Chapter 176: Underwater
Ye Feng slowly walked forward with the light of the flashlights illuminated by the people behind him, and he carefully observed the ground to ensure that his steps would not step on some abnormal places.
Suddenly, a soft sound came, Ye Feng felt the floor under his feet move slightly, although he was full of doubts, but at this moment he was not allowed to think about it, he hurriedly leaned forward, his legs were forced, and then the whole person rolled forward.
Just after Ye Feng's body just finished moving, more than a dozen arrows were inserted in the place just now, fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been shot into a hedgehog by the crossbow arrow at this moment.
Ye Feng rolled forward, stood up, saw the arrow stuck behind him, his face was full of doubts, the ground he stepped on just now was carefully observed by him, and there was nothing different from other road surfaces, but it still triggered the mechanism.
When the people in the rear saw this scene, they were also afraid for a while, if there was no Ye Feng to explore the way ahead, maybe there would be a few more corpses on the ground.
Seeing Ye Feng staying in place, Long Sheng said to Ye Feng: "Little brother policeman, you have good skills, please continue to help us lead the way." While Long Sheng was speaking, Ah Jiu beside him had already raised his pistol and aimed it at him.
When Ye Feng heard this, he didn't say anything, turned around and continued to walk forward. It seems that it is no longer possible to discern whether the mechanism will be triggered by eye observation alone, Ye Feng simply let go of his steps, and the speed of his walking has increased, as long as he is vigilant at any time, after hearing the sound, he reacts quickly, and the crossbow arrow does not pose much of a threat.
Just as Ye Feng was marching to the center of the passage, he heard a slight noise again.
Just as Ye Feng was about to dodge the crossbow arrows forward, suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the front and the rear, and the entire passage trembled.
The sudden abnormality made Ye Feng stop dodging the crossbow arrows, and the surrounding walls did not shoot crossbow arrows again.
Everyone shone their flashlights in unison to the place where the sound came from the front and back of the passage, only to see that at the exit of the passage in front of them, a stone door suddenly fell from above, and behind it was the stone gate that had just been opened by the people of Kuling Dao, and it fell down again. It won't be long before the passage is blocked.
Long Sheng didn't think much about it, for this trip, he had been planning for a long time, and he couldn't afford to make mistakes, so he hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, rush in quickly." ”
Hearing his words, everyone hurriedly rushed towards the exit of the passage in front of them. Ah Jiu came to Long Sheng's side, squatted down, and prepared to carry him over.
Long Sheng did not refuse at this time, lying on Ah Jiu's back, Ah Jiu picked up Long Sheng on his back, and quickly rushed towards the exit of the passage.
Just as everyone was running, a burst of yellow smoke suddenly overflowed from the top of the passage, slowly falling from top to bottom.
Seeing the yellow smoke coming out, the people of Kuling Dao shouted: "Speed up, it's poisonous smoke, if you can't run out of the passage, you have to die here." ”
Hearing the words of the Kuling Daoist, everyone sped up again.
Soon, Ye Feng lowered his body, and was the first to rush out of the passage, and then the Kuling Daoren, Duanmurui, Long Sheng and Ah Jiu, as well as Long Sheng's subordinates, after the stone gate completely fell, there were still three Long Sheng's subordinates who failed to escape, Long Sheng and the others, only heard the other end of the stone gate, and there was a creepy scream, but it didn't last long, and it calmed down.
Faced with this scene, everyone who escaped except Ye Feng and the people of Kuling Dao had cold sweat oozing from their backs.
Ah Jiu squatted down, put Long Sheng down, then picked up the flashlight and began to observe where he was now. I saw that this was a square stone room, with a stone platform in the middle, and a stone bead was placed on the stone platform. In addition to the blocked passage behind him, there is a hole in the other three directions that leads to somewhere.
Seeing the current situation, Long Sheng asked the Kuling Daoist who was standing on the edge of the stone platform, "Master Kuling, which direction should we go now?" ”
The people of Kuling Dao did not reply, but quietly looked at the stone beads on the stone platform.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the people of the Kuling Dao had been silent, Long Sheng couldn't help but speak up again: "Master Kuling?"
The people of Kuling Dao finally came back to their senses, and a trace of confusion in their eyes disappeared in a flash. Said to Long Sheng: "I don't know much about the art of feng shui, but I have studied the number of tricks, so I'm not sure which way to go, but if I had to choose it, I might choose the one on the left."
Hearing the words of the people of Kuling Dao, everyone's eyes looked at the road on the left, but after looking at it repeatedly, they didn't find any difference between the road on the left and the other two.
Just when everyone didn't know what was going on in their hearts, the voice of the Kuling Dao people slowly sounded, "The passage just now is located in the dry position, and the one who reaches the top is called dry, and where the upper reaches Mo Ruoqi, the sky is the accumulated qi, so the dry is the sky." Kun from the earth, for the earth. Since ancient times, heaven and earth have been combined, and yin and yang are not separated, so next, you should take the Kun position, the dry position is the northwest, and the Kun position is the southwest, so choose the road on the left. ”
Hearing the Kuling Daoist explain an unfathomable word, everyone didn't understand it very clearly, but they felt that it was very reasonable in their hearts.
