Chapter 433: Caught in the Sea of Sand
Ye Xijin slapped his thigh and shouted: "Yes, yes, you are right, why didn't we think of it before?" His cry floated in the dead silence of the city, attracting the attention of Gordon and the others, who gathered to see him with a happy face, and asked, "Gang Master Ye, what good idea did you think of?"
"Brother Gao, let's build up this stone, we should be able to go up to the city wall!"
When Gordon heard this, he said, "Head to head, without further ado, let's do it now, move the stones to the southeast corner and pile them up, and see what tricks are on them." ”
All the able-bodied people, including Li Yihang, scattered to move stones, he didn't want to be too conspicuous to be noticed by Gordon, and was in full swing, when suddenly there was some noise from the tomb gate in the north, it seemed that someone was talking outside, everyone stopped, and their eyes gathered at the tomb door, but it was dim there, and they didn't dare to get too close, what could they see there? After a while, the sound became louder and louder, and the sound of shouting came and went, followed by the sound of the stone pushing away and moving, it seemed that someone wanted to climb in through the gap in the stone from outside the door, and suddenly there was some faint light under the tomb door, and then the light became stronger and stronger, and finally there was a person who climbed into the tomb, stood up with a horse lantern, looked at the situation of the tomb, and saw that there were eight people standing in the tomb, and the person hurriedly shouted: "Master, Master, there are eight people inside." After a while, another person crawled in, holding the horse lantern in front of him and looking around, Li Yihang recognized that person was Song Tianquan of the Beidou faction, and the Beidou faction also came at this time, and it was really lively now.
Song Tianquan saw that Gordon and Hua Yuan were both inside, and he thought that he was not Gordon's opponent, so he hurriedly shouted: "Second Senior Brother, come in! Gordon and Hua Yuan are two murderers inside." ”
Gordon and Hua Yuan's voice changed, the city here is impermeable and there is nowhere to hide, the people of their Beidou faction have entered, there is still a way to live? Gordon immediately decided, no matter what happened to trigger the mechanism, and shouted to Hua Yuan: "Go, kill them first!" His feet fell on the stones like dragonflies, and flew to the tomb gate.
Of course, Hua Yuan knew what Gao Deng meant, and killed Song Tianquan first, so Zhong Tianxuan was not afraid when he came in, and he didn't want to fight at this time, and he didn't want to rush forward with his sword.
Song Tianquan saw the two of them coming, and shouted: "Good come!" The long sword in his hand went straight to Gao Deng, and his disciple Ou Yongzhang saw Hua Yuan coming, remembering that some time ago he killed his senior brother and brother on Tiandu Peak, and a fire dragon jumped up in his heart, his eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted, and he pounced on his sword and fought with Hua Yuan.
As soon as the four of them moved, a low rumbling sound sounded around the city, Ye Xijin and the others listened, their faces changed greatly, their whole body trembled, and they raised their heads to look at the black roof of the cave, not knowing what terrible mechanism ambush suddenly appeared in this ghost city.
Li Yihang was secretly frightened, and was thinking about whether to come forward to help hunt Gordon, when suddenly something small fell on the top of his head, raised his head with a lamp, and saw it in the firelight, only to see wisps of yellow sand as fine as flour falling from the sky, and it seemed that a sand rain was falling in the city.
Except for the four who fought with their lives and did not listen to them, the faces of the remaining six people changed color in shock, and Gordon and Hua Yuan approached the tomb gate, triggering the city mechanism. The designer of the tomb, Lu Dingzhao, took advantage of the characteristics of the sand mountain to set up another desperate mechanism at the top of the cave, as long as the conditions are triggered, a large amount of fine sand buried in the rock layer will be introduced. Bury this entire empty city with quicksand!
This quicksand array was designed by Lu Dingzhao's last killer move, with the intention of preferring the tomb to be destroyed rather than the tomb robbers escaping. This fine sand is overwhelming, no matter how high your martial arts are, it will be difficult to escape, it is really ruthless.
