Frontier Secret Realm Chapter 17 Birthday Cake Mechanism
Seeing that our torches were getting weaker and weaker, the scorpions' attacks became a little frenzied.
Zhang Gen swept his torch out in three or two strokes, and several scorpions took advantage of the situation to climb up.
Unexpectedly, the remaining scorpions actually pounced and stung their tails directly through their pants.
In severe pain, I flicked my legs and threw them all aside, and then shouted: "San'er, block it for me, I was stung by a scorpion!" ”
When San'er heard this, he snatched my torch away, and swept the scorpion in front of me with a torch in one hand.
Tony tossed me a bottle of potion, and I took it and opened my pants and applied it without a word.
The stinging wound had begun to turn purple, and it seemed that the scorpions were indeed poisonous, and after I applied the potion, the purple color stopped spreading, but it didn't seem to have an immediate effect on the pain, so I tried to move, and I could barely move forward.
I shouted, "I can still walk, don't stop!" ”
But at this moment, the scorpions, which had been chasing closely, began to burrow into the sand one after another, and dispersed like a tide.
I hurriedly shouted, "Don't let your guard down, watch your step!" ”
While I don't think these scorpions are so intelligent that they can attack from underground, I'm not willing to let go of the possibility.
But after waiting for about a minute, there was no movement.
The old horse swallowed and said, "I said...... Gensheng, I don't look at these scorpions as if they are going to continue attacking, I look at ...... They're running for their lives......"
Escape?
After Lao Ma reminded him like this, in retrospect, those scorpions were indeed scattered.
Are they on the run? What are they afraid of, I looked around the crowd and didn't find anything unusual.
At this time, the sound of ghosts crying wolves in the devil's city sounded again, and the sound became louder and louder.
Are these scorpions afraid of this sound?
Zhang Genhuo rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother, why is the wind blowing stronger and stronger, and the sand on the ground is blowing." ”
", baba, what a big burst of sand, I said Gensheng, those scorpions can't be afraid of the wind, right?"
I was shocked, and when I saw that the temperature had dropped to 1 degree Celsius, I said, "This temperature drop is abnormal, could this be the demon wind that Uncle Habtu said?" ”
Lao Ma scolded: "Don't say it, Zhang Gensheng, you kid has always been a crow's mouth!" ”
My mouth seems to be always easy to say unfortunate things, just like when I was **Tai, I just said the word wild boar, and a big wild boar rushed out.
The temperature on the thermometer on my backpack dropped again, and it was already 0 degrees Celsius, and I hurriedly shouted, "Hurry! Come on! ”
I couldn't care about the wound on my leg, so I jumped forward so as not to slow down the progress of the army.
Although I don't know what is so thrilling about this demon wind, but when I encounter this kind of thing, I just need to run.
Suddenly, a great gust of wind blew and blew the whole body of the people, and the rolled sand hit us all over.
From this gust of wind, the intensity of the wind suddenly reached a very violent level, let alone running forward, everyone is now moving forward.
The wind carried a large amount of coarse and fine sand, which affected the vision and stinged the face.
I tried to shout everyone together, but before I could say anything, I was poured into a mouthful of sand.
I had to cover my mouth with my sleeve and shout desperately: "Go to the wall ahead!" ”
But at this time, not only the sound of the wind, but also the sound of those ghosts crying in the Devil's City was already very loud, and everyone couldn't hear what I said.
In this case, you must not disperse, and my mouth is dry for a while.

I had no choice but to shake the flashlight in their eyes.
Everyone was stunned by me and looked at me with angry eyes.
Finally caught your attention.
I pointed my flashlight at the ruins of a city wall with one hand and pointed there with the other.
Everyone seemed to understand what I meant, and they walked towards the wall.
When I got to the bottom of the walls, I took two quick breaths, damn it, I was almost suffocating in this windy situation.
I didn't have time to clean the sand from my mouth and nose, so I hurriedly took out the down jacket from my backpack and shrunk into a ball after putting it on.
The temperature above the thermometer has dropped to minus 2 degrees, and at this level, it can freeze.
Everyone gradually shrank together, which would be a little warmer.
We covered our mouths and noses with the fabric we could use, and just huddled together, and no one spoke.
After about 20 minutes, I felt that my physical strength was losing a little quickly, my stomach was already rumbling, and my hands and feet were numb from the cold.
This operation was really worth it, in just one day, from autumn to early winter, and then to Sanjiu.
It's been a long time since I've looked at the thermometer, it's not that I don't care about the current temperature, it's that we've been almost buried by fools.
None of us meant to move, so covered by sand, there was no need to collect the wind and cold wind.
No wonder Uncle Habtu said that you must run when you meet the demon wind, it turns out that the demon wind means this, the yellow sand is rolling, and the temperature plummets.
