Chapter 35: The Nine-Story Building
The second triangular gold nugget obtained was taken by Li Yu in his hand, and then spliced together with the first triangular gold nugget, suddenly emitting a slight resounding sound, in the middle of the heart, there was a small dot concave, which did not look very big, but it was very obvious. It seems that there are more triangular nuggets like this than the two that we have now.
The three of us exchanged glances, not knowing what danger lay ahead, so we walked straight ahead of the exit, and it wasn't long before we reached another stone chamber not far away.
Strangely, the stone chamber is completely semi-enclosed, and the entire ground is in the shape of a round pot, which is semi-concave. On each of the four walls hangs a dragon head stone carving. Standing on the sidelines, we couldn't help but feel a little bad feeling.
Look!
At this moment, the fat man exclaimed in surprise, and his eyes were staring directly at the wall on his side. I saw a peak drawn on it, marked with many red dots on top of the peak, and some incomprehensible character marks to annotate. There is also a tall tower next to it, with a total of nine floors. It looked a little subtle, Li Yu, who was leaning on my side, walked straight forward, unconsciously touched his hand towards the wall, and said in a solemn tone: "This is the legendary nine-story building!" ”。
"Nine-story building?" I asked rhetorically, recalling in my mind whether I had heard the information about the Nine Stories Building, and after a few minutes, I still had no clue, and I couldn't help but look at Li Yu.
Seeing the puzzled gazes of me and the fat man, Li Yu said while looking around, and slowly continued: "The Nine-Story Building is a kind of palace design designed by ancient builders to stop someone from advancing. According to ancient records, the nine-story building has a total of nine floors. Its nine floors are designed according to the nine characteristics of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, fire, thunder and lightning. It can be said that every floor is a life and a death sentence, and if I didn't guess, we might be in the first floor of the nine-story building, the metal."
I didn't expect the nine-story building to have such a history. I couldn't help but move my eyes to the stone wall again, just a few seconds after looking over, I heard a fat man's shout, and then before I could react, a big hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder, "Ah" There is nothing to grasp around, the center of gravity of the body fell directly down, grabbing my fat man and I rolled towards the concave ground next to me. Li Yu saw the situation and grabbed me, but I and the fat man weighed too much, and rolled down with Li Yu.
Lying on the ground, my whole body was very sore, I slowly stood up and turned my gaze directly to the fat man, "Fat man, what happened to you just now?" ”。
Seeing that I blamed him, the fat man looked a little cowardly, and did not speak, pointing behind me. I fixed my eyes, but I really didn't notice that there was something like a green shell on the recess of the ground, the size of a fingernail, and it looked a little like a shrunken snail.
I silently counted it, and there were quite a few, and on its side, there were at least hundreds. The fat man walked over, and couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Xiao Ke, you should know that the fat man is a person who loves to learn." I was curious about what this was just now, but I didn't expect to walk by, so I accidentally fell down, I'm sorry! ”。
Have you committed less? I thought to myself, out of curiosity, I walked over to one of them, and gently touched it with my hand, and the seemingly hard shell was half-concave, and a head slightly larger than a watermelon seed suddenly appeared half-exposed.
"The little guy is really fun," the fat man walked over with a smile, picked up his thumb and touched the little guy's head, teasing himself. Li Yu walked straight towards me and said, "Look."
I was stunned, only to see that on the four walls of the sunken ground, all those small things actually stuck their heads out, their small mouths were wide open, and a stream of emerald green liquid began to slowly overflow. The stone carving of the dragon head that had been hanging on the four walls above also moved suddenly, only to hear the sound of "salsa", the four dragon heads vomited wildly, and the sand suddenly came out like a gushing spring.
The situation is suddenly bad, and danger is looming. We subconsciously climbed out along the side, but found that the green liquor spit out by the small thing that looked like a snail had the effect of "lubricant".
The spitting sand seemed to never stop, gradually reaching our knees, and then it was already halfway down, and the fat man cried out with a bitter face, "Shall we be buried alive by the sand?" ”。
By the time the sand reached his chest, the surroundings had gradually calmed down. The fat man with a dead face suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "God won't let me die!" I'm going out".
I stood quietly aside, looking at the fat man who was struggling desperately and helplessly, and sighed unconsciously: "The sand is too soft and has reached our chests, and if we want to get out, there is no focus or other facilities, we can only be trapped in it."
