Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 53 Trapped
I really couldn't bear it, so I motioned for them to rest, and as soon as I put Kong Xue on the ground, I fell to the side all of a sudden, panting for breath.
Kong Xue stretched out her hand and handed over her kettle, and said softly: "It's hard work, drink some water!" ”
I waved my hand and picked up my own kettle, "It's okay, I'll have it here, you can drink it yourself." "Although I already had a dry tongue, I just took a small sip of water, held it in my mouth, fully felt the moisture and coolness of the water, and then swallowed it slowly.
The reason for this is because another grim fact has been placed in front of us, although everyone is reluctant to mention it, but it can be seen from the state of everyone drinking water and eating, everyone is aware of this problem, that is, our water and food, there is not much left, we don't know how long the road ahead is, and we don't know if we can find a clean water source, let alone food, we need to speed up, otherwise there will be no big snakes, dry corpses or anything to attack, I am afraid that we ourselves will die of lack of food and water.
Lantern Xiao tore off a piece of bread and accidentally dropped a piece, which made him feel distressed, picked it up and blew it and planned to put it in his mouth, but he looked at the coffins around him, shook his head and threw it on the ground.
After resting for a while, I felt that my physical strength had recovered a lot, so we continued to move forward, this time carrying Kong Xue from the Lantern Festival. Kong Xue was embarrassed to continue to let me carry it, so she didn't refuse the Lantern Festival.
For a period of time afterward, we still kept walking between the many bronze coffins, and Lantern Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Damn! That's how many people died! At least thousands! ”
I couldn't understand, "Why are so many people dying?" And it was put in a bronze coffin! ”
We kept winding through the crevices, and I even began to wonder if this was the way all the way back.
Suddenly, Wen Mo, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, squatted down to observe, and said lightly, "Huh? ”
Wen Mo doesn't talk much, and he is very calm, and things that can make him feel strange must be unusual. Hearing his words, we were all shocked in our hearts, and walked forward quickly, and between Wenmo pointed to some residues on the ground and said, "We just came here." ”
Following the direction of his finger, we saw a small piece of bread crumbs scattered on the ground, "This! This looks like the piece I dropped! Lantern Xiao also squatted down and looked at it.
I looked back and forth, "Hey! What a strange thing! After a circle, we're back again? Are we on the wrong track? ”
Lantern Xiao shone a flashlight on several other gaps in front of us, "It's okay to go the wrong way, but don't meet ghosts hitting the wall!" ”
Kong Xue, who was lying on his back, raised his hand and gave him a slap, "Close your crow's mouth, can you say something auspicious!" ”
Lantern Xiao shrunk her neck, "Okay, okay!" ”
"Let's go this way." I pointed to another gap and looked at Wenmo.
Wen Mo looked fixedly ahead, didn't speak, just nodded.
Although I felt in my heart that the reason why we returned to the distance must be simply because we chose the wrong path, but despite this, in the process of traveling, my heart is still very worried, will it really be because of the guess of the Lantern Festival?
After a few nervous turns, I unfortunately returned to that familiar place again, and the breadcrumbs on the ground were particularly glaring.
"Yes!" Lantern Xiao tilted her head, "We're back again!" Now I should believe it! We might really have a ghost hitting the wall! ”
"No wonder we think there are so many bronze coffins here, but in fact there are not so many at all, we have been taking the repetitive route. However, the path between these bronze coffins is tortuous, and it is easy to take the wrong route, and in addition, the lighting here is extremely poor, so it is very possible to get the wrong direction. I said with a careful analysis.
"No," Lantern Xiao said, "you have a loophole here, if the direction is wrong, the route is wrong, this kind of thing is completely random, how can it be so coincidental to return to the same place again." ”
That's true, I was speechless, I looked at Wenmo, only to see him squatting on the ground, holding a stone, knocking on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
Kong Xue gently rubbed her ankles, "I don't think we can sit still, anyway, there is only the last gap in front of us, let's at least try every possible route, maybe this one can get out." ”
We nodded, and that's all we have for now. Before I set out, I put a few stones together and made a new marker, one I really didn't want to see.
Regarding our proposal to test the route again, Wenmo is also hardworking and still at the forefront.
This time we walked very carefully, tried our best to identify the direction, and would choose very carefully when we encountered a fork in the road, and just after we turned a few corners, the stones placed together appeared again in the light of our flashlight.
