Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Locked Centaur Skeleton
Just when the doctor and I were both amazed, the old turtle with his head held high suddenly spoke: "Two little dolls, what do you see, haven't you seen such a wise and martial turtle uncle?" ”
Witnessing the old turtle talking, I almost dropped my jaw in shock, and shouted badly: "Oops, fooled, it turns out that there is a turtle spirit under the seal, doctor, run!" ”
"You're the fucking turtle spirit, your ancestors have been turtle spirits for eighteen generations!" As soon as I finished speaking, the old turtle on the ground raised his head and scolded unhappily, his face was still anthropomorphic with a dissatisfied expression, and the two particularly obvious white eyebrows shook and twitched, which looked very funny.
The doctor was much calmer than me, and when he saw that the old turtle seemed unusual, he stopped and asked, "Turtle...... Sir, you were calling us just now? ”
The old turtle opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, shook off the gravel on his head, raised his head high, squinted at us with a pair of mung beans that were already very small, and said, "That's right, it's the uncle who is calling you." ”
As he spoke, it tilted its head to look at the ghostly demon bat behind us, shrunk its neck, and asked in a hurried tone: "Little doll, if you want to go out, take the uncle, the uncle can help you." ”
The doctor glanced at the old turtle with interest, and just wanted to speak, when he heard a violent roar behind him again, it turned out that the ghostly demon bat possessed by the skeleton of the human horse was wreaking havoc on the cave, and spit out a black pillar of light like a dragon's breath from his mouth, and under the black light sweeping, the dense stalactite forest at the top of the cave was all cut off, and it kept falling down, and the demon bat itself was also flying towards us at great speed.
Our faces changed, and we heard the old turtle shouting: "Quick, take the uncle, run over there, the uncle has a way to deal with it!" ”
The doctor was a resolute man, and immediately decided to take this mysterious old turtle of unknown origin, and he picked it up, stuffed it into my hand, and then carried me on my back and ran away in the direction the old turtle pointed out.
In fact, at the moment, in addition to this road, we have no choice, because the exit in the direction of the stalactite forest has been destroyed by the demon bat, and at this time it may have collapsed, even if the exit is still there, it is not easy to turn over the falling rocks, besides, the Taoist priest is still inside, we can't leave him alone, right?
In the dark cave, a person, a turtle, and a cripple fled frantically, followed closely behind them a giant demon bat that looked like a demon god, and this demon bat could also spit out black light like dragon breath, and its destructive power was no less than that of the most advanced laser weapons.
I turned my head to stare at the bat, instructing the Medic to dodge as it was about to attack, narrowly dodging the sweeping black pillar of light each time. The ground behind me was already full of holes, and I couldn't imagine what would happen to us if we were hit by a black light.
Although the doctor's skills are extremely agile and his physical strength is also extremely strong, the difference in strength between the two sides is so great that if we continue like this, we will definitely die.
While paying attention to the movements of the demon bat, I anxiously shouted at the old turtle: "Uncle Turtle, didn't you say that there is a way to deal with that thing, hurry up!" If you don't do it, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to do it again. ”
The old tortoise, who had been obsessed with it, was not at all restless, and he hated that I was uncomfortable holding it, so he climbed on top of my head, grabbed the hair on my forehead with its two front paws, and the old god took me for his mount.
Being trampled on the top of my head by a turtle naturally made me extremely unhappy, but now that the situation is critical, I don't bother to bother with it.
The old turtle stretched his head in front of my eyes and shook it, grinning and said: "What's the hurry, your friend is good, that stupid thing will definitely not be able to catch up for a while, and when he arrives at the place, the uncle can pinch the evil beast with his fingers casually." ”
"To the place? Where? I asked.
The old turtle retracted his head, and a cold snort came from the top of his head: "You will know when the time comes, don't bother the uncle now, the uncle needs to rest and recover, otherwise he will not have the strength to do it later, and everyone will have to finish playing."
After saying that, the old turtle did not move again. I don't know if what he said is true or not, but in the current situation, it is better to believe it than to believe it, so I can only endure it first.
