Chapter 33: The Lamp of Eternal Life

The mute hunter ran desperately up the wooden ladder as if he had gone mad. We followed closely, and before we reached the end of the ladder, a silver light shot down from the sky. In an instant, there was a glimmer of blindness. I picked up my sleeves and covered my eyes, and when I had recovered, I took a few more steps forward, and when I reached the end of the wooden ladder, my head slightly raised, and I couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of me.

The lantern in my hand is like a drop in the ocean, above our heads, and there are hundreds of such lanterns. The position of the arrangement is directly above a lantern, followed by three below, presumably high weight, and then below is the ninety-nine row, between the lanterns and the lanterns are connected by ropes, like hanging wind chimes. As I saw before, there was a villain in the lantern, and what was surprising was that the villain I saw this time, there was a wooden sign hanging around the neck of each villain, and the handwriting on the wooden card was not very clear because of the distance.

"This is the Immortal Lantern" Li Yu said, his big hand shook the sky, and the nearest immortal lamp to us fell from the sky, and Zhang Yu took it in his hand. When I took off the cover, I saw three big characters written on the wooden sign around the villain's neck - General Bi. It seems that the higher they go, the greater the official positions of these people, as we have guessed before.

I picked up the immortal lamp on the ground, smelled a strange smell in my nose, frowned without being surprised, and looked at Zhang Yu and the others, "Do you smell anything strange?" ”。

The fat man, who had been silent and didn't talk much, looked wilted before, but now he came to his senses, and after hearing my voice, he took it from my hand, put it on his nose and smelled it, and said, "En! It's a strange smell. It smells like kerosene. It's a bit strange that the so-called immortal lamp is not made of candles, but also from a cover coated with a fluorescent substance. And how can it smell like kerosene? ”。

The fat man is not unreasonable, smearing kerosene on the immortal lamp, what will be the intention of the designer's heart? The Dumb Hunter had said before that he had overseen the construction of this place, and he should know a little bit of the secrets.

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, the mute hunter let out a long breath and said, "It is indeed the smell of kerosene, and in addition to the outer cover of the lantern being coated with kerosene, there is another place that is also coated with kerosene, and that is on the interconnected ropes."

What the! I exclaimed, and then said, "Why is kerosene on the rope, it's the medium that connects the lanterns, is it?" ”。

"Not bad" The mute hunter slowly stood up, his eyes staring at the immortal lantern swirling overhead, "This is designed by the former prime minister - Ma Yuan, this person is good at design and production, and his ideas are always beyond ordinary people, and he does this with a clear purpose, which is to let us burn all these immortal lanterns." However, Ken will have unexpected dangers waiting for us."

The more I talked, the more I felt that things were a little weird. Why would the horse aid in the mouth of the mute hunter let us do this? What would be his intentions? The mute hunter, who had been slow to move, stood quietly on the ground with us, and the surroundings became quiet. The fat man sitting on the ground slapped his buttocks and shouted, "It's not a way to go on like this." Who called me an honest man? This lack of virtue still has to be done by me."

The fat man who said he would do it, without any ambiguity, picked up the lighter, and lit it at the immortal lamp that fell down earlier, and it suddenly became big. The fat man took advantage of the situation to hand over the immortal lamp to Zhang Yu and shouted, "Little brother, it's up to you to get it."

Zhang Yu, who heard the sound, was stunned for a moment, looked at the fat man in surprise, his expression looked very innocent, took the lantern that was almost burned out, looked at the immortal lamp above his head, suddenly let go of his hand, and said, "I can't throw it away."

The distance between the lowest lantern and us is also seven or eight meters high, and the lantern itself is too light to throw very high. Presumably, the fat man didn't encounter this problem at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have answered so simply.

It seems that there is no way out.

Li Yu, who was standing on my side, walked straight forward, stretched out his hand in front of the fat man, and said, "Give me the lighter, I have a way."

The fat man was stunned and handed the lighter to Li Yu's hand, and Li Yu, who took the lighter, immediately threw the lighter into the air, and flew out of ** meter at once, and then Li Yu turned around, and suddenly there was an extra pistol in his hand, and he shot at the lighter that was about to fall.

Rumble......

"This is the lighter I managed to find in the antique store!"

A piercing explosion sounded, accompanied by a dazzling burst of fire. The fire came from the bottom up, and in a short time, it had already drowned out the entire immortal lamp. Waiting for the results, we suddenly felt a strange wind blowing from nowhere, and the huge fire in the air was whirring. So much so that the lantern that was burning before began to shake from side to side with the rope, and we who stood below and watched it inadvertently found that it looked like a "fire dragon" when it was blown up.

The fire dragon roared, and began to expand its range of motion with the wind. The entire stone chamber was illuminated. At the same time, something seemed to emerge from the ground not far from us. Gradually, a square platform half a meter long appeared, and we walked over to take a look, only to see that there was a keyslot on the top of the platform, which was obviously the keyhole, where the mechanism was opened. But where is the key?

The "fire dragon" in the air had reached the end and began to slowly fall. The surroundings also became darker and darker, and we turned on flashlights one after another to check the changes around us.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, there was a sudden harsh sound in my ears, which sounded like the sound of metal hitting and sharpening knives, which sounded very uncomfortable.

Then, just a few seconds after calming down, I heard a "bang", and a piece of iron cover fell from the sky, with a foul smell, and a yin wind suddenly floated in the sky. "What's that?" I hurriedly turned the flashlight over, and saw that there was a monster four or five times the size of a man, which was a bit like the eagle itself, but the falcon was much longer than the eagle, and the claws were one more than the eagle, and it was sharper and longer.

"Key" the mute hunter shouted, and regardless of the danger, ran straight towards the monster, and when I heard the sound, I immediately hit the flashlight, only to see that the monster had a steel ring around its neck, and on top of the steel ring there was a golden key.

In order to get the key, you must kill it. When I think about this, I can't help but feel a pain in my head, the conflict is inevitable, and I hope it will be surprisingly smooth.