Hush! Li Yu made a gesture of silence, and I looked over in surprise, only to see Li Yu lower his head and put his ear on the sand, as if he had discovered something. I hurriedly gestured to the fat man, signaling not to make a sound, and only the sound of our breathing could be heard around me.
Slowly, I began to hear the slightest rustling sound clearly in my ears. The sound came from the sand. Could it be ......, I was shocked that there was something hidden in the sand.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The sound coming from the sand became louder and louder, and we could see that the sand not far away from us was stirring, as if something was swimming towards us.
Not good! The cautious Li Yu shouted, beckoned to us, and took the lead in moving towards the side of the side, the speed of the march was not very fast due to the obstruction of the sand. The fat man and I followed closely behind, and on top of the seemingly white and flawless sand before, there were a lot of black bugs coming out at this moment, densely packed, and the long hooks protruding from each other looked unusually dazzling. If you are bitten, you will either die or be injured.
I didn't know what to do when I was anxious, and the jade pendant on my neck suddenly brightened at this time, and the dazzling light shone on the side, and the insects that were pressing over suddenly stopped. The fat man looked at me with a surprised face, his two eyes stared at the jade pendant on my neck, and it became extremely hot, "My good man, it is indeed a magic pendant."
Finally, there is no danger. But the situation was not as good as we imagined, the light emitted by the jade pendant gradually dimmed, and the insects around it were already black and pressing, and they were coming little by little. In this way, we will definitely become turtles in the urn when we stay where we are, and our eyes look unnaturally towards the top of our heads, with a hint of luck in our hearts, only to see that above our heads, that is, on the wall of the cave, there is a white thin ball.
Li Yu saw the opportunity and suddenly shook his big hand on it, only to hear a loud sound of "pop", the thin ball broke in response, and then dozens of long locks fell straight down from the sky, all around, and the bottom section of it was less than half a meter away from us, and it was just right to catch it with his hand.
The three of us dared to hesitate, and we grabbed our hands on the long locks, and began to drag them out of the sand with great difficulty, and it felt like we were thrown into a swamp and stepped on a rock. As soon as I climbed to the top, I had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the four dragon head stone sculptures that had been quiet and immobile before began to move violently again, spitting out the dragon's mouth, and the rolling sand rushed out like a spring. The sand continued to rise in height, and it didn't take long for it to reach the end of the long lock. Ma Yuan really played a big joke with us, just thought he was out of the wolf's den, but he didn't expect to enter the tiger's mouth again, and the disappointment came earlier than hope.
Li Yu, who didn't want to be caught just like that, was already alone along the long lock, shuttling back and forth, going straight to the side of the wall, as if he had discovered something, and hurriedly shouted at me: "Come and help."
Due to the weight of the fat man himself, it is rare to maintain stability. I stretched out my arms, like an ape in ancient times, and quickly walked towards Li Yu, and when I got closer, I clearly saw that in front of Li Yu, there was a black tiger head lock ring that was not very big. With the strength of Li Yu's hand, he was able to shake the movement of the tiger head lock ring. I hurriedly stretched out my hand, and with the combined strength of Li Yu and me, the lock ring began to slowly move outside.
With a little movement of the lock ring, on the wall of the cave where our feet were measured, there was a sudden shaking, and a long platform gradually began to appear, and we stood on it, and our own weight suddenly had a focus point, and the whole person became much more relaxed. The platform reached the middle of the platform and then stopped. At the same time, the sand on the ground under my feet was constantly increasing, overflowing little by little. The fat man immediately jumped over, showing some with the inertia to fall down, fortunately I saw the situation and grabbed a handful, after seeing that it was safe and sound, the fat man said with a relieved face: "You look at the top of the head, there seems to be a turntable, I guess it is likely to be the exit."
I looked up, and sure enough, as the fat man said, there was a turntable more than half a meter wide on the top of the head, carved with some dense stripes, as if inlaid with a dark green stone. I handed my hand over and took the dark green stone off it, and the whole turntable suddenly opened with a "bell". A deep exit has already appeared, and we suddenly jumped up without thinking too much, and the faint smell of fragrance suddenly came to our noses. (To be continued.) )
