Chapter 105: The Wall of Ten Thousand Bones (3)
While! The sparks were flying, but he didn't stop, the tip of the spear raining down, stabbing countless sparks at the edge of the stone. Lin Ruoxue was not idle, her two swords came out together, and the two of them were like marmots, smashing stones frantically.
Race against death for time...... If they can't keep up with the speed of the yellow sand burial, they will have to be buried alive here as the yellow sand on the ground accumulates higher and higher!
Hurry up...... Faster! Both of their eyes were red, and the yellow sand was falling all over their heads and faces, mixed with sweat to draw black and white furrows on their faces, but neither of them had time to wipe them. I don't know how many hits, maybe a hundred, maybe hundreds. The edge of the stone was finally smashed into potholes, and at this moment, the entire passage was only a foot square under their feet, and it was not shrouded in yellow sandβthe result of their constant kicking of the yellow sand.
"Heh......" Jiang Xian took a deep breath and finally stopped his arms. At this moment, he felt that his arm was sore, and every muscle was wailing. Lin Ruoxue is not much worse, she doesn't have the appearance of the eldest princess of Chaohaitang at all, and her face is as dirty as a Somali refugee.
Almost...... No, I can't wait!
The two of them looked up at the front in unison, and the entire corridor had turned into a golden yellow. As the walls on both sides got lower and lower, the yellow sand almost gushed out. Engulf living beings and turn them into a world of underworld.
Roaring, twisting, all things are equal before death. The two retracted their gaze and glanced at each other, Jiang Xian didn't care about the soreness of his arms exploding, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the crack of the stone with all his might, and stabbed into it steadily.
"ββ!!!" His temples were jumping wildly, and with a loud shout, the stone trembled, and he was actually pried up by this desperate shot. Immediately after that, it gets higher and higher! Until a touch off the ground!
"......Hurry up," Jiang Xian squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, his facial features were distorted a little hideous, his face turned red, and his arms trembled slightly. At the same time as this word first appeared, Lin Ruoxue's short sword flashed and was accurately inserted into the gap.
Salala ...... The huge stone was joined by the two of them, and the gap that was pried up was getting higher and higher! Bigger and bigger! The two of them almost took out the strength in the cracks of their bones, and they knew very well that this kind of thing only happened once! This is the only chance! With this failure, they could not and did not have the opportunity to pry it up a second time.
Kaka Ka Ka ...... Rumble! With a loud bang, the two of them finally lifted the stone and placed it diagonally in the place where it had been placed. Below, there is a dark blue cave. Jiang Xian pulled Lin Ruoxue without hesitation and stuffed it in. Immediately afterwards, he also jumped.
Boom...... The feet are on the ground, and they are not solid, but shaky. However, the trembling heart fell into place.
The fear of the rest of my life, the urgency of life and death, and the exhaustion of doing my best...... made Jiang Xian's whole body seem to fall apart. However, he is well aware that now is not the time to take care of these emotions at all. He didn't care about looking around, squeezed out the last trace of strength, and poked the stone hard, poking the stone almost back to its original position, and then wiped a cold sweat, and collapsed to the ground like a loss of strength.
Thundered...... The dull sound of sand burials was still heard above, but it was so quiet below. It's like a snowstorm night, hiding in the only hut and waiting for the dawn.
The heart thumped and soothed, and the feeling of being alive soaked through the pores in all directions. Jiang Xian collapsed on the ground in a large font, looking up intently, and where he saw was a log arranged together. Like an ancient wooden bridge, I don't know what it was made of, strands of black rope tied these logs together in a row.
Sand...... The yellow sand slowly flowed down with the crevices of the stones that had been pried up. It just flowed between Jiang Xian's forked legs. He gritted his teeth and propped himself up, looking at the yellow sand, which fell into the cracks in the wood below and slid into the endless abyss.
Abyss?
He was stunned, lifted his heavy eyelids, and stood up with his body propped up. Lin Ruoxue's voice came from not far away, and she didn't have half the strength: "You don't want to rest anymore?" β
Jiang Xian shook his head and looked around with a big black umbrella. As a team leader for a long time, this has become his default responsibility, not to mention, this time the team member is Lin Ruoxue.
Lin Ruoxue, who didn't leave him just now and wanted to die with him.
Or...... When I go back this time, let's just pull a certificate...... The thought flashed through his mind, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
The curse is not completely lifted, and marriage is harmful. Even if you have feelings, you have to hold back. Perhaps, because of this, Lin Ruoxue did not force each other hard, and everyone knew how to leave room for each other......
Before the idea fell, Jiang Xian gave himself a slap in the face, when is it, and there is still time to think about this?
Putting his thoughts back on track, he gasped and looked around. This glance made the corners of his eyes tremble slightly.
They...... Standing on a wooden bridge!
On both sides are the fallen walls of tooth fairies, and the candles are still bright. The surroundings are illuminated in a dark blue. In the rear, there is no end in sight to the swarthy darkness, and in the front, there is endless darkness. At your feet, there is an abyss.
They are like walking on a suspended single-plank bridge, with oil paintings hanging on both sides. Moreover, there are more than them on this single-plank bridge.
By the light of the corpse incense candles on both sides, he could clearly see that there were quite a few corpses on the bridge, at least a dozen! Some of the clothes are not rotten yet!
"This should be the team that explored 003 last time." Lin Ruoxue also stood up at some point, walked to his side, and said in a deep voice.
