Chapter Twenty-Seven: Death

As soon as the chain was broken, the water monkey had nowhere to borrow strength, roared, fell unwillingly, and soon disappeared into darkness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt was at least a few seconds before we heard a "Bang! There was a muffled sound, and you could see how terrible the depths below were.

Biaozi couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and said with palpitations: "Fuck, fortunately, Lao Tzu was mentally prepared in advance, knowing that the guy inside would cheat the corpse, otherwise he would suddenly come like this, even if he didn't catch the other party's way, he would be scared to death." ”

As soon as the words of the mark fell, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the deep pit, which shook the entire underground cave and trembled slightly. We were so shocked that we didn't understand what was going on under the pit and why we were making such a big commotion, so we immediately retreated more than ten meters away just to be on the safe side.

There were three roars, three times and the cave we were in shook three times, and then everything was quiet again, and there was no more movement in the pit. Professor Zhang's face was pale, and he said with some nervousness: "What was that voice coming from just now, why does it have such power, this is simply terrifying." ”

Wu Jian's eyebrows were very powerful, and he said: "The yin qi inside is very heavy, if there is really something that can survive below, it is undoubtedly a giant snake, and it is a super giant snake." ”

Biaozi's face changed, and he said, "You said that the earth-shattering roar just now was made by a super giant snake, how is this possible!" "The mark doesn't seem to dare to imagine it.

The biggest snake I've ever seen is the snake with a thick water tank that I saw when I was in Maoling, although the snake can also make a roar, but compared to the loud roar in front of me, it is just a small thing, and it is not worth mentioning at all. So I dare conclude that if there is a snake under the pit, then it must be as thick as a locomotive, which is unbelievable.

But I immediately thought of another question, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, we don't have to worry about it, just imagine, that huge pit is bottomless, even if there is really a super snake, it will definitely not be able to come up, unless the snake can fly." ”

Hearing me say this, the others thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, and the tension in their hearts immediately decreased a little. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement coming from the deep pit, and we were completely relieved.

The standard is most concerned about the contents of the bronze box, find the copper lock on it, take out the dagger, and start to get busy. Picking the lock is one of the best things to do with the mark, and within a few minutes, the bronze lock was deformed by him, and then with a few strikes with a hammer, the copper lock fell off.

When we opened the bronze box, we were surprised that it was not a silk book, but a pair of bamboo slips. The bamboo slips are twenty centimeters long and about three centimeters wide, and there are about 300 pieces of them, which are strung together by several lines of flax thread.

There are many words engraved on the bamboo slips, but there is a clear difference with the Loulan script, the standard has also studied the ancient characters before, he said that this is the real oracle bone inscription, and the words on the bone vessel we took out in the underwater tomb are exactly the same, he immediately affirmed that the water monkey tomb and the ancient Loulan absolutely have an inseparable relationship.

But what is incomprehensible is that Changsha, thousands of miles away, could be implicated in this magical ancient desert country?

Professor Zhang thought for a while and said, "There are only two possibilities, first, the water monkey in the underwater tomb in Changsha is very likely to be a branch of Gu Loulan. Otherwise, the water monkeys here in Guloulan are branches of Changsha, but I am more optimistic about the first possibility. ”

I said: "The distribution of water monkeys is extremely wide, and there are such things in several provinces across the country, and I suspect that many years ago, this half-human, half-beast monster also had a tribe, and it may have been scattered all over the country for some special reasons, so we will find their traces in two places that are far apart." ”

Biaozi threw the bronze box into the bag and said, "According to your guess, the water monkey also had a big family back then?" This is too fucking nonsense, could it be that in ancient times, there was still a monkey country? ”

We can't help but wonder, but then again, who can say clearly about the things of ancient times? Thousands of years are too far away, and there is no information left, just based on the information obtained from today's archaeological exploration, it is simply the tip of the iceberg.

We were halfway through when the entire underground cavern began to shake again, and a roar came from the pit ahead. Although we were a little frightened, we didn't pay much attention to the thought that the guys below couldn't come up, and it was estimated that after tossing for a while, the guys below would eventually stop.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a column-shaped black smoke rushed out of the pit, like a black dragon, and hit the body of the bronze tripod, sending out a "bell!" There was a crisp sound.

We couldn't help but be shocked, we couldn't understand what the giant snake below had done, how it could suddenly emit a rainbow of black smoke. While we were bewildered and frightened, the violent roar rang out again, followed by "Bang! With a loud bang, the bronze tripod flew into the air, and a huge snake head was exposed in the pit.

The serpent's head was almost the same size as the pit, half a room in size, and it was covered in black scales that glowed with an eerie sheen, making people panic when they looked at it. The serpent had a vertical white line on its forehead, and below it were a pair of blood-red eyes, which at first glance thought were two red lanterns. Its mouth was full of fangs, and with every roar, a puff of black smoke erupted from it, like a black wind suddenly blowing towards us.

