Chapter 104: Remains
The distance of dozens of meters came in an instant, and the cliff that was not real before gradually became clear, and Ji Yueru's heart also sank to the bottom.
Within the reach of Ji Yueru's vision, there was a bare cliff, not to mention it, there was not even a vine branch that she could climb.
There was no way out in front of them, and there were pursuers in the rear, and the situation was so bad that it could not be worse.
Ji Yue accelerated like an oblique thorn, no longer facing the cliff directly, with an oblique angle of more than 30 degrees, desperately rushing towards the cliff, behind him, there was a black pressure on a piece of armor figurines.
In the last few steps, Ji Yue was like a runner, stepping on the cliff with one foot, and the whole person jumped into the air and completed a turn in the air.
Almost at the same time, the halberd swept under Ji Yueru with a strong wind. The armored figurines that were chasing after him had already caught up.
With a hard kick of the foot on the cliff wall, Ji Yueru's body in mid-air soared forward into the air, flew out more than a meter away, and reached the head of the figurine in advance.
Before it could swing its halberd at her, she stomped on the figurine's halberd arm with one foot, stomping it to a halberd, and at the same time, retracting the other foot that had just kicked towards the cliff and kicking it the figurine's visor.
The figurines were kicked by Ji Yueru with the weight of their entire body, and kicked back more than half a meter fiercely, bringing down the three or four figurines that followed it, and immediately caused a small chaos.
And Ji Yueru also took advantage of this force to jump out two or three meters away in the opposite direction.
As soon as she landed, Ji Yueru did not hesitate for a moment, leaned over to avoid a spear stabbed from the side, and ran wildly again.
After going around for half a circle, she didn't find the exit, Xi Yueru was so tired that her feet were weak, and her speed slowed down significantly, and when she looked back at the figurines chasing behind, let alone panting, these dead things didn't even slow down a point.
Fortunately, this group of figurines has no intelligence at all, and they don't know the truth of dividing troops to intercept them, this small half circle went around, originally they came down from the palace to chase Ji Yueru, but now it has become Ji Yueru to flee to the palace, they are all behind her.
Running to the side of the platform at the bottom, Ji Yueru did not go around the front and go up the steps, but took a hand on the edge of the platform, and jumped up with a little force.
When Ji Yueru rushed to the main entrance of the palace in two or three steps, this group of armored figurines had just circled directly under the palace, and there were still three steps away from Ji Yueru.
A black figure under the steps is rushing up the steps, as if filming a grand costume blockbuster, but Ji Yueru, who is here, is really not in a good mood to appreciate the scene in front of her.
didn't have time to take a breath, Xi Yueru was about to push open the door of the hall, but the door suddenly opened from the inside, and two figures jumped out of the crack in the door, almost colliding with Xi Yueru.
Ji Yueru flashed to the side in time, and quickly reached out to pull the two people, saving them from crashing straight into the group of figurines below.
Rushing out of the hall gate were Fang Yuan and Huang Qiuding.
"Hey Yueru, why are you here, uh, what are they" Fang Yuan gasped, looked up and saw Ji Yueru, and asked in surprise. But he stopped halfway through his words, and he had already seen a large army of figurines coming up like a swarm.
"There's no time to explain, hurry up, we'll be dead when they come up." Ji Yueru hurriedly responded, took the hands of the two, and wanted to enter the palace.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan grabbed Ji Yueru's hand and stopped Ji Yueru's intentions, and said in horror, "You can't go in."
Behind us is the thousand-year-old corpse chasing us. ”
"What" Ji Yueru suddenly lost her temper, on one side there were nearly a hundred armored figurines, and on the other hand, the owner of the tomb personally came, "Can you carry this luck a little more?"
After a few words, the figurines at the foot of the stairs had already rushed to the last step, raised the weapons in their hands, and were about to charge the three people standing outside the temple gate.
At the last moment, Huang Qiuding's words suddenly sounded in her ears, and Ji Yueru turned her head to look, only to see her open a wooden box, throw all the gray powder in it towards the oncoming figurines, and then wave her hands from time to time, throwing the Gu worms on her body quickly.
As the last syllable landed, the bodies of the thirty or forty armored figurines who rushed to the front suddenly stiffened, and the steps were immediately blocked. The figurines that followed closely behind couldn't close their legs, and they all hit the bodies of the figurines in front of them.
Although the steps are not small, they can not accommodate nearly 100 figurines, and under the chaos, nearly half of the figurines on the steps fell under the platform.
"Great, it's really you," Ji Yueru slapped her thigh, "How did I forget that you still have the trick of controlling corpse Gu." ”
"Qiuding, work harder, and control the rest of the figurines." Ji Yueru hurriedly said.
"There's only so much you can control." Huang Qiuding shook his head helplessly, pointed to the small cloth bag he was carrying on his body and said, "The corpse control Gu brought from Miao Jiang has been used, and there is no way to replenish the Gu worms now." ”
"Then let these figurines block the steps and block the rest of the figurines." Ji Yueru can only retreat to the second.
Huang Qiu nodded and stopped talking, concentrating on controlling the figurines.
