Chapter 754: Poisonous Miasma
No abnormalities were found along the way, and there didn't seem to be much change around the stone road, and there were still a lot of vine branches scattered by He Wenqin on the ground, and the knife marks left by Lao Ruan in advance were still very clear when they entered the door hole of the Sanxuan Suppression Array.
During the time we entered the rift valley, there should have been more than one rain outside, and the weeds and some broken trees that had been scattered on the stone road were all washed away, and there was a faint moisture in the air.
"Doesn't seem to be a problem." Lao Ruan took a closer look at the surrounding environment and breathed a sigh of relief.
I still didn't dare to be careless, so I turned around and said to the people present: "Granny Gu, Old He, Uncle Ruan, please keep watch here, if you find a problem, notify me as soon as possible." Uncle Bai, Lin'er, let's go in and have a look. ”
After saying that, I took the lead in the doorway, and Lin'er and Bai Laogou followed closely behind.
I've already walked the first part of the way in the doorway, and there are no more mechanisms in this place that haven't been activated, so it's safe to walk.
Half of the jacket I left here is gone, presumably taken away by a stalker, and there are still some plastic food bags on the ground. I leaned over and looked at the bags, they were all used for bread flour, the material of the bags was very soft, it barely made a sound when it was torn open, the bread flour itself was a crumbly thing, it didn't move when it tasted like it, and it didn't smell too much.
At least one of the two stalkers was so thoughtful that he prepared his food so meticulously.
This makes me a little worried, with such a person, the other party is afraid that it will not be so easy for me to fall for my plan.
Bai Laogou also saw some problems, and at this time he was chattering on the side: "You are careful enough." ”
I threw down the bag in my hand, picked up the flashlight, and touched it forward.
The two stalkers walked quite deep, and most of the traps had been activated, during which I found a crossbow bolt stuck diagonally into the floor, stained with blood, apparently wounded.
But I couldn't find any blood other than this bolt.
The methods of these two stalkers seem to be very clever, and the three Xuan Suppression Formation of the old Jin family did not pose much of a threat to them.
The old white dog didn't know when he walked in front of me, there was a tunnel in front of him, and the old white dog didn't think about it, so he took a step and walked towards the tunnel.
I hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Bai, stay!" ”
The white old dog made a sudden stop, stopped his feet on the spot, and turned his head to look at me: "What's wrong?" ”
I noticed that there were several pieces of clothing in the tunnel, stained with green, as if a layer of poison powder had been attached to them.
At first glance, it looks like two trackers have been hit when they enter the tunnel, but I scanned the light into the tunnel and noticed that there were still a lot of metal reflections on the walls, apparently the mechanism inside was not fully activated.
I suspect that the two stalkers didn't go in at all, but just threw two pieces of cloth in and went in to find out.
"Uncle Bai, you withdraw first." I waved to the old white dog and held a flashlight to the entrance of the tunnel.
The old white dog consciously stepped aside, I leaned on the edge of the tunnel, and looked carefully at the situation inside, there were some small holes in the wall with metal edges, and several holes were also stained with green powder on the edges, and there was a square opening at the top of the tunnel, ten centimeters square, covered with a very fine layer of barbed wire.
I told Bai Laogou and Lin'er to retreat a little bit, and then blew hard into the square opening at the top of the tunnel.
As expected, the mechanism in the tunnel can sense people's anger, and when I spit it out, a large amount of poisonous powder was sprayed out of the small hole in the road wall, and these powders were very finely crushed, floating in the air, and soon formed a thick poisonous mist.
The stalker didn't go in, otherwise he would have been poisoned inside. Even if you hold your breath, you can't pass through the past, angry this thing, it's not that you don't breathe, it doesn't exist, the reason why the two trackers can use the fragments of their clothes to urge the mechanism is because the clothes on the people are also stained with anger.
It's just that the anger stained on the clothes is limited after all, so there is very little poisonous powder attracted.
The volume of anger determines the amount of poison powder sprayed...... I can probably guess the exact structure of this miasma array.
The old white dog asked me from a distance, "Do you see what's coming?" ”
I responded, "They didn't go any further." ”
"They didn't go any further, so where did they go?"
"There are only two roads here, and if you don't go forward, you can only get out."
With that, I beckoned to Bai Laogou and Lin'er, and quickly led them out of the Sanxuan Suppression Formation and back to the stone road.
Gu Granny They are still guarding the stone road, He Wenqin has a fever, and Lao Ruan is taking care of him carefully.
Now I'm pretty sure the stalkers weren't left around, and if they were lurking around there, they would have done so.
Then I looked out into the woods, and looked over the rainforest, and finally landed on the low hill to the southeast, behind which was the depression, where we had intended to set up an ambush.
"Lin'er, let a few Gu Xun go over to find out the situation." I pointed to the top of the low hill and said to Lin'er, "Pay more attention to the situation in the depression." ”
Lin'er immediately released the Gu Hunt, and within fifteen minutes, the Gu worm returned, Lin'er said that the Gu Xun found some strange traces in the depression, but no human figure was seen.
