213:Spooky 'Help'
Under the influence of these flower butterfly powder, the flowers around us grew more and more luxuriant, so that we couldn't see where the castle was, plus the vines of the flowers around and the butterflies chasing around us, after running for a few minutes, we finally lost our destination completely, to be precise, we were lost!
At this time, the two of us were like two headless flies running around in this sea of flowers, and somehow, the saber in our hands had cut off all the flowers that were dangerous to us around us, but once they touched the flowers for a few seconds, they would grow again, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for the two of us to escape.
At this moment, a 'poof' gunshot rang out, and the soldier and I reacted instantly.
"The direction of the gunshot should be over there, could it be that there are other people alive in here?" I was a little overjoyed and said, "Come and have a look." ”
After running along the sound for about five or six minutes, I saw hundreds of flowers and butterflies flying in the sky in front of us, and the two of us didn't dare to get too close, so as not to be found by these flowers and butterflies to escape, and when the two of us got closer, I found that there was a gun scattered on the ground, as well as some clothes and pants that were torn to shreds, and I was a little surprised to see this scene.
However, when the two of us continued to walk a few steps forward, an even more horrific scene appeared, that is, a group of flower butterflies were biting a soldier at this time, seeing that he should be dead, his whole body was torn into pieces, the butterflies were eating his flesh in an unsteady manner, and the flowers around him were sucking his blood with vines, and the two of us did not know what to do when we saw this scene, and after two or three seconds of silence, we decided to leave here as soon as possible.
Not all the flowers in this sea of flowers will eat people, they will grow vines, but some of the flowers will change, but in this innumerable, dense sea of flowers, who can know which flowers are eating people?
So we can only use the most hateful move, which is to cut off all the flowers that come close to us, and these flowers will grow again as soon as they come into contact with the powder of these flower butterflies.
After two or three hours of hiding in this sea of flowers, the castle, which was not too far away from us, seemed to be getting farther and farther away from us, and the two of us gradually began to feel a little tired and bored, and even had the urge to pick up a gun and shoot it at our head, but we quickly suppressed this urge.
"Chief, who did you say planted these flowers, damn it, there are so many flowers that can eat people, what are you planting them for, you can't be here to eat yourself!"
I didn't say anything when I heard this, but quietly walked all the way to where I thought I was, and although my body was very tired, I didn't seem to have any reason not to continue walking in the face of the flowers and butterflies that were fluttering around me.
The wound on my left hand had stopped bleeding for so long, but the wound was starting to turn a little purple around the wound at this time, and I knew very well that it was most likely because the mouths of the butterflies were poisonous, but now the two of us really didn't have anything except a few pistols, a saber, and a few daggers, nothing else to eat, drink, or medicine, so the only thing we had to do was to ignore it and pretend that it had happened.
I don't know how long I walked, but I knew that the sky was starting to become cloudy, and there was thunder from time to time, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.
However, it seems that God is helping us, and we thought that we would be more miserable now, but who knew that these flowers all began to shrink, and the flowers and butterflies that were originally so aggressive that they wanted to break the two of us into pieces also flew away, and the flowers were no more than one person tall just now to no more than their knees now, and the castle that disappeared in the sea of flowers instantly appeared at the end not far in front of us.
The excitement in our hearts was speechless, but what made us even more excited was that due to the shrinking of the flowers, dozens of soldiers with sabers appeared around them, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't hold back my excitement at the moment and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up to the castle!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the voice seemed to alarm the sky, but in an instant it could be described as a heavy downpour, lightning and thunder, and the wind blew up fiercely for a while, and the wind blew us a little crooked, just in the blink of an eye, we were completely soaked, braving the wind and the torrential rain, we were very rare to march towards the castle.
And I seem to understand why these flowers have to shrunk up, otherwise such a strong wind would easily uproot them or break them at the waist.
With the last of our strength, we finally ran to the foot of the castle gate, and saw that everyone was injured to varying degrees, and there was a trace of exhaustion on everyone's faces, presumably they had suffered the same hardship as we did.
