Chapter 325: Lonely Zhao Xin
Wu Mian said this for a long time, but no one answered. However, taking advantage of this time, Zhao Xin took a few steps to the white-haired man's side. With a crying voice, he said, "Master Wu...... Where is this? Can we still go up? ”
Wu Mian smiled mockingly at the air as if he hadn't heard his words. Then I took a turn in place and took a slow look at the environment. It's like an underground cave, and no one would have imagined that there would be such a place in the desert if you hadn't experienced it yourself.
It can be seen that this place was originally soaked in water, and you can see potholes everywhere and there are puddles inside. The walls were wet, and they were reflected by the fireball around Zhao Xin, and there was a dazzling light. At this time, Zhao Xin saw that the walls here had been polished into a jade-like luster by the water, but at this time, Zhao Xin had no intention of appreciating this spectacle at all, he just wanted to return to it as soon as possible. Then find a way back to the grassland, where he really didn't want to stay any longer.
Just when Zhao Xin wanted to open his mouth to beg Wu Mian, there was a sudden strange sound from the position behind him. Frightened, Zhao Xin hurriedly turned around and looked, and saw that the wall dozens of feet away behind him cracked a gap that could accommodate one person to enter.
After seeing this gap, Wu Mian laughed mockingly, he didn't care about Zhao Xin, and walked slowly towards the position of the gap. Zhao Xin knew that he couldn't persuade this white-haired man. After hesitating for a moment, he still followed behind Wu Mian and cautiously followed the white-haired man.
Wu Mian walked to the front of the gap, suddenly smiled helplessly, and said two words to himself: "Stingy ......"
As he spoke, the white-haired man had reached out and grabbed the edge of the gap on the left. Seeing that he was blocked at the door and couldn't enter or retreat, Zhao Xin didn't understand what it meant. didn't dare to step forward to urge at the moment, I wished that Wu Mian wouldn't go in, and it would be good to turn around and take him back to the grassland.
"Since you invite me in, you have to open the door a little wider......" After saying that, Wu Mian chuckled, and then pushed the left half of the wall with what seemed to be a sliding door. Then "Boom! With a loud bang, half of the wall that he was pushing suddenly collapsed, and half of the wall instantly became a piece of broken stone scattered to the ground.
Half of the wall seemed to be pulled down by Wu Mian as if it were destroyed, revealing a corridor inside. Although after a few thrilling accidents, Zhao Xinli had some preparations, but he was still taken aback by this behavior without any warning. He reflexively stepped back, unsteady on his footing, and fell into a puddle of water about two or three feet beside him.
What Zhao Xin didn't expect was that the puddle he fell into was bottomless. If he hadn't reached out and grabbed the rocks around him in a panic, he might have drowned in a puddle.
"I said why are you in such a hurry to open the door, it turns out that the organ is here." After Wu Mian turned around and saw the puddle that had fallen into the water in a hurry, he laughed strangely and ignored the corridor that appeared behind the gap. Turning around and walking to Zhao Xin's side, he didn't mean to rescue the person who was still soaked in the puddle, just looked at the puddle, and continued in his mouth: "It's all calculated here, so you have been prepared for a long time, right......"
Seeing that the white-haired man had no intention of dragging himself out, Zhao Xin could only say to Wu Mian by himself: "Master Wu, take a hand ....... pull me up." ”
Wu Mian still didn't stretch out his hand, he said to Zhao Xin with a strange expression: "Pull you up?" What a hassle back and forth......"
"Back and forth? What the...... What do you mean? Zhao Xin heard that the white-haired man had something to say, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. Just as he was uttering his last word, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared under the puddle he was in, instantly pumping him down along with the water in the pit.
Zhao Xin didn't even shout this time, and disappeared into this puddle where there was no water. At that time, he didn't know what his head had hit, and he didn't know anything when it was dark in front of him.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhao Xin found himself on a wet ground. The fireball that surrounded him before had disappeared, and at this time, Zhao Xin's body seemed to be scattered. I got up from the ground in a daze, and I couldn't see anything in the darkness around me.
"Master Wu...... Are you there? Say a word......" No one answered after a few calls, and at that moment, Zhao Xin was terrified in this dark environment. He screamed and groped his way forward, if it weren't for the pain on his body, Zhao Xin would have thought that he was dead, and now he was in the underworld.
Zhao Xin himself couldn't remember how many times he called Wu Mian in total, from Master Wu to calling him by his name Wu Mian, and from Wu Mian to white-haired. However, Wu Mian never heard a response, and in the end, Zhao Xin himself was also dead, and the white hair who couldn't die well still put himself here......
In the dark environment, I don't know how much time I have been groping. Just when Zhao Xin himself had no confidence and thought that he was going to die here, his hand suddenly seemed to touch something. What he touched seemed to be a wall, different from the one that had been polished out of the water. The positions that Zhao Xin touched were all angular, and it felt like they were two different places from the above.
Zhao Xin was originally a smart person, since it was easy to touch the wall, so much water just now was instantly sucked away. It means that there must be a draining channel here, and as long as he finds a waterway, he can escape from here by using the waterway.
At that moment, Zhao Xin began to grope along the wall. I couldn't tell the time in the darkness, and I didn't know how long he had been walking, when suddenly he faintly heard the sound of water flowing. After hearing this voice, Zhao Xin had confidence and continued to walk in this direction, towards the position of the water flow.
The further you go, the louder the sound of the water becoming, and at this moment, Zhao Ji's hand touched a metal object. After groping for a long time, he found that what he had in his hand was a vessel that resembled a lamp base. There is also a thick layer of oil wax and wick inside, but there is nothing to make a fire on my body, and it is impossible to light a fire and borrow a lamp to light it. He touched many such lampholders one after another, but unfortunately he couldn't get the fire, just an ornament.
As he continued to walk, although the sound of water became louder and louder, the walls that Zhao Xin's hands touched began to become smoother, and even became drier and drier. This has completely become another place, and Zhao Xin's heart began to wonder, was he transferred to another place by the white-haired man when he just fainted? If it's still where you pump it down, how can it be so dry here?
As he continued to grope forward, Zhao Xin unexpectedly found a small oiled paper bag behind a lampholder. When it was opened, it turned out to be a fire sickle and velvet for making fire. At the moment, Zhao Xinli was happier than getting a piece of gold ingot. He trembled and flipped the velvet and drew the fire to the lampholder.
After having the light, Zhao Xin's courage also strengthened a lot. He snapped the lampholder up from the wall, just as he was about to take advantage of the light to see where he was. As soon as he turned around, he saw a vague figure less than two feet behind him.
The sudden fright made Zhao Xin throw the lampholder to the ground by mistake. Fortunately, the flame above only flickered and did not go out.
If it weren't for the fact that this figure was black from top to bottom, Zhao Xin himself would have thought that the white-haired man Wu Mian had been behind him all along. This figure was shrouded in this layer of mist, except that he could see that it was a man, Zhao Xin couldn't see what he looked like at all.
Looking at Zhao Xin's panicked appearance, the figure sneered and said, "What about the white-haired man?" Where did he go? ”
"I ...... I don't know......" Zhao Xin said as he stepped back: "I was washed down by the water, where is that person?" I'm looking for him too......"
