Chapter 358: Under the City Walls
The two spikes staggered out and began to slowly retract.
Only then did the boy take the first step solemnly, and stepped on the first stone step with peace of mind. Once he had gained his footing, he took a second step, the second stone staircase.
This time, he didn't close his legs, and he didn't spike out.
The boy steadied himself a little and stepped up the third stone staircase. From this level, he ran as fast as he could, tiptoe to the ground with each step, as dexterous as an ape.
And all the stone steps he had stepped on opened from the middle to the sides. Fortunately, the boy ran fast enough, otherwise he would have fallen into the tumbling rapids.
He probably ran out of seven or eight floors, jumped sharply, directly stepped over two stone steps, and stood firmly.
If you are not completely familiar with it, I am afraid that there is really no way to achieve this level.
The boy turned around and nodded at us, then continued upward.
There are hundreds of stone steps, and there are spiked traps and flap traps interspersed among them, and the setting of each trap is familiar to the boy and can be predicted in advance.
It only took ten minutes for Jean to reach the level stage of the stone bridge.
The boy stood on the edge of the horizontal segment and half-turned and waved at us.
Leng Yue put away the pair of iron chopsticks, clung them to her waist, and then began to go up the stone steps.
More than a hundred floors, he only watched the boy demonstrate it once, he could completely memorize it, and easily reached the boy's side.
I asked Zhang Yi, "Do you remember?" ”
Zhang Yi shook his head blankly and said, "How can you remember?" More than 100 floors. ”
Leng Yue seemed to see Zhang Yi's thoughts and me, and said loudly on it, "I'll remind you." ”
I nodded and said to Zhang Yi, "I'll go first, you can watch it again." ”
With that, I took a deep breath, adjusted my state, and began to ascend the stone steps.
The cold moon reminds me very well, if there is a spike and danger, it will make me "retreat", and if there is a flap, it will remind me to "jump".
This section of the stone steps road, I passed without danger, and finally arrived next to Leng Yue and the boy with a sweat and a heartbeat of "poof, puff, puff".
With my demonstration and Leng Yue's reminder, Zhang Yi also went very smoothly.
The boy smiled and gave us a thumbs up when he saw that we were all safe and sound.
The horizontal section of the stone bridge is shrouded in fog and leads to the dungeon on the opposite side.
On the guardrails on both sides of the stone bridge, there is a statue of a stone bird at intervals, although the image is similar, but the shape is completely different, some are in the shape of fluttering wings, some are in the shape of wings, some are raising their heads, some are bowing their heads, some are on the ground with one paw, some are flying with both paws off the ground, and only supported by a stone pillar......
I noticed that one thing these stone birds have in common is that they all face opposite each other with their pointed beaks.
Theoretically, this design is normal, but I noticed that these stone birds are probably very unusual, and it is very likely that they are hiding murderous intentions.
The boy pointed to the stone birds, and chattered and gestured, as if to say that the stone birds were dangerous.
I nodded in understanding.
The boy smiled reluctantly, and then took the lead in walking forward, and when he passed the first pair of stone birds, he took only one step, hurriedly turned his head backwards, got up, and ran backwards.
Suddenly, fire snakes erupted from the sharp beaks of the two stone birds, which collided and rose up, instantly turning into a wall of fire.
If the boy hadn't retreated fast enough, he would have been burned to ashes.
The boy got up breathlessly, pointed to the two stone birds, and waved his hand repeatedly, as if to say that this place could not be passed at all.
In the face of such a mechanism, I also have a headache.
Leng Yue shook off the pair of iron chopsticks without saying a word, and walked quickly to the vicinity of the two stone bird statues.
I wondered what he was going to do, but I saw him raise his iron chopsticks violently, and smash them into one of the stone birds with all his might.
"Boom!"
In the deafening explosion, the stone bird exploded into rubble, and flames rose into the sky, and the fire was bright and dazzling, and we were dumbfounded.
The boy, in particular, widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide to speak. When he came back to his senses, he kept rubbing his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Leng Yue seemed to have arrived at this point to normal, and after smashing another stone bird, he continued to walk forward, and every time he came in front of a pair of stone birds, he would smash the stone bird without saying a word.
"Don't look at it, let's go."
With that, I took Zhang Yi and the stunned boy to follow.
The bridge deck was covered with gravel, and it was very difficult to step on, and the fog was filled with a smell of gunsmoke. A good exquisite stone bridge was destroyed by the hands of Leng Yue.
Although the speed was slow, I was glad that the danger was removed. Eventually, we made it to the opposite side and came to the front of the huge dungeon.
The city was built exactly to the specifications of the actual ancient city, with high walls and tall stone gates that were tightly closed. Above the stone gate, there is a plaque, there is a relief ancient Shu text on the plaque, it should be the word "Jinsha".
I asked Leng Yue, "Can you push the gate open?" ”
Leng Yue stepped forward and tried it, and finally shook her head and said, "No." ”
The height of the wall is more than ten meters, and with the spare we have with us, there is no way to climb it.
Just as we were frowning, the boy suddenly said something, and then beckoned to us, leading us along the base of the wall.
Except for the bridgehead, the road is very narrow in other places, and there is no protective equipment, so we can only move carefully with our backs against the wall.
It's a hard road, and if you slip under your feet, you're sure to fall.
I don't know where the boy was going to take us, but with the way he behaved when he crossed the stone bridge, I felt like I had the option to trust him.
After walking for about forty or fifty meters, the boy suddenly became short and disappeared before our eyes.
Zhang Yi exclaimed: "Why is he gone?" ”
I didn't expect this to happen, my scalp was numb, and I was hesitating to go back, but I heard the boy's voice coming from nearby.
Before I could understand what was going on, the cold moon in front of me suddenly became short and disappeared.
It was then that I noticed that not far in front of me, there was a gap under the base of the city wall, which looked like a dog.
The boy's head poked out of it and waved anxiously at me.
I nodded and whispered to Zhang Yi: "Don't worry, there is one in front, be careful of your step." ”
As I spoke, I took a few more steps forward, then carefully retreated into the gap.
Suddenly, my feet were empty, and I fell to the ground on my back.
Leng Yue pulled me up from the side and pulled me aside.
Not long after, Zhang Yi also fell here, patted his chest repeatedly, and called "scary".
The walls were wide, this one was narrow, and it wasn't straight, so we had to grope our way up to the depths.
Suddenly, I felt a body dripping onto the back of my hand, very sticky, with a foul fishy smell, I don't know what it was.
I adjusted the flashlight, looked upwards, and was stunned.
Above me, almost against my forehead, there was a hideous face that was grinning at me.
And the body dripping on the back of my hand turned out to be the saliva left by that strange face.
