Chapter 40: Two Hours Ago (10 o'clock, 2nd watch)

Two hours ago, Rowan had fled the devil's clutches and turned back into the garage hall, and as soon as he turned back, the shoulder lamp shook twice and went out with a "snap".

Luo Wen shook off the lamp on his shoulder, and after confirming the safety of the hall with the special vision of the evil eye, he quietly went up the flying knife ladder to the top, and then he squatted on the two flying knives he had stood on, and carefully checked the flying knives where Sima Yunyi and Xing Song had stood.

These flying knives are not excessively bent or damaged, but only a slight deformation caused by normal load-bearing, indicating that these two people left without sudden force, otherwise with the bearing capacity of this flying knife, it will definitely be bent at a large angle. There were no traces of a struggle on the wall, no scratches, and no marks left, which surprised Rowan a little.

He turned back to the surface and came under the throwing knives, which were covered with ice made of the urine of the sea, but there were no footprints of the two men on the ice. In other words, these two people were either taken away by something without knowing it, or they came down the ladder step by step without hurrying.

The ground was full of the corpses of rat yin beasts, flesh, mud, blood, and water, and the chaos made it difficult to follow, and the doubts in Luo Wen's head couldn't help but deepen. At that time, the place where Rowan and the three of them were fighting with the evil ghosts was very close to the gate of the retreat direction of the sea and the ancestral dragon, so it was impossible for Xing Song and the others to leave from this side without being discovered by themselves, it was only possible to leave in the opposite direction.

Luo Wen did not slack off, and hurriedly turned around and looked in the direction just now, and quickly followed up while being on guard, and the flesh and blood on the ground gradually decreased, and two groups of blood-stained footprints slowly appeared, judging from the size, it should be Sima Yunyi and Xing Song.

Rowan had several possibilities in his mind, but he felt that he couldn't stand it at all, if they betrayed the office, what was the motive? If he said that he was cowardly and ran for his life, it would be impossible according to his understanding of Xing Song, and he would have to give him three points if he fought hard. Could it be that the two of them have some secrets?

Luo Wen knew that his assumptions out of thin air were meaningless, so he simply quickened his pace and followed the footprints, but after only ten minutes of running, at a circular turn, Rowan found Sima Yunyi and Xing Song's combat backpacks and a full set of equipment, Rowan opened the backpack, and the supplies and equipment were intact inside, and even found Xing Song's bow and arrows.

It is perverse that two people cannot give up their provisions and equipment in this dangerous underground unless they have replacement equipment, or some reason to give it up.

Rowan stood up and looked around, searching for every crack, but found nothing, Rowan had to hang the purple lamp hanging on the side of Sima Yunyi's battle backpack on his bag, and then continued to move forward, about half an hour later, Rowan arrived at the stairs leading to the upper floor, and then turned back to the vent with ease, the broken rope hanging on the vent, and swayed with the gust of cold wind.

He looked at his watch and calculated the time, according to the time, the ancestral dragon and the sea should have been on it by now, so without any hesitation, he grabbed the lower edge of the vent with a vertical look at the lun, and entered the ventilation duct with a pull-up with both arms. Because he went straight down, Rowan didn't care about other forks in the road, and kept walking towards the mountain, and after a while, he reached a crack in the mountain.

But the more he walked up, the more wrong he felt, because the crack was gradually narrowing, and according to his memory, it should be wider the closer to the exit! Rowan couldn't help but quicken his pace, hunched over and walked quickly.

Suddenly, a completely unexpected situation appeared in front of him, the original mountain crack leading to the ground was gone!

It's incredible that this crack has completely closed here and turned into a dead end!

Rowan was surprised and gradually calmed down, sat in the crack and began to try to recall the route of the return trip just now, he knew that the most likely thing to cause this situation must be that he took the wrong road, after struggling with a few possible wrong turns, he was sure that his route was fine, then the current situation is that the exit that was originally good here disappeared out of thin air!

Luo Wen's heart sank suddenly, what's going on?

Ghost hitting the wall?

No, Rowan fully believes in his own abilities, the Evil Eye is immune to all known illusions, and even illusion-making potions are extremely resistant.

Can this underground base rotate inside the mountain?

The idea is very chic, but the Japanese could not have this kind of technique at that time, and it would be considered a bloody investment to hollow out the mountain, not to mention to make a rotating base that turns inward, which can only appear in science fiction stories, and it is completely unnecessary. Moreover, this mountain crack is an obvious natural merger, just as this dead end is the opening point or end point of the whole mountain crack, and it is not a section that is suddenly truncated by rotation, nor is it a collapse.

Rowan felt that his brain cells were a little insufficient, and he had encountered a lot of strange things, but it was the first time that he had made such a big deal, and he had repeatedly scrutinized every possibility, but he couldn't find reliable evidence to support it. Looking back, since this place has become a dead end, then Zu Long and the sea should definitely have found out, and it stands to reason that the two of them should be here to standby, waiting for their arrival, but since these two are not here, it is very likely that they will be in trouble halfway.

