Chapter 153
"I once doubted His Royal Highness, and of course, I also doubted Shi Jieyu. It's only now that we found out that the real traitor is Shi Jieyu. Just now, it was she who subtly let us discover these caves, and she was right, it was very dangerous, she had known it for a long time. ”
In the darkness, Meishuang's voice was a little hollow.
Cong Yue didn't have a good impression of An Riyan, but he didn't want to stimulate An Riyan when Kato was cruel, but Mei Shuang was suspicious of Shi Jieyu, and then asked, "Didn't she also remind us of the danger here before?" ”
Hearing the resentment in Cong Yue's words, Mei Shuang sneered faintly, "That's because her conscience has not been completely extinguished, otherwise you and I would have been on Huangquan Road a long time ago, not to mention the caves and tunnels, which she first proposed, needless to say."
When he said this, everyone was silent.
In such a short period of time, a person can disappear in front of you silently, not to mention how strange it is, if you don't know this place, how can you disappear so quickly, if you are not killed, how can you disappear on your own?
In fact, Shi Jieyu didn't go too far, after she turned over and went up for a while, she happened to lie in a recess, and the stone wall below blocked her, and she couldn't be seen from below at all.
She still heard Meishuang's words clearly, she had heard of Meishuang's cleverness, but as soon as she left, Meishuang revealed her essence, and she still admired this girl who was a little silly on the surface, especially when she heard Meishuang say that she had a "clear conscience", she still couldn't help but tremble fiercely.
She took a deep breath and looked down at the situation, knowing that this already weak team was losing troops and morale plummeting at the moment, and there would be no big storms in the future.
So, the hidden weapon in his hand hovered in the palm of his hand for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, withdrew it and disappeared into a very inconspicuous cave above.
The cave extends in all directions, Shi Jieyu lit a fire in it, searched in the cave according to the previous formula, and then felt the mark in an inconspicuous place, and ran quickly along the instructions above, while running silently in her heart, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
Cong Fei stuck to the cave wall, and saw a white light flying out of it like an arrow, but he didn't have time to remind Kato who was looking down at his feet, he could only watch the white light in the middle of Kato's body, and a strong flame ignited in an instant, which can be described as an extremely tragic death.
The torches fell to the ground and were extinguished in an instant.
He immediately stuck to the wall and did not move, and he had just come in, and he didn't know what triggered the mechanism inside. It's hard to say who inadvertently stepped on the mechanism, touched it, or the vibrations caused by the sound of the two of them.
He had never seen the flame, but there was one point, it was menacing, like a sharp sword, and there was no room for maneuver.
He heard the grief and indignation outside, but he didn't dare to respond, for fear that an inadvertent disaster would bring ruin to the people outside.
But at the same time, he saw clearly that when An Riyan held Kato, the white light did not appear again.
I racked my brains and thought for a while, until the torches outside suddenly went out, and it was dark in front of me.
He lay on the wall for a long time, his hands and feet were numb, only a few feet away from the entrance of the cave, but it seemed to be thousands of miles away.
He tried to move his aching fingers, his heart beating violently, and after not moving too much, a dense layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He tried to move his foot again, but there was still no movement.
He no longer hesitated, used his hands and feet together, followed the direction he had just entered, and quickly retreated outside the cave.
It wasn't until he approached the entrance of the cave that his hanging heart relaxed, as if he had walked through the ghost gate, and when he came to the entrance of the cave, he whispered, "It's me." ”
Several people were holding their breath in the dark, as if they were facing a great enemy, and suddenly they heard a familiar voice, and they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
One of the two people who went in at the same time was miserable, and the other was unharmed, no one thought it was strange, An Riyan's iron fan went directly to Cong Fei's neck, and his voice was cold, "Can you explain?" ”
Although Cong Yue was extremely dissatisfied with An Riyan's behavior, the scene in front of him also made him feel incredible, and he hesitated, "Brother, what's going on?" ”
Cong Fei briefly said what had happened, and Meishuang suddenly said, "Wait, you said it was a white light?" ”
Cong Fei nodded.
Meishuang said, "I see, Kato's eyesight is amazing, he must have suddenly discovered the anomaly in front of him, so he was plotted." ”
"However, then the torches went out, and I couldn't see anything," Cong Fei hung his head.
After being silent for a while, Meishuang said, "I know, it must be a torch." The temperature of the torch makes the air in the cave change, and the temperature rises, so the mechanism inside the guide zhì. ”
"What now?" Cong Yue asked.
"Shi Jieyu must know the way, now that she has run away, the four of us must think that we dare not go in again, and will find another way. Perhaps an ambush has been set up on other roads. We have to venture into the past. Mei Shuang said.
Several people pondered it for a while and agreed that after all, the most dangerous places are often the safest.
"It's dark inside, we can't see the road when we go in, and the torches can't be used, how can we do it?"
