Chapter 25: The Snake Cave I
Things have settled down for the time being, but they haven't really been resolved, although Li Jiu didn't want our lives, it was just because he needed us now, and when he didn't need it, he would kill us without hesitation like just now, and he had to watch out for him.
"Lao Luo, are you better? You scared the hell out of me just now! The fat man asked.
"I don't know what happened just now, I suddenly fainted, slept for a while, and got better. Zi Jin, which hell we are in now, I look a little familiar! "I looked at my surroundings and the spinning knife wheel, as if I had seen it somewhere, but now I was dizzy and couldn't remember.
"Lao Luo, you forgot. This is the fourth level of the diary, the Hell of Slaughter. Wang Zijin reminded.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "What a coincidence! "The diary writes that the fourth layer of hell will be broken, and we are now on the fourth layer, this is the old man and they designed, or is it arranged by God in the dark, to ask us juniors to solve the grievances of the previous generation, and this situation is too similar. Wang Jingxing met a strange group of eight, and we met Li Jiu's gang of bandits, who had a lot of fate.
"Old Luo, what should we do now, do we really want to take them to the underworld?" The fat man asked.
"Now our lives are in Li Jiu's hands, what we have to do is how to save our lives." I analyze the current situation.
"Brother Luo, have you discussed it, it's not too early, it's time to hit the road!" Li Jiu urged impatiently.
"Let's go, in the tomb, they don't know anything, they have to die if they enter, and in the end, it's a big deal to fight and die!" I said cruelly, even death will not make it easy for them.
Standing on the layers of knives, I can still feel the sharpness of the knife, as if it will be cut into strips of meat as soon as I get close, "What is this knife made of, and it is still so sharp after so many years?" I asked.
"According to the ability of the Western Han Dynasty, it should be fine iron, but even now, I dare not guarantee that a piece of iron will not be corroded for thousands of years. And looking at the color of this knife, gold and silver may have been added, and it was an alloy, and I didn't think that the ancients at that time had thought of mixing metals and using them. Wang Zijin explained.
"Is there a way to pass such a sharp knife? What if it gets cut? The fat man asked scaredly.
"Look at the broken bones all over the ground, it should have been hacked to death here before, I estimate that your amount is also a hundred catties of human flesh stuffing!" I looked at the fat man from the head to the end, calculating how much it weighed.
"You dead mule, you make the stuffing, you have to make the filling, and the dumplings stuffed with mules haven't been eaten yet!" The fat man and I lifted our strength, completely ignoring the dozen pairs of eyes behind us, and this was what we wanted, so that Nine thought that we could hold it firmly in order to buy more time.
"Zi Jin, is there a way to pass this sword array? Or let them stop? "I cut to the chase.
"It's impossible to stop them spinning, and if I'm not mistaken, their mechanism drives should be those gears in the Dark River, and they won't stop unless you can get the River to stop." Wang Zijin explained, "But it's still easy to dodge, after all, this knife array is dead, it has a certain law, and it's easy to pass." Follow me, don't go wrong. ”
Seeing us act, Li Jiu immediately followed, ignoring him, and watched Wang Zijin's pace intently. Wang Zijin's steps are very weird, to be precise, like a drunk drunk, walking unsteadily, and will fall down at any time, but there is a rule in the faint way, and he can always avoid the danger of chopping dangerously and dangerously, walking between the knife and the axe. Every time the knife and axe grazed my scalp and passed my back, my heart would beat less, and sooner or later I would be scared to death.
It wasn't until he was about to walk through that the fat man couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of step is this, why is it so strange!" ”
"It's a step through the wall." Wang Zijin said.
"Walking through the wall, I haven't heard of it, I've only seen the Lost Steps." The fat man said confusedly.
"In ancient times, there were two major families famous for their organs, namely the domineering Gongshu Gongshu family and the defensive mechanism Shu Mo family, the Gongyi family's organ skills were mainly based on conquering cities and conquering cities, and the Mo family was the hostility of the public losers, mainly defense. The tricks of these two families have been fighting for thousands of years, and if you make a new move, I will immediately break it, and no one will win or lose. Wang Zijin introduced the history.
"So what does this have to do with the wall step?" The fat man still hasn't figured it out.
"Fatty, you are stupid, since they are experts in tricks, the mechanism in the tomb must also be related to them." I scolded.
"Well, that's right, these two families are good at many tricks, attacking the city and defending against the enemy, opening the door to prevent theft, including the tomb to prevent thieves. Because it is two big families, there are two styles of anti-thief techniques in the tomb, like this kind of mechanism that puts the mechanism on the bright side is the domineering mechanism technique, even if you can see it, but you can only hide, you can't destroy it, and the domineering is vividly embodied; But the biggest headache in the tomb is the defense mechanism, you don't know where they hide the mechanism, it's okay not to touch it, but if you run into it, it will be a dilemma of nine deaths. I heard that the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was built by the head of the public loser and the head of the Mo family, and there were many organs inside, and the people who entered it were dead. Wang Zijin carefully dodged the knife and axe and said, "As for this wall-piercing step, it shuttles freely in the sword mountain and fire wall in the tomb, as if it is through the wall, which is used by the Mo family to crack the domineering mechanism." Even if there are thousands of changes in each family's mechanism technique, it will not deviate from its origin, and its essence will not become, no matter how complex the mechanism is, as long as it is cracked in essence, there will be no difficulty. ”
"So which sect are you? How is it so familiar? The fat man asked.
