Volume 3 The Lair Chapter 163 The Underground Labyrinth
Liu Wusheng pretended to be forced to perform just now, holding a posture, his face was full of sneer, and his eyes were expecting someone to applaud his wonderful performance.
What is surprising is that I didn't expect Liu Wusheng, an outcast who was expelled from the division, to be so useless, Yu Huo did not hesitate to applaud, Liu Wusheng enjoyed this feeling of being recognized.
"Let's go, what, do you still want to spend the night here?"
Yu Huo didn't have time to continue to appreciate his pretence there, but strode towards the depths of the black hole, and seeing that there was no audience, Liu Wusheng, who was still unsatisfied, had to pack his bags and chase after him.
got rid of the illusion of the mouse marrying the girl just now, but it does not mean that he is out of danger, after all, in the chess game of four doors and eight methods, every grass and tree is a chess piece.
Leaving here as soon as possible is the top priority, and the embers dare not delay, how can Liu Wusheng drag his feet.
The two of them didn't know how long they walked, as if they had entered an underground labyrinth, too many intersections, and the charming direction of the curved road.
In the darkness, the looming light casts a veil of mystery over this place, and the twists and turns of the layout make people feel like they are in another world.
The embers lit a torch, and the firelight shone on every corner, swaying constantly, and the dark shadows in the corners made the atmosphere here even deeper.
Walking in this underground labyrinth full of unknowns, people can't help but palpitate, as if under their feet, if they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss.
"Be careful! Don't move! ”
I only heard a 'click', and Liu Wusheng, who was walking in front, seemed to have stepped on something, making a sound similar to touching a mechanism.
directly told the embers that as long as Liu Wusheng raised his feet, the mechanism would be launched from the darkness, and at this time, Liu Wusheng was so frightened that his whole body trembled, but he didn't dare to move at all, for fear that if he moved, he would kill himself.
"If you stepped on something, you should hurry up and figure out a way."
Ember put the torch close to Liu Wusheng's feet, bowed down to take a closer look, and found that his left foot was stepping on a bluestone brick, but the brick was a little different from the brick next to it, and there were obvious traces of loosening from the joints.
Yu Huo suddenly felt bad, got up, and said: "Don't move, this organ should have a secret door, but all the designers of the mechanism, in order to prevent accidental touching, every part of the mechanism should have temporary contingency measures, which is often called a secret door." ”
"Secret door......? Since there is a secret door, you should hurry up and find it, I can't last long in this position. ”
Ember naturally knew that when a person was in a posture and motionless, he could not hold on for ten minutes, that is, the time left for Ember to find the secret door, at most ten minutes.
Ember walked around the intricate labyrinth, looked around, but did not find the secret door, returned to Liu Wusheng's side, and said seriously: "There is only one way now." ”
"What's the solution?"
The method in the mouth of the ember fire, Liu Wusheng had already guessed what it was, although he was reluctant in his heart, there was no better way.
Besides, if the embers can come back without abandoning, they have already burned high incense, and if they don't obey the arrangements of the embers, how can they get out of danger?
"Come on, whether it's dead or alive, there is a fifty percent chance of winning."
Yu Huo took out three silver needles from the cloth bag on his waist, and his left hand took out three silver needles, this time the silver needles were not ordinary silver needles used to sew corpses, but silver needles smeared with the blood of a big rooster, for which they were 'enlightened', and they were used to deal with some unclean evil things, and they could save their lives at critical times.
This is a rule that has been handed down from generation to generation, but anyone who walks the rivers and lakes will deliberately prepare some before setting off.
At the same time, Ember had a mouthful of glutinous rice in his mouth, but his right hand was empty-handed, not the yellow talisman he was holding, and the reason why he did this was because it was not the ghosts and gods that he was dealing with at the moment, but the fickle mechanism.
Having a free hand is naturally a convenient way to respond to the situation, and you can have a better choice in times of crisis.
After the ember was ready, he gave Liu Wusheng a look, signaling that he could lift his feet, and the moment he raised his feet, he hid in the crack of the rock wall only one meter away from him as quickly as possible, where there was just a space for a person to enter sideways.
Despite the small space, it allows Liu Silent to successfully dodge the trap and ensure his safety.
Ember was so righteous that Liu Wusheng was somewhat moved, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears, of course, in the darkness, no one knew what was happening in his heart at the moment, including Ember Fire.
Ember gave up cover that could dodge the hidden weapon, and the pressure was naturally left to Ember, how to dodge the hidden weapon that came out of nowhere, it was the time to test the emberfire's ability.
The two held their breath, it was the time to test the tacit understanding between the two, only to see that Yu Huo made an OK gesture, and the moment Liu silently raised his feet, with lightning speed, he flew into the gap in the rock wall with an arrow step.
