Chapter 52: Escape
Qixing touched a copper ring in Pixiu's mouth, and this copper ring was the mechanism that connected the copper chain in Pixiu's body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Qixing pulled the brass ring hard, and she found that it took a lot of strength to pull it out. She estimated that she could barely do it, but Hotaru shouldn't be able to do it.
At this time, I saw that Xiao Hotaru used all her strength to pull her face red, and only then pulled out a little bit, and then the copper chain retracted. Zhao Huxia walked to Xiao Ying's side after seeing it. With Zhao Huxia's strength, the copper chain on Xiao Hotaru's side was finally pulled out, and Qixing's side was about to pull it out.
But at the same time as Xiao Hotaru finished pulling the copper chain, Pixiu on Qixing's side suddenly shook. Then Pixiu's mouth suddenly closed. Qixing's first reaction was to stand up with the saber in his hand, which helped her buy her a second or two, and then Pixiu bit off Qixing's saber, but Qixing's hand was still a little slower and was bruised. But in the end, he succeeded in pulling the copper chain out.
While there was no danger, Qixing looked at Zhao Huxia fiercely. I didn't expect Zhao Huxia to harm her like this. Zhao Huxia said that he didn't expect Pixiu's mouth to suddenly close. He reckoned that this was a mechanism that had to be pulled out at the same time, otherwise the slow side would bite off its arm.
Zhao Huxia said that he had no malicious intent. But who will believe him at this time? Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound all around, and the huge stone door in front of me slowly opened. After the stone door was fully opened, the rumbling did not stop, but at this time the sound was very small, as if it was coming from a distance, and finally the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.
According to Qixing's description and time inference, it is estimated that the heavy object that fell to the ground was a boulder blocking our retreat. I didn't expect Zhao Huxia to want to block our retreat. Even if this man is not a walking corpse, his heart is not right.
Qixing took advantage of the fact that Zhao Huxia was still looking at the passage behind the stone gate, and she pulled Xiao Hotaru and ran. Although the road went round and round, there was only one road, and there was no fork in the road, so they ran until the end.
But Qixing didn't know how to open the stairs that led to the bottom. She fumbled around. Then I heard the sound of limping footsteps ahead. It sounds normal under normal circumstances, but in this dark passage it resembles the conjuring sound of a ghost. Qixing and Xiao Hotaru knew that it was Zhao Huxia who was chasing after him. At this point, they had no way out.
Qixing immediately picked up the pistol and aimed it in front, but the sound of limping footsteps stopped at the end of the corner, and Zhao Huxia seemed to anticipate what Qixing was going to do, so he didn't come out. In this way, they and Zhao Huxia kept facing each other across a corner. At this time, no one made a sound, but in the silent darkness, Zhao Huxia's big breathing was heard.
Qixing speculated that Zhao Huxia's body was originally not lightly injured, and coupled with the exhaustion and running, he soon couldn't hold on. It was only a matter of time before Zhao Huxia was subdued. Now the question is how to find the mechanism, go back to the cave below and inform us. Qixing motioned for Hotaru to continue groping for the mechanism, and she was wary of Zhao Huxia hiding around the corner.
At this point, I don't know if Hotaru accidentally touched the switch of the mechanism or what, the ground in front of them suddenly sank, revealing a staircase leading to the bottom.
Qixing didn't say a word, pulled Xiaoyi and ran down. They didn't see us when they came down. At this moment we happened to run to the end of the passage to inspect the stone that was blocking our retreat.
At this time, Zhao Huxia limped down from the stairs and walked down very weakly. Kaixing and Hotaru immediately retreated. Qixing raised a pistol and pointed it at Zhao Huxia. But Zhao Huxia didn't do any weird moves, maybe he had a hard time walking down the stairs, and he didn't have the strength to hurt Qixing and them.
After Zhao Huxia walked down the stairs, the stairs automatically rose back and closed. I saw that Zhao Huxia's face was covered with sweat, and the corpse spots were bigger than before, and he walked towards Qixing weakly, and said something vaguely in his mouth. This expression and behavior is more like that of a walking corpse. But Qixing thought that Zhao Huxia just now was thoughtful, and it couldn't be a walking corpse.
Qixing then fired at Zhao Huxia, but deliberately missed and missed him. He had only taken a few steps before he sat on the ground with his ass heavily on the ground, panting for breath. He leaned back against the stone, seemingly in a semi-unconscious state. Then the group of us came out of the passage.
"That Zhao Huxia is actually dying, and he didn't forget to trap us here and bury him with him!" "I really want to shoot this man." ”
"Since he is not a walking corpse, there is no way to explain his sudden disappearance, the corpse spots and the aroma of preservatives on his body, the elegant way he walked with his feet off the ground before, and the strange behavior on the top of the cave just now!" I say.
"Even if he's not a walking corpse, is he under a curse here or taking the wrong medicine?" Fei Bao said.
"You don't have any evidence that Brother Zhao is a walking corpse!" The wolf said to me.
"Big brother, you have seen and heard of what he has done with your own eyes. How do you explain Zhao Huxia's behavior? ”
"This ......"
"Lao Zhao will probably know the answer when he wakes up." Zhang Long said.
"He doesn't look like he can wake up!" Fei Bao said.
"Shut your foul mouth!"
"If he wakes up and doesn't run!" I said, "With the speed at which he was drifting before, I don't think there are many people here who can catch up with him." This time, you must take a good look at him, and you can't let him slip away again! ”
At this point, the crowd fell silent. The mysteries here are so many and complex that I don't have the heart to dwell on them all. Everyone is physically exhausted, they all have different injuries on their bodies, and their spirits have been in a state of high tension, so even if they rested for a night last night, they can't get rid of their fatigue.
I fumbled in my pocket and found that Qixing's watch was still with me, I looked at the time, it was almost noon. I returned the watch to Qixing. Then I told Fei Bao to be vigilant and keep an eye on Zhao Huxia's movements, and then motioned for everyone to eat something and take a break.
Just as I was looking at the dry and hard square bag, which seemed to drain the water from my mouth when I bit into it, I suddenly realized that something was wrong around me.
I immediately looked around and saw that the red dragon on the wall was gone. In their place are some mountain rivers.
I was surprised to walk up to the mural and find that there were mountains painted here. A river divides the mountains into two sides. It looks like a landscape painting.
In the upper left corner of the landscape painting is also engraved a text. Although I don't understand any of these words, based on the flowing strokes and the crooked and slanted trend, it is estimated that they belong to the same type of ancient characters engraved on the Wall of Curses and the Mirror of Heaven.
When others saw my behavior, they couldn't help but see it.
"No, it won't!" Fei Bao said, "Those two dragons are gone, and they have become landscape paintings!" ”
"Don't worry about you! Watch Zhao Huxia! I said to Fat Baby.
"Oh!"
At this time, Zhang Long sat next to Zhao Huxia and took care of him. Fei Bao sat not far away, looking at him with a folding shotgun. The others walked curiously towards me.
