Chapter Eighty-Seven: Huajiao

I reached out and tried to pick it up, but the statue was stuck to the ground as if it was enchanted, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pick it up from the ground.

I let out a "huh" and subconsciously retracted my hand. At this moment, the statue shook suddenly, and then, to my surprise, it began to fall into ashes!

Won't it ...... I was stunned for a moment.

Sure enough, after a while, the statue came to life. It was originally gray all over, but after a period of "gray falling", it has become a real Jiao with white scales!

After this strange resurrection, there was no movement. It just shook its head on the ground, as if observing something.

Soon, however, it began to crawl forward, and it was only when it reached the wall that it began to reach out its claws and tug at something on the wall.

In less than a moment, it had pulled out a fist-sized hole in the wall with its claws.

After breaking through this wall, the Jiao slipped into it and disappeared into the hole in the wall.

Only then did I dare to lean over, lie on the ground and squint one eye, observing the situation in the cave with one eye.

Through the hole, I could see what seemed to be a huge object lying on the ground behind the wall, whether it was a statue or something. And the Jiao was slowly crawling towards the thing.

I wanted to see more clearly, so I put my whole eye on the hole.

However, a scorching stream of air erupted from the cave, and I couldn't dodge, so I could only close my eyes violently.

But I was still a step slower, and I realized that it was not an ordinary current, but that there seemed to be some kind of corrosive gas mixed in with it.

The corrosive gas was so powerful that it corroded my left eye. For a moment, my left eye was no longer visible.

It happened so fast that I couldn't imagine that in such a short period of time, I lost an eye.

I panicked at the fear and anxiety of being blind, and I kept touching my left eye in place.

The more I touched it, the more I felt a stinging sensation, and there was a lot of blood on my hands.

It was the bright red that pulled me back from my panic.

I gradually calmed down and realized that no matter how much I tossed around, it would be impossible for my lost eyes to be restored. It's better to find your way out quickly, join up with the others as soon as possible, and escape here together!

Yes, flee, I have now begun to retreat. It was the first time I felt like I wasn't good enough to stay in this kind of place, and now I only think about one thing, and that's getting out!

The anger and unhappiness that had been pent up for a long time were released at this moment.

I slammed my fist into the wall, and there was a muffled thud as it slammed into the wall. I felt uncomfortable and threw a few more punches.

Unexpectedly, a low roar suddenly came from behind the wall......

I was so frightened that I froze in place, forgetting for a moment what I was going to do.

Soon, another low roar came. I recognized it as a beast-like roar.

I thought of the big guy lying on the ground that I saw in the cave before.

Could it be that some kind of large beast is still being held here?

At this time, the thing behind the wall roared a few more times, and it felt like it was about to escape.

I couldn't hold it back, so I quickly lay on the ground again, looking behind the wall through the hole.

This time I didn't stick to the hole, and naturally, the heat and corrosive gases didn't hit my right eye. I was able to see behind the wall.

I saw that the big thing that had been lying on the ground was standing up at this time.

However, it appears to be chained to its body, causing it to be restricted from moving. Maybe that's why the thing keeps roaring.

At this moment, a small black shadow suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and the black shadow directly blocked the entrance of the cave.

I looked closely, only to realize that it was the Jiao that suddenly came to life before.

It actually crawled back from the other side of the hole......

I watched in amazement as it crawled back and crawled to my feet, where the shattered shards of the bronze mirror began to curl up.

Soon, it reverted back to its previous statue.

I picked up the statue and noticed that something seemed to be hanging from beneath it.

It was a small brass ring, the size of a ring. It is connected to the statue by a small iron chain.

I hooked the tab and pulled hard. Unexpectedly, the Jiao statue did not react, but pulled the copper ring down.

"It's not strong......," I muttered, and was about to throw the brass ring away, when the other wall suddenly began to shake.

I let out a "huh" and suddenly noticed a square hole in the wall.

The hole seems to be ...... I looked down at the brass ring in my hand.

Without hesitation, I walked over and pressed the brass ring into the hole in the wall.

When the brass ring was put in, the wall began to flip up.

