Chapter 38: Decoupling
The previous time, Yan Xing and the others pretended to go down to the cave, but this time, they really wanted to go in, of course, this time there was naturally no need to leave anyone on it, and everyone went down the cave in order.
The first is Shi Chong, the second is Yan Xing, the third is Xiao Ge, the fourth is Zhao Zhu, and the fifth is Li Liangjian.
There are many gaps and sharp stones on the stone wall, but fortunately, Zhao Zhu has prepared silk gloves, which are originally equipped by Old Man Han, and they are very convenient to use.
It's just that the further down he goes, the more turbid the air becomes, and his lungs begin to have a burning sensation, Zhao Zhu knows that at this time, he can only grit his teeth and endure it, he has gone down so much, and he is not the last person, even if he wants to go up, it is impossible.
Finally, Yan Xing's voice came from below:
"Be careful above, get stuck in the position first, don't slide down, there is a cross-cut entrance here, there are traces of artificial chisel, it should lead to the ancient tomb, wait for the stone to rush in first."
Zhao Zhu leaned his back against the stone wall on one side, and bent his legs against the stone wall in front of him, letting the whole person stay in the stone wall, about five minutes later, Shi Chong, Yan Xing and Xiao Ge had already drilled into the hole on the cave wall, and Zhao Zhu also drilled in.
Where are the traces of artificial excavation?
It is because of this cross-cut stone cave, its four walls are very smooth, and when the body touches it, there is no friction and sharpness on the previous stone wall.
This hole is only half a meter high, so everyone is crawling forward in it, and it has been climbing for nearly half an hour, just when Zhao Zhudu began to feel a little unbearable, Shi Chong's voice came from in front:
"The front is empty, Brother Xing, hand over a fireworks stick."
Shi Chong's backpack was behind him, and he couldn't turn around to rummage through the bag, so he had to rely on Yan Xing behind him to get the fireworks stick.
"Give."
Yan Xing handed the fireworks stick to Shi Chong, Shi Chong pulled it away and threw it down, the people behind only saw the fire flashing, and only Shi Chong in front could see the truth, after a while, Shi Chong took a deep breath and shouted:
"Prepare the rope, there is an underground cavern in front of you, which looks like it must be fifty meters deep."
Xiao Ge said at this time: "Let's see if there are any gaps around to climb, since this stone cave is thought to be pierced, then it is impossible for the craftsman who built this place to fly up." ”
Shi Chong has always been obedient to Xiao Ge's words, and immediately he was not in a hurry to put the rope down, but leaned half of his body out of the stone cave, so when he spoke again, it would inevitably make Zhao Zhu and the others inside feel a little hollow.
"There is an iron chain nailed to the stone wall outside, but this iron chain has long been rusted and unsightly, and four hundred years have passed, and it is a bit unsafe to rely on it again."
"Forget it, let's use our ropes." Xiao Ge took the rope out of his bag, "One of mine is not enough, the back one, give another one." ”
Zhao Zhu also handed over a rope on his body, Xiao Ge's fingers waved between the two ropes, and the two rings were knocked out by him and buckled together, and at the same time directly threw Shi Chong on the top of Yan Xing's head, and shouted at the same time:
"Tie it to the place where the chain is fastened."
Shi Chong didn't speak, and immediately went to run errands, and soon he shouted:
"I'll go down first, and you'll come one by one."
Shi Chong first tied a rope around his waist, and then slowly descended along a rope in the forest, about five minutes later, Shi Chong waved the rope, and the rope was also seen shaking on it, which meant that he landed safely, and the next person continued.
Yan Xing also climbed out, although he was a Taoist priest, he looked a little weak, but he should have practiced Taoist exercises, there was a breath of qi hidden in his bones, and he was also very steady when he went down the rope, and after a while, the rope was shaken up by Yang again, and Xiao Ge also began to go down, his speed was faster than the previous two people, only about two minutes, and the rope was shaken again.
