Book 1: The Cave of Snow Ridge Chapter 63: Sacrifice Your Life for Righteousness
When Uncle Nine and the others were still preparing to light the fire, the fat man and I had already taken the lead, holding torches to drive away the root tendrils of the ghost ginseng.
Seeing that the effect was good, the fat man couldn't help but get up, and generally used a torch to scald the roots, while saying, "Oops! Didn't you fucking drag it just now, why wouldn't this be majestic? ”
But our coats are all velvet and padded clothes, these two materials are characterized by fast burning, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out of the encirclement, the fire will be extinguished.
So I thought we'd have the crowd light two after the other, so that the torches could continue until we were out of the encirclement of these bloodthirsty roots.
But who would have thought that when I just turned my head and yelled "Wait a minute...... Lan Xin and the others had already lit all the fires one by one.
What made me cry even more was that the swallow was still holding a torch and looking at me with curious baby eyes and asking, "What's wrong?" Brother Wang. ”
"Hey! It's okay. I reluctantly changed what I wanted to say about two or two ignitions to "Everyone be careful." ”
As I said, when the torches of the crowd had not been held for long, the fat man's fire had been extinguished, and he immediately shouted, "Oh, I'll go!" Then he ran behind me, dodging the very difficult ginseng roots that were close to him.
I looked at the torches in everyone's hands and almost burned, but the place out of the pit was still densely packed with ginseng roots, and I am afraid that when the torches in our hands have not yet reached the mouth of the burial pit, we will become the burial goods of this burial pit first.
In desperation, everyone had to retreat to the small rock position where we had just stood.
When he just retreated, he saw that the torch in the ghost's hand was already dying, when the ghost suddenly raised the torch, slashed his arm, and threw the sapper with the fire at the terrifying ghost ginseng that was asking for his life in the dark.
The ghost's action caused everyone to turn their eyes to the shining torch that swirled towards the ghost ginseng in the darkness, and everyone's eyes were full of hope.
When I saw that the torch was about to approach the ghost ginseng, my heart beat faster, and in an instant my whole body fell into tension and hope.
But how did he expect that the ghost ginseng wrapped the four large rock-like leaves on the top of his head, and after the sapper shovel with the torch hit the leaves, the sparks splashed and fell into the sludge, and the dark green venom and sludge secreted by the ghost ginseng were extinguished.
This extinguishing was not only the extinguishing of the torches, but also the destruction of everyone's hope of saving their lives.
When everyone sighed in unison, the clever swallow was quick-eyed, and at this moment he took out the Desert* Eagle and gave the ghost ginseng two shots with two bangs, but what made everyone angry and anxious was that the bullets didn't work fuckingly, and all the leaves of the ghost ginseng were blocked.
Lan Xin was not reconciled, and took off the sniper rifle on his back to fire again, although the gunfire was much louder and the bullet was much fiercer, but unfortunately it was just the same result, and the bullet once again blocked the leaf on the top of the ghost ginseng's head.
Seeing this, I was angry and anxious, but there was nothing I could do, I couldn't imagine that the young master who had always learned Lei Feng's good example was going to end my young life, and suddenly the feeling in my heart was really hard to say, I only felt that I was born with an inexplicable fear, not that I was afraid of death, but that I was afraid that there would be too many regrets left in this life before I had time to complete it, and I would die of death. I had to sigh that I couldn't see the smoke and rain before I died.
Soon all of us burned out one by one, and the extinguishing of the torches was like the bad news of death.
And the bloodthirsty roots half a meter away came closer to us with each extinguishing torch.
Each of the roots salivated, dripping venom as our torches went out.
We couldn't help but retreat, and with each step back, we got closer to the swamp behind us that ate people and didn't spit out bones, and if we retreated, we would swallow the swamp into hell.
At this moment, I really have a deep understanding of the saying that there is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, and I have tasted the taste of being in a desperate situation.
I really want to go up and chop a few shovels for these ginseng roots in front of me, but as long as I cut such a small area, the corrosive venom will inevitably splash all over us, which is undoubtedly self-defeating.
