Chapter 370: Falling off the cliff
Xiao Lei held a dagger in his hand, illuminated it with a flashlight, pushed away the layers of vines, and tentatively groped forward, and we all followed him closely.
However, as in the previous operations, when moving forward with Xiao Lei, several of us were back to back, facing different directions, and the madman six were tightly surrounded in the middle, so that attacks from all directions could be effectively guarded against.
The cool breeze in the cave was swishing, which indicated that in addition to the hole on the stump, there must be an exit not far away, which caused air convection, so that there was this cool breeze gust.
The cave has a faint, vine-like stench, and the vines are covered with water droplets, which make you feel a chill when your skin touches these cold droplets.
Each of our hearts was beating wildly, because at some point, that terrible "vine demon" would suddenly burst out.
"Wait, what do you think that's that?"
Just as we were groping forward with fear, we suddenly heard the madman six pointing to the cave wall next to us and shouting in a low voice.
Although Madman Six didn't make a loud voice, he was so frightened that we hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed out - I saw that on the cave wall, there was a relatively flat place more than one meter high and half a meter wide, as if someone had specially polished it, but other than that, I didn't find anything special.
"Well, the cave walls are really unusual here, as if someone had polished them."
Before I could finish speaking, I was interrupted by Madman Six, who said eagerly:
"Not only that, don't you see the image of the red line on the cave wall? And these images are exactly a person's meridian diagram."
An image of a red line on the wall of the cave? And is it an image of a person's meridian structure?
We all rubbed our eyes and walked over to take a closer look, but we didn't see a trace of a red line except that the place was relatively flat.
"Will these red lines be like human meridians, only you can see them, but others can't see them?" After Hongmei's reminder, we suddenly woke up - yes, what Hongmei said makes sense.
But the question also arises: how can there be human meridians when it is obviously a stone wall?
The madman's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking quickly about something, and he suddenly raised his right hand and tapped his knuckles on the stone wall a few times.
From the sound of the knock, we could all clearly feel that the back of the cave wall was empty!
Everyone's nerves tensed up immediately. It's actually empty inside, will the blind man hide inside?
If it is really as the madman six speculated, since the amphibian man with the appearance of a "human-faced monster snake" can have a special sense of the yin qi emitted by the tall blind man, then the high blind man is very likely to hide in this hole.
But on the stone wall, only the madman six can see, what about the meridians of the human body?
"That's right, the tall blind man is nearby, you see, the face worm in the bottle has turned red." At some point, Sister Li took out a bottle of face worms from her bag and whispered excitedly.
We immediately gathered around to take a closer look at the bottle of face worms - sure enough, all of them had turned red and were squirming rapidly in the bottle with great excitement.
We've all seen the face worm turn red before, but it's so red that it's so dark that it's never been seen before. We've heard Feng Shui masters say before that the closer a tall blind person gets to these face worms, the darker the color of these face worms will be.
Could it be that the blind man is really inside this stone wall?
At this time, we didn't even dare to make any more movement, but we just nervously communicated with our eyes and gestures.
We couldn't imagine that the blind man, who had gone through so many twists and turns and was unapproachable, was most likely hiding in the cave wall a stone's throw away from us.
And we have in our hands the face worm he is most afraid of! His terrifying abilities, when he encounters this kind of extremely yang face worm, almost all of them will fail.
At this time, the madman six suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei, and then gestured with his hand, and Xiao Lei nodded understandingly. Then Maniac Six motioned for everyone to take two steps back.
At this time, Xiao Lei suddenly raised the military dagger in his hand and plunged it into the stone wall.
I heard Xiao Lei say that his military dagger is made of titanium steel, which is extremely sharp, and can be pierced even by iron plates and steel plates, but when piercing these hard objects, you must try to maintain a vertical angle. However, I have never seen it used to pierce stones.
As the dagger was embedded deep in the stone, a terrible scream like crying and laughing suddenly came from behind the stone wall, and all of us were taken aback, and couldn't help but take a few steps back—wasn't this the scream of the tall blind man?
At this time, Xiao Lei also hurriedly pulled out the dagger, and at the tip of the dagger, there was a red liquid, which should be blood. Did this really stab the blind man?
It's incredible!
Xiao Lei reacted the fastest, and before we came to our senses, he had already raised the dagger and was about to stab it on the stone wall again, but before the dagger could fall on the stone wall, the stone wall suddenly opened suddenly-it turned out to be a stone door.
And the force and speed of this door opening are so big and fast that people are caught off guard, fortunately it is Xiao Lei, if it were someone else, he would have to be injured by this stone door.
Before we could see clearly, Xiao Lei had already taken a step back like lightning, and the stone door passed by him, and with a loud bang, it slammed into the stone wall next to him.
