"Little ghost, I'll see how long you can last!" The rickety old man wore a dark green mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, staring at the workbench, his fingers pressed on the crossbow, ready to shoot Du Dian who was fighting back to the death. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In vain-
Sou!
A dark shadow flew out from behind the workbench.
The rickety old man instinctively pressed his fingers, and with a click, the crossbow arrow shot out, and the short arrow sped out, but it did not hit the black shadow, but nailed to the wooden cabinet behind it.
At this time, the black shadow fell at the feet of the rickety old man, and it turned out to be a realgar powder bottle.
His face changed, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see Du Dian jumping up from the ground, but instead of going around the workbench and pounced on him, he turned around and jumped to the counter on the side, grabbing the bottles and cans on it with both hands, and several of them touched the bottles and cans, which fell to the ground and broke, spilling powder.
The rickety old man was furious, this was all the experimental materials he had painstakingly collected and carefully grinded, and he was knocked to the ground like this, he gritted his teeth, quickly replenished the crossbow arrows, and aimed at Dudian.
However, in the short time he had reloaded his bolts, Dudian had retracted under the workbench again.
"Damn imp!!" The rickety old man was so angry that his eyes almost breathed fire, but several misses made him a little jealous of Du Di'an, and he did not step forward with a crossbow angrily. He didn't believe it himself, but he really felt a threat from this child.
"I'd like to see how long you can last!" The rickety old man looked at the green mist that permeated the secret room, and his eyes were as cold as frost.
"Caught!" Du Dian was holding a large glass bottle with half a bottle of sulfur powder inside, at this time, he felt less and less oxygen in his lungs, and the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but turn pale, and quickly looked around, looking for the fire sickle, however, although the things of the rickety old man were scattered, there was no fire sickle nearby.
"No fire! No fire! ”
There was some despair in Du Di's peace of mind, and he finally thought of a way, but there was no fire, in vain, he saw the shadow above his head, which was reflected by the oil lamp, and in an instant, he opened his eyes sharply and looked at the place where the oil lamp was.
is impartial, right at the rickety old man's table.
The oil lamp was obviously used for his work lighting, and it was not far away.
The despair in Du Di's peace of mind suddenly disappeared, and at this time, he felt that his chest was about to explode, hurriedly took off his underwear, knotted the hem, and then poured the sulfur in the large glass bottle along the neckline, and immediately a full of sulfur powder bulged up in the underwear, he gritted his teeth, life and death in this move, and threw the underwear out with a low roar in his heart.
Sou!
The rickety old man watched a large black shadow fly in, instinctively pulled the trigger again, and the crossbow arrow shot out instantly, hitting the corner of his underwear. The sharp crossbow bolt pierced through in an instant, nailing to the wooden cabinet behind it. His face changed, worried about fraud, and hurriedly raised his hand to block it, and with a bang, the underwear was blocked by his arm, and it happened to fall on the table in his hand.
With a bang, the oil lamp was knocked over, and the fire core burned with the overturned oil and water, which flowed onto the underwear and immediately burned.
Du Dian raised his head as early as he heard the crossbow arrow nailed to the wooden cabinet, knowing that the old man had not filled the second crossbow arrow so quickly for a while, but he happened to see his underwear burning, his face changed, and he hurriedly lay down.
Boom!!!
A thunderous explosion rang out, and the wooden planks on the roof of the chamber collapsed, sending a large amount of sand and dust pouring down.
Dudian felt that the workbench in front of him was knocked down by a huge force, hitting him, and the corners were knocked on his ribs, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
At this time, his breath was no longer able to be maintained, although he was trying his best to restrain himself, he still inhaled a breath of air, only to feel full of fishy smell and sulfur, the fishy smell was the same as the smell of green mist he had smelled before, and his mind was dizzy, and his limbs were sore.
At this time, where the top of his head collapsed, the cold wind rolled in, rolling out the sulfur and green mist in the air, Du Dian slumped to the ground, tightened his chest, and inhaled the air very slowly, the previous sulfur explosion washed away a lot of the green mist in the secret room, and at this moment, with the dust and mist of sulfur flying outside, the smell was much lighter, he inhaled a little bit against the ground, and did not smell the fishy smell again.
After a while, Du Dian felt that he could barely move, and immediately slowly got up, this secret room had been blown open, no one knew when it would completely collapse, he didn't want to be buried alive by the sand!
The previous explosion blew out all the oil lamps in the secret room, and now this secret room is like a deep pit in the desert, and it is pitch black inside.
Du Dian gritted his teeth slightly, and groped his way in the direction of the rickety old man by the faint starlight, bumping and bumping at his feet along the way, all of which were collapsed wooden cabinets and tables. Relying on the distance and terrain he had memorized before, he quickly touched the location of the rickety old man, and the first thing he touched was the table that was overturned on its side, he groped along the table, and immediately touched a wet and sticky thing, and then touched it carefully, and immediately his face became ugly.
Inside the wet sticky thing was something hard, like bones.
Although it was in the dark, he seemed to see the tragic state of the corpse of the rickety old man lying in front of him, and he felt chills everywhere, but he didn't expect the power of this sulfur explosion to be so terrifying, you know, this sulfur has not been made into black powder, and the reason why it will heat up and explode is completely the principle of dust explosion.
"I killed someone......" Du Di trembled slightly in peace of mind, this is a human life, although he has seen too many broken and poor in this world, as well as distorted and incomplete laws, but killing people with his own hands is something he can't think of, for a while, he only felt that in the darkness around him, there seemed to be the ghost of the other party, staring at himself coldly behind the invisible.
He trembled slightly, gritted his teeth, and said secretly in his heart: "I am self-preservation, no wonder me, I am just self-preservation, and I have not committed a crime...... Thinking of this, he suddenly clenched his fists, his heart was full of sadness, the law he obeyed had long disappeared from this world, even if he had sinned, who could condemn him?
He smiled abruptly, in this dark pit, in this place where the starlight could not shine, he suddenly felt so lonely, as if he was forgotten by the whole world, this lonely loneliness, gradually made his trembling body relax, his heart was suddenly not so afraid, but there was a faint indifference, he silently looked at the dark place of the corpse of the rickety old man, and after a long time, he slowly moved his body, but instead of leaving, he bent down and groped on the ground.
He's looking for that crossbow!
