Chapter 120: Crossing the River and Demolishing the Bridge
At the last moment, the fat man pulled me and Tianyu up from the edge of the cliff, and Tianyu slapped Kun Bayi very indignantly, resulting in Kun Bayi not confessing his crime.
And the fat man who knew the truth of the matter couldn't help but get angry immediately, Kun Ba saw that the fat man was angry and wanted to make a move, so he hurriedly explained: "Fat man, stepping on the stone slab under Wen Ye's feet, I made an unintentional mistake to save my life for a while; And I didn't come to the rescue, because there was another hidden reason, and I really couldn't help. ”
When I heard what Kun Ba said later, I hurriedly stopped the fat man from being rough with him, and said to Kun Ba in a non-hurried tone: "Kun Ye, you are also a well-known figure in the capital, and I also know that your mistake just now was your unintentional mistake, and it is inconvenient to investigate it deeply." However, you said that you did not help for a compelling reason, and I would like to know what is the secret of this? ”
When Kun Ba heard my very generous words about his mistakes, he hurriedly thanked Dade for his mistakes, and then answered my question and said, "When Master Wen and Miss Tianyu had an accident just now, I was ready to get up and help. As a result, at the moment when I just lifted my butt from the ground, I saw Wen Ye lying on the ground, suddenly twisted me violently, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and although a pair of eyes were smiling, they were shining with the cold light of a cautious person, looking at me coldly. I was so scared that my legs and stomach cramped all of a sudden, and then I felt my limbs stiffen, and I couldn't get up from the ground. Then I sat stiffly on the ground until the fat man rescued you two, and my body could not move. ”
The fat man glared at Kunba very unconvinced and said, "Coward." Then he turned his head angrily and ignored Kunba.
When Kunhachi was talking, I was carefully observing his expression all the time. His attitude was very sincere, and his tone still revealed a hint of grievance, which didn't seem like he was telling a lie. I couldn't help but think to myself: it must be the evil spirit that is at work in the dark. That's what happened.
Evil spirits like black shadows seem to be able to cause people to have various illusions of time and space, and can also manipulate the perception of people's bodies. But what I don't understand is that since this evil spirit has such great ability, why doesn't it just destroy us, but keeps lurking around us, waiting for an opportunity. It's a little too low-key, and it's not in keeping with its capabilities. There must be something else hidden in this, but I can't figure it out for a while.
A ghostly shadow looming. Jue is a tricky problem, you have to try to find a way to figure out the details of it, as long as you figure out the ins and outs of it, you will definitely be able to think of a way. Destroy it completely.
At this time. The people on the slate had already come to the west bank one after another, and the ghost slaves on the other side of the abyss finally made a move and began to jump on the slab one after another, ready to chase after them.
Seeing that things were not going well, I hurriedly took off my coat that Tianyu was wearing on him, and then spread it on the ground, picking up some relatively large rocks and putting them on my clothes. Then he tied his sleeves tightly in his hands and said to the fat man beside him, "Smash the bridge." "Finished. He quickly picked up the clothes wrapped in the stone in his hand and smashed them into the stone slab on the ground.
The crowd immediately understood my intentions, and they all picked up the huge stone and threw it at the stone slab. The stone slabs above the abyss were quickly smashed one after another, and some ghost slaves who stepped on the stone slabs fell into the bottomless abyss along with the broken broken stone slabs.
While moving and smashing the stone slab connected to the other side, I secretly scanned the people around me, except for Hu Da, who had fallen into the abyss earlier, everyone else came here intact. And among them, there is a high probability that there is still that enemy agent hidden, and the incident of the evil spirit just now, I have to take the time to find an opportunity to secretly tell the fat man and Tianyu.
Now I have made the mistake of being suspicious again, I don't look like a good person, I just hope that Hu Da, who fell to death just now, is the enemy hidden in the Western Expeditionary Team, so that even if I have doubts about my relatives and friends around me, at least we are safe.
After smashing the only stone slab that could pass through both sides, the ghost slave was effectively stranded on the opposite side, and would no longer pose any threat to us, and the Western Expedition team was regrouped again. The playboy walked up to me and the fat man and said to us, "Hibrother, are you two alright?" ”
I nodded, and then lifted Tianyu to the side of the stone wall to rest. I saw Kun Ba walking up to the fifth master and whispering to him, the two of them exchanged glances with each other from time to time, whispering and not knowing what they were discussing?
