Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Scorpion
When Ahab and Ze Zexi sneaked away, Zhao Qi, who was entangled with the two kobolds, had already felt it, but was dragged down by the two kobolds in front of him, and now he had no way to care about these two people, so he could only watch them go away.
"Hmph, do you think you'll be fine if you run away? It's not a safe place to go. Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he had already executed these two people in his heart, but the executioner was not him.
After a few collisions, the homemade mace in Zhao Qi's hand was about to become a shield due to the fierce collision.
Zhao Qi shook off the mace in his hand, and waved his fist to fight with it again, but the effect was very poor, the bones of these two kobolds were terrible, and the combat instinct was still very developed, just like the kobold with a scimitar, waving the huge scimitar in his hand was almost no less than a martial arts master with a knife.
Zhao Qi flashed out of the battle circle, quickly came to the corner of the wall, and picked up the spear that had been knocked down by himself before.
However, just after a few attacks with a spear, Zhao Qi threw the spear aside, the reason was that this spear was too long, and he was not a martial arts master, and he could play with knives, guns and sticks.
Lily jumped to her feet in a hurry, but there was no way, she couldn't help but hate her uselessness in her heart, and she also learned some self-defense skills, but when she was with Zhao Qi, she was basically a burden.
Zhao Qi, who used sanda skills, was always entangled with the two kobolds, feeling that his physical strength was slowly declining, and Zhao Qi also began to be anxious.
If you wait until your physical strength is exhausted, then it is really over.
"No, we have to get these two dogs done quickly." Zhao Qi's strength and speed are good, the only shortcoming is that he does not have a weapon that can kill the enemy in one hit, although he knocked down a kobold spear before, but the spear is three meters long. Zhao Qi really didn't need it.
In order to kill these two kobolds as soon as possible, Zhao Qi also set his sights on the scimitar in the hand of another kobold, but short weapons are much more flexible than long weapons, and in a short time, Zhao Qi did not find a chance to knock out the scimitar in his hand.
"What is this?" Zhao Qi inadvertently saw a yellow, orange and orange handle on the waists of the two kobolds, and after careful identification, he finally recognized that these were two short swords with a length of more than sixty centimeters.
It is said to be a short sword, but it is an out-and-out dagger on the body of a kobold.
Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, approached the two, and flashed between them. Grab your right hand.
With a sound of "Qiang ......", a sparkling short sword appeared in Zhao Qi's hand.
The handle of this short sword is about twenty centimeters, and it is inlaid with precious gems, which looks extremely luxurious, but the handle is too thick, causing Zhao Qi to only hold it with two hands, which looks like a strange heavy short sword.
The scimitar and the short sword collided heavily, flashing a burst of sparks, and Zhao Qi retreated. looked at the short sword in his hand, and saw that it was still as usual, and there was no damage in the slightest.
"Good fellows." Zhao Qi said appreciatively, and looked at the two kobolds in front of him again. A relaxed look finally appeared on his face.
Zhao Qi had been unable to attack for a long time before, because he didn't have a weapon to fit his hands, but this time is different, although this short sword is not too suitable, it is always a weapon that can hurt kobolds. And it's not as hard to use as a spear.
……
"you." With the power of Wan Jun, Zhao Qi stabbed the short sword in his hand deeply into the eye socket of the last kobold. The kobold, known as the undead, twitched on the ground a few times before never moving again.
"Zhao Qi, you're not injured, are you?" Lily hurriedly ran to Zhao Qi and asked anxiously.
The last word "I didn't ......" was not finished. Zhao Qi tilted his body and fell into Lily's arms.
Losing his aura, after such a long time of fighting, after exhausting himself in one breath, Zhao Qi finally fell down tired.
"You...... What happened to you? Don't scare me. Seeing Zhao Qi, who had always been standing at the forefront, with a white face like white paper, falling into her arms, Lily finally couldn't bear to cry, and her face like a little flower cat made people feel pity.
"I'm not dead, why are you crying?" Zhao Qi took a few breaths and sat up from Lily's arms.
"You...... You're okay, right? Lily asked, wiping tears from her eyes.
"It's just a little bit out of strength, just rest for a while."
"Uh-oh." When Lily heard Zhao Qi's words, her heart finally relaxed.
Zhao Qi sat on the ground and rested for only five minutes before standing up again.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked.
"Almost, let's hurry up." Zhao Qi said and looked at the short sword that he had inserted in the kobold's eye socket.
