Chapter 30: A spike in instinctive reaction
Xuan Xuan's reaction was relatively alert, and when she heard the movement above her head, she immediately said, "Quick!" Let's get out of here! ”
As soon as the words came out, I immediately dodged and moved into the small passage when I came. (It should be explained here that although the bronze figure is completely built by the human body, there is actually a hidden passage inside, and the opening of the passage is carried out by these gaps and portals.) )
It's a pity that Xiao Xuan and I are half a step late.
There was a loud bang, and a hidden secret door was smashed open on the top door.
All of a sudden, a stream of fishy dirty water poured down on his head.
"Don't!" I yelled and stretched out my arms to block the announcement.
Xuan Xuan is a sister who is clear and jade, I will never allow it, dirty water stains the girl, I want to block it with my body, I want to protect ......
Alas, I'll confess, actually, it's still the nerves in the brain that are a little estrus that are doing the trick.
However, it is useless to block.
The water was extremely powerful, and it was condescending, pouring out, and all of a sudden, it drenched the two of us.
It doesn't matter if the clothes are all wet, and the smell is not bad, but the important thing is that there are living creatures in the water.
Rumble! Thump!
X your uncle! What the hell?
On the dome, the fire in the crystal tube loomed, I borrowed the hazy light from Xiao Xuan to look, and saw that not far away, about 40 centimeters deep in the smelly dirty water, a monster brother, was stretching his arms and legs, opening his mouth, yawning.
Curiosity kills the kitten, at this time, Xiao Xuan and I should have just dodged away, but we are curious, what kind of thing is this little monster?
So, while I looked at the mob, the mob kept moving, and then blocked our retreat.
What is this? Let me describe it in detail.
This thing is very long, about two meters long and 50 centimeters wide. And then it's a reptilian creature with two limbs.
Right now, the thing was raising its proud head, staring at me and Xiao Xuan with a pair of resentful eyes.
This ...... Hey! Why are there scales on the body, and a fish tail is dragged behind it?
Xiao Xuan swished, and moved quickly to my side.
When I saw it, I knew that my sister was afraid of the monster, and I was about to get up to block the monster, but the girl came out to block me, and whispered: "This is a merman!" But for some reason, it was kept in the belly of this bronze man. In addition, it stands to reason that the life span of a merman is not more than a hundred years at most. But this ......"
I replied in a low voice: "It must be the medicine in your Dao Sect." ”
Xiao Xuan: "Very likely. ”
I said, "Since what's the case, let's withdraw!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge merman suddenly let out a strange giggle.
Giggles.
The next second, the merman twisted his tail and swished to swim to our side.
At the same time, I saw a rather chilling scene.
When we first entered, we squeezed in through an open, entrance-like gap. That is, there was originally a door there. But now, who can tell me where that door is?
Just now, the merman only blocked it, and the gap was gone, and we couldn't get out!
Now, the little monster is swimming around in the dirty water like a fish, as if it has taken us as its prey, and is ready to taste our flesh after leaving the customs.
Xiao Xuan and I didn't move.
At the same time, I reached out and slowly pulled out the waistband of my waistband, and secretly pulled out the outdoor knife inserted into the scabbard and held it in my hand.
Xiao Xuan muttered to me: "Shark people, born strange silver. In ancient times, they often sang in the sea, and with their sound skills, they lured fishermen to a closer place, and then suddenly appeared and jumped to kill. More than 1,000 years ago, mermaids often haunted the sea. In modern times, the number of sharks is decreasing day by day, and except for a few fishermen who go out to sea to fish all year round, ordinary people are rarely seen. ”
I gritted my teeth and replied, "So, is it the legendary mermaid?" ”
Xiao Xuan sneered: "This thing is not!" The merfolk have something else! ”
Xiao Xuan and I were staring at each other and chatting without a word. And the mermaids in the water seem to ignore us at all, and still swim in the dirty water, never wanting to look at us.
It was a stalemate for about two minutes.
Xiao Xuan clenched his fists: "I'm going to lead it, you think of a way, one hit will kill!" This thing, very ferocious, if you can't hit it in one hit, I ......"
The last 'I' word hasn't been fully uttered yet.
The merman in the dirty water suddenly turned around in the water!
Wow! A large stream of dirty water squirted at my and Xiao Xuan's faces.
At the same time, the merman used its big tail to push the floor, twisted its body, and rushed straight to me.
The speed of this cargo is no less than that of a snake.
Blow up the water, twist around, and jump again. A few moves were done perfectly.
The straight-line distance between me and the merman is no more than three meters, in the short distance of three meters, which way should I take to achieve the one-hit kill that Xiao Xuan said?
Frankly speaking, at this time, it is too late for the brain to think and analyze.
But I don't understand this, and my brain is still hesitating about the specific method of attack. At the same time, my body moved.
Bend over, hold the knife in your backhand, and let the tip of the knife go up, turn sideways, twist the step, and twist forward.
Swish!
As I waded through the water, I screwed under the merman.
At the same time, the merman's killing force was just right and hit my blade.
Burst!
The blade of the knife went from the bottom up to the neck of the merman.
My body twisted, and with this twisting force, I jumped forward again.