Just when everyone had nothing to do and could only sit and wait for death, the ghost suddenly took out a grenade* bomb and said to everyone in a heavy tone, "Brothers and sisters, there is only this grenade * bomb left, either kill a few roots, and then we will kill ourselves one by one, or we will be glorious bullets, and everyone will be killed directly together." ”
Before everyone could speak, the ghost added, "In my opinion, it's better to bounce the glory and die a fucking death." ”
I thought to myself, "Oh my damn, this dead ghost has already made up his mind, and he's talking to us about it." ”
But then again, it is the same, with his body being eroded alive by the root ginseng and dying, it is better to blow it up himself, which is also more painful, and it is also a good man to be blown up like this.
I thought about stopping there, so I yelled at the ghost, "Come!" Blow it up, and let me fuck me be a man who looks at death as if he were home. ”
Just when everyone had already done the feat of dying, Xiao Jing, who was behind everyone, suddenly reported a way to survive, only to hear her say, "Don't panic, everyone, you can see that the width of this swamp is a little more than two meters." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and they all looked back.
Since we were in the dark, and because we had just been surrounded by the roots of the ginseng, and because we saw the people in our company swallowing up the swamp, no one in the panic did not observe the area of the swamp.
That's easy, as long as the ghost with a bounce power beyond ordinary people is determined to jump over the long jump first, and then I'll help everyone here to help them jump one by one, so that they can jump smoothly.
Say that it's too late, then it's fast, the plan is certain, the ghost should jump over first, to say that the ghost is worthy of the birth of special forces, the physical fitness is just now, and even the bounce power is quite amazing, I saw that his fierce feet on the spot made a force, and he easily jumped over the swamp of more than two meters.
The ghost left me with grenades* before it passed, so that I could have it in case I needed it.
Then I pushed everyone over one by one, and when I got to the fat man, I saw that the fat man had stuck the torches that had not been extinguished on the ground one by one, forming a protective circle, but seeing that those torches were already dying, there was not much time left for us, and it was estimated that all the torches would be extinguished in less than a minute.
"Fatty! Don't fucking rub it off, get over it. I exclaimed.
The fat man approached me as soon as he spoke, but the fat man and I both knew that we could only pass by one of us, because the torches could not last until both of us had passed.
Since the fat man is heavier, pushing on the spot doesn't work, so I use two people to grab and rotate in a circle, using inertial force.
Unexpectedly, the fat man put his hands around my waist, turned his body, and then violently shook me up and shouted, "Brother!" Walk you. ”
The fat man has great strength, and he threw me one hundred and sixty pounds across the swamp, and as soon as I landed, I found that the grenade * that I had just hung on my waist was missing, and at this moment I was suddenly confused, I knew the fat man, and I knew the little ninety-nine in his heart.
I saw that the torches next to the fat man on the opposite side were extinguished twice, and the roots of the ghost ginseng, which had been waiting for a long time and were hungry and thirsty, narrowed the scope again.
"Grass" I couldn't help but feel a clump in my heart, and scolded, "Dead fatty, don't do stupid things, come here." ”
Xiao Jing beside me also saw what the fat man wanted to do, and cried, "Fat man, come over to me, don't you still want to chase me, fat man......." Xiao Jing was really crying, crying so sadly.
And the fat man just calmly picked up the grenade * bomb and shouted, "People are inherently dead, but for the sake of my brothers, for my fat man, I like the person I like, it's worth dying, and now my fat man will also fuck Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, brothers, the fat man will go first." ”
And at this moment, the torches were extinguished one by one, and all the long-waiting ghost ginseng roots rushed up, and the fat man left me a last sentence when he saw this: "Brother! Xiao Jing will ask you to take care of her. ”
Then, when all the tendrils are about to touch him, pull the safety ring of the grenade* bomb.
At this moment, I felt as if the whole world was silent, so quiet that I could only hear the sound of the safety ring of the grenade bomb hitting the ground, and the sound was crisp enough to break my heart.
