Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rescue the Seventh Master
In the darkness, after walking through the tunnels for a few minutes, I proved that my opinion was correct - under the entire Yashan Sea Palace, there were countless intersecting tunnels, like a huge underground spider web......
After walking through this claustrophobic environment for more than ten minutes, I already felt a little suffocated, and I stopped and gasped: "Hey, hey, beauty, wait a while, rest, I can't do it......"
Because the tunnel was very narrow, it was impossible to turn around at all, so Liang Ruoyi turned over on the spot with some difficulty, lying on the ground and looking at me: "What's wrong?" Do you still have claustrophobia? ”
"If you don't have it, you have to have ......" I smiled bitterly: "If we go on like this, we will probably not be able to get out, and maybe we will go directly into the tiger's den and send it directly to the lair of the dead vine king!" ”
"Well, that's right." Liang Ruoyi groaned: "That's it, let's take a gamble and see if we can find an exit here!" ”
"Exit?" I didn't understand what Liang Ruoyi meant for a while, I raised my head and held a flashlight to shine in front of me, and I saw that she took out a black iron thorn from her backpack, clenched her hands in front of her chest, and then poked it upwards hard!
Suddenly, the soil above Liang Ruoyi began to fall off, and unexpectedly, in less than a minute, she heard a crisp sound of "poof", and she actually poked a hole!
"Good boy, what a bet!" I was suddenly excited, and if I had stayed in such a dull and dark place any longer, I would have really cried, and when I saw Liang Ruoyi dig out a hole, I couldn't wait to crawl forward.
"Hey!" Liang Ruoyi gasped a little lightly and looked down at me: "We don't know where it is!" ”
"No!" I thought for a while and said: "When we came down from the front of the Upper Palace, the first way we took was in the direction of the Upper Palace, and now this tunnel should also be, we have never turned a corner, if the above is correct, it should be near the Upper Palace, or the interior of the Upper Palace." ”
Liang Ruoyi saw that my expression was firm, and it looked like I had to go up, so he could only nod, make the hole bigger with iron thorns, and then drill out.
I hurried out, and in the darkness I got back to my feet, stretched, and let out a sigh. Looking at Liang Ruoyi taking a flashlight and shining around, I was so scared that I almost peed out!
let me be right, now we're both in the mouth of the tiger and we've sent ourselves to the door - we're in a room of unknown size, why don't we know? Because all sides are blocked by the arm-thick dead vine, and there is no gap left! And right in front of me, there was a large black mass of dead vines tangled together, like a giant leather ball!
"Let's go, let's go!" I found Liang Ruoyi, turned around and was about to return to the tunnel, but I didn't think that as soon as one foot entered, I touched a hard thing, and hurriedly retracted and took a flashlight to shine it, and found that unconsciously, the dead vine had blocked the tunnel......
It seems that they have been eyeing us for a long time, and they are just playing tricks on us - they don't eat the living anyway, and they don't eat them until they die!
"It's over, it's over!" I looked at Liang Ruoyi with a sad face: "What should I do?" Otherwise, we'll burn this place on fire! ”
"!" Liang Ruoyi stared at me with round eyes: "There are wooden structures everywhere here, if you really set a fire, we will also become roast suckling pigs!" ”
"What then?!" I smiled wryly and said, "Do you think I'm not slipping away now?" The decisions I make are all bad outcomes......"
"Get used to it!" Liang Ruoyi glanced at me with a smile, looked around with a flashlight, and muttered, "These dead vines really seem to be waiting for the orders of their leaders, and they won't take the initiative to attack, or are they engaged in activities such as hibernation?" The point is, we don't know where we are now, and we don't know where to strike from there, to be able to find an exit. ”
I thought about it, but I took out a torch from Liang Ruoyi's backpack and lit it: "Don't set fires, just see if you can disperse them." ”
Liang Ruoyi nodded at me, reached out and took out the short blade and followed me. I took two steps forward and decided to experiment with the big ball of dead man's vine.