Lantern Xiao next to him also looked very impatient, "What's going on with this TM!" Why can't you get out! Could it really be a ghost hitting the wall, which ghost is it! There's a kind of heads-up! ”
Kong Xue said softly: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!" It's useless for you to be in such a hurry, let's calm down and see if there is any other way. ”
Lantern Xiao picked up a stone and threw it out, the stone hit a bronze coffin heavily, and there was a bang, "It's really not good, let's push all these bronze coffins here, just force a way!" ”
I listened and nodded, "Don't say it, this is really a way, I was stunned just now when I was not mentally prepared, Lantern Xiao is right, if it doesn't work, let's just smash a way." ”
"Nope! This is absolutely not a no-go! Wen Mo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Hearing his words, we were all taken aback, "Can't smash, why is that?" ”
Wen Mo didn't look up, still knocking on the ground, "According to the routes we just took, I probably remembered the placement of these bronze coffins. ”
No way! Hearing Wen Mo's words, I was very surprised and shocked, in such darkness, these bronze coffins that looked disorganized, Wen Mo could remember their approximate placement! What a brain this is!
Lantern Xiao and I stepped forward, only to see that Wenmo was not randomly tapping on the ground, but sketching a picture, "What are you painting?" ”
Wen Mo pointed to the ground, "This is the area we walked in just now and the approximate location of the coffin in it." I found that these coffins were definitely not randomly arranged, they seemed to be unrelated to each other, but in fact they were interlocked, and if we pushed any of them, there would be a chain reaction of these bronze coffins stacked together. This is simply an artificial formation. ”
"Chain reaction? You're saying it's like dominoes, which will eventually all collapse and bury us inside. I asked.
Wen Mo nodded, "That's right." ”
"But you say this is the formation?" I looked at Lantern Xiao and each other, what? That word sounds so fantastical!
Seeing that the two of us didn't seem to understand, Wen Mo continued: "To be specific, I'll give you an example, you can understand, such as the Bagua Array!" ”
"This..."According to Wenmo, these bronze coffins were deliberately placed here, setting up such a maze so that those who walked in couldn't get out. It's unbelievable!
"Ahh I understand. Lantern Xiao on the side patted his head, with an epiphany expression, "I understand what you mean, isn't it the gossip array!" That is to say..."Lantern Xiao put on a profound expression, did we look at Lantern Xiao expectantly, waiting for his high theory, only to hear him continue: "That is to say, it is possible that Zhuge Liang is buried here!" ”
"Fuck your uncle!" I kicked Lantern Xiao to the side. "What time is it, you're still here!"
I turned my head and said to Wen Mo, "Then do you have any way to crack it?" Wenmo shook his head.
"No, aren't you able to draw drawings, can't you find the right route?"
Wen Mo looked at the picture on the ground and said, "I can only draw a rough partial map from memory, but I didn't find any problems or flaws. Therefore, the right route cannot be found either. ”
The flame of hope that had just risen in my heart was extinguished again at once. Even the flashlight in the hand is a lot dimmer, tossing for so long, the power of the flashlight has also consumed a lot, in order to save power, we have turned off the flashlight, only one is left, and the brightness is as low as possible.
Everyone sat there in the darkness without speaking, and the sound of four or too low breaths was especially noticeable in this dead silence.
The current situation, in addition to the lack of physical strength, is more important than the psychological blow. In this kind of dark environment, the confusion of losing direction, coupled with the fear of "ghosts hitting the wall", we are all on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, I heard a very faint, but strange, sound, I don't know what it was, and I became alert.
At the same time, I heard Wenmo, who was sitting next to me, also moved, and the faint sound of metal rubbing came from his direction, what is this? I made a closer look, and suddenly it became clear that it was the sound of a knife being drawn.
There is danger! I straightened up and put my hand on the hilt of my sword. Suddenly, a strange voice remembered, some like a wolf howl, but there was a hoarse and miserable look, which scared me all over my body, what is this!
Immediately followed by Lantern Xiao's exclamation: "Damn! What the hell! ”
I turned on the flashlight all of a sudden, the strong light lit up, I only saw a shadow flashing, I quickly shone the flashlight over, but there was nothing.
I hurriedly asked, "Lantern Festival, what do you see?" ”
Lantern Xiao stammered, "I... I didn't see anything, I... I'm touching... Touched a furry thing. ”
"Furry?" I looked around, and when I looked at Wenmo, I saw that Wenmo's place was empty.