"Since hot light can't work, then cold light."
Several of them said goodbye to Kato and prayed for him to rest in peace before re-entering the cave.
In order not to add heat, they used only a night pearl.
Although the range illuminated by the Night Pearl is limited, it can still be found a few feet ahead.
The cave was dark and damp, and the water had accumulated through the cracks in the roof, creating puddles on the ground. Earlier, Kato's torch fell into a deep pit.
Along the way, I didn't find footprints or any signs of passing in the cave. It wasn't until I walked for a while that I vaguely saw an animal like a lion standing in the middle of the road in the shadows ahead.
It was a little far away, and I could only see a faint outline in the halo of the night pearl, motionless.
Mei Shuang looked at it for a while, and said softly, "This is a fox that is often used on the incense burner because it likes fireworks." ”
A few people approached to take a look, and sure enough, as Meishuang said, there was a lotus shape in front of him, a lotus flower held out on the lotus seat, and the lotus pod in the heart of the flower happened to be the lid of the incense burner, and the top of the cover was the lion-shaped sitting beast named "Fox" that I just saw.
It faces the crowd and has a majestic image.
"Legend has it that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the fox is its fifth son, and it is also said that it is the ninth son, which is said to have been introduced to the country from the direction of India."
Several people circled around the incense burner a few times, and An Riyan pointed to the fierce mouth and said, "This is the mechanism of Fang Cai." It seems that this incense beast is just to remind everyone that this is the land of fireworks. Anyone who wants to enter this cave will inevitably have to light a torch, so those who enter must have gone and never returned. If it weren't for Fang Cai Cong Fei sticking to the wall and escaping, I am afraid that he would have turned into a wisp of green smoke. ”
Thinking that Kato died under this beast, several people couldn't help but be gloomy.
Suddenly, An Riyan lit a fire fold into the mouth of the fox, and the fire fold shook at his mouth and then extinguished.
Several people didn't know why, they were all stunned, and they didn't have time to stop An Riyan, so they only heard the fierce mouth "Gada" and slowly opened.
The darkness suddenly shocked the other three people into white sweat.
Where the witness was, a blinding white light shot forward, only to hear a muffled grunt in the dark, and a fireball lit up and then extinguished.
The moment the fireball lit up and went out, everyone could see clearly, it was a human face.
"Oops! We're being tracked! ”
Only then did a few people have to admire An Riyan's quick decision and speed, and then ran forward.
The Night Pearl glowed dimly in the darkness, and the light fluttered up and down as everyone ran.
Running and running, Meishuang only felt that the night pearl in front of her seemed to be much darker, and suddenly when she slipped under her feet and looked up again, the light of the night pearl was gone.
Suddenly there was darkness in front of me, I'll go! Mei Shuang was suddenly a little scared in her heart.
The quality of this night pearl is too unreliable, is it also electricity-consuming, how long has it been without power?
Now that the light is gone, the person in front must also stop, "Cong Fei, why isn't the night pearl lit?" She asked softly.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and she cautiously whispered, "Cong Yue? ”
I'll go!
There was no answer.
Meishuang was a little frightened, and was in the dark, saying that she was not afraid that it was fake.
This is obviously a straight road, how can people say that there is no such thing?
She trembled and took out another Night Pearl from her body, only to hear a familiar voice in her ear, "Don't move." ”
She sighed and couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you squeak?" Scared the hell out of me! ”
An Riyan had been following Mei Shuang, and Fang Cai was also suspicious when he saw Cong Fei and Cong Yue running in front of him suddenly disappearing, only to hear Mei Shuang call the names of the two of them but not him, he was not angry in his heart, so he spoke up.
"You didn't call me, why should I agree?"
Hearing what An Riyan said, Mei Shuang was stunned, presumably Kato's death hit An Riyan quite hard, she sighed, "I didn't have time to call you, you appeared." ”
Although Meishuang's explanation was far-fetched, An Riyan recognized it, and finally ironed it in his heart.
"What about the two of them?"
"I don't know, it looks like a straight, but it's actually a visual error, we watched them run into the straight, where should they be diagonally?" ”
Raised the night pearl in his hand and looked around, it was really as An Riyan expected, this straight road looked straight, but it was actually a staggered layer that was getting higher and higher, obviously, the people outside didn't follow when the two people in front ran in.
Sure enough, after a while, the light that disappeared in front came back, Cong Fei and Cong Yue hurried over, and said in a low voice, "It's not good, there is also an ambush ahead." ”
Meishuang suddenly became nervous, thinking of the person who An Riyan decisively shot to death with a fox, she asked, "Could it be that Kato or we are in the middle of the scheme?" Did he see someone in there? ”
"Kato had signaled us to leave, but now it's too late to say anything." Cong Fei is obviously not calm.
