Chapter 90: Escape
The pouring yellow sand made the originally rising water level rise all the way, and there were five minutes, I was silently calculating the time in my mind while also observing the changes around the surroundings, suddenly, I saw Xiao Jianghai, that is, Xu Lao in Jiang Baichuan's mouth, he was looking intently at the secret door above the golden throne at the moment, where we had high hopes, and now I think back to the time when I first opened it before, the moment when I poured yellow sand was still palpitating.
I hid with Jiang Yuan on my back, for fear that some behemoth would fall from above and hit us, and at the same time, I was also very careful to stand next to the golden seat, the violent shaking can make people lose their balance instantly, and it is not impossible to fall and roll into the black water to die.
Zhang Yang didn't know what method he used, when he returned to my side, the Huangquan staff was already in his hand, he handed over the things to me and said a word of caution, and then I saw Bai Yu standing on the steps under the golden throne with red eyes, this distance is very close, if something happens, I think it is difficult for me to have a chance to dodge.
"Bai Yu, be sober." I yelled at him.
At this time, Bai Yu actually rose a sword from the black water, the scabbard had been removed, the cold light of the sword edge was chilling, and everyone began to condense in front of the golden throne, I looked at the Huangquan staff in my hand, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed in my mind, that is, the sacrificial spirit mentioned by my uncle in the letter.
I have met Hu Ling outside the Netherworld City in Yunnan before, this time, maybe I met the sacrificial spirit, the terrible thing is that this spirit is angry, and the sense of responsibility is quite heavy, must take our lives.
I whispered my thoughts, and Zhang Mosheng was the first to react when he heard it, he said that if it was a sacrifice spirit, then Bai Yu must die, because only when the host died, the resentful spirit attached to his body would dissipate, and we could have a few more chances to escape.
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhang Yang had already aimed his gun at the center of Bai Yu's eyebrows, if I hadn't stopped it quickly, at this moment, Bai Yu would definitely be buried here.
Zhang Yang looked at me angrily, he shook off my hand pressed on the muzzle of the gun, and asked, "Xiao Fang, now is not the time for you to show your machismo, get out of the way." ”
I glanced at Bai Yu, and at this moment, the sword in Bai Yu's hand was also pointing at us, and the black water behind her seemed to have been summoned by her, and the water began to boil, and countless black shiny insect heads emerged from the water.
I had never seen and never thought that I would see such a magical and strange scene in my lifetime, and the spirit, this thing that could not be seen and touched, and no one had ever actually seen it, actually appeared in front of me alive.
I handed Jiang Yuan to Zhang Yang, and then rushed to Bai Yu, the distance between me and her was less than a meter, the blade was less than ten centimeters away from me, and every hair on my body could feel the chill brought by the sword.
I looked at Bai Yu, and she also tilted her head to look at me like a robot, and after being stunned for more than ten seconds, I suddenly realized that she was not looking at me, but at the notebook pinned to my waist.
I remember this Kang Yan gave me, Kang Yan is a relative of the Rama Wu clan, and even a noble sacrificial candidate, this notebook seems ordinary, she once lied to me and said that it was left by my grandfather to the descendants of the Xiao family, but now that I think about it, this thing is very likely to be the same as the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice, they do not belong to the Xiao family, but they are protected by the Xiao family for generations, Kang Yan will choose to hand this thing over to Jiang Yuan at that time, probably knowing that Jiang Yuan will definitely understand the mystery and return it to me, but she did this and chose to go around in circles like this, I'm afraid that there is someone behind this, or something that makes her taboo.
I looked at Kang Yan, she leaned quietly under the golden seat, her body was blood-red, at this moment, I actually had a feeling of heartache, this feeling came suddenly, and it had to be strange.
I began to doubt myself, but I couldn't find a reason to doubt it, Kang Yan died, but there were more and more mysteries left behind by her, and at this time, I suddenly felt a familiar feeling from Bai Yu, and there were tears in her eyes.
I asked myself, does a corpse shed tears? The answer is definitely no, since this is the case, this shows that Bai Yu is not completely controlled by this sacrifice spirit, as long as I can awaken Bai Yu's latent consciousness, through her own efforts, maybe she can defeat the sacrifice spirit and return to her nature.
I took out my notebook and flipped through a page casually, I found that as long as I moved, Bai Yu's attention would follow, and she seemed to be very scared, I turned it night after night, I gave myself three minutes, if I couldn't rescue Bai Yu in three minutes, then I could only let go.
Time passed second by second, Zhang Yang had already taken out a professional second reader, at the same time, Zhang Mosheng and Zhang Hao, Jiang Baichuan and Xu Lao (Xiao Jianghai) together cracked the secret hidden in this secret door above the golden throne, it turned out that this place is indeed a passage, but the top of this passage has some landslides in the crustal changes of thousands of years, some yellow sand has been poured back, there was originally a secret door to block, these yellow sand obediently stayed there and nothing, but after we started the secret door, the yellow sand that had accumulated for many years began to pour back, But there is also a lot of yellow sand, and when it drains, it will be gone, revealing the original channel.
