30. Trapped
Obviously, at that time, after we saw through the trick, Chen Bing decided to take the plan and behave in a decadent state of begging for death, so as to eliminate our defense. Then when everyone was not paying attention, he started another plan of his, he knew that the five of us were powerful, and he didn't dare to start easily, so he took the people on Professor Qin's side first, and after seeing the two of them being dragged away alive by the nameless beast, no one was not panicking.
And he, Chen Bing, took advantage of the fact that everyone did not come back to his senses, and wanted to repeat the old trick, leading us to the vicinity of the quicksand pit, and then summoning the fierce beast centipede, and using both prongs, he wanted us all to fall into the quicksand pit and die. Judging from his ruthless methods, and finally cutting off Huang Yaocheng's rope without hesitation and abandoning him, he is a cruel person.
The combination of the two had long understood that the secret art he had learned was to summon and manipulate animals. From the previous safflower snake to the centipede beast just now, it was all planned and manipulated by him, and the vicious animals in this desert are endless, with such a skill, it is really unscrupulous, and it is no wonder that Zhou Jing dared to let him take only two people into the desert and put us to death.
There is no need to doubt that Chen Bing's familiarity and judgment of the desert terrain are definitely no worse than the Alimu who ran away.
It's a pity that it's too late to realize these facts, I don't dare to think about what the situation is on Sheng Shiyao's side, I can only say to myself, he is so powerful, no matter how bad the environment is, he will never be fine, and he will not let others have anything.
Thinking of this hand moving unconsciously, I only heard the sound of "snorting" coming from the gasp, knowing that I was absent-mindedly scratching Chen Bing, and I didn't care about anything else, so I asked the question just now coldly.
Chen Bing saw that the matter had come to this point, and he was injured by me with the Shadow Moon Knife again, so he didn't act recklessly, and directly admitted it. He said that Huang Xingyuan is just a general term for secret arts, which contains many kinds of techniques, and everyone learns differently by their expertise, Huang Yonghui is good at soul sound control people's minds, and he is good at summoning and controlling animals. As for what Zhou Ah Gong has learned, it is inconvenient for him to disclose.
I asked about the doubts about the green glass bead before, he was silent for a long time, and when I thought he didn't want to answer and was going to threaten the shadow moon again, he spoke: "The green glass bead is a symbol, it actually has two of itself, just like the eyes of the demon god, guarding the castle and our entire Jinsha Ancient Town, but then one was stolen, the eyes of the demon god became blood-red, and it often became angry and punished the ignorant people. ”
What is this? Why did you get involved with that bat again? I thought for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that the black-winged bat itself doesn't have blood-red eyes?" The two green glass beads were pressed to its eyes, so why did the other one go to the top of the fort later? ”
"After losing a bead, the demon god is already angry, we must not let the remaining one be lost again, otherwise the demon god will destroy the ancient town in a fit of rage. So we hid the green glass beads in a hidden place on the top of the fort, and installed a mechanism behind the beads, as soon as the beads were picked up, Zhou Ah Gongna could immediately find them. ”
How could it be? That is to say, when Sheng Shiyao took off the beads that night, we were actually already within the monitoring range of Zhou Jing and others, and when we were ignorant, they began to lay down the heavens and the earth. "But I never understand, why does the red flower snake lead people to get the beads?"
"I don't know about this," Chen Bing paused and said, "The reason why the Red Spirit Snake has a spirit character is because it is psychic, and it is the easiest type of snake to understand the terminology. It is precisely for this reason that Ah Gong Zhou decided to let me take you to the Black Stone Forest to try it, it is rumored that the Black Stone Forest is the last haunt of the Dark Demon God, and maybe you can find the Demon God. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer: "Then in the Black Stone Forest, you waited for no movement, and then decided to summon the centipede to kill us, right?" Chen Binggan laughed twice and changed the topic: "Little girl, I think we should hurry up and find a way, we have to hold our breath sooner or later after staying in this place for a long time." ”
After he reminded me, I suddenly found that he and I had entered the depths of this sandy layer, and there was actually air. What's going on? It is estimated that the distance of the slide just now is at least thirty or forty meters deep from the surface of the sand layer, and the thickness and density of the sand layer are enough to isolate the air from the outside world, that is to say, the air in the space we are in now is penetrating from other places.
With a twist of thought, the hand holding the Shadow Moon Knife did not move, and continued to press against Chen Bing's body, and the other hand touched the side of his body, and then touched his feet, the texture was like a stone, as if we had fallen into a quicksand pit, and then fell into a cave.
