Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 511 Caught in a desperate situation
Poplar immediately turned around and rushed towards the passage that he had just run out of.
In an instant, he had already rushed through the passage into the burial chamber of the living female corpse.
At a glance, Zheng Xiangtai and the others retreated, and the iron bull flew with iron rods, smashing and striking at a thick tree root that extended from the passage ahead.
But the root of the tree was really like a spirit snake, not only swaying left and right, but even if it was hit by an iron bull, it was soft and powerless.
On the contrary, at the same time as being hit by the Iron Bull, the tail of the root of the tree will suddenly bounce back and pounce towards the Iron Bull's front door.
Forcing the iron bull to retreat step by step, he waved the iron rod into a cloud of light and shadow.
Poplar rushed forward, the black sword swung out three "click" sounds, the top of the root was split into several pieces by the black sword, the remaining part of the root immediately contracted, and in an instant it retracted into the passage in front of it and disappeared without a trace.
"Roots!, really roots!" Zheng Xiangtai shouted uncontrollably, "What kind of monster is this? What kind of monster is this?"
No one answered, and Bai Yang ignored him, so he only turned his face and asked the Red Door Master: "Are you okay with the Red Door Master?"
"I'm fine!" the Red Gate Lord shook his head with a wry smile, "This tree root suddenly jumped out from behind, if it weren't for Tie Niu's quick reaction, Master Zheng and I would only be afraid that one of them would have been dragged away by it!"
It turned out that the roots of the tree climbed silently, and then suddenly burst out and rolled towards the feet of the main body of the Red Gate.
Fortunately, the Red Door Lord and the Iron Bull felt wrong at the same time, and the Red Door Lord immediately flew on his toes, and at the same time, the Iron Bull Tiger roared and swung his stick down.
But the root of the tree was too flexible, and the iron bull smashed it on the ground, but the root of the tree had already turned its head and rolled towards Zheng Xiangtai's ankle.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Tie Niu stepped on the middle of the tree root, forcing the tree root to turn around and roll up to Tie Niu's thigh.
Tie Niu took a step back and struck the top of the tree root with another blow, knocking the root to the ground, which saved Zheng Xiangtai from danger.
Poplar didn't ask any more questions, and directly bent down and reached out to pick up a piece of root from the ground that he had just chopped off.
Yes, it's the root of a tree, and it's the kind of living root that contains water.
Poplar glanced left and right, and walked to the left wall, which also had a large crack in the wall, so much so that the mural on the wall was also damaged.
Poplar also does not use tools, but directly uses his fingers to dig into the cracks, and cut off a few pieces of stone bricks above and below the cracks.
In the crack, there used to be a very thick and long old tree root, but now, the crack is empty, and only a round hole remains, which can prove that in this crack, there was once an old tree root extending and climbing.
"Could it be that it was this tree root that attacked us just now?" exclaimed the Red Door Master.
Poplar couldn't answer, so he could only look up at the top of the burial chamber.
There were originally a few thinner roots on the top of the burial chamber, drilled in and out between the burial chamber supports, and now those roots are still there, and they look like ordinary roots.
The poplar black sword swung out, and with a few "clicks", several roots were split.
And a miracle happened at that moment.
The roots of the trees were as if they were alive, and after being cut by the aspen, they immediately retracted into the roof on both sides, as if someone else had dragged the broken roots into it above the roof.
In an instant, there were only many holes in the roof that had been pierced in and out by the roots, but there was not a single shadow of the roots.
"Oh my God, this and this...... What kind of demon method is it?" Zheng Xiangtai exclaimed again.
Li Da and Li Er couldn't help but turn pale, and Sun Hao shuddered even more.
"Little Brother Bai, let's still ...... I've been fighting backwards all my life, and I've never seen such a weird and terrible thing, I can't even imagine it!" Sun Hao said, and his voice trembled slightly.
"We can't get out!" Poplar shook his head.
"Ahh
"The passage ahead collapsed, and I was almost buried alive under the passage!" said Poplar.
The four inverted men looked at each other.
Zheng Xiangtai walked towards the passage leading to the dome tomb, but after only two steps, Xu was frightened in his heart, and immediately shrank back, just looking at the poplar with blank eyes.
Bai Yang looked at Tie Niu first and said, "Tie Niu, your iron rod is not suitable for dealing with this monster, I just saw Lao Zhufeng's big knife fall to the ground, let's find that big knife for you to use first!"
Tie Niu agreed, threw the iron rod in his hand to the ground, and with the sound of "choking", Tie Niu scolded heavily: "What kind of strange thing is this, so that the iron rod that Lao Tzu has just practiced can't work!"
Poplar understands Iron Bull's mood very well. These days, he has been fighting with martial arts masters repeatedly, forcing Tie Niu, who is lazy by nature, to practice a set of stick methods.
Although that set of stick techniques is not a simple martial art, but with the strength and speed of the Iron Bull, it can be worthy of the top martial arts masters.
But it is precisely because that set of stick methods is too simple, to deal with a flexible and elastic monster like the tree root, the iron bull blindly smashes and slams, and it is difficult to smash and break the tree root.
