Chapter 172: The Bottomless Pit
The mercenary was silent for a while, and after a long time he said, "Don't play tricks." ”
And after that, Old Lady Huang began to dance again, and it seemed that the last golden-topped monk had returned to him.
His dancing this time seemed to be bigger than before, and I heard his feet seem to be very hard every time he stepped on the ground.
After the stone paved ground was stepped on by Old Lady Huang, there was a very slight shock from underground.
I saw from a distance that Huang Changrong's expression became nervous, he clenched his leather whip, and peeked out of the shadows with a small half of his head, staring at the direction where Old Lady Huang was.
At this time, Mrs. Huang had already sounded the first drum, and Huang Changsheng also quietly took out two white balls from his backpack, and I don't know what they were.
A moment later, the second drum sounded, and the master drew the green steel sword from the cloth bag.
After the three-way drum was finished, the ground began to shake at an extremely high frequency, and Old Lady Huang suddenly shouted: "Do it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Changsheng and Huang Changrong rushed out at the same time, Huang Changrong threw out the leather whip, and Huang Changsheng threw out the two pills in his hand.
Since my master also followed Huang Changsheng to the area where the light was direct, I didn't think much about it, so I followed closely behind my master.
The moment I left the stone pier, I saw that Huang Changrong's leather whip had wrapped around the old lady's waist, and the old lady jumped high and smashed a golden-domed monk statue as thick as an arm to the ground.
I heard Mr. Huang say before, the gold-topped monk is a white marble statue with gold leaf wrapped at the top, and the stone slabs on the ground are all cut from bluestone, which is very hard.
But the monk statue in the hands of Mrs. Huang actually sank into the floor with a "poof", and there seemed to be a hole on the ground that could fit it perfectly.
After the "pill" thrown out by Huang Changsheng hit the ground, thick smoke suddenly emanated from it, and in just a moment, my eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of thick fog, and I couldn't see the situation inside at all.
And in the last moment before this layer of smoke rose, I saw a mercenary point the muzzle of the pistol pointed at the old woman, and it was at this moment that a cold light swept through the air, because in the next few seconds the mercenary was enveloped in smoke, and I didn't see if he pulled the trigger or not, but I saw a sudden blood at the base of his index finger.
After the fog completely rose, Huang Changrong immediately pulled the old lady out, and I saw that the old lady was still holding a flying knife in his right hand that had not been thrown.
Now I figured out what was going on with that cold light.
The burliest mercenary also chased the old lady out of the smoke-covered area, and my master was helping the old lady to stand up, and the man rushed out with a gun and the muzzle of the gun was facing my master.
At that time, if I had been pointed at a gun, my first instinct would have been to dodge to the side, avoiding the trajectory of the bullet.
But my master took a step forward at the moment of the man's appearance, and actually met the muzzle of the gun, and my heart immediately rose to my throat.
I saw that my master stabbed out a sword at the same time as he was stepping, and it stabbed the man's shoulder, and before the man could cry out in pain, the master had already swung the green steel sword, and the broad sword body slapped heavily on the man's neck.
With my master's strength, this slap on the neck, the cervical vertebrae will be 100% fractured on the spot, although the mercenary is burly, no matter how burly a person is, the cervical vertebrae will not be much thicker than ordinary people. I didn't hear the sound of bones shattering because it was noisy, but after three seconds of froze, the man collapsed on the ground as expected.
By this time, the master had already picked up the old lady, and then he pulled me up again and quickly retreated.
I was so nervous that I didn't notice that the ground was trembling slightly, until Master dragged me and the old lady back behind the stone pier, and I realized that the dust on the ground was flying into the air and there was dirt scattered overhead.
From the time I left the pier to the time I hid under the pier again, everything that happened seemed to be compressed into a very brief moment, no, I can't say that, I should say that those things happened in an instant. So much so that it took me a long time to think about what had happened.
After a few seconds of silence, the mercenaries on the other side of the pier opened fire.
Boom, boom, boom, boom......
The sound of the gun sounded heavy and slow, the bullet hit the stone pier, causing the stone pier to tremble, I think the impact of the bullet is not too great, but it has a very strong penetrating power, there are seven or eight bullets hit the stone pier behind me, after each bullet hit the stone pier, there will be a very long-lasting tremor on the pier surface, relying on the tactile sensation brought by this tremor, I can vaguely feel that those bullets after interrupting the surface of the stone pier, and then travel a long distance in the stone pier before stopping.
Seriously, I'm afraid those bullets will go straight through the stone pier.
