Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Jade Corridor
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Jade Road
The body of the one-eyed old man suddenly disappeared without warning, which was completely unexpected by everyone present, and there was no sound, so how could the corpse disappear for no reason.
Zhang Hefang and others stepped forward to check and immediately found a more serious problem.
Zhang Hefang said: "Why do I feel that Uncle Chen's body was not dragged away by something." ”
Everyone didn't react for a moment, so they asked, "What does this mean?" It wasn't dragged away by something, could it be that the corpse stood up and jumped into the abyss by itself, and it was impossible to talk about the corpse, this Uncle Chen had just died for a while. ”
Zhang Hefang shook his head and said, "Look at the ground, is there anything missing?" ”
Everyone looked at the ground, and after a while, they finally reacted - the blood stains of the one-eyed old man on the ground were gone.
"What's going on, how can this be, there's no blood." Binzi couldn't believe his eyes, "If the body was dragged away, then there is no reason why there is no blood left." ”
"No blood? Unless it's a little bit of the whole road! The old python said.
Fan Peixi stared at the ground and muttered, "It's very likely, you see." As soon as he pointed to the ground, everyone followed his fingers, and the darkness in the distance gradually flooded like flowing water, and they stood still and did not move, but the darkness was approaching them step by step.
"Something is wrong, something is wrong, the darkness seems to be alive." The old python shouted.
Zhang Hefang also felt that the situation was not good, he picked up his pistol and immediately said to everyone: "Withdraw!" Retreat! ”
Unexpectedly, the darkness seemed to feel their fear, and as soon as they heard Zhang Hefang shouting the slogan of retreat, the speed at which the darkness devoured the Yongdao suddenly accelerated a lot, and everyone began to run away.
However, the faster they went, the faster the darkness invaded, and everyone didn't want to be engulfed by the weird darkness, but, in the fierce running, the old python who reminded the fat was left behind in a short time.
Everyone heard the old python's cry, and when they looked back, they saw that there seemed to be countless seemingly weak tentacles stretched out of the darkness, like ropes, and in the blink of an eye, the old python's body was tied and dragged back into the darkness.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the darkness seemed to have some kind of satisfaction after devouring the old python, and suddenly stopped moving forward, and no longer continued to erode the jade corridor.
Fan Peixi and Zhang Hefang gasped, and Bin Zi said: "Damn, isn't it, how long has it been since I just came in, and there are three people hanging up?" ”
Zhang Hefang's forehead was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, and he felt fear for the first time in his life.
Unlike in the past, there is not much complicated terrain in the underground palace of Kunlun Mountain, and from the perspective of the road, it seems that this place is not as magnificent as the underground palace in the priest burial pit of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and there is no invasion of demons, ghosts and strange beasts, but no matter how dangerous the previous experience was, they were able to find a way out of the predicament, and now, they are at a loss.
First, a huge strange face swallowed Qin Ye, and then the one-eyed old man was broken by a bullet that did not exist, and then, the erudite old python was dragged into the darkness and did not know where to go, where all this danger came from, they didn't know at all, what was hidden in the darkness, they had no way of knowing.
"Old python!" Binzi shouted at the darkness that had finally quieted down, but they didn't get any response.
Everyone's hearts were a little hairy, Zhang Hefang asked Long Bujin: "Miss Long, you are the only one among the earth royal attendants who keeps their memories, you said that you came from here back then, so do you know what that strange big face of Lu Dao is, and what is hidden in this darkness?" ”
Unexpectedly, Long Bujin just shook his head lightly and said, "I haven't seen that strange face, and in that darkness, I don't know what is in the Dao, it's probably the darkness." ”
Zhang Hefang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Then what did the Wu Sect say back then, our people in the Southern Wu only existed to help him come back to life, what did the Wu Sect set up for us to kill us, if we were killed, who could help the Wu Sect come back to life?" ”
Long Bujin listened to Zhang Hefang's words, and suddenly straightened up, exuding a cold and arrogant energy on his body, and said with a cold face: "Not all people are qualified to help Wu Sect resurrect, and, strictly speaking, Wu Sect has never said that he wants others to help him resurrect, and the resurrection ceremony should only involve the six magic weapons." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hefang's whole body was as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water with ice ballast, his face turned white, and he stumbled and said, "Wait, what does this, what does this mean." ”
Originally, the status of Wuzong was very sacred in Zhang Hefang's mind, and he had always taken the resurrection of Wuzong as his lifelong pursuit, hoping to stay by Wuzong's side as the new Six Imperial Attendants, but at this moment, he seemed to be abandoned by Wuzong.
