Chapter 014: Xia Yu sacrificed himself to block poisonous arrows

When we ran forward frantically, we only heard the sound of "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" when the arrows continued to shoot out behind us, and the sound of the tail of the arrow trembling when the arrow was nailed to the opposite stone wall. In addition, the proprietress itself is not very good, so they gradually slowed down.

It seemed that the two of them couldn't run, Yang Wanjun and the second brother hurriedly picked up one on their backs and rushed forward quickly, Xiaoya helped me take care of Qianqian and continued to run forward quickly, the shadow continued to open the road in front, paying attention to the movement in front from time to time while running, and the pistol in his hand was also ready to shoot at any time.

After Xia Yu and I were still broken, I listened to the sound behind me while running, judging how far away the arrows were from us, I estimated that they should be less than a meter away from me and Xia Yu, but fortunately, the speed at which the eyes of those strange stones on both sides of the passage opened was fixed, after all, it was a mechanism, but it was mechanically executed in accordance with the pre-set order, but the wind behind those arrows when they flew at high speed could still feel like a piece of knife slashing behind their backs, which showed that the texture of those arrows was quite hard and the speed was also extremely fast.

During this period, I also tried to look back, but as soon as I turned around, because I couldn't see the steps in front of me, my instinctive speed was slow, and a black arrow flew over at high speed by grazing my cheek, although the arrow did not directly hit my cheek, but the wind suddenly cut a small hole in my face, I only felt that my face was hot, and I quickly turned my face back, and continued to chase the second brother in front of them and rushed forward.

After that, I didn't dare to look back, but as long as we continue to maintain this speed, it shouldn't be a big problem, although this road is all steps, not as suitable for running as flat ground, but fortunately, each step of the steps is more spacious, as long as you stare at running, it is not enough to break your feet, I feel that the passage is constantly going downhill, we should have been running deep underground, what I am worried about now is that if the passage is too long, everyone will inevitably lose their physical strength, a little negligence, once they fall, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In the process of running, the afterglow of one side of my eyes inadvertently found that the dense ancient fonts on the wall on the side of the passage seemed to be moving, I was surprised to look at the slightly side face, and was surprised to find that those originally weird and unrecognizable fonts, under the illumination of the night pearl, some strokes actually turned silvery-white, and as I ran, these silver-white strokes were cleverly connected into a graphic, not very obvious, but I still keenly captured, a bit similar to the playback principle of cartoons, I took a closer look, It is constantly demonstrating the formation process of a figure, and this figure is very much like a phoenix with wings spread high.

About every twenty or thirty meters or so, I repeated the demonstration again, so in my mind has deeply remembered this figure, after all, I have been doing design for so many years, I am particularly sensitive to graphics, I don't know how long I have been running, the body has been a little numb, just mechanically controlled the legs to run, at this time, the shadow in front of me suddenly exclaimed: "Not good, no way!" ”

I followed the shout of the shadow and looked forward, and I was shocked when I saw it, fifty meters in front of us, there was a door, the carved texture on it was very cumbersome, it was not ordinary at first glance, and the texture was extremely strong, it was estimated that there was no * that could not be exploded, there was an oval pit in the middle of the door, and on both sides of the door were many extremely ancient oval small bronze mirrors, and there were extremely cumbersome relief decorations around the mirror, which was very exquisite, and we could see our running figure in the bronze mirror. If we don't open this door when we run to us, we'll be killed by the black arrows that come out of it, and it's a very urgent situation.

I knew that since it was a door, it would be able to be opened, but the problem was that the door was very strange, there was no keyhole at all, and even if there was a keyhole, we didn't have a key at all, and we didn't know how to open it, so even if there was a door, it was still a dead end, and my brain was thinking quickly, constantly scanning the door and both sides of the door, trying to find useful clues, or find out the hidden mechanism.

At this time, we were less than twenty meters away from the door, and we were about to reach the door, but I still didn't see any useful hints, and at this time, Qianqian suddenly exclaimed: "There is a hidden pattern on the bottom of the third row on the left side of the door, which seems to be a phoenix!" ”

Listening to Qianqian's shout, I suddenly remembered that the ancient fonts in the channel just now in the process of my running, the graphics that kept being demonstrated were that a small dot flew into the middle of a square text, and then the square text gradually evolved into a very complex figure, now take a closer look, isn't it just a phoenix!

Suddenly, I suddenly realized, and hurriedly shouted: "Shadow, quickly take off the bronze mirror that Qianqian said and put it into the pit in the middle of the door, quick!" ”

The shadow had already run to the door, was stroking the texture on the door as if trying to study how to open, listened to my words, without the slightest hesitation, rushed to the mirror on the left Qianqian said, squatted down and pulled out the bronze mirror suddenly, stood up, aimed the copper mirror at the pit in the middle of the door, and inserted it hard, only to hear, a series of clicking sounds from inside the door, and then the door slowly opened.

