Chapter 173: The air burns out
Originally, it was all fine, but as a hurricane swept by, the torches that were quietly inserted in the cave wall around were also lit up in an instant.
Zhao Yu simulated the scene of thousands of torches suddenly burning in his mind, and he couldn't help but look at both sides in amazement.
What the hell is going on? He went around in circles out of thin air.
And the others were not much better, and they all looked at the torches in surprise, and looked at each other again. If you want to describe the people looking at each other, you can probably use the turn to annotate - after this person glanced at the person, he quickly changed his target and looked at the third person.
This is enough to prove everyone's surprise.
"What the hell is ...... What the hell is going on?" Ozturk opened his forehead, looking as surprised as he could.
"Who is it...... Ignited the ...... here The torches here ......" Qian Hao and the werewolf looked at each other.
A few minutes ago, neither of them would have thought they would be looking at each other for so long.
"No! it shouldn't have been lit artificially!" Shen Mengting walked towards the cave wall, and she carefully looked at the torches that were stuck in the wall.
The torch was inserted deep into the cave wall, revealing only about a dozen centimeters of the head. That's probably why people didn't notice them before.
Shen Mengting bent down and inserted the sword in her hand into the scabbard on her back with her backhand. She stared firmly at one of the torches, the flame burning from the flames, striking at the root that stretched across the cave wall.
Then, she straightened up.
"It can't be a human order. She turned to look around at everyone, "There was no one here just now except us, how could we light torches?"
"Could it be an assassin!" Qian Hao assumed, his hands pressed to the chin position, "Assassins can do anything around others without knowing it." ”
"Impossible!" This proposal was directly rejected by Chen Tianhao, but he was standing next to him before, and he didn't even release a word, "It can't be an assassin!" Chen Tianhao and the two close associates he had been close to each other came to look at each other, "Have you forgotten? There are three assassins here! How could other assassins take advantage of it!"
"Yes!yes!" Ozturk's tail was raised, a precursor to nervousness, "I can't say how good I am." However, unless I'm the best Assassin of Cellos, there's no way I'm going to be unaware of it. ”
"And if it's the top assassin, how can he be so bored as to steal hundreds or thousands of torches around us, and then disappear innocently!" Kapil shook his head.
was denied by the three assassins, and Qian Hao suddenly felt a taste in his heart.
"In other words......" Shen Mengting turned her head and rushed to look at the torches, "it is impossible to light it artificially." ”
"If it wasn't artificial, how could it suddenly burn...... What about the burning?" Jiang Jingwen clenched her hands into a fist and put it on her chest, and she could see that she was a little uneasy.
"It could be some mechanism!" Shen Mengting's gaze gradually lost her mind, she recalled that the door to enter the tunnel was activated by a switch, so the torches here could also be lit by a switch.
"In other words, there's a trap in the tunnel!" Ozturk looked around, "and when we came here, we triggered the senses. And then...... The torches here were all lit. ”
"It could be so!"
"But what's the point?" Qian Hao tilted his head in confusion, "What boring person would set a switch that automatically lights a torch." He has this spare time, so he might as well build a mechanism that will explode when people come in! At least he can prevent people from coming in! Hehe!"
Qian Hao's inappropriate joke suddenly made everyone stare a few times. Especially Shen Mengting, she had the urge to step forward and slap Qian Hao's head.
"You can't say that! Maybe this organ is just to guide people!" Chen Tianhao clasped his arms with both hands, and one leg shook comfortably.
"Ahh
"Didn't you notice? We were like headless flies in the tunnel, and we couldn't find our way at all. But when these torches are lit, not only are there enough light sources, but the torches also seem to guide us forward!"
was told by Chen Tianhao like this, Qian Haodun felt that there seemed to be something really like that.
In the past, when the torch was lit, it meant that it meant to continue exploring the tunnel. Qian Hao looked at the tunnel, which was no longer dark, and gave him the courage to continue walking.
"Chen Tianhao is right!" Shen Mengting spoke at this moment. She deliberately approached Chen Tianhao and looked at him deeply, "I guess it's a man-made mechanism." The purpose of setting up this mechanism is to give people the idea of moving on. Think about it, who wants to walk like a blind man in a dark tunnel?"
"But...... If that's the case...... "Kapil looked puzzled," said Kapil, "that the torch has been lit all the time." Why do you want to make it so mysterious, someone has been sensed since then, and then ignited?"
"Hey, do you think a torch can be lit forever?
"And judging by the fact that the gate was hidden, it was clear that the designers didn't want anyone who entered the tunnel to find out. So it makes sense to make a dark spot!" Ozturk's tail finally fell to the ground.
"The designers didn't want outsiders to find out about it. However, I want to make it easy for people inside them to find this side. That's why that organ is involved. Because only if you know the designer will you find that door and enter the tunnel!"
