Chapter 107: Ancient Tomb in Distress (4)
It's just that between the two of them, the red-clothed figure has already approached He Xi's face, He Xi's hands are entangled by the ghost vine, unable to move, she can't cry and laugh, and blames herself in her heart that she shouldn't have rushed out so recklessly, but she was sure that she didn't remember the wrong way, how did she fall into this place for no reason.
But now the top priority is to think about how to get out of here, He Xi seemed to think of something, and said to Tuoba Yue: "I have a dagger in my sleeve, maybe I can cut this vine." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Tuoba Yue's eyes squinting dangerously, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his narrow phoenix eyes, but it was hidden in the dim underground mechanism that people couldn't see very really, He Xi explained with a little weakness: "I knew that Gao Yuan was leaving today, and I brought him a farewell gift, but I forgot to give it." ”
"You're chasing it out for this too?" There is no support point on the cliff wall, Tuoba Yue has to rummage through the dagger in He Xi's sleeve again, he climbed on the cliff with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to He Xi's cuff, the two were very close, so close that the sound of breathing could be heard, and the voice of the two talking was also very soft, like a whisper between lovers.
He Xi nodded, but thought that Tuoba Yue might not be able to see, so she whispered, the tail note was soft, she had been hanging by this ghost vine for a long time, it was inevitable that her breath was unstable, and there was a trace of coquettish taste, she didn't notice it herself, Tuoba Yue's fingers seemed to have an electric current, and she rummaged in her sleeve gently, He Xi suddenly gave birth to a kind of artificial knife, and I felt it for fish and meat.
She took a deep breath and asked, "It's in the left sleeve, did you find it?" There was urging and shyness in his voice.
Tuoba Yue touched a hard thing, presumably the dagger, which was wrapped around together with He Xi's arm, he pulled out the dagger with a slight force, the movement was as fast as a leopard, the cold light flashed in front of him, He Xi didn't have time to see Tuoba Yue's movements, he felt that his body was loosened, and fell into a warm embrace, Tuoba Yue floated down with He Xi.
There was a solid touch under their feet, and the two of them fell to the ground, their vision was much wider, and the light was not as dim as before, with the soft light emitted by not knowing what it was, He Xi walked to the side of the cliff, the ghost vine hung above the cliff, and a few broken sections on the ground were twisting and wriggling, looking very disgusting and terrifying, and the more terrifying thing was that the juice at the broken mouth of the vine was not the green of ordinary plants, it was like human blood, He Xi turned his face away, not looking.
Tuoba Yue walked over and bowed his head and said nothing when he saw this thing.
I don't know how high it is, she picked up a small pebble casually, put it in the palm of her white palm, stretched it out in front of Tuoba Yue's eyes, and motioned for him to throw it towards it, the two of them chased straight down, and there was no detour, so if Tuoba Yue could use internal force to throw the stone up, according to the sound of hitting the wooden plank, maybe they could judge their depth.
Tuoba Yue understood, picked up the stone with his slender fingers, turned his wrist, and made a catapult action, and the stone flew out, and the sound of breaking the wind sounded in He Xi's ears, He Xi couldn't help but think, such a force, if it attacks someone close at hand, it must be directly penetrated into the skull.
However, the sound that the two of them were thinking about did not appear, and after a long time, they heard the sound of stones falling to the ground. In an instant, He Xi's face became solemn, she raised her eyes to look at Tuoba Yue, who had some innocent hands: "I'm angry." ”
That is simply innocent and pitiful, like a kitten or a puppy wronged by the owner, He Xi burst into tears and laughed, laughing softly, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, she quipped: "Do you think we will confess here before we have achieved a great cause?" ”
The atmosphere is much more relaxed, and since this path doesn't work, it's better to choose another path.
Tuoba Yue walked towards the front, He Xi followed in steps, both of them were dragons and phoenixes among people, standing here side by side at this time, they actually looked a little talented and beautiful.
"Which is more dangerous here or the harem?" Tuoba Yue did not answer the rhetorical question.
"The front faces the harem." He Xi was concise and to the point.
The two walked all the way to the stone steps, He Xi rubbed his somewhat sore wrist that was strangled by the ghost vine, and asked, "Tuoba Yue, this ancient tomb has been here with you for a month, do you know what kind of place this is now?" ”
This is also the most critical place, Tuoba Yue shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe this time, we can find any new clues." After speaking, he continued to walk forward, and suddenly He Xi heard a slight click, and remembered it under his feet, as if he had stepped on something. She looked intently, almost frightened!
