Chapter 734: Curse Seal
Speaking of which, if the corpse had grown a little bigger, and the width of the cave had been expanded by a foot or so, the spike would have fallen off the stone wall, and I would have fallen into the abyss by now.
Thinking of this, I was nervous at first, and then I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and beckoned to the person behind me, and continued to climb up.
After I got rid of those two dried corpses, I couldn't feel the corpse qi on the other side of the stone wall, and if I was lucky, there should only be two evil corpses in the stone wall.
I think that the pulling force we encountered before should have come from these two evil corpses, Liu Daxi also said, when he began to slide along the ground, he saw a slender figure in the wind and sand.
So I speculate that at the beginning, only one evil corpse found us, because Liang Houzai and I both had mental power, Liu Shangang, Dawei and Senior Brother Feng had the experience of going to the tomb, and their mentality was stable, but Liu Daxi and Mao Xiaoxi, who followed at the end of the team, were too nervous and caused the Qi field disorder on their bodies, so they were selected by the evil corpse as the target of the sneak attack.
Evil things like this like this like that like to attack people who are not upright enough.
When there was only one evil corpse pulling us behind, Liu Shangang and I could still use the wind to fight against it, and then Liu Shangang and I fell, and the pulling force suddenly increased, at this time, the two evil corpses were probably pulling Mao Xiaoxi together.
The strength of these two evil creatures was too great, not only causing us to slide backwards quickly, but also tearing off Mao Xiaoxi's legs.
Mao Xiaoxi is also lucky, I have seen the power of the evil corpse just now, if this pulling force continues for a while, Mao Xiaoxi's legs may not be saved.
After crawling along the rock wall for about half an hour, I felt as if some small dry particles appeared in the air, and as I breathed, I could feel something burrowing into my nose and throat, and at the same time, I could hear a rattling sound overhead, which was the sound of sand flowing.
"Stop!"
Senior Brother Feng's voice came from below.
I immediately stopped and looked down. Senior Brother Feng was four or five meters below me, and when he saw me turn around, he shouted at me again, "I can't go up now." ”
I asked Senior Brother Feng, "Is there quicksand on it?" ”
Senior Brother Feng nodded: "The sand above fell into this abyss in the form of a vortex, and we can't go up until it stops flowing." ”
At this time, Liang Houzai also turned around and asked Senior Brother Feng, "How much sand is in this tomb?" ”
Senior Brother Feng said: "After all, it is not a real desert, and the amount of sand cannot be endless, and these sands that have fallen into the abyss should return to the tomb in some way." ”
Speaking of this, Senior Brother Feng looked at me again, and then said: "In our Yuxian lineage, there is a feng shui arrangement, which is very similar to this tomb with dry sand everywhere, and I even think that the first ancestor can design such feng shui, maybe it is from this tomb that he got inspiration. ”
I nodded, "It is very likely that most of the early spells of the Shouzheng Sect were also derived from this tomb. Let's not talk about that, how do we get out? ”
Senior Brother Feng looked at his watch and said, "If the arrangement here is the same as that of the Sand Remnant Bureau, in another ten minutes, the quicksand should stop flowing, and this pause will last for half an hour." ”
I raised my head, looked directly above the darkness, and asked Senior Brother Feng, "How far are we from the entrance of the abyss?" ”
Senior Brother Feng shrugged his nose, followed by a cough, and it took him a long time before he recovered and said to me, "We're already at the entrance." ”
I took out my phone and wanted to see the time, but I didn't expect that the phone had turned off by itself, and a large piece of the screen was broken.
It's over, it looks like I'll have to change my phone after I go out this time.
Five minutes felt like a long time in this deep space with only infinite darkness and a few flashlight beams, and I put on my mask and kept looking up at the sound of quicksand as time passed.
I could feel that the sound of the sand moving was slowly slowing down, and the sand particles falling from above were slowly decreasing.
Until Senior Brother Feng shouted: "Take advantage of now!" I immediately regained my spirits and climbed up quickly.
Senior Brother Feng was right, I had indeed reached the entrance of the abyss just now, and when I climbed the climbing pegs above my head and planned to drive new pegs into the stone wall, I found that what was in front of me at this time was no longer a stone wall, but a thick layer of sand, and the sand was pressed very strong, as if it was glue, and I smashed two hammers to drive the pegs into it.
After I had climbed the last distance along the steel nails that had been driven into the sand, my entire upper body was already on the ground, and in the area where the light could illuminate, there was a sand slope that was not too steep, and a small amount of sand was slowly sliding down the long slope.
The slope formed by the soft sand in front of me is indeed very long, and the searchlight beam of the flashlight is just enough to illuminate the top of it.
I was a little puzzled, supposedly the sand should form a long curtain of sand like a waterfall after falling into the abyss along such a ramp, but when I was near the exit just now, I didn't see the falling sand, only felt some dust floating in the air.
I propped up the sand with my hands and tried to get back to the ground, but the sand was so loose that as soon as I pushed hard, they quickly rolled down into the abyss.
No, I can't go up like this, and even if I go up, I'll slide down the long slope again.
