Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 78 It's like a world away
More fireworks were fired, but this time they landed far away from us. The entire cliff is illuminated as bright as day, and the fireworks are flying, creating a festive atmosphere. Who did this? Is it to celebrate our safe return? But there's no TM that uses fireworks to greet people directly! I'm so disgusted by this kind of bad taste that I want to curse!
Suddenly, I noticed that the sound of the fog was becoming very chaotic, and it seemed to be slowly moving away. It dawned on me that the purpose of the people below the cliff was to use the sparks from the explosion to force back the fog. Someone is saving us!
Lantern Xiao shouted below: "What kind of person! What people are down there! ”
A familiar voice came: "Young Master Tang! I'm Shi Tao! Are you all right? ”
Lantern Xiao laughed twice and shouted, "Brother Tao, you came too timely!" If it's too late, buddy will really be in place! ”
Finally saved! My heart is mixed! I don't know if it's happy or sad! I suddenly felt like crying.
We sped down the cliff. At this time, there were a lot of people gathered under the cliff, and the person in front I knew, was Shi Tao.
When the crowd saw us returning, there was a burst of cheers. My heart is also very excited, I walked around the ghost gate, and now I really feel like I am in a different world.
A couple of people came running over and gave us a brief check-up of the injuries before taking us away from the cliffs.
Others took our place and began to deal with the remaining Gu newts, and I even saw a few people actually holding flamethrowers. The raging flames erupted, and there was a burst of strafing at the top of the cliff, and I secretly said, no matter how fierce the beast is, it can't compete with the wisdom of humans, even if the Gu newt is extremely fast, but in this formation, it can only be burned in addition to escaping.
Shi Tao walked over and smiled apologetically at me, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhuo!" I didn't expect things to turn out like this. On behalf of the Kong family, I would like to express my gratitude to you! If you have any requests, please do your best, and we will do our best to compensate them. ”
I waved my hand, I am now a dumb person eating coptis, who can blame me for this matter, no one forced me to come, it was completely voluntary. Now that it's like this, I'm also to blame. I was just about to say something, when I suddenly heard a loud noise on the mountain, and we hurriedly looked up. My heart was shocked, and I said that it couldn't be the giant snake that came out!
A lot of searchlights shone up the cliff, but there was nothing but a few rocks rolling down. Shi Tao waved his hand to a few people next to him, and these people understood and climbed up the cliff.
It can be seen that these people are very athletic, and they quickly climbed to a high position, and we can only see a few small highlights below.
After a few people came down, they said to Shi Tao: "Brother Tao, it seems that a mountain wall has collapsed on it, and we found the climbing rope when Miss Kong and them came down in the collapsed place, which should be the place where Miss Kong and them came out." ”
As soon as I heard it, I understood that the exit where we were tying the rope had collapsed, and I don't know if it was the giant snake or the green-haired monster who did it.
I accidentally caught a glimpse of the Lantern Festival next to me, and found that this kid was a little strange, his face rarely became a little grim, and he completely lost the momentum of the eyebrows that he usually danced when he was poor, and carefully glanced at everyone present.
I just wanted to go over and squeeze him for a few words, when I saw Lantern Xiao walking next to Shi Tao and whispering a few words, Shi Tao nodded solemnly after listening to Lantern Xiao's words. I can't figure out what these two guys are playing secrets.
Just when I was puzzled, Shi Tao waved his big hand and beckoned everyone: "Everyone pay attention!" Pack your things and head back to camp! As soon as Shi Tao's words fell, someone came over to pick up Uncle Kong and Kong Xue, and a few people came over to take care of me and Lantern Xiao, and walked towards the camp together.
As I walked, I realized that this was not the canyon we had walked through when we entered the tomb, and I looked around through the mountain, and there was no trace of that canyon at all. Have we come so far in that tomb?
I asked Shi Tao next to me, "Brother Tao, how is your injury?" ”
Shi Tao smiled, "It's been fine for a long time, the day after you leave, I can move, I originally wanted to go to you, but because I didn't know your direction, I had to go down the mountain to call someone." ”
I nodded, "And how did you find us?" ”
Shi Tao pointed to Lantern Xiao's backpack, "I have put a GPS tracker in each of your backpacks, but I have not been able to find your signal, until I searched your location just now, and it should be when you arrive at the exit." We happened to be not far from your position, so we hurried over to it, but it was not too late. ”
I listened to Shi Tao's words and couldn't help but sigh, "I knew that I should have brought more people and equipment when I went up the mountain!" Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be so embarrassed. ”
Shi Tao listened to my words, seemed to be speechless and stopped, his face changed, and he said hesitantly: "Well, it's actually ......."
