Chapter 19: The Mausoleum (3)
After a while, there was no road ahead, and there was a bottomless ditch across it. The two of them stopped and glanced inside, it was pitch black and bottomless, and strange sounds came from time to time.
On the opposite side was a passage that seemed to cut through it, and it was a long ditch flanked by smooth walls protruding with a few stones.
Nightshade stared at it, the protruding square stones were scattered, and with the help of them, it was easy to cross the long ditch.
But is it that simple? Nightshade frowned and thought deeply, those mechanics wouldn't go to great lengths to simply block this passage with a large pit for no reason, and kindly get you a few stepping stones.
Fan Zijun on the side was also thoughtful, and suddenly said: "This should be the Ghost Jumping Gorge." ”
Nightshade did not answer, but waited for the following.
Fan Zijun couldn't help but smile, this is what he heard from the tomb builder in every possible way, today he actually cheapened this little girl, sorted out his thoughts, he said: "When I met the ghost jumping gorge, it means that we are in the deepest part of the mausoleum, and we are about to reach the main room." Let's say that this ghost jumping gorge is very dangerous, it is the most powerful mechanism, and no one has ever seen it, let alone participated in the mystery of it. ”
Isn't this not the point, Nightshade frowned slightly, whether to move on, or to go back the same way and find another way out. Along the way, she didn't sense the breath of the lark, and without it, even if the source stone was in front of her, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize it.
"Is this the only way to the main room?" asked the red-clothed nightshade, and his tone was not as tough as before.
Fan Zijun was also happy to solve her doubts: "Exactly." Although the Ghost Jumping Gorge is powerful, it is very labor-intensive, material-and financially expensive to build. It's good to have one in a mausoleum, which is mainly used to guard the main chamber where important objects are kept. Those passages that confuse people lead in all directions, and the possibility of choosing the right direction and going the right way is extremely small, and we are lucky to be here. ”
Now, the main room is not far away, Fan Zijun is faintly excited, if he can successfully complete the task, it will not be in vain, and it will make the conspiracy of the ill-intentioned people unsuccessful.
Nightshade was silent and did not say a word. If that's the case, it's a good idea for her to wait for the lark and Qinya here. Thinking about it, she found a hidden place and stood quietly.
Fan Zijun was stunned, didn't she want to rush over? He suddenly realized that she was waiting for her companion and didn't want to risk it alone. Fan Zijun's eyes sank, thinking in his heart that if she helped, it would be better than doing it alone.
Besides, if her companions were buried in the mausoleum, if they had waited and entered the main chamber together, they would all be the same goal, and how could they not have difficulty fighting them alone? In this way, it is very likely that the things in hand will be snatched away, which really makes him unwilling to come here for nothing.
It is better to think of a way to let her go in with him, Fan Zijun made up his mind, took out a small silver ingot from his arms, and threw it away, and the silver ingot flew towards the square stone on the wall.
With a "clang", the silver ingot landed steadily on the big stone, and Fan Zijun stared at it without moving, holding the fan leisurely with one hand, wanting to see what would happen next.
When Nightshade heard Fang Cai's movement, he couldn't help but look sideways, and he also wanted to find out.
After a while, something strange appeared in this ghost jumping gorge. The square stone that had been hit by the silver ingot suddenly moved, and gradually retracted into the wall, and the protruding wall behind it also moved into the wall one after another.
If the people who come don't keep a good eye and step on the big rock, they must have stumbled and fallen to the bottom of the gorge at this moment. However, if you are a quick reflexer, you can return to the place where you are and save your life.
The square stones had sunk into the walls, and the silver ingots they had just thrown had fallen. Fan Zijun stared and pondered, although there was a mechanism, it was not too ordinary.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fierce collision from the bottom of the gorge, but a silver ingot fell, how could there be such a big movement? Fan Zijun pondered for a moment, and then took off a night pearl hanging from his waist, and with a hand of luck, the night pearl seemed to have wings, and flew forward without slowness, preparing to cross the ghost jumping gorge.
