Chapter 309: Surprised, delighted, frightened, and afraid
"I've finally made it!" McCarthy said with a smile as he suddenly lifted the wall in front of him, and when he saw a narrow passageway, he couldn't help the excitement and excitement in his heart.
As soon as his voice fell, the other team members who were still looking for the passage immediately stepped up to him one after another, smiling to express their gratitude to him.
"Brother McCarthy, you are amazing, you can find it! Wuqi patted McCarthy on the back and walked into the passage first, smiling.
"yes. Brother McCarthy, you've made us all look the other way! I was almost giving up, but now I finally see hope. After Wuqi entered, Na Ke Lulu hurriedly followed, but she still didn't forget to turn back to McCarthy and nod and smile.
Julia looked at McCarthy, and she couldn't help but smile a little gratefully, nodded and followed Nacollulu in, and when she passed McCarthy's side, she also didn't forget to whisper, "Thank you." ”
Charlie Ren had the best relationship with McCarthy, and as soon as he saw that McCarthy had done something that others couldn't do, he immediately laughed and punched McCarthy in the chest, and then said with a smile while moving forward: "Brother, I didn't see the wrong person." ”
Xius smiled, slowly approached the passage, and said, "Admire." ”
"Old Mai, good job. Well done. Balk tapped Charlie directly on the right shoulder and said with a light smile.
Although Rod didn't speak, after he passed by McCarthy's side, he still glanced back at the other party, although the gaze in his eyes was still indifferent, but in an instant, a clear look of appreciation flashed, McCarthy saw that the attitude of the team members towards him had changed substantially, his heart was immediately filled with unprecedented happiness, and his face gradually became ruddy.
After seeing all the team members enter the passage, McCarthy's hands suddenly jerked up the wall, and the man followed behind.
But the journey was not smooth, and the crowd quickly stopped in the passage. It's not because they don't want to keep going, it's that they suddenly find that there is no way ahead. It turned out to be a dead end.
Wuqi, who was walking in the forefront, frowned suddenly, he didn't say anything, but Na Ke Lulu behind him immediately said in an unhappy mood: "Is there a mistake!? It's a dead end! I'm starting to wonder if we're in Jubao Mountain. ”
"It's weird. It stands to reason that there should be a way. Why is it a dead end again?" Wuqi's eyes gradually showed incomprehension, nodded, and said, after a while, all the thoughts gradually appeared in his eyes, and after carefully examining the wall in front of him, he suddenly seemed to have found something, and began to scan the wall in front of him with his eyes.
When everyone was puzzled by Wuqi's strange behavior, and was about to ask, he suddenly stopped glancing, his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and suddenly said, "I understand." Have you noticed that this wall has a different shape than the ones we've seen outside?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Xius took a few steps forward and gently rubbed his hand on the wall in front of Wuqi, and after a while, a look of realization gradually appeared in his eyes, and he asked suspiciously, "You mean, this wall is just the opposite of those walls outside?"
"Not bad. Wuqi gave a thumbs up to Xius in appreciation, and everyone's eyes were even more puzzled, Wuqi didn't intend to hide it, he hurriedly pointed to the surface of the wall, and explained, "I don't know if everyone has found out." This wall is not flat, but protruding. And I took a closer look.
The walls of the podium we were in were mostly recessed inward, which was a stark contrast to this one. If my guess is correct, I think maybe we're not wrong. This path is supposed to be the path to the third level, but this path may be blocked by something. ”
After Wuqi's words were finished, he was actually not sure whether his guess was correct, but he was seventy percent sure. After he finished speaking, the other team members immediately began to whisper discussions, some for and against, and even those who were half-convinced and unable to make a judgment.
But in such a short period of time, and unable to prove that his speculation was completely true, Wuqi couldn't convince everyone at all. ,
So as time passed, the discussion did not go down, but became louder and louder, especially the quarrel between Nakorulu and Julia, neither of whom persuaded the other, and neither of them had the intention of admitting defeat to the other party. This is not something Wuqi wants to see at all.
Seeing that the discussion gradually turned into a quarrel, and both sides were arguing about to start, Wuqi was still frowning and had no choice.
At this moment, Rod, who has always been indifferent, suddenly opened his mouth and said a simple sentence, which was just an instant, which made the two factions led by Nakolulu and Julia immediately stop arguing, and made them look up at themselves one after another, nodding in unison, and at the same time there was a strong color of recognition in their eyes.
"Break this wall and see if there's a way behind it. The indifference in Rod's eyes was even stronger, and even a faint trace of anger appeared, after finishing speaking, he pulled Wuqi behind him without hesitation, and then directly took out the long sword that Wuqi gave him, and under the rapid operation of the energy in his body, he slashed at the wall in front of him.
The white sword shadow flashed in front of everyone's eyes like thunder and lightning, and everyone, including Rod, expected that the wall in front of them would split in two, and a path would appear that would allow everyone to move forward.
However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. As Rod's incredibly fast sword shadow quickly fell, there was nothing unusual in front of everyone's eyes, not even the white marks that should have appeared on the wall.
And not only that, the texture on this wall had not been destroyed in the slightest, and if it weren't for the powerful air fluctuations that everyone felt in Rhodes' sword just now, which could almost hold their breath, no one would have believed that the scene in front of them was real.
Rod's sword was over, and after that, he silently withdrew his sword, turned and walked into the group, did not say another word, just shook his head slightly, and then tried to look at the captain behind him, Balk.
Balk immediately nodded understandingly, "Let me try." He suddenly took a step forward, pushed Wuqi, who was closest to the wall, behind him, and then with a move of his right hand, he once again took out the spear with extraordinary power from the space bracelet, and directly used the energy in his body to stab the indestructible wall.
