Chapter Seventy-One: The Petals That Will Cry
After the ninth master came, we had the backbone, especially me, when I saw the fake funeral flower next to me leaving, I almost spread it on the ground.
After the ninth master walked into us, I told the ninth master everything just now, not a single detail, and told the ninth master. After listening to what I said, the ninth master couldn't help frowning.
"It's not surprising that that thing can be transformed into a funeral flower. Strangely enough, it knows you... It's kind of incredible. The Ninth Master muttered quietly.
At this time, he sniffed carefully in the dark passage with his nose, and then said with palpitations: "Huohuo, fortunately you didn't turn on the lighter by the fake 'burial flower' just now, otherwise, you are estimated to be ashes now." ”
We didn't know why, so we hurriedly asked the ninth master why this was.
The Ninth Master said that there is a gas in this dark passage. The gas, which is similar to coal gas, will burn directly in the air if it encounters a flame. We will be burned to ashes in Shunzai.
Of course, that kind of gas is naturally not coal gas, and it is not very toxic.
As soon as the ninth master said this, I also understood why the fake 'funeral flower' just now kept inducing me to turn on the lighter, it turned out that it was harmful to us, and it wanted to burn all of us to ashes in an instant.
However, I still have one doubt.
That's the fake 'funeral flower, isn't it afraid of fire? You know, she was standing side by side with me just now.
At this time, the ninth master told us to be very careful, but don't make any sparks, especially the static fire. Otherwise, we will still be roasted into a fire to burn meat.
With the Ninth Master, he led us deep into this dark passage.
I asked the Ninth Master, how did the stone door of the ancient hall open? The first time we entered the ancient hall, we searched for a long time, but we couldn't find a way to open the exit of the ancient hall.
Unexpectedly, the ninth master entered the ancient hall alone, and while fighting with the eight-clawed forbidden woman, he actually opened the stone door of the ancient hall.
The Ninth Master said: "Huohuo, do you still remember the small disc hole at the top of the ancient hall. ”
"Remember, what's wrong? Does it have anything to do with it? ”
"Well, the little hole in the disc is exactly the size of a full moon. When the moon in the outside world moved to fit the small hole in the disk, the moonlight sprinkled was actually the key to the mechanism. ”
As soon as I heard the Ninth Master say this, I understood.
I thought to myself, the person who built this mechanism was really exhausted, and he actually thought of such a method as the key to opening the stone door. This is really making me want to break my head, and I can't think of it. Moreover, even if you think of it, it depends on the will of heaven, if it rains in the sky, or it is not a full moon night, then you really have to wait for death in the ancient hall.
The Ninth Master took us all the way forward, but we walked very carefully, mainly for fear that because of friction, it would cause a static fire, which would cause a fire and burn us into a fire.
Walking in this dark passage, without the slightest concept of time, and I don't know how long I walked, suddenly a corner appeared in front of me.
The corner is a slope, and the terrain is a little lower.
Jiu Ye's nose, like a foraging cheetah, shrugged his nose, and then said with a hint of surprise: "This side of the road, there is no longer that smell, we can speed up." ”
As soon as he said this, the weight that weighed on us was suddenly removed. We all breathed a sigh of relief, and like the Ninth Master, we accelerated our pace of progress.
Now, with the addition of the Ninth Master here, there are a total of fourteen people.
Suddenly, when I walked around the corner, there was a girl who whispered in a trembling voice, "You guys, did you hear any strange sounds?" ”
This girl, called Xu Shuling, was sitting close to me during class, diagonally opposite me. I'm still familiar with her voice.
As soon as Xu Shuling's words came out, we were all stunned.
Wen Meiqing on the side asked her, "Shuling, what voice did you hear?" ”
Xu Shuling said timidly: "I don't know if I heard it wrong, I seem to hear the baby's cry, but it's not quite like it, and it's like the sound of the wind." ”
"Cough, Xu Shuling, don't be surprised, isn't it just the sound of the wind. What's so weird. Zhang Yu, this nasty ghost, said at this time.
"No, it's not... The sound was not exactly like the sound of the wind, and I wanted the baby crying quietly......"
"Where is it, why didn't I hear it."
The two argued in a low voice, and at this time, the ninth master suddenly shouted, "Don't make a sound." ”
Then, like a rabbit, the ninth master pricked up his ears and listened carefully to something.