I was overjoyed, and for the first time I felt that Jiao was not as terrible as I imagined, at least, it had given me the key in my desperate situation......

I waited silently for the wall to flip out of the exit.

Suddenly—

"Wang Hao. Are you here? A voice of surprise rang out from behind the wall.

I looked up and saw Venster standing behind the wall looking at me in surprise.

"Venster?!" I couldn't believe my eyes, "Why are you behind this wall?"

"I groped my way over, and when I heard the movement, I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect it. By the way, you see—" Venster paused for a moment, then exclaimed, "what's the matter with your eyes?" And the half of your face! ”

"It's okay...... I guess it's scrapped, and I've just been recruited. I said, deliberately looking down away from Venster's gaze.

"I've got some bandages here, can I help you bandage them? I saw that there were still some ...... "Venster" and shut up.

I shook my head and declined Venster's offer.

"By the way, where did the others go? Did someone stun us and send us here? By the way, I found something. Venster said, digging into his pocket.

Venster took out a purple kyanite glass box: "This is it, found in the secret room where I woke up." ”

"Won't it?" I can't believe it, can you find the kyanite glass box here casually? Another one was found so soon.

But then I remembered that the purple kyanite glass box had disappeared in Egypt, unless the box itself had the ability to move, otherwise there was only one explanation - someone found it and brought it over.

And the person who can bring the box over is likely to be the person behind the garbled code, the trader who has been operating the overall situation!

"When you woke up, did you notice anything unusual, for example, was there anyone talking near you? Is there anything out of the ordinary near you?" I asked again and again.

"Yes, this ...... A statue was placed on a stone platform like a kyanite glass box. Venster pulled out another thing.

At first glance, it looked like a statue in my hand, but on closer inspection, there was something more on the head of this statue.

It was something that looked a lot like some kind of trinket, but neither Vennor nor I knew what it was. Naturally, we didn't recognize what it was.

I showed Venster the statue I had found, and he recognized it as a dragon at a glance.

Then we struggled with what to do next.

According to Venster, he had already checked over there, and there was no door open, and if there were, he might need to open some mechanism, but he didn't find the so-called mechanism anyway.

On the other hand, he found that this was a completely different road from the one we had been in the lower part of the mountain, and Venster thought that we had probably been moved somewhere else.

I don't think so......

Then we fell into silence......

Suddenly, the brief silence was broken by the ringing of the telephone......

I turned my head to see that the phone was ringing from the wreckage of the wooden table.

Needless to say, no need to think about it, I know who called.

Although we didn't want to answer, the phone kept ringing.

Eventually, Venster couldn't take it anymore and ran over and pulled out the telephone and picked it up.

"Hello?" Venster said impatiently.

Venster pressed the speakerphone, and its voice immediately sounded in the dark room: "Venster, it seems that you have found Wang Hao, have you brought him what I left for you?" This is my gift to you. ”

"What the hell are you going to do?" I answered, "Why did you let me look for it when you know where the box is?"

"There are many reasons for this, and I can't say it, so you have to do it. By the way, your eyes, I'm sorry for that......"

I was amazed that it had learned so quickly about my eye injury. I'm starting to wonder if there's any listening device here.

"However, you don't have to worry, in the remaining two kyanite glass boxes, the power of one of the boxes will heal your eyes. By the way, I warn you that you know what's next door, and I'd suggest you find these boxes before they break free......"

With a "beep" sound, the phone was hung up......

Venster put down the phone, walked back, and asked me, "What do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas......" I muttered, "if anything, I want to know two things now, one is what is next door, and the other is how this man can always know what we are doing?"

"Maybe he borrowed the power of the box, who knows, but what is it talking about next door? Anyway, when I first came in, I heard a low roar coming from next door, what was that?"

"Some kind of beast, I didn't see clearly, it's dark next door."

"Why don't you blow it up and take a look? I still have a bundle of explosives here. Venster pulled out a bundle of explosives from his bag and shook it a few times.

"No, there's a strong corrosive gas there, and my eyes are so ......," I shook my head......
