11. There was indeed a collusion between them

It's all here, and I have no choice but to go with it.

I was about to ask Xia Qihong to withdraw and "hide", greet the clouds, and ask about the fat man's situation by the way.

Xiangyun had already walked over, muttering: "You can count it, I'll go down to explore the road first, you should hurry up." By the way, the fat man said, don't wait for him, he will definitely not fall behind. ”

How could she find out about me, could it be that Xia Qihong's technique failed?

"Don't think about it, the problem is at your feet!" The cold voice of the bug rang in my ears.

I looked down and it dawned on me.

The light emitted by the fluorite on the stone steps under my feet is turning from white to red, and it is getting brighter and brighter. It is so sensitive that it can sense the pressure changes on this large bluestone and react accordingly.

This is a good way to deal with "stealth visitors", Xia Qihong's "hidden" technique met his nemesis.

Xia Qihong also discovered this secret, and an incredible expression appeared on his face: "How is this possible?" My concealment technique, when walking on the soft sand, does not leave a trace, but is detected by such a hard stone. ”

"Forget it, don't dwell on it. Everything in the world will have the existence of mutual restraint, and there is no absolute invincibility. I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You're already good, at least standing on the shoulders of giants." In most cases, your methods are outstanding!

Of course, when I said these comforting words, my heart was quite happy. As long as this guy has a sense of awe and completely subdues him to his subordinates, it is still possible.

Wait, how could I all of a sudden, have such an "insidious" thought.

I quickly shifted my attention to my feet, first cautiously, and then strode downward. After making a bold attempt, I found that I was better and better combined with Yu Tao's instincts.

Perhaps because I was in a hurry to get there, or because I was in a hurry, I quickly walked up the seemingly long stone steps.

When there were still a dozen steps left, I saw the clouds bouncing in front of me. Every time she landed, a light flashed on the ground, colorful and beautiful.

It seems that the ground in front of us is also full of this fluorite that can keenly sense pressure changes. I wonder if the original designer built the lighting system here in the most energy-efficient way, or to beware of high-level thieves like Xia Qihong? Or, a combination of both?

I thought it was because I had been waiting for me for too long and was bored to be alone, so I found such a game of "jumping and stepping on the lights" and entertaining myself here.

It was rare to see her show such a childlike appearance, and I couldn't bear to interrupt, so I simply stopped.

But she shouted, "Why did you stop?" Also, so far away! Hurry up! Or, help me kill them all; Or, you hurry up and think of a way that will get you out safely. ”

Guy? Kill all?

I hurriedly walked down a few more steps to see what was going on.

Isn't it, a group of black, palm-sized round creatures are "besieging" her. Maybe it's because these things are too small and there are so many of them, it's not convenient or practical to chop them with a knife, so she simply stepped on them with her feet.

Fortunately, although there were many of these things, they did not show any amazing means of attack, they were not fast, and they did not burrow everywhere like the scarab beetle in the mummy, but they were constantly gathering at her and letting her trample on them.

However, after further observation, I found that these little things were not deliberately attacking her. Because, she was only hit in one direction, and those who passed by her and behind her had no intention of attacking her at all.

She's just taking advantage of other people's ways.

The question is, these little things, why not just go around her?

Could it be that there is something that scares them, coming from behind me, and it makes them panic.

If that's the case, it's not a good place to stay for long, and we'll have to hurry up.

I was just about to raise my feet, but Xia Qihong rushed in front of me: "Master, let me try again, this hiding technique!" ”

With that, he had jumped on top of the army of black creatures.

Miracles have struck again! After he jumped up, these little things under his feet didn't react at all. Not to mention being trampled to death, they never stopped. Xia Qihong has reached the selfless realm that he "boasted of".

I was still stunned, Xia Qihong had already turned back, took my hand, and rushed forward.

It's really amazing, I can feel my feet stepping on pebbles, all the way forward; And they were my "stepping stones" unscathed.

Xiangyun saw it on the side, and was also surprised, smashed his mouth a few times, but didn't say a word, and finally turned around and rushed forward, and a string of bright spots flashed on the ground.

It didn't take long for me to figure out why these things were panicking under my feet.

I heard a roar, coming from behind, getting closer.

But it's not a good thing to be hunted down by it. I hurriedly picked up my speed and rushed forward without distraction.

But I'm still not fast enough, at least not as fast as the "chasers" behind.

As it got closer, I finally understood that it was the sound of the waves pouring down.

Could it be that this place I'm in is a sewer, or a floodway?

The point is, no matter what the place is for, whether there is an exit or where it leads. If I don't get out in time, I'm going to die.

As soon as the pessimistic mood comes up, the motivation under the feet goes down. I slowed down and felt weak at the same time.

Xia Qihong, who was following me, naturally knew that there would be a flood behind him, and at the same time, he also knew that his little trick could not withstand such a strong impact, so his face was not very good-looking.

He saw that my pace had slowed down, and he was a little anxious, but he didn't have anything to do. He wasn't known for his physical strength, and if he carried me, he wouldn't be able to run fast, maybe slower than he already is.

But he didn't dare to leave me alone, as if the master-servant agreement between me and him was really binding.

This time, no miracle came to my rescue.

The torrent behind quickly caught up with us, swept us in, and knocked me unconscious. I don't know for what reason, Fan Li didn't take the initiative to take out the ghost cage to protect me this time.

When I woke up again and opened my eyes, I realized that I was still in control.

I'm still in the water, but the environment has changed a lot. Xia Qihong made a bubble in the water, and placed me, as well as Xiangyun, who didn't know when he found him, in it, and everyone went with the flow.

The impact of the water was so strong that it lit up all the luminous substances on the ground and the walls on both sides, but it allowed me to see the surrounding scene clearly, which was much stronger than the previous feeling of pitch black.

