Chapter 43: The Secret Realm
Seeing the spoils of war, the barbarians all smiled and walked towards the barbarian camp deep in the woods.
Gao Ge, who watched the pack team leave, was interested in the dozens of strange animals.
This animal must be called Linlu, and he had seen a description of it in a book in the library of the former city lord of Weishan City.
They are tall, not much smaller than horses, but they have two horns on the top of their heads, and the horns are not very thick and long.
As Gao Ge saw, the deer walked in the dense forest, all the way was a steep mountain road, but it was like walking on the ground, don't forget, they can have two people on their bodies!
It was a waste that this kind of divine power was only used as a pack beast, Gao Ge sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, it flashed in his mind that if this was used to build a cavalry, it would be able to show its might in the mountains and jungles!
"You stay still, I'll go up and have a look. Dark Incense's voice came from the shadow of the boulder beside Gao Ge, interrupting his thoughts.
A faint shadow detached from the boulder's shadow and ghostly swept into the shadow of a large tree in front of it.
Gao Ge knew that he would only be a burden if he followed, so he had to lie motionless and wait.
Two quarters of an hour later, Dark Incense's voice sounded again in the shadow of the boulder beside Gao Ge, and the voice was a little hurried: "I followed the camp where the wolf people were holding their captives, and saw Zoranama, Vincent, and the Iron Viper. ”
"Are they all okay, how are the others?" Gao Ge's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.
"I only saw the three of them, they were all injured, but none of them were serious. Dark Incense's voice was still cold and arrogant, "I sneaked up next to the Iron Viper, and he told me that these few days happen to be the day of the 10-year festival of the Black Water Wolf Clan, and they will be killing and worshiping their ancestors by the Black Water Pool for ten consecutive days, praying for the manifestation of the ancestral spirits. The three of them will be killed as sacrifices and thrown into the pool tomorrow night. ”
"We have to save them. Gao Ge said firmly to the shadows.
"How can I save it?!" Darkincense's voice was still cold, "I could sneak in the shadows and cut the ropes for them, but they can't get out, and there are guards everywhere." ”
Gao Ge frowned deeply and said to himself, "No matter what, try it and let me think about it......"
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ge's eyes caught a glimpse of a streamer of lightning shooting towards him.
The feeling of danger pierced his nerves like an ice pick, and he instinctively tilted his head.
"Whoosh!
A flaming rocket passed in front of Gao Ge's eyes and nailed deep into the tree next to him.
The shadow of the boulder was illuminated by the firelight, revealing the figure of Dark Fragrance, and a trace of surprise and panic flashed across her pretty face, which had always been cold and haughty.
The rocket was like a signal, and suddenly, there were fires all around, and the drum noise of the werewolves sounded everywhere.
With a "Teng" sound, a tall figure jumped out of the bushes, it was the totem warrior who was punishing from the altar, and now he had been blessed with the power of the totem, and his body was hideous.
"The Central Plains Pig is actually involved with the demon girl! Fortunately, there is a high priest's sense of demon beads, otherwise you would have really succeeded. Say, who are you going to save!" The tall and thin totem warrior shouted sharply with a knife pointing at Gao Ge and Dark Incense, who could speak the original dialect.
"Hmph!" Dark Fragrance only snorted coldly, and in a flash, she melted into the shadows of the trees.
"Ahh
Dark incense strikes a blow.
At the same time, Gao Ge broke off, and a long Tang-like slash suddenly appeared in his hand, flying towards the tall and thin totem warrior who was spinning around like a headless fly.
One light and one dark, two sides of the attack, between two breaths, the thin and tall totem warrior has been wounded in several places.
At this moment, the barbarian warriors who were lying in ambush had arrived in groups, and more than a dozen torches had dispelled all the shadows, and the dark incense suddenly had nothing to hide.
"Shine a torch on this enchantress! Don't let her touch the shadows of the trees!" the tall, thin totem warrior shouted covered in blood.
The situation suddenly reversed, Gao Ge and Dark Xiang were in danger one after another, and they were almost slashed by a knife several times.
"Let's go!" Dark Fragrance slashed the neck of a barbarian warrior who rushed forward with a sword, and jumped out of the gap with Gao Ge in the hand.
"Leave me alone, run!" Gao Ge whispered to Dark Fragrance as he ran.
After jumping out of the encirclement, there are shadows everywhere that can be used, and Dark Fragrance can use her ability to escape without a trace before the pursuers behind catch up.
"Shut up!" replied Gao Ge with a coquettish cry.
Ahead, there was a faint roar.
"Not good!" Gao Ge secretly complained in his head.
Sure enough, after rushing out of a bush, the black water pool that appeared in front of him was the black pool, which was rising at this time and almost overflowed the shore of the pool.
In the jungle behind him, the firelight flickered, shouts rang out, and the pursuers were about to be killed.
"Jump!" Gao Ge did not hesitate, jumped into the pool, and swam towards the opposite shore.