At this time, we had already rushed to the door, and at the moment when the door opened, the eyes on the walls of the passage on both sides of the door suddenly opened, and Xia Yu and I were at the end, so I could see more clearly, so I shouted: "Jump up and rush forward into the gate!" After speaking, Xia Yu and I jumped up together, and the second brother and Yang Wanjun also instinctively jumped forward, and flew into the gate with Brother Qiang and the proprietress respectively, Xiaoya hugged Qianqian and jumped up.

Since Xia Yu and I were at the rear, when we jumped up and flew into the air in front of the door, black arrows had been shot out of the eyes of those open stones, and we couldn't control our bodies to dodge in the air, only to hear a sharp "ding", Xia Yu suddenly waved his hand and knocked out a black arrow that was shooting at my chest with a pistol, but I saw that his leg was still shot by the last black arrow.

When we fell to the ground in embarrassment, the gate behind us began to slowly close again, and at the moment of closing, I saw that the mural on the top of the passage suddenly shattered, and a lot of viscous yellow liquid leaked down again, and bubbled towards the gate on our side, obviously the passage just now was also completely buried, according to the time we ran just now, and the distance, I deduced that we should have run to more than 300 meters underground.

After I landed, I instinctively quickly glanced around, in case there was some mechanism or something attacking us, fortunately, the surroundings were very quiet, there was no sound, like a forest, it seemed that the area was not small, but because this space was too large, although the ground was also dotted with many night pearls, but we still couldn't see very far, especially from the heights, the ground was a piece of purple soil, with a faint fragrance, and it was very soft to the touch, so although we fell heavily on the ground just now, it didn't hurt, Every night pearl is embedded in a purple root carving-like base, simple and elegant, leading to reverie.

When Xia Yu landed, it happened to smash on a night pearl, making a cracking sound, I thought Xia Yu's leg was broken, and hurriedly looked at him, he turned around, and took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket with great difficulty, it was broken, it turned out that it was just knocked on the pocket when it landed just now, and I threw it away, I quickly stood up and rushed to Xia Yu's side, and the shadow also hurriedly ran over, carefully tore Xia Yu's trouser leg, opened the backpack, took out the emergency light inside, and carefully checked Xia Yu's wound, at this moment, I'm glad that Shadow was able to join our team in the first place, and with him as a medic here, we won't be helpless in the face of these troubles.

I walked to Qianqian's side again, helped Qianqian sit up, and gently wiped off the purple soil stuck to her face, Qianqian also looked at me affectionately, smiled gently, gently helped me pat the dirt off my body with both hands, and tidied up my messy collar, I had an illusion, as if I was a husband who was about to go out to work, and my wife was sending me to the door, and was gently and virtuously helping me tidy up the suit on my body, I couldn't help but gently hold her hand, naturally held her in my arms, and kissed her lightly on the mouth, Qianqian looked around, lowered her head a little embarrassed, I also reacted immediately, a little out of shape, and quickly glanced around, fortunately, everyone else was busy and didn't pay attention to us.

I let go of Qianqian in my arms, glanced at the others, Brother Qiang sat on the ground and coughed desperately, obviously it was also caused by the rush all the way to cause the body to be extremely tired, the proprietress took care of him carefully beside him, patted him gently with her hand, and gently stroked it from top to bottom, from her eyes, in addition to worry, there was also a trace of distress, that is a kind of emotion that will only be revealed when you love someone deeply, it seems that Brother Qiang and the boss lady also have an unknown relationship.

Yang Wanjun also glanced at Brother Qiang worriedly nearby, but she was relieved to see that the proprietress was taking care of her, and continued to look around vigilantly, this is also her occupational disease, as a personal guard of important VIPs, every time she arrives in an unfamiliar environment, she must first familiarize herself with the environment as soon as possible, study possible emergencies, and think about preparations for various emergencies in advance.

The second brother was checking the rest of the backpack and counting the items, and the things I asked him to prepare before were also lost when he fled urgently, but it didn't matter at this time, after all, life was at stake at that time, in order to reduce the weight of Brother Qiang and the boss's wife, he could run faster, so he could only discard those backpacks, but fortunately, there was a backpack that was full of food, and it was almost intact, so I asked Xiaoya and Qianqian to spread a tablecloth on the table on the ground, put the food on the table, and take advantage of the shadow to check Xia Yu's wounds, and everyone ate something.

The road behind should still be very difficult, only to eat enough, repair it well, and then move on, at this time, Xia Yu snorted, I looked back and saw that it was the shadow who cut Xia Yu's wound with a knife, and pulled out the arrow, I saw that at the moment when the arrow was pulled out, blood shot out, fortunately, it was red, obviously the arrow was not poisonous, the shadow quickly wrapped the wound for Xia Yu, Xia Yu was fine, and it was a blessing in misfortune, just when we were all relieved and ready to eat, A strange cry came from the depths of the woods, and everyone's hearts were lifted again......
