Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Fork in the Road
As soon as I finished speaking, one of the monster's tentacles slapped straight over.
Directly pushed all the pupae in front of him to the ground, and all the pupae who were hit opened their eyes and stood up straight.
Seeing the chrysalis of all the people who opened their eyes in front of them, Xu Jinxiu and I were back to back, although we had guns in our hands, but the two of us didn't dare to shoot rashly.
After all, we still have countless dried corpses above our heads, and who knows if they will wake up in the next second?
Da Lian and her boyfriend were directly blocked in the corner, and Chen Wei and Liu Siyuan were not having a good time.
"Roar!"
The huge monster roared again, and its tentacles wrapped directly around me and Xu Jinxiu.
I didn't expect a group of us to be in danger here, Liu Bao is still wrapped around the tentacles of that monster, and we have to rescue him now.
Looking at the tentacles that were getting closer and closer to us, Xu Jinxiu directly raised the long whip in his hand, wrapped around a figure and threw it towards the tentacle.
Just as we were concentrating on dealing with the monster, a chrysalis stood up and pounced directly on the two of us.
At the critical moment, Liu Siyuan shot directly, and the chrysalis burst directly in front of me.
However, the vibration caused by the gunshot directly caused the dried corpses hanging on it to fall one after another, and they opened their eyes directly the moment they landed.
"It's not a way to go on like this, see the door behind it, after saving Liu Bao later, we'll go out from there."
All I could see was a door behind us, and that was our only way out.
Xu Jinxiu nodded and looked at Liu Bao above the tentacles.
"I attacked the monster's head with a gun, and you took the opportunity to go over and save Liu Bao."
Xu Jinxiu looked at me with a serious expression.
The dagger in my hand slashed, and a man rushed in front of me and was dismembered by me.
"Okay."
I nodded in agreement, and shouted to Liu Siyuan and Chen Wei to ask them to open the door.
Peng~
A gunshot rang out, and the huge monster was shot in the eye by Xu Jinxiu, and I took this opportunity to go directly to the monster.
At this time, Liu Bao had completely fallen into a coma, and if he woke up now, maybe it would be easier for us to get out of trouble.
"Roar"
The monster seemed to have spotted me, too, and lowered its head and tore at me.
And the figures around it actually formed a circle directly, blocking the side of the monster.
I cursed in my heart, it seems that I have to do everything today.
Thinking of this, I directly swung the knife in my hand and stabbed at the monster, and the monster didn't seem to expect me to attack suddenly, and was caught off guard and stabbed a tentacle directly by me.
"Roar"
The pain grew, and the monster was furious, raised its head and roared at me, and then its entire mouth cracked, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, and the monster's head became like a small mountain, pressing down on me.
But fortunately, because of the pain, Liu Bao was directly released by it, and I also had the opportunity to carry Liu Bao on his back.
Xu Jinxiu directly shot the monster in the head with a gun.
"Don't hit him in the head, hit him in these two tentacles."
Just now, I also discovered that the most sensitive part of this monster is not in the head, nor in those tentacles on the head.
Rather, these two thigh-like antennae that supported his entire body.
As long as this thing is broken, then this monster will definitely not survive.
"Okay, be careful."
Xu Jinxiu nodded, and I ran to the other side with Liu Bao on my back.
Xu Jinxiu took advantage of this gap and swept directly at the two tentacles of the monster.
"Bang Bang Bang"
A series of gunshots, the two tentacles were directly broken, the monster suddenly lost its balance and fell directly to the ground, and the surrounding people who were about to pounce on the chrysalis and dried corpses were also pressed under the monster.
Seeing this, I hurriedly pulled Liu Bao to dodge.
Xu Jinxiu and I took the opportunity to escape from the encirclement, and as soon as we left, the monster got up again and glanced at us.
At this time, Liu Siyuan and Chen Wei had already opened the door, and Da Lian took the opportunity to arrange the explosives, which were directly ignited shortly after we passed through the door.
Rumble......
The flames soared into the sky, spreading instantly, and the figures and dried corpses who were still about to rush up were directly destroyed by the firelight.
When the smoke cleared, I realized that we were unknowingly in the depths of the dungeon.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of here first."
I turned my head to Xu Jinxiu and Liu Siyuan and said.
Xu Jinxiu nodded, but after seeing the murals around him, the whole person was stunned.
I followed her gaze, and all I could feel was a little tingling in my scalp, because the mural was full of people worshipping around a monster with the head of a cow and a human body.
At this time, I even had some doubts, is the treasure that became the mouth of the mouth here?