Burst! I smelled a foul smell first, blurred vision the next, and then I realized that I had let something spray.
Bang! Wow!
The sound of a heavy object falling into the water sounded behind him.
I got up, turned my head, and in the dirty water, the merman brother was constantly rolling and struggling in it.
And it wasn't until this time that I came to the conclusion in my mind that I should lower my body and then stab upwards, so that I could achieve the effect of killing with one hit.
But what about the facts? As it turned out, my brain simply wasn't enough. didn't react so quickly, the merman had already hung up, and he was hit, so let me disembowel. But all this is not the result of the action of the brain analysis, but my instinctive reaction!
I remember when I was in college, a teacher once said that the human brain is almost no different from gorillas and some primates in terms of physiological anatomy. Including what back ditch and so on, the difference is very small.
To put it bluntly, each of us is actually stupid in our brains!
But what does it mean that we humans have created our own civilization on this planet? The teacher told him, he didn't understand this.
Again, I don't understand. But I believe that Xiao Xuan and the mysterious Taoist power behind her will definitely understand!
Right now, I have a knife in my hand, standing in the water, gasping for breath, up and down my body, soaked with sewage everywhere, not to mention, your sister, there seems to be a thing on top of the brain!
What's that?
I reached for it, and I grabbed a lump of tissue mixed with unknown viscera and mucus......
Uh, is this a jade pendant?
The thing I grasped in my hand was black and stinky, a standard round shape with a hole in the center, and it looked exactly the same as the ancient ring-shaped jade pendant we had seen.
Xuan Xuan stood beside me for a while. Obviously, Fang Cai's second kill shocked her a lot.
She stretched out her little tongue, licked her dry lips, and sighed in admiration: "Kill the shark hero, you can't see it, that person taught you quite a lot." ”
I gave her a blank look: "Sensei said these words, the flirtatious person is suspicious, and he has not fallen, and he will not give an answer when it is over." Alright, you can help me see what this thing is. ”
I handed the suspected jade pendant to Xuan Xuan.
As a result, as soon as the people looked at it, they immediately said: 'My hero, this merman doesn't know if it's a dead thing or a living thing, and you dare to take the things in its stomach, throw it away.' ’
I was speechless, tilted my head and thought for a moment, and finally decided to put this in my pocket.
Xiao Xuan stared at my movements: "Greedy for money, hey, I said you secular people, can you not be so greedy for money." ”
I replied: "Go to the side!" You don't eat the fireworks of the world, and you MINI, I don't believe you used Taoism to conjure it. ”
Xuan Xuan pouted, glared at me, and was silent.
After about three or four seconds of cold air, I reached out and scooped up the dirty water, flushed the sticky stuff off my head, and then turned to check the entrance.
Sure enough, it was sealed.
Prying, digging, kicking, all kinds of methods are ineffective.
I sighed, glanced at Xiao Xuan and said, "It's miserable, we're locked up here, how can we get out." ”
Xiao Xuan stood silently, as if thinking.
I glanced at the merman's corpse in the water, and looked at it again, and the front X gland was still burning!
At the end, I thought about what I went through. Suddenly, he got up and clapped his hands: "There is!" ”
Xiao Xuan was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”
I said, "Although I don't know as much as you know, I have read some novels and stories in which Taoists call the thought that arises in a man's heart after being stimulated as a flood beast, and then look here......
Xiao Xuan said thoughtfully:
"Stimulated, the fire is born. Then there are delusional thoughts in my heart. This thought, turned into reality, is not it the fierce merman and the dirty water of this pool. Now, let's behead the merman, and ...... next."
I chimed in, "Extinguish the fire!" It's a ritual! It's a spiritual ritual! ”
Xiao Xuan: "That's right! We're going to put it out right away! ”
If you don't say anything, act now. Xiao Xuan and I walked quickly to the front of the bronze front X gland, bent down and splashed the dirty water on it.
Work for three minutes.
With the white vapor steaming, the phase fire completely extinguished us.
At the same time, the dirty water under my feet is quietly decreasing at a rapid speed.
Five minutes later, the dirty water was gone.
It can be exported, but it is still not found.
Just as Xiao Xuan and I were looking around, there was an extremely dull sound of mechanical operation inside the bronze man.
Boom, buzz...... Squeaky Khaca.
What's going on.
I looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "Is it possible, this thing, it's alive?" ”
Xiao Xuan: "Nonsense, this is a dead thing, how can it live?" ”
"What about this!"
As soon as the words fell.
There was a rumble on the soles of my feet, and in the next second, Xiao Xuan and I fell.
In a girl's home, fear is nature, instinct, and has nothing to do with your own strength. Therefore, the moment I fell, Xuan Xuan stretched out his little arm and hugged me.
To be honest, this time the hug is not fragrant, but it smells.
I can't help it, and I don't want to see what this is.
The place where you fall is not high, at most two meters to the end. It was supposed to be a separate cabin, narrow, and only for the two of us to cuddle together.
Thump.
As his ass hit the ground, there was a slight locking sound above his head.
The next second, it was dark.
Then, the rumbling sound grew louder and louder, and then we moved.