Wu Jian reacted first, and exclaimed: "That black smoke is definitely not good, everyone hurry up, don't be caught in the black smoke." ”

We recovered from our panic, turned and ran towards the wooden tower. After running to Tan Jia and Li Yishan in one breath, we stopped out of breath.

The label said: "My God, such a thick snake, it is estimated that it is the legendary dragon, but that's it." Do you remember the statue on the second floor of the stone tower, which was a black snake coiled up? Could it be that the patron saint of Gu Loulan is this super snake? ”

Professor Zhang nodded and said, "At first, I thought that the guardian spirit was those giant pythons in the palace, but now it seems that it must be this giant snake. But I don't understand, Gu Loulan has disappeared for nearly two thousand years, so during this time, the giant snake must have been replenished with no food, but why is it still alive? ”

Biaozi said angrily: "What time is it now, you are still working on biological topics?" It is estimated that it will not be long before the giant snake will crawl out of the pit, and I am afraid that by then we will all become the flesh between its teeth. ”

Bursts of roars continued to be heard from the other side of the pit, and each one became bigger and louder, and we looked in that direction with fear, for fear that the serpent would rush out entirely. But luck seemed to be good, and after tossing for a while, the giant snake could not come out, and then shook its head, and disappeared into the pit again.

I took one look at the pit and said, "The serpent's body is bigger than its head, so it can't come out, but if it hits it a few more times, the pit may be expanded, and then there will be nothing to stop it from coming out." ”

"It's really not good, it's only a preemptive strike." Biaozi blackened his face and said, "While it can't come out for a while, throw a few grenades down and blow it up." ”

I shook my head and said, "There's a lot of space under that pit, and I don't know how deep it is, so I guess it's useless for you to throw your grenade into it." ”

Biaozi said a little unwillingly: "Are we just going to sit and wait for death?" ”

But what else can we do but sit back and wait? Although no one said it, they all had this helpless thought in their hearts, because it could be seen from the expressions on their faces.

We were silent for a while, and at this time, Li Yishan dreamed a few words, and finally woke up, which made us a little overjoyed, it seems that Wu Jian's Gu worm pull still played a role, and the evil baby was completely solved.

Li Yishan rubbed his eyes and said with some doubts: "Why did I fall asleep?" By the way, what about the evil babies? ”

Biaozi smiled: "You kid sleeps quite soundly, but you make us people miserable." "I told Li Yishan about the rest of the matter, of course, everything is the credit of his master, and the others are just doing it.

Not long after, Tan Jia also woke up, and when she knew that I was almost stabbed to death by her, her face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at me with great apologies.

I deliberately pretended to be indifferent and said, "You don't need to pay attention to this matter at all, because you couldn't help yourself at the time, besides, aren't I okay now?" ”

Tan Jia bit her lip lightly, wanting to say something to me, but she never said it, just looked ahead with some resentment, not knowing what she was thinking. I suddenly found that this strong woman had unconsciously changed her personality and was like her before.

After chatting for a while, Biaozi couldn't help it anymore, so he said: "That super snake has always been a threat, whether it is useful or not, I think it is more reassuring to throw a few grenades." ”

Professor Zhang immediately shook his head and said: "You have also seen its size, if it doesn't come to provoke us, everything will already be fine, if you provoke it, isn't that looking for death?" ”

Seeing that Professor Zhang was opposed, he naturally refused to give up, and just wanted to refute a few more words, Wu Jian suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful!" Get down for me! ”

Wu Jian is a person who never jokes, what he said is so serious, we don't dare to hesitate, and almost subconsciously fall to the ground. Just then, gunshots rang out, and a dozen bullets flew over our heads and hit a wooden tower behind us.

I was shocked into a cold sweat on the spot, and secretly said in my heart, if it wasn't for Wu Jian's timely reminder just now, it is estimated that more than half of us would have seen the king of Hades.

Biao Zi hurriedly said: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and the situation is unfavorable to us, so everyone quickly hides behind the wooden tower." As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen more bullets flew out from behind a wooden tower in front of us, so that we couldn't even lift our heads.

We didn't dare to get up, so we rolled on our sides and headed for the wooden tower. The other party naturally saw our plan, and the bullets came more frantically, but fortunately, the wooden tower was not far from us, and in the case of danger, we finally hid behind the wooden tower.

Tan Jia said with some annoyance: "It must be the third uncle's person, I didn't expect us to be followed by them, what should we do now?" ”

Biaozi shook his head and said: "Although the third uncle is ruthless, he will never do this kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs, there must be someone else." ”

At this time, a familiar voice came from the front: "You can hide from the first year of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth, it's better to come out honestly, otherwise I will kill these four hostages immediately." ”

My face changed color at the same time as Biaozi, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Pockmarks! ”

Isn't Mazi's rival the third uncle, how can he have the leisure to come here, is it to kill me? It seems that only this explanation can say the past, and my heart is half cold at the moment.