But if he has a big knife in his hand, even if the iron bull uses it out of order, with his strength and speed, he can break the roots of the tree with a single wave.
Just as he was about to bow his head on the ground to look for the big knife that Lao Zhufeng had dropped, Li Er suddenly bent down and picked it up from the ground and said, "This is the big knife of Master Lao!"
In the past, the four of them fought backwards, only thinking that the iron bull was a stupid force, but just now the iron bull waved the iron rod to block the root of the tree from attacking the others, and its speed and fierceness were so fierce that even if the four of them combined together, it was difficult to parry.
The four of them were all in awe, but at the same time, they all pinned their hopes for life on Poplar and Iron Bull.
Poplar stretched out his hand to take the big knife, and saw that it was a thick-backed big knife, which was heavy in his hand, but it was very suitable for the iron bull.
He handed the big knife to Tie Niu, who grabbed it in his hand, waved it twice, and said, "It's good that it's heavy enough, otherwise I'm afraid I'll break it!"
Zheng Xiangtai hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand towards Tie Niu, and said, "Thanks to Brother Tie for saving me just now, I treated Brother Tie slowly before, and I ask Brother Tie to bear with me!"
Iron Bull waved his hand indifferently. Zheng Xiangtai turned his face, he had long lost the posture of an elder, and said with a begging face: "Little Brother Bai, let's hurry up and see if the collapsed passage can still get out, right?"
Bai Yang knew that he would not die if he didn't look at it, so he could only nod his head and let Tie Niu walk in the front to open the way, and he held the black sword in his hand to break the back.
The group walked through the passage in horror and entered the domed burial chamber painted with words and pictures.
Naturally, everyone had no interest in studying the words and drawings of the full dome, and only passed through the burial chamber to the mouth of the passage diagonally opposite.
Sure enough, the passage collapsed completely, and the situation that everyone expected to leave more or less gaps to be able to barely get out was simply wishful thinking.
"What can we do? Shall we ...... Just like my senior brothers, I want to be suffocated to death in this underground palace, and I will never be able to get out?" Zheng Xiangtai suddenly sat on the ground, babbling in despair and despair.
Sun Hao and Li Da Li couldn't help but feel secretly cold, but they could only remain silent, and only looked at Bai Yang, hoping that this young man, who was almost supernatural, could turn the tide and lead them to escape from a desperate situation.
But in fact, Poplar was more anxious than everyone else.
Because he not only had to consider the life and death of these people in front of him, he was even more worried about the safety of Ding Lingling and Hongxing above.
Of course, with Hongxing Ding Lingling's martial arts and wit, it is more than enough to deal with that ill-intentioned Wang Wu, but the problem is that once they don't go out for a long time, Hongxing Ding Lingling will inevitably go to the tomb to look for it.
At this moment, the passage collapsed, and Hongxing Ding Lingling couldn't enter the deeper tomb, but that kind of root monster was not restricted by the collapse of the passage, and it would inevitably suddenly rush out and attack the two girls when Hongxing Ding Lingling was digging the passage with all her might.
It's just that the martial arts of the two girls are impossible to resist.
Zheng Xiangtai sat on the ground and muttered a few words, and suddenly jumped up and said, "How can I forget my apprentice Wang Wu outside? If we don't go out for a long time, he will definitely go down to the tomb to answer, as long as he helps us dig a passage from the outside, we can escape!"
The more he thought about it, the more right he became, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Da really couldn't get used to his timid and frivolous temperament, so he couldn't help but say coldly: "Didn't you let your apprentice secretly plot against the two girls above after we went to the tomb? But now the skills of Little Brother Bai and Little Brother Tie are far beyond our imagination, since they are relieved to boldly let the two girls stay on top, I am afraid that your apprentice will be difficult to be the opponent of the two girls, and I am afraid that it may be injured in the hands of the two girls at this time!"
Zheng Xiangtai was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "You mean, my apprentice Wang Wuhe ......"
He really had a bit of a master-apprentice feeling for his disciple, and immediately turned his face to look at Poplar.
Bai Yang glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't worry, we are archaeologists, not inverted people, and we won't do things that kill people!"
Zheng Xiangtai's old face turned blue for a while, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "It turns out ...... You've been prepared!"
"You're not talking nonsense!" Tie Niu replied to him irritably, looking at Poplar with an anxious face, "Old Bai, we have to find a way to get out as soon as possible, otherwise...... Hongxing and Lingling will definitely come down to find us!"
"Isn't that just right!" Zheng Xiangtai immediately answered, "Two girls have come down and dug the passage, so we can escape smoothly!"
"Shut up!" Iron Bull couldn't help but roar.
Zheng Xiangtai was stunned, a little inexplicable Iron Bull was angry.
Sun Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zheng has always been shrewd, why is his brain knotted today, is he really frightened by the root monster? That root monster originally grew in the soil, this passage collapse can stop us, but it can't stop the roots from drilling out, the two girls are really going to come down, I'm afraid they can't save us, but they themselves are trapped in this big tomb!"
Zheng Xiangtai suddenly opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word anymore.
