Chapter 296: Matters of the Heart
The group of monkeys closest to the explosion could be said to have been completely damaged, and in an instant, the scales and red blood were splashed and filled the entire dim abyss with the smoke of gunpowder.
There was the wreckage of a severed arm everywhere, and the black chains the thickness of an adult's thigh under my feet were completely broken by the blast.
Together with the group of monkeys that climbed up after them, they fell straight into the abyss, and the screams of the monkeys came and went.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that there was a blue-scaled monster monkey behind me with only half of its body left, and its face was hideous and climbed up along the broken iron cable.
Its dark green eyes shone with vengeance, and it swung its powerful arms around my thighs, trying to take me down the abyss with its own strength.
I panicked for a moment, I didn't expect this to happen, and I suddenly understood why the team above me looked at me with horror on their faces, as if they were reminding me of something.
I thought that this time I was in a catastrophe, and my numb palm could no longer support the additional weight, and began to gradually break free from the iron lock.
Unexpectedly, the fat man suddenly took out the rusty dagger I handed him at the beginning, and then shouted.
"Keep your head down!"
I hurriedly lowered my head in response, only to feel a cold light almost piercing my scalp, impartially piercing the forehead of the dying monkey.
But because his face was covered with green scales, the blow did not penetrate too deeply, and I was momentarily disgusted, and I raised my other foot and kicked the dagger again.
The sharp blade sank into the monkey's forehead, which made him completely breathless, and then his eyes fell into the abyss completely with resentment and ferocity.
For the rest of my life, I couldn't help but gasp for breath for the rest of my life, looking at the silent others, but I didn't dare to speak.
He just looked around vigilantly, for fear that there was still some danger lurking around.
"It's okay, we're safe."
The fat man couldn't help but gasp for breath, if the knife just now missed a little, it would hit my eyebrows.
Seeing the monkeys finally fall into the abyss, my heart that had been tense finally relaxed, and the chains swayed from side to side in the dim light in the aftermath of the explosion.
It shattered a large area of rock next to the steep wall, revealing a crack more than half a meter high in an instant, and this gap seemed to have something inside.
The cold wind was blowing outward, and the black rumbling didn't know where it was going.
Now it is a dilemma whether to continue climbing up the chain or burrow into the cracks in the wall that you suddenly discover.
Uncle Nine looked at the old map in his hand, and at this time, I finally understood what those dotted lines represented, and it turned out to be the chains in my arms.
Other than that, there are no other lines on the map, and everything else seems to be up to us.
Uncle Nine looked at me and the fat man with tired eyes, hoping that we could come up with an idea, I looked at the hollow crack in front of me and gritted my teeth and made up my mind to be the first to get in.
Either way, it's only the feeling of being down to earth that is safest.
If you continue to climb up the cable, you may not be as lucky as you are now if you lose your strength or encounter any other dangers.
Seeing that I had taken the lead in expressing his position, the fat man hurriedly pulled the rest of the team into the stone crevices one after another.
Unexpectedly, this stone crack seems to be narrow, but in fact, the space inside is much larger, and it is even covered with traces of craftsmanship.
But what I didn't expect was that when I stepped on the stone brick road for the first time, the green bricks under my feet sank slightly.
Suddenly, a dense barrage of arrows flew from both sides of the road, almost scratching my arm.
"There's a trap!"
I shouted loudly to remind everyone around me that at this time, the fat man, who was gradually losing his strength, had been hit by several arrows, and his face was pale with fright.
Uncle Nine dodged desperately, and even fell on the ground, until the arrow exposed on the wall suddenly stopped abruptly in the next second.
I turned to look at the fat man, but I didn't expect that he had already been hit by eight or nine arrows at this time, and his face was pale like a patient who had lost too much blood.
But not much blood remained from the wound.
He pulled one out for him with his hand, and he grinned in instant pain.
Unexpectedly, most of these dark crossbow mechanisms have corroded in the past thousand years, so the force emitted is not enough to shoot people.
The arrow only slightly pierced the fat man's skin and stopped abruptly, I patted the fat man on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You kid, don't pretend to be dead, if the dark crossbow mechanism was intact thousands of years ago, a few of us would be completely broken here today." ”
The fat man closed his eyes tightly, and only when he realized that he didn't have anything too uncomfortable except for some pain on his body, then he opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that the fat on my body saved my life at the critical moment, and I didn't lose weight."
"No weight loss."
His flat tone suddenly made Long Tsai and me laugh, and the atmosphere in the team finally began to be less oppressive.
It's just that the little white face is still unconscious by the dragon boy's back, and I faintly noticed that something was not quite right when the woman in yellow looked at the little white face, but I didn't ask too much about anything.
Until suddenly, a bright green bronze fell out of Uncle Jiu's arms, and I found at a glance that it was the Third World Mirror that Little White Face had been looking for on this trip.
When we found the corpse under the tree, we were held in the hands of the little white face, and the purpose of our trip was precisely for this strange and mysterious treasure mirror.
It's just that I don't know why it suddenly appeared in Uncle Nine's clothes.
Uncle Nine lowered his head and didn't dare to meet my gaze, then picked up the treasure mirror and put it in his arms and laughed.
"Mr. Jian has been in a coma, and I am afraid that the treasure mirror will be in any danger, so I will keep it for him first."
I looked at Uncle Jiu's somewhat concealed nervous expression, and for a while, I was a little unsure whether he was telling the truth or trying to swallow the treasure mirror.
It wasn't until he inadvertently looked at the woman in yellow that he found that she seemed to be very afraid of the ninth uncle in front of her.
I pretended not to care, picked up the treasure mirror and handed it to Uncle Jiu and spoke.
"You are the most respected person in the team, and of course the mirror should be kept by you, I have nothing to say."
I thought about it and thought about it when I left the team with the fat man, and the little white face was obviously in good physical condition, why did we fall into the pool and disappear.
The little white-faced snake venom attacked.
And coupled with the slight fear when the woman in yellow looked like Uncle Nine just now, I observed every bit of it.
I realized that things were by no means as simple as I imagined, but I couldn't suspect that Uncle Nine really had a problem out of thin air, so I had to quietly look at what kind of medicine this old guy was selling in his gourd.
As the team explored more and more, I couldn't help but mention the vigilance of the traps in the tomb, and even after I had just experienced the crossbow trap, I encountered the extremely terrifying quicksand trap.
Long Tsai and Uncle Nine walked at the end of the line and were almost buried alive by the sloping yellow sand, but it was me and the fat man who desperately dug the two out.