The stone walls on both sides were carved with symbols, perhaps words, because I recognized several of them.

These symbols are painted very large, as if they were specially designed for "tourists" like me. It's a pity that this time they played the piano to the cow. I'm neither an archaeologist nor an expert in symbols or words, and I know neither nor interest in these things.

What really disappointed me was that I didn't see familiar fish in this torrent.

It's just that there are no fish in my impression, and there are still a lot of living animals, mostly shrimp and turtles. I don't know what the other weird-shaped things are.

If it weren't for Xia Qihong, who was close to him, I might have taken out my camera and taking pictures.

Wonderful water excursion that ended quickly.

I don't know when, the water was diverted, and we were sent to the bypass, no longer following the "big army" surging.

Not long after, we were taken by the current to a small waterfall and poured down.

Before the official fall, I vaguely saw a group of people standing in the open space not far ahead.

Could it be that I finally caught up with them in Inoue?

I have to say that this Xia Qihong still has a little ability. As he goes downstream, he "sticks" the bubbles we are in to the water at the bottom. Therefore, although it also fell, the bubble we "ride" was along the mountain, bumping and falling all the way, and finally rolling down to the ground outside the waterhole.

Not only were we not injured by the impact of the falling force, but the clothes on Xia Qihong and I were also dry.

It's really down-to-earth, and I just remembered that there was one less, so I asked Xia Qihong: "Just now, did you see the fat man?" ”

Xia Qihong didn't answer yet, but the fat man appeared in front of me like a ghost, with a smile on his face: "I thought that you had already forgotten me by patronizing yourself and running for your life, thank you for your concern!" ”

"You've been there a long time ago, or," I couldn't believe my eyes, and turned my head to look at the waterfall, "you've been quietly following us?" ”

"It's a secret, I can't tell it just yet!" The fat man winked at me, his figure flickered, and he disappeared again.

After all, it's not your own person, so you can't command and restrain it.

I shook my head with a wry smile, and turned my head to care about Xiangyun: "Beauty, are you okay?" ”

Xiangyun frowned, obviously a little unhappy: "It's okay, it's just that this clothes are wet, and it's a little uncomfortable, if only I could find a place to bake the fire." ”

I yelled behind her: "The target is ahead, let's take a look first." If it doesn't matter, how about you find a place where no one is, dry your clothes and come back? ”

"Well, that's a good thing to say, thanks!" After appreciating the clouds, he ran away again.

"Wait!" When I tried to stop her, I couldn't see her anymore.

Really, they've already caught up, so what's the hurry? Moreover, the enemies who can get here are all human spirits, and they can't be careless. That's why I said to take a look, not do it.

I was worried that I would get into trouble because of the recklessness of the clouds, so I had to hurry up.

But I was too late. When I just saw Inoue and them from a distance, Kanun was already fighting with the three surviving ninjas under Inoue.

In terms of speed and hand-to-hand combat, Shuyun is indeed superior, but I can see that the three Japanese ninjas are deliberately luring her towards Inoue.

This is an abnormal move, and it stands to reason that they should not lead the enemy to their core person, unless......

I thought of Kawaichi Inoue's secret weapon, and quickly raised my hand and shouted, "Come back quickly!" ”

But I didn't make a sound, and the bugs took control of my body first.

Before I could complain about the bugs, the yellow light flashed over there, and the clouds had fallen to the ground and turned into wood.

"Little brother, you have to grow up quickly!" Fan Li said to me, "Appreciating the clouds has already startled the grass and snakes, and can only become an outcast." You can't expose your whereabouts anymore. Make a temporary decision, you can't be rash! ”

I'm not stupid, I naturally understand the truth in his words, but I always feel sad when I watch my partner jump into the trap.

I stopped talking, and watched as the bugs led us, gradually approaching the target, and then, about sixty meters away from them, crouched down and watched.

I counted, and now there are only ten people left in this once-powerful expedition. Inoue Kawaichi, Ji Yu, Xiaoxue, my three mirror mercenaries, and the remaining four should all be Inoue's subordinates,

These four subordinates of Inoue Kawaichi have never made an official appearance in the team before. Among them, three are dressed as ninjas, and one wears a pair of large toad glasses and an old-fashioned blue silk coat, which looks like a storyteller before liberation.

No need to ask, this toad mirror must be Inoue's last trump card.

Along with these people, there were also more than a dozen boxes of various sizes, including two coffins.

In this way, they should have found the so-called treasure and taken it out.

However, since it is a "treasure", there should be more than that, why didn't they move?

After "cleaning up" the clouds, Inoue Kawaichi walked up to Ji Yu and discussed something in a whisper. This is the consequence of appreciating the clouds and scaring the snakes, although he did not see us, he is no longer at ease here.

Fan Li was very conscious, and removed the restraint on the "Heavenly Ear" in time, and their conversation reached my ears very clearly.

Inoue Kawaichi said, "It's not safe here, so go and take the mirror off!" ”

Ji Yu shook his head: "No! I want something, I haven't found it yet. This place should not be the only treasure cave, let's look for it again. ”

"You also saw the man's skills just now", Inoue looked very anxious, gesturing with his hands and feet, "If she is just a pathfinder, then when the reinforcements behind her arrive, none of us will be able to leave." Instead, take the mirror off first. Anyway, what you want, others won't be interested, just come and get it when you have time! ”

"Of course not", Ji Yu let out a sneer, "The two of us have been in contact for a long time. Can't I see that you are a person who is really ruthless and unscrupulous when you start doing things. I don't want to be like them, and then you will kill the donkey. I'll repeat, get mine first, and I'll help you get yours, and then we don't owe each other, and each goes its own way. This is what we agreed early on, and no one should regret it! ”