The innermost part of the cave, as I have just observed, is an extremely deep crack, and I don't know where it leads, but unfortunately the width of this crack is a little wider, just enough for the demon bat to spread its wings and fly in, otherwise we can use this crack to completely escape the pursuit of the demon bat.
As soon as the doctor jumped into the crack, the demon bat flew in after him, and in such a narrow environment, the situation was extremely unfavorable for us.
Because of the limited space, the black light spit out by the demon bat became a straight line attack, although we can dodge, but the black light bombards the rocks on both sides of the crack, and each time it will shoot down a large amount of rubble, these gravel are nothing to the huge body of the demon bat, but for us, these falling rocks are undoubtedly catastrophic.
The large pieces of rubble fell, making the cracked ground full of obstacles, and the worst thing was that we couldn't predict when the rocks would fall on our heads, and our hearts were hanging in our throats, and all the pressure was on the doctor alone.
We escaped a distance without danger, but in the end we still won the lottery, a fist-sized rock fell from the rock wall dozens of meters high, and smashed on the top of my head, if it wasn't for the old turtle lying on top of my head to rest, I am afraid that I would be able to go directly to see my grandfather.
The old turtle was hit by a stone, although the stone hit its tortoise shell, but it still hurt enough to choke, this guy immediately scolded, all kinds of ugly foul language like a machine gun shot out, I was glad that it was not me, but secretly afraid.
"No, we won't be able to hold on for long if we continue like this, we have to find a way to stop the demon bat's footsteps, even if it's a few seconds." The doctor gasped for breath as he ran, apparently still making it difficult for him to run at such a rapid speed on his back.
"This thing is copper-skinned and iron-clad, invulnerable, I'm afraid even bullets can't get in, what can be done?" I said in despair.
The doctor did not slow down, and a few jumps avoided the falling boulder, and asked me in a low voice, "What are the bats most afraid of?" ”
I was stunned, what are bats most afraid of? I said in my heart that I am not a biologist, so how do I know what bats are most afraid of? But I usually like to watch some science and education columns, especially the animal world, I remember a long time ago there was an issue about cave creatures, among which there are bats, it seems to say that snakes are the natural enemies of bats, but in terms of the size of the person behind us, how big a snake must be to match it? Besides, where do I go to find the snake at this time?
Seeing that I didn't understand what he meant, the doctor hurriedly explained: "Bats are burrowing nocturnal creatures, living in the dark all year round, relying on super echolocation to determine the location of their prey, their eyes have long been degraded, and strong light is their weakness. ”
After the doctor mentioned this, I suddenly suddenly, my heart said yes, if this demon bat retains the characteristics of a bat, it must also be afraid of strong light, now we are in the crack is pitch black, there is no trace of light source, we also rely on the light of the flashlight to barely see the way forward, at this time, if there is a burst of strong light suddenly appeared, stimulate the eyes of the demon bat, it can definitely make it fall into chaos, so that we can buy some time.
Strong light, strong light, where is the strong light?
I'm anxious, although we have a flashlight, the faint light of the flashlight will definitely not work, and it would be nice to have a miner's lamp at this time.
Just when I was so anxious that I lost my square inch, the doctor reminded him again: "Camera, where's your camera?" ”
"Camera? That's right! Camera, flash, flash...... "I suddenly realized, and hurriedly pulled my backpack, I must bring a camera when I go out, this has become my professional habit, I didn't expect to bring the right one this time.
The backpack was behind me, but due to the injury on my shoulder, I couldn't pull it off for a long time, but it caused the wound and a lot of blood flowed out.
The situation is getting worse and worse, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted at the old turtle who was still scolding: "Uncle Turtle, Uncle Turtle, don't scold your old man, help me open the bag, I want the camera inside!" ”
The old turtle stopped scolding and asked puzzledly, "Camera?" What is Camera? ”
I was choked up by his question, and I didn't know how to answer, so I had to say, "You don't care what it is, quick, so that we can get out of the crisis, help me get the black lump out of my bag." ”
The old turtle seemed a little reluctant, but he also knew that the situation we were in at the moment was not good, and after muttering, he still grabbed my hair and crawled behind me, and after rubbing for a while, it took the camera strap in its mouth, and really helped me take out the camera.