Jiang Xian retracted his thoughts, nodded slightly, and without waiting for him to speak, Lin Ruoxue continued: "Before, there was a question that I hadn't thought about clearly. That's ...... Why are these centipedes afraid of Yaoji? β
"Yao Ji is in human form, if they are afraid of Yao Ji, they will not attack us at all......" She pulled the rope and walked slowly, and said in a deep voice, "They may not be afraid of Yao Ji, but the dragon under her feet." β
Yao Ji's sculpture consists of two creatures: a man and a dragon.
Jiang Xian was thoughtful.
Lin Ruoxue continued: "What if...... Isn't that thing a dragon? β
Jiang Xian frowned: "It's not a dragon, it's still a ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, his pupils suddenly shrank.
What else could it be if it wasn't a dragon?
It could really be something else!
Like what...... The white snake in the First Emperor's Underground Palace! The sea Jiao that is missing, and was killed by Qin Shi Huang in legend!
He had been ignoring the fact that the white snake was there, but ...... No one can prove that it has always been there!
Lin Ruoxue turned around and stared into his eyes: "I've read your exploration report, if the snake that Yao Ji is stepping on is Bai Jiao, then it means ...... Bai Jiao has been here! The creatures here have seen the white Jiao! β
Jiang Xian didn't speak, but his expression was completely solemn.
Song Yunshen gave him the information of No. 003, and he knew very well that there might be a completely different ecosystem underneath. And since it is an ecosphere, there must be an existence at the top of the food chain.
He remembered the information, locust-like creatures that were one meter long, flying insects that were several meters long...... Each one has sharp mouthparts. This ecosystem must be very harsh and want to be the pinnacle of the food chain here......
That ape crane ancestor may be able to do it, but Bai Jiao will definitely be able to do it! And there is no dispute!
Lin Ruoxue's voice became more and more serious: "If it's Bai Jiao, then ...... The sound of scales grinding I heard outside the mountain had an explanation. β
"Also, do you feel it?" Lin Ruoxue sighed: "The temperature down here is getting lower and lower, according to the end, it won't be so low when you go underground." We don't care why it's so low, but ...... If the white Jiao is underneath, it is very likely to cause its hibernation. β
"Suppose, once a year, it wakes up and is tyrannical because there is no food, knocking on the mountain ......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Jiang Xian closed his eyes and took several deep breaths.
If Lin Ruoxue's assumption is followed, then ...... The dwarf spirit sacrifice, the mountain god playing the drum, all have a reasonable explanation! Even why Duck Pass buys more than a dozen tons of cattle and sheep every year has an explanation.
In order to feed the "mountain god"!
"It can't be." After a few seconds, Jiang Xian gritted his teeth and said, "This place has existed for more than two thousand years, since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. If Bai Jiao is here, why does it have a snake molt in the First Emperor's Underground Palace? It's five or six hundred meters! Once such a monster crawls out of the cave, it will definitely be discovered! It is impossible for history not to be recorded! β
Lin Ruoxue shrugged her shoulders: "So, I only said it was possible." But I'm sure it's not Yao Ji that the colorful centipede is afraid of. β
Jiang Xian didn't speak, and only after a few seconds did he divert the topic: "This road should be the Zimu Road of the upper Yongdao." β
He looked up and said slowly, "Below us is the abyss...... It should be in the tear zone of the underground cavern, that is, the underground fissure between two mountains. The Huo family used these logs to build a bridge, and then built a corridor on it. If I'm not mistaken, it's the hanging method. β
"Because the bottom is hollow, the walls on both sides, that is, the Tooth Immortal Ten Thousand Bone Wall, can fall. As it is now, we stepped on the bridge and the wall hung from both of us. After enough time, the wall will rise...... See the pulley above? β
He pointed to the top of his head: "There are pulleys attached under each stone, and when the wall is raised, the pulley set starts." The rocks were all erected and the quicksand fell, which is why we couldn't see any traces when we stepped into the road. β
He looked at the Tooth Immortal Ten Thousand Bone Walls on both sides: "If it rises, you should be able to see the mountain walls on both sides of the underground fissure, that is, the sand bank of the Yongdao - they are connected to the wall, and once the wall falls, the sand of the sand bank will pour down." The pontoon bridge we stood on was supposed to be used for overhauling the bottom of the road. But it became our only chance to escape. β
It's the perfect trap created by the terrain.
Even the six Xuanzi can't be copied.
Lin Ruoxue listened very carefully, and when the last word fell, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Wood? β
"Wood." Jiang Xian looked at the other party with satisfaction, even if it was the first time they cooperated, the other party immediately heard the point.
Lin Ruoxue gently stroked her short hair and said solemnly: "The wood that has not been broken for two thousand years is only the golden silk nanmu." β
"However, the golden silk nanmu was extremely valuable at that time. It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. Jiang Xian's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "It is even more difficult for the princes and nobles to ask for a golden silk nanmu. But how far did we just go? Minimum 500 meters. The bottom is all made of golden silk nanmu! β
Lin Ruoxue pursed her lips and said affirmatively, "Do you think...... The Huo family can't get so many golden silk nanmu? β
"It's not that I think it's impossible!" Jiang Xian said word by word: "At that time, the only one who could get so many golden silk nanmu was ......."
"Emperor Wu of Han!"
"It's a project he did himself!"
