Volume 2, The Lost Trail of the Sand Sea Chapter 176, The Secret Passage

"Damn, how can it be him!" Chen Tao looked at the man on the ground in some surprise.

No wonder I feel a little familiar.

The body, the body shape, and the chicken-nest hairstyle.

This special mother is actually Liang Shaokai!

"Forehead......." Chen Tao rubbed his temples, "Why did this goods come too?" ”

"You said him?" Ye Rong sneered, the same face as Uncle Long made Chen Tao look a little uncomfortable.

"He had to come with him, and you have to thank him."

"I thank him for his hair, it's good not to smoke him!" As soon as he thought of Liang Shaokai's cheap thing, Chen Tao was angry and didn't fight anywhere.

At this time, Liang Shaokai was still in a coma, and Chen Tao asked a little puzzled, "Is this thing dead?" ”

"We fell into Bloom's ambush and were captured by them. Before you came to save us, Liang Shaokai had escaped, but I don't know what happened and was found again, and when we saw him again, he was already unconscious. ”

"Why is he pretending to be me?" Chen Tao was a little puzzled.

"He pretended to be you to lure those people out, but I didn't expect you to come to Tatunaan." Ye Rong turned her head to look at Ye Ling'er, who blushed and lowered her head and muttered with her fingers.

"I'm not in a hurry, in order to save you......."

"Your business, let's talk about it when I go back and see Granny Ji."

"Ah........ I don't! Ye Ling'er looked depressed, as if it was a very terrible thing to see this Mother-in-law Ji.

"Strange, why hasn't Liang Shaokai woken up yet?" Chen Tao frowned and looked at Liang Shaokai on the ground, according to Ye Rong and what they said, this kid has been in a coma for a while, but there is no sign of waking up at all.

At this time, Liang Shaokai's face was a little pale, his eyes were closed, if his chest was still undulating, Chen Tao would really think that he was dead.

Liang Shaokai's breathing was very heavy, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.

Chen Tao noticed Liang Shaokai's abnormality, and this heavy breathing sound made him have a faint bad premonition in his heart.

He broke Liang Shaokai's mouth with his hand, and his face couldn't help but change.

"Sure enough, this is it!"

At this time, there was a black thing in Liang Shaokai's mouth blocking his throat, squirming with Liang Shaokai's breathing from time to time.

"How so!" Ye Rong looked at what was in Liang Shaokai's mouth, and a disgusting expression surged on her face.

"I don't know, when Haozi was in a coma before, he also had such a thing in his mouth."

"Damn, damn it!" Haozi rubbed his neck and retched, and said with a strange expression, "What I was in my mouth before, is this also the thing?" ”

The one in Liang Shaokai's mouth looked a lot smaller than Haozi at that time, and his life was at stake, although he was unwilling to do so, Chen Tao still begged Ye Ling'er to help pull out the big sticky worm in his mouth.

"This, it seems to be some kind of Gu worm...... Ye Rong frowned tightly, "I have seen in some ancient books at home that there was once a group that was good at making poison and raising Gu, called the Wu Clan, they knew how to drive insects and ants, and they were the best at raising some strange poisonous insects, snakes and beasts. It's really strange, the witch clan has been exterminated for more than 2,000 years, is there still anyone who understands this kind of witchcraft? ”

"Ahem....."

Liang Shaokai, who was taken out of the black worm, suddenly coughed a few times, and his eyes slowly opened.

His voice was very weak, Ye Rong handed him a kettle, and said lightly, "How do you feel." ”

Liang Shaokai didn't seem to be completely awake, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "Where am I?" ”

"Karl Cave." Chen Tao replied lightly.

"Oh.......... What the! ”

Liang Shaokai's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Chen Tao beside him in disbelief, and subconsciously touched his face.

"Little ...... Younger brother? ”

Then he looked around blankly, "Ya........ What's the situation? ”

"It was Chen Tao who saved us." Ye Rong said.

"Ahem...... Liang Shaokai coughed dryly, shook his body and stood up from the ground. Regardless of Chen Tao's face, he hooked it on his neck.

"Little brother! My dear little brother! I know that you still have Ben Shao in mind, and if there is something good to go in later, Ben Shao will reward you with one! ”

Looking at Liang Shaokai's big face, his smile was even more ugly than a big horse monkey.

"Get out of here, who's your little brother!" Chen Tao angrily slapped Liang Shaokai's arm away.

"What happened after you escaped?" Ye Rong frowned and asked.

This is also Chen Tao's most concerned issue.

