Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 77 Escape from the Ancient Tomb
Lantern Xiao beckoned eagerly and said, "Okay, leave that giant snake alone!" Even if you don't die, you're blown up, so come here! ”
I roughly estimated with my eyes that the broken plank road from here to the Lantern Festival is almost more than three meters to four meters, and if I run and jump, if I am in normal times, I must think that it is okay, but in this environment, looking at the bottomless darkness under the plank road, I am very timid.
Lantern Xiao kept urging, "Hurry up, Zhuo Ran, if the giant snake comes up again in a while, we will be completely dead!" ”
I gritted my teeth and said uncle!! It's all now, what are you afraid of! Die and die! I took off all the equipment on my body, leaving only a flashlight and a short knife, then took a few steps back, ran a few steps, and then jumped, fortunately, I participated in school sports activities that year, and my feet fell on the plank road in extreme anxiety. At the same time, the heart that I had been carrying also fell. It was an ordinary jump, but it made my heart flutter.
Then we just waited for Wenmo to come over, and then we could leave. I'm not worried about whether Wenmo can skip over, even I can handle it, let alone Wenmo.
We turned on the flashlight for Wenmo, only to see Wenmo hesitate for a moment, then he also unloaded his equipment, took two steps back, and jumped lightly.
Wenmo's body crossed an arc in the air, but when Wenmo jumped halfway and began to fall, suddenly a huge sound of breaking wind rushed up from the bottom up, I hurriedly looked down, only to see that the red eyes had arrived in an instant, and I shouted: "Not good!" Wenmo be careful! ”
We didn't expect this giant snake to start fighting back so quickly, and it was just when Wenmo was halfway up jumping. Before my words fell, the big mouth of the blood basin had rushed up at the break of the plank road, and my heart chuckled, I'm afraid Wenmo is really powerless to return to the sky this time.
The huge impact force shook me and Lantern Xiao back several steps, I thought that the tragedy could not be avoided, but I didn't expect that Wenmo reacted quickly, and at the moment when the giant snake rushed up, he kicked hard with his right foot on the stone wall, and his body surged upward, and then his waist was twisted, and he turned around beautifully, and he actually dodged the fatal blow of the giant snake.
My jaws and I almost fell to the ground when I watched Lantern Xiao, I always thought that this kind of skill could only be seen in TV and martial arts novels, but I didn't expect it to happen alive in front of my eyes today.
However, the serpent could not strike a blow, and one turned and swooped down from top to bottom. After Wenmo landed, he rolled forward, jumped up, and shouted at me and Lantern Xiao, who were still stunned: "Run!" ”
The two of us woke up from a dream, turned around and began to run. But I know in my heart that although our speed is not slow, but Lantern Xiao and I, including Wenmo behind us, are all still within the attack range of the giant snake, if it attacks again, and this time we have no means to deal with it, we are afraid that we are really in a catastrophe.
I turned to look at the serpent, one eye bloody. Make it look even more terrifying and ferocious. I saw it shrink back and attack again. My heart is cold, it's over!
Just as I was already despairing, a dark figure suddenly jumped straight down from the top of the boardwalk, and we didn't even see what it was because of the shaking of the flashlight as we ran.
I stopped and turned on my flashlight, only to find that the black shadow that had jumped down was the green-haired monster, which was clutching one hand at the serpent's injured eye. And the giant snake was wounded and injured at this time, screaming strangely, frantically shaking its huge body, and sinking into the darkness.
We were amazed by this sudden turn of events, and a sense of joy filled our hearts with the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe. We never dared to slack off in the slightest, for fear that there would be any extraneous changes, so we ran up with all our might.
Lantern Xiao shouted as she ran: "I didn't expect that green-haired monster to save our lives!" When I go back, I'll definitely find a mage for it to overdo it! Let it ascend to heaven as soon as possible and settle in the ground! ”
I didn't care about the poor mouth of the Lantern Festival, and turned my head to look at Wen Mo, only to find that Wen Mo was not following us, but looked at the darkness where the green-haired monster and the giant snake fell with some distraction.
We couldn't help but stop, and Lantern Xiao shouted at Wenmo: "Wenmo, let's go!" Don't be there to remember! You can't help much! ”
Wen Mo nodded, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction where the green-haired monster had disappeared. That's when they caught up with us and ran upwards.
The experience along the way gave me the feeling that there was some kind of connection between Wenmo and the green-haired monster, even though they were separated by a thousand years. I'll be sure to ask when I get there.
We caught up with the father and daughter of the Kong family in front of us all the way, and when we caught up with us, Kong Xue was already red with joy. It's just that this time she held back and didn't come up to hug me, which made me a little disappointed.
