Chapter 40: Ghost Soldiers
At this moment, we can only hope that Tan Jian can be safe.
Jiang Xi began to check the organs one by one, except for the occasional sound of turning, the surroundings were unusually quiet. The burning bones in the floor tiles are about to move, and everyone's hearts are also restless because of Tan Blade's danger, which is really not a good sign.
About four or five minutes, there was a sudden boom in the entire underground, as if ** exploded. The sound obviously came from far away, and when it came to us, the sound was already muffled, and the burning bones in the ground shrank in fright, and I immediately understood that this thing was not only afraid of salt, but also afraid of loud sounds.
What was that?
Could it be that something exploded?
The voice came from the direction we came, and a bad guess arose in my heart, could it be that Elder Lei did something to Tan Blade? As soon as this thought arose, there was a muffled sound in the distance, and the hearts of those who listened were shocked.
Tang Linlin couldn't sit still, and said, "We really don't care about the surname Tan?" He's a nuisance, but we can't ...... If you want to die together, I'll go and see! "This girl has always been in a hurry, and at this moment, her head is hot-headed by the stimulation of those two explosions, and she is about to rush forward with an arrow step.
I was about to stop it, but Zhou Xuanye was one step faster than me, and his left hand slammed Tang Linlin's shoulder, and pushed it back, pushing Tang Linlin backwards. If I hadn't happened to follow behind and stop me, I was afraid that I would have fallen on all fours.
Tang Linlin sighed and scolded angrily: "Fox Zhou, what are you doing!" He's your senior brother, you don't care if he's dead or alive! ”
"Yes, he's my senior brother, does it have anything to do with you? What are you anxious about? Zhou Xuanye jumped out of this sentence in a strange way, which made Tang Linlin stunned, and stammered: "You, you...... You've taken the wrong medicine. ”
I was shocked, thinking that Zhou Xuanye didn't take the wrong medicine, maybe he had a split personality. I have never figured out why his personality has changed so much in the jungle of Yunnan-Burma, but after that in-depth conversation with Tan Jian, I have some suspicions that Zhou Xuanye may not have split more than one personality, it is likely to be two!
This yin and yang weird Zhou Xuanye may be his third personality.
The last time this phenomenon appeared in the jungle of Yunnan and Burma, it seemed to be related to Tan Jian's disappearance and distress, and now Tan Jian lured the enemy into danger with himself, and he became like this again. Obviously, my previous speculations were correct, this Zhou Xuanye is not the Zhou Xuanye we know.
Tang Linlin still had to theorize, I pulled her sleeve, gave her a look, and signaled her not to conflict with Zhou Xuanye now. The real Zhou Xuanye has a kind personality, but this one is a yin and yang weird, and he turns his face and doesn't recognize people.
Tang Linlin didn't know why, but she still listened to me, suppressed her emotions, glared at Zhou Xuanye fiercely, turned her head and seemed to want to say something to me, at this moment, there was a sudden crisp click behind us, and Jiang Xi said: "It's done." ”
With this crisp sound, followed by a dense sound of the machine running, I immediately turned around, and there was an extremely shocking scene in front of me. But I saw that the opportunity was running, the relief of the mountains and rivers, birds and beasts on the stone, one by one, seemed to come to life, running and jumping on the small Fusang tree, the lights hit, like a dream, like a three-dimensional painting, and like enjoying a 3D movie at close range.
With the flow of mountains and rivers, the continuous transformation of characters and flowers, birds, fish and insects, in the middle of the stone, gradually revealed an S-shaped gap, just like a Tai Chi pattern of the dividing line, and this gap, also opened bigger and bigger, finally, a gust of dark wind blew from behind the stone door, the whole stone was divided into two, revealing an S-shaped channel, the light hit the past, the back was black, there was no floor tile as far as the eye could see, but black, like a thing like earth, the dark wind blew over in bursts, very cool.
Jiang Xi poked in a few times with a flashlight, but didn't find anything, so he took the lead and took two steps to say to us, "No problem, come in." ”
Zhou Xuanye followed and flashed in, very fast, as if he didn't care about Tan Jian who left at all, but Tang Linlin and I fell behind.
The blast was silent, except for the sound of our footsteps. I can't be sure what Tan Blade's condition is now, whether he has escaped, or if he has been poisoned by Yumen? It's a pity that the reality of the situation does not allow me to return to him at all, and no matter how much I do at this time, it is in vain, and when the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, we can only run away.
I've also experienced a lot of embarrassment in the past six months, but it's the first time I've been so embarrassed, even if we were hunted down and killed, we were still hairy corpses and beasts, and we didn't have any wisdom, but this time, we were fighting with wise people, and those people's combat effectiveness was quite explosive.
