261. The two sides fight

Liu Yue was lying. This thought crossed my mind, even if Liu Yue's eyes did not flicker when she spoke, and her expression was doubtful, but I still believed that she must have hidden something, even if she was not completely lying.

As she said, she and Fake Yingning have lived in Soul City for a while, and they must be able to notice details that we don't know. Then I remembered what she had said to me with specious and deep meaning, and it was clear that she should know something, but she would not say it.

I didn't ask her anything, no matter what reason she wanted to hide, one thing is certain, she won't harm Sheng Shiyao and Zhou Tong, at most, she has a plan for me, which I'm not afraid of. After only resting for a while, everyone decided to go back to the Shark Palace, but how to get out of this palace was a problem. There are flocks of cuckoos biting people on the upper floor, and there are strange hands in the secret passages, both paths are blocked, and now that we are in this space, maybe the next second the cuckoos will come.

Zhuang Yu saw that we were all scared and asked what was going on. Only then did he remember that he and Jian Ning hadn't come out since they were dragged into the rift by strange hands, so they didn't know about the danger in the inner courtyard of the palace. After listening to us, his face became very calm, and he exuded a cold breath, only to hear him say gloomily: "The ghosts in the inner courtyard and the strange hands in the secret passage are probably my dead people of the Dian Kingdom. Because of that catastrophe, they were never able to live beyond the heavens, and they were trapped in this dark underwater city. ”

I've thought about this possibility before, but after all, I'm two thousand years later, and I don't have feelings for those ancients, so I just flashed my thoughts. Unlike Zhuang Yu, when he saw his subjects die and become ghost monsters, this kind of pain is probably only he can experience.

In the end, it was decided to take the land instead of the passage, because there are countless strange hands underneath, and the passage is long and narrow, and there is no way to avoid it. Several of us, in particular, were not badly injured, my head was broken, and after treatment, I wrapped a circle of gauze around my head; And the most seriously injured is Zhuang Yu, he has damaged his heart when he fought against the evil spirit, and later he was injured by fake Yingning, don't look at his normal complexion, in fact, only I know that he is holding on. Therefore, it is absolutely not feasible to take the underpass.

On the contrary, on the ground, because it is the palace of Diancheng City, Zhuang Yu is naturally very familiar with the terrain here, and the maze-like corridor is not difficult for him.

I made the trip right away, and I casually said a reason for it with my eyes, and they didn't ask much. At present, everyone's thoughts are on Sheng Shiyao, who was taken away by Fake Yingning, and they can't wait to grow wings and fly back to the vicinity of the Shark Palace.

Speaking of wings, I thought of the bats driven by Fake Yingning, thinking about it this way, Zhuang Yu speculated that it was more likely that she was the Bat King's soul into the body, otherwise how could she control the bats. Since she is here, the bats must also be here, and I don't know where she will hide them. Also, Zhuang Yu and Jian Ning were dragged into the rift by strange hands, we entered the Shark Palace to the ancient city, so how did she get in?

From the time she said that she was waiting for me in the Shark Palace, she thought that she should enter in the same way as us, but when she entered the wall, it was up to me to break the cracks with my bare hands for everyone to get into, and I have this ability, I think it is also related to the ability of the Divine Stone. Could it be that this fake Ying Ning can also be used?

These are all questions I pondered as I walked on the way back, and they were very tangled, and there were no answers. It was Zhuang Yu who suddenly shouted and made everyone stop, and when he raised his head, he couldn't see what was in the darkness above, but he could clearly feel the depressed aura permeating him. After waiting for two seconds, Liu Yue suddenly shouted: "Look at it! Following the direction she pointed, a black oppression thicker than the darkness of the space was approaching this side.

"Follow me!" Zhuang Yu ordered urgently, turned around and ran. Without hesitation, he chased after him, and the sound of footsteps clicked on people's hearts, trembling irrepressibly. When we rushed into a palace, closed the door and locked it, we let out a long breath. It seems that the choice was the right one, and judging by the size and completeness of this palace, it was enough to withstand the flying creatures.

In fact, we didn't see what it was, it could be a flock of cuckoos that attacked us before, or it might not be, but just looking at the black and oppressive flock, and the dangerous aura that permeated us, we knew that we couldn't stay where we were.

Originally, everyone was relieved and began to look around the palace, but suddenly a pop hit the doors and windows, and when the flashlight shone on it, they found that the shadows cast were very small, not the cuckoo before. When a piece of paper flew in through the window paper, I heard Rokuko shouting, "It's not good, it looks like a wasp!" Zhou Tong roared: "How can there be such a big wasp?" ”

Indeed, it looked very much like a wasp, many times larger than usual. Just by talking, many more burrowed through the cracks, and if such a large wasp were stung, I am afraid that the toxin would immediately numb people.