Shen Mengting calmly repeated her thoughts. She thought back to her that if it weren't for Zhao Yu's crooked attack before, they wouldn't have been able to reach the mechanism of that door, and naturally they wouldn't have been able to get into this tunnel.
"Wait! what do you mean......" Ozturk's eyes widened, and the bulb-like eyes seemed to glow green under the glow of the burning torches, "there's something very important in there!"
Shen Mengting looked at Ozturk's excited appearance, and she also regretted it a little in her heart. To be honest, she didn't want to talk about the treasure at this time.
"Something important?" said Kapil, speculating. Suddenly, as if he understood something, he looked at Özturk in amazement, "Ahh......h
"Yes, eight or nine are not far from ten!" Ozturk let out a beastly roar, "and at the end of the tunnel is where the treasure is kept. ”
As soon as Ozturk's words were released, the words of 'something' came out of everyone's mouths.
Especially Chen Tianhao, his eyes seemed to pop out. He looked to the end of the tunnel in surprise, and his steps moved a few times unconsciously.
"Is the treasure really in there?" Qian Hao was also surprised and couldn't close his mouth.
"Whether it's there or not!, you'll only know if you go there!" Ozturk looked viciously at the end of the tunnel, his mouth spitting out a low 'sizzle' of his right hand.
"yes! Shen Mengting moved a few steps, and patted the dust on her clothes by the way.
For some reason, the current behavior of everyone always makes Zhao Yu feel that it is a team, as if everyone is very familiar with each other. If Qian Hao and Shen Mengting alone can still talk about it, but now even Chen Tianhao and the two foreign assassins have joined in without disobedience.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but blink his eyes, for a while he couldn't tell the difference between the werewolf clan and the troll clan, whether they were friends or enemies.
"Then why are you still here, let's go!" Ozturk grinned.
But just as he was about to take a step, Chen Tianhao's taunt made him stop again, "I said Ozturk! Are you very willing to act with us humans now? I remember that you looked down on humans so much before!"
Ozturk pointed the wolf's head at Chen Tianhao, "Yes! I really didn't like you humans before! But now the market has changed. You all know how bad things are right now. As the swordswoman said, what we need now is unity, and if we don't, we're all going to die here. ”
"That's right!" Shen Mengting sighed up and down, "The problems that have occurred now are obviously not something that one of us can solve, and if we want to break through the difficulties, we must unite." ”
She and Ozturk looked at each other, and the other party naturally nodded in response.
"Let's hurry up, then, after all, we're here for that treasure. Kapil said to the crowd.
Everyone nodded, and although Qian Hao's head was slight, he did not object to the cooperation with the two foreign clans.
Chen Tianhao didn't mean anything about it, he smoothed his hand to the scabbard tied to his waist, and stroked it along the middle to the hilt. However, when his hand touched the hilt of the sword, he put it down again. He hoped that in case of danger, he could draw the rapier in its scabbard at the first moment.
"Then let's go!" Shen Mengting puffed out her chest and walked around first.
The rest followed. So, everyone followed the torch light of the tunnel and walked towards the end of it.
The end of the tunnel was still so deep, and I walked for about a few minutes, but I didn't reach the end. To the surprise of many people, the torches also kept stretching forward, burning extremely vigorously. It seems that the torch will burn forever and will not be extinguished.
"Wow! Do you feel it, why is it getting hotter and hotter!" Qian Hao kept fanning himself with his hands as he walked around. It's just that this move has little effect, and he still feels extremely hot.
Not only Qian Hao, but the rest also said that they were a little hot.
"The temperature has really risen. Oops!" Jiang Jingwen wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, which was covered with beads of sweat.
Zhao Yu also pulled down the clothes on his chest from time to time, it was indeed a little hot, and there was a feeling of breathlessness. He regulated his breath and tried not to let himself experience symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Still, he found it difficult to breathe, as if the air had been vaporized.
"Well, the temperature is indeed high!" Shen Mengting shook her head from side to side, thinking about looking at both sides, "But that can't be helped." There are so many torches in one tunnel!"
"But...... That's too hot!" Qian Hao's movements quickened, and the palms he used had already turned into ghosts.
"I think you'd better stop talking about the heat. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid we won't know how simple it is to just feel hot!" Shen Mengting's face was very serious, as if there was not even a trace of a smile mixed in it.
"Huh, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't you feel a little difficult to breathe now?" Shen Mengting glanced at Qian Hao.
Qian Hao touched his chest with his hand, "Ah! It seems that you are talking like this! Seem...... Seem...... It's a little hard to breathe!"
Listening to the conversation in front of him, Zhao Yu couldn't help but look down at his chest. Unexpectedly, he was not the only one who had difficulty breathing, and everyone felt this way.
