Chapter 756: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
We followed Xue Xinrou into the fork in the road, it can't be called a road at all, an extremely narrow stone crack, the surrounding stone walls are very rough, there are no traces of polishing, this stone road should not have been planned when the temple was built, it should have been excavated in a hurry.
"Dad, there's still a tool here." Ye Zhiqiu found a short shovel from the corner of the stone road.
Ye Jiuqing took it, there were a lot of rolls on the short shovel, and there was no handle, and there were only a few such tools nearby: "Generally speaking, the last group of people who built the ruins will be buried in the ruins as a burial, but in order to prevent these people from escaping, all the tools will be taken away, so many people are buried here, but only these few tools are found, it can be seen that these craftsmen secretly hid them." ”
"I think I realized that it was impossible to get out, so I planned to use these tools to escape." I looked back at the stone path, which extended into the temple, and my brow furrowed and I couldn't explain it. "Since it's to escape for your life, you should dig out, how can you dig in the other way?"
"This stone path is in an arc, and it is obviously intended to bypass the Broken Dragon Stone, and it is estimated that it is not far from the cave wall." Tian Ji looked around and his voice was surprised. "But there are more corpses here than outside, so it can be seen that these people should be attacked when they are digging, since there is no harm on their bodies, what is it that attacked them?"
"This place is not to be left in for long." Ye Jiuqing took out the tools from his bag and asked us to work together to dig through the stone road as soon as possible.
The palace lord suddenly raised her hand to signal us to be quiet, and she listened calmly for a moment: "There seems to be movement outside, and there are squirming everywhere." ”
When we entered the temple, just in case, the sealing stone at the entrance was closed, it was impossible for anyone to come in, Gong Jue shook his head and said that it was not the footsteps of people, thinking of so many corpses of unknown cause of death outside, we suddenly became alert, Tian Ji pulled out a knife from his waist and walked out, Ye Jiuqing asked Gong Jue and Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou to stay and continue to dig, now there is no way to retreat, this stone road is our only hope of escape.
We went out of the stone path, and there was nothing in the lighted passage except for the corpses.
"Could it be that the palace lord heard it wrong." Tian Ji held the knife and looked intently.
"Have you ever heard the palace lord wrong......"
I was just halfway through my speech, when I suddenly stumbled under my feet, and something grabbed my ankle and pulled it into the bones, and I was caught off guard and pulled down directly, instinctively pulling the nearest field chicken.
A dark green vine crawled out of the shadow of the corpse and circled around my lap a few times, and one end of the vine rose high, as if it was about to pierce me.
As soon as the vine was cut off, it immediately shrunk into dry branches as if it had been roasted, and it was broken into several pieces at will.
When I fell to the ground, I saw the top of the passage, and there were corpses hanging on it, like people hanging on it, and when I looked closely, I found that the bones were all wrapped around the vines.
"Be careful, this thing is dangerous!" Ye Jiuqing reminded loudly. "The last time I encountered it when I went to Lingshan Jincheng, don't be stabbed by the vines."
As soon as Ye Jiuqing said this, I remembered that in the maze of woods leading to the Golden City of Lingshan, this kind of vine that could suck blood was specially used to prevent the Wu Clan from leaving Lingshan.
Just in our trance, a long vine like a cruising poisonous snake, swimming out of the shadow of the corpse, I can't tell whether this is an animal or a plant, but there is clearly consciousness, Lingshan Jincheng and here have this kind of thing, it can be seen that it is a creature created by the priest of Guiru.
The vine rolled towards the nearest pheasant, and the dark green vine had a cross-shaped stamen at the top, like a blooming white flower, but if you looked closely, it was a creepy mouth full of sharp teeth.
There was a grinding sound on the ground, and vines kept crawling out of the corpses, and for a time the whole passage was full of countless vines in all directions, and the open mouth and jaw were like a flower rising high at the end of the branches, like a snake spitting out a core, and surrounded us.
The sound of squirming was connected, the scalp of the listener was numb, the field chicken blade was in his hand, and he swung out with a knife in his quick movements, cutting off the approaching tree vines, Ye Jiuqing and I were on guard with all our might and did not dare to make the slightest mistake, but fortunately, Bai Jin was also a practitioner, and he didn't take these things in front of him in his eyes at all, and the long knife cut the rattan knife and broke the vine.
But there are too many trees and vines, I don't know what fear is, a steady stream of them are cruising towards us, getting closer and closer to our bodies, we rely on each other's backs to block the entrance of the stone road to resist, Ye Jiuqing shouted loudly into the stone road: "Hurry up and dig, it won't last long!" ”
The clanging sound of excavation in the stone road became more intensive, and I looked at the corpses on the ground to realize that these craftsmen were attacked by trees and vines, and they were all strangled in a sudden situation, and if they could not leave here, I believe that it would not be long before there would be only a few more corpses here.
I just thought of this, Ye Jiuqing was distracted by talking to the palace lords who were digging the passage, and the vines secretly crawled over for several days, and only when they arrived in front of Ye Jiuqing did they pop up, and their open mouths and jaws stabbed like poisonous snakes.
In a hurry, I violently dragged Ye Jiuqing back a few steps, but fortunately I retreated in time, and if I took half a step slower, those few vines would stab Ye Jiuqing's body.
