Chapter 248: Horror (Part II)
Xiang Lin turned his back to Ji Chengche and said, "Why don't you do it yet?"
Ji Chengche leaned against the wall and stretched, "No need." ”
Xiang Lin was stunned and said, "Why?"
"Wouldn't it be better to leave it all to you?"
Xiang Lin had taken a fancy to a few things, but he never thought that Ji Chengche would not take his army, if he made a big profit, wouldn't he be underestimated by him?
Xiang Lin gritted his teeth and pushed open the door of the arsenal, and a silent and dark stone path appeared in front of him again.
Ji Chengche walked sideways past Xiang Lin, "You stand back, I'll take the lead this time." ”
He stepped up and turned to the right, and the magic flame of his fingertips swayed to illuminate the stone path more than ten feet in front and behind.
However, this time he didn't go far before he reached the end, and a stone wall blocked the way, and a hideous grimace opened its mouth in the firelight, revealing its cold teeth, which was very scary.
There are three rows of small holes on the forehead of the grimace, and there are nine in total.
"Nine Rings?" Xiang Lin said in the back: "The hole slot is engraved with intricate patterns, and it should be opened with a special key." ”
Ji Chengche reached out and grabbed one of the fangs spit out of the grimace's mouth, shook it slightly, and then turned to the left to take it out, "I found the key, but I don't know if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has a way to open it." ”
Wang Rou stared at it and found that the fangs pulled out were about a foot long, with a slight arc, and the surface was pitted and irregular, but if you looked carefully, you would find that it was covered with textures.
Xiang Lin secretly admired Ji Cheng's meticulous observation, and said without relaxing at all: "If you have the key but don't know the order in which you open it, it will be a big trouble if you activate the magic circle in the stone path." ”
Ji Cheng said: "We have two choices, either go back and see how the stone path on the left is, or gamble on luck and use these keys to open the door." ”
Wang Rou's gaze swept over Ji Chengche and Xiang Lin's faces, seeing that one of them was calm and calm, and the other was calm and composed, obviously they didn't really feel embarrassed in their hearts because they were faced with a choice, and they had already made a clear decision.
This is not to say that both of them are adventurous people or do not understand the dangers, on the contrary, these two guys have more scheming in their hearts than anyone else, but years of birth and death have already made them a habit to calmly face desperate situations, and at the same time have strong self-confidence, firmly believing that they can save danger and survive.
This is the heart of the real strong, and it is no wonder that they can surpass everyone else and climb to the top of the mountains at a glance.
So with them, no matter how critical the situation was, Wang Rou's heart was not flustered. The only trouble is that these two guys want to kill each other all the time, so they don't dare to relax in the slightest.
Seeing that Xiang Lin was reluctant to echo Ji Chengqing, Wang Rou said: "I want to try these keys, in case it succeeds." ”
Without hesitation, Ji Chengche took out all the fanged keys one by one and handed them to her, "You can open them." ”
Wang Rou shook her head and didn't dare to pick it up, "I don't have a clue at all." ”
"It's okay, I mistyped it. Xiang Lin said firmly: "It's a big deal, I'll poke a hole in the wall with a gun again." ”
Wang Rou suddenly realized that this matter could only be done by himself, in order to avoid causing more disputes.
In desperation, she picked up the first fanged key from Ji Chengqing's hand, walked to the grimace and looked at it attentively.
After a while, Wang Rou carefully inserted the key into the small hole in the first row.
"Click!" the pattern in the hole slot and the fanged key snapped together with a crunching sound.
Before she could pick up the second fang, the entire stone path suddenly erupted with a roar and trembled violently.
The top of the wall above slowly descended, and the rumbling sound was like an earthquake.
Fortunately, after a few moments, the top of the wall stopped descending, and the stone passage slowly returned to calm.
"Three feet down. Xiang Lin looked up at the top of the wall, put his hands behind his back, and said with a calm face: "We should have two more chances." ”
Wang Rou's face turned pale, and she held the second fangs key in her hand and didn't know which hole to insert into it.
Ji Chengche smiled and encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince here, we will never be fine." ”
Xiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Ji Chengche would praise himself in front of Wang Rou.
"Haven't you heard that good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years?
Xiang Lin immediately understood, and couldn't bear it: "Shouldn't I overtake you now?!"
Before the words fell, Wang Rou gritted her teeth and inserted the second fang into the small hole in the middle of the second row.
"Click!" the hole and key snapped together, and there was another crunch.
"Boom!" the stone path trembled, and the top of the wall rumbled again and slowly sank three feet.
Wang Rou looked at the top of the wall, shook her head in despair and said, "Change people, I can't!"
