Chapter 147 [Soul Bridge] (I)
The sparrow finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, she lit the lighter, the moment the flame bloomed, she saw the spirit flags hanging around, so frightened that the sparrow threw the lighter in her hand and fell to the bridge deck, to their surprise, the bridge encountered the flames and burned, the flames quickly jumped to the spirit flags inserted on both sides of the bridge deck, and the fire spread at an alarming speed.
After the spirit flag was ignited, the fire expanded at an alarming rate, and the bridge behind them had turned into a fire dragon, frantically chasing their steps.
They had just reached the middle of the bridge, but they saw that the bridge deck in front of them was already burning, and it was no longer possible to reach the opposite side by the long bridge. The blind man jumped off the bridge first, and then reached out to take Luo Lie, who was still unconscious, from Arnold.
The sparrow did not expect that her unintentional mistake would cause such a big disaster, she jumped on the surface of the river, looked down by the light of the burning fire of the long bridge, and saw the frightened and desperate faces under the ice, those souls that had been frozen under the ice for more than a hundred years seemed to be about to break the ice at any time, the sparrow let out a scream of fright, so that her legs were weak, and she could barely move her feet.
The blind man yelled, "Hurry up!" He picked up Luo Hunt and stepped on the ice and ran forward, and Arnold, who finally jumped down, grabbed the sparrow's arm and dragged the frightened sparrow to follow the blind man's footsteps. The fire on the long bridge continued to expand, illuminating both sides of the frozen river, which were covered with spirit flags, which spread rapidly and on both sides of the river.
They were blocked by the fire on their way to the shore, and could only continue on the surface of the river, the fire had extended to the top along the conjuring flag, and the sparrows looked up, but saw more than a dozen coffins hanging more than 20 meters in front of them, and the fire had spread there through the conjuring flag, igniting the rope that bound the hanging coffin, and after the rope broke, the hanging coffins fell from the air one after another, breaking the ice.
Arnold secretly screamed, I don't know if the bottom of the ice surface of this river has been frozen, if there is water under the ice, I am afraid that the impact of the hanging coffin will cause a large area of ice cracking, and they are worried about falling into the water.
The blind man slowed down, but saw a hanging coffin smash into pieces not far away, and out of it rolled out an inflated and deformed corpse, which was twice as large as an ordinary person. The blind man had always thought that his face was big enough, but compared to the corpse in front of him, it was obviously a small thing.
Originally, there was nothing to be afraid of the dead, but the corpse's stomach suddenly bulged, the blind man thought that he was wrong, blinked his eyes, convinced that everything was real, and realized that something was wrong, although he had done a lot of things to pretend to be ghosts in the past, but he had never really encountered ghosts, plus listening to Luo Hunt instilled a lot of atheistic knowledge, he was greatly affected, and the blind man told himself in his heart that there could never be ghosts.
Arnold also noticed the change in the corpse, and exclaimed: "Damn, he has a big belly......" Before he finished speaking, he only heard Peng's sound, and the corpse exploded.
From the corpse's cracked abdomen poured out a black mass, which at first glance seemed to be rotting and degraded organs, but when you looked closely, it was a fist-sized black corpse worm, pouring out like a tide, and then quickly approaching them along the ice.
Arnold was frightened: "Run......"
The fire continued to spread, and the coffins hanging above kept falling on the ice, and the black corpse insects gathered more and more, and thousands of corpse insects covered the surface of the river, chasing the four fresh humans in front of them with all their might.
The blind man's original running speed was not good, and now he was even more affected by Luo Hunt on his back, Arnold threw off his two long legs and ran fast, but after running out of a section, he remembered his companions behind, he gritted his teeth, slowed down, pulled out the shotgun from behind, and aimed at the front of the corpse insect swarm is a shot, the shotgun is quite powerful, one shot hit the corpse insect swarm, and all the firepower within the range turned into powder, and the corpse insects in the rear immediately rushed up, gnawing the corpses of the same kind.
However, Arnold's shot did not have much effect, and the corpse insects followed one after another, and the speed of their movement did not decrease at all. They now suffer from the lack of grenades, and it is difficult for them to deal with so many corpse insects with the weapons in their hands.
The sparrow followed the blind man to take cover, Arnold saw the corpse insect getting closer and closer, and wanted to shoot again, but his eyes fell on the ice, and suddenly changed his mind, this shot aimed at the corpse under the ice, and a shot made a big hole in the ice, exposing the corpse under the ice.
One by one, the corpses burrowed through the holes, scrambling to gnaw at the corpses beneath the ice, the corpses exposed by Arnold's shooting as bait for a temporary attraction to the corpse swarm.
