Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Stone Gate
The boundless sea of insects swept in from the west, covering almost the entire forest, and although the millipedes were slow, the carpet number made Tang Wuji and the others busy with their lives. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf you don't put your mind into a siege, I'm afraid that the top players will also fall here.
Of course, it's still easy to get out if you have a teleportation scroll, but the teleportation scroll is worth 10,000 gold, and it's still priceless. Even an ordinary single random teleportation scroll costs more than 5,000 gold coins, and the novices present obviously don't have such a precious thing. So now there is no other way but to run.
As time passed, due to Tang Wuji's agility, he was only 1 point, barely a little faster than the slow millipede, but it was 108,000 miles different from Daini's speed. Therefore, all at once it was pulled away.
Dani first spotted Tang Wuji, who was slow behind her, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Tang Wuji didn't follow, we can't leave him, just wait for him." ā
Siegel was naturally the first to object: "Dani, why do you care about that rookie who knows how to brag, he is embarrassed to say that he killed 1,000 people at such a slow pace." And now that we are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, it is difficult to protect ourselves, so why worry about him? ā
After some previous conversations, it is estimated that in addition to Dani, the others in the team have long been disgusted with Tang Wuji.
Therefore, Diya also agreed: "If we slow down, we are afraid that we will be drowned by the sea of worms, and if we let the swordsman carry him, it is obviously unrealistic, and if we drop half the speed, we will obviously die in the worm mouth." But don't worry, won't the worm be able to catch up with him for a while? Let's go ahead and find a good hiding place, and it's a big deal to give him a chance to survive. ā
The minority obeys the majority, and Dani can only sigh helplessly, although she is indeed kind-hearted and has a sense of justice, but it is not to save one person and affect the whole team. Therefore, one can only pray that Tang Wuji will not be swallowed up by the sea of worms before he finds a hiding place.
After running for more than an hour, Dani and the others could no longer see Tang Wuji behind them at all, and they came to a towering mountain. Luckily, there is a 20-meter-high stone gate on the smooth stone wall of the mountain, and mysterious runes are carved around the stone gate.
But it is a pity that the stone gate is closed, leaving no gap, the stone gate weighs 10,000 tons, and it is impossible to push it by manpower. The first reaction of Dani and the others was naturally that there must be a mechanism to open next to the door.
So the four of them split up and began to look for the mechanism, the reason why they chose to find the mechanism instead of continuing to run is naturally because entering the stone gate is their only way to survive, if they don't enter it, even if they run wildly all night, they will not be able to run out of the forest, and they will be tired. Once you are tired and can't run, you can only bury yourself in the insect mouth.
The four of them searched for about 15 minutes, and finally Dani threw a monster hedron into the groove in the center of the giant gate to successfully activate the stone gate, and in the loud roar, the stone door that had been closed for I don't know how many years finally slowly opened. The stone gate revealed the smell of decay.
At the same time, Tang Wuji finally caught up with Dinny's footsteps, but 100 meters behind him, there was a huge army of millipedes, and if a person with dense phobia saw it, his scalp would be numb.
The four of Dani did not hesitate, and as soon as the stone door opened, they immediately rushed into it. Unlike the hidden door opening mechanism, the door closing mechanism is extremely conspicuous, except for a half-human-high handle standing next to the door. And the word "off" is also written in common characters. Pure fool-proof operation, simple and easy to understand.
As soon as the four of them entered it, Siegel was about to close the giant gate, but was pulled by Daini: "Siegel, let's wait for Mr. Tang Wuer, he is in front, and he will arrive soon." ā
Of course, Siegel saw Tang Wuji who was less than a kilometer away, but he didn't want to save Tang Wuji. For him, Tang Wuer is a person who must be eliminated, so why not do it without having to do it himself now.
Therefore, Siegel retorted on the spot: "Daini, you see that he is a monster less than a hundred meters behind him, and it will be too late to close it when he comes in." We must close the gate first. ā
The honest and taciturn Abel also said this time: "We don't know how long it will take for the stone gate to close completely, so please don't joke with our lives." ā
"Don't say that about Denny, Deni is just too kind." Seeing this, Diya, who was a good friend, defended Daini a little, but after a while, she said: "Daini, let's close the giant gate first, as Abel said, if the stone gate closes too slowly, not only will he die, but we will all die." ā
Siegel grinned and was about to close the stone door. But this time Dini didn't speak, but lowered her head, her hand clutching Siegel's arm and never letting go. Obviously, this princess, who doesn't know how to reject others, resists the three of them in her own way.
Compared to being complained by Dani for a while, Siegel naturally knew the weight, resolutely broke Dani's hand, and stood in front of the handle of the closed door without hesitation, watching Tang Wuji cruelly pull down the handle while smiling.
Although he was a kilometer away and couldn't hear the words clearly, Tang Wuji saw everything, including Dani's stop and Siegel's behavior.
How could Tang Wuer not understand that Siegel was completely trying to put himself to death, but agility was a hard injury. Rao has gone through a layer of tempering, and Tang Wuji, who has matured his mind, can't help but be angry.
Whoever has the only glimmer of life will be furious if his life is cut off, not to mention that the other party is deliberate, this is no less than the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife. Maybe this stone gate was the only chance to live, and even Tang Wuji wouldn't dare to fight the millipedes that covered almost the entire forest.
As Siegel pulled down the handle, the stone door began to close slowly, not very quickly. However, if nothing else, it is expected that Tang Wuji will run in front of the stone gate and it will be completely closed.
"I'm sorry..."
Looking at the slowly closing stone door, Dani instantly fell to the ground, tears streaming down her eyes. Watching her life-saving benefactor die in front of her is a little too cruel for her who is kind-hearted and insists on justice. Dani even had a premonition that she would spend her life in remorse.
On the contrary, Siegel showed a smug smile, what is the use of having power in the Chaos Kingdom, monsters don't recognize the forces behind you.
Regarding Tang Wuji's death, Diya and Abel did not feel anything. It's not so much that the heart is like an iron stone, but that the edges and corners have been smoothed out by the Taixu God Domain. In Diya's eyes, Dani is more like a little girl who still retains her innocence and distress.
Diya gently picked up Dani on the ground and said: "Dani, you don't have any psychological burden, all this is only to blame for his low strength, after all, the Void God Domain is a world of the weak and the strong, and dying in the hands of monsters can be regarded as the fate of adventurers." ā
Dani didn't speak, but threw herself into Dya's arms and wept.
The stone gate was only more than 1 meter away, and when Siegel saw that the overall situation had been decided, he said: "Let's go, let's go find the way, since there is a door to enter, there must be an exit." If not, you can only wait until dawn to open the door. ā
"Click~"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sore voice came from the door. As if hindered by something, the stone gate, which had been slowly closing, was actually stuck in the remaining 1 meter distance. The dust on the top of the stone gate kept falling, and no matter how hard the stone gate weighing 10,000 tons, it could no longer be closed for a minute.
The four of them looked at the door in horror, and even Dani stopped crying. I saw a jasper sword hilt in the center of the stone gate, shining in the moonlight. There was a faint flash of light on the transparent sword body, and the aura of justice emanated from the body.