Ji Cheng said: "We don't know the correct order, and the result is the same for anyone." Anyway, things have come to this point, you just let go of everything and don't think about anything, just open the door. ”
Xiang Lin continued: "Yes, there are still about four feet away from this grimace at the top of the wall now, so we still have one more chance." Go ahead, I won't blame you whether the door opens or not. ”
Wang Rou bit her lips and didn't dare to insert the key again, "It's useless, it's impossible to open it with such random speculation, I will kill everyone!"
Ji Chengche glanced at Xiang Lin and chuckled: "Fourth prince, since Hengzhi is dead, why don't we fight first?"
Xiang Lin said hesitantly: "It's exactly what I want, even if I live one more moment than you, I will win in the end!"
Wang Rou said angrily: "You two big men don't dare to do it yourself, and you change your way to force me, what kind of ability is this?"
Ji Chengche saw that Wang Rou was really angry, and the smile on his face disappeared and said softly: "Even if I do it, I may not be able to do it better than you." Hold on a little longer, and maybe we can find a way out. ”
Xiang Lin said coldly: "I will never put my life in the hands of this kid, junior sister, I only believe in you!"
Wang Rou looked at the grimace and shook her head speechlessly, she had the heart to turn around and run away, the two people around her looked at her persistently and firmly, she took a deep breath, in the end she still couldn't move, trembling her hand raised the third fangs key, gritted her teeth and said: "Horizontal and vertical death, what are you afraid of me?"
She closed her eyes and plunged the third fanged key into the small hole in the upper left corner.
"Click!" This time, after the hole and the key were bitten, the top of the wall did not move.
Wang Rou slowly opened her eyes and noticed that her palms and backs were covered with cold sweat.
"That's right!" Xiang Lin looked at the position of the three fangs inserted into the small holes, "from the ...... you just inserted"
As soon as he spoke, he heard a loud "boom" that completely drowned out the voice, and the top of the wall above sank violently again.
The three of them were silent, looking at the sunken wall and frowning.
After a long time, Wang Rou turned around and looked at Ji Chengche and Xiang Lin, and said quietly: "There is no chance now, do you still want to try?"
Ji Chengche looked at Xiang Lin, pondered for a moment and asked, "How long can you last?"
Xiang Lin glanced at the top of the wall above and said lightly, "How long will it take you?"
"I don't know. ”
"Then I don't know. ”
The two fell silent together, staring intently at the holes on their grimaces.
Wang Rou said: "Shall we go back?"
Xiang Lin didn't say anything, and Ji Chengche didn't seem to hear it.
Wang Rou looked at these two guys and finally understood that the proposal to turn around and find another way to survive was not to their liking at all, and more importantly, none of them was willing to bow their heads and admit defeat.
It's not so much that they're looking for a passage, but rather that they're secretly competing with each other.
Suddenly, Ji Chengche said, "How many keys are there?"
Wang Rou replied, "Six." ”
"Let's plug it in!" Ji said as he stared at the remaining holes with blazing eyes.
"Plug it together?" Wang Rou was stunned, and immediately realized that Ji Chengche was going to try it.
"What if we made a mistake from the beginning? We always thought that the keys had a sequence, but in fact you have already seen them after three attempts. ”
Ji Chengche said slowly: "Wang Rou is right, guessing without any clue, no matter how you plug it in, it's useless." But I'm convinced that these nine slots will be opened, and there's only one right way. ”
"This correct way may be to insert it at the same time!" Xiang Lin's brain was spinning, and he unconsciously took Ji Cheng's words and said: "Since any key inserted is dead, then simply insert the six keys together!"
Wang Rou said: "But I can only insert two keys at the same time at most." ”
"It's okay," Ji Chengche said, "There are three of us, just six hands. Hehe, who said it wasn't providence, I believe more and more that we will be able to get out of this hellish place alive. ”
Wang Rou nodded, and distributed the fangs key to Ji Chengche and Xiang Lin.
The three of them stood side by side in front of the grimace, and Ji Chengche said, "I'm in charge of the one in the upper right corner and the one on the right in the second row." ”
Xiang Lin said: "The two hole slots on the left of the second row and the left side of the third row are handed over to me. ”
Wang Rou didn't speak, and the remaining two small holes naturally belonged to her.
Xiang Lin said: "Senior sister, you come to give the order, count to three, and everyone will do it together." ”
Wang Rou calmed down, looked at Ji Chengche on the left, and Xiang Lin on the right, and counted in a low voice: "One, two, three!"
"Click!"
The three of them launched at the same time, and the six fanged keys were inserted into the hole in unison, in no particular order.
"Boom!"
Before the bite of the hole and the key could be heard, an earth-shattering bang came from the stone tunnel, almost piercing the eardrums of the three men, and a huge tremor emanated from the soles of their feet......