Although Luo Wen was a little worried about this suddenly disappearing exit, in the face of the danger that Zu Long and the sea might encounter, he didn't have time to think about this problem for the time being, and now he had to find a way to turn these two around, and then look for Xing Song and Sima Yunyi while looking for the exit.

As a last resort, Rowan returned to the underground base again and looked in the direction of the two ancestral dragons.

There was only the slight sound of his own footsteps in this long corridor, making an imperceptible light sound on the concrete floor, although the evil eye could see most things clearly in the dark, but after all, it was still limited, and because there was no light source, everything in his eyes was black and white, and he could only see the outline clearly from a distance, so he didn't dare to be too fast, so as not to encounter a surprise attack.

As he walked forward, Rowan continued to feel that he had some problems breathing, becoming more and more short, and the cold feeling on the tips of his fingers entered the brain with the nerves, and the blood seemed to be coagulated, and he kept shaking his fingers while walking quickly. But just when he went down to the second basement floor, a sudden chill rushed to the top of his head, and the right rib cage suddenly became as painful as a knife, and Rowan stumbled in pain and almost fell! He suddenly realized that it was not good, and he was thinking about the doubts in his heart all the way, which made him forget about his situation, and the ghost qi was actually starting to spread now!

Rowan couldn't help but stop, looked down to check his injury, the wound on the right rib that was scratched was full of ghost aura at the moment, and it began to swallow into the body, the wound was blue and black at the moment, and the muscles seemed to be dyed with ink, Rowan felt that the muscles there were beginning to become insensitive, and the numbness was wrapped in great pain, and the deterioration rate was very fast.

He hurriedly took off the purple light from the side and turned it on, and for a moment the blue-purple light reflected that he couldn't open his eyes, and his ears were full of electric currents, he hurriedly pressed the purple light on the wound, and used ultraviolet light to devour the ghost qi. The ghost qi seemed to see the flames of dry firewood, and suddenly wrapped the purple light, and suddenly the originally dazzling purple light seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frosted black cloth, desperately devouring the ghost qi.

Rowan gritted his teeth and leaned against the wall, his temples jumped in pain, and the cortex of his head tightened, he barely clamped the purple light under his armpits, and his hands clenched fiercely, and there was a burst of dizziness in his closed eyes, and for a moment he felt that Guan Erye's bone scraping and healing might be nothing more than that, at least the second master could still see the spring and autumn, and Rowan didn't even have the strength to open his eyes now.

After about a minute, the pain became less pronounced, and the brightness of the violet light was much lower than it had just been. There was no other light source at such a close distance, and the extremely strong purple light made Rowan unable to open his eyes, he felt like he was blind, unable to see the surrounding situation at all, it was undoubtedly extremely dangerous in this situation, he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the sides of the corridor to prevent a Yin Beast attack.

Seeing that the ghost qi at the wound gradually decreased, Rowan suddenly remembered that the sea was also clawed by the evil ghost a few times, and according to the time, it was estimated that the ghost qi of the sea should also attack now, thinking that this Rowan turned off the purple light, the injured area of the sea is larger than his own, so the diffusion speed will be relatively fast, and the power left in this purple light is not much, and enough power must be set aside for the sea, and he muttered in his heart that he hoped that the sea life was hard enough.

Rowan hung the purple light on the side, took out the hemostatic medicine and antibiotics from the combat backpack and injected himself, took off the tight combat suit and bandaged the wound, sat for a while before covering the wound with a throwing stick and barely stood up, and took a few deep breaths before moving forward step by step.

Luo Wen's forward speed has obviously slowed down, although the diffusion speed of the ghost qi has been temporarily controlled, but it has only been slowed down, and it has not been substantially alleviated, as time goes by, Luo Wen's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he slowly has to hold on to the wall to walk, and he shivered with a chill, and he himself is not sure whether it is caused by the ghost qi, or the reason why he is naked in this underground base that is close to zero.

He felt that the breath exhaled from his mouth was very hot, the sweat drops on his head were cold, the pain of the wound jumping and jumping, like someone using an awl to prick rhythmically, his hands and feet unconsciously wanted to hug each other, and his control over his muscles was also decreasing.

But just when Rowan was in unbearable pain, suddenly a very light metallic sound came into his ears!

Rowan stopped suddenly, leaned against the wall and reached out to reach out for the revolver from behind, forcing himself to look around with his eyes wide open, listening sideways, hoping to distinguish the location of the sound, he forced himself to hold his breath with his mouth open and gasped, causing a burst of vomiting.

"Ringing bell" sounded again, Luo Wen knew that he had heard it correctly, and he recognized the sound, it was the bell hanging on the ancestral dragon's flying knife!

While dragging his body in this direction, he scolded in his heart: "Zu Shao, Zu Shao, aren't you lost again?" ”