Looking closer, I could see that these dead vines were very damp, and water droplets were still dripping slowly in many places, which looked a little cautious. I slowly brought the torch closer to the giant dead man's vine ball and placed it on a spot to roast slowly.
One minute, two minutes...... After about four or five minutes, they finally couldn't help but move, slowly pulling a piece of their body out of the tangled orb and retreating back.
In this way, the sphere spread out layer by layer and retreated to the wall, as if it were a cocoon, and soon a small ball with a diameter of more than half a foot was left.
"Wait......"
Liang Ruoyi, who was standing beside me, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me, I turned my head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Look." Liang Ruoyi pulled me back and then pointed to me and said.
I looked up in confusion, and saw that the dead vines, which had been dispersed by my torches, were now holding their heads high, like countless spikes, and they could attack me at any moment!
It was then that I saw what the head of the Dead Man's vine looked like: at the top of the black vine, it was protruding into four small vines two fingers thick, with a black hole in the middle, like a mouth, and like a place where seeds were born.
If you guessed correctly, the strangulation marks on those skulls were caused by these small vines the thickness of two fingers.
Seeing their tense appearance, I couldn't help but take a few steps back, you know, there is no escape exit in this place, if you provoke them, Liang Ruoyi and I may die here!
But if we don't fight them, we won't be able to get out either!
Thinking of this, I looked bitter, and turned my head to look at Liang Ruoyi: "What should I do?" I can't fight now! ”
As I spoke, I reached out and took out the dagger, but before Liang Ruoyi could speak, I suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air, and hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see a black light passing by, thrashing hard in my chest, and directly pumping me out!
And the moment I flew out, I gritted my teeth and threw the torch in my hand towards the black dead man's vine!
"Bang", I fell heavily to the ground, because I was afraid that the wound behind me would be infected by secondary injury, I grinned and hurriedly stood up, and saw that the dead vine subconsciously and quickly withdrew after feeling the torch I threw over, like a flower blooming out of thin air!
As they pulled away little by little, Liang Ruoyi's eyes and I slowly widened: just as the dead vine slowly pulled away, a person's feet were exposed, followed by legs, body, arms, and head......
No way! It turned out to be the Seventh Master?!
"Seventh Master?!" I shouted, in the dimness, the person who was already dying under the flashlight light, who was not the seventh master?!
"I'll lure them away, you get the Seventh Master out first!" Liang Ruoyi quickly formulated a simple battle plan.
I answered, took out a torch from Liang Ruoyi's hand and lit it, and then divided into two ways with Liang Ruoyi's soldiers, one left and one right, and walked towards the dead vine opposite.
When the distance was less than half a zhang away, Liang Ruoyi nodded at me, jumped up with a little foot, and swung out a short blade with cold light, instantly cutting off the heads of several dead vines, and suddenly these disgusting black vines all turned around and rushed towards Liang Ruoyi.
And I also saw the vacancy, brandished the torch and rushed over, endured the pain behind my back, set up the seventh master, turned around to leave, but suddenly found that the dead vines behind me had rushed over with their teeth and claws, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and I saw a layer of goosebumps on my body in an instant!
It's bad, now, there's really nowhere to escape!
In desperation, I could only shout, holding the Seventh Master in my left arm, waving a torch in my left hand, and waving a dagger in my right hand, and walked towards Liang Ruoyi while squeaking and screaming.
"Gu Rui! There's a road here! ”
The ice beauty suddenly yelled at me, which made my heart happy, and after scaring off a few dead vines, she hurriedly turned around and ran towards Liang Ruoyi.
Liang Ruoyi had retreated to the corner at this time, I saw a black iron door on the wall behind her while running, Liang Ruoyi waited for me to be in front of me, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, we didn't say a word, and I didn't have time to think about what would be in the door, so I dodged and hid in!
With a "snap", Liang Ruoyi closed the iron door......
