Chapter 42: Rescue Against Time
Zhang Tianyi is still immersed in Wu Shengnan's answer.
Now the case has been completely implicated in Walking the Earth Gate, and at present, the white fox has a lot of connection with Walking the Earth Gate, not only that, but even the murderer knows the Walking Earth Gate very well, and everything he did before was foreshadowing, the purpose was to complete this sacrifice.
Before this, I thought about whether there would be someone behind the white fox who was manipulating this chessboard, of course, this person is likely to be the murderer, but there can't be only one murderer, there seems to be some kind of agreement between the murderer and the white fox, but in Zhang Tianyi's opinion, only Yang Yong will have such a great ability.
This series of clues all revolve around walking the earth gate, what does the ancient and mysterious sacrifice represent? What is the totem on the wooden sign at the scene of the crime? What does the white fox have to do with the dirt gate? And so on, including the Zigui Crying Blood Moon that I saw for the first time in the White Fox Cave before, all the sources point to the Tumen, and if you want to understand the Tumen, you have to start with Bashu first, but it is not clear whether this tribe has descendants until now, and even if there are, they are all in inaccessible places, so it is estimated that it should have degenerated into primitive people for a long time.
Zhang Tianyi watched Wu Shengnan open his mouth and want to say something but swallowed it back, he felt that if he wanted to figure out the ins and outs of the case, he had to go to Bashu first.
Wu Shengnan seemed to guess Zhang Tianyi's inner thoughts, and said: "The tribe of Walking Soil Gate is very mysterious, no one has ever contacted the people inside them, and there is still a great controversy in the archaeological community about whether Walking Earth Gate exists or not. ”
Zhang Tianyi was a little puzzled after hearing this, and he only found some anecdotes about the corners of the Tumen on the Internet, and he didn't know whether the customs, culture, customs and customs of this tribe had been passed down or not.
"Hasn't anyone ever looked deeper?" Zhang Tianyi couldn't help asking.
Wu Shengnan held the camera and took photos in the passage quite leisurely, and said angrily: "Do you think it's as easy as eating and sleeping?" There are few records about walking the earth gate in history, it is said that it was in the Xia Dynasty, and then all dynasties lived in the mountains without asking about the world, not to mention now, even at that time, people could not figure out what kind of existence this tribe was. ”
Wu Shengnan seemed to be deliberately hanging Zhang Tianyi's appetite, and said after a while: "However, according to folk rumors, it is very likely that going to the Tumen is an existence beyond common sense. ”
"An existence beyond common sense? What is that? Zhang Tianyi felt that the mystery of walking the earth gate was gradually being revealed.
Wu Shengnan stared at Zhang Tianyi, his heart was numb, and then said: "People say that they have a mysterious power in their hands. ”
After Wu Shengnan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Tianyi looking at him with eager eyes, so he said a little proudly: "I'm sorry, I don't know what the specific mysterious power is, and I don't think anyone knows." ”
After that, Zhang Tian repeatedly asked what Wu Shengnan was, and he didn't say anything, and from time to time a few words of answer in the clouds and fog also made him unable to figure it out, until the vision in front of him opened up again.
There was a light in front of him, Zhang Tianyi turned off the flashlight and closed his mouth very consciously, and Wu Shengnan followed cautiously.
The last time Zhang Tianyi came, he knew that there should be a cylindrical space in front of him, and there were countless large and small holes in the surrounding walls, forming passages and connecting them. Zhang Tianyi groped for the entrance of the cave and found that the passage he was in was very close to the ground, he looked left and right and found the circular pool last time, and on the altar in the middle of the pool lay the unconscious Lin Keren, but this time she was draped in a pink light veil.
Like last time, the white foxes were all around the altar, but there was no white fox king among them.
Wu Shengnan leaned over and didn't speak, but looking at her frowning face, he knew that she must be thinking something in her heart.
Zhang Tianyi looked around again, but he didn't find any trace of Lin Fan, he was a little worried, but he didn't act for a long time, he was waiting, waiting for the White Fox King to appear.
The vents overhead were still covered in a blood moon, and the moonlight reflected a blood-red glow around them.
The surroundings were quiet, but Wu Shengnan suddenly stepped forward, Zhang Tianyi hurriedly pulled her behind him and whispered: "Don't act rashly for the time being, those animals are very vibrant." ”
Wu Shengnan's face was a little red, but he puffed out his mouth but didn't say anything.
Zhang Tianyi leaned his body against the wall and blocked Wu Shengnan with his right hand, looked at the restless foxes below and said, "The time has not yet come, wait a minute." ”
As soon as Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, he heard a few mournful noises above his head, and he looked up to find a Zigui bird circling back and forth in the vent.
Wu Shengnan's face changed slightly after seeing Zigui Bird and he lowered his head and muttered something, Zhang Tianyi didn't hear it too clearly, he concentrated on the white fox group on the ground, and then saw Lin Fan in his sight.
Lin Fan didn't know when he hid behind the pile of rubble on the ground, staring at the lovely man on the altar, as if he was hesitating to rush out.
Zhang Tianyi was a little anxious, if Lin Fan rushed out so rashly, he would definitely be bitten to death by the white fox, not to mention saving people at that time, even he couldn't protect himself!