Almost at the same time as the stone door opened, a familiar figure suddenly burst out - it was the tall blind man!
All our flashlights shone at him.
Although he stumbled a little, his thin figure was still so fast, and he got into the vines in two swayes, and we didn't think much about it, so we picked up the vines with our hands, and desperately chased after them, at this moment, no one cared about any "vine demons" and the like.
The further we went, the more scarce the vines became, and after walking a few meters, we turned a corner, and suddenly saw a light in front of us, which was obviously the entrance of the cave, and we obviously felt that the movement of the tall blind man slowed down, but he still screamed and shouted bitterly, and struggled desperately to run forward.
We know that he suddenly became so weak and embarrassed, not because he was stabbed - the physique and resilience of a tall blind man, we have already learned - but the human face worm in Sister Li's hand, which played a huge role.
There was a rush of ecstasy in our hearts, and things went unexpectedly smoothly - we didn't expect to find the blind man so quickly and gain the upper hand so easily.
This tall blind man, who was so powerful and invincible, became so vulnerable at this time!
As the tall blind man stumbled to the mouth of the cave, he suddenly stopped, then jerked to face us, and we slowed down, pushed aside the vines, and slowly approached him.
We had imagined the decisive moment countless times, but we didn't expect it to come so soon. At this moment, we all understand that the blind man really has no way to escape now, because outside the entrance of the cave, there is an abyss!
A few bright flashlights, all brushed on the tall blind man, we saw him so clearly for the first time - only to see his thin figure, hidden in a robe, the robe is very much like a filial piety clothes, and like a shroud, originally white, but now it is dyed gray by various stains, it really looks like a dead man in a coffin, looking disgusting and terrifying. It's very similar to the clothes I wore when I saw him in the woods.
Not only that, but the tall blind man also wore a white hat that covered most of his face, and although he was so close, and under the glare of the flashlight, we still couldn't see his face clearly.
We slowly approached the tall blind man, and each of us drew knives and clubs.
As long as the face worm is there, even if the blind man does not completely lose his ability to fight, his skills are bound to be greatly reduced, Xiao Lei can solve him alone, not to mention that we still have so many people, this time the blind man is dead!
When we were only more than three meters away from the blind man, Xiao Lei quietly took the bottle of face worm in Sister Li's hand, he held the face worm in one hand and the dagger in the other, and then motioned for us all to stand still, he was ready to go over and fight with the blind man alone.
We stood there, holding a flashlight, holding our breath, our hearts beating wildly, waiting for the duel between Xiao Lei and Gao Blind.
Suddenly, I don't know why, the blind man suddenly let out a miserable burst of wild laughter, and before the laughter fell, a thick "vine" quickly wound towards Xiao Lei, that was the "vine demon"!
But Xiao Lei didn't use a dagger to stab it or cut it, but used the bottle of human face insect in his hand to lower the grade, which is strange to say, as soon as the "vine demon" saw the bottle of human face insect, he immediately retracted it.
We suddenly realized that this bottle of human face insect is not only the nemesis of the blind man, but also the fierce enemy of the "vine demon", because the yin energy of the "vine demon" will also suffer a heavy setback once it encounters the yang energy of the human face worm.
When the "vine demon" was frightened back, Xiao Lei no longer hesitated, quickly jumped in front of the blind man, and stabbed it with lightning speed.
But what happened next was a surprise to all of us:
The tall blind man seemed to be completely powerless to resist, and he staggered back two steps, but perhaps he forgot that there was an abyss behind him, and by the time he realized it, and waved his arms desperately to try to stand still, it was too late!
In the midst of the screams and laughter, his emaciated body had already slid off the edge of the cave and plunged into the bottomless abyss.
All of us were stunned, unable to believe what was happening in front of us for a moment, we didn't expect that the seemingly invincible tall blind man would die so easily, is this true?
After a long time, the madman Liu was the first to speak: "When it is dawn, let's go to the bottom of the valley immediately, as long as we can find the body of the tall blind man, it means that he is indeed dead."
That's all there is to it.
But for the madman Roku and the three Japanese women, their task was not yet complete - because the manuscript in Inoue was too important for them, but not very attractive to us and us.
Just now, because of the high level of nervousness, I didn't feel tired at all, but when I relaxed at the moment, I was sore, and I didn't even have the strength to walk.
But after all, they sacrificed their lives to help us, and we couldn't ignore their affairs, so we searched in the cave hard.
However, I always felt that this cave should be the same as the cave in the mountain, which was hundreds of miles long, and we had found the entrance to the cave in the valley, in the old house, and even under a boulder near our village.
If that were the case, it would be a needle in a haystack to find a manuscript in such a long cave. In addition, there is another point that makes us very nervous - is Maniac Six really dead?
