Chapter Ninety-Three: Desperate Survival
My face changed slightly, and Yang Shu had a hellish expression: "Didn't you say that there is still half an hour?" ”
"I don't know how many years this guy has been dormant, and the people lying under the ground are about to petrify, and you still don't allow people to warm up?"
As we spoke, we both got up quickly, feeling trembling under our feet, but we couldn't tell where the source came from.
I pointed to the altar in the middle: "Quick, that place is solid!" ”
He was so badly injured that he could only be carried by me, limping up to the altar.
After a long time, I finally reached the top of the altar, and the solid stone platform under my feet gave me some confidence.
This altar is divided into nine layers, the slope is not steep, there is a slow platform in the middle of each layer, but it is still nearly twenty meters high when superimposed, the upper circle and the lower part of the implicit meaning of the heaven and the round place, the bottom layer is only four sides, but the top floor is divided into eight exits, it should be in all directions, in terms of specifications, this altar is definitely not much worse than the Temple of Heaven in the same period.
The bodies of Matsuhama and the griffin fell to the southeast corner of the altar, and they had fallen into a puddle of mud, and the flesh and blood could no longer be separated from each other, so I shoveled them aside to save myself from the way, and then rummaged through my backpack, looked for something, and began to set the trap.
The trap I said is also a formation, but it is not as harsh and rigorous as the Daomen formation, and it has always been ridiculed by the Daomen as a wild way.
But for us, it's just a matter of being good, and there are so many rules.
After a while, I used a boning knife to draw a gossip-like pattern on the stony ground, and the four boning knives were divided into four directions, and an ambush was set up with Yin Feng Beans on all sides.
As soon as I straightened up, the frogs in the ground began to chirp again, and the muffled sound shook the altar!
The poplar tree was unsteady at his feet and planted to the side, and I hurried over to hold him and pull him into the middle of the rejection.
"It's coming out, you sit, brother try it."
"Senior brother, why don't you open the seal of Zou Yan's tomb, maybe the things inside can help."
I shook my head slightly: "Zou Yan is also one of our Xuanmen ancestors, if we dig his grave, the sky will not bless us." ”
It's not that I'm conservative, but I know that even if it's really Zou Yan's tomb down there, and there are treasures in the tomb, it's not something we can play with when we get our hands on it, I can't even recognize the text of the Warring States Period, how can I expect something there to save my life?
Seeing that I refused, Poplar did not insist anymore.
At this time, the ground began to tremble incessantly, trembling so that the flesh on the human face was shaking.
The blood moon overhead was rounding, and the red moonlight shone through the skylight, which happened to shine on the altar, and our faces were slightly red.
In the face of the coming end, we are all in the mood to speak.
Thousands of years of demons, none of us have ever seen them.
But thinking about Huang Daxing's more than 100 years of Taoism almost drove us to a dead end, it is not difficult to imagine how terrible this thing will be.
Suddenly, a muffled thunderous croaking of frogs rang in my ears!
Wail......
The sound was several times higher than just now, and it shook my head and made me dizzy, and the sand and stones on the four walls of the cave rolled down one after another.
I know it's really coming this time.
Holding my foot, I slowly pulled out the barrel of the knife and released all the Seven Weapons.
Three-edged thorns, ox-eared sharp knives, and featherless arrows all circled in the air, and the cold light flickering on the blades was sharp and agile.
I took my eyes back from them, and prayed in my heart that this might be the last battle, and that I would leave everything to you.
Immediately after, the ground shook violently!
At the foot of the altar, a stone's throw away, the stone bricks suddenly crumbled, and the ground was arched into a crack shaped like a huge spider's web, and the center arched more than three feet high, like a huge stalagmite.
I hurriedly dragged the poplar tree that was staggering to my feet behind me: "Don't be reckless, I'll come first." ”
Before the words could be spoken, a deafening croaking of frogs came from below.
With a loud bang, the crack completely burst open, and a white gas rose into the sky!
Immediately after, a huge frog's head poked out of the ground, it was amazingly large, a head alone was about the size of a beetle car, and its dark red skin was covered with earthy yellow markings, similar to that of a tiger. The eyes are like lanterns, and there are a pair of huge horns like buffaloes on the top of their heads, black and shiny, and the translucent skin of the cheeks is bulging one after another, and the top is densely covered with fiery red scales.
Sure enough, it's a horned yin toad!
It's different from what I imagined to be a big wind in the clouds, the moment it came out, it was a heat wave!
The extremes of things must be reversed, the cathode is yang, this product is really cultivated!
I took a half step back and reminded the poplar in a deep voice: "Beware of fire poison. ”
Before I could finish speaking, the horned yin toad was already eyeing me.
What does it mean to look at the substance?
It's when it looks at you, you will feel a pain like a pinprick on your body!
But when it turned around, it stared at the whirling weapons flying around me.