Dark incense also gritted her teeth and jumped down.
When he swam to the middle of the pool, Gao Ge was in despair.
On the other side, with a loud drum noise and fires, a large number of barbarians appeared, and it turned out that they had already laid an ambush here.
In the middle position, it was the nine-tailed man.
With his command, countless bows were opened, and countless sharp arrows pointed at the singing and dark incense that were sinking and floating in the pool.
At this point, there was no way for them to escape.
Gao Ge and Dark Fragrance glanced at each other, and they both saw despair in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Gao Ge suddenly felt a force under the water begin to pull him.
The barbarians on the shore of the pond let out a series of exclamations.
This force was so strong that Gao Ge couldn't break free at all, and he couldn't help but be wrapped in it and began to spin and sink.
It's that whirlpool!
Gao Ge suddenly remembered the terrible vortex that had swallowed up hundreds of corpses as sacrifices.
It seems that this is a vortex that appears intermittently, and now, it has reappeared, and is about to engulf itself.
The water properties of the dark fragrance are obviously poor, and at this time there is no top, and the black hair floats weakly in the water, and the hands are raised in despair.
"Catch me!" Gao Ge was in a hurry, grabbed Dark Fragrance's hand and pulled her out of the water.
Dark Fragrance coughed violently, apparently choking on a lot of water just now.
Gao Ge began to struggle desperately and in vain, and he put his hands on Dark Xiang's waist and lifted her out of the water.
But the force of the water was too great, and Gao Ge and Dark Incense spun faster and faster, like a rag spinning in a washing machine, and soon disappeared into the water.
Underwater, the huge impact violently swept the two apart, and Gao Ge struggled to surface, but was completely restrained by the rapids underwater, and he was unable to break free at all, so he had to follow the current and spin rapidly underwater.
Immediately after, Gao Ge only felt as if his head had hit something hard, and after several consecutive impacts, his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.
......
I don't know how long it took, Gao Ge woke up slowly, his whole body was sore, his bones seemed to be falling apart, he struggled for a long time before he sat up, and then he saw the environment he was in.
Gao Ge was in a cave at this time, although there was no light from the outside world, but the surrounding stone walls were faintly fluorescent, and these lights were enough for him to see the surroundings clearly.
The cave is about 200 square meters, very spacious, the top of the cave is also very high, there are always more than 20 meters high, there is a pool of water in the cave, about 30 square meters in size.
Although there was no wind, the water of this pool was windless and waves, and the water surface was constantly stirring up layers of ripples, and Gao Ge was lying on the edge of this small pool at this time, half of his body was immersed in the water, and his whole body was wet.
Gao Ge looked at it, and through the clear water of the pool, he could see that there was a school of fish swimming in the pool, flickering east and west, and being extremely agile.
At the bottom of the pool, there is a window-sized stone cave, which leads to somewhere, but you can feel that the power of the water in the pool is coming from this hole.
Gao Ge understood that this pool was connected to the deep pool through this hole at the bottom, and he must have been sucked into this hole by chance to be brought here.
And what about dark incense?
Gao Ge struggled to his feet, shouting loudly, "Dark incense, dark incense!"
The only thing that answered him was the constant echo around him.
Gao Ge searched the entire cave with the faint light of the cave wall again, and then sat down.
Where is Dark Fragrance now, and is she safe?
Gao Ge only felt that his heart was very chaotic.
After a long time, Gao Ge cheered up, that is, if he came, he would be safe.
At this time, Gao Ge felt hungry and thirsty, and hurriedly took out a sheepskin bag of water and some dried fruits, dried meat, and naan from the ring and chewed it.
Hungry and hungry, these ordinary things are so delicious to eat at this time.
Gao Ge looked around as he ate, and suddenly, something flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but slow down his chewing movements, trying to grasp the vague thought.
Yes, I've seen it here!
Gao Ge excitedly took out an object from the ring, which was the parchment map marked with many mysterious numbers from the former city lord's secret vault.
In the past, I couldn't figure out how to research, but now it's all clear.
I used to think it was a snake, but now it seems to be the river above.
I used to think that this place was a mist venom spewed out by a snake, but isn't this the waterfall outside?
I used to think that this round object was a plate with venom, but now it seems that it is not this black pool?
Look, the picture here is the cave where I am now, and this small pond in the cave is also clearly marked, everything is clear.
What did I think before, what snakes, venom, plates, messy, but enough to be cranky, this imagination, can write novels, Gao Ge secretly laughed.
As long as you unravel a letter, you can crack the entire cryptosystem, and once Gao Ge understands this small part of the map and the number, he will have the basis to crack all the maps.
Now that the treasure map has been cracked, it is natural to explore it.
Gao Ge first looked at the map carefully several times, until every detail was deeply imprinted in his mind, then put it away, stood up, and cast his eyes at a lying lion-shaped boulder more than two meters high in the cave.
As shown in the diagram, the boulder should be hiding the entrance to the passage that goes deeper.