Finally it was Zhao Zhu's turn, Zhao Zhu was quite calm, and the speed was quite fast, the stone wall here was relatively slippery, and he couldn't borrow strength at all, so he could only rely on the friction between his hands and the rope to control the speed of falling, anyway, he was wearing silk gloves, and he didn't have to worry about injury to his palm, however, just when Zhao Zhu was halfway down, a wind suddenly blew in the cave, this is not an ordinary person, this is a yin wind!
Zhao Zhu didn't dare to hesitate, let go of his hands, and the whole person slid down at the fastest speed, and then clamped the rope with his arms and legs before landing to offset the potential energy on his body, but when he landed, he still fell to the ground, and a hand reached over and lifted Zhao Zhu up, this person is Yan Xing.
"Shhhh Yan Xing reminded very seriously.
On the other side, Xiao Ge and Shi Chong stood together, looking forward with a solemn expression, and the rope was still shaking, it should be Li Liangjian coming down.
Zhao Zhu got up and stood up, looking at the usual front, this time, he was also a little stunned, under the cave, there was a wide stone road, and less than 100 meters away from the place where everyone gathered, there was a group of tall horses wearing stubborn knights, and on each knight's helmet, there was something that stood up like a lightning rod.
The knights, not stationary, but moving, rode their horses back and forth there repeatedly, first moving in one direction, then turning, charging in the opposite direction, and every time they charged, a terrifying wind blew here, like a battle array rush drill.
Li Liangjian also came down, he was the best in the eyes of everyone, a pair of eyes flashed in the cave, and then, Zhao Zhu saw blood flowing from the corners of Li Liangjian's eyes, and the whole person leaned against the wall as if he was injured.
Yan Xing walked up to Li Liang's fitness side and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"Like the villages we met before, they didn't exist, but we could see them." Li Liangjian said, "There should be a clever warlock here. ”
"Can you get through?"
"It's definitely much more difficult than that village, those Eight Banners soldiers must have been experienced in a hundred battles before they were alive, and the kind of feeling and consciousness destructive power they created, I myself have no absolute certainty that I can stop it."
"We can't wait any longer, since the group leader didn't prompt us to complete the side quest, it should mean that this place is still some distance away from the gate of the real cemetery, and we don't have much time to delay." Yan Xing made up his mind, "I'll walk in the middle with the bell, you guys will surround me, I'll calm our minds with the sound of the bell, from there, walk over!" ”
This is also a way out of the way, just like that, Yan Xing kept chanting the spell and shook the bell and walked forward, Xiao Ge. Shi Chong, along with Li Liangjian and Zhao Zhu, marched together beside him.
Zhao Zhu looked at the group of Eight Banners soldiers who were getting closer and closer to him as he walked, this time, the Eight Banners soldiers made a roundabout and started a charge again, the posture of the war horse whistling and opening the bow and arrow was so lifelike, and it was really no different, but when they rushed over, there was no substantial contact, like a gust of wind blowing over, blowing people's faces painfully, Zhao Zhu staggered, his body leaned back, at this time, a hand grabbed him and lifted him up.
However, when Zhao Zhu was caught by this hand, he was stunned again, where was he in a cave, it turned out to be in a battlefield, and the one who had just pulled himself up was a man wearing Manchu standard armor, he roared at himself, and then continued to wave his knife and join the battle group.
Zhao Zhu looked around, there were battlefields in all directions, and there were both sides fighting everywhere, people turned on their backs, and flesh and blood were boiling......
"Am I the second to enter the palace?" Zhao Zhu himself was also a little speechless, once in that village before, and again in the cave this time.
However, this time, Zhao Zhu suddenly felt that the jade hairpin tattoo on his left shoulder was hot, like a soldering iron, Zhao Zhu immediately let out a miserable scream, the whole person trembled suddenly, his eyes were stunned, and he found that he was still standing in place, and Yan Xing was nearly ten meters away from him.
As if sensing the strangeness of Zhao Zhu behind him, Yan Xing turned his head suddenly, with a touch of surprise in his eyes, and then said in a low voice:
"The soul primer is unhooked, let's go!"
