Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Standing Corpse
The road must be walked at the foot, and the dream is indulged in the heart;
The matter has come to this point, there is no way back, no way to choose! Death is still on the way forward!
Zhou Tianyi stood with a blank eye, thinking about the way to pass through the passage of the mechanism; This kind of bow and arrow machine can not be used too many times, counting from the broken stone arrows on the ground, let alone thousands! Seven hundred years ago, how did the ancestor Zhou Jiutian pass?
The walls on both sides are full of arrow holes, and everyone who walks here can easily spot the traps set up on both sides! Since the ancients put the mechanism in the open, it can be explained that this mechanism cannot be broken casually, and there may not even be a way to crack it, the only way is to break the mechanism with life, so that all the stone arrows inside the machine can be shot to break this mechanism! Who knows how many stone arrows are hidden in the machine?
Dong Tinghua leaned against the wall with a tired face, looked at Zhou Tianyi who was thinking, and showed a wry smile, thinking about the unknown ・・・・・・!
"I'm so hungry・・・・・・ uncle・・・・・・ give me a chicken leg to eat・・・・・・!" The little beggar looked like he was begging, leaning on Dong Tinghua's side and shouting.
Miao Weiqiang leaned against the wall and fell asleep ・・・・・・!
In the passage of the mechanism, the two corpses were far apart, side by side in a straight line, and there was a distance of about five or six meters in the middle, why were the two corpses so far apart? Side by side in a straight line?
When I close my eyes, I think of a picture from 700 years ago!
Zhou Jiutian and a group of brothers and sisters came here to find that the walls were full of arrow holes, and they knew that they couldn't crack it! A disciple sacrifices his life to risk his life in search of a mechanism that can trigger the mechanism!
The method is simple, follow a straight line! The first person triggered the trap and died, the second person continued to follow the route taken by the first person, and the third and fourth ・・・・・・! Until you pass through the trap passage!
The first person walked into the passage of the mechanism, and when he stepped on the trigger bracket under his feet, he quickly lay on the ground to protect the trigger bracket under his feet, and the first person was killed by random arrows! The second man followed the path taken by the first man, came to the corpse of the first man, stepped over the corpse, and continued on! About five or six meters later, the second person touched the bracket and also lay on the ground to protect the trigger bracket ・・・・・・! When the third person was the third person, he successfully broke through the mechanism! The people behind followed the route taken by the three of them and passed through the passage of the mechanism.
Zhou Tianyi opened his eyes and looked at the two corpses lying in a straight line, and was full of emotion! This kind of behavior of not fearing life and death, risking his life, and opening up a channel for his companions is admirable!
"I'm so thirsty・・・・・・!" The little beggar licked his lips and swallowed his saliva and said.
"God stick, do you think about how it passed?" Dong Tinghua asked.
Miao Weiqiang is still asleep ・・・・・・!
Everyone is tired, and they have been spending time in a tense and fearful atmosphere since they went down to the Demon Ancient Cave! The biggest dilemma we are facing now is food and water, and the light of the flashlight is getting weaker and weaker! I want to get a good night's sleep!
Zhou Tianyi let out a 'hmm' and continued: "I'll go over first, if I'm okay!" You pass where I walked! After speaking, he woke up Miao Weiqiang to pass the lighter, turned around and walked towards the passage of the mechanism.
"Divine stick ・・・・・・!" Dong Tinghua shouted, but he wanted to stop talking!
Miao Weiqiang, the little beggar looked at Zhou Tianyi with concern, knowing that Zhou Tianyi wanted to use his life to practice his speculation.
"I'll go!" Dong Tinghua pondered for a moment and said.
Zhou Tianyi looked back at the three of them, revealing a calm and confident smile: "Believe me, I'm sure ・・・・・・!" ”
With a lighter, I walked forward cautiously, nervous! The flames from the lighter are not clear to see from the road ahead!
"Why is there no electricity?" Dong Tinghua said, the flashlight emitted a dim red light, and the power supply was about to run out.
Little beggar, Miao Weiqiang's eyes didn't blink, and he looked at Zhou Tianyi's back with concern・・・・・・!