It wasn't until Tang Linlin pulled me that I couldn't help but sigh, turned my head, and stepped into the ventilation tunnel behind the stone.
The place was a bit damp, and because there were no floor tiles, the ground was a layer of black, damp and soft earth, and the lights were shining around, and there were no masonry on the walls and tops, but a complete mud structure.
Even if I haven't studied architecture, I know that such a cave structure is very dangerous, the soil is soft and damp, and there is no support point, so it stands to reason that it should have collapsed a long time ago, why is this place ......
My heart was full of doubts, and Zhou Xuanye and the others obviously thought of this, and their pace suddenly slowed down.
After walking a few steps, Zhou Xuanye seemed to feel something, and suddenly shouted: "No, retreat!" As he spoke, he quickly stepped back, as if something terrible had appeared in front of him, which frightened me and Tang Linlin for a moment, and subconsciously followed back.
However, as soon as he took a step back, some green smoke suddenly rose from the damp ventilation duct, in the wet dirt. I thought it was poisonous smoke again, so I quickly covered my mouth and nose, but this time the smoke was faster than the previous poisonous smoke, and in a blink of an eye, the green smoke cut off everyone's sight. I remember that Tang Linlin was on my right, but I couldn't see her at all.
Subconsciously told me that I must not be separated in this place, otherwise the situation will only be worse, and I immediately grabbed Tang Linlin's hand on the right side.
I don't know if I've been in the tunnel for a long time, her hands are very cold, and when I touch them, it's like touching ice bumps.
"Linlin, don't be afraid, cover your nose."
Instead of responding to me, she grabbed my hand tighter with her backhand.
When she grabbed it, I immediately felt that something was wrong, Tang Linlin was small, small With a backhand, almost my entire hand was wrapped in her palm.
No, this is not Tang Linlin!
Realizing this, I immediately tried to withdraw my hand, and after a struggle, the big cold hand let go. All I saw was green smoke and I couldn't see anything else.
"Linlin!" I shouted, but no one answered me.
Is it a human or a ghost standing next to me?
In short, it can't be Zhou Xuanye and Jiang Xi, because the two of them are walking in front, holding flashlights, although they can't see their figures, but the place in front of those two rays of light is obviously where Zhou Xuanye and them are.
Hearing that my name was Tang Linlin, Zhou Xuanye shouted: "Be careful, there are ghost soldiers in this place!" As I spoke, I heard a bang in my ears, the sound of the ghost's sword unsheathed.
Ghost soldiers?
Is there a 'soldier's head flower' in this place? Fuck, didn't you say it's extinct? This kind of legendary thing can't really exist, right?
Isn't that the hand I grabbed just now ......
As if to confirm my suspicions, suddenly, a cold hand touched the back of my neck, the miserable green light, the eerie atmosphere, coupled with the cold hand like a dead man who suddenly touched my neck, not to mention the horror, I screamed in fright, pulled my legs and ran forward.
I didn't run two steps, I bumped into a person, the other party was hit by me and snorted, listening to the voice, I could hear that it was Zhou Xuanye, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhou, is it a soldier's head flower?" ”
He said, "Yes! ”
And the green smoke around is not poisonous smoke, but the ghostly aura emitted by the soldier's head flower that comes out of the ground. This is what Jiang Xi said, the string of beads I wear in my right hand has the ability to ward off evil spirits, but there are too many evils in this place, and this thing is really useless, only Zhou Xuanye held the sword of the ghost and slashed left and right, but it had little effect.
Tang Linlin didn't know what was going on, no matter how she called, she couldn't hear the voice, Zhou Xuanye was also anxious, and a rare foul sentence burst out of his mouth, and then said, "Follow me!" Let's rush over. ”
Rush over?
I wonder if I've heard it wrong, shouldn't I retreat when I encounter something as terrifying as a ghost soldier? Zhou Xuanye has always been a cautious person, he thinks twice about everything, and he doesn't like to take risks, why did he make such a decision this time?
His third personality and his own personality are too far apart.
He dragged me to run, but I couldn't just run away, could I watch Tang Linlin's whereabouts unknown? Even if she is good, but when she encounters something like a ghost soldier, she is just an ordinary girl, how can she afford it?
I immediately said, "If you want to go, you go, I won't go!" ”
When Zhou Xuanye heard this, he really ignored me and said, "Whatever you want." "There was a sound of clothes rubbing against me, getting farther and farther away from me.
This week, the third child really ran away alone! I was so anxious that I almost didn't scream.
Just as Zhou Xuanye left, I suddenly felt a chill behind me, and it felt like there was some ice cube standing behind me. Even if I couldn't see it, I knew that there was a ghost soldier standing behind me.
The human crisis instinct made me run away, completely contrary to what I just said, and it was a slap in the face.