Old lady Huang was still chatting with my master at this time, and while he put the flying knife in his arms, he said to my master, "Why didn't Daochang Li and Master Chengyun come?" ”
My master lit the dry tobacco and said, "The tomb at the bottom of the underground palace is related to some secrets of your old Huang family. I also think that the two of them are not suitable to come. ”
Old lady Huang smiled: "It's still Master Chai who thinks thoughtfully...... What do those two boys do? ”
When Old Lady Huang spoke, she pointed at Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang.
The master spat out a puff of smoke and said, "These two boys, the next generation of supervisors of your old Huang family will always be with you in the future, and I didn't shy away from them this time." ”
Hearing what Master said, Old Lady Huang looked at me again, and then smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, a bullet passed through the gap between the two stone piers, and flew almost against the scalp of Old Lady Huang, but Old Lady Huang didn't care, and said to my master: "Your dry tobacco, give me a mouthful." ”
My master was just about to hand the cigarette stick to the old lady, but Huang Yulian suddenly rushed over, grabbed the cigarette stick, and said to the old lady with some blame: "Old lung disease, can't smoke!" ”
Looking at the appearance of several of them, it was as if they were chatting at the dinner table, and they didn't take the gunshots behind them seriously at all.
My master took back the cigarette stick, smoked it to himself, and asked the old lady, "Soon, right?" ”
The old lady stared at my master's dry smoke and said, "No one has come for more than a hundred years, and the bronze door is very well embroidered, so it seems that we will have to wait a little longer." ”
I didn't understand what the conversation between Master and Old Lady meant this time.
Liu Shangang probably smelled the smell of dry tobacco, and his addiction to cigarettes also came up, he took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one and lit it.
The old lady saw the cigarette case in his hand from a distance, and shouted at him: "Boy, divide one!" ”
Liu Shangang directly threw the cigarette in his mouth to the old lady, and the old lady Huang didn't think he was dirty, so he took a beautiful puff after catching it, and spewed out a large stream of cloud smoke from his mouth.
Huang Yulian gave the old lady a big roll of the eyes, but she didn't stop him anymore.
After nearly a minute of gunfire behind me, the tremor from the ground suddenly became extremely violent, accompanied by a loud "bang", as if two boulders had slammed into each other behind me, and after the loud noise, the shock disappeared almost instantly without warning.
Immediately afterward, I felt a cold wind mixed with moisture blowing along the cracks between the stone piers, and I also heard the screams of the mercenaries.
A lot of people were screaming, so much so that the screams were very chaotic, some were shouting for help, some were simply screaming, but all the voices rang out almost at the same time.
At first, the scream appeared not far behind me, but it was getting farther and farther away from me at a rapid speed, and after a few dozen seconds, it was completely inaudible.
At this time, Old Lady Huang and my master stood up at the same time, and turned to face the other side of the stone pier.
I also got up and looked, and by this moment the smoke had been blown away by the wind, and I saw that the ground on the other side of the stone pier was gone, and in its place was replaced by a huge square hole, through which the cold wind blew.
This hole should have appeared suddenly, and those mercenaries were caught off guard just now, and they had all fallen into the abyss.
It was only after a while that I figured out why Old Lady Huang had just thrown the golden-topped monk to the ground, and why the white marble statue of the monk had sunk into the floor without resistance.
Because the last door in the dungeon was actually at the feet of those mercenaries, and the place where the golden-topped monk fell into just now was the keyhole of the gate.
At this time, Huang Yulian took out a flashlight and shone it into the cave, and I saw that the two door panels were clinging to the straight cave wall, and a minute ago, these two door panels made of a large number of bluestone slabs were still trampled on the ground under the feet of the mercenaries.
The master looked at the incomparably deep cave entrance and asked Old Lady Huang, "How do you go down?" ”
Old lady Huang shook his head: "I don't know, I only have the layout of the dungeon in my hand, and as for the situation behind the last door of the dungeon, I don't know." ”
After speaking, he raised his head again and said to Huang Changrong and Huang Yulian: "Changrong and Yulian, you two will go down to explore the wind first." ”
Huang Changrong and Huang Yulian are both the kind of people who are resolute and resolute, and as soon as the old lady finished speaking, the two of them each took out a rope from their backpacks, tied the rope to the stone pillar, and began to slide down the cave wall.
Before going down to the cave, Huang Yulian also deliberately snatched the cigarette from the old lady's mouth and threw it on the ground to trample on it.
Old lady Huang just smacked his tongue helplessly at that time, and it wasn't until after Huang Yulian went down the cave that he turned his head and asked Liu Shangang: "Boy, is there still a cigarette?" ”
Liu Shangang took out the cigarette case and looked at it, pointed to the one in his mouth, and said to the old lady, "The last one." ”
