Chapter 16: Lacey's Cold-Bloodedness
A big strong hand grabbed me, it was Lacey.
I opened my eyes, and Lacey grabbed me with her left hand, and her right hand kept spewing blue flames outward.
Lacey turned Terminator II?
What's going on? If you look closely, it turns out that Lacey lit the mosquito spray can and kept spraying back and forth at her feet.
"Quick, gasoline", Lacey's shout gave me a little hope, and I immediately crouched down and rummaged through Lacey's backpack, found the Robust's mineral water bottle and handed it to Lacey.
"My hands are not free, so go around us"
Fortunately, those corpse worms crawled slowly, and Lacey could burn the first few in a circle, and the latter came even slower.
I took the opportunity to sprinkle half a circle of gasoline around us, and when I was about to sprinkle another half circle, this half circle had been ignited by Lacey's flames, I took two steps back, but fortunately I reacted quickly enough and did not ignite the gasoline bottle in my hand, otherwise I would have to visit Huang Jiaju first.
A twenty-centimeter-high flame rose up, and the corpse insects that rushed in front of them were instantly burned to death. Those who were close immediately turned their heads and ran backwards, and the corpse insects in the back had to move forward, and the ones in front had to retreat, causing chaos for a while.
Afraid of igniting the gasoline in my hand, I retreated to the rear.
The smoke from the gasoline burning was a little smoky, and we all crouched down.
The sprinkler flame here is getting smaller and smaller, and the corpse worm is getting closer and closer to Lacey's feet, and I can't resist it, so I picked up a thigh bone next to it, dipped it in gasoline at the mouth of the bottle, and ignited it, and went to chase the corpse worm at Lacey's feet.
I drove the corpses away, and the leg bone was in the gap, and I reached out and grabbed the bone behind me, and grabbed the whole sternum. I don't know how long these bones have been here, but the bones are already brittle, and I shook them lightly, and I shook them out, and they filled the gap with gasoline.
Temporarily safe, Lacey threw the sprinkler in her hand far away and crouched down to sit next to us.
When we quieted down, we looked at the black oppressive bone-eating corpse insects outside the ring of fire, and there was silence. Thousands of corpse insects kept writhing their limbs, the flames became smaller and smaller, as long as the flames were smaller, the corpse insects came closer, I had to disassemble the sternum next to me, carefully pour gasoline and put the bone on the ground, and use another bone to carefully push the gasoline-stained bone over.
"Why are there so many corpse worms," I said to myself.
"Where there are bones, there are bone-eating corpses," Lacey said to me, as she looked ahead. "This corpse insect generally lives in desert oases, or grasslands rich in water and grass, with a population of up to five individuals, and there can be so many ...... here."
"Let's make a way out with gasoline", I suggested
Lacey turned her head to look at the small half bottle of gasoline that was left, "not enough"
"Is there any other way out here?" , Zhao Dong was a little anxious,
"It's probably a dead end," Lacey continued, "and when we open the hole, it's not moving air,...... But", Lacey hesitated.
"But what," Zhao Dong asked.
Lacey thought for a moment, "These insects need air to survive and reproduce."
yes, so there must be somewhere to get outside, even if it's back in that vertical bottomless pit.
"Then look for it", thinking that there might be a way out, we all turned on all the flashlights and looked over the four walls.
"Who will lock up the prisoner in a place where there is a possibility of escaping, there is no need to look for it", Zhang San spoke.
"You can't stop talking," I yelled at Zhang San.
Yes, I've thought about that, but we can't give up as long as there's a glimmer of hope.
"If the purpose of gouging out their eyes is to keep these people from discovering anything, there could be passages," Lacey said.
We all frantically searched everywhere, but this stone chamber was so big, and we looked at it many times, and the little hope we held in our hearts became more and more dim.
Zhao Dong and Zhang San gave up and sat on the ground against the wall.
