Chapter Twenty-Three: Who Is He?

Da Lei rushed over and reached out to caress the lines carved on the wall, yes, his wide eyes were full of shock. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThis is Xiaohai!

"What's wrong?" The fifth master wondered. He leaned over, only to hear Da Lei's trembling lips keep muttering: Xiaohai... Xiaohai...

"Who is Xiaohai?"

"I... My brother. Da Lei's mood gradually eased, but countless questions filled his brain: Why is Xiaohai here? Didn't you say that the saba ceremony was sacrificed to all children? How did he get in? Is this person really Xiaohai? Or is it just a coincidence?

"It's weird..."The fifth master muttered: "I saw this painting last time, it's obviously a child, why is there a big man all of a sudden!?" ā€

Da Lei trembled.

He jerked his head back!

The fifth master trembled his lips and did not move.

"What's wrong, Fifth Master?"

"It's fine. Bite? ā€

"I don't think your face is good. Ask. ā€

"I just made an old problem with a leg pain, and of course my face will be bad."

Da Lei nodded, didn't say anything more, and looked back at the mural.

In the picture, more than a dozen children are burning in the rising fire, most of the exposed heads have been peeled off with charred flesh or bubbling pustules, and their expressions of almost hideous pain are as if they were rotting. And Xiao Hai was carried to the fire, and he tried hard to break free but it was useless.

The picture stays here, I'm afraid I'm going to throw him in the next second.

Thinking of this, Da Lei became even more anxious, he could feel that this tomb must be inextricably linked with this strange mural, and only he could rescue Xiaohai.

"Fifth Master, how long has it been since you last came?"

"According to the time outside, it should be a year."

Such..... Da Lei nodded thoughtfully.

He looked around, and the cramped corridor was dark and narrow, and the four walls had nothing but carved frescoes. Where is there a door ....

"Fifth Master." Da Lei looked up at the top wall, and when he held up the candlestick, he could see that the top wall had four square outlines. Presumably the gate of the earth when they entered.

"Huh?"

"Do you want to go out with me?"

"What?" The fifth master's voice was raised: "You are crazy! It's all snake blood outside, and if you go out, you have to die! ā€

Da Lei didn't seem to hear his words, the partition of the corridor was not very high, and he stood on tiptoe and easily touched the top wall with his hand.

"Fifth Master." Da Lei handed him the candlestick: "You hold it for me." ā€

The fifth master took it, and he looked at Da Lei in confusion and didn't know what he was going to do. I saw Da Lei hunched over and retreated, his eyes were staring at the top wall from beginning to end, and then he hunched over and ran quickly, and when he rushed to the bottom of the door, he jumped up violently!

Punch the door to the ground!

Suddenly, the huge air pressure formed a whirlpool in the upper pool, Da Lei inhaled enough, his big hand on the edge of the door to do support, his arm forced, he followed the flow to the pool, the moment the door was closed, a stream of bloody water fell from the gap, and sprinkled on the dark ground of the corridor.

Sprinkle it at the feet of the fifth master.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the corridor staring blankly at the top wall.

The candle in his hand flickered twice and then went out.

......

On the other hand, in the water.

Da Lei put away the knife, and only a trace of red blood swam in the water in front of him, changing shape, and finally disappeared.

He was sure that the knife had definitely stabbed into the other party's body, but he didn't know if it was a stabbing point.

He swam desperately on all fours, and there was nothing around him, but he still couldn't let his guard down.

He can now be sure of three things:

One, the fifth master is lying to him.

Two, there is one more person here besides the two of them.

Three, they want to kill themselves.

Da Lei remembered that before he entered the pool, he had run to the stone steps and stood on the mouth of the stone statue and looked out.

The fifth master's original words were: "The blood is about to rise to the tip of the stone statue's chin!" It won't be long before we both die in it! ā€

But the scene he saw was indeed that the snake's blood was only at the waist of the stone statue, and he looked at it for a long time, but the blood did not rise.

The fifth master was lying to him, and he was even more sure when he entered the underground in the pool.

There are no stone tombs at all, there are no doors at all, and the fifth master just wants to trick him into the corridor.

At that time, I didn't know what the fifth master's intentions were, so I just cooperated with him to act.

Later, he was knocked unconscious by the impact of the opening of the ground door, and when he woke up and saw the nervous face of the fifth master, he really thought he was worried about himself. He also wondered if he was overthinking.