Zhou Tianyi was very nervous every step he took, all of this was his own speculation, if his speculation was wrong, then there was only one result, the random arrow pierced his heart and buried himself in the Demon Ancient Cave! There's one more corpse in this passage!
The three of them held their breath, nervously looking at Zhou Tianyi's feet, whenever their footsteps landed, seeing that they did not touch the mechanism, they would exhale at the same time, and at the same time take in a breath and wait nervously, the next result ・・・・・・!
Among the four people, Zhou Tianyi is the backbone, witty, strong observation ability, and has a very high judgment and speculation, if he loses this backbone, he really doesn't know how to go behind him, only guarding Zhou Tianyi's corpse and waiting for death, it is not a life, but a common death!
The three of them pinned all their hopes on Zhou Tianyi!
Zhou Tianyi stood next to the first corpse, and by the dim light of the fire, the corpse was wearing a Taoist robe, lying face down on the ground, with a bow and arrows carved in stone on its back, and a piece of wood next to its hand!
Exultation!
The log was supposed to be a torch, and he cautiously reached for the torch, like a thief, for fear of being found by the corpse. Suddenly, he stood up and grabbed his throat and shouted, "This is my ・・・・・・!" "The corpse did not stand up! Breathing a sigh of relief, he lit a torch and shook it to Dong Tinghua, Miao Weiqiang, and the little beggar behind him! With a trembling body, he stepped over the corpse and continued to walk forward.
With the torches, you can see the road ahead more clearly!
The three of them were nervous, looking at Zhou Tianyi's back worriedly, forgetting about hunger and exhaustion. Seeing that Zhou Tianyi picked up a torch, he felt a little comforted, but he was worried that the corpse was ・・・・・・ to deceive the corpse!
At a distance of five or six meters, Zhou Tianyi walked for a long time, and came to the second corpse, the shape was almost the same as the one in front, cautiously picked up the torch on the ground, and found that the corpse had a Taoist Qiankun bag hanging around his waist, and he had the courage to put his hand inside, and touched it back and forth twice, and found more than a dozen Taoist talismans, a copper bell, and other things had been taken away.
Walking here, you can conclude that your speculation is correct, and you still don't dare to take it lightly, and you may hate this place if you make a slight mistake!
The three of them took a deep breath and leaned against the wall tiredly, looking at their appearance, they were much more tired than Zhou Tianyi, and this was indeed the case!
(Athletes participate; Is it the coach who is tired, or the athlete who is tired? The answer is that the coach is tired! This involves psychology, I'm afraid that there will be too much nonsense and book friends will be disgusted, so I won't talk about it! )
According to Zhou Tianyi's method, the three of them quickly passed through the passage of the mechanism, and the two corpses did not cheat the corpses, and their souls may have been taken out by Zhou Jiutian!
The power supply of the flashlight has been exhausted, but Dong Tinghua is reluctant to throw it away.
Holding the torch and continuing to walk forward, just about ten meters away, the three of them were stunned in place!
On both sides of the passage, men and women in ancient costumes stood side by side, leaning against the wall, expressionless, with closed eyes and frowns. There are no scars on his body. The costumes they wore were extremely similar to those found earlier, ancient patterns, mysterious animals!
The order in which they stand seems to have been arranged in a special way, one male and one female, one child or two in the middle, it should be a family! How can a dead man stand against a wall? Are they all zombies?
The torch emitted a faint glow and shone on the corpse's pale face! Why are there so many corpses in this passage? Judging by the costumes, they may be the people of the cave royal family, how did they die? Who killed them?
First, tens of thousands of corpses with limbs and heads cut off in the corpse road, and countless corpses appeared here! What's going on? Who is behind all this? Who started this massacre?
After the shock;
Walking inside with torches, the expressions of each corpse were similar, as if they were not in pain before they died, and some were smiling! Ended his life without knowing it, leaving no scars! Or maybe you died of poisoning!
"God stick, they won't cheat the corpse, if there are so many corpses together, if they don't get strangled to death, they will be scared to death!" Dong Tinghua said.
"Don't worry, these corpses won't cheat corpses! If you cheat the corpse, you will cheat it seven hundred years ago! Zhou Tianyi said, the ancestor Zhou Jiutian must have walked here seven hundred years ago, and there was no corpse fraud seven hundred years ago, and it should not be now!
