Chapter 122: The Way to Get Out
The monsters rushed to catch all kinds of living creatures like hungry people encountering food. Some grabbed chickens and ducks, bit off their necks, tore them in half with both hands, and threw them directly in their mouths and chewed them; some overturned cattle and sheep, lay on them alive and began to gnaw on them; and some chased tigers, leopards, bears and wolves and frolicked for a long time, and when the beasts could no longer run, they broke open their bellies and took out their hearts and livers to feast on them.
In a short time, the square was filled with blood, and the smell of blood and stench filled the entire sinkhole.
The three of us were dumbfounded.
Behind us the pennant said, "How is it? What a spectacle, how heroic." They will be a powerful force for me to build a feat for all eternity. Think of it, who can stop an army of such demon warriors? You three children are lucky enough to have met me, and if you follow me, you won't end up like the beasts below. Have you changed your mind a little now?"
When I heard this, I hated and angry in my heart, and I was about to respond, but He Xuanya scolded loudly.
"Shameless old beast, you are so cruel, you destroy human nature, and you want to make waves in the world. With these wolf things, I want to confront the Wa royal family. Let me tell you the truth, the strength of the Wa royal family today is not something that you young people can imagine. The human race of the Manifest World has never known about the existence of the Secret World, and if one day, the Secret World is exposed to the Manifest Public, all the races of the Secret World will not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out. You will end up playing with fire and setting yourself on fire. ”
The pennant laughed out loud after hearing this.
He walked behind the chair and pressed on the wall of the cave, which cracked in the middle and moved to both sides with a rumbling sound, revealing a large glass wall behind it.
The pennant glanced at us, and the Xihuang people on the side pushed us to the front of the glass wall.
Through the transparent glass, I saw a huge hole underneath, the size of dozens of playgrounds in Xiguan Elementary School. It was filled with all kinds of large machines, and around them, many people were busy working. It looks like a giant factory. In one corner of the factory, all kinds of guns and shells are neatly stacked.
The pennant walked over to the chair and sat down.
Someone next to him brought him a wine glass containing a light green liquid.
The pennant took a sip of the green liquid from his wine glass, and said proudly: "Don't think that only the Wa royal family can make heat-weapons, we can do the same." This is my arsenal, and I can produce all the guns here. When the time comes, the world of the Wa royal family will be completely shattered. ”
At this time, someone ran in from outside the cave and leaned in the ear of the pennant and talked for a long time.
After hearing this, the pennant laughed excitedly. While laughing, he said to himself: "God really helped me to do it, I can't imagine that what I didn't get with all the trouble forty years ago is now being sent by myself." ”
He got up from his chair, walked up to us, stared at the sailors, and said, "Which of you is the grandson of the Drought King?"
The sailor took two steps back.
The pennant waved his hand backwards and said, "Take these two down, and go find the two dead bodies as soon as possible." ”
Four or five members of the Xi royal family stepped forward and pushed me and He Xuanya to go outside the door of the cave.
He Xuanya shouted, "What are you going to do with him?"
The pennant turned back and said, "Don't worry, he is my treasure now, and I will treat him well." It's the two of you, and you're going to give your body a new lease of life tomorrow. ”
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
He Xuanya and I were taken underground again and thrown into cages.
As soon as the escort walked out of the secret passage, He Xuanya said, "The sailors will not be in danger, right? If he has any accidents, how can we explain to his grandmother, how can we explain to his parents, and how can I have the face to go to see the master again." ”
I said, "Didn't that old guy with a triangular face say he would treat the sailors well?" ”
He Xuanya said: "They must use the sailors to do something unseemly, if the sailors do not cooperate or after they achieve their goal, the sailors will lose their use value, can they still live!"
I said, "Then we'll have to find a way to save the sailors." ”
He Xuanya said: "To save the sailors, the two of us must first get out of the cage. But the cage is so sturdy, and the chains are thick, it seems that it is not easy to get out. Let's look around to see if there are any tools that can be used, such as axes and shovels. ”
I said, "I don't need that, I've already figured it out, what do you think this is?"
I said as I pulled out half a box of matches from my pocket.
When He Xuanya saw the match, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "I remember that the matches we brought were all in the backpack, but the backpack has been lost in the sky, where did you get this match?"
I said, "You forget, at Shang Baye's house, when we were hiding in the cellar, he handed down candles and matches, and let us light them underneath. Later, we stood in the cellar shaft and listened to the movement from above, but we did not enter the cellar at all, and we did not light candles. I put the candles and matches in my pocket, but then I forgot to return them to Shang Baye. I just felt the match in my pocket, and suddenly I had an idea. ”
He Xuanya said, "You want to burn the cage?"
I nodded.
He Xuanya said: "When you set the fire, the smoke came out, didn't you find it outside?"