"Why is this happening?" asked Qian Hao, puzzled.
"This is because of the relationship between the two torches, the more vigorously and persistently they burn, the heavier the burden on us!"
"Ahh
"The burning of a flame involves air. In other words, as the torches continue to burn, the air in the tunnel will be depleted. Then, we will all suffocate to death!" Chen Tianhao calmly repeated the eerie words behind the diagonal seat.
Zhao Yu heard all the hairs written behind him, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"If that's the case, then we're going to have to speed things up!" Ozturk snorted several times in annoyance, groping his mouth and digging out his nostrils.
The lack of breathing made the werewolf very distressed, and it seemed that there was a hood over his face, causing him to be unable to breathe.
"Yes!" Shen Mengting said as she had already quickened her pace, "Let's hurry up!"
Everyone's movement has obviously accelerated a lot, but the environment is still deteriorating. Not only is the air thinner, but the temperature is getting hotter. Soon, many people were getting a lot of sweat on their foreheads.
Zhao Yu himself was not the kind of physique that was afraid of heat, but because of the heat, he still swung his arms extremely uncomfortably. He kept handing over his breath, but the effect was the same as nothing. His breathing was not smooth, and his vision was a little blurry.
If only I could jump into a river and take a cold shower now!Zhao Yu swallowed.
"Do you want to extinguish the torches! this will lighten the burden!" Qian Hao proposed, his hands ready to go to the archers to pull the strings. According to his wishes, if you shoot another arrow of light along a torch, the whole line of torches will be extinguished.
But Chen Tianhao completely extinguished Qian Hao's proposal like pouring cold water, "It's useless! After you shoot the light arrow, not only do you consume more air because you use your skills, but you will also make the torch burn more vigorously before it is extinguished, so the gain outweighs the loss!"
"He's right!"
"Look!
Just when everyone was about to be tortured to the limit, Shen Mengting's words made them all burst open.
Shen Mengting made a sharp gesture of pointing forward, and a happy smile appeared on her face. And following her fingers, everyone saw a door with a golden color.
"Finally...... Finally ......" Ozturk breathed out of his mouth.
"Everyone run there, the end is just around the corner!" As soon as she spoke, Shen Mengting sprinted forward.
And they all followed.
After a few efforts, everyone came to the golden gate. It was this door at the end of the tunnel, and the burning torches on both sides came to an abrupt end.
"Is this the end of the door?" Qian Hao first craned his neck to observe the details of the gate, and then he slowly took a few steps back, looking at the whole gate.
"Of course. Shen Mengting said with certainty, "Do you see that there are other places to go in the tunnel?"
"And how are we going to open this door?" Kapil reached out and stroked the door. The door was cold, and a chill touched his fingers.
"Get out of the way, I'll open the door!" Shen Mengting shook her head from side to side.
"How are you going to drive?"
Shen Mengting didn't respond to this question, she just stretched out her arms and kept waving them behind her.
The crowd slowly retreated, and they all stood a little farther away from the door. In that case, Shen Mengting was standing alone in front of the door.
Looking at Shen Mengting's back, Zhao Yu blinked blankly. He didn't know what method this woman would use to open the door, and knowing that Shen Mengting pulled out the giant sword behind him, his eyes widened in a trance.
With a sound, Shen Mengting's raised sword also fell. Immediately after, the gate was split in two.
Ah! It's amazing! Zhao Yu felt it from the bottom of his heart.
And as the door opened, a cool breath quickly came to the face. Zhao Yu's hair was blown up slightly, and he quickly reveled in the coolness of the air.
"Hah! the door is open, fresh air!" Qian Hao sniffed around excitedly.
Others also immediately showed a relaxed posture. What was once dull and difficult to breathe has now become full of autumn coolness.
"Let's go!" Shen Mengting walked towards the door.
The moment you step through the door, the coolness is even more pronounced. Everyone was immersed in the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe, just like a child.
"Hahaha...... Finally relieved!"
"Really...... You can breathe!"
"Great! It's not hot anymore! it's great," Kapil scratched his fiery red hair
Ozturk also flapped the hair on his body, which had been stained on his face, probably because of the heat.
Chen Tianhao was relatively calm, and after feeling the current coolness, he regained his cautious posture.
It makes sense to be careful now, Shen Mengting always holds the sword tightly in the book. She kept looking around, and finally after about a circle, she took a long, deep breath.
The inside of the door seems to be a palace-like place, and the inside is relatively spacious. Because the light was a little dim, Shen Mengting didn't have time to look at the whole picture inside.
But soon, something changed here.
Just like in the tunnel just now, without warning, several fires burst up until the surrounding area was extremely bright.
At this time, Shen Mengting could be regarded as being able to see her surroundings clearly, and she showed a surprised look in a trance.