I saw its wide mouth move slightly, a blood-red thick tongue flashed with lightning, and the heat wave rolled up like a flame, although it only passed me, half of my body's clothes actually burst into flames!
My yang energy shook out, and the flames dissipated, but in the blink of an eye, three of the seven weapons were swept away by its tongue!
As Poplar and I stared at it in amazement, its throat squirmed, and it swallowed the weapon into its stomach with a grunt.
Then, its huge eyes rolled, and it looked like it was still unsatisfied.
Without saying a word, I beckoned and put all the weapons back!
This is a treasure that I have saved so hard, and I can use it for hard work, but I can't make food for it in vain.
As soon as I moved, its eyes immediately turned to me.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I grabbed the poplar tree and fell directly to the ground.
Just as we pounced, a heat wave rolled overhead!
For a moment, I felt the smell of burnt pig hair wafting from the back of my head.
When I touched the back of my head, I was half bald, and I had a big blister.
At this moment, the poplar turned and tried to get up.
I hurriedly pressed him: "Don't move, it can only see things that move." ”
At this moment, I remembered that the vision of a toad only senses moving objects, and although this thing has become a fine, it is still a toad after all.
Sure enough, after the two of us lay down and didn't move, the big tongue that killed us didn't hit again.
There was a snoring sound below, and then there was a sound of earth and rock cracking, and the goods completely broke out of the ground!
I crept up a little and looked down to see it slowly climbing up the altar.
Clumsy as a pig!
Maybe it's because I'm so fat that I can't jump at all.
This gave me another glimmer of hope that if we escaped from the reach of its tongue, at its speed, even if the poplar limped, it would not be able to catch up with us. But in the turn of his mind, he couldn't help but feel a burst of despair.
What's the use of being able to run, the key is to know where to run!
As I turned my mind, the altar beneath me trembled suddenly, and with every step it took, it shook as if it were about to collapse.
I couldn't help but look again, only to see that it was about to climb to the middle of the altar, after all, it was too big, and the span of each step was not small, and at this speed, it should be able to climb up in more than ten seconds.
But at this glance, I suddenly saw a glimmer of life.
The hole where it climbed out was gushing with water, probably connected to an underground river.
The more I thought about it, the more I was surprised, if it weren't for the underground water system, how could this thing have been lurking underground for thousands of years without moving? If there is water, there may be a way to live!
Maybe it's because of the hope of life, my brain has become flexible.
I've been wondering just now, the cave floor is so big, how could this thing happen to come out close to the altar?
But thinking about it at the moment, this is no coincidence, it really can't see us underground, but the demon clan's sensitivity to breath is far beyond our imagination, it must be our breath that attracts it.
But now that we have clearly reined in the breath of the whole body, why is it still climbing up?
I struggled to turn my head around and caught a glimpse of the backpack I had just picked up, Poplar's.
Everything around it was burned by the heat of its tongue, but the backpack was intact.
"Python beads! The python beads of the pangolin are in the bag! ”
The doubts in my heart suddenly came to pass.
The toad and the snake are born enemies, and this horned toad and the pangolin python both live in the abyss of the toad cellar, it is estimated that it has been "old and good" hundreds of thousands of years ago, but the pangolin python is definitely not its opponent, perhaps it has been hiding in the hole to make it helpless, and now the breath of the pangolin suddenly appeared here, how can it not be excited.
Thinking of this, I slapped Poplar's buttocks: "Quick, your bag!" ”
Yang Shu hurriedly reached out and pulled the bag over, I didn't take the python beads in the bag, but took out the rope inside, tied it to the bag, and then threw the bag out in the other direction.
As expected, the fat toad below made a move, and then crawled in the direction of the backpack.
I was overjoyed, and quickly pulled the poplar up, took advantage of the fat toad's back to us, and pointed to the huge hole under the altar that was still bubbling out of the water: "Jump in, hold your breath and float with the water, whether you succeed or not, it depends on this fight." ”
Seeing that the fat toad was not very far from the backpack, he was hesitating and hesitating, I knew that our time was running out, and if we waited for it to figure out the mystery and swallow the backpack in one gulp before turning back, it would be difficult for us to run again.
I don't know if I used the wrong force when I pulled the poplar just now, or if he was so badly injured that he couldn't even move his feet at this time.
In my anxiety, I suddenly remembered the proverb I got when I entered the mountain!
"Get out! Get down! ”
I grabbed him, rolled over and rolled under the altar!
Fortunately, the stone steps were not very steep, and we rolled all the way to the edge of the hole, and although we were dizzy and stumbled, we did not suffer any more hard injuries, and I looked at the fat toad, and saw that it had tentatively stuck out its tongue into the backpack.
I didn't even think about it, so I shook the rope in my hand and the backpack flew towards me with a whizz.
I didn't hesitate any longer, grabbed the rope, hugged the poplar, and plunged headlong into the hole.
