Volume 3 The Lost City of Organs 73 It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and he is forced into the city road dangerously
Everyone looked in the direction where the cry came from, and saw a huge black shadow standing in the wind and sand, this black shadow had countless tentacles, and was rushing towards everyone with teeth and claws.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, could it be that what the guide said before was true, and it really followed all the way here?
I don't know if it's a psychological reason or a distance problem, Mu Chen always feels that the sand ghost this time is much bigger than the previous one. Isn't this the same one? If not, why are they also targeting their own people?
Seeing this monster, the people on the Dao Ye's side were directly frightened, and they howled more than ghosts.
Dao Ye leaned over to Yan'er's side, "This, what is this?" You've seen it before? โ
Yan'er coldly replied to him with five words, "I don't know, no!" "The provincial one will settle all these accounts on his side when the time comes.
In essence, on the side of the sword master, there is a group of rabble, and they don't know how to deal with this situation at all, they only know how to run around, neither cooperate nor fight in groups, and in the end they can only be broken by each one. In the blink of an eye, several people had already died.
Looking at the menacing sand ghost, Yan'er immediately decided, "Enter the city!" โ
With the lesson of the last time, everyone's equipment is carried on their backs, and even if they are tired, they will be kept at hand, so they are withdrawn at the moment, without dragging the mud and water at all.
The city was very large, and they had walked around it for a long time before, but they had not seen the city gate, and seeing that it was getting dark, they found a random place to station.
At this moment, they were chased by sand ghosts, and there was no way to climb over the wall, so everyone had to continue to run along the city wall.
The camels were all pacified and stayed together, and there was no time to escape, and the screams of the camels soon sounded behind them, and they should have been wiped out.
Cai Zitan was frightened, and scolded his mother while running, "Damn, dozens of camels are not enough for it to eat, why are you chasing us?" โ
It stands to reason that this is a non-nutritious question, but there is really one person in the team who, after serious consideration, answered him. This person is naturally Cheng Wenxi, "I think, it may be to stock up on food for the winter!" Anyway, it will dry quickly in the desert, and it won't go bad! โ
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ
The speed of those tentacles was very fast, and they caught up in the blink of an eye, Yan'er, Wen Qiyu and they had to stop and drag it, and let Mu Chen and them hurry up to find the entrance.
Looking at the original vow that he would share blessings and difficulties, but now he is really in danger, but he doesn't plan to help at all, just the knife master who runs forward, Mu Chen is a little speechless, this person looks like a tough guy, how can he be so cowardly when he encounters something? If it weren't for the wrong timing, Mu Chen really wanted to slap him in the face.
He ran a long way forward, but he still didn't see the gate. As he was running, there was a bulge on the ground suddenly, and Mu Chen didn't pay attention and tripped and fell to the ground. He turned his head and saw that what he had just kicked was actually a skull!
Skulls? Mu Chen thought about it, and hurriedly dug out the other skeletons, only to see that this person's ribs were stuck with a hardened steel needle! The poison of this steel needle should be quite fierce, and the bones have turned jet black.
Seeing that Mu Chen didn't run quickly, but was stunned at a dry bone, Cai Zitan hesitated, but ran back to grab him, "What are you doing, hurry up!" โ
Mu Chen ignored him and continued to plan, this piece of land was all corpses!
"The entrance is here!" Mu Chen walked to the wall and carefully shone it with a flashlight, and there was indeed an outline of a door on the wall.
It was made of the same color as the wall, and there were no door frames, carvings, names, or anything like that, and it was dark now, and it would have been hard to notice if it weren't for the corpses.
Mu Chen pushed hard, but he couldn't push it, and he touched it up and down again, but he didn't find any bumps or depressions, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Bai Yucheng walked over and looked at Mu Chen, "Pick me up!" โ
Mu Chen almost wanted to give himself two slaps, how could he forget this stubble, there is a person here who has a door, he is still a genius, what kind of work do he have to work blindly.
This city gate is two or three meters long, so Mu Chen raised Baiyu City as high as possible.
Bai Yucheng measured it with his hand, and then knocked it twice hard at a certain location.
With the sound of the mechanism operating, a piece of the gate unscrewed in the middle, revealing a small hole.
"Give me that dragon."
Mu Chen hurriedly handed it over, and it turned out that this dragon was actually the key to the gate of the city. It seems that the person who gave the key hoped that he would be able to get in, so what good would it do him if he went in?
Wait, no, Mu Chen suddenly thought of a question, if you have to have a key to enter the city, and this key is a one-time thing, then how did Leng Zhanhao and Leng Ye get in? Leng Zhanhao's key can also be explained as being given by Ling Shijin, but Leng Ye, there is absolutely no reason to know and get the key.