Arnold was already in a cold sweat at this time, if he hadn't been in a hurry and diverted the attention of the corpse insect swarm, I am afraid that he would have been surrounded by corpse insects by now.
They returned to the long bridge, which was now completely burning.
The blind man laid Luo Lie flat on the ice, and then pushed him out hard, Luo Lie's body slid along the ice, through the burning bridge hole to the other side of the long bridge, and the blind man and the sparrow also drilled under the bridge hole one after another.
Arno looked back as he fled, and the swarm of corpses reorganized and chased after him, Arno screamed, and a fish leaped forward, passing under the burning bridge.
The blind man shouted, "Golden Retriever, aim at the middle pier and shoot." ”
Although the long bridge was all burning, it still did not collapse, and only the collapse of the bridge could prevent the corpses from passing through. All three of them took out their weapons and aimed at the pier in the middle, and for a moment sawdust flew wildly, but the pier was unusually solid and still not broken.
The swarm of corpses rushed to the opposite side of the bridge like black water, changing formations and trying to pass under the hole.
The blind man and the sparrow each held up one of Luo Hunt's arms and pulled him to glide on the ice. Arnold fired another shot at the pier with some reluctance, but this shot still didn't work, and the vanguard of the corpse worms had successfully passed through the bridge.
The blind man shouted, "Golden Retriever, run away!"
Arnold answered, strode after him, and suddenly there was a sound of collapse behind him, but the long bridge finally collapsed under the burning of the fire, and the bridge fell on the ice like a fire dragon, and the flames blocked the ice.
The more than 100 corpse insects that successfully passed through the long bridge gave up the pursuit, because the long bridge melted the ice due to the fire, and many corpses sealed under the ice were exposed, attracting the attention of the corpse insects.
The blind man and the sparrow looked back, convinced that the corpse insect swarm had stopped chasing them, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Arnold caught up from behind out of breath, and said breathlessly, "Hurry up...... Come on...... They'll come over after they've eaten......"
The sparrow pointed to the gap on the shore on the right: "There is no fire there." ”
The blind man nodded, took a deep breath, and struggled to pick up Luo Lie, and they quickly walked up to the riverbank, and the sparrow reminded herself to calm down, trying to remember the marks in the map, the river had been marked on the map, and if she remembered correctly, it was not far from the floodway below Fuhai. It's just that she has lost her way, and she can't discern the direction for a while, and the sparrow said, "Where is the northwest?"
The blind man handed Luo Lie to Arnold, took out the golden compass from his arms, and accidentally brought out a jewel necklace. Arnold almost didn't stare out of his eyes, just now when the blind man threw away the bag of jewelry, he was actually moved by his noble personality, sincere comradeship, under his inspiration, he threw away all the treasures he picked up, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this dog can't change to eat, and actually stole so many private goods.
The blind man did not feel guilty at all, picked up the necklace from the ground and hung it directly around his neck, then picked up the compass and looked at it, and pointed after discerning the direction.
Sparrow said: "It should be going this way, according to the mark on the map, there should be a waterway here." ”
The blind man said, "Is this the river?" ”
The sparrow shook his head, clearly in the wrong direction.
The blind man said, "I'll lead the way!"
Arnold said with resentment: "There is fire everywhere, we can see clearly. ”
The blind man glanced at him, but saw Arnold carrying Luo Lie on his back, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. The blind man knew why he was angry, and said with a smile: "You carry it for a while, and I'll replace you when I take a break." ”
Arnold said angrily: "How can you be so shameless as a man?"
The blind man didn't hear it, but pretended to remind his companion, "Go quickly, if the corpse worm catches up, it will be troublesome." ”
Although Arnold was full of resentment, he also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts with the blind man, not to mention that the blind man did not force him to throw away those treasures.
Luo Lie actually reacted at this time, and in a trance, he felt as if he was lying on a rickety boat, opened his eyes, saw firelight everywhere, and thought he was in a dream, he coughed, alarming the sparrow on the side, and the sparrow cried with joy: "Luo Lie, Luo Lie, are you awake?"
Luo Lie nodded, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what had happened during the time he was unconscious, but one thing he knew was that they still hadn't been able to get out of the ground. patted Arnold on the shoulder and motioned for him to put himself down, the blind man leaned over to look at Luo Lie's back, and saw that the skin had darkened more extensively, and said with concern: "What's the matter?
Luo Lie shook his head and moved his arm, feeling that the burned part of his back had become numb. It's just that his body feels weaker than ever, and he can basically conclude that the lamp oil splashed on his body is poisonous, and Luo Lie guessed that it must have been hard work for his companions to bring him here.
