Chapter 085: Desperate Situation
Originally, there was no way to retreat, but now that the pool behind him was frozen, and he didn't know if he could bear the weight of the two of them, without a choice, Han Wei and Lao Zheng immediately ran towards Shimen.
Fortunately, the ice was very thick, and it completely withstood Han Wei and Lao Zheng, and at a distance of a few meters, they had already arrived in front of the stone gate. The stone door was closed, and there was only a small gap that could not be put into it with fingers, so it could only be pried with a short sword.
The giant snake caught up again, only on the surface of the pool, the ice on the surface of the crack, when most of the giant snake's body came up, the ice suddenly toppled, there was a pit of about one meter, the giant snake's body fell, because the body was too long, did not fall completely, was stuck in the middle. The giant snake immediately twisted its body, and its tail struck the ice, only to once dense cracks appeared in the ice of the entire pool.
Han Wei and Lao Zheng are the same, one of the positions can still see the pond, the ice can't support it for long, and all hopes are pinned on whether the stone gate can be opened. Han Wei pryed the short sword hard, the stone gate did not move at all, Lao Zheng looked for whether there was a mechanism on the side, but he also didn't find it, there was no extra time for them, the ice was completely shattered, and Han Wei and Lao Zheng fell into the pool.
As soon as he entered the water, Han Wei was fine, Lao Zheng did not have the support of the white jade ring, and the biting chill invaded, instantly pouring into the whole body, the whole body was numb, and there was no need for a trace of strength. Lao Zheng sank down quickly, even if there were protruding steps on the stone wall next to him, he couldn't reach out and grab it.
Han Wei sank into the water, he didn't have to worry about the cold, he reacted quickly, and immediately swam towards Lao Zheng, it was very dark below, and he could only look for it by the light emitted by the eyes of the giant snake, and he grabbed Lao Zheng at a position of about five or six meters underwater, and suddenly fell into the water, Han Wei did not suffocate, he was also under huge pressure, and he dragged Lao Zheng hard, and the pressure increased several times, and in an instant, he felt like he was about to suffocate.
Under the strong desire to survive, Han Wei's body erupted with a force, and his body went up mechanically without falling. The moment Lao Zheng was dragged, the warm current of Bai Yujie also flowed, and his body gradually recovered, even if his consciousness was not yet conscious, his instinctive reaction was also upstream, which relieved Han Wei a lot of pressure.
The giant snake fell into the water with Han Wei and Lao Zheng, but it was not afraid of the cold of the water, and it was water-based, and its speed was a few points faster than on land. The giant snake attacked Han Wei and the two again, and the distance of a few meters was only a matter of moments, but suddenly a group of fist-sized fish swam out, and they were not afraid of the giant snake, and quickly surrounded the giant snake.
These fish are not large, but their heads are so large that they occupy two-thirds of their entire body. The fish has sharp teeth and a hideous expression, which should be a group of piranhas. Piranhas are extremely ferocious, ordinary fish and humans can be torn apart in an instant, everything that lives underwater is prey for them, since they are all prey, how can they be afraid.
The speed of the piranha is also very fast, actively attacking the giant snake, in a relatively small space, with the huge size of the giant snake, it is impossible to completely dodge, and soon hundreds of positions on the snake's body have left traces of piranhas.
The scale armor of the giant snake was too hard for the piranha to tear open, and the giant snake only endured a certain amount of biting force and did not receive substantial damage. The dagger is definitely sharper than the piranha's teeth, and it can't even break through the scale armor, and now this result, there is nothing to be surprised about. The serpent's low roar rang out, and each time it sounded, it signaled a powerful attack.
Seeing the white substance appear, it dissipated as soon as it came into contact with the water, and the pool water was not frozen, but all the piranhas stagnated, as if they were frozen, and they were greeted by the tail of the snake that swept in. The piranha that was pumped by the snake's tail immediately burst into the body, only to see clumps of flesh and blood, the blood spread, and the pool turned red in the blink of an eye. The thick smell of blood came, and the piranhas that were still alive not only did not retreat, but were aroused by the agitation, and all of them attacked the position of the snake's head.
The giant snake and the piranha below fought, Han Wei and Lao Zheng were temporarily ignored, holding on to the stone wall to rest, with plenty of respite, and all physical and mental functions were recovering rapidly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he began to try to open the stone door again, and the short sword was still stuck in the stone crevice, but it was not lost.
The stone door could not be opened by prying, and his body could not exert his strength in the water, so Han Wei could only give up after trying a few times. Could it be that the stone door can't be opened? Han Wei stopped and began to think of other ways, and suddenly thought that the giant snake couldn't spare time to deal with them for the time being, and it was okay to leave now, so he hurriedly said: "Time is running out, do you want to leave now." ”
Lao Zheng was also hesitating, whether to retreat or not, depending on the situation, the piranha would soon be killed, and he couldn't hesitate any longer, and said, "You go first, I'll follow." ”
Walking behind, once the giant snake solves the piranha, it will be attacked first, and in the small space, there is no way to retreat, and most of what awaits him is to be killed in an instant. Han Wei will not let Lao Zheng take the biggest danger, Lao Zheng will not move, and he will not move.
"You're leaving, there's no time." Lao Zheng almost yelled out, looking very angry.
