Chapter 277: Summoning Smoke
"Where's your brother Xu Lai?" Chen Duo asked in a trembling voice.
Zhang Yichun cried out: "My brother fell in!" ”
It turned out that at the last moment, Zhang Yichun was thrown out by Xu Lai, but he and the cold woman were both buried in it.
Chen Duo hugged the little girl, only to feel trembling, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "It's okay...... It's okay, that thing should be ...... It should be fine. ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard the little girl shouting "Dean".
Chen Duo was startled, and when he turned around, he saw that Dean Guan walked out slowly from behind the forest, and there was a person next to her, with a burly figure, a big head, and a beard, but it was the living king Gou Dahai.
"Wonderful!" The fat man clapped his palms.
Dean Guan smiled slightly: "This formation has been shelved for so many years, and it has finally been used. ”
When Chen Duo heard the conversation between the two, his mind turned sharply, and he immediately understood what was going on.
She had heard Xu say before, in addition to killing people when she saw them, this cold woman seemed to be very interested in children.
The reason why this woman surnamed Guan let Xiao Chunda stand in the forest at night was to lure her into the bait! In order to save Xiaochun, Xu Lai ended up trapping himself.
"My little darling, are you here too?" When Gou Dahai saw Chen Duo, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, but he didn't be happy for long, his face turned black, and he asked urgently, "Who rushed in just now?" ”
Chen Duo hated him very much, where would he take care of him.
"I'm leaning on me, I'm leaning on me!" Gou Dahai shouted, "Hurry up and find someone to dig up the soil!" ”
Dean Guan said, "This can't be dug up, what's going on?" ”
Gou Dahai patted his thigh and said hurriedly: "My baby, it's all over now!" ”
Chen Duo stared at Gou Dahai, this fat man seemed to have changed back, not as terrible as before in the tunnel, I don't know why.
"Dean, what's going on? Hurry up and help Brother Xu Lai, he's still down there. Zhang Yichun cried.
Dean Guan sank his face and said, "What are you crying about, go back to sleep for me!" ”
Chen Duo pulled the little girl behind him, and saw the woman wave her hand, Chen Duo only felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly didn't know what to do.
When she woke up again, she only felt that her eyes were bright, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a very deep mountain pit in front of her.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the bright sun hung overhead, and it was very clear to see.
The crater is about a few tens of meters in diameter and is surrounded by steep rock walls, which are more than ten meters high.
And she was now at the edge of the pit, tied to a stone pillar by the Great Flower Flower.
"Sister Duo'er!" Huo Xixian's voice shouted beside him. He and Uncle Guan were tied to each other, and they were only tied more tightly.
"Where's Brother Xu, Sister Duo'er?" Huo Xixian must have been tied up for a long time, and his face was covered with sweat.
When Xu Lai was mentioned, Chen Duo was sad again.
Although this product is usually quite annoying, but I am used to having this person, and it is gone all of a sudden, and I only feel empty and sour.
Now that I think about it, I haven't paid the first month's rent yet.
For a moment, his eyes were blurred with tears.
At this time, I heard a feminine and shrill voice shouting, "Dean Guan, when did it start?" ”
This voice is very distinctive, and you don't need to look at it to know that it is the fat man of Gou Dahai.
Not far from Chen Duo and the others, there were a few chairs, and the fat man was sitting there, with his legs crossed, and he kept fanning the wind and muttering: "This day is really fucking poisonous!" ”
There was also a person standing next to him holding an umbrella for him.
"Don't worry, wait a minute." Dean Guan sat on a chair next to him, but he didn't hesitate, peeled an orange and ate a petal, waved his hand and said, "Let's start." ”
"What are they going to do?" Horch asked idly.
Uncle Guan shook his head, he didn't know either.
Chen Duo was teary-eyed, only to hear someone on the other side shouting something, and then saw a group of children coming from the east in a neat line and being led to the edge of the cliff.
Dean Guan got up, looked at the team, and said in a loud voice, "Children, do you know what you're going to do today?" ”
This group of children were all wearing white short-sleeved shirts and black trousers, and they were all about the same age, looking like they were in their teens, and there were about twenty or thirty of them.
