Chapter Ninety-Three: Two Corridors
I searched the secret room thoroughly, and I really couldn't figure out how it bound the powerful king worm. Since the death of the king worm, the invisible corrosive black worms in the "White Bone Corridor" have all disappeared, and it seems that that is the ability of the king worm. So, it gradually weakened, has been at least a hundred years.
And I, just in time for the last time before it faded.
I found nothing else, so I went back the way I came, but as soon as I descended into the stone chamber by the mechanism, I heard a sound of someone crawling out of the stone chamber, and now under the crack in the door, showing one foot, still kicking backwards, probably frightened by the sound of the machine, ready to escape.
Before I could fully land, I jumped off the fence, rushed to the stone gate, and grabbed the ankle! It was a woman's ankle.
"Huh?! Yes! No, don't! She screamed desperately, but I dragged her out.
The woman looked back in horror, and her fear immediately turned into shock again, "Uncle...... Uncle? You, you, you're not dead, are you? No, it's really not dead, is it? ”
Sure enough, it was Yao Qianwen.
She seems to be the only one who can be scared to escape when she enters here.
"It's useless to change your tune. You seem to want me dead? I pulled her up from the ground.
"No, no, it's not!"
"Gasp for breath and speak well. Why are you here, didn't I ask you to find Zuo Yuan? "At first, she asked her to find Zuo Yuan, on the one hand, she didn't know if she could hold it. Yao Qianwen is alone, the probability of surviving here is too low, together with Zuo Yuan, although the other party is not a good person, but there are many people, Yao Qianwen's death probability will also drop somewhat.
Yao Qianwen shrugged her shoulders and smiled awkwardly at me: "I found it, and I found it, but ...... They seem to be in trouble right now. ”
"What's going on?" I asked.
Yao Qianwen began to tell me what had happened to her after she left me.
She said that she returned the same way after leaving, and wanted to run away directly, but she didn't expect that in the escape, she encountered those fragmented mirrors again, and in the labyrinth-like space, she had no choice but to meet Zuo Yuan. So, Yao Qianwen told Zuo Yuan what happened according to my meaning, and Zuo Yuan probably knew that Yao Qianwen had a lying element in it, but he still brought someone here.
Perhaps to see if the owner of the footprint would appear in this position.
But when I came here, I found nothing, but found a sinking quicksand. Then, there was the egg locus of the demon locust, and Zuo Yuan gradually discovered some traces left by me and pursued them all the way. In Yao Qianwen's narration, Gu Ding was also mentioned. Speaking of which, I interrupted, "How much time did it take?" ”
"Huh? Uncle, what are you talking about? Yao Qianwen looked at me confusedly.
"I said, how much time did it take you from the time you found him to the time he started looking for me."
Because I spent a lot of time in the Gu Ding, if they also passed through the Worm Ding, they wouldn't have heard the sounds that Mina and I made in the Ding, and I would probably have found them too. But all the while, there was only us.
"It's fast, Zuo Yuan won't let it be touched, that won't be touched, it's really not any trouble......" Halfway through speaking, Yao Qianwen suddenly thought of something, and changed her words and said: "Oh no, that area of the fragmented mirror, it took Zuo Yuan a long time to get out, and it was quite time-consuming there." ”
"How long?"
"I can't remember, it's been a long time, right? I don't have a watch. ”
Half a day, that's almost five to six hours, so long? It surprised me. It's not that I suspect that Yao Qianwen is lying, and I don't think there's a problem with this time difference. It was the trap set by Mina, who was surprised that he was able to trap Zuo Yuan for so long.
"Interesting...... "I kept it in my heart.
"What?" Yao Qianwen's curious face.
"Go on with yours, and what about after that?"
"And then ...... It's a big problem! ”
"What's the trouble?" I asked.
"They found the church's legendary place of death, what is it...... Hmm, the 'Corridor of Bones'? Yes, it's the name, it's weird, it's said that a group of people will die in a daze when they go in, and in the end they will be left with a pile of white bones. I feel weird when I hear it, uncle, do those people go in naked? ”
"'Corridor of Bones'?"
"You also think it's strange, how can there be only white bones......"
"I'm not talking about that. I mean, you found the 'Corridor of Bones'? ”
Yao Qianwen looked at me curiously: "Have you heard of it too?" ”
I didn't have time to explain to her, I just asked her where the so-called "corridor" was found. And Yao Qianwen told me that not long after leaving Gu Ding, after passing through several tunnels, the road of death appeared. Zuo Yuan sent a few men in, and sure enough, as the legend said, after entering, the man quickly became in a daze as if he had lost his soul, found a place, sat down, and looked at the people outside the tunnel with an expressionless face.
"Zuo Yuan is also dead-eyed, if one doesn't work, let people go in, one after another, even his two diehard fans won't let go......" Speaking of this, Yao Qianwen suddenly smiled slyly, "Fortunately, I am smart and have a low sense of existence, so I sneaked away while they were not paying attention!" I remember exactly how I got there, so I went back the way I came. ”
I didn't expect that there were two "white bone corridors" in this dungeon, and obviously, this second corridor was more in line with Mina's narrative.