Bai Jinlao was the sword dance in Yizhuang's hand, and he didn't put these vines in his eyes at all, and I didn't have time to remind him that Bai Jin's battle became more and more fierce, and he actually killed his red eyes, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.
The sides of his body were completely exposed to the attack of the tree vines, and I was shocked, and I was about to pull him back, but before I could make a move, the tree vines that were waiting for the opportunity on both sides of Bai Jin were like arrows from the string, piercing Bai Jin's body accurately from both sides like lightning flashes.
Bang.
Bai Jin, who was still alive a moment ago, stood stiffly, the knife in his hand also fell to the ground, his whole person was fat like a balloon, and the parts of his clothes were faintly showing some white light, which looked particularly strange in the dark passage.
And the surrounding tree vines also pierced Bai Jin's body in an instant, Ye Jiuqing looked flustered, and slashed down with both hands with a knife, dozens of tree vines were cut off, and white liquid flowed out of the broken vines.
I was terrified to see it, but there were too many vines piercing Bai Jin's body, and in just an instant, his body quickly dried up, and the whole person seemed to have all the blood and water in his body being withdrawn, and the whole skin was crumpled and shrunk on his body, and the craggy bones under the skin were on the edges, as if they were about to break out.
The other tree vines besieging us also turned their attention to Bai Jin's body, most of them turned their direction, and one pierced into Bai Jin's body, and the more vines pierced, the faster Bai Jin shrank.
Ye Jiuqing did not have the habit of leaving his companions, and he was going to save him by swinging his knife, but he was pulled back by me and Tian Ji, this posture was obviously not saved, and we saw that the white eyes were deeply sunken here, it was simply a skeleton barely covered with a layer of skin.
I suspect that when the vines pierce into the white near, they first inject a white liquid, which can not only paralyze people instantly, but also dissolve people's flesh and internal organs, and finally be greedily sucked by these vines as food.
Ye Jiuqing's eyes splashed with fire, watching Bai Jin's tragic death but he couldn't do anything, because the tree vines were all sucking Bai Jin, and for the time being, the number of tree vines attacking around us decreased, and only when he saw Bai Jin's death did he realize the horror of this thing.
In a moment, Kung Fu Bai had turned into a dried corpse, and after being discarded by the tree vines, they surrounded us one after another, Tian Ji asked with palpitations: "Last time we went to Lingshan Jincheng, we also encountered this thing, how did we escape at that time?" ”
Tian Ji asked me this before I reacted: "This thing is photophobic and cannot appear under any light, and can only move in the shadows." ”
Ye Jiuqing hurriedly threw away the knife in his hand, turned on the flashlight, and when the light shone on the tree vines, those monsters fled as quickly as frightened birds, dodging into the corpses, and I lit the torch and raised it high above my head, so that the shadows would only accumulate under my feet.
"Don't be stunned, you go into the stone road to help dig, I'll take it here!" I said to Ye Jiuqing and Tian Ji. "How powerful the three of them can be."
"I'll take it, you go." Ye Jiuqing said.
"When is it, it's still grinding, hurry up!" As I spoke, I pushed Ye Jiuqing and Tian Ji into the stone path, and then stood alone at the entrance.
Back then, these craftsmen even let go of the tools, how could they leave them with something to illuminate, in this dark passage, they could only let these vines be slaughtered, I subconsciously looked at the dry corpse on the ground, and I was still a little sorry, Bai Gu arranged these vines here, just to prevent someone from breaking into the Dragon Vein Temple, I am afraid he didn't expect that in the end, his descendants would also die tragically in the attack of the vines.
The vines were afraid of light, and there was no shadow around me, and although they besieged me, they couldn't find a chance to start, and the clanging of the digging in the stone path became louder and louder, and all the vines were attracted by the sound inside, and began to swim around me and into the stone path.
I was shocked, there was no way back from the stone path, once I let these vines in, the people inside would definitely die, I licked the corners of my mouth, and slowly put down the torch held high, I was instantly shrouded in shadows, and the vines swimming in the stone path immediately attacked me.
At the last moment, I quickly opened my five fingers, and a dazzling bright light shone from the palm of my hand, and all the trees and vines in the passage were invisible in the strong light, and were burned by the blazing light, and instantly turned into ashes and scattered in the passage.
This is the power of destruction that I used to restore with the spar on the primeval scepter, I have never intended to use it lightly, I used the power of destruction to kill Ling Xuan and Peng Ting in the Immortal Palace, but at that time I also realized that the power of destruction was weakening.
After all, I didn't recover my true strength, and the power of destruction evoked by the hedron for the time being is not long, and it will weaken a lot every time I use it, I originally planned to save the last to destroy the spar on the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but in order to save the people in the stone road, I exhausted the last of my strength.
"Dig through, hurry up and ......"
Behind him was Ye Jiuqing's anxious urging, he turned back and told me to evacuate, when he saw the ashes that kept fluttering in the passage, he was stunned, and looked at me in surprise: "Tree, where is the vine?" ”
I slowly lowered my hand and didn't explain to Ye Jiuqing, my voice was a little confused and hesitant: "Didn't you always hope that I would always be Gu Chaoge, now yes, just now, I lost my power as the lord of Longbo......"