I put my tattered coat on Tianyu's body again, then lowered my head and asked Tianyu, "Are you okay?" ”
Tianyu leaned against the cold rock wall, barely squeezed out a smile and said to me, "I am much better, I feel stronger now, and I am no longer very sleepy and want to sleep." ”
I touched her forehead and found that she didn't have a fever, which put me at ease. So I told her to rest against the wall, then turned around and pulled the fat man to the front of the fifth master. The two of them, who were originally whispering, hurriedly shut down when they saw me coming, and I pretended not to see it at all, still with my signature smile, greeting them warmly.
After a few words of greeting, I immediately cut to the topic: "Fifth brother, should we rest here before marching, or should we hurry up and continue to hurry up immediately." ”
The east side is the abyss we just walked on, and the west side is a dark and deep rock cave.
Fifth Master Zha glanced at the remaining members of the Western Expedition Team, and then said without thinking: "Rest in place." ”
The remaining nine members of the Western Expedition team were all ragged and tired, except for the fat man and the playboy who also carried a water bottle with him, as well as two flashlights that everyone sacrificed their lives and never let go, and there was nothing else. The backpack I had always been suspicious of was lost on the way to escape, along with the secret inside that I didn't know yet, and the backpacks on the others were also missing.
Now, the Western Expedition must return to the ground before the ammunition is exhausted, after all, people can survive eating grass roots and bark in the desert, and in this dim underground, except for stones, they are still stones, and there is nothing to satisfy hunger at all.
Everyone obeyed the order of the fifth master to rest in place, some ghost slaves still stood on the other side of the river and watched, the number of ghost slaves has decreased a lot now, but I am still very worried that they will chase after them in unexpected ways again, and leave here as much as possible to avoid future troubles.
There is no need to discuss the direction of the westward expedition at all, because there is only one feasible road in front of them. The team rested for about an hour, and the fifth master woke up the sleeping people and prepared to continue their departure.
When everyone was resting peacefully, I kept my eyelids open again and again when I was forced to fight, and in order to refresh myself, I had to pinch my thighs from time to time to drive away sleepiness. Because I don't dare to fall asleep, the ghost is lurking nearby, and I may appear at any time, so I must always be vigilant for everyone's safety.
The remaining nine members of the Western Expedition stood up from the ground lazily, supported each other miserably, and walked into the dark rock cave in front of them very reluctantly. At this time, everyone's heart is like fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down.
Crossing thresholds and ditches, we are physically and mentally exhausted, and the rest of the journey, whether we can find our way out safe and sound, whether the nine people can survive to the location of the firewood kiln, have become the same unknown as the vast universe.
The dim circle of light of the flashlight shone on the cold and hard rock, and everyone's body was as stiff as the rock, and the mechanical steps were moving, and we gradually felt that the future was hopeless. Everyone's nervous mood lasted for a long time, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Because, suddenly, without warning, the dark rock cave we walked in came to an end, and at the exit of the tent-like triangular shape, a faint light poured in. The crowd couldn't hide their ecstasy at all, and immediately ran forward, and walked out of the dark rock cave.
The surrounding area was no longer dark, damp and stuffy, the fresh air, the bright moonlight, and I felt as if I wanted to fly to the sky. After many torturous and dreary days and nights, we finally returned to the vast ground again.
I heard someone singing excitedly, and after a moment of rejoicing, the soul of the flesh floated out of the body with joy, and was immediately stunned by the sight before me.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, "Oh my God." ”
And the dude standing next to me blurted out "Oh, mygod!" ”
Outside the exit of the tent-shaped rock cave was a large open space, which was covered with thick ashes. And under the ashes, looming uncovered countless complete dry bones, the number is unimaginable, and what surprised the members of the Western Expedition was not the terrifying bones everywhere, but at the end of a piece of ash, there was a concentric circle of volcanic cones, and a large amount of gray-white pumice and volcanic ash were piled up on the top of the mountain, which should be a dormant volcano. It turned out that the ash under his feet was volcanic ash.
I cursed myself in my heart for being stupid, the lava caves underground, the warm sulfur springs, the broken abyss, the ghost slaves who can burn people up like magma in an instant, all of which showed that there must be a volcano nearby.
After the eruption, a large amount of erupted material was piled up around the crater, making the volcanic mountain in front of you towering into a peak, and some of the mountain was buried in the ground, you can imagine how majestic this volcano is.
The members of the Western Expedition were all dumbfounded and dumbfounded, and they slowly stepped on the volcanic ash, carefully stepping forward.
It was the first time I had seen a volcano when I was so big that it was impossible for me to see it for the rest of my life.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the volcano was like a heavenly soldier and a god general, standing tall in front of me! (To be continued......)
