Under the Black Mist Chapter 175 Thanksgiving (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
An orange bonfire illuminates this gloomy space. It was a hall, a very spacious hall, with rough stone pillars supporting the dome. On the pillars, carved very abstract things, can only be vaguely distinguished, it is some kind of beast.
As for the dome, most of it is submerged in shadows, and the part that appears in the firelight is the faded frescoes.
The floor of the hall was uneven, and the undulating masonry created gaps, allowing the tenacious grass to survive among the hard masonry.
Ding Ding Ding Ding –
Sparks splashed on a pillar, and Ye Zhong brandished his scimitar, not knowing how many times he slashed at this pillar.
Strangely, the stone pillar was unusually hard, and the crescent-like scimitar could only cut white stone marks on the pillar's surface, but it never cut the pillar.
Of course, Ye Zhong did not use the star essence, which was the direct reason why the pillar was preserved.
In another corner of the hall, right next to the campfire, the mysterious man in black who had attacked Han Shu and Fei Fu sat on the ground with his back against the stone pillar.
At hand, a black war knife rested on the ground.
The sword has no sheath, and the blue zigzag lines on it light up from time to time, as if there is energy flowing quietly in the blade.
The black-haired and black-eyed young man glanced at Ye Chong: "Can't you rest?" You know, what you're doing now doesn't gain anything at all except for wasting your physical strength. ”
Ye Zhong stopped, and the scimitar was on his shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense, you guy of unknown origin." Although the captain asked you to act together, you have no right to interfere with my freedom. ”
The black-eyed youth spread his hands: "If your freedom doesn't affect the mission, I don't care. ”
Ye Chong snorted coldly: "The next task will not fail no matter what, unless you make a mistake." ”
The dark-eyed man's tone was flat: "I won't make mistakes, never, don't compare me to you." ”
Ye Chong's purple pupils suddenly rose with a trace of murderous aura: "Liu Xing, what do you mean?" ”
The young man known as Liu Xing raised his hand and tapped his cheek.
Ye Chong's long hair suddenly floated up without wind, and there was a gurgling sound in the palm of the hand holding the scimitar: "That white hair is just luck, I will never be injured again, don't believe it, let's see!" ”
There was also a faint scar on the cheek of the long-haired purple-eyed demonic man, which was injured by Tianyang's predator yesterday.
Now that he was pointed out by Liu Xing, Ye Chong was angry, and he couldn't wait to cut Tianyang into ten and eight sections now.
But no.
They were now in one of the buildings in the Settlement Zone of the Thousand Eyes Cave, and although the ground was shining brightly, the light was dim.
If it weren't for the absence of black fog and the light of the sky cast from above, it would be almost no different from the Adverse Realm.
After yesterday's attack on the Raven Squad, the two received orders to evacuate. Make your way to the Thousand Eyes Cave and stay here for the time being to carry out your next plan.
"The only thing I'm worried about right now is will those guys find this here?" Liu Xing picked up his war knife and wiped it carefully.
Ye Zhong sat down, put the scimitar in his hand, took out a tin bottle and drank it: "You can rest assured of this, we have already checked." The one surnamed Han has the same leg as the leader of the flying squirrel, and the flying squirrel suffered such a big loss yesterday, it must have hated us to death. ”
"I bet that woman named Flying Flotsam must have gone crazy and searched for our whereabouts. The traces we deliberately left behind are enough for them to make the right judgment. So, the bastards of Optimus Castle will definitely come to you. ”
Putting down the tin bottle, Ye Zhong wiped the wine and shook it: "Do you want to take a sip." ”
"I don't drink." Liu Xing replied calmly.
"It's boring."
Ye Zhong wrenched his hands and counted: "You don't drink, don't smoke, don't play with women, and you raise a hamster." You say you're living like the churchgoers, no, the churchgoers are better than you. Your life is too boring, isn't it? ”
Liu Xing said indifferently: "I just want to figure out how I came here and how I want to go back." ”
Ye Zhong shook his head: "The doctor said that you have a brain disease, and you may not be able to remember the past in this life, do you still want to investigate?" ”
Liu Xing looked up at him: "Life is incomplete without the past. ”
Ye Zhong sneered: "If it were me, it would be a gift from God to be able to forget the past, you guy is in the midst of blessings and don't know the blessings." ”
The two did not talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, and simply stopped communicating.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Xing suddenly snorted: "What a smell." ”
"What a taste." Ye Zhong was already lying on the ground, "Why can't I smell anything, oh, Lao Tzu is already numb." This hellish place smells of mold everywhere. ”
"No... Not musty. ”
Liu Xing suddenly stood up, with the knife in his hand: "I'll go out and have a look." ”
Ye Zhong turned over: "Whatever you want, don't quarrel with me if you have nothing to do." ”
Pulling up the collar of the black military uniform, Liu Xing strode out, and when he came outside, he sniffed carefully, and indeed a strange smell came from the end of his nose.