So now there are only two explanations, one, there is a way to enter the city without a key. Second, I didn't come to the city at all in the cold night, someone made a game and deliberately deceived himself!
However, since someone deliberately gave the key because he was afraid that he would not be able to get in, it means that the first situation does not exist at all, so it can only be the second case.
Although the call was made in the cold night, he did not say on the phone that he was coming to the city. Leng Ye is also a mortal after all, and it is not impossible to be threatened, or to call someone who can imitate his voice.
However, Leng Zhanhao's matter should be true, such a big thing can't be hidden in the rivers and lakes at all, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have believed that Leng Ye would come to the city.
Moreover, if you want to go to the Organ City, there happens to be a person with the Organ Gate next to you, Baiyu City, and the key can be sent, but without Baiyu City, you can't enter it.
These seemingly uncausal things have directly led to today's results, so are these really just coincidences?
Since Tanglin, Mu Chen has always felt that there is a force that has been controlling the situation, influencing his judgment and determining his behavior. It's like the so-called hand of God, quietly arranging everything.
This power is the result of the joint action of many forces, in addition to the known Yimen, Changping Auction House, and the people who are secretly working to throw hexagram coins. Of course, there may be other forces besides that. So, what is the purpose of their push to do these things?
Countless fragmentary clues were intertwined, Mu Chen couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't string them together, feeling that his brain was about to explode.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen's heart suddenly froze, this time, shouldn't it be for the cold night? The other party can send fake news to attract these people to themselves, and naturally they can also use this true news to attract the cold night! The hexagram said that he would find him, but was he actually found himself?
On the other side, after Bai Yucheng inserted the little dragon into the keyhole, the mechanism suddenly operated, stucking the little dragon to death, and then, under everyone's gaze, the dragon actually slowly melted away. After it disappeared without a trace, the city gate was pulled to the sides little by little, revealing a gap one meter wide. Behind is the frightening endless darkness!
"The door is open for a limited time, call them over."
At this point, there was no other way out anyway, either to enter the city or to die at the hands of the sand ghost. Mu Chen's heart was crossed, and he hurried to call someone.
Over there, Rao joined forces with many of them, or still fell behind, this sand ghost didn't seem to have any weakness at all, whether it was a gun, a knife, or a fist or any other attack, it didn't seem to have any effect on it. If it can be restored as long as it has sand, then in this desert, it is simply invincible.
"Come here!"
Hearing Mu Chen's voice, Yan'er and the others hurriedly retreated. But the tentacles have been entangled, so they can't get out at all.
Seeing that the city gate began to close, Yan'er glanced at Jiang Shan, "Explosives!" โ
Jiang Shan nodded, and the two of them threw explosives from two directions at the same time, and in the huge explosion, countless tentacles turned into gravel and fell. Several people hurried into the city at this opportunity, and those tentacles quickly recovered and poured in like a tidal wave, but fortunately the city gate was closed in time to keep it out.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and began to explore the environment in the city.
To be honest, except for a roof, this city is no different from an ordinary ancient city, the streets are lined with neat shops, and if you look closely, you can still see the original signboard.
"Say, 'Why does this city have a roof?' Don't the people who open the doors like to bask in the sun? Dao Ye smiled and deliberately said something, wanting to adjust the awkward atmosphere.
Yan'er rolled her eyes and ignored him. Turning his head, he looked at Bai Yucheng with a smile, "Little brother Yucheng, can you go this way?" โ
Bai Yucheng didn't speak, just stared straight at the road ahead, as if thinking and calculating something.
Dao Ye was taken aback, and he didn't have anything to say, so he turned around and looked at the birthday star, "Is there a mechanism ahead?" โ
The birthday star was also staring at the road, starting from a place a zhang away, as far as the eye could see, the entire road was paved with stone slabs three feet long and one foot wide, and there was nothing unusual to see otherwise. You have to say that there is no mechanism, this is a mechanism city, it is impossible to have no mechanism. If you want to say that there is, under this kind of brick, there are not thousands of kinds of mechanisms that can be placed, but there must be hundreds of them, and all kinds of solutions are different, how to judge which one it is?
The birthday star couldn't see it, and he didn't believe that Bai Yucheng could see anything. "It's impossible to judge at all, throw something over and test it first, it's best if there is no mechanism. If so, just take a look, and only by judging what kind of mechanism it is, can I think of a solution. โ
Dao Ye nodded, "Well, that makes sense!" With that, he began to grope around his body, trying to see what would be more appropriate to throw over.
Just as he was about to throw a can of food over, Bai Yucheng spoke, "If you want to die, throw it away!" โ