I seem to hear the thick and honest laughter of the fat man in the past, and the bits and pieces of my past with the fat man are constantly projected in my mind, from the first time we drank on the balcony in freshman year, the first time we fought with others, the first time we fell in love with a girl at the same time, the first time the two of us quarreled, broke up and so on......
At this moment, I only feel a wave of sadness in my heart, I can't believe that the fat man who is more than two meters away from me is about to be blown to pieces, just for us to evacuate safely, and I am powerless to return to the sky, all these emotions happen in just a second or two.
I stared intently at the fat man, trying to remember what the fat brother looked like now, because at this moment in my eyes the fat man is great.
Soon! With a muffled "bang", the grenade * bomb exploded.
But what I couldn't believe was that it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the dazzling glare suddenly illuminated the whole pit and ditch as bright as day, including my eyes.
I secretly said in my heart, "I grass! It turned out to be a flash. ”
And all the roots of those ghost ginseng inexplicably retracted, and even the ghost ginseng that was invulnerable to water and fire, and the ghost ginseng that had been in the dark all wrapped all the leaves tightly at once, as if they were protecting themselves.
"Damn, these black market profiteers actually made flashbangs in the shape of grenades to trick me," the ghost said and exhaled, as if he had been holding back this breath for a long time, and then laughed with relief, adding "But fortunately it's not a real grenade*, otherwise the fat brother would have really died honorably." ”
At this moment, Xiao Jing was still crying and shouting, "Dead fatty, you scared me to death." But this time she cried with joy, Xiao Jing cried and smiled, wiped her tears, and then said, "Fatty! Come here. ”
Seeing that Xiao Jing cared about him so much, the fat man on the opposite side completely forgot to show a false alarm, but took a few steps back with a hippie smile, and then jumped over with a run-up.
As soon as the fat man came over, he hugged a bear, and hugged Xiao Jing, who was still smiling and crying, in his arms, and the two of them completely regarded everyone as air, showing their affection without scruples.
Seeing this scene, my heart was underwhelmed, and while I was happy for the fat man, I also inexplicably mixed a little sadness and loss, maybe because the fat man and Xiao Jing reminded me of the smoke and rain and sadness, or because Xiao Jing's indifferent attitude towards me now made me lost, in short, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
Sadness and loss aside, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get over my face, I really wanted to hold the fat man's head and kiss him fiercely.
Soon the fat man found out that I was not in the right mood, maybe he quickly separated from Xiao Jing because of my feelings, and smiled at me awkwardly, after all, everyone knew that I had a little episode with Xiao Jing before.
"Okay, I said you two don't show affection, let's go, I see that ghost ginseng is about to move again." The wolf-eyed flashlight in the ghost's hand was talking to the ghost ginseng in the darkness.
I looked at the pillar of light of the wolf's eye flashlight, and it was true, the huge leaves of the ghost ginseng had begun to slowly open, and several bloodthirsty roots had begun to move out of the sludge from under the body of the ghost ginseng.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly marched to the black and oppressive ditch in front of them.
No one knows where the darkness of the trench leads?
But there is no way, our current situation is no way back, rather than sit and wait for death to find a way to survive, just like the old saying, anything bad to a certain extent it will naturally become better, just like the boat to the bridge naturally straight, the car to the mountain before there must be a road a meaning, we have just suffered two times nine deaths, no matter how you look away.
On the way, Shanzi and I discussed and came to the conclusion that the reason why the flashbang just now made the roots of the ghost ginseng retreat and hurriedly retreated into the sludge under the ghost ginseng, the reason why the ghost ginseng is not far from ten is because the ghost ginseng belongs to the yin plant, because it has grown in this kind of black underground for many years, so it can't see the strong light of the flashing light.
During the discussion, I found that Uncle Nine had been observing the surroundings in obscurity, and it was not as vigilant as to prevent the feeling of danger approaching, so I also shifted my attention from my discussion with Shanzi to this ditch.
