Chapter Forty-Three: Death at the Door of Death, Injury at the Door of Injury
"Du Chao, do you also enter that door?" Ye Xuanyi asked.
"No, I think it's better for us to disperse, we can't be sure that the door that Qianqian chooses is the birth door, I suggest that we each enter a door." Du Chao responded.
"As I thought, the door I chose opposite Qianqian is the door with one horizontal line and two broken lines."
"You all be careful, and if the situation is not right, get out and find a way out."
Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi replied at the same time.
Du Chao glanced at the eight door hexagrams, and finally chose two broken lines and one horizontal line, the hexagram he chose happened to be the opposite of Ye Xuanyi's door hexagram, the same two broken lines, one is a horizontal line in the front and the other is a horizontal line in the back.
Du Chao and the three of them all had preconceived ideas, thinking that the hexagram with broken lines meant life, but in fact, the three of them didn't know that the hexagram with all three broken lines was the Kun hexagram, which was the door of death.
And Du Chao chose to shock the hexagram and hurt the door.
The only thing Ye Xuanyi chose by mistake was Gen hexagram, which was Shengmen.
Nie Yuqian entered the stone gate and kept talking to her teammates, carefully exploring forward by the faint candlelight on the stone wall. She has also watched tomb exploration movies such as "Tomb Raider" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", lest some monster suddenly emerge from a dark corner, and constantly talk to Du Chao and Ye Xuanyi to release her nervousness.
"Chaochao, Xuanyi, are you all in?"
Ye Xuanyi responded: "I entered, walked about twenty meters, and found no abnormality, what about Chaochao?" ”
"There's no anomaly, be careful."
Du Chao carefully walked against the stone wall, clicked on the smart bracelet to switch to the item exchange bar, and found that in addition to the existing red stimulant and blue heart booster, there was another purple "antidote", secretly thinking that the ancient tomb was not so easy, it must be densely packed with organs, and the attack was poisonous, otherwise there would be no antidote on the bracelet.
The exchange price is also 100 points for a bottle.
After walking for about twenty or thirty meters, there was no abnormality, Nie Yuqian gradually relaxed her tense limbs, stepped on the neatly cut bluestone bricks and walked forward, and suddenly her feet sank, she immediately thought of the trick in the movie, and hurriedly rolled to the left.
"Whoosh-whoosh-"
The four rows of arrows almost grazed Nie Yuqian's shoulders and shot down, nailing into the ground with only half of the tail of the arrow, shaking by itself. If she had hesitated for half a second, she would have been shot into a hedgehog by an arrow.
Before Nie Yuqian could breathe, the stone wall above her head suddenly cracked, and a boulder fell down like a guillotine. Nie Yuqian didn't want to roll on the spot and avoid the boulder.
There was a loud "boom", and the boulder fell down, completely sealing the way of retreat.
Nie Yuqian was shocked, got up and said to the bracelet: "I triggered the mechanism and blocked the retreat, I can't go back but continue to move forward." I think there are still a lot of mechanisms ahead, so this shouldn't be a raw door. Chaochao, Xuanyi, if you quit, don't enter the door with three broken lines. ”
"Qianqian, how are you? Are you okay? Ye Xuanyi's anxious voice came out of the bracelet and resounded throughout the channel.
"I'm fine, be careful yourself."
"Qianqian, you should be careful."
Nie Yuqian wondered that Du Chao had not been silent, but he was also in trouble and couldn't speak.
Shaking her head and abandoning distracting thoughts, Nie Yuqian continued to walk forward, glancing at the bluestone slab under her feet almost every step she took, for fear that a wrong step would trigger the mechanism again.
But Nie Yuqian entered the door of death, and once the mechanism was activated, it would not stop.
Nie Yuqian patronized the soles of her feet, but did not pay attention to the green poisonous smoke spewing out of the mouths of the dragon head stone carvings on both sides of the passage, and when she felt that the smell was wrong, the whole person was surrounded by a diffuse green poisonous mist.
Nie Yuqian instinctively lifted her shirt to cover her mouth and nose, lowered her head and rushed forward, her body staggered without taking two steps, her legs and feet fell to the ground as soon as she was weak, and her face and arms were all naked. Lu's skin was a strange pale green, and his whole body was stiff and motionless, and he passed out.
Du Chao didn't speak, as Nie Yuqian expected, he was also in trouble, and it was big trouble.
Originally, he walked all the way without any abnormality, but the further he walked, the more humid the air became, the stone walls were covered with green ringworm moss, and the bluestone slabs on the soles of his feet seemed to have been blistered.
At the end of the passage, there was no road, a pool of turquoise water, like a seepage polluted by heavy metals, with a pungent smell, and a fierce predator, the giant crocodile, roaming the lake.
Not three or two, but a large group.
Du Chao's scalp was numb, he turned around and ran, no matter how strong he evolved, he was not a superman, and he couldn't deal with a group of giant crocodiles. A group of crocodiles smelled something fishy and went ashore like a brave Marine Corps to chase their prey.
The muddy ground slowed down Du Chao's speed, and in a blink of an eye, three strong crocodiles chased after him, squeezing into the narrow passage and not giving in to each other, and the fastest crocodile in the middle opened his blood basin and pounced forward, although he didn't bite Du Chao's leg, but the sharp teeth did cut through his surface skin, and the blood flowed.
Du Chao was in pain, ran hard, shook off the berserker-like predator crocodile at a speed of 100 meters, and writhed the gossip before the crocodile rushed out of the stone gate to isolate this group of crazy predators.
"Ha-ha-" Du Chao leaned on the stone wall and gasped, clicked on the smart bracelet and said: "I'm Du Chao, I was attacked, a large group of crazy crocodiles, fortunately I ran fast and exited." How are you guys? ”
"Chaochao, you finally spoke," Ye Xuanyi seemed to hear the shouts of her relatives, and her voice was very excited, "I am worried that you have not spoken." ”
"Where's Qianqian?"
"I haven't heard her voice for a long time, she said that she was blocked and couldn't go back, I was worried about whether she was ......"
Ye Xuanyi's voice lowered, and she didn't continue, Du Chao also understood what she meant, she was worried that Nie Yuqian had an accident.
"How's your path? Is it safe? Du Chao staggered the topic and diverted Ye Xuanyi's attention.
"Temporary security, no traps, no crocodiles, like an ancient tomb that never ends."
"I know, I chose to go through the same door, maybe we might meet somewhere."
"Really?"
"Anything is possible."
Ye Xuanyi laughed twice, and then said: "I have now come to a fork in the road, there are three roads, which road do you say I should choose?" ”
"You are the one who sees the road, and you are the one who walks, so you can choose for yourself."
"Then I chose it intuitively, I chose the middle path, and I continued to walk." Ye Xuanyi did not hesitate, and cleared her thoughts in a moment.
"Okay, I'm in too."
Du Chao was bitten by the crocodile's sharp teeth, which pierced the surface of the skin, but did not hurt the muscles and bones, and did not affect his movements. Less than a minute after escaping the stone gate and re-entering, the wound on his thigh was miraculously healed, as if he had been injected with a heart booster, leaving no scars.
This may be the effect of genetic enhancement, which enhances metabolism and promotes cell growth.