"Two minutes to go." Zhang Yang has prepared everything, just send me.
I flipped through the notebook page by page, and suddenly, Bai Yu took a step back as if she was scared, her feet were hanging on the surface of the black water, I immediately went to look at this page, and as a result, there was nothing on this page, and there was no ink on the blank one.
"What?" I said to myself.
Zhang Yang saw the situation on my side, while saying that there was still a minute and a half, and jumped to my side at the same time, when he saw a blank space on the notebook in his hand, he immediately took out a dagger and cut a hole in the back of my hand, and then I saw a magical scene, after my blood got on the blank page on the notebook, the black handwriting began to appear, but these words are long-lost ciphertext, it takes time to decipher, but at the moment, I don't have time at all.
At the same time as the handwriting appeared, Bai Yu began to go crazy, she covered her head with both hands, as if she was in great pain, she roared loudly, the voice was like a beast that had been used with polarity, and the roar pierced everything.
Zhang Yang quickly snatched my notebook and threw it at Bai Yu, and at the same time pulled me to run out, I didn't have time to react and was pushed into the secret door, he himself followed closely, after pressing the mechanism hub, the secret door began to close, I saw Bai Yu sitting on the steps from the gap of those few seconds, holding my notebook with both hands, her eyes suddenly looked at me, blood and tears, shocking.
"You don't care about her anymore?" I shouted at Zhang Yang.
"She won't die, but if we don't leave, something will definitely happen, look at Jiang Yuan."
Zhang Yang said and pointed to Jiang Yuan, who was leaning on the side, "Within twenty-four hours, he must undergo surgery, otherwise, his brain will have a bacterial infection, and I don't need to explain more later." ”
I looked at him incredulously, "What are you talking about?" He"
Zhang Mosheng took Zhang Hao and Jiang Baichuan and couldn't wait to walk in front, Xu Lao came over and touched Jiang Yuan's pulse, looked at his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The antibacterial ability of BX0100 is weakening, you must hurry up and send him to a big hospital for brain surgery, otherwise, bacteria will invade the brain and cause brain death." ”
I was a little at a loss, but the stone gate was closed, I hesitated, but Zhang Yang had already carried Jiang Yuan on his back and began to walk outside, I was stunned for a moment at the secret door, and suddenly, I seemed to hear someone calling me, this voice was very familiar, it was Bai Yu.
At that moment, my whole body was scared, scared from the inside out, my hands kept shaking, and at the same time, my feet were also weak, I tried a few times before I stood up, held on to the wall and began to walk forward, trotting all the way to finally catch up with Zhang Yang.
We kept walking along the passage, and when we came to the middle part I saw a fork in the road, one side of the road had collapsed, and on the other side there was a lot of yellow sand, and I told them that it must lead to the ground, because the gravel was different from the others, and they were mixed with some white crystals, which meant that the sand was close to a very salty water source or a dry riverbed.
"Let's go this way." I say.
Zhang Mosheng and Zhang Hao have always been at the forefront, after hearing my words, they walked up without hesitation, waist-deep yellow sand hidden unknown dangers, I was a little worried, but I couldn't go, because I had seen that there was some fine yellow sand flowing down in front of this passage.
"Hurry up, quicksand." While shouting, Jiang Yuan also carried Jiang Yuan forward in the sand at a speed of 100 meters.
I didn't care about other people, pinned the Huangquan staff to my waist, and then the whole person tried his best to walk forward in the sand layer deep and shallow, showing that they were professionally trained people, even in this predicament, their ability to act is stronger than ordinary people, but I was miserable, I didn't run far, I couldn't feel my legs, whether my legs were thighs or calves, every inch of muscle was in a state of extreme exhaustion, and as soon as my feet were soft, the whole person fell into the sand.
Zhang Hao turned back from the front, he single-handedly carried me out of the sand, I said thank you in shock, and he turned around and left with an expressionless face, I slowed down and chased back again, more and more sand fell above my head, I knew that time was running out, this place was probably going to collapse completely, I had no direction, I was anxious whether I would be buried alive here at the last moment, a little light broke into my sight, Zhang Yang gave Jiang Yuan to me, and then walked forward by himself, Zhang Hao also followed, I really want to go over, but I really don't have the physical strength anymore, and I can only rely on Zhang Yang to deal with it myself.
I leaned against the wall and stared intently at the place where the light appeared, and finally, the moment we saw the natural light, I felt a sudden darkness in front of my eyes, and my whole body collapsed to the ground, I could feel the presence of the wind, and I could also feel the dry smell of condensation in the air, I was tired, motionless, and lay like this for a few minutes, my eyesight gradually recovered, and vaguely, I saw the long-lost blue, cloudless desert, I felt as if I had experienced a century.
The sound of the car horn not far away made all of us immediately refreshed, Zhang Yang waved his arms to call for stop, it was a green military transport vehicle, two men in military uniforms got out of the car, one was in his forties, the other was in his early twenties, they were transporters in the nearby camp, they broke into here because they got lost, I asked him what kind of place this is, and the man said that this is the ghost snake, the ghost domain of the desert.