In this bad weather, if you are not fully prepared for protection, you will definitely be frozen to death by this gale.
But even if we were well prepared, everyone had a thickened version of the down jacket in a vacuum bag.
But Rao is like this, I feel that if this wind does not listen, we will not be able to hold it for two hours at most.
As the sand on my body accumulated, I gradually lost feeling my hands and feet.
Suddenly, I don't know if it's my mental effect, I feel like we're sinking down.
I struggled to turn my head to look at the crowd, and the smooth sand between us had actually broken a bit.
At this moment, everyone collectively sank down again, and this time it was obvious to me, and everyone looked around in amazement.
Is it really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and at this time it collapsed for me?
If this sinks, I'm afraid it's really going to die.
I shouted with all my might: "Find a way, run!" ”
There was some leeward wind under the walls, and I don't know if they heard me shouting, but I was already trying to push the sand off my body anyway.
But I didn't move a few times, I just felt a lightness in my body, and the yellow sand immediately flooded the top of my head.
it, I'm going to be buried alive!
As the feeling of free fall became more and more apparent, there was only one thought in my head.
In the blink of an eye, I slammed into the ground, and the yellow sand on it quickly filled the gap, as if there had never been a hole there.
The screams came and went, and it seemed that everyone had the same experience as me, but fortunately, the screams were not very long, and no one seemed to be hurt.
I flipped my flashlight and thought to myself that this was a novelty, that there was such a large space under the Devil's City, and I continued to look at the place where we had fallen, and there was a system of supports that seemed to be made of wood, and the wood was made of some unknown material and resembled a net-like structure.
"! There is also such a place, Gensheng, saying that I use other caves to describe it, is it wrong? ”
The old horse shouted in surprise: "Eh, I say, the wood on it is not strong, don't fucking collapse and bury us alive!" ”
I said:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"These wooden frames must have been a long time ago, maybe ......"
Before I finished speaking, the old horse suddenly pushed me and said, "Don't talk, you kid, you crow's mouth!" ”
"Bastard, come here."
I turned around to see Tony waving at me in front of a large cylindrical pile of rocks.
As I heard the sound, Tony tapped the stone building in front of him with a folding fan and said, "This might be the real entrance to Devil's Town." ”
"You mean it's a bracket?"
"Not bad."
When I looked up, there were three parts to it, and the bottom two layers were cylinders, stacked in gradients.
And the cylinder above has four pieces of wood inserted into it.
It's a bit weird, but it looks like I've seen it somewhere.
"Brother, why do you think this thing looks like a birthday cake?"
That's right, after Zhang Genhuo reminded me of this, I realized that this thing really looks like a double-layered birthday cake.
As if I was hungry just now, I simply pulled out a compressed biscuit and ate it.
I said vaguely, "Well, Brother To, if this birthday cake is really a machine, you can see if you can crack it." ”
Tony stretched out his right hand and began to rub against the stone.
"If we can know, we can break it."
As he spoke, he pressed down a stone on it, creating a gap.
A fine stream of sand immediately gushed out of the gap and flowed to the ground.
In this kind of scene, the granary in the countryside is very similar.
The old horse couldn't help but sigh again: ", dare to love this is a sand warehouse!" ”
Tony began to circle around the "sand barn", pressing his hands one after another, and the speed of the sand's exile continued to increase.
I put the last bite of the compressed biscuit in my mouth, and the damn thing was so dry that I had to take out the second pot and take a big sip, thinking as I drank, what would happen if all the sand in this thing was gone?
As if to confirm my thoughts, the sand flowing from those holes gradually turned from gurgling to falling trivial.
It's basically clean.
At this moment, the four pieces of wood stuck on the top, like birthday candles, made a "click" sound.
"Dodge, dodge, don't smash!"
With the sound, the four pieces of wood began to descend slowly, as if their roots had been cut off, and after a while, they actually changed from vertical to horizontal.
"Brother, it doesn't seem to have changed."
I walked around the sand barn, and I didn't see anything resembling an entrance.
Don't...... Is this really a fucking sand warehouse for storing sand?
Storing sand in the desert, I feel like my IQ has been insulted.
Tony reminded, "Go up and have a look." ”
San'er didn't wait for me to speak, he ran up like a monkey, then shone it with a flashlight, turned around and said calmly: "There is a hole in it." It's empty down there. ”
Tony also took out the second pot head, and with a haughty look of "as I expected", I hurriedly went up and touched the bottle with him.
From the time he stepped on the yellow scorpion to the present, the green rhino remained silent until he discovered the hole, and he seemed to forget the mistake he had just made, and shouted noisily: "What are you waiting for, go down with Lao Tzu!" ”