Frowning, Zhao Qi abandoned this short sword and picked up another identical short sword from the waist of another kobold.
"Zhao Qi, why don't you just rest for a while." Lily looked at Zhao Qi worriedly and said softly.
"It's too dangerous here, so let's get out early." Zhao Qi shook his head, pulled up Lily, whose lips were already cracked, and walked towards the stone gate where Ahab and Jersey had left.
There are two forks in the stone gate, one leading to the front and the other to the left.
"Zhao Qi, where should we go?" Lily was already very weak at this time, but she didn't show it, after all, she hadn't eaten or drunk water for a day and a night.
"Hmph, have you forgotten what's inside that light curtain from before?" Zhao Qi looked at the straight passage in front of him, and a grim laugh came out of his mouth.
"You mean the big scorpion?" Lily recalled the huge scorpion that appeared at the end of the pictures she and Zhao Qi had seen, and said as if she had realized something.
"Aren't the two of them running fast? Then let them go and talk to the scorpion, and we'll go this way. Zhao Qi looked at the passage in front of him and pulled Lily towards the left.
……
"Ahab, did you say that the Oriental man died?" Jersey walked through the passageway, looking behind him from time to time.
"Surely dead, are those two monsters human beings able to defeat? No kidding. Ahab said without looking back.
"But that Oriental is not a simple person, have you ever seen someone who can punch through a stone brick more than half a meter thick?" Zezexi swallowed and said with some hesitation. At Jersey's words, Ahab fell silent and did not speak until a long time.
"It doesn't matter who lives or dies between him and those two kobolds, all I know now is that if we can't find anything to eat, the two of us will definitely die in here, understand?" Ahab began to quicken his steps as he spoke.
Thinking of his own situation now, Jersey didn't dare to say any more, and forced the feeling of hunger in his stomach to keep up with Ahab in front.
The two of them walked on the straight passage, but this passage seemed to be a little too long, and the two walked for a long time before they found a sealed stone door in front of them.
This stone gate is not as smooth as the previous ones, but a huge scorpion is painted on it, which looks a little gloomy.
The stone door was closed without any obvious opening and closing, but Ahab and Jersey were not ordinary people, and as veterans of tomb robbing for many years, they had naturally encountered such situations many times.
Ahab thought for a moment, and then looked at the torches on either side of the stone gate.
Learning the previous way Zhao Qi opened the door, the torch on the left rotated 360 degrees counterclockwise, and the torch on the right rotated 360 degrees clockwise.
I heard a click, and the stone door slowly opened......
"This ...... Ahab, we sent it. Jersey looked at everything in front of him, his face flushed with excitement, and said to Ahab.
"If we can get out alive, then I'll send it." Ahab's face was also very excited, but he still said rationally.
The thing in front of the two of them was very simple, just a huge scorpion, but the whole body of this scorpion was made of gold, and its weight was no less than a few tons.
The carving of this scorpion is extremely delicate, whether it is its two front chelae or the glittering tail pin, it gives people a feeling that this scorpion is alive.
Half a meter above the scorpion, there was also a bead floating in the air that exuded black gold.
As if it was not subject to the gravitational pull of the earth, the bead floated in the air on the scorpion's upper body, emitting a black gas that enveloped the scorpion's body.
"What is this?" Jersey scooped up the black bead the size of a fist on the scorpion's head.
When the black bead was picked up from the scorpion's head, the entire underground labyrinth shook instantly, and all the torches that had no fire and spontaneous combustion were extinguished, and the entire underground labyrinth fell into darkness, and at the same time, the scorpion that seemed to be made of pure gold slowly opened its eyes......
And on the other side before all this happened.
"Zhao Qi, let's go this way, right?" Lily and Zhao Qi supported each other and slowly walked forward.
"I don't know where this road leads, but relatively speaking, that road is a road to death, so it's safer to walk from this side." Zhao Qi shook his head, not knowing how to answer Lily's question.
"I wish there could be a kitchen in front of this labyrinth, so that I can eat a big meal, and I can eat almost an entire cow now." Lily smacked her lips, as if savoring the smell of the steak.
"No kidding, even if there is a kitchen, you can't have steak, Egyptians don't eat steak." Zhao Qi said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, the two suddenly fell into silence.
The reason is that a table suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, which was filled with countless delicacies, especially the steak that Lily had just mentioned, which was smoking, as if it had just been cooked...... (To be continued......)
