Chapter 54: Rendezvous
The burned-out hole may be a way to escape, but it can also be seen as a dead end, because all the corpse wax is tilted in the hole, and it won't be long before the bottom of the hole will be completely ignited.
Fortunately, the burning point of the corpse wax is very low, so it is only those falling wax corpses that are rapidly deflagrating, but this is just the moment, and it is only a matter of time before the corpse wax is ignited.
I don't want to wait another second, I'm in a race against time. However, just as I rushed to the cavernous cavern, I saw the black shadow rushing towards me as well, apparently trying to escape through the opening.
Lou Yuluan has already gone down to the cave, if this strange black shadow is allowed to escape in, then Lou Yuluan is likely to be dangerous, I will never let such a thing happen.
From the moment the wax corpse burned, I had already seen the weakness of this strange black shadow, which seemed to me not only to be faintly afraid of fire, but to have a deadly threat to it.
The black gas on its body is obviously flammable gas, and the residual cinnabar powder around it is also extremely flammable, and half of the black shadow at this time is burning with a trace of flames, if it is allowed to escape into the hole, everything will be over.
"Ahem...... Want to escape...... There is no ...... door! "I stepped straight into the way of the black shadow, and held the dragon's claws in front of me.
I knew that the black shadow's body was uncertain, but I still had to stop it, because I really had no better way to deal with it, so I could only fight with it.
Behind me was the big hole, and although the black shadow was faster than me, it was at least five or six meters away from me until now because it had to dodge the burning wax corpses along the way.
Uhh......h The black shadow did not laugh weirdly, but let out a heart-rending wail. I don't know if it was the sound of its wail that reverberated in the empty space, or if it was because of the scorching flames that caused the stone top carved with a stone hook above to fall suddenly, and a huge rock the size of a truck fell with a bang, straight to my place and crushed down.
I instinctively raised my dragon claw to resist, but at this moment, the big hole behind me collapsed again, and the disaster hit the position I was standing on, and as the bluestone brick ground under my feet collapsed and shattered, my body went straight down and fell.
And at the same time as I fell, the boulder fell violently, blocking the huge hole tightly, not only the black shadow could not escape, but even the slightest source of fire was completely cut off.
Thump......! A few seconds later, I fell into the viscous pool of corpse wax, which had been heated by the flames that had cooled and melted into corpse oil.
I struggled desperately in the corpse oil, and although I touched the edge of the pool, it was so slippery because of the corpse oil that I couldn't start at all.
The fire didn't burn me to death, the boulder didn't trick me to death, and I was going to drown in this pool of corpse oil, and I was really not reconciled.
I don't know how thick the walls of this corpse oil pool are, but now I have to rely on the dragon's claws to make a way out.
I took a deep breath of foul-smelling gas, and with all my strength, I swung out the dragon claw, but just as I swung it, an equally greasy hand probed into the edge of the corpse oil pool.
"Xie Dongzi, grab my hand!" It turned out to be Lou Yuluan's voice. At that moment, I gave up my way of escape and grabbed my hand at Lou Yuluan's life-saving straw.
The corpse oil pool was really slippery, and even if Lou Yuluan rescued me, it took me a lot of effort to climb out.
I climbed out of the pool of corpse oil and I rolled over and fell to the ground, and the joy of the aftermath made me laugh regardless of the occasion or time.
"Lou Yuluan, thank you, you saved my life again."
"You saved me twice, and I saved you twice, and we've been evening things out ever since." That being said, I know that if Lou Yuluan really doesn't plan to save me, I don't have a temper at all, I always thought that the Lou family didn't have a good thing, even Lou Jinjiao and his son Lou Tianci were both insidious and cunning people, but I didn't expect that this Lou Yuluan would be so grateful to Dade and resentful people.
Lou Yuluan, like me, should have crawled out of the corpse oil pool, greasy and filthy to the extreme, and at the same time exuded a strong pungent stench, but unfortunately there is no water source around, and it can only be so disgusting for the time being.
"Let's go, I seem to have heard my father's voice just now, it doesn't seem to be too far away, let's go find them quickly." Lou Yuluan stood up and said to me.
"Really! That's great! As I spoke, I was about to stand up from the ground, but with one hand, there was a heart-rending pain in my shoulder, and I sat down directly on the ground again, and finally Lou Yuluan reached out to help me up.
Lou Yuluan looked at my shoulder with an embarrassed face and said: "Your shoulder is very seriously injured, and now it is eroded by corpse oil, I don't know if it will make your injury more serious, we have to hurry up and meet my father, they must have clear water, your wound needs to be cleaned up in time." ”
"yes, okay." I said yes and stood firm with my arms hanging from my hands. When I followed Lou Yuluan away, I subconsciously glanced back at the corpse oil pool that almost killed me just now, but found that it was not a so-called pool at all, but a huge bronze tripod, the surface of which was either patterned, but covered by condensed and flowing corpse wax.
I also looked up at the height of seven or eight feet, and the hole that had been pressed by the boulder did not happen in the slightest, and the boulder not only blocked the wax and the fire, but also the crackling sound of the fire.
As for what happened to the black shadow now, it's not my concern, so let's bury it with the hundreds of wax corpses.
Above is the place where the corpse wax is refined, which is why it is so dark, but here is a different scene, the lighting is not limited to torches, but one bronze brazier after another, and there are many of them, but everywhere you look, all of them are reflected at a glance.
followed Lou Yuluan into a circular hole with a diameter of two meters away, and after only passing through the hole for more than ten meters, he came to an even larger space.
This is an empty space the size of a football field, the whole is an oval space, and the difference between the top and bottom is dozens of zhang away, and the location where Lou Yuluan and I are located is in the wall hole more than ten zhang away from the bottom.
"Look, they're down there!" As Lou Yuluan pointed downward, he saw a crowd of people at the bottom, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least forty people.
"Godfather...... Godfather...... I'm here! I shouted at the top of my voice, and because the space was large enough, my shouts echoed back and forth throughout the space, and soon attracted the attention of dozens of people below.
"Daddy......!" Lou Yuluan also waved his hand below, and the people on both sides were surprised.
……………… Although Lou Yuluan and I are in a cave more than ten zhang high, it is not difficult to go down, because there is a circular staircase of about half a meter outside this cave, although it is steep, it can go straight to the bottom, maybe it was specially left when the mausoleum was built, or it may be used to transport corpse wax to various parts of the mausoleum.
As soon as we met with everyone, almost all of them cast the same eyes on Lou Yuluan and me, and at the same time, many people raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, obviously unable to stand the pungent stench on our bodies.
"Dongzi, why did you get so much corpse oil and corpse wax on your body, what happened to you, go to find your second treasure, why didn't you stay with you?" Liu Baye asked this, let me know that Erbao did not meet Liu Baye, which made me very worried, and I didn't know where Erbao is now, will he also encounter a strange evil thing similar to that black shadow?
