Chen Fangyuan said and glanced at a chubby person beside him, it is estimated that this person is what he called Luo Lao Dao, this old Taoist priest was wearing a mask that was completely inconsistent with his huge face, squeezed over to me and said: "Xiao He, since ancient times, there are no gossip sixteen, as long as you let me see where they are standing, I can crack this formation." ”

"What if you can't crack it?" I asked.

"Hehe, didn't Lao Chen say just now, I have already set up the magic circle in advance, even if I can't crack the formation, my magic circle can protect us from retreating." Luo Laodao said with an oath.

I don't know anything about these Taoist things, and in the past, I didn't even believe in these things, but at this time, Luo Laodao and Chen Fangyuan both said that they had noses and eyes, and I was convinced.

"Okay, since you're prepared, let's not delay, let's go in and see what happens!" I got up and said, and walked towards the hole.

The size and height of the hole would have been easy to get through a person, but now we have a gun in our hands and a backpack behind us, so it's a little difficult, and I have to get in with the help of others.

The moment I came in through the hole, I immediately felt that this place was evil, it was not a very ethereal feeling, but I could really feel that this place was for killing, and I could feel a bloody breath drilling into my nose even through the mask.

The hall was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, and the only light was the headlamp above my head and the faint light from the hole behind me, and some shadows appeared at the end of these two lights, which added a touch of eerie color.

It didn't take long for the people behind me to come in one by one, and the hall suddenly lit up with so many people's headlamps shining together.

I looked around a little and found that the situation here was similar to what Chen Fangyuan described, but there was one thing he missed, that is, the octagonal ground under our feet was engraved with gossip talismans, and the strange thing was that these talismans were all dry positions, that is, all the talismans were a whole section, and there was no break in the middle.

Since I didn't know much about it, I didn't ask much.

Chen Fangyuan walked up to me, pointed to the front, and said, "See, it's the sixteen statues." ”

In fact, I didn't need Chen Fangyuan to remind me to notice that although this hall was not as big as I imagined, there was nothing in all directions, only the sixteen statues stood there, which was very eye-catching, and it was difficult not to pay attention.

"We don't know where the trigger is, we just know that if we walk a meter or two further from here, they'll come back to life." Chen Fangyuan whispered in my ear.

"What about Luo Lao Dao's array? Why didn't I see it? I didn't respond to Chen Fangyuan's words, but asked rhetorically.

Chen Fangyuan pointed to the ground not far in front of me and said, "There, there, these talismans are brought to the designated location by us with Mr. Bi's Gu, once we fail to succeed, Luo Lao Dao will urge the magic circle so that we can retreat with our whole body, so you just have to rest assured." ”

I took a closer look, and sure enough, I saw some rune paper on the ground, and all kinds of dead bugs were pasted on the rune paper.

I crouched down and threw the half of the brick I had brought from the hole in front of me, and the brick made a muffled "thud" that startled everyone, and they subconsciously took a step back and looked at me in unison.

Although I couldn't see their expressions clearly through the mask, I also knew that they were all gnashing their teeth, and the bricks were brought by me on a temporary basis, and they didn't know that when they heard a sound, everyone would be scared enough.

I didn't bother to pay attention to them, I threw the bricks on purpose, to try the mechanism, and to keep them focused. Now the statues are silent, and all fifteen of them are looking at me, and I have achieved both purposes.

I stood up, pulled the people assigned to me aside, and then said to the remaining six Chen Fangyuan: "You move quickly, remember, don't shoot unless you have to, especially don't shoot at people." ”

Chen Fangyuan nodded solemnly.

After telling Chen Fangyuan, I took the others and walked forward slowly.

I told everyone to leave the cave and disperse, stick to the wall, and as soon as I noticed any movement of the statue, I immediately retreated, trying to find the point where the statue was moving and not moving.

A man surnamed Zhu and I each took the lead, leaning against the wall and scattering on both sides, at first it was calm, I held my breath, thinking in my mind that I would move towards the center of the hall when each of us stood on one side of the octagon.

But just as I got to the first corner, I heard a heavy metal grinding sound, and I subconsciously crouched down, and then raised my fist upwards, a stop gesture on the march, and I don't know if these people could read it.

However, because the hall was very quiet, and we people didn't dare to make a sound easily, any slight sound would be amplified many times by this space, and everyone invariably stopped all movements after hearing this sound, and all of us stared with bated breath in the direction of the sound.

Not long after the first sound, I heard the grinding sound of sixteen statues here and there, and it was not necessary to guess that they were "alive".

I thought that we had triggered the mechanism, so I hurriedly gestured to the person surnamed Zhu on the other side and asked him to go back, and after gesticulating, I also beckoned the people on this side to retreat, thinking that after returning to the back of the "mechanism", these statues would "die" again.

However, I guessed wrong, and the two of us retreated to the previous hole, and the friction did not stop, but grew louder and louder, and I even saw a few shadows that had begun to move around in a flickering manner.

When I realized that it was useless to retreat, I quickly shouted at the crowd: "Go around and lead them to the other side!" With that, I leaned against the wall and ran towards the front again.

I thought the sound of us running would draw the statues in, but when I ran over the two walls, I found that the statues were not moved at all, they were like robots, and when they came to life, they started to move in different directions, as if someone had set a trajectory for them in advance.

I looked at this change and thought to myself, although I couldn't figure out their intentions, at least they were still scattered, so the threat to us was not too great, it was just a big deal for us to concentrate our firepower on the statues close to Chen Fangyuan's side.

But before I could relax my mind, Chen Fangyuan shouted loudly: "He boy, you can't let them go to the formation point, stop them quickly!" ”

Chen Fangyuan shouted in a hurry, looking at his appearance, after these statues came to the formation point, it seemed that something terrible would happen, I didn't have time to think about it, so I raised my gun and fired a shot at one of the statues.

There was a loud bang, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the sound of the shot was deafening in this underground hall, but compared to the loud noise, the effect of this shot was really limited, and I saw that the statue only deflected and continued to move in his trajectory, without even looking back.