Long Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to Master Kuling, let's take this passage on the left." ”
Just when Long Sheng's words fell, a shadow suddenly flashed under the stone beads on the stone platform, and Ah Jiu next to the stone platform happened to see this scene.
Ah Jiu hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed the stone bead, and shouted in his mouth: "What is this!" ”
Seeing Ah Jiu's movements, the Kuling Dao people's expressions changed, and they hurriedly shouted, "Don't move." ”
It's a pity that Ah Jiu's hand has touched the stone bead, and then the stone bead rolled off the stone platform and fell into pieces on the ground, but there was nothing on the stone platform, only a small hole in it.
At the moment when the stone beads were broken, the whole stone chamber began to shake, and there was a huge roar on the top, and the people in the stone chamber hurriedly shone the flashlight upwards, only to see that the top of the stone chamber had begun to crack, and some debris began to fall down, and soon, some large and small stones also began to fall off, and everyone hurriedly avoided the falling rocks.
In a panic, Ye Feng's eyes swept and saw a boulder, which was smashing vertically towards Duanmurui below, Ye Feng's tied hands quickly shrank, and his hands were easily detached from the rope, and then pounced on Duanmurui.
Duanmurui, who didn't perceive the danger, was suddenly pounced by Ye Feng, and the two of them fell backwards together.
And the Kuling Dao people, who kept dodging the falling rocks, just stayed behind Duanmurui, and when they were caught off guard, they were also knocked back by Ye Feng and Duanmurui, who suddenly turned upside down.
Behind the three of them, it was the road on the right, and soon the three of them fell into the hole in the road, and what was unexpected was that the ground where the three of them fell to the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a tunnel, accompanied by Duanmurui's frightened screams, the three of them who were defenseless fell down together without suspense.
Hearing Duanmurui's scream, Long Sheng turned his head, just saw the scene of the three of them falling into the pit, his heart tightened, Ye Feng and Duanmurui's life and death, he didn't care very much, the biggest reliance on entering the underground palace this time was the Kuling Dao people, if he had an accident, then maybe this trip to the underground palace would not be so smooth.
Ah Jiu on the side said to Long Sheng: "Master Long, this stone room is about to collapse, what should I do now." ”
Hearing Ah Jiu's words, he glanced at the top of the stone chamber again, many giant stones were already crumbling, Long Sheng turned his heart sideways and ordered: "Everyone, enter the road on the left." After speaking, he and Ah Jiu walked first to the hole on the left road.
Hearing this, the subordinates who were struggling to avoid falling rocks hurriedly followed behind Long Sheng and rushed towards the passage on the right.
Just after everyone left the stone room, on the stone platform in the center of the stone room, after the stone beads were broken, a scarlet snake letter suddenly appeared in the exposed hole. Soon the stone platform was smashed into pieces in the fall of the rubble, and the entire stone chamber no longer existed.
Ye Feng and the three of them, after falling into the pothole, slid down along the inner wall of the pit at a considerable speed, and the pit was not straight down, but there were many curves. After a minute, it didn't bottom out, and at this time Duanmurui had stopped shouting, but his heart was still full of fear, and his heart was pounding.
Ye Feng and the Kuling Dao people had to calm down a little, but they were still looking down nervously.
After a few tens of seconds, the three of them heard the sound of rushing water at the same time, and after passing a bend again, the three of them saw that there was a hole on both sides of the pothole, spraying out a huge flow of water, and soon the three of them were sprayed by the water, drenched all over their bodies, and then continued to go down with the water.
But this time, the three of them did not continue to fall for too long, and more than ten seconds later, with a popping sound, the three of them fell into the water at the same time, and were swept into the water about one or two meters above the surface by the torrent flowing from above.
The three of them were in the water, holding their breath, and through the flashlight in the hands of the Kuling Daoist and Duanmurui, they illuminated the situation in the water, and wanted to surface, but under the impact of the torrent, they couldn't go up at all.
The three of them had no choice but to swim forward, trying to get out of the impact of the torrent and then float again.
After swimming for about two or three meters, after no longer feeling the impact of the current, the three of them hurriedly floated upward.
However, what shocked the three of them was that after rising one or two meters, there was a hard rock on it, blocking it above, and it was impossible to expose the water at all, at this time, it was more than a minute away from falling into the water, Ye Feng and the people of Kuling Dao were fine, but Duanmurui was already a little short of breath, if they couldn't find a way out, maybe the three of them would have to die in the water.
Ye Feng hurriedly pulled Duanmurui, stuck to the rocks above, and continued to swim forward, and the people of Kuling Dao also followed the two of them.
Thirty seconds later, the three of them still didn't find a way out, and Duanmurui was already exhausted, bubbles came out of her mouth, Ye Feng saw this, didn't care too much, and quickly swam in front of Duanmurui and put his mouth on her lips.