"Fang Yuan, what's the situation behind you, how did you meet a thousand-year-old corpse" Ji Yueru turned her head and asked Fang Yuan, behind the palace gate was the only way for them to get out of trouble, but this thousand-year-old corpse was a huge obstacle.
"After we ran out of the cave, in order to get rid of the four corpse-transformed Yin Maidens, we ran around, and I don't know why, the thousand-year-old corpse came out, and then it kept chasing us." Fang Yuan said, and glanced back at the palace gate, obviously still apprehensive about the experience on the way.
"Fortunately, there is Qiu Ding, several times we were almost caught up by it, and it was up to her to temporarily resist it with Gu worms, otherwise we would have died a long time ago."
"What can I do, the front and back are blocked." Ji Yueru couldn't help frowning and glanced at the situation on the steps.
With the help of the geographical advantage, the controlled figurines can withstand the impact of the remaining figurines for the time being, but Huang Qiuding's little face has begun to roll down beads of sweat, obviously controlling thirty or forty figurines at the same time is definitely not an easy thing.
At this moment, Ji Yueru felt empty in her arms, and something fell out of the hem of her clothes and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ji Yueru looked down and saw that the copper box had fallen to the ground, and the lid of the box had been opened in the process of falling off, and two things fell out.
"What is this" Fang Yuan squatted down and picked up the thing that fell out of the copper box.
One of them is a piece of parchment, which seems to have been treated with a special antiseptic and moisture-proof technique, and although it has passed for thousands of years, it has not decayed in the slightest.
The other thing was a little strange, it was about the size of half a palm, and it looked like the skull of some kind of bird, but the surface was densely engraved with the inscription of a small mosquito fly, and the light was dim, so it was difficult to see what was engraved.
"Where did this come from" Fang Yuan handed the parchment to Ji Yueru, and he took the skull of the bird and leaned under his nose, carefully observing the inscription on it.
"There are white bones on the steps below, this copper box was found from its arms, and there are blood books on the ground next to it, but I haven't studied much of the Chu script during the Warring States Period, and most of the characters are unrecognizable."
Ji Yueru answered Fang Yuan's question while opening the parchment, only to see some simple graphics drawn on it, "It looks like a map"
It was not surprising that it was a map, for a black line began on one side of the parchment and came to an abrupt end when it reached a square-like pattern, apparently because the intruder from a previous life had died on the platform at the entrance of the palace.
"The intruder didn't look like a normal grave robber, and the simple map itself says a lot. Someone came out of the catacombs alive and drew a map of the terrain, and finally the intruder came in with the map, probably not to see the strangeness of the tomb. Ji Yueru analyzed.
"Who is he, and what is the purpose of his coming here" Ji Yueru's heart swelled with countless mysteries.
Ji Yueru raised her head, looked at the silent palace in front of her, and wondered, "What kind of secret is hidden in this murderous tomb?"
"Yueru, I can't hold on anymore." Huang Qiuding's slightly hurried voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ji Yueru's thoughts.
Ji Yueru looked up, Huang Qiuding's little face was already sweating like a waterfall, a few strands of wet hair were sticking to her cheeks, and she was almost using her strength to breastfeed.
At this moment, the sound of hurried running feet suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Bang One"
Before they could react, the door of the temple suddenly opened inward without wind and suddenly, and then, with a strong smell of corpses, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the hall and pounced towards Huang Qiuding, who was struggling to control the figurines.
This Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, is a thousand-year-old corpse.
Ji Yue kicked the ground as quickly as she reacted, and the whole person rushed out a few steps like a cannonball, and then fell sideways, and the whole person slid from the ground, and will catch up with the figure of the thousand-year-old corpse.
Ji Yueru was half a body behind it, her hands couldn't reach it, and in her eagerness, she straightened her waist and kicked her two feet at the waist of the ancient corpse, lifting it up more than half a foot high.
The sharp fingertips of the ancient corpse brushed the back of Huang Qiuding's head, and only a few strands of hair were raised.
"Qiuding, come back quickly, leave those figurines alone." Ji Yueru shouted loudly.
Hearing Ji Yueru's shout, Huang Qiuding sent his hands forward, controlling the thirty or forty figurines to collectively pounce on the bottom of the steps, and immediately threw all the figurines rushing up in front of him to the ground.
The whole staircase was in a mess, and no figurines could rush up for the time being. And the thousand-year-old corpse was sent off the platform by Ji Yueru, and she didn't see its figure for a while.
After doing all this, Huang Qiuding turned around and ran back, and by the way, he also pulled Ji Yueru up from the ground. As for Fang Yuan, he had already taken the opportunity to enter the palace and closed the two doors, leaving only a crack for Ji Yueru and Huang Qiuding to enter.
"Close the door quickly" Ji Yueru followed Huang Qiu and rushed into the palace gate.
When I looked up, the temple was empty, only a shadow wall stood in the middle, and on the left and right sides of the shadow wall there was a passage that went diagonally down into the ground, and behind the shadow wall, there seemed to be an entrance to the mountain.
With a bang, Fang Yuan closed the door of the hall with great effort, and by the way, he also inserted the door bolt with his hands and feet.