Could it be that I have made a mistake?
No, the road was given by Mina, unless the information she got in the first place was wrong.
So, which one is she looking for? And what will exist behind the "corridor" that Zuo Yuan and they are in now?
"Wait, do you mean ......" It occurred to me that this corridor didn't seem to be the first repetition of the Dark Covenant dungeon.
And the King Worm and the Witch Master!
If you say, the "White Bone Corridor" I went to before corresponds to twenty-one king worms.
So, is the one Zuo Yuan found the lair of the monster suspected of being a witch master?
If so, would Mina be hiding there?
The monster is erratic, and maybe now is an opportunity.
Thinking of this, I pulled Yao Qianwen up, "Go!" ”
"Huh? Why go? She looked confused.
"Take me to that 'hallway'!"
"Isn't it, uncle, you're going to be in a daze too? Now Zuo Yuan Bacheng himself has also gone in, Sister Lan, he is carrying it, and it is estimated that he is also packed together, and you don't want to unravel your insect venom, now that you and I have no trouble, what are we going to do? ”
"Do me a favor, the last one, take me there......" Speaking of this, I suddenly hesitated, the monster that was suspected to be a witch master, although its whereabouts were uncertain, but it was always wandering in the dungeon. Although Yao Qianwen knew how to avoid the dangerous areas in the dungeon, she couldn't predict where that thing would appear.
So I flattened the sand in front of me and pulled Yao Qianwen to sit down, "You don't need to lead the way, you just need to draw the route to the 'White Bone Corridor' for me after passing through Gu Ding." ”
"You...... Uncle, are you really going? Yao Qianwen's eyes hesitated.
"Can't remember?" I asked.
"No......" She held out her finger, hesitated for a moment, looked up at me, and suddenly asked, "Is it worth it?" ”
I'll just say, this girl isn't really stupid. She saw my attachment to me more clearly than I imagined. I smiled and pointed my finger at the sand, "Let's draw, if we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I will tell you if it's worth it." ”
She sighed, but also began to draw the route, but halfway through the drawing, the question came again, "Did you risk your death all to see Mina?" ”
"Not exactly."
"And what other reason is there?"
"Du Youlan must also be taken out, and I promised that those villagers would be restored."
"You're good at keeping your promises?"
"Not necessarily, but I will do my best."
After Yao Qianwen's map was drawn, it was not complicated, I probably remembered the route, so I got into the quicksand, but Yao Qianwen, who was standing in front of the stone gate, suddenly shouted to me: "The next time you meet, you have to tell me, is it worth it!" ”
My body started to sink, and I wanted to say, "If there's another time," but when it came to my lips, it became, "Okay." ”
She smiled a little happily and turned and slipped into the stone door.
……
According to the previous route, I came to Gu Ding, and then there was the map drawn by Yao Qianwen, the route was not complicated, and the so-called "White Bone Corridor" was quickly found by me. It's just that at this moment, I only saw the white bones in the "corridor", and Zuo Yuan's subordinates in the white bones, but I didn't see Zuo Yuan.
Lan Lan's basket was also missing.
The rest of the people, as Yao Qianwen said, sat in the tunnel with a sluggish expression, motionless, and could not even see the ups and downs of their breath in their chests.
I walked to the tunnel, stopped before the bone boundary, and didn't enter. Although this place is also paved with bones, it is a little different from the previous one. The white bones here are flat, there is almost no difference between the front and back, and there is no sense of oppression and loneliness from the insect venom.
What is it that keeps them here?
I stretched out my toes and took a gentle half-step forward.
At that moment, I decided to retract what I had just thought, it was not completely different, to be precise, this tunnel should be a good imitation of the previous one. Although I can't feel the insect poison decomposing flesh and blood, the depression, loneliness, and fear appear in my heart, but fortunately, I have become accustomed to it, and the feeling of devouring the soul is fleeting.
The door at the end of the tunnel was slowly opening, I withdrew my foot, and when the door was fully open, Zuo Yuan was standing inside the door. The long hair that covered his face was completely lifted at this moment, revealing half of his hideous skeletal face, and the other half of his face was smiling, smiling evilly, like a ghost possessing his body, "Here?" ”
"Here we are." I responded, my gaze sweeping over his shoulder.
On Zuo Yuan's back is a cloth basket containing Lan Lan.
"How did you get in?" I asked.
Asked a little knowingly.
"Of course I have a way. But hunter, you should have your own way, right? Zuo Yuan looked at me curiously, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he clapped his hands, "Yes, if there is a way, you have to hurry, because in this, I found Du Youlan." If you don't come, I can't kill her. ”
That one-eyed squint widely, and although it was dozens of meters away, I seemed to be able to see the bloodshot in his eyes!
The Du Youlan in his mouth is Mina.
I know.
But he seems to know.
Otherwise, why would you look at me so fanatically?
I know, there's a catch.
In other words, in Zuo Yuan's opinion, the road in front of me is enough to subdue me.
And what about after the uniform?
The final answer to what he wants to do is at the end of this road.
So, I took a step, but as soon as my foot was raised, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind me, and then a girl's voice came, "Uncle! Wait, wait! ”
Yao Qianwen?