Liu Shangang probably saw that I hadn't moved, so he shouted at me below: "What's wrong, what's the situation above?" ”
I tilted my head and responded, "It's a sand slope up there, and the sand is scattered." Skinny Monkey, you check everyone's belts to make sure the steel rope bundle is strong. You tied Mao Xiaoxi to you. ”
After a while, Liu Shangang responded: "Okay! ”
I looked up and shot the light above my head, and from just now, I could hear a strong wind overhead, but at the bottom of the sand slope, I couldn't feel the wind.
"What's going on above?" Liu Shangang asked again.
I ignored him, took an unopened canned beef from my backpack, and threw it into the air.
During this time, I kept turning on the flashlight, and I saw that the can first flew straight upwards for a distance, and suddenly received a lateral force about ten meters away from me, and flew away at a very fast speed.
Luckily, the wind is strong enough.
After this, I took out a large piece of canvas from my backpack that Liu Shangang had prepared in advance.
Every time he has an action, Liu Shangang will prepare such a waterproof canvas in his backpack, which is said to be used to wrap some things that are easy to get wet, and can also use this thing to make a simple temporary tent in the field in rainy weather. He used to say how much better this cloth was, but we never used it.
Today this thing finally came in handy, not because it was waterproof, but because it was big enough and sturdy enough.
I stretched out my hand to Liu Shangang: "You should still have a long steel cable in your bag, right?" ”
Liu Shangang first handed me the steel cable, and then asked me, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Don't ask any more questions," I said, "and when I hear me shout, 'Get up,' and then grab the wire rope that binds you to your waist." ”
After saying that, I took out the steel cable that had just saved my life from my backpack, tied the two ends of the two long steel cables with the four corners of the canvas, and then wrapped a box of canned beef in the canvas, sank down, and then used all my strength to throw the clump of canvas into the air.
My left and right hands grasped the middle of the two steel cables, and my eyes stayed on the rising canvas, waiting for the moment when it was blown by the wind.
After two or three seconds, the canvas suddenly tilted, and I immediately shook the steel cable, and I heard a muffled "bang" sound in the air ten meters away, and the canvas was completely unfolded.
It became a huge sail, I grabbed the steel cable, and my whole body was pulled up by the wind that pressed on the sail, and with this force, I kicked the sand wall, and crawled out of the abyss little by little, and after me, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai also came out in turn.
The sand on the ground was scattered, and when we stepped on it, there were large strands of sand that slipped into the abyss.
At this time, I heard Senior Brother Feng shouting from behind: "There are still ten minutes!" ”
There was still a long way to go from the top of the sand slope, and I shook the tightrope again, trying to make the canvas more stressed, but the strong wind was so strong that we could only stabilize our center of gravity and slowly move upward.
In order to walk faster, I deliberately put my toes in the sand every time I walked, so that I could at least use some strength.
I couldn't tell the time, I didn't know how long it would take me to finish the walk, but I was at the front of the line, the first to climb to the top of the sandy slope.
As soon as I reached the top, I could feel the wind very strong, and the sand and dust blocked my view once again.
After Liu Shangang and Liang Houcheng came up, they quickly ran to my side, one of them holding my arm, plus Liu Shangang also carried a Mao Xiaoxi on his back, and the weight of the four people added together to prevent me from being carried away by the power on the sail.
After Liu Daxi and Dawei reached the top, before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I heard a rattling sound from the sand slope, and the sand began to flow again!
Fortunately, Dawei's reaction was very fast, and the moment the sound of quicksand appeared, he grabbed Senior Brother Feng's belt and dragged Senior Brother Feng up.
As soon as I saw Senior Brother Feng coming up, I immediately let go of the steel cable in my hand, and the sail flew to where I didn't know where the steel cable was, and I didn't know if the canned beef I wrapped in it just now fell out.
Senior Brother Feng sat on the ground, looking at the sandy slope under his feet, his chest rising and falling violently.
Because they knew in advance that they would encounter sand and dust after coming up, everyone put on masks and goggles, and now, everyone can't speak, and can only communicate very vaguely with their eyes, and I see Liu Daxi's eyes revealing a kind of relief for the rest of his life.
It's too early to relax, and the real danger is yet to come.
Having just walked on the brink of life and death, Liu Daxi and the others needed to take a break, while I turned on the flashlight and took a picture of the surroundings.
In the strong wind and sand, I could only see a distance of two meters from my body, and I was surprised to find half a canned box exposed in the sand at my feet.
That was probably the first time I threw up a can.
As I thought so, I walked over to pick up the can, and as I bent over, there was a sudden pain in my left arm, and in that moment, I saw that what was at Liang's feet had turned into a human skull.
But such an illusion only appeared for a moment, and in the moment of washing, the pain on his arm disappeared, and the things at Liang Houzai's feet turned into cans again.
I was stunned for a moment, picked up the thing on the ground, put it in my hand and looked at it carefully for a while.
In my sight, this ordinary can actually gave people an ethereal feeling.
At the same time, there was a slight ache in my left arm.
I couldn't help frowning and looked at Liang Houzai, who was also looking at me at this time, and he also pointed to his left arm.
At present, Liang Houzai and I are not sure what the pattern on the arm is, but one thing is certain, that pattern, it should be some kind of curse mark, we are either hit by the tomb builder's technique, or some kind of curse.
