Chapter 44: Confronting Fear
Ending the call with Du Chao, Ye Xuanyi walked cautiously forward, walked about two hundred steps, and came to a round ancient tomb that suddenly opened up. It is about fifty or sixty square meters, and there are two sarcophagi placed side by side in the middle of the ancient tomb.
Ye Xuanyi stopped, didn't dare to go any further, and clicked on the smart bracelet to call Du Chao: "Chao, I'm going to the end, there is no way out, this is an ancient tomb." ”
"No way out? Go back to the intersection and choose another direction to explore. ”
"Got it." Ye Xuanyi answered, turned around and walked back, and suddenly a cold wind blew behind her, making her shiver.
There was a "click" sound behind him, like the sound of some kind of mechanism activating. Ye Xuanyi remembered that Nie Yuqian had said that she had been attacked by the organs, and her life and death were still unknown, so she became more and more furious, and trotted all the way.
Looking back in a hurry, Ye Xuanyi was so frightened that her legs and feet were so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
A corner of the sarcophagus on the right side was lifted, and a figure in a white robe crawled out, I don't know if it was a zombie or a ghost, with long hair scattered, revealing half of his face with green glow.
"Ah-" Ye Xuanyi screamed, "There are ghosts, there are ghosts, there are ghosts chasing me." ”
"What the hell?" Du Chao asked blankly.
"Female ghost."
"How can there be ghosts, you said there are crocodile cockroaches, I still believe ......"
"It's true, she has no feet, she's floating in the air."
Ye Xuanyi rushed to the road, almost about to cry, she was most afraid of ghosts since she was a child, and when she saw the female ghost crawling out of the sarcophagus, her legs were frightened, her mind was blank, and her whole body was stiff and overwhelmed.
"Then you run."
Du Chao was still skeptical, they were clearly in the mission space, their bodies stayed in the real world of Phoenix, only their brains were active, and simply put, everything they saw was illusory. From the previous two missions, Du Chao's inference has been confirmed, and the mission space is the head traveling.
Nie Yuqian said that it is normal to run into a mechanism, after all, it is an ancient tomb, and it is normal for him to be unlucky to encounter a large group of giant crocodiles, but what is the operation of a female ghost popping out of thin air, a good stimulant antidote, this is clearly a science fiction movie, how can it suddenly become a ghost thriller.
Ye Xuanyi ran all the way, ran out of the passage at the fastest 100-meter sprint speed in her life, and hurriedly turned the hexagram to close the door, for fear that the female ghost would pass through the wall and attack her, and stood far away from the stone gate.
Du Chao's speed was much faster than Ye Xuanyi's, he only came to the intersection in less than half the time, since Ye Xuanyi was in trouble choosing the middle road, he chose the left road and strode over.
The lights on the stone walls on both sides seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, and there was nothing unusual at first glance.
Du Chao also saw the round tomb and two sarcophagi of the same style, and was stunned on the spot.
He and Ye Xuanyi chose different paths, but they still experienced the same situation, and it is very likely that no matter which of the three roads they choose, they will be the same ancient tomb.
"Okay, I'll see if a female ghost crawls out of the sarcophagus."
Receiving atheist education since childhood, Du Chao doesn't believe that there is such a thing as a female ghost, but they are in an illusory mission space, maybe the central processing unit connected to the smart bracelet on their wrist will do something, and it is impossible to say that there is a female ghost who is not in the same style as black technology.
Du Chao searches the circular tomb in a counterclockwise direction, trying to discover a secret that opens the passage. He chose to enter this gate, and he did not suffer an unexpected attack along the way, which means that this gate is relatively safe, if it is not a path to leave the ancient tomb, at least some clues and hints should be given.
After walking around and finding nothing, Du Chao set his eyes on the sarcophagus placed in the middle. There is nothing special about the sarcophagus, the walls are smooth, there is no text, no patterns, no clues.
Just as Du Chao left disappointedly, the sarcophagus suddenly made a "click" sound, which was a slight sound at first, then became louder and louder, and finally continued like popping beans.
The lids of the two sarcophagi are lifted.
Du Chao took two steps back, clenched his fists and was ready to fight at any time, what kind of female ghost who didn't touch the ground, he was not afraid at all.
What came out was not a female ghost, but a golden snake, with a slender body like a golden belt, spitting red letters, coiled on the lid of the coffin and staring at Du Chao.
Then one after another snakes of different colors came out and slid silently down from the lid of the coffin, forming a semicircle to surround Du Chao.
Du Chao's scalp is numb, he is not afraid of ghosts, but he is afraid of snakes. I have been bitten by snakes since I was a child, and the shadow of my childhood lingers, and I am panicked when I see a group of snakes, and my limbs are becoming more and more stiff.
The golden snake seemed to be the leader, it didn't give an order, and a group of colorful snakes just stood up and spit out letters around Du Chao, and did not attack.
"Chaochao, how's it going?" Ye Xuanyi's voice rang out at the right time.
Du Chao stepped back one by one, his eyes staring at the black mamba that was closest to him and also the most threatening, and he didn't dare to answer Ye Xuanyi distractedly.
"Whoa, whoa." The golden leader snake spat out red letters quickly, as if giving orders.
A group of poisonous snakes stood up instantly, opened their mouths and pounced on Du Chao.
Du Chao reflexed his mind to pass by people, reacted very quickly, and slapped away the black mamba with the greatest threat as soon as he stretched out his hand, slapped away the two green snakes that rushed straight to his throat twice in succession, and took two big steps back in a row.
Helplessly, there were too many snakes, he could take care of the key points above, but he couldn't defend against the lower three ways, and soon his thighs and calves were bitten twice, and a feeling of paralysis was faintly transmitted from the calf to the cranial nerves.
He knew that this group of poisonous snakes was extremely sharp, and it was definitely not possible to escape, and he had no time to exchange for the antidote because the snakes had been pestering him, and the only way was to kill them.
"Ho."
Du Chao shouted to give himself courage, relying on his evolved strong physique to catch the flying poisonous snake, and it was a jerk to catch it. His strength was so amazing that he could smash a viper's head to pieces with a single blow.
In less than a minute, Du Chao smashed to death the poisonous snake besieging him, leaving only the golden leader snake standing high on the lid of the coffin.
The wounds on the thighs and calves that were bitten were bleeding non-stop, and there was a large area of redness and swelling around the deep tooth marks, Du Chao quickly opened the bracelet, exchanged for a bottle of antidote, and injected it into his body.
Golden City took advantage of Du Chao's efforts to inject the antidote, swung his tail and slipped away.
Du Chao breathed a sigh of relief, in case the golden snake wanted to play with him, he might have to take another bottle of antidote.
"Xuanyi, are you okay?" Du Chao had time to recover his teammates at this time.
"I'm fine, how are you?"
"It's okay, I just played with a group of poisonous snakes, and I won."
"Vipers!" Ye Xuanyi was so frightened that her voice rose a few decibels, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Du Chao let out a sigh and asked in a deep voice, "Xuanyi, are you usually the most afraid of ghosts?" ”
"Yes."
"I understand, this road is afraid of something, you are afraid of ghosts, ghosts appear, I am afraid of snakes, and a group of snakes will spring out. It's the fear that comes from our brains. ”
Ye Xuanyi understood what Du Chao meant, and asked tentatively: "So you think this road is the way of life?" ”
"I'm not sure, but it's probably the least obstacle path we know. Qianqian encountered the mechanism, and the last door I entered met a group of bloodthirsty giant crocodiles, these little snakes are really not a challenge. ”