I didn't care how he did it, so I took the camera from his mouth, turned my head to the demon bats that were diving towards us, turned off the flashlight, and the whole canyon was plunged into absolute darkness.
I pressed the shutter suddenly, and suddenly a dazzling flash lit up in the canyon, and I heard the demon bat let out a painful wail, the flash brightened up quickly, and went quickly, and the canyon fell into darkness again, but I heard a series of violent crashes, the sound of rocks falling to the ground, and the screams of demon bats, and the chaos was incomparable.
I turned on the flashlight again, and when I looked back, I found that the flash of the camera really worked, although this demon bat was made by a lame horse, but the black magic used by the lame horse not only gave him the body and strength of a flesh-winged ghost bat, but also allowed him to inherit the habit of being afraid of light.
The demon bat fell to the ground, and our crisis was temporarily resolved, and the doctor did not dare to stop for a single step, and continued to run forward.
Without the demon bat's block, our speed was more than doubled, and soon we reached the end of the rift, but I was not happy at all, and my heart sank to the bottom.
The end of the crack did not lead to the outside, and my expectations were disappointed, and in front of us was another huge valley, not far larger than the Demon Valley.
The pit is not enclosed, there is light pouring down from above, but these rays are very faint and can only be barely seen, indicating that the top of the pit is very far from the bottom, and it is definitely not an easy thing to climb out of here.
I swept through the huge pit at a glance, and I saw neither the missing children nor the Taoist priests, and the whole pit took on a spiral structure, circle after circle, gradually growing larger from bottom to top, like several millstones of different sizes superimposed on top of each other.
Each lap of rock was embedded with countless large black chains, forming a criss-crossing network of iron chains, all of which converged in one place, the circular stone platform at the lowest point in the center of the pit.
Although I didn't see the Taoist priest, I saw a graying skeleton in the center of the circular stone platform, and the limbs of the horse on which the skeleton sat were locked by chains extending from the rock plate, and all parts of the body were wrapped tightly with chains.
The skeleton itself was also covered with black locks, one hand was raised high, and in the hand it held a bronze spear of vicissitudes, and there was another skeleton at the tip of the spear, compared to the majesty and height of the centaur skeleton, the skeleton in the half-decayed Taoist robe seemed a little small.
This was the illusion of the visual gap, but in fact, the skeleton in the robe was about the same size as ours.
The tip of the bronze spear was against the forehead of the robe skeleton, and the right hand of the centaur skeleton holding the spear was entangled by more than a dozen black iron chains, but even so, more than half an inch of spear tip pierced into the forehead, which should be the reason for this person's death.
On the other hand, the skeleton of the Taoist robe, the phalanges of his right hand were pressed against the forehead of the centaur skeleton, and there was a palm-sized yellow talisman between his fingertips and the skull of the centaur skeleton.
I was shocked by the sight of the scene, and I was sure that the skeleton on the stone platform was the one I had seen in the cave, but how could he be here? Hasn't that centaur skeleton merged into the body of the demon bat and turned into the monster that chased and killed us?
My mind was in a mess, I couldn't figure out the situation at all, and I subconsciously wanted to go up and take a closer look at the two skeletons, and as soon as my feet moved, I remembered that I was still on the doctor's back, and hurriedly asked him to put me down.
At this time, my body is extremely weak, maybe as long as a slightly stronger wind comes, it can to the ground, at this time it is really not appropriate to move anymore, but there is a voice in my heart, that voice is calling me, calling me to remove the yellow charm in front of the forehead of the centaur skeleton.
I felt as if my consciousness was out of control, and my eyes began to blur, and I glared in a daze, as I walked towards the locked skeleton in the center.
But at this moment, as soon as the angry shouts sounded, I was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and I woke up all of a sudden, and I instantly felt a cold sweat break out on my back, and hurriedly retreated.
