Chapter 24: The Protracted War

There are only two places to avoid dog-headed rats in this stone chamber, one is the narrow passage where you came in before, and the other is the suspension bridge in the middle of the chamber that hangs over the sea of jewels. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Listening to those roars, the kobold should have come closer, and at least two of them, which could rush out of their fellow travelers at any moment.

The four of them glanced at each other, didn't care about many others, each took his own things and rushed to the nearest suspension bridge with tacit understanding.

The suspension bridge was about twenty meters away from where we were, and it only took less than five seconds for a few people to rush to the front, Leng Qi jumped up lightly with his bald head, and I climbed up the stone slab behind them. The bones are strong, and his sense of balance is not very good, so it is not a problem to climb trees and walls, but it is much more difficult to climb such an extremely unstable stone slab.

Because the slate has been shaking slightly, and the focus point is not easy to control, the bone has failed to climb up after several attempts. The more anxious he was, the greater the amplitude of the climb, the greater the amplitude, the more the slate shook, and the more difficult it became to climb, and so the vicious circle tossed for more than twenty seconds, although he was already lying on the slate, but most of his body was still hanging in the air.

As a few people laboriously dragged the bones onto the stone slab, a clearer roar rang out from the side. I subconsciously looked up, and without the help of a dragon's eye flashlight, I could clearly see four bright spots emitting fluorescent green light floating out of the passage where the kobold disappeared before! Then Leng Qi raised the flashlight and shone it over, and under the strong light of the longan flashlight, I saw that it was indeed the kobold who moved the rescuer and turned back, and the hair on its head was still wet, exuding a strange smell of flower water and fishy stench.

The dog-headed rat in the back, which was temporarily positioned as a 'rescuer', was obviously larger by more than a circle, and its appearance was more ferocious, with two long fangs that had protruded from the corners of its mouth and grown outside, like a combination of a black bear and a wild boar. If the previous kobold was like a black bear in the woods, then this one is the human-bear we have ever met, both physically and emotionally more irritable!

The two kobolds rushed out of the passage and stood upright on their hind legs to scan the stone chamber as if looking for our traces, and then locked their eyes on the bones and rum on all four legs and pounced on them with a swift speed!

Although there was still a distance of more than 20 meters, we had just deeply understood the lightning speed of the kobold, so I fixed our bodies on the stone slab with the bald head left and right, and desperately carried the bones weighing more than 100 kilograms to the stone bridge. Seeing that the bones had successfully climbed up, Rum took a few steps back, and with an instant burst of help for some distance, a beautiful fish leap jumped up the stone slab and came to us.

At the same time that Rum's feet left the ground, the slightly larger kobold had already rushed forward, and with the force of his momentum, he jumped up and pounced on Rum, and his two sharp claws slashed against Rum's belly. Fortunately, they are bulky and weak in jumping, otherwise a single centimeter in height would have cost Rum a disembowelment!

The first stone slab of the suspension bridge is about three meters above the ground, and then it rises in turn until the round stone slab at the end of the coffin reaches the top.

Successfully climbed the first slate, and just when we thought it was safe, the huge kobold jumped up again and slammed its shield-like shoulder against the bottom of the slab. The huge slate was knocked up a bit, and then fell to its original height and trembled, and the two leather ropes crackled and broke one after another! Since one is broken on each side, the slate has not changed much, but the angle is slightly slanted.

Each slab was suspended in mid-air with six leather ropes, and at this moment the weight of the four of us and a mastiff plus four packs of equipment had completely exceeded the weight of the leather ropes, and as long as the kobold struck again, most of the remaining four leather ropes would all break in an instant.

In this situation, once you fall and are surrounded by two kobolds, it is definitely not a thing that can get out of danger with a bottle of toilet water.

Looking at the crumbling slate, Leng Qi jumped to the higher slate first, followed by Bald Head and Rum. I picked up the bone and pushed him over, and as soon as I stepped up to one leg, the kobold slammed into the bottom of the slab again. This time without our weight, it added a little more force, and the thick and heavy rectangular stone slab was directly knocked into the air, and after falling, as I expected, the four leather ropes made a few crunching noises and broke in unison.

My center of gravity was already on the second slate when I stepped out of the first leg, and my two arms were bald and Leng Qi pulled, so I didn't fall down with the slate. However, a broken leather rope was whipped my calf, and I felt a tingling in my calf, followed by a burning pain that instantly filled my brain.

It was not until this moment that I finally understood why the most common execution of prisoners in ancient times was caning, and that in terms of the degree of pain and the duration of this pain, if I were to be replaced by a prisoner, I would never hide what I would say with a whip......