I felt that Shi Tao had something unspeakable, and just wanted to ask, the Lantern Festival next to him said: "Actually, it's useless to bring too many people." Zhuo Ran, you are also the first time to go to the tomb, and you may not know much about it, six points of experience, three points of luck, and one talent. It is difficult to do it alone, but it is also troublesome when there are too many people. Besides, when we went up the mountain to look for someone, we didn't expect to go to the grave. ”
I nodded, thinking that what Lantern Xiao said made some sense. recalled that in the tomb at that time, Kong Xue was a girl, I was a layman, and the half-baked person of Lantern Festival, that is, Wenmo seemed to be quite accomplished in this regard. With such a lineup, it is really God's favor to come out alive.
I suddenly remembered Wenmo, and I didn't seem to see him along the way. No one here knew him except a few of us, so it couldn't have been that he had forgotten him under the cliff.
I hurriedly searched around, but I couldn't find him. I asked Shi Tao about Wenmo's whereabouts. Shi Tao scratched his head and said that he seemed to have seen such a person, but there were many people at that time, and these people who came were not all men from the Kong family, so he couldn't tell who was who.
Shi Tao called a guy in charge of the palace to inquire about the situation, and the guy said with certainty that when they evacuated, they repeatedly confirmed that they had not left anyone and equipment behind before leaving.
I feel very strange, where did Wenmo go? Is it already gone?
Lantern Xiao patted me on the shoulder, "Forget it, Wenmo must have his reasons for doing things, and you can also see his ability, there is no need to worry." ”
I'll admit it. If it weren't for a few of us this time, Wen Mo himself would have been able to handle everything easily. Although I was reluctant, I had no choice but to give up.
The camp is still far from the cliff we came out of. We walked for a long time to see the lights of the camp. At this point I was already eager to step into the camp, and I seemed to see food and beds beckoning to me.
Seeing someone coming back, some people in the camp greeted us, and some people recognized us and shouted in surprise: "It's Master Confucius and Miss!" "Master Kong and Miss are back!"
Many people gathered around, and everyone was happy, but Lantern Festival was sullen all the time. It was so abnormal that I walked over and whispered, "Hey, I said what's wrong with you?" How listless, don't you think that reality is not as exciting as in the ancient tomb! ”
Lantern Xiao ignored the squeeze in my words, and said in a low voice: "Among these people, there are people from the Tang family, it should be my father who is here!" I'm miserable now! ”
"Huh?" Hearing Lantern Xiao say this, I suddenly realized. I knew before that Lantern Festival was a lord who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but he was only afraid of his father! I enlightened him: "Actually, you don't have to worry, you went up the mountain this time to save people, and you had to go to the grave, your father won't blame you." ”
Lantern Xiao smiled bitterly, "You don't know, my dad didn't want me to do it alone, I slapped my chest crackling, and he agreed." As a result, I got it like this the first time I loaded the goods, alas....."
As he was talking, a few more people came out of the camp, and the person at the front I knew was the father of Lantern Festival - Tang Zhendong. Another one of them walked over quickly, this person I also know, also a member of the Tang family, it turned out that he had sent things to Lantern Festival when he was in college, and he was his father's assistant, it seems that his name is Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng walked to Lantern Xiao's side and looked at the injuries on Yuan Xiao's body, "Young Master, are you okay?" ”
Lantern Xiao glanced at her father a little nervously, and said in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, I'm fine!" ”
Tang Zhendong looked at Lantern Festival and snorted coldly, "Hmph! Bite off more than one can chew! ”
Lantern Xiao hurriedly lowered her head and walked in front of Tang Zhendong and shouted, "Dad!" ”
Tang Zhendong said coldly: "Do you still know that there is a father like me? Can you go to the grave with just two strokes? Do you still want to save people? If something happens, you should let me know immediately! If I hadn't come soon, you'd be dead by now, you know! ”
"Yes! Dad, I was wrong! Lantern Xiao didn't dare to defend at all.
Tang Zhendong said in a deep voice: "You will stay at home honestly in the future, and don't come out to cause trouble!" ”
I think Lantern Xiao's father is a little unkind, after all, his son also escaped death, although we do underestimate the difficulties of things, but according to the situation at the time, we are also a little helpless. So I plucked up the courage to speak: "Uncle Tang, in fact, the Lantern Festival... Ah, Yuan Ding, he was also anxious to save people, the situation was urgent, and we couldn't help it, don't blame him! ”
Tang Zhendong turned his head to look at me, raised his eyebrows, looked me up and down, and said, "Are you Zhuo Ran?" ”
I was apprehensive and nodded, "Uncle Tang, I'm Zhuo Ran." I thought he was going to start training me, but I didn't think he laughed and gave me a thumbs up, "Okay! I heard Shi Tao say about you, you are brave and strategic, and you are really extraordinary, worthy of being a member of the Zhuo family! ”
Hearing Tang Zhendong's words, my heart was stunned, worthy of being a member of the Zhuo family? Listening to his words, it seems that there is something special about our Zhuo family?
I was puzzled when suddenly a familiar voice said, "Nonsense! How can the descendants of my Zhuo family be ordinary people! I followed the voice, and a familiar figure stepped out and stood in front of me. I couldn't believe my eyes for a moment, "Two... Second uncle?! ”
