213. A thorn in the eye

Xu Jiu asked in surprise: "How did you do it?" ”

When I rolled my eyes, I saw that all three of them were staring at me, "According to the existing environment and details, make a reasonable plan and then make a shadow in your mind, and outline it with a brush in your heart, this is the painting." ”

The terrible whistling sound was especially terrifying and piercing in the vast cavern, and echoed in the same way. I almost ran on my legs, towards the source of the whistling. Gao Cheng is sick again!

After running a short distance, I was dragged by Xu Jiu from behind, and she leaned into my ear and whispered: "Don't be impulsive, there is someone over there." "I bit my lip to suppress my frantic emotion, and in fact I heard human voices. And after the whistle came out, it was the sound of a thumping iron cage, like a sharp cone knocked in the heart, grinding out blood one by one.

When the gaze passes through the darkness and resists the light, the trembling falls, tears.

Finally.

The dim iron cage, ten square meters, the person I put at the tip of my heart, like a shadow trampled by someone, fell on the iron bar, curled up and screamed in pain. Ben still had a terrible whistling, only a dying tremble.

I almost fell headlong to the ground, but I was tightly grabbed by Xu Jiu's arm to avoid embarrassment. But at this moment, I would rather fall down in embarrassment than be heartbroken by looking at Gao Cheng like this. A fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, and when he opened his mouth, blood spat out.

"Xia Zhu!" Xu Jiu lost his voice and called.

I grabbed her hand blankly, couldn't make a sound in my throat, and asked in aphasia, "What should I do?" ”

Xu Jiu's eyes were full of sympathy, but he couldn't say a word. I know I'm going to be tough. Gao Cheng was locked in the iron cage with electricity on, and a group of people gathered around him, there were only four of us in total, how to save him?

He lowered his head, sniffed, blinked the tears from his eyes, and raised his eyes again, his pupils locked, staring at the huddled figure.

Chu Gaocheng, you have finally become a thorn in my side! Penetrate the perspective and feel the pain in the heart.

I don't know if it's my delusion, after such a long distance, I vaguely saw those blood-red eyes, as if they met that gaze, and then the red didn't enter my heart, and every drop was blood.

Xu Jiu gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear: "Ah Xu, find a way to contact the outside world, I want to find Brother Yu." ”

He replied one after another: "I'll try the signal here." Wait, this magnetic sensation doesn't seem to be strong, and the signal is beating. ”

"I'll fight."

Later, Xu Jiu walked to the side, and I didn't have the extra heart to listen to what she said, just squinted my eyes and stared at those red eyes. Suddenly I felt a deep sorrow, because I could read the sorrow in the blood.

His eyes suddenly turned dark, his eyes were covered with a pair of big hands, and the madman behind him said in a voice that had never been serious: "Little box, don't look at it." I, Qin San, swear to you that even if I fight for this life, I will save him. ”

Tears wet his hands......

I was dragged away from the distance, and the figure turned barren in my eyes. Xu Jiu said in his ear, to the effect that now is not the time, and he will go over when he finds the opportunity, and he also said who has not been contacted, who has been contacted, and who is coming. I heard it and forgot it, because my consciousness was still there.

The opportunity has not come for a long time! There was a man in a white lab coat who would come over every half hour, too far away for me to tell if it was one of the men I had seen in Tiger Cliff a year ago, but I was sure he was observing Gao Cheng.

Autumn Moon White appeared once, only stood by for a moment before leaving. The plan is to find a way to catch one of them, and the most important thing at the moment is to lock up the iron cage with electricity in Gao Cheng, and first find a way to open it.

For a long time, I didn't hear any crazy movement in Gao Cheng, and I didn't have the courage to visit again, and I guessed that I might have fainted. Just as we were waiting for the right time, an uninvited guest suddenly arrivedβ€”Rakshasa. Originally, it was safe for us to hide in this stalagmite maze area, but as soon as the Rakshasa came, he immediately led people to this side.

He whispered one after another: "It's not good, we must evacuate immediately." ”

I narrowed my eyes and turned around without saying a word. Even if you don't want to leave this range again, you can't drag the three of them one after another, and only I can lead people back to the stalagmite maze. But what worries me in my heart is that since the Rakshasa has come here with a clear purpose, it is very likely that he has already detected our traces, and he is afraid that the way in will be blocked.

Only halfway through the stalagmite maze, we all stopped, because we had already seen the shadowy figure between the scattered stalactites and stalagmites, and sure enough, I expected it! We have inadvertently opened up a path that already exists, but there is also a potential danger, just like now, that path is known to the Rakshasas.