Liang Shaokai glanced down at the armyworm, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, as if he recalled something extremely terrifying. He looked a little frightened, and he clutched his head to remember the situation, but he couldn't remember anything.

"I don't remember." Liang Shaokai shook his head a little confused, "At that time, I didn't have much to escape, and I fainted in a good way, and I didn't know anything about it after that." ”

"Don't you remember?" Haozi looked at Liang Shaokai with a solemn face, he had eaten this insect inexplicably before, but when he tried hard to recall all this, he found that his mind was blank.

"I seem to have seen a woman....... Liang Shaokai rubbed his head and said, "A woman with big breasts.......

After a little rectification, Balohad led the group into the low temple of the rat god, which was almost four meters high, and in the middle was a huge statue of the rat-headed human body, which was the legendary rat god Dokarna.

There are also many stone sculptures of rats around the stone statue of Dokarna, and on the top of the temple, there are also various mouse images carved with them. There are still many stone murals on the surrounding stone walls, recording the scene of the rat god Dokarna leading a group of rats to help the Tatunans fight, and the scene of King Tatunan leading the courtiers to worship.

Chen Tao looked at everything around him, and seemed to be able to feel the splendor at that time.

Strangely, he had followed Balohad through several halls from the beginning to the present, but he had not seen a single mouse.

"Is there still a holy rat alive here?" Chen Tao asked.

Ballohad shook his head, "Ever since Tatunan was buried in the desert, the Holy Rat has all disappeared, leaving only the ruined Cave Temple. ”

Without speaking, the group followed Balohad through the main hall, behind which was a relatively open sand dune, and in the middle there was a large altar on which stood a statue of a holy rat carved from a single boulder.

The statue stood upright on its legs, with its slender tail coiled at its feet, and could be the size of a van.

Its carvings are so delicate that even the hairlines on its body are clearly visible, and on the head of the holy mouse, a clear strand of long hair extends all the way to its back.

"This is the true image of the rat god Dogarna."

Balohad walked up to the altar and bowed respectfully to the statue, then he went to the statue of the rat, searched around it, and finally stopped under the lower belly of the statue.

Boom!

Balohad pulled out the long knife at his waist, stuck the blade into a crack in a stone slab beneath the rat statue, and began to pry it vigorously.

Seeing this, Soke and the others on the side also pulled out their long knives and went up to help.

Click.......

The slate was slowly lifted, and a gust of wind blew, revealing the swarthy hole below.

"This is it!" Balohad addressed the crowd.

Thork handed over a torch, and Balohad took it and probed into the hole, then threw it straight in.

Chen Tao poked his head out and glanced in, and the torch fell straight down the black hole, and finally stuck on the ground and burned.

This secret passage is not deep, the bottom is about three or four meters above the ground, and the entrance to the hole is so narrow that only one person can pass through.

By the light of the jumping fire, you can see that there is a lot of sand accumulated underneath, and it is pitch black inside, and there is no end in sight.

"Be careful, everyone." Balohad gave a word to the crowd and jumped down first, followed by Sok and Barr.

"Let's go, let's go down too!" Chen Tao nodded at Haozi and jumped down with him.

The secret passage is so low that one can barely stand and walk in it.

The group walked in the low secret passage, and under their feet were hard stone slabs, which had fallen with sand and rustled on them, and occasionally some broken bones and shriveled mouse carcasses could be seen.

According to the location, the location of the temple is only a few hundred meters away from the Karl Cave, and this secret passage connects the inside and outside of the city, Chen Tao estimates that it should be the escape secret passage left for himself by the royal family at that time just in case.

Judging from these traces around, it seems that there have been some battles here, and there are some scattered bones and rusty weapons in the secret passage, which should be thousands of years ago, and as soon as Chen Tao's feet touched, those bones shattered into slag.

"Looks like something happened here......"

Chen Tao looked at those rats, and as Balohad said, although the corpses had been dried, he could still see that the size of this thing was several times larger than the ordinary kind of rats.

"Commander Barlow, why do we have to wait for Bruno and the others to dig up the body of the archwizard? Wouldn't it be better to stop them directly? Regarding Balohard's plan, Chen Tao really didn't understand.

"The main reason why the Great Wizard's soul is trapped in Tatunaan is that his body has been cursed by the Wizards. You don't know the horror of the Great Wizard, no one can kill him, that's why you split his body from his soul. If we want to kill the Grand Wizard, we must make him turn back into a normal person first. Thirty years ago, Bruno freed the soul of the Great Wizard, but his body was not found. Therefore, although the demon was awakened, he could not leave the temple. Because of this, my father and your grandfather failed to kill the Great Wizard, but had to seal his soul again. ”

"According to you, don't you have to wait for them to resurrect the Great Wizard?"

