Chapter 546: Into the Hinterland
The brothers followed the spirit rune and walked back for about a few hundred meters, and the spirit rune suddenly stopped, and when they were puzzled, they found that Zhou Yuefeng's face showed a relaxed expression, he looked at a stone-like thing above his head and said, "So it's here!" ”
Everyone didn't understand what was going on, and they also looked up at the stone, and the horse monkey said, "Brother Feng, what's wrong with this stone?" Bi Fang said, "Hey, don't say it, this stone doesn't seem to be very similar to the roof of the cave in other places." The stone was not very high, and he touched it with his hand as he spoke.
It didn't matter if he touched it, the stone that seemed to be indestructible was actually pushed by him, and everyone immediately surrounded them when they saw it, knowing that this might be their way of escape. At this time, Zhou Yuefeng looked back and saw that the spirit rune had burned out, he knew that it was right here, the length of the spirit rune burning time was not determined by the paper, but the degree to which the task was completed, and the spirit rune burned out, which proved that its task had been completed.
Zhou Yuefeng pointed to the stone and said, "This is here, this is the exit of this secret passage!" Then he went under the stone, and pushed it up with his hand, and at once the stone moved away a crack, and the sun shone through the crack, and the people could not open their eyes.
Only then did everyone realize that they had been tossing and turning in this secret passage all day. Then Zhou Yuefeng jumped up, stepped on the stones on both sides with his two feet, pushed the stone hard with both hands, and continued to exert force, only to hear the sound of the stone rubbing, the whole big stone was pushed aside, and the strong sunlight shone in, making them feel the hope of life while not opening their eyes.
After getting used to it a little, Zhou Yuefeng said, "Brothers are waiting below, I'll go up and have a look first." After saying that, he pushed up hard, and his whole body crawled out of the secret passage, and his arms supported the sides of the hole, and he jumped up with all his might, and he climbed up at once.
After going up, Zhou Yuefeng did not immediately let the brothers come up, but looked at the surrounding situation, then closed his eyes and called up the human skin map in his head, and carefully overlapped the two to see if he could find the corresponding location on the map, and if he could find it, he would be able to judge whether their current location was safe through the map.
Zhou Yuefeng used the form of a ring to continuously narrow the search range from the outside to the inside to locate their location, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find their location on the map, at this time Zhou Yuefeng was a little anxious, he thought: "Could it be that we have reached the hinterland of this Xianti Mountain, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”
At this time, the horse monkey showed a head and looked out, and asked as he looked, "Brother Feng, what's the matter?" Did you find anything? We're coming out! ”
Zhou Yuefeng's thoughts were interrupted by him, and he said casually: "Don't make noise, hurry back and squint, I will call you when I decide." Before he finished speaking, suddenly the horse monkey shouted: "Brother Feng, be careful, hook snake!" Zhou Yuefeng had already sensed a strong wind blowing from behind him, and before he had time to think, he directly rushed towards the entrance of the cave and pounced on the horse monkey.
Then the two of them rolled back into the secret passage, and at this time, the hooked snake had already come to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, but its body was too big to get in, and the light inside was extremely dim, and it didn't see anything for a long time.
The horse monkey let out a sigh: "Damn, there's a hooked snake on it, it's really fucking big, if we hadn't reflected it in time, I'm afraid it would have become snake dung by this time." Before he had finished speaking, the hooked snake burrowed its tail into it, as if it had not stopped biting them.
The tail of this hooked snake has a big hook like a barb, if it is hooked, it must be the intestines can be pulled out, everyone saw that they quickly ran towards the secret passage, fortunately this secret passage is long enough, the hooked snake tried several times without success, and its size is too big, so it left after a while.
