Chapter 12: A dilemma
"It's strange, my brother said to explore the way, why hasn't he come back for so long?" Jiang Yueling said worriedly.
Qin Yi stood up and looked around, and asked, "Has it been a long time, and nothing will happen, right?"
It's an unknown world for them, and unexpected dangers can happen at any time.
"Where did the fat man go?" Qin Yi asked.
"Over there. Jiang Yueling stretched out her hand and pointed.
Qin Yi held the stone crystal and shouted as he walked, "Fatty, where are you?"
"Brother, brother-" Jiang Yueling shouted a few times, but did not get any response. "I told my brother not to go far, where did he go. ”
Qin Yi frowned, shook his head and said, "The atmosphere here is weird, Ling'er, follow me." ”
Qin Yi said and took Jiang Yueling's hand.
Jiang Yueling was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and followed behind Qin Yi quietly, letting him pull her little hand.
Not long after, three forks appeared in front of the two, and Qin Yi shouted a few times at the three passages, but only echoes echoed him.
"Xiaoyi, why don't we look for it separately? Jiang Yueling said. After not being able to find Jiang Yueban for a long time, she always had an ominous premonition.
Qin Yi squatted down, touched the ground, and then pointed to the passage in the middle and said, "There seem to be traces of stepping on here, let's walk this passage." If even the fat are in danger, it will only be more dangerous for us to separate. ”
Qin Yi was just about to pull Ling'er into the middle passage, when suddenly there was a sound of rustling behind him. As soon as Qin Yi turned around, he was stunned.
Jiang Yueling let out a scream of "ah" and hid behind Qin Yi.
I saw countless black vipers appear on their way when they came, almost blocking the way out. And these black vipers are still closing in on them, very fast.
"It's so dry here, how can there be a black viper?" Qin Yi said with an ugly face.
"Is it poisonous?" Jiang Yueling asked in fear. If it was a fight or even murder, she might not be so afraid, but these soft and slimy things made her so scared.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "The thinner and longer the black viper, the more poisonous it is. With so many snakes appearing at the same time, there must be a snake king to guide us, let's go first, and try to avoid them if we can. ”
If it was just one or two black vipers, Qin Yi would naturally not be worried, but now that hundreds of them were dispatched at the same time, even if they were masters of the Cangling Realm, they could only temporarily avoid the edge.
Going all the way along the middle passage, it was not the fat man who greeted Qin Yi and Jiang Yueling, but more forks in the road.
"Why is there a fork in the road, Xiao Yi, what should we do?" Jiang Yueling set her eyes on Qin Yi. When Jiang Yueling was a child, whenever something happened, she would seek Qin Yi's help, and from beginning to end, Qin Yi was her backbone.
This time, there were more than two dozen forks in the road, and some of them even overlapped, like honeycombs.
On the surface, each entrance is pretty much the same.
Qin Yi observed the distribution of these channel openings and guessed: "These channel openings seem to be random, but in fact there are specific rules, if you guess correctly, you should use the ninth chapter of the Star Shifting Array." ”
Jiang Yueling didn't know what Qin Yi was talking about, she only felt that after Qin Yi came back, he not only became very strong, but also understood more things, quite like Uncle Qin's demeanor back then.
Qin Yi continued: "Black rocks are used throughout this place, which is obviously difficult to do in this era. After all, this area of Wushang County was a third-level poor area more than a hundred years ago. So my guess is that this is the tomb of some rich man or a high-ranking man hundreds of years ago or more. ”
"Tomb?" Jiang Yueling was startled. In this way, so many sarcophagi I met before were all burial companions?
Qin Yi nodded and said: "That's right, the Star Shifting Array is a kind of strange array that can control the celestial phenomena, and the owner of the tomb should be afraid that the changes of the sun and the moon will damage the feng shui, so he used the array to fix the climate of this generation." ”
Jiang Yueling seemed to understand and said, "No wonder Wushang County is so dry, is it because of this ancient tomb?"
Qin Yi didn't speak, and the amount of information was too little at the moment to jump to conclusions.
"Since it is a formation, there is life and death. The ninth chapter of the Shifting Star Array can be divided into three and three small chapters. There are three walled entrances on the left, and the same goes for the right. So we had to go to one of the middle three fortifications. ”
"Then which one is better for us to go?" Jiang Yueling asked.
Qin Yi fell into deep thought.
At that moment, there was another sound of rustling behind them.
"The black viper is catching up, take your pick. Qin Yi said that he pulled Jiang Yueling into the middle of the passage.
"Xiao Yi, why are those snakes chasing us?" Jiang Yueling asked puzzled. It stands to reason that as long as you don't provoke snakes, snakes generally don't take the initiative to attack humans.
Qin Yi held up the stone crystal and looked around, and said absentmindedly: "Maybe the target of the snakes is not us, but they also have to pass through here." The venom of the black viper is 90% fatal to us, so if you can not get close to them, try to stay away. ”
The passage was not very long, and soon the two of them came to the end and came to a larger and higher tomb. Strangely, the light in the tomb is very bright and visible, and it is not known where the light comes from.
Qin Yi looked around, but he didn't find anyone, and he faintly pinched a cold sweat for the fat man in his heart.
"Xiao Yi, this seems to be a confined space, what are we going to do if the black vipers are coming?" Jiang Yueling said worriedly.
Qin Yi touched the wall and knocked it with his hand, this action was done for a long time, and then he suddenly stopped and said to Jiang Yueling, "This place seems to be empty. ”
Jiang Yueling's eyesight and hearing are beyond ordinary people, she put her ears against the wall, tapped different positions with her right hand, and then nodded and said: "The thickness is about half a meter, although it is much thinner than other positions, but the black rock is extremely strong, I'm afraid it is not so easy to get through." ”
"I'll try. Qin Yi stood up and tightened his fists, a layer of qi wrapped around his body, and with his loud shout, his fist hit the cave wall with the sound of breaking wind.
Qin Yi thought that it would be absolutely impossible to succeed with just such a punch, but to his surprise, the wall was actually overwhelmed and cracked countless cracks.
"Come on, Xiaoyi!" Jiang Yueling said happily.
Qin Yi's right fist swirled, a little bit of thunder appeared, and there was another loud shout, and the brutal power of thunder directly pierced the wall, and a rich cold aura came to his face.
"It seems that this tomb is older than we thought. Qin Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
Black rock is a refined stone, which is extremely strong, and is generally only used on castle towers or city walls, and can be immortalized for thousands of years.
However, the black rock in front of him has clearly lost to the years. It is speculated that the tomb was built at least 1,000 years ago.
Qin Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air in shock.
"Hiss-"
At this moment, there was a strange movement from the other side of the hole.
Qin Yi frowned, and threw a piece of stone crystal into it.
There was a light in the cave, Qin Yi was suddenly startled, and pulled Ling'er and ran back.
Jiang Yueling looked dazed, not knowing what was going on.
And at this time, black vipers gushed out of the hole in the wall, and the dense number made Qin Yi's scalp tingle.
Jiang Yueling's face turned blue with fright, and she took out her bow and arrow to attack.
Qin Yi hurriedly stopped, shook his head and said, "You can't attack, as long as any of them are injured, the snakes will attack us." ”
"Then let's go back quickly. Jiang Yueling said that, then turned around and ran through the passage.
However, at this time, the entrance of the passage has also been occupied by the black viper, and the two are in a dilemma.