Bin Zi was not as holy as Zhang Hefang thought, he just snorted coldly as if he laughed at himself, and said, "Hmph, together with our hot face and cold ass, people don't need us at all." ”
Fan Peixi and Long Bujin didn't speak, Zhang Hefang was at a loss, and Bin Zi said again: "Yes, let's retreat, anyway, this road is impassable." I think we need to go back and prepare again, we can't do anything about this situation, we can't jump into the darkness. ”
So, the remaining four people began to shuffle back step by step.
After walking for a while, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong, when everyone passed by here just now, the distance they had walked did not seem to be so long, they had been walking for a long time, but they did not find the way they came. The pitch-black jade corridor seemed to have a completely different appearance in an instant.
Zhang Hefang was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Yongdao here is all organized?" ”
Binzi looked at the jade on the wall and said, "The stone wall here is so heavy, it shouldn't be possible to install any mechanism." ”
"Wait," Zhang Hefang suddenly stopped, he looked back, and the whole person was stunned. I saw that the place behind them that was originally dark had completely disappeared at this moment, and it had become a dead end behind them.
When Bin Zi saw this situation, he was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and touched the jade wall behind him, which was a real wall.
"No, is it true that the topography of this corridor will change?" Binzi was an expert in tomb robbing, and he had some knowledge of some of the mechanisms of the dungeon, so he looked around the jade walls, but he didn't see any gaps as he expected.
Bin Zi's mouth kept muttering, "How is this possible, there is no gap, and it is impossible for the mechanism to be completely seamless." ”
Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly there was a strange sound from the corridor in the distance, which was like the sound of slippery slime dragging on the ground, which made people sound very uncomfortable.
The four men glanced at each other, Zhang Hefang made a silent gesture, and then all three men raised their submachine guns, slowly turned around, and used the light of the flashlight to shine into the darkness in the distance.
Suddenly, they noticed that at the end of the corridor in the distance, there seemed to be another entrance on the left, but they didn't see it when they had just climbed in through the ice wall.
Where the light of the flashlight shone on, there seemed to be a large figure faintly appearing.
Binzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and waited. The figure was moving very slowly, and, judging by the shape of the shadow, it seemed to have no limbs, and was slowly approaching them from the other side of the passage like a piece of.
The figure stopped abruptly near the corner, and then slowly revealed a corner of its body as if tentatively. Zhang Hefang and the others didn't know what kind of creature it was, it didn't seem to have any outer skin, only a layer of sticky liquid attached to the pale skin.
Zhang Hefang reminded and said, "Wait, wait until he fully appears before shooting." ”
Binzi and Fan Peixi both nodded.
The monster around the corner noticed the glow of the flashlight, but it didn't bother to back down, still leaning in their direction little by little with an unhurried look.
Soon, Zhang Hefang and the others saw the appearance of the thing clearly. They had no idea of such a strange creature, which looked like a shellless snail with protruding eyes, but it didn't seem to use its eyes to discern directions, and if the old python was still here, he might be able to call the creature by name.
Seeing that the thing showed its head, Zhang Hefang gave an order, and suddenly a deafening gunfire sounded in the entire corridor, and countless bullets hit the thing's head in unison, and the bullets passed through the thing's head very easily.
However, the gunfire did not last long before it stopped completely, because Zhang Hefang and the others were desperate to find that the bullets in their guns could not hurt the monster at all, the monster would not bleed, it would not feel pain, it did not even make a roaring sound, it just stayed there motionless.
Three submachine guns, three shuttle bullets, all of them were used up in the blink of an eye, and the four people looked at the huge monster in front of them in amazement.
After a while, there was a strange sound suddenly coming out of the monster's body, which sounded like a peristalsis in the stomach and intestines, and then I saw that the monster's throat was bulging, and it seemed to be very difficult.
Seeing this, Zhang Hefang said, "Hurry up and get on the bullet, that thing seems to be about to vomit something." ”
