Chapter Twenty-Four: The Pentagram

Zou Zhou and I both quietly watched the light get closer and closer. Obviously, the other party also saw the light of our flashlight, and there is no point in turning it off now.

Slowly saw a figure behind the bright light, and the man shouted: "Lin Min! “

It was Meng Yingjiu's voice, and I called out excitedly: "Meng Yingjiu!" ”

Zou Zhou said: "Your friend? ”

"Yes." At this time, I saw Meng Yingjiu jumping down from the cave, and I hurriedly shouted: "Don't come down, there's a huge bat here!" “

Meng Yingjiu just came over and didn't answer me. Zou Zhou looked at the Bat King and said, "They are 'acquaintances'." “

I looked at the Bat King and saw that it was looking at Meng Yingjiu walking over, but there was no reaction. "How so?"

Zou Zhou leaned over to me and whispered in my ear, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

I looked at him and couldn't think of anything to refute for a moment. When Meng Yingjiu was about to approach, I jumped down and came to him. This action startled the Batking, who looked at us fiercely and let out a shrill scream.

Meng Yingjiu protected me behind him and turned to look at the Bat King. I don't know why, the Bat King didn't even scream.

After the Bat King calmed down, he turned to me and said, "Are you alright?" ”

"Nothing, but do you know it well?"

Meng Yingjiu's expression was calm, and he said indifferently: "No." It was as if he was only facing an inflatable bat doll.

Zou Zhou also jumped down and came to me, but this action angered the Bat King again. It flew down, opened its mouth, and bit at Zou Zhou.

Zou Zhou and I screamed in fright and hid to the side, but Meng Yingjiu jumped up and kicked the Bat King in the face, and the Bat King screamed.

We were dumbfounded, and before we could react, Meng Yingjiu jumped up again and kicked a beautiful roundhouse kick to the other eye of the Batmaster, and it fell backwards.

Meng Yingjiu turned to us and said, "Run, climb that cave!" Then he took me by the hand and ran towards the cave.

We ran to the bottom of the cave as fast as we could, and I asked, "How do you get up?" ”

Zou Zhou said: "Now there are three of us! Climb up!

Meng Yingjiu climbed up to the pile of corpses and said, "You two go up first!" ”

Zou Zhou stepped on Meng Yingjiu's shoulder without hesitation, and I felt so distressed when I saw it! Zou Zhou said to me, "Come up!" We'll let you up first! ”

I looked back at the Bat-King, and he was trying to get up, but his body was too big to control his balance, so he was struggling there.

Meng Yingjiu squatted at the bottom, it was too hard, we had to climb up quickly to be free. I held back the distress, stepped on them, and climbed up.

After standing on Zou Zhou's shoulder, Meng Yingjiu slowly stood up, and then Zou Zhou stood up again. Soon, I had reached the edge of the hole, and I immediately climbed out, then took off my coat and laid it down for Zou Zhou. He grabbed his clothes and climbed up, but it was so heavy that I was almost pulled down by him, so I crawled on the ground and steady.

After Zou Zhou climbed up, he also immediately took off his clothes and tied the sleeves of the two clothes together. At this time, the Bat King was about to stand up, and I called out anxiously: "Hurry up! ”

The Bat King has already stood up, and once he has kept his balance, he will fly towards us!

I shouted worriedly: "Meng Yingjiu! ”

In an instant, the Bat King flew to the edge of the cave, and Zou Zhou hit the bat with his bundled clothes, hitting it in the face, and it hid to the side.

Taking advantage of this time, Meng Yingjiu took out a knife, jumped up at once, and inserted it into the Bat King's wings. The Bat King tilted and fell, but one wing clung to the edge of the hole.

Zou Zhou stomped on the bat king's wings and claws at the entrance of the cave, and at the same time took his clothes and hit the bat king. After the Bat King fell, Meng Yingjiu got the knife inserted in its wings again, vigorously dug out a piece of skin on its wings, and then continued to stab at its wings.

The Bat King suffered a great deal of pain, and his claws loosened and he fell to the ground completely. I said, "Meng Yingjiu! Come on! ”

Zou Zhou immediately put down his clothes and gave them to Meng Yingjiu, and I also went up to pull the clothes. After Meng Yingjiu grabbed it, he quickly climbed up.

We didn't care if the Bat King was alive or dead, so we immediately turned around and ran into the cave. Behind me came the mournful cry of the Bat King, and my heart trembled when I heard it.

After about 100 meters, a stone door appeared at the end of the cave. When we entered the stone gate, there was a stone staircase that went up. Although I didn't make much effort in the big battle just now, I have been scared all the time, and I have run in one breath for so long, and I no longer have the strength. When I saw such a high stone staircase, I was deflated at once. I grabbed Meng Yingjiu and said, "No more!" Take a break, I really can't run! ”

Meng Yingjiu stopped, my body was already dirty, and I didn't want to take care of my image anymore, so I collapsed directly on the stone stairs to rest.

Zou Zhou also sat on the stone stairs panting heavily, I looked at Meng Yingjiu and said, "Are you okay?" "His right hand was covered with blood, and my hands were also stained with blood, and the strong smell of blood made me a little nauseous.

Thinking that this blood should be the Bat King's, in fact, thinking about the Bat King is also quite pitiful, his sweet dream was woken up, and then he was so seriously injured. However, it is it that wants to eat us first, and we can't be blamed.

Meng Yingjiu replied, "It's okay." ”

I moved to the side, made room for him, and said, "Sit down and rest!" ”

He looked at me and sat down next to me, but his body was still straight.