The maze area is about three or four hundred square meters, and the only way I can think of at this moment is to stay in it temporarily. However, when Rakshasa led the people to the edge of the stalagmites, I immediately felt bad feelings in my heart. He walked back and forth twice on the outer edge before he stepped in. We were hiding in a place where the stalactites and stalagmites were connected, Xu Jiu asked in a low voice: "Xia Zhu, do you think he is walking around?" ”

I replied, "He knows the maze." "From the first step of the Rakshasa step, I knew that this person knew the maze, and that kick was the exit of the complicated stalagmite maze. Then he turned around with swift steps, and the men he led were very disciplined, and they all followed his steps towards the middle.

The shoulder was tapped, and I turned my eyes to see Xu Jiu pointing to it. Just now, I was contemplating the footwork of the rakshasa, and I didn't notice that Ben was beside him and the madman who actually climbed up along the stone stalactite. I couldn't help frowning, even if we hid on it, there were four of us, but as long as the Rakshasa had a little ability to feel the breath, he could find us, isn't this an extra move?

Xu Jiu said lightly: "It takes a long, long time for the formation of stone stalactites, and the water containing carbon dioxide in the limestone seeps into the cracks and dissolves the calcium carbonate, and then the water drops. So the stone layer on top of this is usually hollow. ”

My heart moved, and I suddenly understood what she meant. Without hesitation, I climbed up, but I saw that the madman had already burrowed into the crack in the stone at the top, and in any case, it was a desperate situation. As Xu Jiu said, the strangely shaped stone layer of the stone stalactites is hollow, but it is not unimpeded, after all, this is a stone layer that has evolved naturally over thousands of years, not artificially created. So the gap is sometimes big and sometimes small, Xu Jiu and I can almost drill through the small body, but it takes a lot of effort to drill with the two big men of the madman one after another.

Fortunately, however, the directions we can move are all deviated from the correct route of the maze, so as long as there is not much movement, the rakshasas who are still in the stalagmite maze should not be able to detect us. Due to special reasons, there may be gaps in the stone layers in the stalactite area, but after climbing through this area, there is only a narrow gap left in front of us, and even Xu Jiu can't get into it this time.

One after another, he proposed: "Let's wait here for a while, they should leave if they can't find anyone." Even the ghost-faced person found out that this place is not as passive as it is underneath, so let's let him get in and out. ”

I don't know if the rakshasa noticed this, but my eyes were fixed on the gap about 20 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide, and the thought in my mind was that if this crack could be unobstructed, then it would lead to the top of the high city.

Just thinking about it makes my heart beat violently.

I heard myself speak, "You wait here for a while, I'll go over and take a look." Xu Jiu was stunned and asked, "Where are you going?" I stretched out my hand to the gap, and the madman immediately shook his head and said, "Don't be stupid, little box, such a small seamman can only get into it unless he is a child." I looked up at them, "I can be a child." ”

Taking a deep breath, under their astonished gaze, the bones crunched, from the skull to the shoulder bones, to the hand bones and leg bones, and in a few minutes, I shrunk from an adult to a child about ten years old. Xu Jiu muttered in his mouth: "Bone shrinking skill!" ”

Yes, bone shrinking.

I don't know how long it has been since I've used this technique, and the contraction of my bones is rusty. I didn't care about the expressions of the three of them, dropped a sentence of "wait for me" and got into the gap, and just when my whole body was lying on my stomach and burrowing in, I seemed to hear Xu Jiu say behind me: "I have seen a person use the bone shrinking technique." ”

My heart moved, but I quickly regained my mind and crawled forward, and I just wanted to be able to get to the high city as fast as I could. Although I had only watched from a distance before, I was within a hundred meters of the visual distance, so I had been assessing how far I had climbed forward. When I climbed to about 50 meters, suddenly there was no gap in front of me to drill, and my heart sank, I was only a few dozen meters away, did I have to stop here?

I was not reconciled, and my ten fingers touched little by little in the dark, hoping to find an opportunity. In fact, the opportunity did appear, and when the eyes could not see, the touch of the hands would become sensitive, and it seemed that the sand and gravel in the rock layer were still slightly wet. Xu Jiu's words just now came to mind: carbon dioxide water, dissolved calcium carbonate, gritted his teeth and fingers into the gravel and then broke it hard, sure enough, these rocks were brittle. Tell yourself that there is only a little way to go, even if you dig it with your bare hands.

I really felt the pain of connecting my fingers to my heart, and then my fingertips hurt like countless needles inserting between my fingernails, but finally, after calculating the distance, I reached the top of the iron cage.

His body and limbs were crouched in the gap, separated by a not too thick rock formation, and I was only three or four meters away from him up and down. In the course of my journey, I had broken a few menhirs and had a sharp head, and I thought it would come in handy at this moment, so I put them in my pocket. Now that I'm here, I'm not in a hurry, it's just time. <