I said, "The secret passage in this dungeon is very long, and outside the secret passage is the big cave. Today, I passed through the mouth of the cave two or three times, and I found that it was like a wind outlet, and the wind was constantly pouring into the cave from the outside of the cave, so I judged that there must be a passage connecting to the outside inside of the big cave, and the wind entered through the cave and must have drained away from the passage on the other side. ”
He Xuanya said: "You mean that when the smoke goes up from the dark passage, it will float directly into the cave and will not disperse outside the cave?"
I said, "Yes, as far as I can see, this big cave is the dwelling place of the Demon Immersion Body, which is equivalent to a demon army camp, and the people of the Xi Imperial Clan live in the small cave above the cliff wall. Now that the demon infiltrators were partying outside, the cave must be empty, and there would be nothing wrong with smoke drifting in. ”
He Xuanya said: "Since it is a military camp, isn't there a sentry post?"
I said, "The demon body is the demon body, all actions are driven by direct desires, and will not be disciplined like humans, and the scene outside has a huge sensory temptation for the demon body, and no demon will want to stay in the cave quietly." ”
He Xuanya said, "It seems that you still have a very deep study of this monster. ”
I smiled and said, "I haven't studied the Demon Immersion Body, but just one thing that made me see their true nature clearly. ”
He Xuanya asked, "What's the matter?"
I said, "Just now in the square, you were pressed to the ground by several demonic bodies, and one of them was still tightly controlling your right hand to prevent you from casting spells. But when they see prey to catch, they don't even think that they control a 'dangerous molecule' who can wipe them out at any time, and they all rush to the prey. From this, it can be seen that such a monster has no discipline at all. Therefore, the guy with the triangle face and his supporters of the Xi royal family will sooner or later be planted in the hands of this rabble. We don't even bother with his nonsense about breaking the Order of the Manifest II and liberating the Secret World. ”
He Xuanya frowned, and said in thought: "I'm not worried that they will pose any threat to the Wa royal family, but I'm afraid that they will make trouble in the manifest world and let the manifest people know about the existence of the secret world, and at that time, the situation will really be difficult to control." At that time, not only will all the clans of the secret world suffer from the catastrophe of annihilation, but the Ximu of the world will also be blamed for their deaths. Also, that factory is constantly producing weapons, and if those weapons fall into the people of the secret world, I think it will also shake the foundation of the various races. ”
I gathered the hay at the bottom of the cage into one corner of the cage and said, "Sister Xiaoya, you stand in that corner, I'm going to start lighting the fire." ”
He Xuanya retreated to the opposite corner of the corner where the hay was piled up, and stood motionless against the cage.
I struck a few matches, but I didn't light the hay, because the underground water was so heavy that the hay was damp.
I scratched a few more, but to no avail. At this time, there was only one match left in the matchbox.
I was sweating profusely.
He Xuanya stood straight on the corner of the cage, saw that I didn't move for a long time, and shouted softly: "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong?"
I said frustratedly, "There are no matches." ”
He Xuanya walked over from the opposite corner and said, "Then let's find another way." ”
I said, "Whether it succeeds or not is up to you." ”
As he spoke, he was about to strike the last match.
He Xuanya shouted, "Slow!"
My hand hung in the air, I didn't dare to move, and I looked back at her.
He Xuanya said indignantly: "Isn't there still a match?
I said, "There is only one left, and there is no difference between having it and not having it." ”
He Xuanya said: "Of course, there is a difference, and there is also hope, if there is not, then this method has to be abandoned." ”
I said, "There are so many that are not lit, only this one is left, and it is estimated that there is no play." ”
He Xuanya said: "Didn't Shang Baye give you half a candle back, you can look for it and see if it's still there." ”
I immediately replied, "Yes!"
As he spoke, he took out the candle, for I had no place to put my hands in the cave above, so I had to reach into my pocket and fiddle with the match on my right and the candle on my left.
I handed the candle to He Xuanya and said, "Here, look at where the point is, this cage doesn't even have a place to put candles." ”
He Xuanya said: "I'm not ordering candles, I'm asking you to light the candles and then light the grass." ”
I suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaoya, you are smart, you already know not to waste so many matches." ”
He Xuanya said: "I look at you, when you are nervous, you are easy to get confused. Hurry up and light the fire, the monster will be in trouble when it enters the hole in a while. ”
I carefully struck the last match, lit the candle, pinched the bottom of the candle with one hand, and half-concealed the flame the size of a grain of rice with the other, and reached over to the haystack to light the grass.
Wherever the flames went, black marks were left on the stalks, followed by a trace of green smoke, and soon flames erupted. But the flame had burned less than half a centimeter along the stalks of the grass before it was extinguished, and at last a wisp of black smoke remained.