Zou Zhou's breath gradually calmed down and said, "Why do I think that the Bat King is targeting me?" Why do you jump down and it doesn't bite you? ”

I said, "I didn't stab it in the eye." ”

Zou Zhou looked at Meng Yingjiu and said, "But why doesn't it bite you?" ”

I'd love to know the answer, after all, what we thought was too scary.

Meng Yingjiu turned his head to look at Zou Zhou and said, "It doesn't dare." ”

Looking at his cold eyes, I remembered his amazing skills when he dealt with Batlord just now, which was simply the action in the movie. Meng Yingjiu actually knows kung fu, and it doesn't seem to be a trick.

Hearing such an answer, I was used to it, but Zou Zhou, a little ghost with such a big suspicion, didn't ask any questions. It made me anxious, so I said, "Zou Zhou and I were both caught here by a pervert to feed the bats, have you ever met that pervert?" ”

Meng Yingjiu frowned slightly and said, "Perverted? Since we separated, I've been looking for you and haven't met anyone. ”

I wanted to continue to ask him, but he looked at Zou Zhou and said, "He is Zou Zhou?" ”

I nodded and said, "yes." ”

Zou Zhou asked, "You have been alone since you separated from her?" He still seemed skeptical.

Meng Yingjiu said: "Yes." ”

Zou Zhou continued to ask: "Why are you so lucky?" Perverts didn't attack you? ”

Meng Yingjiu didn't answer him, but stood up and said, "Let's go, we have to get out of here quickly." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull me up, and Zou Zhou also stood up. Meng Yingjiu walked in the front, then me, and finally Zou Zhou.

We followed Meng Yingjiu on the stone stairs, I don't want to worry about what he said 'don't dare', anyway, looking at him like this, no matter how I ask, he won't explain it to me clearly, I just want to get out of this ghost place and return to the normal world outside.

After about ten minutes of climbing, we finally reached the top of the stone staircase. It's the bottom of a circular cave, and the place where we came out was in the middle of the cave.

The cave wasn't very big, about the size of a basketball court, but it was so deep that we couldn't see the roof of the cave from below.

When I looked closely, I realized that the cave was originally made of stones. There are wooden stairs on the stone walls that spin up the cave.

The surface of the wood has rotted and cracked, and it must have been repaired a long time ago. Is this really an ancient tomb? Ancient people did not have modern high technology, how did they build such a large building?

I said, "What the hell is this place?" By the way, Meng Yingjiu, did you just come down from here? "Yes." Meng Yingjiu walked to the wooden ladder and continued: "I just walked down these wooden ladders, although these woods have been anti-corrosion and reinforced, but now they are very fragile, and there are no handrails, you follow me carefully, don't make a mistake." “

I cautiously stepped on the wooden ladder that Meng Yingjiu had stepped on and said, "Then what is it up here?" “

Meng Yingjiu said: "There is a huge square above us, and the square is surrounded by three walls. In the center of the square is a tall tower and a huge humanoid statue. Such a place can only be used for sacrifices. The staircase we are taking now leads to the inside of the tower. I came down when I heard movement from above. ”

I was making up the scene described by Meng Yingjiu, and Zou Zhou asked, "Is there only one entrance and exit here?"

Meng Yingjiu said: "At least I haven't found another way yet. ”

I said, "If there was only one entrance, wouldn't the pervert also go here." ”

Zou Zhou said: "Now that there are many of us, there is no need to be afraid of him." It would be better to meet him and ask him to give us back our things. ”

"Yes! My wallet, and my papers, are in it! It's too much trouble for these things to drop! ”

Meng Yingjiu seems to have been avoiding the topic of perversion, could it be that Zou Zhou really guessed correctly. They really want to trap us temporarily, but that Bat King doesn't look like it's easy to control! If we are unlucky enough to be eaten by it, isn't it just that we think we are unlucky? It's too risky for them to do so. What kind of secret outweighs such a risk?

We've climbed like this ten times, and we haven't reached the top yet, how deep is this cave? And walking like this is more tiring than walking up the stairs usually, because you have to be careful at all times, and if you take a wrong step, you may fall, so you can't relax for a moment. Our speed is getting slower and slower, and I feel that I am almost at the limit of my physical strength, I asked Meng Yingjiu; "How far is it up there?"

Meng Yingjiu said: "We are halfway there,"

I sighed, "It's only halfway? Take a break, I can't crawl. Then he rested against the stone wall.

At this time, I saw that there seemed to be something carved into the stone I was leaning on, and the stones we saw along the way were polished and smooth. So I went up to take a closer look, and I was surprised to find that there was a five-pointed star engraved on it!

I exclaimed, "There's a five-pointed star here!" ”

The two of them leaned over when they heard my cry. I said, "This five-pointed star is too modern!" In ancient times, people would draw pentagrams? Or is it a sign from someone else who came here later? ”

Meng Yingjiu opened his mouth and said: "The Xia Dynasty has already appeared in the pentagonal pattern, and this pentagonal carving should have been engraved here for a long time. ”

I asked, "How long?" “

Zou Zhou interjected: "Let me take a closer look." As he spoke, he stepped on the wooden ladder where I was standing, and we all forgot that we were not standing on an ordinary wooden ladder, but a very fragile wooden ladder in disrepair.

So, when Zou Zhou stepped on it, I only heard a click, and the wooden ladder under my feet was broken, and before I could scream, my feet suddenly emptied, and Zou Zhou and I both fell.