We looked for a piece of cloth to cover our faces, and we retreated, but this could block one or two, not a group. As Hu Feng advanced more and more, we were also pushed to a desperate position, with no way out. I felt a stinging pain on the back of my hand, and when I retracted my hand and looked back, it was already half black, and it was swollen in an instant, and my hand was unconscious, and this toxicity was really strong.

At this time, the doors and windows were banged with a bang, and they were directly knocked open, and the conditioned reflex followed the eyes to see, and through the faint light, it was found that a behemoth was flapping its wings outside the window. I didn't want to shout: "Zhuang Yu, take everyone into the secret passage!" At this time, I could only choose this way, but Zhuang Yu's answer made everyone despair: "This is my dormitory, and there is no underground secret passage." ”

No wonder this palace looks so luxurious, it turned out to be the bedroom of the King of Dian, and if you want to cry without tears, this is really called walking into a dead end.

Gritting his teeth, he was about to shout "rush", but he heard Zhuang Yu say again: "Push open the screen in the middle, and there is a secret door behind it." At this time, everyone was close together, and when they heard what he said, they rushed to push the screen without saying a word, but after pushing it, they found that it was so heavy, and it took a lot of effort to push it away. In the process, everyone was stung by a wasp.

After the screen was pushed open, a stone door was really revealed, Zhuang Yu stepped forward and rotated the mechanism next to him, and the stone door immediately opened. After quickly rushing in, he immediately closed the stone door, and in this way, a few Hu Feng also chased in, but he was not afraid, and soon slapped them to death. Looking around, it is a closed stone room, no matter how powerful Hu Feng is, it is impossible to break through the stone wall. Looking down at the back of his hand, it was black and swollen, and Zhou Tong was more miserable over there, he was stung on the face, half of his face was swollen, and he couldn't speak.

Fortunately, the medicines have not been lost and can deal with the injuries. Let them deal with it seriously, I leaned against the stone wall and wondered what was the last thing I saw? In terms of shape and size, it looks like a giant bat. If it is, it is not an accident to appear here, just thinking about it, it seems that Ying Ning did bring bats into the ancient city.

I don't know what the situation is outside, will the countless Hu Feng and giant bats be waiting behind this wall, it seems that the urgent need has been temporarily solved, but we can't stay here forever, we still have to find a way to get out.

My arm was clenched, and when I came back to my senses, I looked up and saw that it was Liu Yue who was applying medicine to me. Just now, except for her who was stung and had nothing to do, only Zhuang Yu was not stung. My heart moved slightly, and I asked in a low voice, "Did you see what was outside the window just now?" ”

She was stunned, looked at me, and after a two-second silence, said, "You haven't seen it yet." "This confirms my suspicion that she has been in the company of bats for a while, and will be more sensitive to bats than any of us. And she said in the next sentence: "Not only one, but all the black and oppressive pieces, big and small bats, came." ”

I looked at her in disbelief, "Are you sure?" She replied to me angrily: "I don't believe it." ”

Outside the palace, there is a bad aura on the altar of heaven, and there are ghosts all over the palace, and if the bats are infected with one of them, I am afraid that they will become evil. Suddenly heard the sound of ping-pong outside, I don't know what happened, at this time Zhuang Yu came over, pressed a certain place on the wall, and then a small hole was revealed in the wall, the hole is really small, and the wasp is big, it is impossible to get in.

Zhuang Yu stepped forward to look, and after a moment he looked suspicious and asked him what he saw, but he was silent. I couldn't help but be anxious, took a step forward, and also approached the orifice to inspect, but saw that the opposite side of the hole was extremely dim, fortunately, just now I don't know whose flashlight missed the ground, revealing a little light, and when I saw it clearly, I couldn't help but be shocked and inexplicable.

I actually saw that the bats were fighting with Hu Feng, the number was unimaginable, and there was already a mess outside. Zhuang Yu pressed the mechanism again, closed the small hole, and then said: "Let's take a look later, it's best to kill both sides and lose both." ”

We could only hope for this, and with this effort, everyone sat down on the ground to rest, and took out food and water to replenish their strength. The area of the stone room here is not large, there is only one stone bed, as soon as Jian Ning asked Zhuang Yu what this was for, he hesitated and said that it was a practice room for practicing the black mud technique. Seeing that his expression seemed to be concealed, but he didn't have the heart to ask more questions about the scene.

After waiting for more than an hour, the movement outside gradually began to subside, and I don't know which side won the war. After waiting for another half an hour, and making sure that there was no sound at all, Zhuang Yu pressed Qi Xiaokong again to check. After a while, he said: "Wait for me to open the stone gate and go out, you stay inside first, and then come out when I send the police, the door opening mechanism is here." ”

He pointed to a sunken palm print on the stone wall on the right side and explained it, Jian Ning grabbed him worriedly and asked, "You want to go out alone?" His eyes froze, and he nodded his head, "You are not familiar with the mechanism outside, you can't run back as fast as possible when you find that there is a crisis, just now Xiao Kong can see the limited area, as if the battle is over, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be remnants of Hu Feng and bats left by the side." ”
