Chapter 42: Escape by Cutting into the Wall
"Quick, get out of here!"
Zhang Tao's expression was solemn, pulling the stupid big man forward, thinking nervously about everything in front of him, the back road was cut off, they could only rush forward blindly, there was no choice.
It was as if when they stepped into this corpse water area, they were restricted by some kind of restriction, and they could only move forward and not retreat.
Moreover, the corpse water below also has a strange ability to absorb the power of qi and blood, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where you will never recover.
"Brother Zhang, when will we be able to escape?"
Pang Shaoyuan's face was pale, and the aura emanating from his body gradually withered, and he was a little unable to follow behind the other party, stepping on the corpse water with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The foul-smelling viscous liquid on his body affected his physical state all the time.
After running for hundreds of meters in one breath, he was really weak and his legs were floating, and he almost fell into the corpse water below him again.
However, the situation is not optimistic, and the foul-smelling, rotten, sticky corpse water is still rising rapidly.
Before I knew it, it had risen from the calf to the knee.
At this rate, it didn't take half a pillar of incense for Zhang Tao and them to be completely submerged and die under the endless mountain of corpses and blood.
"There seems to be a force here that prevents us from going back, cutting off our way out!"
Zhang Tao's face was extremely bitter, and the qi and blood in his body were flowing rapidly, which made him feel a little unbearable, if he couldn't come up with a way to deal with it, the two of them might really have to be damaged in this dark and dirty secret passage.
knew that he didn't just jump down the secret passage, and accidentally fell for the conspiracy of Feng Niang's demon girl.
At this moment, he was in such a dangerous situation, how could he not understand that he had fallen into a trap carefully designed by the other party!
"桀桀桀~"
In a trance, Zhang Tao heard a strange strange laughter inexplicably sounding in his ears, intermittently, looming, appearing a hundred meters away in the last second, and appearing in his ears as if he was close at hand in the next second.
"What the hell is this sound?"
His brows furrowed, his pace did not stop, and he continued to walk deeper into the passage without giving up.
As the strange laughter in his ears became more frequent and clearer, Zhang Tao felt as if a magic sound had poured into his ears, and his consciousness began to become a little confused and blurred.
And Pang Shaoyuan, who was sluggish, was even more unbearable, his eyes were scattered, and he was holding the machete in his arms with a smirk, and he was about to wade into the corpse water under him.
"I'm so tired, I'm so cold, I'm home, I'm going to lie on the bed and sleep for a while...", he muttered to himself, like a dream.
At this moment, Zhang Tao felt that the cyan ancient jade hanging from his waist began to heat up, and gradually became hot, and under a stirring spirit, he suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Be careful! You don't want to die! ”
It's too late, it's too soon!
At the last moment, he reached out in time to grab Pang Shaoyuan's placket to prevent the other party from sliding directly into the corpse water.
When he regained his senses, he realized that the two of them had stood motionless at some point, and the corpse below them had reached their waists.
And on their hair and robes, there are strange speckled traces of liquid, and they exude a disgusting smell all the time.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao raised his hand and touched his head, and suddenly found that the soil above his head was dripping liquid, like a drizzling rain, constantly drenching their clothes.
Tick ~ tick ~ The strange sound of dripping water, in the silent and dark corridor, from far to near, as if someone's faucet was not turned off tightly, sounded intermittently.
"Damn, the sound of water droplets has the power to affect people's minds..."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tao instantly had an understanding in his heart, knowing that the two of them were in a panic, accidentally came to this dripping area, drenched the liquid dripping above, and were confused by the sound of dripping water in the corridor.
And Pang Shaoyuan couldn't wake up from the illusion for a while because of the serious loss of qi and blood, and his breath was sluggish, and he was still immersed in his own world, and let out an intoxicated laugh stupidly.
"The retreat is cut off, and the exit is unknown..."
At this time, Zhang Tao only felt dry mouth and inexplicable irritability, in this desperate place where the sky should not be called the earth, he couldn't think of a way to escape in his head.
The situation was urgent, and time was running out for him.
As the body submerges more and more parts of the corpse water, the faster the body's qi and blood power is consumed.
Faintly, Zhang Tao saw that in the corpse water under him, there seemed to be a figure flashing, and all kinds of twisted and painful human faces rolled and flashed in the corpse water, with cruel smiles, crying, wailing, cursing, and different expressions.
However, they all have one thing in common on their faces, and that is that they are full of pure resentment and malice.
They stared at Zhang Tao and Pang Shaoyuan, silently, making people shudder!
Whenever the qi and blood power in Zhang Tao's body was consumed, they would let out a strange laugh of excitement, as if they were expecting Zhang Tao and the others to die soon and become part of their big family.
What a warm and sincere gaze!
"So you're doing the trick..."
Obviously, the corpse water in this corridor does not want to be as quiet as it seems, and there are countless resentful ghosts surging under the waves.
They entangled and fused with each other and gradually formed this terrifying corpse water, and the corpse water became their carrier, and invisibly restricted their freedom, trapping them in this place, endlessly tortured and devastated, unable to enter reincarnation, reincarnated.
A monstrous stream of resentment continued to rise from the corpse water, infecting the land.
"Since there is something wrong with this corpse water, then I will touch you..."
Staring at the flickering resentful grimace in front of him, Zhang Tao suddenly had an idea in his mind, that is, to leave here, not to soak his body in water, as long as there is no contact, this terrible corpse water will not be able to absorb the qi and blood power in his body and continue to rise.
