Chapter 57: Traces Left Behind
The exit appeared inexplicably, and when we entered, I slowly noticed that there was something unusual.
According to the route marked on the paper, after passing through this "burial pit", you can directly reach the suspension bridge that connects to the tower. But in front of us, there is now a giant monster dozens of meters high, blocking the intersection of the road.
I don't know how long the monster has lived, but at the moment it is drowsy and unconscious. I saw that the monster looked almost similar to the rhinoceros, with a long protruding horn, the slight difference was that the body was much larger than the rhinoceros, and the monster had three dark black long whips behind it.
Li Yu, who was walking in front, made a silent gesture to Gong Hui and me, and his eyes motioned for us to go around to the other side, trying to pass through the gap between the monster and the cave entrance. I glanced at it, and although the gap was not large, it was just enough to accommodate one person. Before we could move, the monster snapped its eyes open, snorted loudly, and fell asleep again. We who were attached to the wall, half frightened to death, saw that the monster had fallen asleep again, and tiptoed to the crevices little by little, trying not to make a sound.
Just as we were about to reach the breach, we didn't know what was going on. The monster suddenly woke up, and then stood up from the ground, its eyes wide as bells, and looked straight at the three of us.
Secretly soothing our beating hearts, the three of us were just about to force our way into the gap when the monster yelled at us, and a powerful wave of qi suddenly blew us into the distance.
Bang! The body fell to the ground solidly, and a piercing pain suddenly permeated the whole body.
It seemed that the monster blamed us for disturbing his sleep, and we had just fallen to the ground, and before the monster could catch our breath, the three long whips at its tail came straight for the three of us.
If this is brushed, it will not die but will be crippled. I immediately rolled to the side, and suddenly there was a piercing sound in my ears, and the ground where I had been before suddenly appeared cracks in the spider web. Fortunately, I escaped in time, but this monster seems to be endless, and blindly dodging is not a way after all!
When I thought of this, my gaze swept unnaturally to Li Yu. I saw Li Yu standing next to him, his long hair was a little messy, his head was lowered, and I couldn't see anything clearly when I was standing in the distance.
呲呲呲.........
With the sound like grinding teeth, Li Yu raised his head suddenly, only to see his eyes closed, and the hammer mark on his eyelids emitted a dazzling light, shrouded in purple light.
Could it be that her thunder attribute is about to awaken? Thinking of my own situation, watching this sudden change, I told myself this. The monster seemed to smell a threat, and roared uneasily, its eyes staring directly at Li Yu.
In an instant, a dazzling light passed through my eyes, and before I could put my hand to my eyes, I only heard a "boom" explosion, which sounded exactly the same as the thunder on a thunderstorm. Soon after, he smelled a burning smell, and when everything had subsided, the monster had fled and ran straight into the distance.
I don't know if it's the reason for the awakening of the thunder attribute, Li Yu, who looked cold, looked even more intimidating at the moment, and seeing that I didn't move, Li Yu said indifferently: "Let's go!" ”。
Walking down the front, the suspension bridge that was originally marked on the map was gone at this moment. We hurriedly ran over, only to see that there were faintly visible scratches on the edge of the suspension bridge, and the entire suspension bridge was floating in the "moat river" deep next to the tower at the moment.
In other words, the tower has now become an island. We tried to look to the side and were surprised to see that there was an isolated house not far from the drawbridge. It doesn't look very big, but it looks beautiful.
We tried to walk over and found the door of the hut, unaware of who had opened it. There was a footprint on the dusty ground, which meant that there was another person besides the three of us! It's terrible, that person has been by our side all the time, and he didn't feel it at all, if Zhang Yu was there, maybe he could find something.
The structure of the wooden house is relatively simple, with bookshelves on the left and right sides. And on the wall facing in front of me, there is a portrait, I feel cold in my heart when I look at it, for no other reason, the person in the portrait is none other than me - Qin Xiaoke. Qin Xiaoke, who saw the portrait, was smiling at his real body at the moment, and a creepy feeling permeated his whole body.
Since the last time Wuling went to Wuling, I saw a jade pendant engraved with himself, and this mystery has not been solved, and at this moment, there is suddenly another one. I tried to walk to the only table in the wooden house, only to see that there were some messy papers on it, and there were all kinds of drawings on it, like some equipment structure diagram, towering iron pillars, and gears running in with each other, which seemed very unsound, and among the many papers, I found a very beautiful decoration, like a document of a new official in ancient times, through the half-open slit, you can also see that there is a seal in the "document".
I felt my hands trembling uncontrollably, and slowly opened them, only to see that on the "paperwork", only five big characters were written, but they were as thick as Mount Tai, and I was a little out of breath, and the five words were: Manager - Qin Xiaoke!
At this point, things are starting to become clearer. If it is the same name and surname, it is impossible for the appearance to be exactly the same, so, there is only one explanation, that is, this Qin Xiaoke is the same person, if this is the case, then I am not like the mute hunter himself said, I am a person who has lived for hundreds of years. So am I still Qin Xiaoke? I can't help but think that my own experience is somewhat similar to the "grandparent paradox" that I have seen before.
Don't overthink it! Sensing the changes in my body, Li Yu hurriedly spoke, I glanced at it gratefully, and before I could speak, the whole room suddenly became dark, and then a figure with a silver-white mask suddenly flashed in front of me, "Old friend, long time no see."
The figure that suddenly appeared in front of me scared me almost half to death, and after hearing the sound, I gradually eased up, and looked around, how could there be Li Yu and Gong Hui's half-doppelganger, and a cold air spread from my body.
"What? Make new friends and forget old ones? The man in the silver-white mask chuckled and continued: "Don't worry, I won't hurt them, let alone you, and they won't hear the conversation between the two of us."
It's so weird!
That was my first feeling. I exhaled, out of psychological fear, but unconsciously took a few steps back and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" Why is it here?"
Hey! The man in the silver-white mask smiled, didn't reply to me, looked at me a few times, and then said in a solemn tone: "I know that you want to think of the top of that tower, and I don't want to hinder you, besides, when you go to the top, maybe it will remind you of something." But warn your friends, don't take anything on the top of the tower. As for you, my former best friend, do what you want! Maybe we will meet again soon."
All the way to the voice, the man wearing the silver-white mask suddenly disappeared, and I was in a trance, only to see a hand in front of my eyes constantly shaking, it was Li Yu's hand, seeing me wake up, Li Yu hurriedly asked: "What happened to you just now, why are your lips always moving, but you can't make a sound."
What the! I thought it was a hallucination, but I was shocked. The experience just now was too weird, and it was useless to say it, so I waved my hand hurriedly, "I was thinking about something just now, and I couldn't help but talk to myself."
Seeing that we had no gain, at this time, the antelope, which had been unknown before, suddenly appeared in front of our eyes, raised its horns at us, and ran quickly outside, did it show us the way? With that in mind, we hurried out and followed the antelope. (To be continued.) )