The ditch we are walking in is obviously much wider than the previous one, and under the light column of the wolf's eye flashlight, it is not difficult to see that the ditch we are currently in is obviously man-made, and it is quite elegant.
I saw that the two sides of the ditch, which were more than six or seven meters wide, were quite flat, and it did not look like a natural rock formation, so out of curiosity, I approached and took a closer look, and found that it was a wall made of stone bricks.
Odd! How can there be such a wall of such a figure in the trench here? And looking at the stone quality and technique, it is not difficult to see that it belongs to a particularly long age.
Could it be that there is really a tomb here, it is estimated that the scale should not be small, and it is not clear what kind of ancient tomb of emperors and generals, but why is this ancient tomb built in this icy and snowy mountainside?
I wanted to call the fat man and Shanzi to come over to study and study, but at this time, there was a sudden scream of "ah" in front of me, and the voice was Lao Jin's.
Suddenly I became nervous, thinking to myself, is it possible to have an accident again? He immediately rushed to the location where the sound came from.
Everyone also rushed to hear the sound, and several flashlights shone one one after another, but Lao Jin was nowhere to be seen.
It was the old gold discovered by Lanxin first.
I saw Lao Jin lying under a slope, and the flashlight fell on the side, and he sat up slowly after everyone came, and he was knee-high on the first floor of the building.
Shanzi asked, "Why are you so careless?" ”
"Just now I was just looking at the walls on both sides of this ditch, and I didn't pay attention to my feet, and I accidentally fell down this slope." Old Jin said and prepared to get up.
Shanzi suddenly became serious and said, "Old Jin! Tap and you're on the mica layer. ”
When Shanzi said this, my flashlight beam happened to fall in the direction of Lao Jin, and after Shanzi reminded me, I was stunned, and I couldn't believe what I saw with my eyes.
In fact, Lao Jin's life and death are really not my main concern, but the scene behind him really breathes me away, I think I need to redefine my understanding of the world, if I have to describe the scene I see in one sentence, then I think it should be the world is full of wonders.
I saw that behind Lao Jin there was a crystal body that was as tall as ten thousand feet high, rising straight from the foot of his feet, it was a continuous mica layer, the whole mica layer was like a huge mirror inlaid on the rock wall with stone slabs, and what surprised me the most was the silver shining inside the mica layer.
At first, I thought it was the refraction of the flashlight on the mica layer, but I soon found out that this was not the case, because the silver light flickered and flickered, and it didn't look like a reflection of our flashlight beam.
On the contrary, it seems that there is something in the mica layer, because the strong light of the wolf's eye flashlight penetrates the mica layer, and shines on it, so it emits this flickering silver light.
The first thing that came to my mind was that there was a whole patch of corundum under the mica layer.
The fat man was also attracted by the flash behind the mica layer, and stood on the top of the old gold, that is, on the side of the mica layer, and probed his brain in that probe, looking at what he wanted to see, as if he had found some treasure, and he wanted to go down the slope to find out, but he did not dare to go down, because directly below the slope was the mica layer.
As for Lao Jin, he didn't go to the mica layer to find corundum like before, and he didn't dare to do it again, because if he did it again, he wouldn't say whether he would fall to his death, but I promised that he would be beaten to death by me and the fat man, and I wasn't joking. This time, Lao Jin cautiously left the mica layer under his feet, and with the help of Shanzi, he climbed out of the slope lightly.
The fat man, who had been watching what was under the mica layer, suddenly shouted, "Come on!" Come and see! Listening to his tone, he was visibly excited.
"What's wrong?" I asked, and prepared to approach the fat man.
The fat man gently leaned his hands on the mica layer and pressed his head against his hands, "This...... There's something underneath this mica layer, and it looks like an ancient city. ”
What the? Gu cheng? Did I hear me right, there's an ancient city underground? This immediately reminded me of the palace I had seen earlier and disappeared into thin air, so I couldn't help but quicken my pace and get closer to the fat man.