I glanced around the crowd and asked, "Did anyone see the professor?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and several of them said, "No, I just know that I feel like I have been dragged into the water by something, and then I open my eyes and I am here!" ”
Hearing the big guys say that, I only answered twice, but since the big guys were pulled down by others in the same way, then obviously the thing that dragged us was the mechanism or passage that entered it, but this is not very realistic and scientific.
According to the teleportation story of the Hundred Flowers Country, someone brought a large number of troops here, if it is to attack the city, then it will inevitably bring the equipment and equipment needed for the siege, if it is just relying on the thing that drags us, then so many things are unlikely to enter from the underground passage we came to just now, unless it is a secret passage, a secret passage for escape, and there should be a road to the place that really leads to the Hundred Flowers Country, but for now, you don't have to pay attention to where this avenue is, Instead, focus on the castle first.
"Judging from the previous evidence, the group of people who arrived here before us should be in the castle, so from this moment on, everyone must be loaded and ready, and they are not allowed to shoot unless they have to, so as not to startle the snake, understand?"
"Understood, Chief!"
I nodded in response, and then tried to push the huge gate open, with my own strength I could only push the door a little, but not enough, so after a dozen people pushed it together for a while, the gate was finally slowly pushed open by us.
However, the door was opened, and the scene that greeted us was a little surprised, and we saw that the streets in the castle were full of corpses, and whether it was the city wall or the ground, or those abandoned houses were obviously burned, from this point of view, the legend of the Hundred Flowers Country is very likely to be true.
The city gate is directly opposite a street, and at the end of the street is a very high staircase leading to the palace-like building halfway up the mountain.
Without the slightest hesitation, the few of us rushed to the palace building, because only the palace-like building in the castle had not been damaged, and the rest of the place had already been burned to pieces.
After a while, our group came to the bottom of this staircase, looked up, and saw that this staircase seemed to be like a heavenly court as magnificent, the staircase was about 100 meters wide, every twenty or thirty centimeters was a step, and the width was about forty or fifty centimeters, such a huge staircase must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build.
The staircase is nearly 100 meters high, it is like a ladder to heaven, climbing such a staircase, to be honest, I am already tired and a little unbearable, but looking at the entire castle, it seems that only this palace can still escape the torrential rain and strong winds.
It took about ten minutes, our group came to the palace gate, the palace gate is made of stone, the door is nearly ten meters high, about five or six meters wide, and the Roman pillars on the left and right sides are each carved with a dragon circling upward, but this is different from the dragons in our Central Plains, these dragons are more like centipedes, that is, the legendary hundred-legged dragon.
Pushing open the stone gate of the palace, there was a pungent and abnormal smell of blood, as soon as I smelled this smell, I felt that something was not quite right on the spot, if that group of people really came here before us, then they should have also entered this palace, and since they have entered, they will inevitably open a stone door, once the door is opened, once the smell of blood inside comes into contact with the air, it will not take long to disappear, but now the smell of blood in it is indeed so pungent, Obviously, it must have been at least many years before it had been opened, which is why it smelled so pungent.
I don't want to do this thing, this thought becomes more and more weird, is that the group of people and us are walking a different road, or that there are other passages in this palace, when I think of this, my back is faintly cold.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone in the team shouting, "Chief, come and see!" ”
Without the slightest hesitation, I hurried over, and when I looked at the soldier's finger, I saw that there was a piece of floor with the words 'help' written in blood.
When I saw this word, I subconsciously took a look at the body of the person who wrote the word, the clothes he was wearing were very familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere, and it was a bit weird, he was already dead, in order to write the word "help" on the ground, could it be that he couldn't speak where he wrote this! Moreover, these two words are still written in reverse, which is completely illogical, just ask a person if he wants to be saved by others, why should he write help in reverse, is it possible that the person is in the mirror, and the most important thing is that he can't speak, as long as the person who rescued him sees that he is alive, he should also save him!
So, there's no need to write the word help! Could it be that these two have other meanings, but, damn it, the word "help" only has this one meaning, who does he want to call to save him? (To be continued.) )