His nose has always been very smart, and he can distinguish subtle tastes, even if they are far away, Liu Xing can smell them.
This has saved him many times.
On several occasions, he smelled the stench of the dark people in advance in the Adverse Realm, so that he was able to dodge the attack, and even be able to ambush and kill him.
Now, he smelled something strange again, a smell that didn't exist before today.
Liu Xing suddenly became suspicious, used his nose to identify the source of the smell, and then touched it, wanting to explore the space.
He burrowed into a tunnel that had been dug by some evil creature, and it was crooked. Fortunately, it is spacious enough to barely walk with a bent waist.
Before he finished walking the tunnel, suddenly, in the pillar of light shot by the lighting equipment on Liu Xing's body, gray-white smoke billowed in. When he got closer, Liu Xing accidentally inhaled, choking his tears and wanting to flow out.
His expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated to his place, just about to inform Ye Chong. It was found that in other nearby tunnels, billowing white smoke was constantly pouring out, and they spread extremely fast, as if the air in the Thousand Eyes Cave was their transmission medium.
But in the blink of an eye, Liu Xing's eyes were already white. At this time, Ye Zhong in the hall finally noticed that something was wrong.
The purple-eyed man came out to take a look, and couldn't help but shout: "What's going on.... Ahem. ”
Before he could finish a sentence, he had already choked on the smoke.
Liu Xing held his breath, pulled up his collar to block his mouth and nose, and dragged Ye Zhong to drill into the pit where there was no smoke. However, before they could go deeper, those suspicious thick smoke poured in from the pit ahead.
In this subsidence area, there are many tunnels. Some are interconnected, some are completely dead-end, almost like a giant underground labyrinth.
God knows exactly where the source of these smoke is, but judging by the speed at which they spread, it won't be long before the entire Thousand Eyes Cave will be occupied by smoke.
What's worse is that the smoke tastes so spicy that you will cough and cry when you smell it.
Even if Liu Xing and the two are sublimators, they are helpless against such things.
Moreover, Liu Xing is worried that the smoke is poisonous. Although he could hold his breath, he could not close the pores of his body. Once the smoke is toxic, the toxins will penetrate into the body through the pores.
At that time, not to mention the failure of Black Star Castle's plan, he and Ye Zhong would have to pay for their lives!
At this time, Liu Xing's sensitive sense of smell came into play again.
In this kind of environment full of smoke, he can still tell where the smell is lighter.
Although the price was coughing non-stop, and his vision was already blurred by tears, Liu Xing still pulled up the leaf weight and drilled towards the place where the taste was weaker.
Like gophers, the two of them are forced by the smoke to escape in the labyrinth-like settlement area...
At this time, the entire Thousand Eyes Cave was looking from a high place, and smoke was coming out everywhere. Thick smoke billowed from the millennia-old ruins, and only to the northeast was the smoke noticeably thin.
This is where the Raven Squad lies in ambush.
Hiding behind a broken wall, Tianyang took out a kettle and took a sip of water, then put it at his feet.
Cang Du nearby held his mechanical heavy sword and looked behind the wall: "Why hasn't anyone come out yet, it can't be that the flying squirrel's information is wrong, right?" ”
Han Shu's voice sounded in the communicator: "Don't worry, those people in Wind Breath Valley can't do anything else, and they still have a good hand at finding people." But I didn't expect that Tianyang, this kid has a very good brain, and he came up with such a wild method. ”
It turned out that on the way here, Tianyang proposed to use smoke to force out the enemy hiding in the Thousand Eyes Cave.
However, what Tianyang thought of was to collect flammable materials such as dry firewood and dead wood, and burn it for three days and three nights.
But Ji Yu had a better way, she used some materials on hand to synthesize some chemical fumes.
As a result, there is now a scene of smoke emitting from the entire Thousand Eyes Cave.
"Captain, there's movement!"
Yan Bing's voice followed: "The radar shows that two life signals are approaching your direction at high speed. ”
Han Shu laughed: "The rats have finally come out." ”
Tianyang frowned: "Only two? ”
Han Shu said in a deep voice: "No matter, catch them first." Yan Bing, see the opportunity, give them a few cannons first, and take it as a 'thank you gift' for their care before! ”
"Yes!"
A moment later, two blue astral cannonballs slid over Tianyang's head and landed at the exit of a cave in the distance.
With a thunderous explosion, the cavern lit up with a large blue glow. Immediately, the light turned into a blazing blue flame, although it was daytime, it was still dazzling!
The two figures in the flames fell out in an unnatural posture, it was Liu Xing and Ye Chong, who finally escaped from the Thousand Eyes Cave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out, they collided with the Xingsu bomb, and the two of them reacted quickly and jumped away from the heart of the explosion as soon as possible, so they were not directly blown into pieces.
Even so, the two of them were still dizzy from the impact of the explosion and the subsequent release of flames, and the clothes on their bodies turned into strips of cloth, and their image was not much better than that of the homeless man.