We walked all the way to the end of the plank road, and we saw a trace of soft white light shining through the stone wall at the end of the plank road. I touched the stone wall, and it was clear that there was an exit, but it was blocked by a large rock. I pushed, but I didn't push at all.
Lantern Xiao took out the sapper shovel, "If it doesn't work, let's smash it open." ”
I wasn't sure if there was anything else here, so I turned my attention to Wenmo. Wen Mo squatted down to look at the stone wall and nodded at us.
When Lantern Xiao saw it, he spat and picked up the sapper shovel and thrust it into those translucent gaps a few times. In this way, we gradually widened the gap between the stone and the exit, and then with the strength of a few of us, we pushed hard, and with a bang, the stone blocking the exit was pushed out by us. As I pressed on the stone with all my might, the moment the stone was pushed out, my body was loosened, and I rushed out with the stone due to inertia.
At the moment when I rushed out of the exit with half of my body, my clothes were grabbed by Lantern Xiao and Wenmo who were standing on either side of me. At this time, it was late at night outside, and the bright moonlight was scattered, and by the bright moonlight, I saw that outside the exit, that is, under me, there was a 100-meter cliff, and the stones that we had just pushed out had fallen to the ground in a free fall. A layer of cold sweat immediately oozed from my forehead.
I was pulled back by Lantern Xiao and Wenmo, and I sat on the ground with my butt, and my heart was still beating wildly. If it hadn't been for the Lantern Festival just now, they would have jumped down and hugged the earth. If I die here, this death process will be too much fun. I was so wronged.
Lantern Xiao patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to take a break, while Kong Xue handed me the water. I took a sip and calmed down.
Wenmo and Lantern Festival are studying how to get out. Due to the steepness of the cliffs, we had to rely on ropes to descend.
We have the climbing ropes, but now that Wenmo's equipment and I have been lost, Uncle Kong's equipment has been gone when we find him. In this way, only the equipment of Lantern Xiao and Kong Xue was left, but the length of their climbing ropes was far from enough. So Lantern Festival tore the sleeping bags into strips and then braided them into ropes and tied them together. In this way, I struggled to make it hard, barely long enough, and the remaining three or four meters were really not good, so I could only jump.
We tied the rope to a raised rock at one end, and then used some climbing plugs to secure and insure it, and we started to descend the rope in turn. Everyone else is fine, that is, Uncle Kong doesn't know if he can hold it, but fortunately, although he doesn't seem to be in a very good mental state now, his mood is quite stable. We decided to still let Wenmo take the lead, and Lantern Xiao and I were on both sides of Uncle Kong, so that we could take care of him in case of problems, and finally Kong Xue.
We slowly began to go down the rope in turn, today's weather is very good, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the moonlight Although our current situation is still not very good, compared to the strange ancient tomb, it is simply refreshing.
In the watery moonlight, the Unity Peak looms not far away, towering and reaching into the sky. A gust of cold wind blew, and the barren grass and vegetation on the cliff rustled, but it had a unique charm.
Just as my thoughts were running wild, suddenly a rustling sound came, this voice was so familiar, familiar to my scalp tingling. I hurriedly looked at Wenmo at the bottom, and he nodded at me. Looks like I heard it right.
I hurriedly shouted, "Turn off the flashlight!" Fast! ”
Lantern Xiao was taken aback, "What's wrong again?" It's all here, what else can happen! ”
"Gu newt! It's those newts coming! ”
When Lantern Xiao heard me say this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly turned off the flashlight, "Are you sure you heard me right?" ”
I shook my head, "I hope I misheard, too, but Wenmo should have heard it too." ”
Lantern Xiao's face changed suddenly, he pulled out a short knife, and after thinking about it, he gave me all the remaining glow sticks in the bag.
I smiled wryly at the glow sticks, it might be fine if there were one or two, but based on what I heard, there would probably be no less. But I didn't say it, so as not to put too much pressure on them in advance.
The depression in my heart has really reached its peak, this is a typical just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den!
The sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, and I knew that the light in our hands was not the main attraction to them, and we were all injured to varying degrees along the way, and the smell of blood from these wounds was the main reason for attracting Gu newts.
I cursed in my heart: Even that giant snake didn't kill Lao Tzu, but now it is going to die under the mouth of this group of big insects! I was on the verge of vomiting blood.
So we sped up our downward speed, but we still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the newt was approaching. Just as we were about to fight to the death, all of a sudden, I seemed to see two red balls falling up and landing on the cliff next to us, and then burst open in a dazzling light. I was dazzled by the light. I fixed my eyes and looked again, the red ball burst, and countless burning debris flew everywhere, and we hurriedly hid our heads to dodge. I suddenly realized how this scene was so familiar, I carefully recalled, I went! Isn't this TM a firework bomb!