Until that eerie mural carved with Xiao Hai.

When he said that the man on the picture was his younger brother, through the shadow of the candlelight on the wall, he clearly saw that the fifth master behind him picked up a knife and was about to stab himself!

But he hesitated.

When Da Lei turned to observe him, he saw that the fifth master's eyes were panicked, with one hand behind his waist, he was so nervous that the handle of the knife was not hidden and exposed.

And when I entered the pool, the black shadow I saw was clearly another person hidden!

The fifth master is not as strong as himself, and he may not win if he really fights, so he will find a way to gain his trust and sneak attack while others are unprepared!

It's just that he has no grievances with him, why did he choose to attack himself?

And that person, who is it?

In fact, Da Lei was not sure if there was anyone outside the door, he just wanted to try it with a knife, but he didn't expect to really get in.

Could it be that the other party has been waiting outside? How much breath does he have to hold?

Or is there something else here?

After a while, the water was still calm, Da Lei swam around in the water, and he came out of the water to breathe in the middle, but there was no trace of the other party. He changed directions again, swimming again, feeling the stone bricks underneath, hoping to find another door. At this moment, he suddenly felt a tightness in his back!

Not good! Someone is pulling him!

The old cannon barrel hanging on his body was dragged backwards by the other party, Da Lei tried to resist, but all his strength in the water was in vain, not to mention turning around, even if he turned back, it was hard to turn back!

The other party's strength is surprisingly strong, and wisps of blood red appear in the water, it seems that the knife did not pierce this grandson's vital point! Da Lei took out the knife given by the sixth child again, thinking that Lao Tzu had to poke you into a sieve today! He raised his knife and was about to stab it backwards when he heard "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the volume did not decrease even in the water.

Da Lei was startled by this sudden sound, and with a shake of his hand, the scimitar fell straight down.

Damn it...!

Da Lei scolded in his heart, leaned down hard, straightened his hand and wanted to get the knife, and this time he found that the force was much easier than before, and the other party was obviously startled by the gunshot, it seems that he accidentally pulled the trigger when he tore it.

Good for this opportunity!

Da Lei turned around abruptly while the other party was stunned.... I want to reach out and grab his neck....!

...... But my heart sank as if it had stopped beating.

Behind him was empty, nothing.

He held out his hand in disbelief, still empty.

The man is gone....

But.... Something isn't right... Da Lei swam forward a few more times, yes, in the direction that the man dragged him away.... He stretched out his hand,

It is the inner wall of the pool.

The inner walls are made of stone bricks.

He stroked it from top to bottom, and sure enough, there was a brick that was different.

It turned out that the other door was not at the bottom of the water, but on the inner wall of the side.

He touched his back, again, empty.

The old barrel was gone.

Da Lei stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and mustered up all his strength, just like the fifth master opened the ground door at the bottom, and punched it down!

As when the first gate was opened, the pressure difference between inside and outside formed an air current, forming a huge whirlpool in the water, but this time Da Lei had a bottom in his heart, not as reckless as before, he closed his eyes and was swept into the ground gate along the current.

There was a "click" and the door shut.

The deep, cold water instantly calmed down, as if nothing had happened. There is a scimitar lying on the bottom of the water, and the shiny blade emits a strange light, echoing the colorful patterns on the handle. It seems that the fifth master is wearing the pattern on the white medicine bottle. It lay quietly at the bottom of the water, still stained with blood, scarlet blood rising in the water, wisps of unpredictable, there was an indescribable beauty.

A dark shadow appeared in the darkness, and he slowly swam towards the knife and reached for it.

After a while, he disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.

Along with the old barrel, it was gone.

Da Lei gasped heavily, holding it for too long, his lungs were really a little unbearable. He became more and more curious about the man, even more curious than the owner of the tomb.

It turns out that he is not in the same group as the fifth master.

But it seems... I am more familiar with this place than the fifth master. Could it be that they were the first to find out here before the fifth master?

But if that's the case, why is he hiding and not wanting to see anyone?

But if not, how did he get in?

Also, he didn't want to kill himself in the first place. It was because the fifth master was the first to prepare to do something to himself underground, and this wrong signal led him to think that the purpose of that person was the same.

And he has only two purposes. One is an old barrel, and the other is to bring yourself here.

Who is he?
