Chapter 30: The Fork in the Road Crisis
I briefly told the pig head what happened in the past two days, and the thing shrugged: "You guys were in trouble from the beginning, I didn't believe what Zauhar said before, I thought you were talking about fun, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
"That's not right......" Liang Ruoyi suddenly frowned and looked at the pig's head: "How did you run into this secret passage?!" ”
"Secret passage?" The pig's head was stunned, and he looked around along the light of my flashlight, and then he suddenly realized: "Damn, this is a secret passage, where is the secret passage?" I don't know, I ran in in a daze, and those black-faced corpses were chasing me behind at that time, where could I think so much, and when I saw that it was a hole, I drilled it! ”
I glanced at Liang Ruoyi with a wry smile, and saw that she also happened to look at me, the two looked at each other, and shouted in unison, "Not good!" ”
"What's wrong?" The pig's head was holding a pig's foot to eat Zhengxiang, and he drank water while eating: "What's not good?" ”
"What the you just said, those black-faced corpses are chasing you from behind!" I whispered, "Isn't that ......?"
Before I could say this, I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to silence the two of them, and pressed the flashlight out, and the three of them slowly stood up and leaned against the stone wall on the side.
The pig's head foodie actually stuffed the remaining piece of pig's foot into his mouth, and I couldn't help but slap it, slapped the pig's foot out of his mouth, and felt a piece of blood stone and stuffed it into my mouth.
The pig's head was injured like this, and he didn't even lose the two big backpacks on his body, especially the backpack full of food! Seeing that I slapped off his pig's feet, the creature still glared at me with those small eyes, and took out a hundred blood stones from his body and stuffed it into his mouth.
This secret passage is completely inside the mountain, and there is no sunlight at all. As soon as the flashlight was turned off, we fell into endless darkness, and the visibility was only two meters, which was still vague and depressing.
A few seconds later, we heard a sound coming from a fork in the road not far away, and we knew it was the black-faced corpses that had arrived......
I suddenly thought of another possibility: as Liang Ruoyi said, for thousands of years, several people have been entrusted with the important task of protecting or maintaining this valley, and each person will give this secret mission to another person they trust before they die, and from this point on, it has been passed down from generation to generation.
One of the biggest doubts now is that the formation of this Tianshan Medicine Garden is estimated to have been thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, and at that time, no one would make a black-faced corpse. In other words, these black-faced corpses are likely to be made by a certain guardian at that time hundreds or thousands of years ago, in order to maintain the number of black-faced corpses, every once in a while, the guardian will bring some humans in, "feed" the black-faced corpses, make new black-faced corpses, and maintain the number of black-faced corpses in the valley.
And the guardian of today's Tianshan Medicine Garden is that Zauhar.
If my assumption is true, it will explain everything that is happening right now. And the guardian who made the black-faced corpse at that time may be a child of the royal family at that time, or an old wizard from Thailand in Southeast Asia......
I remember the weird murders that happened in Jinan half a year ago, and the weird Buddha card with evil spirits......
I was thinking about it here, Liang Ruoyi patted me gently, leaned into my ear and said, "Find a chance to run, we can't beat ......"
I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself, the two black-faced corpses almost killed the two of us before, and now there is a seriously injured pig's head, and the space here is extremely small, not suitable for fighting at all, especially since I don't have kung fu yet, it is better to see the opportunity to escape.
"Not good! Run! "I wasn't ready yet, when I heard Liang Ruoyi scream, and then I saw her jump up suddenly, her feet on the stone wall, and her body rushed into the darkness!
At this time, I didn't care about anything, so I hurriedly "snapped" and pressed the flashlight, and I saw that at least four or five black-faced corpses were already around us, and one of them was on our left, that is, to the east where Liang Ruoyi and I walked over, staring at me and the pig's head.
The four on the other side were stabbed to death by Liang Ruoyi first, and the other three were forced to retreat by the hundred blood stones spewed out of Liang Ruoyi's mouth, I didn't say a word, turned my head and sprayed a hundred blood stones at the black-faced corpse on the left, and then dragged the pig's head towards the empty space that Liang Ruoyi rushed away.
Life and death are really instantaneous, and the pig head didn't care about the pain of his wound at the moment of life and death, and quickly rushed out from behind Liang Ruoyi with me: "Take the road I came from!" ”
I was stunned, shook my head and said, "Then go back the way you came, didn't you say that there was a black-faced corpse chasing you, wouldn't it be a dead end to go back the same way!" Find one! ”
As I spoke, I couldn't slow down, so I casually found a fork in the left and rushed in, turned my head and shouted at Liang Ruoyi: "Beauty, hurry up!" This way! ”
Liang Ruoyi really didn't dare to fight these black-faced corpses, and when he saw us rushing over, he squirted out the last piece of bitten blood stone in his mouth, and then turned around and ran towards us.
The four black-faced corpses behind her also hurriedly chased after her, Liang Ruoyi ran to the intersection and turned her head to take a look, and actually dodged into another path, the four black-faced corpses were afraid of my existence here, so they chased Liang Ruoyi together!
"Damn, I'm sick!"
I yelled to chase after me, but the pig's head grabbed me: "Hey, go over and look for death?!" ”
"Get out! You forgot about you who saved you! I took a bite of the pig's head, broke free from chasing Liang Ruoyi, and the pig's head stomped behind me, copied out the narrow-bladed pig-killing knife, and followed.
Liang Ruoyi and the others ran very fast, and by the time I chased into the path, they were gone, and the dark path was very silent, and there was not even a trace of movement......
It's weird, it's only been a while, why is it gone?!
"What about people?!" The pig's head chased after him with a snort, and he couldn't see Liang Ruoyi, so he asked with a frown.
I shook my head slightly and stood up: "They shouldn't be able to run far, perhaps, Liang Ruoyi is hiding somewhere, four black-faced corpses, she definitely doesn't dare to fight hard, we just wait here, light up the flashlight, and lure those black-faced corpses over, maybe we can help Liang Ruoyi." ”
The pig's head had no objection, let out a sigh of relief, leaning against the mountain wall on the side, beads of sweat the size of beans fell drop by drop, although he ate and drank water, and replenished some energy, but it seemed that because of the excessive blood loss just now, his face was still pale and very weak.
I tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "What do you think of Zauhar along the way?" ”
"Kazakh boy?" The pig's head grinned: "Good man! This guy is really good, he helped us hunt a lot of game along the way, and it was very fragrant! ”
"Smack!" I slapped him on the head: "Just know how to eat, I mean, what do you think of this person?" ”
"He's a good guy!" The pig's head was still unhappy, and said with a stalk around his neck: "There is nothing wrong with the people, do you think he has a problem?!" ”
I frowned, although this pig's head is very smart, but it seems that his heart is too pure, he never thinks badly of others, and he can't hold back his words, he can't hide his thoughts, it is estimated that the seventh master has long begun to suspect Zauhar, but he just didn't tell him.
"I'll give you an analysis." I looked at the pig's head and said, "First, Zauhar knows that this place is dangerous, why did he come here for the sake of that so-called treasure?" ”
"It's worth the money!" The pig's head glanced at me, and he was also stunned after speaking: "Yes, if he didn't know what it was, he probably wouldn't have taken this risk, you mean, he probably knows what the treasure is here?" ”
I nodded and continued: "Second, when you are outside the valley, there is no 'U' shape on the map, why did this Zauhar just look at it and fill in the hole in the wrong map?" Even though he grew up here, he said he hadn't been in before, so how did he know the terrain here? ”
The pig's head turned to look at me: "You mean, he's been here before, and he told us he didn't, it's a lie......"
