Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 22 The Great Shadow of Darkness
"Burn oil?!" We were all confused by this sudden situation, and when we heard the little lama say this, it suddenly dawned on us that these fog misters seemed to be a little afraid of the contents of the little lama's bucket.
I hurriedly looked around for the barrel, only to find that it was at the foot of a few fog clouds, and it was being kicked and dangling. It seems that these dried corpses are not afraid of the oil that has not been ignited in the barrel. But looking at the barrel that was almost kicked down a few times, my heart went to my throat.
At this moment, the closest person to the barrel was Lantern Festival, so I shouted, "Lantern Festival!" Grab the barrel back! ”
Due to my temporary withdrawal from the battle circle, the pressure on the other three people increased, and Lantern Xiao was a little scrambling at this time, and when he heard my shout, he asked loudly, "What to rob?" He asked, smashing a fog away with his hand.
"Get the barrel back!" I shouted again.
"Barrels? What a barrel to grab! Who of them is carrying a barrel? As she spoke, Lantern Xiao knocked down one again. I think Lantern Festival is already stupid, and I really want to pump him hard. But now the situation does not allow it, I have to patiently stretch out my hand and point in the direction of the barrel, "That's the ......" But when I looked over, I saw that the fog that had just been knocked down by the Lantern Festival fell heavily on the barrel, smashing the barrel to pieces.
Lantern Xiao turned around again and asked, "What are you robbing?" ”
Look at the broken barrels, and the big stuff like oil flowing from the ground. I felt my brain buzz, my chest burst out full of anger, I felt like I was about to vomit blood, and yelled at Lantern Xiao: "Rob your uncle!" I raised the short knife in my hand, turned and plunged heavily into the neck of a misty man, venting the anguish in my chest! I must have done something heinous in my last life, and God sent you such a stupid X to torture me in this life! ”
Lantern Xiao was also a little unhappy, "Zhuo Ran, who are you talking about, I'm not idle!" Desperate for it! ”
I turned to the broken barrel and said, "Do you remember how the little lama started with that thing?" Look at the good things you've done! It's good now! Let's die together! Shi Tao and Cai let Dorjee see the fragments on the ground, and his face was also full of lovelessness.
Lantern Xiao also understood at this time, looked at the fragments of the wooden barrel on the ground in a daze, and then slapped himself in annoyance, "Damn!" Blame me! ”
"That's it! Now is not the time to hold accountable, let's talk about surviving! Shi Tao had already put away the gun at this time and took out a short knife from his bag. Shi Tao is Kong Ye's assistant and bodyguard, and his fighting kung fu is very good, and he is currently the only one of the four of us who is currently comfortable with it.
When we were barely holding on, the strange bell rang again, I felt that the bell should come from the depths of the canyon far away, but you can clearly hear it, this bell has a certain rhythm, you will even feel that it is very melodious, in this canyon with this ethereal bell seems to be very meaningful, but I have no time to appreciate it, I can't help but feel a tightening heart, because I always feel that this bell has some kind of connection with these fog.
Sure enough, after the bell rang, there was a certain change in the Fog that was besieging us, I can't tell exactly what kind of change occurred, but we all clearly felt that the way they attacked became more flexible, for example, when I deal with a Fog head-on, the other Fog that I have my back to will definitely sneak up, which is not at all the same level as the unconscious attack at the beginning. We can only take care of each other to prevent our companions from being attacked, so the strength and pressure of our defenses will instantly increase a lot.
Soon, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely, and the short knife in my hand seemed to have become heavier, and my movements had slowed down, and I was in danger several times, and I was almost caught by them several times, and the feeling of being more and more powerless made me gradually feel a sense of despair. The state of the Lantern Festival was not much better, panting, and his face was sweating like rain. Looking at Shi Tao and Cai Dorjee is not as embarrassed as us, in the final analysis, it is a matter of physical strength, I secretly decided, if I can't die this time, I must exercise well, participate in sports, enhance my physique, let alone defend the motherland, at least I can protect myself first.