Everyone climbed with a stone barrier, thought that there would be a glimmer of life, at this time to see the quicksand surging overhead, the heart is shivering through the bones cold, what is the urn to catch turtles, what is in the catastrophe is difficult to escape, the city gates around this are tightly locked, the caves are blocked by boulders, between breathing, there will be a large amount of quicksand poured down, even the gods have nowhere to escape. In this moment, more than eight people went from life to death, and from death to life, and then fell into danger again, and before they could care about the desperate wailing, dozens of quicksand like yellow dragons poured down on the zenith of the city.
Yellow sand has always been the ancient tomb to overcome the rigid suburban anti-theft means, a large amount of fine sand once filled the tomb pit, it is impossible to dig the tomb wall rammed earth, a robbery hole can solve the problem, because the sand is loose flowing, no matter how much the tomb robbers dig out, there will be sand from elsewhere to fill in, unless all the fine sand inside is dug out and hollowed out, otherwise the flowing fine sand will move to the low-lying place like water, and the tomb robbers will never want to make a robbery hole in it.
No tomb owner wants to bury his remains in the rolling yellow sand, but rather than having his body thrown in a coffin after death, he would rather choose a jade burning mechanism such as quicksand and ambush fire, and kill the tomb chamber and the tomb robbers who sneak in. However, this was not Qin Tianshu's own will, if he died of normal old age, he would definitely not want to be buried in someone else's tomb. I don't want to use the secret of martial arts to accompany the treasure, who knows that Wei Tianji and Feng Yuheng don't know for what purpose, they just place the master's secret, which attracts many people in the rivers and lakes to covet it.
With his previous experience, Ye Xijin thought that there was no sand in this Lotus Heart Peak, but he didn't know that the top of the Lotus Heart Peak was an extremely rare sand plate mountain, and the sand layer was the whole granite stone. Gordon and the others escaped for several catastrophes, but due to the arrival of the Beidou faction, the quicksand in the rock formation was about to fall. There is a way that the yellow sand is long, the sand looks calm and harmless, once it flows violently, it is more powerful than the flood beast, the person who is chased by the quicksand, as long as the sand is buried in the chest, not waiting for the top, will not be able to breathe and die, and the fine sand is soft and slippery, and when you step on it, you will fall into it and fall out of a fall, where can you have a chance to escape?
And Zhong Tianxuan, who had just heard Song Tianquan's bark and had just crawled in from the narrow slit dog under the door, watched the sky full of quicksand falling, and he couldn't see Gao Deng, Song Tianquan and others in the dark, and saw that the quicksand fell with great power, and the deafening sound was extremely scary.
Ye Xijin and the others didn't care about Gordon, braved the wild sand surging down, groped to the exit of the tomb door, but when they fled there, the quicksand had already buried the gap, he was desperate in his heart, looked back at the back, there was nothing to see under the wild sand dance, even the people behind him couldn't see their faces clearly, and they were all dead when they fled there. Several men behind him also helped dig the sand, and success or failure was in this move, all of them worked hard to eat as much as they could.
And those who had been injured by the stones, where could they get up and escape? Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, no one paid any attention to them, and six or seven wounded could only open their eyes and wait for death, and in a moment the sand did not reach their chests, noses, and heads, and at last it was as if these people had never existed in the world, and only yellow sand and dust remained in the city.
Li Yihang saw the wild sand raging under the city, pouring into the city, covering the sky and the sun, the light suddenly weakened in all directions, and the dark places were the roaring rumbling of quicksand, and he wanted to run to the exit, but only hesitated slightly, and the fine sand was already up to his knees. His whole body was covered with fine sand as small as flour, and his breathing was extremely difficult, but fortunately, when the yellow sand fell, he had already torn off a piece of clothing and covered his face to reduce the dust from entering his lungs. The rain of rocks and the yellow sand now, the floor of the tomb must have been two or three feet higher than the gap in the stone gate at this time, and there was no way to escape now, so he went to the stone pile in the southeast corner.
When the Beidou faction personnel entered the tomb, the stone pile had been built up nearly one zhang high, and now he could hold on for a while when he climbed up, he was originally in the southeast corner of the tomb, and it didn't take a moment of effort, he had already climbed the stone pile, but even if he stood on the stone pile, there was still a distance of more than two zhang from the top of the city wall, and he couldn't jump up at all. The yellow sand continues to pour and grow, and the roar is endless.