I asked Lin'er what kind of traces Xun Gu found, and Lin'er didn't know, only said that Xun Gu was not a human after all, and a lot of the information they passed back was not so specific.
But in any case, there is something unusual on the other side of the depression.
After that, I asked Lao Ruan if we could get around the depression and get out of here by other means. Lao Nguyen said that it is not impossible to detour, but if you want to bypass the depression, you either need to cross a mountain stream in the direction of due north, the stream is extremely dangerous, it is not easy to get over, do not take the mountain stream, you have to cross a group of mountains in the south direction, Cambodians call the mountains there "Lost Soul Ridge", it is easy to get lost after entering, if you are lucky, you are just trapped in the mountain, if you are unlucky, you may run to the boundary of the temple of Ssarri.
I don't know much about Oriental affairs, and I don't know what kind of place Lao Ruan's "Shali Temple" is, but when he mentions this place, the expression on his face is very uncomfortable, and it is probably not a good place.
In fact, I also understand what Lao Ruan meant, he said that he could take a detour, but in fact, he still wanted to tell me that there was a risk in detouring, and the best choice was to return the same way.
As soon as he said this, he thought of Lin'er and said, there are some strange traces in the depression, and I can basically conclude that the trackers may have made arrangements in the depression and planned to ambush us, and they know very well in their hearts that we have a great chance of passing through the depression.
After a moment of contemplation, I turned my gaze to the top of the low mountain, where the branches on the top of the hill were shaking in the wind.
Now the southeast wind is blowing in the whole South Sea, but this small area around Niukou Mountain is blowing northwest wind, and the wind direction has never changed since we came here until now.
I asked Lin'er: "You say, why didn't those two people who followed us enter the poisonous miasma array of Lao Jin's family?" ”
Lin'er thought for a moment and said, "Because they discovered the mechanism in the tunnel in advance, or they found out that they had fallen for you." ”
"You're half right." I clasped my hands around and thought about it, and muttered to myself: "Ordinary organs, it seems that they can't stop those two people, but they are very afraid of poison, so they have to quit halfway." Miasma...... It's their weakness. ”
At this point, I immediately turned around and entered the Sanxuan Pressure Array, and ran to the tunnel where the Poison Miasma Array was located, and Bai Laogou and Lin'er also came in together, probably to see what I was going to do.
I didn't talk nonsense, I just started to tear down the wall.
Lao Jin's family buried a lot of skins used to hold poison in the wall, each of which was the size of a basketball, filled with green poison powder, and on the skin, there was also a circle of fish tendons of cloth silverfish. Clothfisher is a special fish that only appears in underwater tombs, they are highly poisonous, and there is a long tendon on the fish bone, which has the ability to sense anger, and is especially sensitive to the anger of living people.
Behind the square opening at the top of the tunnel are many slender copper pipes, which are buried in the wall and connected to the poison sac, once there is life into the square mouth, it will follow the copper pipe to contact the fish tendons on the poison sac, and the fish tendons will immediately shrink after sensing the anger, squeezing out the poisonous powder in the skin sac.
If you want to prevent the leakage of toxic powder, you only need to plug the hole in the wall before tearing down the wall.
I'm not afraid of poison, but I'm afraid of waste.
After removing seven or eight poison sacs, I felt that it was almost there, so I tied all the sacs with ropes, turned my head and shouted to the white old dog and Lin'er outside the tunnel: "Stay away from me, I have a lot of poisonous powder on my body." ”
Lin'er immediately ran out to inform the people outside, the white old dog had been waiting for me, and when I dragged a bunch of poison sacs out of the tunnel, he glanced at me and said, "Those two people are also unlucky enough to meet you." ”
"Uncle Bai, you hurry up and take Granny Gu and Lao Ruan up the low mountain, make arrangements there, and we may have to fight a volley."
"Gotcha."
The old white dog answered, turned his head and ran outside.
When I dragged the poison sac back to the stone road, the white old dog and the others had long since disappeared, and only Lin'er stayed behind to take care of He Wenqin.
Not to mention, the poisonous powder prepared by the old Jin family is quite heavy, and I was a little panting just by carrying out these poisonous sacs, so I could only stop and rest for a while. During this time, I looked at the sky, and it was sunny now, and it was estimated that it would not rain for a long time.
An hour later, I finally carried the poison sac up the low mountain, and the white old dog set up a delicate yin and yang array, and the ancient grandmother put worms on the mountain, but the things they arranged were not large, and the concealment was relatively high.
The northwest wind was blowing, and I distanced myself from the old white dog, tore the poison sacs one by one, and threw them all down the hillside.
When the wind blew from the top of the mountain, it whistled towards the depression, and together with a large amount of poisonous powder sprinkled from the poison sac, it was also sealed and blown into the depression.
