Chapter 158: A passage that does not lead to the escape ground
Although the mask boil was resolved, the rest of the poison remained in everyone's bodies.
Zha Wuye felt that if he left the ground and went to the surface, he would definitely be able to find the antidote herbs. In any case, going back to the ground is the best way out, the ground is dark and damp, there is no edible food yet, and you can survive by going to the ground and eating grass roots, so everyone is more in favor of returning to the ground as much as possible.
As I left the cliff, I looked back into the abyss in the distance. I was in the bronze plate at the end of the stone pillar in the abyss, and I saw myself sticking a horn scimitar into the fat man's chest. Although the picture was only a flash at that time, it was very clear, and I really saw it clearly, it was the picture of myself killing the fat man.
But how is this possible? I wouldn't have done anything to the fat man at all, let alone kill him with a knife, the scene inside the bronze lotus petal plate, if it was said to predict the future, I would definitely sneer and shout: How is it possible? Even if I could kill myself, I would never stab the fat man in the chest, and that would be a million times more painful and sad for me than if I had died.
The endless staircase winds its way up, and when it comes up, it is not as easy as when it comes down, and everyone is soon so tired that they can't take any steps, and they all sit down on the stone steps to rest.
Tianyu suddenly woke up from my arms, and I asked her happily, "How do you feel now?" ā
Tianyu jumped from my arms to the top of the stone steps, and then said to me coldly, "I'm fine. ā
When I saw Tianyu's attitude, I immediately felt a headache again, and her schizophrenic personality reappeared, which is not a good sign!
The people of the Western Expedition sat on the cold and damp stone steps and rested for a while. Then he began to climb again. But at this time, everyone was unsure in their hearts about the future of climbing. If you can really find a way out. After all, those mask horseshoe crabs still gather in large numbers in the burial pit. Who can't guarantee that they will retreat now, and if the Horseshoe Crab Crab is still in the Nine Rings Burial Pit, what will everyone do next? Is it possible to send someone to lure away the mask horseshoe crab again, but the conditions here do not allow it, and the method in the snow valley cannot be carried out here. All of them had uneasy questions, but none of them asked. Because now going up to the top is the last choice at the end of the road, and there is no other feasible way.
The expedition to the west walked and rested on the dark and narrow staircase passages, many of them clinging to the cold rock wall with exhaustion. Lift your thighs with your hands and step up. Finally, when the exit was close at hand, everyone stopped walking, extinguished the candle in their hands, and sat on the stone steps to catch their breath.
I sat on the cold stone steps and saw Fifth Master Zha sticking his head out of the square entrance, listening intently to the movement.
After a long time, the fifth master went down to the bottom of the stone steps and said to everyone, "The insects are still outside. ā
When everyone heard this, they were immediately like deflated balls. The mood is very depressed and sluggish.
Seeing that everyone was in a state of low pressure, the fifth master was silent, so he continued: "However, the strange insect is far away from here, and we still have a chance. ā
There's still a chance to hear it. Everyone immediately came to the spirit again, and Kun Ba first couldn't help but ask curiously: "Fifth Master, what tricks do you have?" ā
After glancing at everyone, the fifth master of Zha glanced at everyone. He said slowly: "Actually, my original plan was to dig a thief hole out of the burial pit. This is the most well-known and sustained escape method for inverted fighting craftsmen. After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
After the western expedition team stepped into the western part of Kunlun Mountain. The place of distress is either a rock cave, an ice cellar, and then there is a frozen soil that has been frozen for 10,000 years, and it is impossible to dig a hole to escape. But now it's different here, the nine-ring burial pit outside is a dirt pit, we used the earth hole to get into here to take refuge, and now we can also dig the earth hole and escape from here.
However, the horseshoe crab in the distance is a big problem, and everyone must dig in a very quiet place, so that there can be no big movement, and they must be very energetic, cautious and very cautious, and there must be no negligence. Once a large number of masked horseshoe crabs are disturbed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The fifth master felt that everyone's current physical condition was not very good, and the residual poison in the body was not clear, and it would only flood in the future, so he had to return to the ground to find healing herbs.
The task of digging the cave is very heavy, and the first players to take on the role are Captain Chen and Zha Wuye, both of whom are veterans who often go to the tomb to fight, and the experience of digging the cave is very sophisticated. The others stayed on the stone steps to meet the two. The stone steps are very safe here, and those masked horseshoe crabs don't dare to step into this place lightly.
The horseshoe crabs were all concentrated around the narrow tree hole when we entered, far from us. Captain Chen and Fifth Master Zha both fastened their clothes, then carried the Luoyang shovel, lay on the ground, and began to crawl forward on the round stone slab, and soon came to the outer edge of the round stone slab, and then turned into the burial pit where the human corpses were buried.
