Chapter 66: A Fatal Misunderstanding
This skeleton took me out for some unknown reason.
Is this a condition to negotiate with me as a hostage? But I'm not familiar with those stone figurines, so do I have fart conditions to talk about?
After thinking about it, I only thought that there was one possibility: this skeleton was going to sacrifice my blood for the souls of those companions who were only left with skulls.
Taking a living person to sacrifice the soul of a skeleton is really madness.
What I didn't expect was that the stone figurines saw me being held hostage, and there was a brief panic.
Suddenly, all I heard was a "whoosh", and a stone arrow burst through the air, piercing into the skull of the skeleton next to me with lightning speed, bursting into a round hole the size of a thumb.
The skeleton at my side was knocked down by the impact of the arrow, and the blade of the bronze sword grazed my neck, cutting only a layer of skin and nearly killing me.
After escaping for a short time, I secretly shouted that I was glad to be happy, and with all my strength, I kicked down the skeleton next to me that was about to get up, and ran forward with my life.
After running about 10 meters or so, I stopped abruptly because I didn't know where to go.
On one side were skeletons trying to kill me, and on the other side were stone figurines that could even kill skeletons, and I was caught in the middle, feeling like I couldn't survive anywhere.
At this time, the stone figurines suddenly gave way to both sides, giving up all the positions in front of the gate.
Immediately after, I heard a loud bang, and the ground shook violently.
After a while, a loud noise was heard again, and the ground continued to shake.
The skeletons were even more frightened at this point, and they scrambled together. Even the skeleton that held me hostage before was very frightened at the moment, and actually used both hands and feet to retreat and squeeze back into the pile of skeletons.
Could it be that something more terrifying is about to appear?
My suspicion was soon confirmed, and a huge stone statue like a living giant, with a huge stone sword at its waist and hip, came to the gate, and actually blocked the black doorway.
It slowly lowered its body and squeezed in through the doorway, and after looking down for a week, it finally locked its gaze on me.
My heart was beating fast, my palms and feet were sweaty, and my heart was crying bitterly.
If you have just been wiped by that skeleton, at least a whole corpse will remain, and if you are stepped on by this behemoth, it is estimated that all that will be left is bone slag.
This is not a dilemma, it is a desperate situation!
If it was Liu Fatzi, it is estimated that in this case, he would jump up and point to the tip of the giant figurine's nose and scold his mother; If it was Shen Dali, it was estimated that he would copy out the guy and go desperately.
I won't scold my mother, I won't want to use my mantis arm as a car, and I don't want to wait for death.
After a quick look around, I found the trap I had slipped down to here.
The tunnel was diagonally above the southeast corner, high above the ground, conservatively estimated to be five meters high, and it was difficult for me to enter it.
Because of this, as long as I can get in, I can avoid this crisis for the time being.
I secretly planned in my heart how to lure this giant figurine over, and how I could get to it and use its height to send me into that secret tunnel......
While I was secretly estimating how to take each step, the giant suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed the hilt of the giant sword at his left waist.
"Huh!"
The huge sword was unsheathed and held high by the giant figurines. Although the scabbard and hilt were made of stone, the body of the great sword was solid bronze, and the length of the sword was almost longer than if I could have stood up straight.
The greatsword is willow-shaped, with a wide ridge in the middle line of the blade and grooves in the front of the two blades, presumably designed to bleed enemies.
I watched this scene, let out a bad cry, turned around and ran in the direction of the southeast corner.
After a few steps, I stopped again, for I realized that the giant figurine had not pursued me, nor had it swung its greatsword at me.
To my complete surprise, the giant figurine made an unbelievable move.
It cocked the greatsword upside down, its tip downward, its hands gripping the hilt of it, and then, with great force, thrust the bronze greatsword into the ground in front of it.
"Click!"
The blade broke through the rock, the smoke and dust were everywhere, the ground shook, and the skeleton rattled......
The giant figurine followed the force of the giant sword into the ground, and its body pressed down, and it actually knelt down on one knee towards me.
After it knelt down, a lot of stone figurines poured in outside the door like a tide, and they lined up very quickly, kneeling and saluting to my side in unison.
I was stunned by this scene, and I couldn't figure out what these stone figurines were trying to do.
But they couldn't speak, they just bowed down to me like that, and didn't move.
Could it be that there's something behind me?
I was startled by my thoughts, and quickly turned around to look around, but I didn't notice anyone or anything.
At the same time, I noticed that the skeletons did not bow down to me, but were still huddled together, shaking like chaff and "crackling" and "crackling".
Are they bowing down to me? Are you kidding?
My chest heaved violently, and the beam of the flashlight shook as my trembling arms swayed.
After a short period of consideration, I decided to give it a try.
I stretched out my right hand at the giant stone figurine, slowly raised it, and said loudly, "Flat!" ”
Because there's a lot of space, my voice doesn't stop reverberating.
Unexpectedly, the stone figurines led by the giant stone figurines stood up in unison when my words fell, and their movements were neat and uniform, which was very shocking.
The giant waved his hand behind me, and immediately dozens of figurines with weapons came running quickly, divided into two groups, one group surrounded the skeletons and drove them into a corner, while the other group surrounded me, as if protecting me.
After a while, a stone figurine without any weapon ran over, and when it was about a meter away from me, it stopped suddenly, knelt down on its knees, raised its hands, and presented a sign with a strange shape.
I cautiously stepped forward, reached out and took the sign, only to find that it was a stone tiger talisman.
The tiger talisman was invented by Jiang Ziya of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is a very rigorous military talisman for troop mobilization, and the tiger talisman of each army in each era is different, not only the text engraved on it, the modeling style, and even the material is not the same.
The tiger charm is divided into two halves, the right half is stored in the imperial court, and the left half is issued to the commanders. Only when the two halves appear together can the troops be successfully dispatched.
This stone figurine presents the left half of the tiger talisman, and you can guess that he wants me to take out the right half of the tiger talisman for verification.
But where did I get the tiger talisman?
Could it be that these stone eggs have recognized the wrong person? Think of me as the commander in chief from the central government?
The thought of this made me break out in a cold sweat.
If they found out that I was a fake, they would have arrested me and sentenced me to death.
The punishment of the Han Dynasty inherited the system of the Qin Dynasty and was very cruel. What kind of skinning, waist chopping, five horses split the corpse, all kinds of tricks, tyrannical means, I just think about it, I feel that my scalp is numb.
I reached into my arms and pretended to rummage for the Tiger Talisman, but in fact kept moving backwards.
But this pile of stones was so cunning that it blocked my retreat.
The giant stone figurine seemed to notice that something was wrong on my side, looked down at me, and raised the long sword in his hand.
I've seen this scene on TV a lot, and if it swings its sword, I'm bound to be killed on the spot.
I glanced to the left and right, and sure enough, I saw that the group of stone figurines surrounding me had already raised their weapons and put on a posture, and it seemed that they were ready to make a move.