"I'm not a sect, I'm not talented, but I have a need, so I've read all the books on mechanics." Wang Zijin turned her head and smiled as if showing off.
Wang Zijin smiled like a flower, and the fat man was stunned, but his face was full of anxiety.
"Get out of the way!" I roared angrily, rushed up, and pushed Wang Zijin out, the sharp axe grazed Wang Zijin's scalp and roared, leaving a strand of black hair, and my hand was also cut bloodied, Wang Zijin sat on the ground for a long time and didn't react, if this axe was cut, Wang Zijin would have to be killed now.
"What are you thinking, I don't know the saddest thing is capsizing in the gutter!" I scolded angrily, and I didn't know what I was angry about.
Wang Zijin was silent and didn't speak, she must have been frightened just now, but fortunately it was the last layer, we came out, and Li Jiu and his gang were not lucky. There are a lot of them, they can't walk through walls, and it's good to follow us closely, but it's hard to say if they walk slowly. Walking in the last few couldn't keep up with the pace, missed the best time to dodge the knife and axe, the knife and axe went back and forth, the blood of the people was eight pieces, the internal organs in the stomach, the intestines were shattered to the ground, the eyeballs were off the head, and they rolled out with a gurgling, and a pile of broken corpses made people sick. The most amazing thing is one person, who has already walked out of the knife formation, but he doesn't know that his clothes are stuck in the gears and pulled in alive.
"Don't, no" The man danced with his hands, trying to stop the sharp sword that came from the cross, but his head was cut off in an instant, the corpse fell to the ground and twitched, his head rolled twice on the ground, the man looked at his corpse, rolled his eyes and said "No" The blood in his neck lost its block, and shot everyone in the face like a fountain.
Seeing the tragic death of his subordinates, Li Jiu didn't even blink his eyes, and said coldly, "Brother Luo, let's go to the next hole!" ”
Li Jiu doesn't matter what I want, the more people they die, the more helpful it will help me. The faint light of the fire shone on the dark stone walls, illuminating the vivid patterns, and the murals in each corridor were a description of the next hell, as the diary suggested.
Wang Zijin looked at the mural carefully, and the narrator, "There are countless poisonous snakes painted on it, not the kind we encountered, the snakes here only have one head, but looking at their appearance, they are convinced, and they are very frightened." ”
"Be careful, the hallways are starting to tilt, we're going to the next hell." I remind, be prepared.
The hallway turned into a slide as the diary had written, and we slid into a world of total darkness, unlike the other hells, where there was no firelight, and I tried to get up and walk a little farther, and the ground was no different except that it was a little softer. There was a chaotic sound behind him, it was Li Jiu and they came down.
"Lao Luo, what's down there, it's so soft, it's cool to the touch, it's so comfortable!" The fat man said and turned on the flashlight, "Oops, my mother! It's snake skin, it's all snake skin! The fat man hurriedly threw the snakeskin out of his hand.
Within the range of the flashlight beam are snakeskins. A thick layer of piles. It has to be four or five centimeters thick, and there must be so many snakes here, have we fallen into a snake hole? Snakes are cold-blooded animals, every time they grow up, they have to shed a layer of snake skin, snake skin can be used in medicine, it is a good thing, there are so many snake skins here that can be sold for a lot of money, but I always feel that it is not smooth.
I picked up a snake skin, and saw that the scales of this snake skin were as black as black jade in the light, and it was extremely smooth, except that there were four forks at seven inches, forming four heads, this snake was
"Run, run!" After Wang Zijin finished shouting, he rushed forward with a flashlight.
This black light is blinding, what does this woman run, it doesn't matter, follow first.
"What's the matter, what's running blind?" I caught up and asked.
"Lao Luo, I remembered, I remembered the origin of the three-headed ghost snake!" Wang Zijin panicked and said, "That's a Gu snake, a kind of witchcraft in ancient times, putting countless snakes in a dark confined space, not giving the snake food, in order to survive, the snakes will fight each other and eat the same kind, until there is only one left, such a snake is extremely poisonous." But there are even more venomous, hundreds of poisonous snakes devouring each other may mutate into a two-headed snake, hundreds of two-headed snakes devouring and mutating into a three-headed snake, and so on, and finally mutate into a nine-headed demon snake with its own wisdom! ”
What you mean is that "hiss" is filled with the sound of snakes breathing.
"Snakes, boss, they're all snakes!" Li Jiu was confused.
This is really the snake cave, tens of thousands of snakes mutate here, three-headed ghost snakes, four-headed demon snakes, six-headed charming snakes, and eight-headed snake snakes, we are surrounded by snakes.