The two of them were going in the opposite direction from the mask horseshoe crab, and they had to dig a hole in the outermost burial pit, which was the most suitable place. Because it is the farthest from the hole where the mask horseshoe crab is located, it will not be found by the light yƬ. Moreover, digging the thief hole from the outermost part is also more time-saving and labor-saving, and it can be dug to connect the outside passage as much as possible.
I stared intently at the two people in the ninth ring of the burial pit in the distance, and then immediately turned my head to check the movement of the horseshoe crabs behind me, they were crowded in the farthest burial pit, completely unaware of our actions here, I immediately turned my head with peace of mind and continued to pay attention to the actions of the five masters. The two of them soon quietly climbed over the burial pit of the fifth ring, but when they climbed over the burial pit of the sixth ring, the fifth master accidentally pressed Captain Chen's clothes, causing Captain Chen to slide into the burial pit all of a sudden.
When I saw this scene, I immediately looked back nervously, and found that many of the mask horseshoe crabs gathered at the entrance of the cave in the distance had their hind feet alertly propped up their hind legs and turned the back shell of the mask in our direction, so frightened that I immediately shrank my neck and burrowed into the passage of the stone steps, not daring to show my head out of the stairs lightly.
When the people on the stone steps saw that I looked nervous, they hurriedly asked me, "What's wrong?" ā
I put my index finger to my mouth, closed my eyes, and began to listen intently for the movement outside.
The sound of rustling has not been close in the distance, and this is why I finally breathe a sigh of relief.
When I put my head out of the stone steps again, I couldn't see the figures of Fifth Master Zha and Captain Chen, and I think they should have reached the outermost burial pit.
I retracted my head again and told everyone that the digging had begun, and now it would be good to wait patiently.
When everyone heard this, they all let go of their hearts that had been hanging in their hearts, and began to lie on the stone steps to supplement their sleep. I dragged the fat man to sleep under the stone steps, far from the square hole, for fear that his earth-shattering snoring would attract the horseshoe crab in the mask. Now is a critical moment, and we must not lose Jingzhou because of temporary carelessness.
Since Tianyu woke up, he has not fallen asleep again, and his state seems to be very healthy, not like a seriously ill person. Seeing her hearty appearance, I was very happy, so I asked her to pay attention to the situation outside, I took the opportunity to rest, I haven't been able to sleep well for a long time, my body is so sleepy, I really can't hold on.
The cold stone steps, the bitterly cold and bone-chilling wind, I tightened my clothes, but I still felt cold in my bones. In my sleep I saw the Snow Maiden, who came to me with a fierce face to settle the score, and dragged me into the icy lake, freezing me as hard as a popsicle. Then I kept dreaming about what I saw in the bronze disc, knowing that it was a nightmare, but I couldn't break free from it.
After I broke out in a cold sweat, I was finally woken up by Tianyu, I opened my eyes in a cold sweat, and saw Tianyu's very worried eyes, so I asked her in a daze: "I said in my sleep?" ā
Tianyu shook his head and wiped the sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief.
I struggled to sit up and looked around as I struggled to sit up, and everyone else was still asleep. I was sitting near the top of the stone steps, and I couldn't see where the fat man was, and I could still hear his snoring, and told him to go down to sleep, which seemed to be the right thing.
I saw that Tianyu was a little tired, so I asked her, "Are you okay?" Do you want to get some sleep? ā
Tianyu replied to me: "I'm fine, I've slept enough before, but now I don't feel sleepy at all, you don't have to worry about me, you should worry about yourself." ā
I felt that Tianyu had something to say, and I just wanted to ask her why she said that, but suddenly seeing her expression change, she hurriedly stuck her head out of the stone steps. Fearing that the situation outside would change, I immediately stood up and leaned on the topmost stone steps, looking out.
Tianyu's nerves were much more sensitive than mine, and I saw a dark figure in the distance, slowly jumping over the graves and crawling towards us. Although it was very far away and I couldn't see it clearly, I felt that the black shadow seemed to be Captain Chen.
As a result, it soon proved that my feeling was correct, and Captain Chen, under my warm and welcoming gaze, cautiously climbed into the passage of the stone steps, and brought us the exciting good news that the exit had been dug through.
I can't believe that it didn't take long for the thief hole to be dug so easily. Now we can really get out of the dark, damp, and eerie underground, and enjoy the warm sunshine and the fragrance of plants and trees.
Seeing my elated look, Captain Chen said to me with some hesitation: "The passage is dug, but it does not lead to the ground." ā
When I heard this, I was surprised and asked, "Where does that lead?" (To be continued......)
