Chapter 237: Head to head
Time passed slowly, and the snapping turtle seemed to regard this narrow hole as its nest, and actually drilled its head into the stone wall, and most of its body remained outside the stone wall, and its whole body no longer moved.
I don't know how long the stalemate lasted, Wu Zhiyuan only felt that the woman's breath in his arms began to become weak, although the wound on her left shoulder was not fatal, but it was constantly leaving blood, and too much blood loss would kill a person.
At this time, Wu Zhiyuan was a little anxious in his heart, he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of attracting the attention of the snapping turtle, but he couldn't keep condescending to this place, and when he was thinking about his idea, he suddenly heard a loud "whirring" in the tomb behind him, and then the tomb lit up, and even the hole where the two of them were located was illuminated by the afterglow.
Through the afterglow that came through, Wu Zhiyuan saw that half of the woman's body had been stained red with blood.
Almost at the same time, the snapping turtle's body shook, its four claws grabbed violently on the ground, and its huge body actually retreated. Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the turtles would actually retreat, this was really unbelievable, but it really happened.
I saw that the snapping turtle's body suddenly retreated, and the front half of its body stretched into the stone wall retreated again, and then the whole body retreated from the hole in the stone crack, it seemed to feel the light in the tomb, and after exiting the hole, it turned around and crawled towards the tomb.
Wu Zhiyuan thought that it would rush towards the bright light source, but he didn't expect that there was a "plopping" sound of water immediately afterward, and the snapping turtle actually burrowed into the pool again.
This sudden scene is really puzzling, why did the snapping turtle attack in the light, and now that there is light in the burial chamber, it did not pounce on the light source, but burrowed into the pool?
The danger at hand has been lifted, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered the black-clothed person and Li Lanru in the stone wall, his vigilance suddenly rose, he held the woman with his left hand, touched the ground with his right hand, touched the wooden sword, and stood up with the wooden sword.
At this time, the tomb behind him was bright, but the stone wall in front of him was still dark, the light in the tomb was limited after all, and the afterglow could not shine into the stone wall through the two stone walls that were destroyed by snapping turtles, Wu Zhiyuan didn't know anything about the situation in the stone wall, but he faintly felt that there were still people in the stone wall.
Staying at the junction of light and darkness is often the most dangerous. Wu Zhiyuan helped the woman out of the hole and pushed her into the tomb.
On the east side of the burial chamber there was a tall lampstand, more than a man tall, on which the fire danced, and under the lampstand stood a dark shadow.
The man turned his back to Wu Zhiyuan, stood with his hands in his hands, his figure was immovable, and the firelight reflected black and white shadows on his body, like a relief.
"We meet again." The man in black said in a low voice.
"We didn't meet." Wu Zhiyuan held the weak woman with his left hand, and subconsciously clenched the peachwood sword with his right hand, he had already determined that this man in black was the one he had seen in the grove before.
"Oh?" The black-clothed man's body moved slightly, and he seemed to be a little puzzled by Wu Zhiyuan's words.
"Although you and I have met twice, you have turned your back to me both times, can this be regarded as a meeting?" Wu Zhiyuan said as he glanced around the man in black, and the person named Li Lanru in the stone wall had not yet appeared.
"Ha Lu Ha ......" The man in black laughed wildly when he heard this, and suddenly, he stopped laughing and said in a gloomy tone, "Boy, I advise you not to be curious about my appearance!" ”
"For what?" Wu Zhiyuan asked casually without thinking.
"Because all those who have seen me have gone down to see Hades!" The man in black replied in a vicious tone.
Wu Zhiyuan's heart was chilling when he heard this, not only because of the original meaning of the man in black's words, but also because of the chilling momentum in his words.
At this moment, a shrill voice sounded from the hole in the stone wall beside Wu Zhiyuan: "What are you still rubbing with this kid?" Hurry up and save the princess! ”
Wu Zhiyuan had heard Li Lanru's voice before, but at that time, there was a stone wall, and it only sounded like yin and yang, and at this time there was no stone wall barrier, so he heard it very clearly, this Li Lanru's voice was neither male nor female, sharp and ugly, but it implied a little old.
Wu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the voice, and saw a weak and thin figure coming out of the dim stone cave, looking at the figure is not young, but the waist is straight, the gait is steady, and a white face is dark and bright, which startles Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan almost thought that it was a dead man who came out, because this Li Lanru's face was smeared with thick fat powder, and it looked terrifyingly white, the two eyebrows were trimmed like willow leaves, and the lips were also painted with heavy blood red, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered those missing babies.
"You are Li Lanru?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the monster not far from him, who was neither male nor female, with disdain.
Li Lanru seemed to be a little stunned that Wu Zhiyuan could recognize his behavior at a glance, and a trace of horror flashed on his face, but after a moment, he took a breath, and said in a slow but cruel voice: "Boy, you eavesdrop on us!" ”
"Humph! You've got a clear idea of what you're doing. It's up to you to do what you want to do Manchu Chitose Long live, but you have killed so many innocent young lives for your tuberculosis, it is really intolerable! Wu Zhiyuan scolded resentfully.
"Boy, since you know so much, don't think about leaving here alive today." Li Lanru said viciously, turned her head and shouted to the man in black standing in the east with her hands in her hands, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Save the princess and kill this little bastard! ”
"Don't move!" Wu Zhiyuan held the wooden sword in his hand and put the tip of the sword against the forehead of the woman beside him, but he was very guilty in his heart: "I'm sorry, you were injured like this to save me, but at this time, I can only use you to get out, I hope you don't blame me." ”
Thinking like this, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the princess who was half-leaning and half-lying in his arms, only to see that her consciousness had begun to be in a trance at this time, and her misty eyes were looking at Wu Zhiyuan, she slowly raised the left arm in her hand, and waved her hand to Li Lanru slightly...... He! ”
Seeing this situation, Li Lanru's face changed greatly, and she looked anxious and cried: "Daughter, my daughter...... You...... How are you? He pointed to Wu Zhiyuan again, and said in a trembling voice, "You, you, you let her go, I will promise you as much gold and silver treasure as you want!" ”
Wu Zhiyuan snorted coldly, he already had a large bag of valuable artifacts hidden in the broken temple on the outskirts of Qingdao, those treasures were enough for him to spend a lifetime, and he was not a greedy person, so he was not tempted by gold and silver treasures, so he turned his mind and shouted angrily: "Let go of the woman you imprisoned in the mass grave!" ”