Sneaking out of his head and looking ahead, Mazi and the others had already walked out from behind the wooden tower, and there were about thirty people, all with submachine guns in their hands, looking at us with fierce eyes. But what we didn't expect was that the hostages he was talking about turned out to be Sankera, Liu Dapeng, Chen Zidie, and Liu Feiyu.

Sankra and the four of them were tied with hemp ropes, and their mouths were also stuffed with cloth, and they couldn't make a sound, so they could only stare dryly, glaring at Mazi and the others.

Professor Zhang sighed: "This is terrible, Mazi and they have hostages in their hands, and we don't even have room to resist, let alone rescue the hostages." ”

Tan Jia thought for a while and said, "Don't mess around, let's figure out their intentions first." He turned his head to the outside and said, "As long as you let our people go, what conditions are there, try to say it, maybe we will reach a consensus." ”

Mazi sneered and said: "Female captain, I know your details, so I don't want to tie this bond with you, but there is someone under your hand, which is very important to me, as long as you hand him over, I will immediately release these four hostages without saying a word." ”

The person Mazi wants is naturally me, but Tan Jia didn't know the powerful relationship, but he just glanced at the others with some doubts, and then asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Mazi said: "This person's name is Yang Feiyun, he has to die today, otherwise, it will be all of you who will die." ”

"What?" Not only Tan Jia, but everyone except for the standard was taken aback and set their eyes on me. Tan Jia whispered to me and asked, "What the hell is going on, do you still want to hide it from us now?" ”

I smiled bitterly and said with some grievances: "It's none of my business at all, it's Mazi's wishful thinking to deal with me, the reason is very simple, my appearance is very similar to his opponent, it's such a ridiculous thing." ”

Tan Jia was obviously a little unconvinced, she seemed to think of something, and asked again: "This matter is related to the third uncle?" ”

I nodded, knowing that I couldn't hide this matter anymore, so I told Tan Jia about the transaction between the third uncle and me, and told her some of my guesses. But there is one thing I still hide, and that is the undercover business. Although until now, I still don't know who the undercover agent is, but no matter what he says, he is also the third uncle's person, and if I tell this matter, it will be revenge at all, so I will never do that.

Tan Jia showed a look of sudden realization and said, "No wonder the third uncle let us go so generously last time, it turned out that he asked you." ”

Seeing that there was no reaction from our side for a long time, Mazi obviously couldn't wait, and said coldly: "Give you a minute to think about it, if after a minute, the kid surnamed Yang doesn't come out again, then I will kill these four people immediately, and you can do it yourself." ”

"What should I do?" Professor Zhang looked at us, and he said, "The lives of Liu Dapeng's four people are in his hands, and if we don't agree to their conditions, the other party will definitely kill people and vent their anger." But we can't hand over Xiao Yang, otherwise he will definitely die, which is really a headache. ”

Tan Jia looked at us and asked, "Let's think about it carefully and see if we can think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

The crowd did not speak, and it was obvious that there were hostages in the hands of the other party, and any tricks were useless. I sighed and said, "One person for four people, it's a good deal, just let me go, anyway, I don't have many days to live, so it's more worth dying like this." ”

"No way!" The first one shouted: "If you go out, you will die, do you want me to watch you go to death?" ”

I said, "Can you watch Xiao Yu die again?" Seeing that the mark was stunned for a moment, I continued: "Don't think about it, this is the only way." ”

Tan Jia hurriedly said: "Although it is a very cost-effective thing to exchange one person for four people, it is unfair to you." ”

Li Yishan also said: "That's right, besides, if the other party doesn't believe in his words, and when you pass, but you don't hand over the hostages, then won't we lose the child and the wolf won't be trapped?" ”

At this time, Mazi's voice came again, and he said coldly: "You only have the last ten seconds to think about it." ”

"I don't have time, I have to gamble." I dropped the sentence and walked out of the wooden tower before the others could react. But what I didn't expect was that almost at the same time, other people also walked out of the wooden tower one after another, they gave up their lives and deaths, and stood in a row side by side with me, looking at the pockmarks in front of them.

At that moment, I was extremely moved in my heart, because I never thought that when my life was about to come to an end, I would be able to make a group of friends, a group of friends who share life and death, which is really rare.

In case Mazi suddenly attacked, when we walked out of the wooden tower, all of us raised our submachine guns and aimed them at Mako's side. Mazi had a hostage in his hand and seemed very confident, so he didn't pay attention to our actions at all, but just looked at us with interest. (To be continued.) )