Such a water without a source and a tree without roots cannot last long after all!
Seeing this, he took out the last two beads of qi and blood from his arms, his eyes were firm, and he swallowed one without hesitation, and stuffed the other into Pang Shaoyuan's mouth.
Qi and blood beads can not only increase a year's internal force cultivation, but also contain sufficient and massive qi and blood power.
In particular, in the case of a loss of qi and blood, it can quickly restore the lost qi and blood.
With the churning power of qi and blood in his body, Zhang Tao's eyes flashed, ready to make the last fight!
"Brother Pang, if you don't wake up at this time, when will you stay?"
The roar like a thunderbolt on a sunny day exploded in Pang Shaoyuan's ears, instantly scaring him and waking him up from the resentful spirit illusion.
"We're out?"
The moment he woke up, he immediately noticed the power of qi and blood rushing in his body, and then he found the corpse water that overflowed his waist, and suddenly realized that he had not left this dangerous place.
"Can you use a broadsword to cut a hole in this wall?"
Zhang Tao didn't say much, and after seeing him wake up, he directly said what he thought.
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, he began to use his fists as a tool, constantly bombarding the walls around him, as long as there was a place to stay, they could temporarily get rid of the infestation of corpse water, and then there would be plenty of time to think of a way.
"No problem, I'll leave this matter to me!"
Seeing this, Pang Shaoyuan nodded seriously, and the nine-tooth chain machete clenched in his right hand was waved with a clattering sound.
In the next second, the walls on both sides, which were as hard as stubborn stones, were as easy as cutting tofu under his big knife, and in the blink of an eye, a hole half a foot wide was dug out of the wall.
"Good!"
Zhang Tao was overjoyed, his movements were agile, he used his hands instead of his feet, jumped out of the corpse water, and climbed on the wall.
Seeing this, Pang Shaoyuan was dazzled by the big knife in his hand, and dug three large holes in the wall of the corridor, enough for him to stand on the wall.
As the two of them were out of the range of the corpse water, they felt the qi and blood flowing through their bodies begin to return to normal.
"Brother Zhang, you are so smart, you can come up with this solution..."
After temporarily getting out of danger, Pang Shaoyuan looked at Zhang Tao with a look of admiration, he knew in his heart that the other party had saved his life again, and the power of qi and blood in his body was the best proof.
Hearing his praise and praise, Zhang Tao didn't speak, but frowned and thought about a way to get out of here, they are only temporarily out of danger, although they got rid of the invasion of corpse water, but this secret passage is weird and abnormal, who knows if there will be other dangers?
If they're not careful, they could stay here forever!
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Pang Shaoyuan did not feel any displeasure, but felt that Zhang Tao's frowning appearance was full of wisdom.
This is the brilliance of the wise!
No wonder the master wants to let himself go down the mountain to experience, only by crawling on the rivers and lakes and experiencing the rolling red dust, can he make up for his shortcomings.
He thought about it, showed a look like this, and muttered, "Sure enough, what the master said is right!" ”
"We're only safe for the time being..."
Zhang Tao's face was expressionless, his eyes staring at the corpse water below, and the two of them were like two geckos lying motionless on the wall.
However, as they left the corpse water, the resentful yin spirits immersed in the corpse water began to run wild, and countless yin spirits opened their bloody mouths, roaring to the sky, and letting out terrible and painful screams.
In the next second, the calm corpse water was like boiling water, tumbling violently, mixed with a terrifying wail and swept towards the wall where Zhang Tao and the others were.
"Damn, the ghosts in the water are rioting... Leave us alive at all! ”
Seeing this, Zhang Tao's face changed suddenly, and the bad premonition in his heart finally happened, and the ghosts and ghosts here didn't want to let them go at all.
"Brother Zhang, since the corpse water is starting to roll, then let's climb higher, it's really not possible, we can dig a passage above our heads to get out."
Listening to the sound of the turbulent water splashing against the wall in his ears, Pang Shaoyuan didn't care, shook the machete in his hand, and said seriously: "This physical work can be handed over to me!" ”
After speaking, without giving Zhang Tao a chance to react, the sharp big knife in his hand had already chopped the earth and stones above his head.
Zhang Tao didn't know what kind of weapon the nine-tooth serial knife in the other party's hand was, sharpening iron like mud, and the earth, stone and mud blocks above it were like paper paste in front of the other party, and the gravel fell with a bang.
In a few moments, a passage wide of one person appeared above their heads.
As the passage appeared, Zhang Tao keenly noticed that the walls around them also began to ooze liquid, and his whole body was moved, and at this moment, he had another illusion, this black rumbling corridor seemed to come to life.
"Quick, don't stop, keep digging up, I feel something bad is going to happen," he urged, anxiously.
The Haoran True Intent that was warm in his body was throbbing wildly at the moment, constantly prompting him of danger warnings, reminding him that great danger was coming.
If it weren't for the eight-sided iron sword on his body that was lost in the Quartet Gambling House, he would have turned into a ruthless piledriver, rushing this thick passage out of a thoroughfare.
"Good!"
At this time, Pang Shaoyuan also felt that danger was coming, and his strength increased, and the machete in his hand flew up and down, dazzling Zhang Tao, and his eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the other party's waving knife.
"Peng!"
There was a dull explosion, and the machete slashed at a thick object, hindered.
"Brother Zhang, I seem to have chopped it to a log...", he frowned slightly, and said suspiciously.