At that moment, life and death, Liu Wusheng, who was hiding in the bunker, only heard hidden weapons in all directions, roaring violently, but stopped abruptly......
This situation lasted for more than a minute, but there was no movement, which made Liu Wusheng instantly realize his uneasiness.
In such a small space, if the hidden weapon raining down arrows falls on anyone, there will be nowhere to escape, and the consequence is only ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and there is a dead end.
At this time, there was no movement outside, which meant that the embers had ...... at this moment
Liu Wusheng didn't want to continue to think about it, he turned back to save himself from the embers, and gave up the only hiding place that could escape the hidden weapon, this righteousness made Liu Wusheng feel compassion in the depths of his heart at this moment, and he didn't want the embers to die at the hands of the hidden weapon.
Seeing that it was safe outside, Liu Wusheng's tense nerves relaxed, and he probed his brain out, only to find that on the ground, on the cliff, arrows and darts fell to the ground, as well as iron hooks and chains scattered everywhere.
Such an embarrassing scene made Liu Wusheng imagine what a heroic scene it was before Yu Huo died, but Liu Wusheng didn't smell blood, only the smell of earth and decay hit, which made Liu Wusheng somewhat relieved.
With the afterglow of the torch, Liu Wusheng looked around for the ember, but he didn't find any trace of the ember, nor did he see the corpse lying on the ground that was pierced by ten thousand arrows, which made Liu Wusheng feel a lot more relieved, and said silently in his heart: "This kid's life is really big, but how did he escape this net?" ”
Before Liu Wusheng could figure out how the embers had escaped these death weapons, he heard a coughing sound behind him, and the familiar voice made Liu Wusheng ecstatic and burst into tears.
"You're not dead."
Liu Wusheng said excitedly as he helped Ember remove the huge stone that had buried half of Ember's body.
The stone was originally not, but when the mechanism was triggered, the huge stone just smashed into the ember, and at this critical moment, the ember dodged and turned the stone over, directly making the stone an excellent cover to resist the hidden weapon.
But because there were many hidden weapons like rain, and the inertia of falling stones, he directly buried the embers in the ground, and while successfully avoiding the hidden weapons, he almost killed the embers.
Fortunately, the stone did not hit the vital point, allowing the embers to escape.
The embers were not dead, which made Liu silently cry with joy, he changed the attitude of his old rivals, and carefully dragged the embers out from under the stones, constantly shushing the cold and asking for warmth, too much concern, but it made it difficult for the embers to adapt for a while.
"Don't worry, Lingpo asked for my body, but she won't be so ruthless and take the rest of my life."
Yu Huo got up, but found that his skin, under the destruction of the boulder, was somewhat damaged, but it was not in the way, and it was imperative to find the exit as soon as possible and escape from this thrilling place.
Ember took off the discarded torch inserted in the cliff wall, looked around, and found that this underground labyrinth was complex and dizzying, and if you go down so blindly, not only will you not find an exit, but you will run out of energy, and you will soon face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.
Ember tried his best to calm himself down, so that he could take a breath, opened the map left by Jialiu before he died, pointed to the Immortal Gate, and said: "The blind people who are blind in the black light right now don't know where we are at all, and there are thousands of doors here, and the winding paths are quiet, and it is easy to interfere with our judgment. ”
"If you bring a compass, you can at least distinguish between the southeast and the northwest."
Liu Wusheng regretted a little, he had so many scrap copper and rotten iron in his bag, but he didn't take the damn compass, but Yu Huo didn't think so, and said: "This underground is complicated, and it is estimated that this place has long been demagnetized, but it is like this, the geese have left traces, since someone has been here, it will inevitably leave clues." ”
Yu Huo's words reminded Liu Wusheng, and in the gap in the cliff wall where he had just dodged the hidden weapon, he saw a special mark, but he was too nervous just now and didn't care too much.
But the peculiarity of this mark is still fresh in people's minds.
Liu Wusheng couldn't wait to return to the gap in the cliff wall, and the torch in Yu Huo's hand illuminated the gap, and a mark drawn with a paint bucket suddenly appeared in front of him.
And this mark, another bold guess by Ember, is very likely to be the person behind the scenes, in order to safely enter and exit this labyrinth, as long as you find the location of this code, this is a safe passage.
"What do you mean...... This white skull is a code? ”
"That's right, if nothing else, finding these white skulls should lead us out of this underground labyrinth."
Yu Huo said firmly, but Liu Wusheng had another problem, and his question was naturally quite tricky at the moment.
"Even though it's as you say, this one is hidden deep enough, so how can we find all the white skulls?"
The question raised by Liu Wusheng cannot be avoided, but needs to be faced urgently, indeed as he said, at the moment, how can we find these hidden codes that are deep enough?