"Look for it, don't give up, we won't die here", I shouted at them, but it still didn't work, I shouted, "Didn't I tell you, I saw my future in the Underworld Yuan God Hall, I won't die here, find it quickly".
Zhang San looked up at me, "Since we are destined not to die, it is the same whether we are found or not."
Have you given up, have you really given up, I put Lacey's light and my flashlight together, and slowly swept around, except for those simple charcoal paintings on the wall.
No, I'm going to look around again, I don't know if it's the dozen times I've seen it, and there's one more thing besides the charcoal painting.
The cave wall on the right was uneven, with a few black beetles on it, and the bone-eating corpse worms began to climb the wall!!
It's over, it's over, I turned my head to look at Laixi, and then at Zhang San and Zhao Dong.
There is also a wall that has not been checked, this wall that we are leaning against behind us.
The flames on the ground were smaller again, and there was an eerie blue flame on top of the yellow flames, and I didn't have time to think about it, but after boosting the gasoline, I began to examine the cave wall behind us.
This side of the cave wall is surprisingly flat, it shouldn't be, whether it's natural or artificial, it won't be so smooth. There's only one answer, there's something weird about this wall.
Under the strong light of the Lacey Shenhuo flashlight, the charcoal painting on this wall was clearly revealed, and the color of this painting was obviously darker than the charcoal painting on the cave wall next to it, and the brushwork was completely different. Even a layman like me can see that this comes from different people's hands and different eras.
I reached out and touched the wall of the cave with the charcoal painting, it was plaster.
"Marl?"
Lacey picked up the knife and smashed the wall, and the plaster fell down piece by piece.
"Smash it," Lacey shouted.
Zhang San and Zhao Dong also took knives, and the bone fragments began to dig, and there was no place for me to stand.
Soon, the plaster on this wall was cleared, and behind the plaster was a sealed hole.
Now we see hope, big knives and small knives go into battle together, digging.
Dig, dig hard.
I can't dig it, the filling between the stones is too hard to dig at all.
"This is egg white mixed with glutinous rice, white ash, glutinous rice concrete!" ,I'm very surprised.,I actually ran into this hole seal.,What's in it?。
This thing can't be dug up in a day or two, everyone stops.
"A large amount of treasure is in front of you, but you can't see that you are going to die, this is really the most painful thing in the world", Zhao Dong said helplessly.
In the mirror of the Yuanshen Hall, I didn't enter the Soul Breaking Pass with Master Mao, how could I die here, I began to doubt the future I saw in the Yuanshen Hall.
"The most painful thing is that this is not a treasure at all", Zhang San continued, "This cave entrance is not like protecting the treasure, but like preventing something from coming out"!! Although surprised, what Zhang San said was not unreasonable.
"We can't control those anymore, the gasoline is gone",
The little hope I just saw was shattered again, let's die, let's die, if I'm dead, I'll go to the underworld and smash the mirror of the Yuan Shen Hall.
We all sat down, and Zhao Dong sobbed softly.
"It's all my fault, and I've been involved with you", I asked them softly as I looked at the wall of fire that was about to be extinguished, and the black pressure on a bone-eating corpse in front of me. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have died with me"
Lacey tapped me on the shoulder and didn't say anything, but I knew he meant, I don't blame you.
"What's the use of talking about this now", Zhao Dong shouted loudly, crying and shouting, he was a little hysterical.
I turned my head to look at Zhao Dong, and Zhang San also patted Zhao Dong on the shoulder to comfort Zhao Dong.
"Two people can escape", said Lacey.
After getting along with Laixi for a long time, Zhao Dong and Zhang San also knew that Laixi would not say something that they were not sure about, so they all raised their heads and looked at Laixi.
Lacey didn't say anything, he pulled out his cigarette case, and he slowly poured out all the cigarettes, as well as the last two cigarettes. He handed it to Zhao Dong and Zhang San.
Point it to them and say slowly, "Two people at the bottom, two people step out".