And not long after we walked, I felt the ground tremble slightly under my feet.
I came back to my senses and looked at Xu Jinxiu, her expression was a little strange, and her brows were even more furrowed.
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
"I can feel that there are a lot of people chasing us, they are very fast, I'm afraid they will get here soon."
After hearing these words, I chuckled in my heart, and sure enough, it was Xu Jinxiu, and I could detect the strength of the enemy just by breathing.
"Don't panic, I have a way to hold them back."
I comforted Xu Jinxiu.
I glanced at the terrain around me, and we were still in the middle of the tunnel.
I took a few packets of explosives from Da Lian's hands and asked them to walk towards the front with Liu Bao first, and I will arrange the explosives here.
"Will this thing work?"
Liu Siyuan was a little worried, after all, he had never seen me plant the explosives in person.
"Don't worry, this thing can kill these guys."
I swore that my own skill level, I knew in my heart that I was sure that I could set it up in a minute, and then detonate it.
"Okay, take care."
Liu Siyuan also knew that the things I decided basically couldn't be changed, so he walked forward directly with Xu Jinxiu.
I crouched on the ground, my hands on my cheeks, carefully observing my surroundings.
The shaking was getting more and more obvious, and it should be that the dry corpses that had not been blown up before were chasing after the figures.
Of course, the weight of the explosives must not be too large, otherwise the entire underground palace will be blown up directly.
After a simple arrangement, I realized that I did not have a fire source in my hand that could ignite the explosives.
I felt a bitterness in my heart, and when I looked up and looked ahead, the dried corpses and figures had faintly appeared in front of me.
"Bad luck."
I cursed, thanks to the fact that I still have a pistol in my hand, it is not a problem to detonate these explosives.
Looking at the dry corpses getting closer and closer, I hurriedly retreated behind me, and when I had retreated to a safe distance from the explosion, the gun in my hand was aimed directly at the explosive bag.
The moment the corpse approached, it was directly shot and ignited.
Bang......
The violent concussion made me can't help but cover my ears.
At the same time, the dried corpse was also blown away, and other dried corpses and human chrysalis were also affected and fell down one after another.
The top of the roof collapsed directly, blocking the entire passage.
Just when I was relieved, I realized that there was water flowing out of the place where I had just blown up.
Seeing this situation, my heart sank, could it be that the water of the underground river was directly drawn out?
But we're on top of a cliff?
Without half a minute of hesitation, he chased after Xu Jinxiu and them directly behind him.
In about three to five minutes, I ran to a fork in the road.
scolded my mother directly in my heart, and Xu Jinxiu didn't leave any traces, which made it impossible for me to confirm which way Xu Jinxiu and them took.
I stood and wandered from side to side, but I didn't dare to take a step forward, for this place was no less dangerous than the previous tomb.
"Damn, I don't care!"
I stomped my foot hard and chose one of the directions and chased after him.
There were no obstacles along the way, but it was unimpeded, but this feeling always made me feel a little strange.
I always feel that I am getting farther and farther away from Xu Jinxiu and them, and this underground palace is like a labyrinth, and it will not take long for another fork in front of me to appear.
I felt a pang of anguish in my heart, who designed this?
But fortunately, I have been wandering around this ancient tomb for many years, and I am more comfortable dealing with these things.
After a while, I found a way to survive and walked towards the one on the left.
But I didn't expect that this road was not the road that led to Xu Jinxiu and the others, but a high platform.
I was wondering when I suddenly found a stone tablet.
"The Gate of Eternal Life."
When I saw these three words, I only felt a chill in my back.
I think I'd heard it from my grandfather, and I remember him mentioning it once when I was younger.
After looking around, I found that there was nothing on the high platform except this stone monument.
And there was no road in front of me, only the exit when I first entered.
Could it be that we have reached a dead end?
But it shouldn't be, I just saw that this is a way out.
How did it come to be like this for no reason?
I squinted and looked around, and the only thing that stood out was the stele.
Could it be that the surroundings of this stele or the stele itself are a mechanism?
I took a flashlight and shone it at the stele, and suddenly I felt an eerie cold wind blowing on my cheeks, and goosebumps rose all over my body.
Click......
My flashlight fell to the ground, and I stared at the stele with wide eyes, and under the illumination of the flashlight, the stele was projected on the wall behind me to form a word.
It's just some ancient texts, and it's a little more difficult to recognize.
"Is this gossip?"
It took me a turn to find out.
As long as there is a light source, the eight characters in the gossip will appear when this stone tablet is projected in different directions.
What secrets are hidden here?