Girls make up more than half of them.
Hearing Dean Guan's question, the children hesitated a little, and then replied neatly, "I don't know." ”
"Then I'll tell you." Dean Guan smiled and pointed to Gou Dahai beside him, "This is Master Gou, he came to us to choose someone." As long as you are selected by him, you can follow him out, live in a big house, eat delicious food, and wear beautiful clothes! ”
As soon as her words fell, the group of children suddenly made a commotion, and the corners of their mouths rose, revealing an excited expression, but the whole team did not make any sound, obviously they were usually extremely disciplined.
"So I brought you here today just for the assessment!" Dean Guan continued, "If you pass the assessment, you can leave with this Gou Ye!" ”
Although the children did not make a sound, the expressions of excitement and hope already showed that they were eager to try at this time.
Chen Duo squinted and stared, but he didn't find Xiao Chun's figure, and he didn't know if he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, or if he was covered by others.
"Okay, let's get started!" Dean Guan said in a loud voice, then made a gesture and sat down in a chair.
At this time, I saw several people in each of the four places carrying a basket and walking out quickly.
Something seemed to be instructed, and a child stepped forward and sat down in the basket.
It turned out that the basket was tied with a rope, and after the children sat in it, they were lowered into the pit, which was a bit like a simple lift.
The four sides were carried out at the same time, and the speed was still quite fast, and before long, all the children were lowered to the bottom of the pit, and the four bamboo baskets were also put away.
When the children arrived at the bottom of the pit, they spontaneously formed a queue, which shows their discipline.
Although they were quiet and did not make any noise, from the smiles on their faces from time to time, it could be seen that these children were very excited at this time, and they had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time.
Chen Duo searched in the crowd for a long time before finding Zhang Yichun's figure in a corner. Unlike the other children's excited appearances, this little girl stood there with her head hanging down, wooden.
"Can we begin?" Gou Dahai asked while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Dean Guan made a gesture, and suddenly one of them waved a red order flag in his hand and shouted, "Open!" ”
The children at the bottom of the pit stood up straight, and looked up at the dean on the cliff, but their faces were quite confused, because they didn't know how to conduct the assessment.
At this moment, people from each of the four corners of the cliff stepped forward and threw something at the bottom of the pit with their hands.
In a short time, four gray plumes of smoke rose straight from the bottom of the pit in all four directions.
The pillar of smoke was also strange, condensed but not dispersed, like a straight line, rising straight up, until it was about four or five meters above the ground, the pillar of smoke suddenly dispersed, and when viewed from above, it seemed to bloom four white mushrooms.
"This is ......" Uncle Guan suddenly said in surprise, causing Chen Duo and Huo Xixian to look at him.
"What is it?" Huo Xi asked hurriedly.
Uncle Guan's face was solemn, and he hesitated: "It seems to be a spirit smoke." ”
"What's that?" Horch was confused.
Before Uncle Guan could answer, he heard a burst of screams and commotion at the bottom of the pit.
Several people hurriedly looked at it, but when they saw it, their faces turned pale with shock.
There were some narrow cracks on the steep rock wall of the pit, and some vines and weeds grew around the cracks, and no one would notice.
But at this moment, the vines in the gap suddenly began to tremble violently, and then I saw countless short black shadows coming out of it, crowded one after another, like fleas, and fell to the bottom of the pit.
"Yes...... What a thing! Horch shuddered with fear. These black shadows looked extremely small, like a group of children, but they were charred and black, and their faces were hideous, especially terrifying.
"It's a wood spirit!" Uncle Guan's face changed greatly.
If Gao Xiang and Sun Muyu were here, I am afraid they would also scream and blurt out.
These black presses crawled out of the cracks in the rock wall, it was the evil of the wood spirits, but this batch of wood spirits here, the pupils were red, which was a sign of bloodthirstiness, indicating that these wood spirits had eaten the essence blood of living people, and they were not the same as those in the original Dragon and Tiger Temple, and they were much more brutal and dangerous.
After these wood spirits landed, they were like sharks that smelled blood, and immediately pounced on those children excitedly.
