24. a knife
Liang and I turned off our headlights and quietly lurked in the darkness of the cave, pressing my hand to the diving blade on my waist to make sure I could defend myself with a knife at any moment.
The sound of the rustling was not real at first, and it seemed to be still far away, but soon it became louder and louder from far to near.
I could feel my heart beating wildly, almost jumping out of my throat, and the beams around me were terrified and trembling uncontrollably.
I hurriedly pressed her body and whispered, "Don't shake, don't be found by that thing!" β
Xiao Liang bit her lip and nodded, but her body still didn't listen, and I could only hug her tightly so that she would not make a sound because of the violent tremors.
Soon, the sound of rustling came near, and I smelled a foul smell, which must be the body odor of the golden-faced dwarf.
Then a dim light flashed into the hole, it should be the light source brought by the golden-faced stranger, I looked at the light, and immediately gasped!
I saw that the five-short monster, holding a flashlight-like lighting tool in his hand and wearing a mask of gold leaf on his face, was standing at the entrance of the cave, cautiously probing inside.
It seemed to sense that there were people in the cave, who had come to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
When I thought of Lao Zhang dying at its hands and the picture of him strangling Xiao Lingwei in the water, I was terrified.
This strange monster is obviously a murderous demon who doesn't blink!
At this time, Xiao Liang and I lurked in the darkness of the cave, silently praying in our hearts that the golden-faced dwarf would not see us.
But it was obviously smarter than we thought, and after looking at the entrance of the cavern for a while, it soon spotted a peculiar puddle of "water stains" on the groundβthe alkaline solution I had just used to heal the trabeculae.
This evidence directly proves that there are people in the cave! The golden-faced dwarf immediately stepped into the cavern!
At this moment, my heart is going to jump out!
Because once it enters the cave, it will see us as soon as it turns around!
At the last moment, I can't be afraid!
There is a saying that the first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers!
At this time, the enemy is dark and I am clear, it is a good time to surprise and attack it unprepared!
Regardless of whether it is a human or a ghost, first reward it with a set of three-plate axes that bite gold!
Thinking of this, I turned my heart sideways, pulled out the diving blade on my waist suddenly, pressed the headlamp on my head, and used the light to shake the eyes of the golden-faced dwarf, and at the same time roared, and it was a jump slash towards it!
"Death to the master!"
The golden-faced dwarf was obviously startled by me, and suddenly his eyes were suddenly shaken by the light of the headlamp, and he was caught off guard, so he could only take two steps back and raise his arm to resist my diving blade!
The cold light flashed, and the blade fell!
Suddenly, a terrible scream came!
"Whewββ!"
The diving blade saw blood on the spot, and in the cold light of the headlamp, I saw that the blood of the golden-faced dwarf was also red.
To be sure, this monster is not invulnerable, it is not as scary as I thought.
After tasting the sweetness, I stepped forward and kicked the thing in the chest, followed by another stab!
"Die!"
The golden-faced dwarf was slashed in the shoulder by me again, and he fell to the ground and crawled, wrapped in alkaline solution.
Just as I was about to stab again, the dwarf grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at my face, and while I was on my side to dodge, he struggled to get up and run away.
Although it had short legs, it was not slow to run, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the corridor outside the cavern.
Because there were still beams to take care of, I didn't rush to catch up.
After this fight, my heart was pounding, and I felt like I was going to jump out of my chest.
At this time, Xiao Liang hurriedly ran over nervously, hugged my shoulder and asked:
"Chen Rongsheng, are you okay? You're not hurt, are you? Show me! β
I smiled and shook my head, "It's okay, it's not hurt." Did you see that? I literally hung it up and beat it, and if it hadn't run fast, I could have killed it on the spot! β
Xiao Liang blushed and said, "I...... I didn't dare to look at it, I was afraid ......"
When I heard this, I was speechless.
The scene of buddy gods descending to earth has no audience, which is really a waste of feelings.
Then Xiao Liang asked again: "Then do you see it clearly?" Is it a kappa or a dwarf mule? β
I shook my head and said, "That thing has been wearing a mask and can't see clearly." β
Speaking of which, I looked down and checked the diving blade, and saw that the blood stains on the blade were bright red, not like the blood of some mountain spirit monster, but like human blood.
"What color is the blood of a kappa? Is it red too? I asked Xiaoliang.
Xiao Liang shook his head: "How do I know?" I haven't cut a kappa again. β
But I was proud and smiled and said, "Hehe, so I'm the one who cut the kappa too." β
After this battle, I suddenly felt less afraid, because it turned out that the golden-faced dwarf was not without weaknesses, and it could not carry Lao Tzu's diving blade.
At that time, I was young after all, and I was not a teenager.
I was so confident in the fight that I wanted to hunt down the monster.
I pointed to the blood on the ground and said, "Let's go, Xiaoliang, let's go and grab it and take a look, won't we know if it's a kappa or not?" β
Xiao Liang looked at me with a broken face, and said in a trembling voice: "Chen Rongsheng, I beg you not to play this joke on me. β
I said I'm not kidding, that thing is already injured, and I can't let it slip away while it's sick!
After saying that, I grabbed Xiao Liang's hand and took her to follow the blood.
Xiao Liang was afraid and didn't dare to refuse me, because if she didn't go with me, she would be left alone, so she could only persuade while hurrying:
"Chen Rongsheng, don't be impulsive, I think the most important thing for us now is to meet Officer Jiang and them first."
I shook my head and said, "You don't understand, this golden-faced dwarf will always pose a threat to us as long as he lives, just now it dug a wall to divert water to flood us, if we let it go, we will still be plotted, only by getting rid of it can we be completely safe." β
Xiao Liang was gradually persuaded by me, but still said nervously: "But...... You can't fight it alone! β
I said I'm not alone, don't I still have you?
At this time, Xiao Liang had nothing to say at all, so he had to follow behind my ass with fear.
After about twenty minutes of chasing along the trail of blood, I gradually heard the sound of rustling again, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that I was about to find the three-inch nail.
I immediately quickened my pace and chased after Xiao Liang with him.
Turning a road, a large burial chamber appeared in front of him.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a sarcophagus that had just climbed up the center of the burial chamber with the three-inch nails, as if trying to hide inside to treat the wound.
Seeing us coming after us, it lifted its golden-masked face and stared at us from afar.
I slowly pressed my hand on the diving blade on my waist, and was just about to draw my sword, when I heard the strange golden-faced dwarf actually speak!
I only heard its hoarse voice and speak clearly to us:
"I've been sleeping here for a thousand years, why are you disturbing people's dreams?!"
"Don't leave quickly!"