"If you want to kill him completely, this is the only way." Balohad looked solemn, "Three thousand years, we are all a group of people with curses on our backs, and this should also be over." ”

"Are you sure you'll kill him?" Chen Tao asked.

"Nope." Balohad replied decisively.

"What?" Chen Tao stopped and looked blankly at Balohad in front of him.

Are you kidding me?

Chen Tao stopped suddenly, and Haozi behind him hit Chen Tao's body headlong, and the torch in his hand almost lit the back of Chen Tao's head.

He scolded and scolded, "I rely on Taozi, don't stop, you special mother, there are a lot of people behind!" Do you want to try what it is like to roast chrysanthemums with torches? ”

"Hey, I know this, it's really ....... to talk about my little brother's chrysanthemum" Liang Shaokai inserted the topic with a shyness on his face, and finally closed his mouth honestly under Chen Tao's murderous eyes.

Looking at Liang Shaokai's obscene face, although Chen Tao felt upset, he was still a little surprised in his heart.

If you want to talk about Haozi's physique, Chen Tao knows it, don't look at his height, but his physical fitness is definitely much stronger than ordinary people.

It took a long time for Haozi to recover after taking out the worms, but this Liang Shaokai had recovered fifty or sixty percent in just a short time, almost like a nobody, which was really unexpected by Chen Tao.

But now, Chen Tao doesn't have the heart to think about this problem.

"You wait!" Chen Tao grabbed Balohard, "If you can't kill the Great Wizard, isn't it equivalent to letting everyone die?" ”

"The messenger of the East once left a sentence that the descendants of the Burial Guardian with ancient power can end all this, but after so many years, we haven't even figured out what the Burial Guardian is, let alone its descendants! Until ........," Ballohad looked back at Tao Chen, "until we met your grandfather." ”

"My grandfather?" Chen Tao was stunned, does grandpa have anything to do with the funeral guard?

"That time, he gave us hope of killing the Great Wizard." Ballohad looked at Chen Tao with a look full of hope, "Although we couldn't completely kill that devil, we all saw that your grandfather's attack had hurt him!" ”

"The descendant of the Burial Spirit Guard with ancient power......." Chen Tao's whole person was stunned, and it seemed that an electric current had rushed through his brain.

The great wizard who can't be hurt by ordinary people, the prophecy of Qianshu Hongde, grandpa.......

Don't!

Chen Tao looked at Balohad in disbelief.

Grandpa is a descendant of the funeral guard?

So, is that great wizard a spirit?

A spirit that lives in the real world, a spirit that can be seen by all!

How is this possible!

"You are the descendant of Chen You's predecessors, and we believe that you can do it too!" Balohad solemnly begged Chen Tao: "Please help us and end this!" ”

Chen Tao was a little at a loss, how did he know how to kill the Great Wizard, even if he really had something to do with the legendary Funeral Guard, but he Chen Tao had never heard of these things from his family?

The gaze of Balohad and the others made Chen Tao feel a little flustered, this is not a trivial matter, Balohad is tantamount to putting everyone's lives on his head.

But how did Chen Tao know how to deal with that great wizard?

"No, I don't tell you the truth, I really don't know how to deal with that great wizard, and I don't know if our family has that kind of cow breaking skills, no one has ever told me about these things anyway. If I really promised you, it would be no different from taking everyone to death. ”

"Alas......" Ballohad sighed, "Little Brother Chen Tao, you only need to promise me one thing. If we fail, take my mask out and go to the town of Bau to hand it over to the owner of the Tatu Inn. ”

"Lord Barlow, things have come to this point, no matter what, I will do my best, not only for you, but also for me, I still have a lot of puzzles to solve, so, I must not die here!" Chen Tao's eyes became firm, even if he didn't know how to deal with that great wizard, he had to keep going.

Rather than live a lifetime with a mystery, it is better to die on the way to the truth.

The group stepped up their steps and hurried through the secret passage, and Chen Tao calculated that they should have passed through the Cave of Karl and reached the city wall of the King of Tatunan.

It was still dark ahead, and from time to time I could feel a wind blowing from the front, cowardly, cold, and swishing, making people shiver for a while. It was as if the wind was blowing up from the eighteen layers of hell.

Chen Tao followed behind Balohad with a torch, he looked up at the end of the sound of the secret road, suddenly his face changed, and he lowered his voice and said.

"Be careful, there's a guy up ahead!"
