Chapter 145: Trial
It was obviously a whole piece of ground made of unknown materials, but it suddenly cracked, and a fierce stone pillar popped out and slammed diagonally towards Zhang Qing's chin from the bottom up.
Zhang Qing was caught off guard and fell backwards, but fortunately, there was a small sound under his feet at the moment before the stone pillar appeared, which made Zhang Qing feel a little vigilant, so he only dodged the head-on blow by a fraction of a margin, and let the stone pillar fly past the ends of his raised hair.
At the same time, the ground on the left side cracked again, and another stone pillar flew out. Although Zhang Qing had already seen that these stone pillars were only the thickness of the bowl mouth, three feet long, like a horse-tethered stake, it should not be very heavy. But this strange attack made him cautious again, and even if he reacted, he didn't draw his knife to cut it down, but moved his feet to avoid the attack.
But these two attacks were like saying hello, only listening to the sound of "click", there were stone pillars flying out of the ground, and they were not shooting randomly, as if someone was manipulating them, they all hit Zhang Qing's position, and they were all aimed at the vital parts, which made people tremble when they looked at it.
However, Zhang Qing didn't have time to be afraid at this time, the stone pillars that were constantly flying around already required his full attention to observe in order to avoid these attacks.
Fortunately, he is small in size, and at the same time, the internal qi of the Heavenly Sword Divine Skill is extremely explosive, and the exquisite sword technique also requires strong body control, allowing him to control all parts of the body freely, so it is quite easy to dodge this kind of straight chain attack.
However, this situation only lasted for a short period of time for half a pillar of incense, and it was probably found that the stone pillar that only emerged from the ground had no effect on Zhang Qing at all. So the intelligence that may have existed or the programs that have been set up long ago have made some changes to this room.
Silently, just as Zhang Qing rolled backwards to avoid the stone pillars attacking from the left and right, a small secret door opened above the back of his head, which he couldn't see, and a sharp arrow reflecting light was exposed. In the next instant, it shot smoothly out of the secret door and went straight to Zhang Qing's top door
Zhang Qing, who had just dodged a round of attacks, took a breath, and suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of his head, as if he was being pressed against a cold ice pick. And the heart contracted suddenly, as if it was being clutched hard.
He didn't have time to think about what was going on, he had to give his body to instinct. Zhang Qing didn't even have time to move his feet, because he generally felt that the crisis was coming from behind him, so he could only bow his head vigorously, and at the same time retract his arms and thighs, trying to reduce the area of the attack, so that the important parts could hide behind the disaster knife behind him. And with the scabbard greeted the thing aimed at him.
"Bang", the sound of the intersection of gold and wood sounded, and at the same time, Zhang Qing felt a huge force hit the scabbard behind him, and pushed him forward by the way. Zhang Qing glanced and found that there was no crack in the ground within a radius of one zhang in front of him, so he pounced forward.
Just as he stretched his body, he felt the force behind him shift a little, probably because it didn't hit the middle of the scabbard and didn't consume all the impact power. Then, as he rolled forward, he only felt a chill under his left rib, and then he moved away from his position and jumped to safety.
This dodge is described as very long, in fact, it is just a blink of an eye, and at the moment of standing firmly, Zhang Qing quickly turned around and raised his head, and saw the secret door that was slowly closing, and the steel arrow inserted on a stone pillar a few feet away on his right hand.
Because of the slow force and the change of direction, only half of the tip of the arrow was inserted into the stone, but the tail of the steel arrow was still trembling slightly, showing the thrill just now.
It was supposed to be an all-steel crossbow bolt, only a little more than a foot long, with no tail feathers, and the arrow had a barb on it, and it was very sharp in the cold light. In the gap where the tip of the arrow was driven into the stone pillar, a wisp of blue cloth and a trace of blood could be seen.
At this time, Zhang Qing felt the coolness under his left rib turn into severe pain. He knew that the arrow had already hurt him, and from the feeling of it, the wound was probably not too small. But he didn't have time to check anymore, because one by one the secret doors in the ceiling were opened, revealing the sharp crossbow arrows inside.
Zhang Qing only felt creepy, compared to these life-threatening things, the previous stone pillar attack was just like a gentle greeting.
He exerted his strength under his feet, taking advantage of the fact that there were no stone pillars on the ground for a while, and the crossbow arrows above his head had not shot down for a short time, and ran towards the door, where there was no way to stay. Not to mention the other dangers that may arise in the future, just the stone pillars and crossbow arrows will probably be unbearable for him now.
At the moment when Zhang Qing left the place, a crossbow arrow was inserted into the place where he was standing, and then, like a signal, a continuous stream of arrows shot at Zhang Qing who was running. And these arrows don't just chase after him, they even calculate the advance and shoot at his foothold.
This made Zhang Qing have to slow down, and at the same time finally pulled out the disaster knife behind his back, dodging the flying arrows while moving irregularly, and at the same time knocking the knife in his hand and not being able to dodge the attack. Fortunately, his sword technique also incorporated the rudiments of "fast" knife intent, so even if these arrows were close and fast, Zhang Qing could intercept them as much as possible.
Finally, under the flying arrows, Zhang Qing came to the door with difficulty, and he found an opportunity to quickly kick on the same white temple door.
However, the imaginary kick did not happen, but Zhang Qing's left foot was a faint pain, and the wooden door that was easily pushed open when he came in was as solid as a rock at this time, and he didn't even tremble. And because he misjudged the direction of force, the body that was shocked back happened to meet the two crossbow arrows, and after a hurried operation, Zhang Qing used another wound on his right arm as a price to change back the rhythm.
Zhang Qing, who gritted his teeth, recalled the scene of opening the door before, so he took the risk of trying to pull the door inward, but the temple door was still indifferent, obviously when he was attacked, the temple door was directly locked, trapping him inside to be baptized by stone pillars and arrows.
From the outside, it looks like a temple door made of wood, but I don't know what kind of material it is, so that the foot that has enough internal qi does not hurt any parts.
In fact, don't look at the two waves of attacks that made the ground full of broken stone pillars and scattered steel arrows, in fact, the ground and walls were not harmed in any way, this kind of material similar to stone texture is obviously not in Zhang Qing's knowledge, and it is unbelievably strong.
But Zhang Qing didn't have time or mood to think about this kind of thing, the only thing he thought about was how to get out of this dangerous palace, because just when he found that the door could not be opened and wanted to find other exits or control switches, probably because he found that the arrows could not stump Zhang Qing, the hole in the ground opened again, and the stone pillar was launched from it again, joining the ranks of besieging Zhang Qing.
(I was busy with the company's affairs for the first two days, and I was very busy, but today I finally got it all and started the holiday.) But I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow, and I'll be busy again, so try to find time to update, forgive me. )
