Chapter 361: Escape
The huge grappling force on his feet made He Cheng unable to break free at all, and the more he struggled, the greater the force from below, and the blood pool was extremely fishy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's dead, it's dead, I'm definitely going to die this time!"
He regretted exclaiming in his heart, but his hands were trying his best to grasp everything at hand.
When people are on the verge of death, they are often able to give full play to their potential for survival, and after choking on a few mouthfuls of blood, He regret's heart suddenly calmed down, and he plunged down and grabbed it indiscriminately.
He regret only felt that something like algae in the water was wrapped around his hand, and he didn't have time to think so much, He regret tore it hard, and he really found that the force pulling his ankle was a little less.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, He regretted his feet violently, and finally broke free.
He regret surfaced, exhaled a few breaths hard, didn't dare to think about what was in the water just now and hurriedly swam towards the exit, at this time there was a lot of water in the stone chamber, and it was only more than a meter away from the ground.
"Hold on to the rope!" Zu Lan, who was anxious, was about to jump down to help He Cheng, but suddenly saw He Cheng coming out of the pool of blood, and hurriedly threw the rope to He Cheng's hand.
This time, He regretted not wasting the opportunity, grabbed the rope with one hand and wrapped it around his arm a few times, and then climbed to the ground in one go with the pull of Zu Lan.
After He regretted coming up, Zu Lan didn't have time to let go of the rope, only to feel an extremely powerful pulling force coming from below, if it wasn't for Zu Lan's reaction fast enough, he would have almost been dragged into the blood pool.
He Cheng pulled Zu Lan back a few steps, and looked at the entrance of the stone chamber in shock, the red viscous liquid inside tumbling wantonly. Like boiling brown sugar water, there was a terrible scream from the entrance. If you don't know, you'll think it's the entrance to hell, and countless demons want to break free from the cage and escape.
A few minutes later. The boiling red liquid finally regained its calm, and Zu Lan and He Cheng glanced at each other, both of them seeing a blank look in each other's shocked eyes.
Roar!
At this moment, a bloody hand slapped on the ground at the entrance of the stone chamber, and then a blood-red foreign object poked out of the pool of blood a terrifying head, which looked like a human, but had no facial features, only a pair of eyes and a mouth on the face, and no nose or ears.
"Blood corpse!" Zu Lan covered her mouth in fright, and pulled He Cheng to run.
He regretted but ignored her. He picked up the table next to him and smashed it, and the spiritual positions on the table were scattered all over the ground.
The table in the ancestral temple of the He family was in disrepair and had already decayed, and as soon as He Cheng smashed it, the table was broken into several pieces, and the bloody corpse stared at He Cheng, but there was no reaction.
He Cheng always felt as if there were countless words to tell him in those eyes, so he also stood still, his face dazed.
"Don't go yet! Wait for death! "For the terrible blood corpse, Zu Lan knows much more than He regrets. As soon as she grabbed He Cheng and ran out.
He regretted letting her pull him, turning back as he ran, he even felt that the bloody corpse had no ill will towards him in the moment of trance just now.
He Cheng and Zu Lan crashed headlong into the rain curtain, and the weather was fine when they came. Unexpectedly, it was already pouring rain at this time, and being drenched by the cold rain, He regret finally regained his senses. It's better to get out of here now.
He regretted turning around just in time to see the black cat reappearing, and it walked towards the entrance of the blood pool step by step with lazy steps. Just as He Cheng and Zu Lan rushed out of the thatched bushes in the head of the ancestral temple, he saw the black cat suddenly jump into the pool of blood.
The small courtyard of the ancestral temple was full of standing water. The heavy rain in the sky still did not mean to stop for half a minute, and through the small courtyard, the walls of the gate were full of cracks, and it seemed that it was very likely to collapse.
He regretted turning around and looking at the weeds all over the courtyard, as if he wanted to see through these weeds what was going on in the blood pool.
"Why are you stunned, don't hurry up and leave!" Zu Lan has never been a woman with a procrastinating personality, and when she saw He regretted, she hurriedly urged.
"I always feel like we're missing something important." He regret didn't know how to explain it to him, so he frowned and said.
"Huh? Why don't we go back and see? Zu Lan also paused when he heard He regret say this, and asked.
He Cheng shook his head, thinking of all the dangers experienced in the ancestral temple, he still rejected this proposal, and said: "Forget it, I think this place is probably about to collapse, and if you go in again, it is very likely that you will be buried inside, and it will be pitiful if you don't even have a person to collect the body at that time." ”
After He Cheng finished speaking, he took the lead through the gate and came to the door of the ancestral temple, Zu Lan looked at the barren and weird ancestral temple and gritted his teeth and followed.
At this time, although it was just past six o'clock, but because of this heavy rain, the sky had completely darkened, and it was not much better than the dark moon and high windy nights.
"Zu Lan, you are smarter than me, help me analyze what is going on." He Cheng leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, panting and asked in confusion.
"If He Jiu's disappearance is not a smoke bomb released by your He family, then all of us have been deceived by the old man of your family," Zu Lan's tone was very firm, and with a little self-deprecation, "The so-called haunting of the ancestral temple of the He family is probably also made up by the old man He himself, if I guess correctly, he should have been here all the time, and he has not left for more than 20 years!" ”
"How is that possible!" He Cheng stood up and his eyes widened, "What is the purpose of his doing this, you can deceive the people of Tianji Pavilion, and the people of the Black Knife will be forgotten, how can you even deceive the people of your own family, this makes no sense!" ”
Zu Lan's clothes were already soaked at this time, she took off her coat and wrung the water, the close-fitting clothes outlined her proud figure more perfectly, He regret didn't have the heart to peek at all, although he was trying his best to refute Zu Lan's hypothesis, but deep down he already had some recognition, he just didn't understand what He Jiu's purpose was.
"How can I possibly know what he thinks, you might go back and ask Grandma, maybe she'll know something." Zu Lan shrugged her shoulders, she was just guessing just now, but she said it eloquently and felt that it was very likely that this was really the case.
"Well, let's go home first," He Cheng nodded, "But the haunting of the ancestral temple should be true, didn't you see it all just now......"
After He regretted speaking, he only heard a loud sound from the mountain, and when he looked up, the ancestral temple had completely collapsed and collapsed into ruins. (To be continued.) )