Han Wei didn't speak, just looked at Lao Zheng, and had already expressed his attitude. Lao Zheng knew Han Wei's character very well, and wanted to say something more, but in the end he was silent, and he couldn't delay, and immediately leaned against the stone wall to walk around the giant snake. Han Wei saw that Lao Zheng was gone, so he followed, and the two of them moved forward as fast as they could, and they didn't worry about making a big move, at this time the piranha was in a state of madness, and every attack was suicidal, and although the giant snake had an absolute advantage, it also began to roar in pain.
The giant snake noticed the departure of Han Wei and the others, and flew out of the water violently, still carrying the piranha that was biting tightly. The giant snake stood on the surface of the water, its claws struck the surface of the water, and immediately a wave appeared, rising in front of Han Wei and Lao Zheng, blocking the way of the two. The waves were immediately photographed, facing Han Wei and Lao Zheng, the waves covered the entire waterhole, and there was no room to hide. When the waves fell, Han Wei and Lao Zheng immediately dived underwater, avoiding the biggest impact.
The two were pushed back a few meters, and they had already reached the side of the giant snake, if it weren't for the piranhas that were still alive jumped out of the water, biting the giant snake, and restraining it, as long as the snake's tail swept over, it would definitely be a dead end.
Han Wei and Lao Zheng leaned against the stone wall with their backs, wanting to continue moving forward, but another wave struck, and the whole body of the giant snake hit the water surface, like a bomb, with a loud "bang", and the huge wave occupied the entire waterhole. Han Wei and Lao Zheng didn't have a chance to dive into the water, they had already been hit by the waves and flew out several meters. Han Wei smashed directly on the stone door, and there was a dull sound from the stone door, but it actually opened, and under the powerful impact, Han Wei flew into the stone gate. After entering the stone gate for a moment, the stone gate slowly closed, presumably controlled by a mechanism.
Lao Zheng landed next to the stone gate, and when he saw the stone gate suddenly open, he was stunned at first, and then crawled towards the stone gate. The giant snake didn't pay much attention to the situation here, and when he found that the stone gate was open, Lao Zheng had already climbed up, his right hand against the stone gate, and his body entered sideways.
I didn't expect the stone gate to be pushed inside, due to fixed thinking, I didn't think of this, and wasted a lot of time in vain, if you enter at the beginning, the giant snake catches up at this time, and you may not be able to find the existence of the stone gate, after all, the other party is not a person.
The passage behind the stone gate can only be walked by one person, and the surrounding area is obviously artificially excavated, and the stone wall cannot be seen carefully, the stone gate has been closed, and there is no light emitted by the eyes of the giant snake, and it has fallen into the situation of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers. The short sword was still in his hand, and he didn't care about the damage, Han Wei dragged the sword away, the short sword slashed across the stone wall, drawing a string of sparks, and finally he could barely see the road clearly.
After walking twenty or thirty meters, I turned three corners, and there was another stone gate in front of me. Anyway, there was not enough light to check whether there were any mechanisms around, and without any hesitation, Han Wei reached out to push the stone door. Just in case, Han Wei blocked Lao Zheng behind him, even if he touched the mechanism, he could block it in front. Pushing the stone door, there was an immediate reaction, and the sound of creaking sounded, which was the sound of rubbing between stones. Continuing to increase his strength, the stone gate slowly opened, but in the next second, Han Wei stopped, with an incredible expression on his face.
In the crack where the stone door opened, there was a bright, yellow light, which suddenly brightened the passage. There is actually light, is it already an exit? Or is it inhabited? Or is it something special?
Lao Zheng's expression was also surprised, he couldn't know what was going on inside, and when he saw Han Wei's inquiring expression, he could only shake his head. Lao Zheng has always been a master and bold, and immediately stepped forward, forcibly pushed Han Wei behind him, and then pushed open the stone door.
The light became brighter and brighter, and soon, the entire passage was illuminated, and Han Wei and Lao Zheng also saw clearly behind the stone gate. It is still a karst cave, with steps piled up in the middle, and there is a sarcophagus at the top, and there is a lamp at each of the four corners under the sarcophagus, which should be made of bronze from a distance. The light shines from the bronze lamp, perhaps pushing open the stone door, creating a gust of wind, blowing the fire in the lamp, the swaying light, there is a feeling of flickering light and darkness.
A wave of yin qi struck, making people's hearts tighten, and their heartbeat suddenly plummeted, and they were about to suffocate, but after waiting for a few seconds, they suddenly accelerated again, breaking through at least two hundred per second, and it could explode at any time. At this time, a voice appeared in my ears, like a woman's cry, and as far as the eye could see, where there was a woman, unless, unless it was in a sarcophagus.
Could it be a woman in the sarcophagus? Can make a sound, is it still alive?
Han Wei thought in his heart, a woman in red appeared in his mind, with her back to him, unable to see her face clearly, there was only a layer of tulle on the woman's body, and she could vaguely see her plump body like jade, and suddenly a wave of blood surged into her heart, and she had a strong urge to step forward. After all, he still retained a bit of reason, and hurriedly shook his head vigorously, the voice that lingered in his ears disappeared, and the beautiful figure in his mind disappeared. Although it was just an imagination, I found that my whole body was already soaked, and my heart was still pounding. And it's not that he didn't step forward, at this time he was already very close to the sarcophagus.
The sarcophagus in front of him, as well as the flickering lights, seemed to be summoning, and Han Weicai's sober consciousness began to drift away again.
