Chapter 19: Darkness and Light in the Distance
Lu Lie touched the cold, slippery jade talisman on his waist. He smiled bitterly in his heart: The reason why Lao Tzu was able to use his thoughts in front of him was completely because a blind cat met a dead mouse. I don't know when I'm going to bump into such a big luck again next time, I can't just happen to tear my face with the cannibal, and it just so happens that I will use this trick, right?
But he still whispered, "Got it." Thank you. ”
A very beautiful voice paused in the darkness and replied softly, "Thank you." If it weren't for the current situation, do you think I would be willing to join forces with you little scoundrel?"
Lu Lie smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." But he became more and more worried: it was very strange in this tree hole, and he didn't know what danger lurked ahead. Four of the five of us were badly wounded and incapacitated, and the only one who was still largely intact was hell-bent on killing us. Props like the "Shiki-rune" were supposed to be used to protect everyone, but they had to be used to kill each other.
He glanced at the very beautiful silhouette around him again, and thought to himself: The origin of this very beautiful is also very suspicious. She is obviously a mystic, why does she carry such props as a rune on her body? And judging by her conversation, she should have been pampered since she was a child, and why would the eldest lady of a large family come to this ghost place to take risks? Not only did she use a pseudonym, but she also seemed to deliberately avoid the purpose of her coming here. It's foggy.
That's it. Li Yuan claims to be a magic fruit hunter but is proficient in secret arts and gods, and Yang Wei is honest and loyal on the outside, but in novels, isn't it often that the more such people are, the more insidious and cunning they are? Now that I think about it, among these four people, I know the most about them, but they are cannibals. It's ironic.
Among these five people, except for Li Yuan, who was already stupid, they had their own concerns and hurried steps along the way. I don't know how long I walked in the darkness like this, but suddenly the cannibal at the back said in a hoarse voice: "You stop for a moment, I see two candles in front of me." ”
Yang Wei's eyes widened, and he said blankly: "Light...... Where? Why don't I see it at all?"
It stands to reason that in such a dark cave, as long as there is a little light, it will be particularly eye-catching. But Lu Lie had seen how terrifying the cannibal's eyesight was, and knew that it was almost impossible for him to be mistaken. He stopped. It is very beautiful to hold with one hand, and grab Li Yuan's rope with the other. Li Yuan, who was walking happily in the dark, was forced to stop and made a big noise: "Why don't you let me continue walking? Not happy! Not happy! Far from being happy!"
"There is not even the sound of animals fluttering in this hellish place, and there will be candle flames. Lu Lie said in a deep voice, "Could it be that there are still people who have come here besides us?" I think this candle flame is very suspicious, whether you want to move forward or not, you still need to observe." ”
"But we desperately need light. "Very beautiful put forward the opposite opinion," Yang Wei was seriously injured and needed to go to a visible place to treat the wound. We lost so much in the scuffle, and we urgently needed to calculate what we had left over to feed us for a few days. And it's gloomy in the dark, and I always feel ...... Something was watching us just a short distance away. It's better to hurry to the candle flame. ”
"I don't care, don't worry about my ......," Yang Wei said in a low voice, "When I was in Kanto, I was seriously injured than now, and I didn't survive well...... I think Superbrother is right, it's so suspicious that there is a candle flame here all of a sudden. I, Yang Wei, am a reckless man and have no brains. Super Little Brother's mind is much more flexible than mine, and I'm willing to listen to him. ”
All of a sudden, the opinions of the five people were different, and they could not advance or retreat from standing still.
Lu Lie was silent for a while: "Since no one can convince anyone, let's vote." If you want to move on, knock on the ground, and if you want to stay there and watch, knock twice. Abstain from keeping silent. ”
As he had finished speaking, he crouched down, hammered his hand, and tapped it twice on the cold, stiff ground.
Immediately after him, Yang Wei also reached the ground with his hand and simply knocked twice.
Shimei was silent for a while, and said, "The opportunity is fleeting. We hesitated here, and in a moment the candle flame was gone, and we could no longer find it. She immediately flicked her fingernails on the ground.
"Now it's one to two. Lu Lie said, "It seems that we should indeed stay and rest for a while." ”
At this moment, there was another crisp knocking sound from the rear.
"Elder Bird?" Yang Wei said in surprise, "You also think you should move forward immediately?"
In the darkness, there were two noncommittal sneers from the cannibal. Obviously, he didn't care whether he moved forward or not, he just wanted to make this team as chaotic as possible.
"Two to two, it's flat. Super little brother, what should I do now?" Yang Wei's IQ was obviously insufficient, and he asked in distress.
Before Lu Lie could speak, Li Yuan made a big noise: "Why don't you leave! You don't want to leave, don't hold me." I'm not allowed to go yet!"
"Hee-hee. Very beautiful couldn't help but sneer, "How about it, listening to what Li Yuan meant, he is also in favor of moving forward immediately." It's three to two, right?"
"Nonsense!" Lu Lie said coldly, "Li Yuan looks like a child now, and it is estimated that he does not have Yang Wei's brain. How can he be counted?"
Yang Wei: "......"
Obviously very beautiful, when she was on land before, she was able to hold back her temper and bargain with Lu Lie, and now it is good. At that moment, the willow eyebrows were raised, and the eldest lady had a temper attack: "This is not allowed, that is not allowed." Then I think you just wait where you are, wait to starve to death! Anyway, if you stay where you are, there is no danger at all. There are so many big men here, and I don't have the courage to be a woman! If you don't go, I'll go ahead and explore the way alone. ”
She slammed Lu Lie's hand away at the moment and walked straight ahead. Lu Lie was startled, and took a few steps forward to catch her: "Don't be impulsive! If you want to go, you have to go together, in this darkness, the lone person is too easy to be attacked......"
"Huh. Isn't that great? The cannibal said in a yin and yang weird manner, "Let her yellow-haired girl go to the front to explore the way." If she survives, it means it's safe, and it's not too late for us to get there. If she dies there, there is something wrong with the candle. She saved all four of us with one life, isn't it great? ”
Lu Lie wanted to grab a very beautiful hand. But where did he find it in the dark?
Hearing the girl's footsteps getting farther and farther away, it was evident that she had strode in the direction of the candle flame.