When I was thinking about it again, I only heard the sound of "whew", a burst of red light lit up, I turned around to see, it turned out that it was the Lantern Festival that lit a wooden stick, the wooden stick came from a broken wooden barrel, and there was a lot of oil stuck on it, and the Lantern Festival was lit at once with a lighter, and the red flame turned green after a few seconds.
What should have been an eerie-looking flame has become a fire of hope. Sure enough, at the same time as the green flame lit up, the fog immediately flashed a circle, and they all retreated in fear of the green flame. Our stress vanished in an instant, and I fell to the ground, gasping for air. If this flame had been lit a minute or two later, I would have been unable to support it. I made a "nicely done" gesture to Lantern Festival, and Lantern Festival also proudly returned a military salute to me.
Shi Tao picked up all the other sticks of wood stained with oil on the ground, and said to us: "Hurry back to the house, guard the door, if you can't shoot, as long as you hold on until dawn, we will win!" ”
Only then did Dorjee carry the little lama, and the lantern festival lit the torches, and we began to slowly retreat towards the old lama's room. The oil on the sticks burns fast, the flames will soon turn from green to red again, and the fog will come back to us, so we can only light a new torch before the flames turn red again.
We raised our vigilance and slowly retreated, but just as I turned around, I suddenly noticed that in the depths of the canyon, there were two red lanterns hanging in the depths, looming, "How can there be red lanterns here?" Am I already hallucinating from exhaustion? I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and when I looked over again, the two lamps were still hanging there.
"Not a hallucination! But what is that? Could it really be the entrance to hell, or the Hades Temple? There are two red lanterns hanging at the door! "But when I looked closely, it wasn't a red lantern at all, it was clearly two eyes, and a huge black shadow was standing there, and two red eyes were looking at me coldly!
I remembered the email I received on the train at the beginning, and the photo in the email was exactly like this, with two red eyes in the dark, looking at me coldly.
For a while, countless questions emerged, and I felt extremely suffocated in my chest.
I was stunned, completely frozen there, unable to move. They didn't even know that they were far away during the Lantern Festival, and they were so engrossed in the fog around them that they didn't notice at first that I didn't keep up.
By the time I found out later, we were almost separated by fog, and I was surrounded, and some of the corpse's hands had touched my clothes.
Several people were taken aback when they saw this! Shi Tao hurriedly snatched the last sticky sticky stick, shouted my name, and rushed over, I was also awakened by Shi Tao's shout, but I found myself in a desperate situation. I hurriedly picked up the short knife and tried my best to resist, and at this time, Shi Tao also arrived with a torch burning with green flames, and these dried corpses retreated again.
Shi Tao pulled me and began to retreat towards the door of the old lama's room, and at this time they had already entered the house during the Lantern Festival, and they were gesturing desperately, let's hurry up! However, due to the large number of fog spots, they are crowded with each other and move slowly, and even if they are dispersed by the green flames, it takes a lot of time, and the torches in our hands may turn red at any time. When the time comes, we will surely die.
The green flame had dimmed, and we moved towards the door as fast as we could, but as Murphy's Law says, bad luck happens! Sure enough, just as our hands were about to touch the door, the flames in our hands suddenly turned red, and our hearts sank suddenly.
Shi Tao reacted quickly, grabbed me, raised his foot and kicked down a fog that was just about to surround me, opened half of the door and stuffed me into the house, and the Lantern Festival inside also dragged me inward, just like that, I was really stuffed into the house. And Shi Tao himself was pulled by many dry arms and fell backwards.
We were so anxious that we wanted to rush out, but there was already a lot of fog standing at the door, and we had to take into account Kong Xue, the old lama, and the unconscious little lama in the house, so we didn't dare to be careless.
Shi Tao pulled out his short knife, struggled to break away, and shouted at us, "Leave me alone!" Don't come out!! Take care of Miss! Kong Xue in the back heard Shi Tao's words and couldn't cry. My eyes were moist, I used to think that sacrificing myself for others was a plot in film and television dramas, but I didn't expect it to really happen to me.
Shi Tao was finally pounced on by the fog, he struggled desperately to crawl away from the room, just when I didn't know why, I saw him take out something from his waist, a grenade!
