Chapter 539: Escape
readx;?? At this time, the dust that shrouded me had completely dissipated, and I looked intently at the gravel pile, only to see that there was a relatively complete long stone block in the stone pile, which looked more like a stone tablet, and it looked a little familiar......
Daoist Qingsong said categorically: "There are words on that stone!" ”
The stone with the word is not facing us at this time, so I can't see what the word is on it, I followed the old road to the right after a few steps, but he suddenly stopped, and the lines on the stone can be clearly seen at this angle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The stone was indeed a stone tablet, although it was a little broken, and the handwriting engraved on it was a little blurred, but after just one glance, I stood on the spot like Lao Dao, and my heart was shocked beyond measure.
The blood-red characters on the stele are like blood flowing out of hell, and these appear here, which is particularly dazzling. Lao Dao, like me, was already dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
I don't know how long it took, Sanji's voice suddenly sounded: "Huh? What's wrong with you two? It's like hell, is there something wrong with the words on this stone tablet? It's all blurred like this, what can you see? ”
Lao Dao had come to his senses at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "The two of us have seen this stone tablet, and the words on it are the gate of hell." ”
"What do you say?! This is the stone monument on the passage to the Gates of Hell in Death Valley?!! Sanchi's voice rose an octave in a flash, and the shrill voice was piercing in the empty cavern.
I echoed and said, "That's right, this is the stone stele, but I don't understand, how it appeared here, it was because it suddenly sank into the ground, I was separated from the Taoist, at that time I thought the Taoist was pressed under this stone tablet, and it was already ......."
Sanji immediately asked, "If it's really the stone tablet you said, that means it's already Death Valley on it?!" ”
Lao Dao walked to the stone tablet, groped carefully, and finally determined that this was the stone tablet engraved with "The Gate of Hell". A few of us stood beside the stone monument and looked up, only to see a huge hole overhead, with a little starlight shining on it, and a long-lost moonlight shining from behind a cloud.
I visually measured that it was about a dozen meters above the ground, and where we were, there was another layer of space above it.
I looked at the stele and thought that Lao Dao was trapped in the stone chamber at that time, and the removal of the stone chamber caused the stele to sink, so the upper layer should be the secret escape route.
Now that the stele has fallen down the next floor, the escape route is completely revealed, but these are no longer important to us, since we can escape, who cares about these trivial matters.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took off my backpack, took out the flying tiger claws from it, tied the rope and let the two of them lean back, and threw the steel claws against the ground above my head.
After several failures in a row, he finally stuck the flying tiger's claw on the edge of the big hole, and Lao Dao stepped forward and pulled the rope a few times, and found that it was very firm, so he had to climb up directly.
Sanji said at this time: "Let me go up first, I am lightweight, and if the steel claws fall off, you can catch me below." ”
I looked at Lao Dao again, and felt that what Sanji said was very reasonable, in case Lao Dao climbed halfway and fell, even if Sanji and I could catch him, we would be seriously injured by him.
Lao Dao seemed to understand this truth, so he didn't argue anything, and told Sanji a few words and let her go up first.
Although he was young and frail, Sanchi was lighter in weight and more agile than an adult, and his speed of crawling up was not much slower than mine.
Lao Dao and I waited for the preparation below, but fortunately, there were no accidents, and Sanchi climbed safely to the ground.
Then she disappeared into the hole, and after a while she poked her head out and shouted at us, "Come up, you guys, I've tied the rope tightly, and thunderclouds are starting to appear on it!" ”
After her shouting, I remembered that it was the range of Death Valley, but there would be a large number of thunderstorms at any time.
Lao Dao said to me, "I'll go up to protect Sanji first, and you will come up last." ”
After finishing speaking, he jumped up more than a meter high, looking at the old and vigorous posture, I couldn't help but secretly admire, this is like an old man in his sixties, even I, a young man, have such skills.
In less than a few tens of seconds, Lao Dao had already climbed to the ground, and after one last glance at the stone tablet of the Gate of Hell, I also began to crawl towards the ground.
However, when I had just climbed less than two meters, I suddenly saw a flash of red light on the stone monument below, what is this?!
I immediately stopped climbing, and at this time the dark clouds on the ground seemed to have moved their position, probably because the old Taoist was afraid that the thunder would hit the rope, which led the thunderclouds away, and after the dark clouds left, the moonlight was completely exposed.
In the white moonlight, the handwriting on the stele shone red, and when I looked closely, the red light seemed to flash through the gap in a word.
Driven by a strong curiosity, I returned to the bottom of the cave, but when I got to the bottom of the cave, the red light was no longer visible, and I thought to myself, maybe it was the angle.
In the direction I had just seen, I stood on tiptoe and raised my hand to touch it, and when I touched the edge of the inscription, I really touched a gap, and I could be sure that the red light was coming from here, and there must be something inside.
This sense of surprise at discovering the secret made me immediately excited, and I kept imagining all kinds of possibilities, ancient treasures, magic secrets, priceless cultural relics, etc., and so on.
Unable to contain my excitement, I immediately pulled out the Tiangang Sword and carefully stabbed it into the gap.
Then along the original gap, the gap was enlarged little by little, and at this time, there was also a rolling thunder on the ground, and it was believed that Daoist Qingsong could completely cope with this situation, because his thunder talisman had never failed.
Although I have a lot of confidence in Lao Dao, I still have to hurry up and speed up, who knows what variables will appear, with a soft "click", the gap in the stone tablet has been completely pried open, and after pulling out the sword, I pushed forward with one hand.
"Bang!" At the top of the stele, a stone weighing dozens of pounds smashed on the ground, and the hole immediately became red, and I was excited again, and I didn't think about it, and climbed up with the broken gap, and as soon as I showed my head, I felt that my eyes were stabbed by a red light.
I subconsciously turned my head and closed my eyes, and although I didn't look closely, a bright red outline was still reflected in my mind.
On the section of this stone stele, there is a blood-red bead, this bright red as blood, makes my heart flutter, and then an inexplicable throbbing rises, I am eager to get it!
Without the slightest hesitation, I quickly reached out and grabbed the beads. As soon as I got my hands on this bead, a feeling of blood connection arose, as if this thing originally belonged to a part of my body, and after leaving me for an unknown amount of time, it finally returned to its original body at this moment, and this illusion only flashed in a few microseconds.
I couldn't help but shake my head vigorously, trying to shake off this strange feeling, because deep down in my heart, an instinctive feeling of resistance immediately arose, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
I stared blankly at the blood-red beads in my hand, like a red cherry, tender and full, delicate, and always had a feeling of wanting to swallow it in one bite, which made me vigilant and wanted to throw it away immediately, but I was a little reluctant to put it into action.
Just when I was struggling, an old shout suddenly came from overhead: "What are you doing?!" Why haven't you come up yet?! ”
The shout of the Taoist Aomatsu made it clear to me immediately, and I was about to throw the beads away, and then I thought that maybe the two of them could know this thing, so I casually put the beads in my pocket and shouted to it: "I'll come up immediately!" ”
I always felt that this bead must be extraordinary, and this time I might have picked up the treasure, and with a happy mood, I even forgot about the fear of heights for a while, and climbed to the ground in three or two strokes.
After coming up, I quickly glanced around, and this was indeed the place where Lao Dao disappeared, Sanji was holding a talisman on the side to study, and Lao Dao looked up at the sky vigilantly.
Following his gaze, the moonlight in mid-air dimmed again, and layers of dark clouds were piling up on this side.
