Volume 2, Lost in the Sand Sea Chapter 143, Rat-Face Guard
The crack is said to be wide but not wide, but it is not narrow, and people can just free up their bodies when they walk in it. Looking up, the crack narrowed and narrowed, and finally it was completely together, and nothing could be seen. The three of them were close to the stone wall on the left, and on the right was a crack nearly half a meter wide, and there was no bottom to be seen below, and there were many boulders caught in the crack.
Chen Tao used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine inside, and found that there was a lot of yellow sand accumulated under the gap, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, could it be that this gap led directly to the desert outside?
"You see, this stone wall has been worked on before." Ye Rong touched the stone wall on one side with her hand, "This place shouldn't have been so wide before, and someone once used the original crack to dig such a passage out." ”
Chen Tao looked at the stone wall and found that in some relatively narrow places, there were traces of excavation, and the age should be very old.
"It's strange, no matter how I look at it, this road is like a secret passage, which was quietly left behind."
"Tatunans, do you know how to do tricks?" Hiroko asked.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tao asked.
"I always feel that these agencies on this road are somewhat familiar, but I am not sure." Haozi looked at the crack behind him and thought about it.
Ye Rong was a little puzzled: "Isn't this organ almost the same, press here, get up there, what's the difference?" ”
"Oh, as the saying goes, those who can watch the doorway, and those who can't watch the excitement. You are all laymen, you can't see the subtlety of this, I have been studying with my grandfather for 12 years, this trick is so complicated and difficult to understand, it is not what you can imagine! Haozi smashed his mouth, thought for a long time, and finally waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't understand with the two of you!" ”
"Well, there are too many secrets in this place, and they can't be solved in a while." Chen Tao nodded, Li Lao's ability, he knows, since Haozi has such suspicions, he must have discovered something, but he will not be able to draw a conclusion for a while. "The most important thing at the moment is to find Uncle Long and meet them, and I don't know where they are now."
This crack is not easy to walk, and in some places there is not even a foot to step on, so you can only use your hands to clasp the stone wall and cross it. There are also places that are stuck by boulders, leaving only a very small passage, and Chen Tao almost sucked his stomach flat before he got through. The three of them climbed up the crack, and the cold wind blew down overhead, sometimes mixed with a lot of sand, and the squinting people couldn't open their eyes.
I don't know how long I climbed, but suddenly a bright light appeared in front of me.
"Stars, stars!" Haozi was very excited, "We're out!" ”
Chen Tao covered Haozi's mouth: "I rely on you to find death, be quiet!" ”
The three of them turned off their flashlights and carefully crawled through the gap to the entrance of the cave.
It was night, cloudless, stars hung like jewels in the night sky, a bright moon hung overhead, and there was a huge moon halo around it.
The three of them cautiously burrowed out of the hole, and found that the crack was actually under a strange pile of rocks, and to their surprise, they were under the crowd
Surrounded by strange mounds, they are as high as four stories high, like a castle tower of varying heights. The side walls of the mound are steep, and in the moonlight, you can faintly see the lines of sand, gravel and soil deposits.
Under the white full moon, there was a faint blue light on the mounds, and there was a dead silence all around, like a ghost town. The cold wind blew from the depths of the mound, swishing on people's faces, making people shiver all over their bodies.
Looking at the stone buildings of different sizes and shapes around him, Chen Tao suddenly felt a little familiar.
"This is ......." Ye Rong's eyes widened in disbelief, "This is the maze on the outskirts of Tatunaan, we have arrived!" ”
"What!"
Chen Tao raised his flashlight and looked around, remembering that in the phantom of the God of War Palace, there was a circle of tall and short city towers around Tatunan, which turned out to be this devil city!
The three of them climbed the nearest high hill, and looked into the depths by the moonlight, stretching all the way to this devil's city, and there was no end in sight in the night.
"Uncle Long, they should have already gone in, we should hurry up!" Chen Tao said.
"That's the case, but how are you going to get in?" Ye Rong looked at Chen Tao and said, "The reason why this place is called a labyrinth is because it is as complex as a labyrinth, and it is a natural barrier around the periphery of Tatunaan. In those days, countless countries tried to attack Tatunaan, but they lost their way in this place, and almost all of their troops were wiped out, and they were trapped here alive. ”
"Legend has it that if a person enters the labyrinth, not only will he not be able to get out, but even his soul will be trapped in it, and he will never be able to live forever. These spirits wander the labyrinth day and night, and before night falls, you can hear countless people wailing and crying, and even hear armies fighting in it. ”
Seeing that what Ye Rong said was serious, Haozi waved his hand and said, "Don't we have a compass?"