Chen Bing proposed: "Why don't we look separately and test how big this place is." ”
I snorted coldly, groped on the ground, and found the rope that bound Chen Bing before, and when I pulled it, I found that the rope was still wrapped around one of his hands, so I re-tied the rope to his back, and then said: "You will summon the number of animals, who knows if you will summon the centipede again, before finding a place to go out, I think we had better stay together and not be separated for a second." ”
Chen Bing replied with a wry smile: "Do you know that centipedes can freely shuttle through the sand, but they are limited to the sand layer within three meters, and it is impossible for them to move no matter how deep they are." ”
"Then there's no guarantee that you won't summon any other animals, maybe this place is the one you deliberately arranged for the calculators? Hmph, no matter what you say, I won't believe it anymore. Get up, don't lie down. ”
Chen Bing saw that he couldn't move me, and he didn't say anything more, and after the two stood up silently, they walked to the side one after the other. I clearly felt the unevenness of the soles of my feet, and the soft texture of fine sand, which should have been the sand we brought down from the top just now. I didn't hold the knife against Chen Bing all the time, but just tugged at the rope that bound his hand from behind, so that even if something happened suddenly, I could react and not let the cunning him escape.
After a few fights, it was judged that although this Chen Bing had thaumaturgical skills, his kung fu was not very good, plus he was shot in the leg, and then his head was broken again, and he lost a lot of blood, so I can still deal with him as a sixty-year-old man.
Walking quickly in the dark, Chen Bing walked in front and couldn't use his hands tied behind his back, so he could only move forward a little bit by his feet and groped. I don't rush him, at this time, patience is a test of people, take Sheng Shiyao's words, impetuousness is a taboo. The heart lake swept the waves, and I thought of him again, I sank into my thoughts, at this time, I can only find a way to find them if I go out first.
Just as I was thinking about it, Chen Bing, who was walking in front of me, suddenly stopped, and I almost hit him on the back. "Why don't you leave?"
He said, "There is no way. I stepped forward, reached out to touch it, and sure enough, I touched the hard stone wall, and estimated the distance I had just walked, about fifteen meters. So we turned around and walked the other way, and after walking about thirty meters, there was no way out. It seems that the place is closed, and the only exit is the hole where we slid down.
Walk back to the falling position and measure the distance from the opening where we just slid down, because no matter which side we went just now, there were stone walls on both sides of the road behind. I just hate that I don't have lighting tools such as flashlights, otherwise I don't need to measure it so troublesomely, and soon it was measured that the mouth of the slide was nearly ten meters wide, and the slope was very steep, and there should be an angle of more than 60 degrees, no wonder the speed of the slide was very fast.
The two of them decided to take another look, and this time I let go of one of Chen Bing's hands, and the rope was wrapped around my wrist. As we walked, we tapped on the stone wall on the right to see if there were any secret doors or traps or anything like that. It's time-consuming, you have to grope through it from top to bottom, even under your feet, and you still don't get anything back and forth.
Chen Bing couldn't help but say dejectedly: "Are we really going to be trapped and die here? ”
"No way, there must be something we have leaked, otherwise where does the air come from?"
"Perhaps...... Maybe there was a blowhole, somewhere on the steep slope we were sliding down, but it wasn't down there. Chen Bing hesitantly gave his answer, I thought about it, and felt that it was not impossible, so he said: "Then let's try it and see if we can climb up." ”
Chen Bing said: "I can't do it, this slope is too steep, my legs can't climb." After saying that, he sat down on the ground, knowing that he was telling the truth, and just now he felt that he could not support it, and he walked all the way to the stone wall so that he did not fall. So I didn't force him, so I tapped a little bit on the steep slope to find it, and even tried to climb up, but the stone wall was too slippery, and there was no focus, at most two meters would slide down.
When he tried to slide to the bottom for the third time, Chen Bing sighed and said, "Little girl, don't try again, you can't climb up." It is a funnel-shaped stone cave, probably a trap dug by hunters in the desert a long time ago, in order to trap those vicious beasts, and the yellow sand that has been washed and buried for many years has been crushed under the thick sand. ”
"I don't believe it, since this is a man-made trap, then the hunter must find a way to get the prey out, there must be a way, but we didn't find it."
"Hunters have a way to get their prey out of thin air, and even if there is a way, it will only be a clever pass at the top, and we can't reach that height, otherwise some ferocious beasts won't all run away?" Chen Bing's speculation and judgment are actually very reasonable, but I don't want to listen to it, because listening to it means compromise.
Until the last moment of my life, I will never compromise, which is my philosophy.
With the physical strength and the air still sufficient, you must survive in the cracks. I pulled out the Shadow Moon, and since I couldn't find the trick, I had to force it, and stabbed at the stone wall on the right, the Shadow Moon's sharpness was always invincible, and there was nothing it couldn't pierce. But this time, it was not that Shadow Moon didn't stab the stone wall, but that it only pierced the tip of the tip, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't go any deeper.
There must be something behind this stone wall that is incredibly strong.