It's just that before the Night Pearl reached the center, he heard a rumbling sound from far and near, and the next moment, a strange-looking monster rushed out of the deep gorge, swallowing the Night Pearl in one bite.
Fan Zijun unhurriedly took out a night pearl from his arms and tied it around his waist again. This one is brighter and more colorful than the night pearl that was swallowed just now.
Under the light of the Night Pearl, those monsters all stared at the cracked round eyes, constantly restless, and looked very excited.
Only then did Fan Zijun see these chilling monsters one by one. They resemble humans, but they are twice as tall as humans, and they have a pair of bat-like wings on their backs. The skin looks like the dried bark of a tree that has been exposed to the wind and sun all day, and the claws are embedded with long, dry nails, which look stiff. The cloudy eyes swirled from time to time, not at all afraid of the stimulation of the bright light, and on closer inspection, they had no eyelids, and their big eyes were stained with dust and filth.
"What the hell is this, the master looks quite unhappy!" Fan Zijun forcibly endured the disgust in his heart, and after thinking about it, he remembered that these things were cang. The cavity evolved from the corpses possessed by ghosts, and over time, the corpses they attached to turned into dried corpses. But what they were capable of, he didn't know.
Nightshade looked coldly at these monsters that suddenly appeared, and their fierce roars lingered in their ears. A flash of anger and irritability rose in her heart, and she thought of the evil ghost that had been haunting her when she was in the Demon Lock Tower.
Fan Zi didn't dare to act rashly, holding a folding fan in his hand, observing Cang Kun's every move.
At this time, Cang Kun turned his head one after another, staring at Fan Zijun who was wearing the night pearl, and his eyes immediately turned cloudy bright red, and he opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs.
Their bodies move to and fro, becoming more and more intense, making rumbling sounds, and they seem to be quite excited, as if they have seen prey.
Fan Zijun secretly said that it was not good, looking at the appearance of these monsters, he had the momentum to gnaw him to the bone. Looking at the number of them, roughly calculated, there are about twenty of them, and with their tall bodies, it must be a bitter battle.
While they were thinking about countermeasures, the cangs fluttered their wings and couldn't wait to flock to Fan Zijun.
Fan Zijun reacted quickly, took a step back, and the silver folding fan in his hand flew out, instantly disintegrating into a sharp slender blade.
At this time, Fan Zijun increased his strength, and the blade cut through the air, forming a whirlwind airflow, fast and accurate, directly stabbing into Cang Kun's chest, and Cang Qi was also shocked back a few steps by the powerful air current.
Fan Zijun withdrew the blade, gathered it in his hand, and watched Cang Qi fall or fall to the bottom of the gorge. He didn't let this out, one punch was hard to beat four hands, and it was not easy to defeat them all.
He couldn't help but look at the nightshade standing quietly in the corner, her face was indifferent, and she seemed to be ready to watch to the end. He felt a little dull in his heart, and for the first time he had a feeling of not being taken seriously, although he and Nightshade met for the first time, but it was also a common hardship.
Suddenly, those who had been shot down stood up one after another, and the wounds on their chests were gradually healing. They all looked at Fan Zijun in unison, fangs and claws, and approached him.
Fan Zijun felt that the situation was not good, but he didn't expect them to be immortal, he frowned, and in the face of their aggressive approach, he used the same trick again.
But this time, they all dodged, and some even directly staged "empty-handed white blades", and put sharp blades in their mouths, constantly transmitting "clicks...... Click".
This kind of sound is extremely abrupt in the open passage, and it is filled with a trembling aura.
Fan Zijun's forehead was already in a fine cold sweat, this thing was much stronger than the corpse cricket, at the beginning, he really underestimated this ghost jumping gorge.
The purple gold folding fan was eaten by those monsters, and now he doesn't even have a weapon to be able to carry on his body, and then look at these unharmed monsters, if he wants them to fall forever, he must use the runes used by the mage, but now, he has nothing.
He exhaled softly, regained his inner composure, and took a few steps back to make room for more. Now, it's time to harness the power of the Beast Summoner.