Everyone behind him, including Balk himself, had a look of anticipation in their eyes at the same time. At the same time, there was a hint of pride in Balke's eyes that could not be concealed, and he was confident that his thorn would never be as useless as Rhodes. It must be pierced, no, it should be directly pierced through this wall.
Having fought with Balk, and deeply felt Balkli's strength, Wuqi also held his breath at this moment, and the confidence in his eyes was extremely strong. Although Balk's stab did not use all his strength, it was already powerful enough, far more terrifying than the sword that Rhodes had just made.
However, just when everyone was full of confidence in Balk's stab, they suddenly saw a scene that everyone expected. The power of Balk's spear stab was indeed amazing, but his stab was exactly the same as Rod's thunderous sword just now, and it didn't cause any damage to the wall at all.
If they just saw this, everyone would not be surprised, after all, Rod's previous sword had already made them mentally prepared. However, the effect of this stab was completely different from that of Rod's sword before. Because Rod's sword was too fast before, most people didn't see the reason for it. They didn't feel anything else, they just felt that the wall was hard enough.
But Balk's thorn made them see the real reason why the wall was so strong. It turned out that it was not that the wall was hard as they expected, but that the surface of the wall had a faint transparent shield, like a film, firmly covering the surface of the wall.
Balk's stab contained a huge amount of energy, but unfortunately, his attack did not actually land on the wall, but was completely absorbed by the transparent shield covering the outside of the wall, as if it was not a heavy stab on the wall at all, but a gentle touch on the surface of the wall.
"So that's the case!" After understanding the mystery, Wuqi couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and let out a sigh, at the same time, the others were the same as him, and couldn't help but discuss, everyone finally understood at this moment, why did it be on the first layer, and Xiu Si shot an arrow like a flying fire meteor would have no effect. ,
"I'll try it too. In order to make sure that the scene just now was not just his hallucination, Wuqi gently put the still stunned Balkla back behind him, took a step forward directly, and threw out the nameless scroll without hesitation. As a result, the moment the Nameless Scroll came into contact with the wall, it was as if it had no strength at all, and it just let out a soft sound as a mosquito's chirp, and it fell heavily to the ground.
Wuqi shook his head, Balk, who came to his senses, shook his head unwillingly, Rhodes couldn't help frowning, Nakolulu and Julia no longer quarreled, but instead of reconciled, they showed an incredulous silence at the scene in front of them. Hughes and Ren Charlie also had no idea, but at this time, McCarthy stepped forward with a smile and walked in front of everyone.
"Look at me. He was not as disappointed as the others, but made a face at everyone with confidence, and then his face was straight, his body immediately lowered, and his hands were clasped on the edge of the contact between the wall and the ground.
At the same time, he quickly used the energy in his body to his hands, and then jerked it up, just as he had lifted the mechanism that looked like a stone door in the second platform, and at the same time let out a deafening shout: "Get up for me!"
After a loud drink, there was a roar like a muffled thunder, and for a while, the entire passage trembled violently, and there was no other sound in the air, only rolling thunder, and in a boom, everyone turned their eyes to McCarthy, and at a glance, everyone's faces instantly showed disbelief.
After ten seconds of stunned thought, everyone still couldn't believe that he had lifted the wall from the ground under McCarthy's lift.
However, if this was not enough to shock everyone, what really shocked everyone was that when McCarthy slowly lifted the wall up above the top, they suddenly realized that it was not a wall that had been standing in front of them, but a boulder the size of a hill.
"This is ......" When everyone's eyes were still stunned by the boulder that McCarthy held high above the top, Wuqi swept his eyes over the vast open space in front of him, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a direction more than a thousand meters away in front of him in surprise, and shouted excitedly: "Look, everyone! That's the mountain road! The mountain road leading to the third layer!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were almost at the same time, and they turned to the direction that Wu Qi was pointing. Sure enough, at the end of there, there was a path that spread upward. Almost instantly, everyone's eyes showed an extremely excited gaze, and their eyes were like stars in the night sky, radiating a bright and exciting light that had never been seen before.
McCarthy, who was firmly holding the boulder with both hands, couldn't help but giggle at this moment, and the atmosphere seemed to change from the dullness just now to relaxed again. But at this time, when everyone was immersed in the joy of discovering the passage and had not yet come to their senses, a loud "bang" suddenly appeared.
The corners of McCarthy's mouth suddenly shook, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Wuqi suddenly woke up, and when he looked back, the excitement in his eyes was immediately replaced by unconcealable horror. He looked up at the boulder above McCarthy's hands in disbelief, and was stunned to say a word.
Originally, there was only one boulder above McCarthy's head, but now it turned into two, after seeing this scene, Nakolulu directly covered her mouth in panic, Balk wanted to help McCarthy, but he didn't expect that when he was just close to McCarthy, there was a deafening loud noise in his ears again.
After a "bang", he subconsciously looked up at the sky, and suddenly, he couldn't believe his eyes, only to see that the boulder above McCarthy's hands had an extra one more at this moment.
When everyone saw McCarthy's legs shake and spurt out a mouthful of blood again, there was no longer any excitement and joy on everyone's faces, only irrepressible despair and sadness. Because they were shocked to find that at this moment, another boulder suddenly fell from the sky, like a meteor falling from the sky, and went straight to the boulder that McCarthy was holding.
An unimaginable fear and crisis suddenly seemed like a flood that had just broken through the embankment at this moment, almost in an instant, it spread wildly in everyone's hearts, and finally swallowed up the confidence that had just risen in the hearts of all the team members without any suspense.