It didn't take long for the Ninth Master to frown.
There was silence for a long time before I approached the ninth master and asked him if there was any strange sound.
The Ninth Master shook his head.
"Look, Xu Shuling, you are just shocked, you are too timid." Zhang Yu muttered.
In this way, we walked around the corner, but after a while, a faint strange sound came from the front.
This time, the voice was a little faint, but I could hear it clearly.
"No, back off." Obviously, this time the ninth master also heard it, and he hurriedly opened it.
We did not dare to delay and immediately retreated.
"Whew~~~"
But at this moment, a faint white light suddenly shot out in front of us.
I couldn't tell what it was from a distance, but when I got in, I was shocked to find that it was actually a petal.
No, what came at us was a petal, a petal as white as a peony.
Originally, according to Newton's law of gravitation, everything will be subject to the gravitational pull of the earth, so the apple will only fall down, not left and right and up.
But a petal, as if out of the realm of science, actually fell when it fell, not down, but horizontally.
At this moment, I don't know what kind of acceleration it is shooting at us, anyway, its speed is getting faster and faster.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that it landed on Xu Shuling's body before.
Xu Shuling was obviously stunned, but found that the petals, except for some pollen floating out and sticking to her, did not cause any other harm to her. Moreover, she even smelled a refreshing aroma.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Shuling was a little blindsided.
And at this moment, suddenly, the petals that fell on her arm suddenly began to open and close.
“aa~~~”
Between the petals of its flowers, a small sound emanated from it.
At this time, we finally realized that the sound similar to a baby's cry just now was actually made by this petal.
The fat man smiled: "This petal really has a personality, like a baby, and it will cry." Alas, Shuling, you say, is it hungry and asks you for milk? ”
Xu Shuling blushed at his words, and scolded in a low voice: "Dead fat man, you speak the most indecent, you want to feed, you feed, you are there, you are bigger than mine..."
Just when the two of them were laughing, I was about to relax, but at this time, I noticed the ninth master beside me and shouted, "Except for that girl, everyone else, hurry up and retreat, don't be touched by the pollen on the petals." ”
As soon as he said this, all of a sudden, our faces changed greatly. Especially that Xu Shuling, the whole person's face was as white as lime, he realized the urgency in the ninth master's tone, and he cried out in fright.
"Ninth Master, what's wrong? What is wrong with the pollen? Woo~~ I'm not going to die, am I? She was so frightened that she was incoherent and screamed.
The rest of us all retreated, and at this time, the ninth master sighed, "Little girl, it's not that I don't want to save you. But now I don't have the tools in my hand, so I can't save it..."
At first, we didn't understand what that meant.
But after waiting for about ten minutes, we understood.
Xu Shuling was alone, squatting in a corner crying, at first, she didn't feel any reaction, but after a while, she found that the place where the pollen was stained began to itch, and she hurriedly scratched it with her hands.
But grasping and crowing, she grabbed a clump of fluffy things.
She raised her hand to take a look, and this look didn't scare her to death.
Between her fingernails, there was a layer of flower petals.
At this time, she looked at her right arm, and this look almost made her lose her soul.
Her white arms were now crawling with flower vines, and on top of the flower vines, there were petals of the kind just now. She desperately pulled it with her other hand, trying to pull out the flower vine, but the flower vine, growing in her flesh, could only pull out the superficial, deep part could not be pulled out at all.
Moreover, the speed at which the vine grew was terrifying, and she could even feel the feeling of the vine crawling inside it.
"Woo~~ Ninth Master, Ninth Master, these flower vines are growing into my body, save me, save me..."
"Ahh It's so painful, Huohuo, Teacher Zhang, you save me, ask the Ninth Master to save me......"
She cried out in pain, screaming in pain. That kind of pain made me empathize with it after watching it.
"Ninth Master, is it... Is there no way around it? Do you want to watch her suffer and die like this by these flowers and vines? My voice choked and I asked the ninth master next to me. I only hate that I don't have the strength to help Xu Shuling.
Jiu Ye shook his head, "If it was that petal, not long after it fell on that girl, if I had a tool in my hand, maybe I could cut off her arm and save her life, but now... Not to mention that there are no tools, and even if there are, it will be too late......"