Pulled by Leng Qi and the bald head to sit on the stone slab, this height of the kobold can no longer be touched, and can only pace back and forth with grinning teeth underneath. I raised my flashlight and shone it on my calves, and the slacks were torn by the tremendous force of the leather rope, from the knees to the toes, all of which felt painful and numb. I looked at the leather rope that was still swaying slightly in mid-air, opened my mouth and sighed heavily......

To be on the safe side, the four of them climbed a few more steps to a high place, and only then did they relax when they reached a height of seven or eight meters above the ground.

Leng Qi slowly rolled up my trouser leg, there was a wound close to twenty centimeters on the back of my calf, if there is any more appropriate word to describe it, there are only four words: skin and flesh......

Watching Leng Qi apply anti-inflammatory drugs to me, the bald head gloated and joked with a smile: "Lao Zhang, you must have been unlucky in the past few days, and you are not suitable for travel." When you go out in the future, it's better to find someone to count in advance. This time, I think all the anti-inflammatory drugs and band-aids we prepared will have to be used on you. ”

My face was still aching, and now there was another pause on my calf, and I looked up and glared at my head and complained: "Go unlucky, if you didn't owe it to eat other people's children just now, can these two goods be so desperate to chase after them!" ……”

At the mention of 'eat', the bald head and the bone's stomach gurgled twice at the same time. I already owe two meals, and after tossing for so long, I'm really hungry. After bandaging my wounds, the four of them sat around and took out chocolates and sausages and ate them bit by bit.

A sausage worth a dollar and a palm-sized chocolate, to be honest, this little thing is not enough to eat as a snack, let alone a main meal, everyone ate it in less than two minutes, and Rum is a matter of one bite, and he swallowed it without even chewing it. Thinking back to those kobold cubs at this moment, I really don't feel so repulsed in my heart, I only have one thought in my heart, just have something to eat......

Stuffing the last piece of chocolate into his mouth, he dusted off the dust on his body with a bald head and held a dragon's eye flashlight to the golden dog-headed coffin at the end of the drawbridge: "Brothers, what do you say is in that coffin, could it be Pete that the 'all dead' professor said?" ”

I raised my eyes and looked at him: "There have been so many things, don't do any more fancy things, you might as well think more about how to get out when you have time." ”

The bald head shrugged his shoulders: "What kind of tricks can I move, but you, Comrade Zhang Rui, by the way, there are still old bones." Count me begging you two, don't close the crow's mouth, how many times have I told you, Master Zu said that you can't say unlucky things in the bucket! ”

With a sigh of relief, I held up my flashlight to check under the drawbridge. The previous slab did not hit the kobold, but fell to the ground and broke in half. Those two kobold rats don't know who we have a deep hatred for, and they are determined to destroy us. Since he couldn't touch the slate, he simply didn't leave, lying on one side on one side, staring at a few people with green eyes, without the slightest intention of leaving.

It was a one-way suspension bridge, and the highest point at the end was the golden dog-headed coffin, and there was no other way out. So if you want to get back to the ground, you have to wait until the two kobolds have left. This is a passive and protracted war, they don't go, we have no other way but to sit on the stone slab and wait slowly......

It would have been better if this had happened yesterday, but several people were tired, and it was a big deal to sleep on the stone slab for the night, and the kobold might have left the next day. And now the four of them have just woken up not long ago, and they are unusually energetic. Especially me, I have a dull pain in my face and legs, and I can't close my eyes even if I want to sleep......

In this way, the two kobolds lay under the drawbridge and refused to leave, and the four people sat on the drawbridge and watched dryly. Based on the sheer size of the kobolds, I didn't think they would have much patience and should leave in an hour at most. Who knows, that's six hours! Six hours had passed, and the two kobolds were still lying under the bridge, their expressions fierce, their eyes wide open, and their eyes still staring at us for half a second.

The bald head snorted: "Yes, this time I met two masters who are not afraid of delays." Look at this posture, if you don't wait for us to go down, you will resolutely not give up...... But also, in this kind of stone nest where bird can't get in, it is estimated that I haven't fasted for a few days, and now I finally met four pieces of fat, and if it were me, I would have to eat it in my mouth before leaving......"

After sitting for more than six hours in a row, the bones in my whole body were sore and painful, and I looked down at the two kobolds and my heart was also full of helplessness, and I sighed and said: "No way, I can't beat it, I can't run it, I can't run it, wait a minute......"

"I'm going to wait for you guys, the bald master really can't sit still. You stay, I'll go ahead and study the coffin, and I'll be idle anyway. After saying that, the bald head took out the Red Star brand armor shovel from the side of the backpack, and walked towards the golden dog-headed coffin at the end of the stone bridge without waiting for us to respond.