That's a human skull!
But it's not complete, there is an incomplete gap, as if it was bitten off by some monster, and it was stepped on by He Xi, and now it has been broken into several pieces, sticking to the stone steps in embarrassment, a pair of empty and godless eyes looked at the direction of the sky with some despair, He Xi bit his lip tightly, not letting himself scream, and took a few steps backwards before he stopped.
There was a glimmer of light behind him, He Xi turned around, and saw Tuoba Yue's hand I don't know where to get the torch, and before He Xi asked, she saw a scene that made her even more frightened, under her feet, beside her, and next to Fang Cai's skull, there were scattered, scattered stumps and broken arms, and there was no complete corpse.
He Xi slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn't digest what he saw for a while.
Tuoba Yue gently patted He Xi's shoulder comfortingly and said, "You come and hold the torch, don't be afraid, I'll take a look at what's going on." ”
The voice was slow and powerful, with a calming power, He Xi took the torch handed over by Tuoba Yue, and the touch of the real thing made He Xi feel a little comforted in his heart, and saw Tuoba Yue leaning over and picking up a hand bone, and his fingers had been broken. At this time, it was barely hanging on the broken arm.
The fracture was uneven, as if it had been torn off by something, and when I looked closer to the firelight, I saw the fine tooth marks on the arm after being eaten by the teeth.
Tooth marks –
This realization shocked both of them a little, and He Xi's eyes reflected the firelight, and he said hesitantly: "Is there a living thing down here?" ”
Tuoba Yue nodded, suddenly took off the dark red robe outside, untied the silk silk around his waist, He Xi immediately turned his back away, and secretly scolded Tuoba Yue in his heart for playing hooligan, what kind of clothes to take off, this is not a hooligan, she hung her head, saw Tuoba Yue's figure reflected on the ground behind her, only to see that he seemed to be tied to something, and the sound of squirming stopped for a long time.
"Alright, turn around." It was obviously a bland sentence, but to He Xi's ears, it seemed that Tuoba Yuezi was - in- flirting, oh no, it was teasing herself.
When she turned around, she waited until she saw what Tuoba Yue was doing, and saw Tuoba Yue's long arm stretched out, and He Xi's waist tightened, and then she saw Tuoba Yue fasten a buckle around her waist, and it was only counted when she tied it hard, and the other side of the clothes was tied to his own waist, and He Xi didn't know why.
Tuoba Yue explained: "Since there may be any living creature down here, whether it is dead or alive now, we can't take it lightly, you can't leave my side for half a step, so that I can better protect you." ”
He Xi looked at his waist, then at his waist, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled, and he laughed: "Now like this, isn't it as the saying goes, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope?" ”
Tuoba Yue saw that her face was a little pale, but she still had the heart to joke, and there was a pain in her heart, mixed with some appreciation, just that scene, Mo said that it was a woman, even people like him were a little shocked when they saw it, Tuoba Yue rarely didn't make fun of her, he reached out to help He Xi comb his sideburns and scattered hair, and said: "Since you know, it's good to follow behind this king, don't hold me back." ”
The expression was still that cold, invincible face, but when he turned around, the slightly raised corners of his mouth betrayed his thoughts at this time.
Tuoba Yue held the dagger in his hand, walked in front, He Xi walked behind, and the two carefully probed the severed arm stump on the ground.
It seems that it should come from different people, following the distribution of the bones, the two walked all the way out, and down the stone steps is a very empty open space, but there are some sarcophagi scattered in some places, there is no regularity at all, and some even have open coffin lids, He Xi walked to the side of the sarcophagus, took a deep breath, and looked inside, only to see that it was empty and there was nothing.
She supported the side of the sarcophagus with her hand, holding the torch to see more clearly, but she didn't want her fingers to be scratched by the sharp raised stones just when she pressed her fingers on the coffin lid.
"It's a work-in-progress." Tuoba Yue pointed to the coffin lid that cut He Xi's fingers.
Sure enough, when I saw the stone carving there, the pattern was not carved completely, it seemed that the craftsman's hand had lost his head, and there was a scratch that extended out of a taste, so that this sarcophagus must be unusable, and it was the scratch that cut He Xi's finger, He Xi tore off a small piece of cloth on the hem of his clothes, wrapped it around the injured finger, and the two checked a few nearby sarcophagus, and sure enough, in different positions, there were more or less flaws.
