Chapter 100: Breaking the Path
The Taoist priest talked eloquently, and the speculation he said about the secret of Yeling was sensational, and I felt chills all over my body, and my heart felt uncomfortable for a while. Just as I was immersed in this terrible deduction, there was a sudden rapid barking of the third child outside the entrance of the cave.
Wang, Wang, Wang......
I turned my head to look and saw the third child yelling at the bottom of the sinkhole in a defensive posture.
Lao San psychic, although it can't be as eloquent as the mythical and legendary dog demon, but its usual voice is very emotional, and the sound it screams is different under different emotions, such as when it is provoked by a Taoist priest and ready to bite, its cry is hoarse and low, and its eyes are full of fierce light. Therefore, even if we can't understand the dog's language, as long as we are very familiar with the third child, we can still roughly judge the meaning of it from the different barks.
At this moment, the third child's cry was very urgent, his voice had changed a little, and there was a trill, obviously it was very frightened. In connection with its vigilant action, I sighed in my heart, knowing that something was wrong, eighty percent of the sinkhole had changed, could it be that the ghost fire was burning?
Now the two of them were no longer in the mood to care about those living corpses, three steps and two steps, and soon came to the entrance of the cave, and looked down, only to see a gray mist slowly rising from under the sinkhole, and the ghost fire that filled the entire pit not long ago was all gone.
The Taoist priest and I looked at each other and were stunned, what is the situation?
The mist was the terrifying gray mist that could devour the flesh and blood of living beings that filled the underground forest, and it was under the influence of the gray fog that the giant bone skeleton appeared. I knew how terrible the gray fog was, so I was in a hurry to escape from the sinkhole, but then the Taoist priest lit the hell tree, and the terrifying ghost fire burned the bottom of the sinkhole, and I subconsciously thought that the gray mist was also burned by the ghost fire like the giant bone skeleton, but I didn't expect the fog to be unaffected by the ghost fire.
Looking at the situation under the pit, there is no fire, and I am afraid that the fire lit by the Taoist priest has been completely extinguished by the gray mist.
"Oops, the ghost fog is coming up, run quickly, otherwise the bloody road that you managed to rush out of will be blind." I shouted at the Taoist priest, and when I saw the gray mist, he was also surprised, and his face was even more ugly than mine.
I scolded the Taoist priest for not being righteous, and I didn't dare to delay, and the third child leaned down to continue to hum me. My leg injury is not light, I can't run fast, and I am not hypocritical at the moment, so I rode the third child and chased after the Taoist.
Originally, we were only 100 meters away from the vertical distance above the sinkhole, but the plank road twisted and turned, which invisibly increased this distance several times and slowed us down from leaving the sinkhole. But fortunately, the plank road is easy to walk, and the speed of running directly is not slower than the speed of the gray fog rising, which makes me greatly relieved and feel at ease.
One after another, we passed through several more hidden bone caves, and we didn't have much to do, and went straight through until we came to the bone cave where I had fallen before, and we had to stop.
It's not that we want to stop, it's that there's no way ahead.
I fell from the pit at the top of the cave, and I was trying to avoid the gray fog, but I fell down with one foot in the air, and then I found the plank path to the bottom of the pit, but I didn't notice if there was a plank path to the ground. Originally, I thought there must be, so I had hope to leave the sinkhole, but I didn't want to be realistic but gave me a resounding slap in the face, and it was a slap that could have killed me here.
Outside the bone cave, it was empty, and there was nothing to see except that kind of vine.
I was dumbfounded, and the Taoist priest was also confused, poked me and asked, "Hey, didn't you say that you can get out from the plank road, what about the plank road?" ”
I glanced at him with a wry smile and made a helpless gesture. The Taoist priest suddenly exploded, rushed to the edge of the cave and turned around, and turned all the vines attached to the cave entrance upside down, and indeed found nothing, he still didn't give up, rushed in, took out a flashlight and shone it up, this time I saw the deep pit on the top of the cave, but it was absolutely impossible to go up to that height.
"Immeasurable your uncle's Tianzun, woo, Master Zu, it's all on this, how can you be like this, isn't this playing with me?" The Taoist priest looked at the pit above his head in a daze, and let out an unwilling wail.
I was also depressed, but not as pessimistic as the Taoist priest, because there was another way to get out.
"Hey, can you fucking have some fun, don't howl, I still have a way out."
Hearing this, the Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and he rushed to my side and asked, "What's the way, say it quickly." ”
"Climb up!" I pointed to the dense vines hanging down at the entrance of the cave, and the Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed to the entrance of the cave and dragged the vines, and then looked down, his face suddenly gloomy.
Using vines to climb up is the only way I can think of, and the rope I tied should be able to be found at this height, so the chances of climbing up with both things are quite good. However, the Taoist priest's face made me feel very strange, and I hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
"What's the matter, come over and take a look at this situation, is it possible for the two of us to climb out?" The Taoist priest pointed to the bottom angrily and said, I hurriedly walked over, and at a glance, my face became ugly, I can indeed climb up with the use of vines, but I ignored a very serious problem. Gray fog, the gray fog in the sinkhole is less than ten meters away from us, according to its previous rising speed, it will take another four minutes at most, the fog will be able to rise to where we are now, and if we really use vines and ropes to climb, it is already against the sky to climb ten meters in five minutes, and the speed of the fog rising far exceeds the speed of our climbing, and then we will hang on the vines and be turned into white bones by the fog.
When I think about it, I shudder and dismiss the idea of climbing. But in this way, we have no way to escape, but to be trapped in the bone cave and wait for death.
"Perhaps, it's safe for us to stay in this cave!" The Taoist priest said this coldly.
I was stunned for a moment and asked him why he said that, and the Taoist priest explained that the corpses hanging on the stone wall of the bone cave we entered before were all living corpses, and the fog had only appeared once not long ago, but those living corpses were not atomized into bone caves by ash, which means that the fog did not enter the bone cave, otherwise what we saw would not be a living corpse but a skeleton.
I didn't expect the Taoist priest to think of this, sighed, and told him that when I entered the bone cave before, the corpses on the cave walls were all dried corpses, and as for the living corpses we saw, they should have been re-captured by those rhizomes during the period after I left.
The last bit of hope in the Taoist priest's heart was also destroyed by my words, and he suddenly sat down on a broken bone like a ball that had been drained of his strength.