Hearing this, Chen Tao took off the compass from the strap, and his jaw was about to fall off when he saw it.
At this point, the compass in his hand was like a dance, completely out of order.
"This ...... What the hell is this, even the compass is not working. ”
"There should be a strong magnetic field here, and all the instruments will fail here. It is rumored that only Tatunans know the way in, and there must be a passage here, and we must find a way to find it. ”
Chen Tao looked at this endless maze, "Uncle Long, how did they get in?" Could it be that the bearded ones have already gone in? ”
The three of them were standing on top of the sand dunes, thinking about how to get through the maze, when a cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears. Immediately after, a figure stepped out from behind the mound.
"Hmph, the Chen family's miscellaneous people, we meet again!"
Listening to that voice, Chen Tao was buzzing in his head, and his face suddenly changed.
It's a beard!
The three of them hurriedly looked at it, and saw that torches lit up in the darkness, and one figure after another came out from behind the mound, and the muzzle of the black hole was already aimed at them.
"Run! If you have the ability, you can run again
! The bearded man walked out of the crowd with a hideous face.
Chen Tao and the three of them stood back to back on top of the mound, watching the bearded men surround them, and a wave of despair welled up in their hearts.
At this time, they are lambs thrown into the wolf's den, and there is no hiding from them.
", careless!" Haozi gritted his teeth, grabbing three spikes in each hand, "Today Haoye, I'm going to explain here!" ”
"Haozi, be a brother again in the next life!" Chen Tao knew that the three of them had no way to escape, and he had already made desperate plans in his heart.
"Chen Tao, Li Hao, I'm sorry, I hurt you!" Ye Rong said.
"When is this coming, don't talk about these useless things!"
When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed. Along the way, Chen Tao and the bearded man can be said to be endless, and now the three of them have fallen into their encirclement again, and the killing intent on their faces has not diminished at all.
"I said, you can't run away!" The bearded man raised his gun and said viciously: "I can't kill Chen You, and if I kill you, a little rabbit cub, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!"
"O'Rank!" Chen Tao yelled: "I'm dead when I die, I'm not afraid of you, but I don't want to die in vain, how did my Chen family offend you?" ”
"Humph!" The bearded man sneered, "Why did you offend me when you were still hard-mouthed when you died?" This should be asked to your Chen family, to ask that damn Chen You! ”
The bearded man almost roared: "He killed so many of us here back then, even my father died at his hands, this hatred is not shared!" ”
As he spoke, the bearded man raised the muzzle of his gun.
Syllable.....
In the darkness, he suddenly remembered a gunshot, Chen Tao thought that the bearded man was going to shoot, but he didn't expect that the shot did not hit him, but hit the bearded man's body.
Immediately afterward, there was another dense rain of gunfire.
Dada.....
The crowd that had originally surrounded Chen Tao suddenly became flustered, and seven or eight fell in an instant.
"What people!" The bearded man shouted angrily, beckoned his subordinates to scatter and hide in the mound, and then looked at Chen Tao and them, and they were gone.
Dada.......
Dada.......
The silence of the maze was broken by the sound of gunfire, and Chen Tao and the three of them hid behind a mound, looking at the two waves of people in the distance with a look of astonishment.
At that moment just now, Haozi suddenly threw out the spike in his hand, and there were only two people guarding that position, Haozi suddenly became difficult and directly killed one, and at the same time, Ye Rong also shot at the same time, directly solving the other person.
The three of them seized the moment, and by the time the others reacted, the three of them had already jumped off the mound and rushed into the maze behind them without looking back.
The bullet whizzed past his ear, and Chen Taoxin mentioned his throat. The three of them hid behind a mound nearby, and when they looked behind them, the bearded man had already engaged in fire with the group of people in the dark.
The night was already deep, the moon hung high overhead, and tongues of fire spewed out in the dark night, and the guns were incessant.
Keep people getting shot and falling, sending out a
A terrible wail.
"Who the hell are those?" Chen Tao hid behind the mound and looked at the group of people in the depths of the darkness with a puzzled expression.
In the moonlight, the men were dressed in gray-white robes with a turban wrapped around their heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but they could be seen to have rat faces.
"Oh my God, the rat spirit saved us!" Haozi was also stunned when he carried his back behind the mound.
"No, these people ......," Ye Rong's chest rose and fell violently, "These people are Tatunaan's guards!" ”
"What!" Chen Tao looked at the group of people in disbelief, his attention was on the mouse face again, remembering the stone statues he had seen in the porch of the main hall, and said in surprise: "How is this possible, didn't you say that Tatunan is a dead city?" How could there be any guards here! ”
