In the face of the threat of death, people will become less human, and Gao Zi will surpass the speed that people should have, and surpass the five people running in front of him with the speed of the cheetah's 100-meter sprint. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a passage in each of the eight directions of the tomb, which is arranged according to the position of the eight trigrams, Gan, One, Dui, Second, Li, Three, Zhen, Fourth, Xun, Five, Kan, Sixth, Gen, Seven, Kun, Eight.
In the south, in a panic, Professor Chen went straight to the north on the opposite side, and the north belonged to the water, and the position was in the position.
The same way of the Kan position has the universality of water, meandering, every other section is a new fork appears, do not know where these forks lead, busy people have no time to think about these, they have a way to go, instinctive consciousness at this time is vividly embodied, they choose some shortcuts.
I don't know how many bends I turned, and finally I saw a light at a bend, and I don't know what this beam came out, and it shot down from the top of my head, and shone on a stone bridge, which was about three feet wide and three zhang long, blue-black, and was connected from one end to the other, and below was a bottomless ravine, and there were many small raised stones on the cantilevers on both sides of the ravine, and the small stones were not big, but there was no problem standing on two people.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Gao Zi will be quick to jump directly onto a raised stone on the right, turn around and beckon the remaining five people who are about to be chased by the bugs, and signal them to jump on the raised stone next to him.
Although Professor Chen is a little older, he often exercises on weekdays, and his body is very hard, no worse than the average guy, he first pushed Chen Li over, and after Gao Zihui picked up Chen Li, he himself jumped on a nearby stone on the left, and then turned around and caught Xu Qianya who jumped over.
Cheng Jialiang ran over from behind, and saw that there was no room for people on the stones on the left and right, so he ran across the stone bridge and quickly climbed to the height on the other side of the stone bridge, leaving only Professor Hong behind.
Professor Hong is an elderly woman, a rush has exhausted her, ran to the stone bridge that is not wide, saw the bottomless ravine, even more frightened legs weak, dare not move, so squatted on the stone bridge.
"Professor Hong, don't squat there, run, run!" Gao Zihui and Professor Chen shouted.
"Professor Hong, come up to me!" Cheng Jialiang stood on a high stone block and shouted at Professor Hong.
Professor Hong gasped and couldn't speak, his hands were propped up on the ground, the beam of light above his head just shone on her body, her face was full of helpless expressions, she shook her head desperately, she was speechless.
There was a sound of flowing water from behind, and then there was a wave of insects, which flowed over the stone bridge, touched her body, spread up, drowned her, and soon disappeared from her, and when the insect tide passed, only a pair of broken dry bones remained on the stone bridge.
Xu Qianya turned her back and didn't dare to look, crying silently on Professor Chen's shoulder, Chen Li also squatted on the stone and began to cry, the three men who were alive also opened their eyes and looked at the dry bones lying quietly on the stone bridge, feeling like they were dreaming, everything was so unreal, dream-like existence, but the silent dry bones told no living person present that all this was true.
"Professor Chen!"
There was silence for a long time before Gao Zihui spoke.
"This is supposed to be the legendary man-eating worm!" Professor Chen knew what Gao Zi was calling out to ask him, so he said in a suspicious voice: "The legendary man-eating insects grow in the depths of the swamp, and only in extremely filthy and rotten places can these insects grow, and when these insects mature, they will rush out of the swamp and eat meat when they see it. ”
"But these bugs should have been extinct thousands of years ago, so how could they be here?" Professor Chen was deeply puzzled.
Cheng Jialiang had already jumped down from the high stone, first went to Professor Chen's side, stretched out his hand to pull Xu Qianya up, then took Professor Chen, and finally went to the other side to pull Chen Li and Gao Zihui, a group of five people stood on the suspended stone bridge, looking at a loss, a life-and-death run, robbing their minds, even the most experienced Professor Chen did not notice the strange beam, as if the existence of that beam was both reasonable and reasonable, and he had long been accustomed to its existence, as if he saw the sun.
"Professor, what should I do next?" Gao Zihui asked.
Professor Chen glanced at Professor Hong's bones, sighed and said, "Now there are two choices, the first is to move on, and the second is to turn around and go back, you decide!" ”
Cheng Jialiang said solemnly: "Since they are all here, and they have sacrificed two people, if I don't go on, I am unwilling!" ”
Gao Zihui echoed: "Me too! ”
Xu Li and Xu Qianya have come to their senses after a period of venting, although they are still a little scared in their hearts, they still nodded firmly, agreeing with Cheng Jialiang and Gao Zihui's statement.
Professor Chen has lived a long time, accustomed to life and death, although his heart is sad, but he has adjusted his mentality, and said: "Since everyone has chosen to move forward, I won't say anything discouraged, let's go!" ”
After packing up their salutes and moods, the five of them took a step and walked towards the other side of the stone bridge.
After the five of them walked away, a small figure appeared in the mouth, carrying a small package on his back, and when he slowly walked to the edge of the beam, he saw his face, immature, delicate and not cute, delicate like a girl a little more, this person is Liu Zigui.
Liu Zigui stayed at the edge of the beam, raised his head and looked at the light source, but the light source was too strong, after looking at each other for a few seconds, he didn't see anything except dazzle, although he was curious about what could emit such a strong light, but he had seen Lin Jiancheng's fate, and he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that his small action would cause a disaster that he couldn't deal with, so he secretly wrote down this place in his heart, and planned to come over with Liu Shisan.
Liu Zigui carefully bypassed Professor Hong's corpse and passed through the beam, Liu Zigui walked very carefully, and felt more delicate, he didn't feel any heat in the beam, so he was sure that this was not the sun that sneaked in, and the others, he hadn't felt it carefully, and there was a sound like flowing water in the distance, Liu Zigui's expression moved, and he jumped up, leaped up, and landed on the raised stone platform next to him.
After a while, from the end of the stone bridge, the tide of man-eating insects that had just flowed back again, like a resurgence, black and shiny, dense, like flowing oil, dense and greasy, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, flowing across the stone bridge, back to the same way.
After the insect tide passed, Liu Zi returned to the stone bridge, and he didn't have the heart to study the beam, although he was not afraid of the insect tide, but after seeing it, he inevitably felt in his heart, so he hurriedly ran to the other end of the stone bridge.