It was easy to see Lin Fan from top to bottom, but Lin Fan didn't seem to notice Zhang Tianyi at the entrance of the passage above, and he was also weighing whether to start acting in his heart.
At the moment, Zhang Tianyi doesn't care whether the White Fox King has appeared, and if he continues to rub it off, I'm afraid that Lin Fan and Keren will be in danger. So he whispered to let Wu Shengnan retreat to the back, and then grabbed the vines at the entrance of the passage and swung into the air and shot at the restless white fox group!
Zhang Tianyi was afraid that Wu Shengnan would be discovered by the white fox, so he deliberately grabbed the vines and shot in the air, and the white fox was attracted by the gunshot, and saw Zhang Tianyi above becoming more restless.
Lin Fan only saw Zhang Tianyi at this time, Zhang Tianyi grabbed the vine with one hand, and made a gesture to him with a gun in the other, Lin Fan began to grope forward.
The swarm of white foxes suddenly exploded, and they actually climbed up on the wall as if they were walking on the ground!
Suffered!
Zhang Tianyi never expected that the white foxes would be able to walk freely on the wall, their original dark green eyes turned blood-red, their mouths hummed, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and their eyes looked at them fiercely.
Wu Shengnan couldn't help but step forward when he heard movement outside, but as soon as he walked to the entrance of the passage, a white shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and then a gunshot rang in his ears.
"Didn't you stay honest!?" Zhang Tianyi's face was a little pale, and if he was a little slower, it was estimated that the white fox would pounce on Wu Shengnan's face.
Wu Shengnan seemed dissatisfied with Zhang Tianyi shooting next to him, and glared at him with a frown. But soon, the gunshots attracted more white foxes to follow the passage where Wu Shengnan was, and Zhang Tianyi immediately fired several more shots.
Wu Shengnan also knew that his actions just now were not considered, but now it was too late to regret it, the white fox gave up Zhang Tianyi and turned around and climbed over to himself one by one!
"If you don't want to die, jump down! Come on! ”
Zhang Tianyi roared while shooting to stop the white fox from stepping forward!
Wu Shengnan didn't look panicked, but his face was not very good-looking, and after hearing Zhang Tianyi's words, he found the right time to grab a vine and swing it in the air.
When she grabbed the vine, several white foxes jumped up at the same time, and Zhang Tianyi didn't dare to shoot for fear of accidentally injuring Wu Shengnan, so he twisted his body and swung in her direction.
"Hold my hand!"
Zhang Tianyi grabbed the vine with one hand and swayed in the air with the other, and caught Wu Shengnan's outstretched hand when the two vines approached.
Although the action was very fast, there were still a few white foxes who reacted, Zhang Tianyi and his hands were not idle, and he had no time to resist at all, seeing that the white fox was about to pounce, Lin Fan on the ground raised his hand and shot them down with a few shots.
Zhang Tianyi remembered that he had taken a gun for Lin Fan before, and he quickly adjusted his position at this moment, and then the hand that grabbed the vine shook and said to Wu Shengnan: "Be careful!" ”
Wu Shengnan nodded and hummed, and then Zhang Tianyi let go of his hand, and then saw Wu Shengnan turn over and land safely.
Zhang Tianyi didn't expect Wu Shengnan to go down to the ground so easily, and looked at Wu Shengnan in a daze for a while, but Wu Shengnan didn't say anything to him.
At this time, Lin Fan had already hugged Lin Keren from the altar, Zhang Tianyi didn't say anything, let go of the vines and went down to the ground.
The white foxes on the back wall where the four of them gathered together jumped down one by one, and they slowly approached the crowd, with a muffled voice in their mouths, and their eyes were red as if they were about to overflow with blood.
Zhang Tianyi cautiously looked at the group of white foxes, for fear that if the movement was a little bigger, it would lead them to blow up.
"How? Are you all right? Zhang Tianyi bowed back in the face of the white fox group.
Lin Fan hugged Keren behind him and said, "It's okay, it's just that Keren's situation is not optimistic." ”
"Hey!" Zhang Tianyi shouted.
Wu Shengnan glanced at him lukewarmly and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhang Tianyi held the gun and glanced back and forth at the white fox in front of him, and said, "Is there any way to get out?" ”
Now everyone's situation is very embarrassing, they were forced into a corner by the white fox, and the pool that connected to the reservoir outside is in the middle of the white fox group, if Zhang Tianyi is alone, he can still give it a go, but the current situation seems to be unworkable.
Wu Shengnan didn't speak, she looked at the vent above her head and then looked at the pool in the center, the pool was on a plane line with the vent above, the pool was in the middle of the white fox group, and the vent was more than ten meters above the ground, and these two exits were now dead ends.
Wu Shengnan shook his head and said, "I can't do anything but pin my hope on the passage of the wall." ”
Zhang Tianyi looked up, and now the nearest passage to him was almost two or three meters high. He tossed his backpack to Wu Shengnan and asked her to find out if there was anything to use, then took off his jacket and wrapped it around a dead vine he had picked up from the ground, then poured gasoline on it and lit it with a lighter.