Seeing the sunlight shining in again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the horse monkey said with palpitations: "Brother Feng, will that thing drill into it again?" Zhou Yuefeng shook his head: "Absolutely not." ”
Although Bi Fang has practiced a little witchcraft, but he has probably lived a life of abduction and abduction for so many years, and he is not good at witchcraft, this scene has already scared him, he trembled and said: "I don't believe it, why are you so sure that it is gone?" What if it's still hiding around, and when we show up, we can intercept and kill it directly? ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "These hooked snakes all appear in a specific place at a specific time, and I can easily avoid them. When he said this, Zhou Yuefeng didn't mention anything about the human skin map, so everyone didn't believe his words a little. Bi Fang said: "How is it possible, you are also the first time you have seen hooked snakes, how do you know which direction they will be in at what time?" ”
Although the blue-eyed Ah Da was also skeptical of what Zhou Yuefeng said, but they had already cooperated last time, he knew that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Yuefeng said, so he said: "Brother, do you have any secret method?" If there's nothing to hide, tell the brothers that everyone can avoid this thing and reduce casualties. ”
Zhou Yuefeng thought for a while and said, "There is no secret method, it's just a feeling." This sentence made everyone even more disbelieving him. Zhou Yuefeng looked at them and said, "When I went up just now, I had already written down the geographical location of this place, and during this time period, there will be hooked snakes passing through here, and it will be safe here after about two hours." ”
Although he had deduced it from the map, the brothers did not know it, so they did not believe what he said. Xiao Duan said: "Young Master Feng, although you are the boss and more experienced than us, but you also know that there are some things that cannot be determined by feeling, especially this life-and-death matter, once you make a mistake, the brothers will all die, our life is small, but whether we can help you complete the task is a big matter!" ”
What he said was obviously not believing Zhou Yuefeng, but Zhou Yuefeng couldn't directly conclude that Xiao Duan was indeed the traitor among them, he had suspected Dongzi and Cui Fatzi, and in the end they all proved wrong, and Xiao Duan never followed them out, this is the first time, if it is Xiao Duan, it is not easy to explain the first few times, Zhou Yuefeng After some ideological struggle, he still feels that he thinks too much, and Xiao Duan should have no problem.
He said: "The lives of my brothers are the most important thing, but please believe me, I can really sense when and where the hooked snake will appear, and I can't say why I can't say more." Ma Monkey smiled: "Brother Feng, of course I believe you, after so many years, what you said has not been realized, I will do what you say." ”
Cui Fatzi also said: "I also believe that I have seen Brother Feng's strength, and I don't believe who he believes at this critical moment." When Xiao Duan saw this situation, he immediately took the remaining two junior brothers and said, "We naturally also believe in Young Master Feng, but Young Master Feng is the first to look forward." ”
Qingyan Ah Da has cooperated with Zhou Yuefeng a long time ago, and he said: "Brother Yuefeng, I believe that I and the third two are also at the disposal of the dispatch." At this time, Bi Fang and Qin Yalong had nothing to say, and now that their opinions are unified, Zhou Yuefeng said: "Okay, what we have to do now is to rest in place, Yalong, distribute the dry food to the brothers, so that everyone can eat and drink, let's go up in two hours, this is already the hinterland of this Xianti Mountain, we go up and go directly to the main tomb, and it will inevitably be physically exhausted at that time." ”
Qin Yalong nodded, and then divided a part of the dry food in the equipment and distributed it to everyone, Zhou Yuefeng saw that Qin Yalong's care of equipment was basically the same as Dongzi's, and he was also a good hand, so his heart was much more steady. Two hours passed quickly, and Zhou Yuefeng saw that his brothers were asleep, and he could see that they were sleeping very deeply, and they should be too tired.
But they must also be woken up, because if this opportunity is lost, they will have to wait another twelve hours, and it will be too much delay. Zhou Yuefeng hurriedly called them up one by one and said: "Brothers, wake up, let's get up and climb up, we only have two hours, and there will be hooked snakes passing by after two hours, so everyone as soon as possible!" ”
Everyone didn't know if they heard it clearly in their sleep, anyway, when Zhou Yuefeng called him like this, they all climbed up one by one, and then crawled out of the secret passage one by one. As soon as they came out, they found that it was already night, and Zhou Yuefeng said: "Everyone follow me, don't fall behind." ”
He didn't need to remind everyone that if he fell behind at this time, he would die by himself, so he followed one closely and walked forward. Zhou Yuefeng had already located their location at this time, and after the guidance of the map in his mind, he was surprised to find that they had now come to this most critical place.
While walking forward, Zhou Yuefeng thought to himself: "It seems that this secret passage was not dug out to escape when the corpse cave was built, it is very likely that the craftsmen at that time opened up a passage for themselves when they built the ancient tomb, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by the overseer a long time ago, so they dug out the corpse hole at the end of the secret passage they dug through, trapped them all inside, and hired people to release ghost flies to deal with them." ”
At this time, Bi Fang quietly walked up to Zhou Yuefeng and said, "Young Master Feng, I see that the secret passage we came in did not start digging from the corpse cave, but the escape secret passage that these craftsmen dug for themselves, but it was blocked at the end. These words gave Zhou Yuefeng a new understanding of Bi Fang's IQ, and thought: "This kid is not bad, not so stupid." ”
So he responded: "Yes, we completely got the wrong direction before, but this secret passage is still extending inside, and it is likely that there are secrets that we haven't discovered." Zhou Yuefeng thought to himself: "These overseers are really too much, they are like this to deal with the workers, it seems that this ancient tomb must be more dangerous, maybe these ghost flies will be put in it, it seems that this trip is indeed more dangerous than the previous ones." ”