The quicksand rose so fast that it reached half the height of the rock pile in an instant. In a hurry, he suddenly saw a person waving his hands two feet next to the stone pile, and after a closer look, he found that it was Bao Geng, who did not run away with Ye Xijin to the tomb door, and also thought of the stone pile in hesitation, but he was far away from here, and it took a long time to walk and crawl, when he was only a stone's throw away, the quicksand had not passed through the abdomen to the chest, and it was difficult to move half a step, and when he saw a person standing on the stone pile, he shouted for help, but under the rumbling sound, Li Yihang could hear it?
Li Yihang stretched out his hand to pull him up to the stone pile, Bao Geng sat on the top of the stone pile and gasped for breath, and found out half a while later that even if he had martial arts, it was difficult to save his life. Sitting on this slightly higher place now, although it may not be able to live, at least it is not necessary to die.
Gordon and Song Tianquan, Huayuan and Beidou disciple Ou Yongzhang fought for less than a while, the quicksand has not reached the knee, and everyone is inconvenient to move, at this time, Gordon's "Heavenly Sword" finger qi shows his might, and constantly shoots sword qi at the enemy from a distance of three feet, and Song Tianquan's martial arts are not as good as the opponent, and now he stretched out his hand, and the tip of the sword is difficult to touch him. Fortunately, the air was filled with a lot of dust and sand, and the power of Gordon's finger qi sword was greatly reduced, Song Tianquan's injury was not serious, I thought that my senior brother Zhong Tianxuan would come in to help, and I couldn't see my senior brother's figure left and right, and after getting three air swords, he threw down the long sword and put his hands in the sand, and moved to Gordon's face as he moved. Although it is almost a scoundrel, this move is quite effective, Gordon's vision is clouded, the effect of the Heavenly Sword is greatly reduced, and in this instant, the quicksand has not reached the thighs, Gordon can't care about chasing and killing Song Tianquan, and begins to think about the way to escape. Over there, Xiang Huayuan and Ou Yongzhang also stopped, and opened their eyes to see that the quicksand was useless.
Song Tianquan wanted to pick up the long sword, as soon as the long sword fell into the fine sand, it was already in it, where can it be found? He is short and thin, others have no thighs, he has not reached the double strands, others have no shares, he has no abdomen, fortunately he found a boulder in the move, and hurriedly stood on it, the quicksand only reached his knees, this protruding boulder is like an island, Song Tianquan stood on this and did not dare to go, fortunately at this time a little far away from Deng, and he was not afraid of his elusive command.
Gordon is a shrewd person, and when the quicksand has no legs, he leans towards the city wall as soon as possible, and with the power of the city wall, the quicksand will be more and deeper, and it will not go down in a moment.
Huayuan, Ou Yongzhang, and the others were neither as lucky as Song Tianquan, nor as shrewd as Gordon, who knew how to lean against the wall, and were trapped in the sea of sand alive, unable to move. The momentum of the falling sand continued unabated, and soon it did not reach the chests of the four people, all four of whom were martial arts students, although the sand was flooded over their chests, they were still able to breathe. After a while, the quicksand had no shoulders, and the four of them all protected their chests with one hand to leave room to breathe, and the other hand was stretched out on their heads, hoping to catch some life-saving straw.
Just when Song Tianquan, Hua Yuan, and Ou Yongzhang were extremely desperate, and were ambushed by the quicksand in a blink of an eye, the roar gradually became lower, and the falling quicksand slowly stopped, and the six people in the city, including Li Yihang, all let out a long sigh. The quicksand fell to a depth of about five feet, just enough to cover the shoulders of an adult of medium stature, leaving a head above the sand.
At this moment, only a wind lamp in Li Yihang's hand shone dimly, and beyond the square radius of a square abbot in him, the entire city was shrouded in darkness. The four people trapped in the sea of sand looked at the light on the stone pile in the southeast corner, and Gordon shouted: "Hey, two brothers over there, do you have any ropes on you?" Li Yihang shook his head and did not answer, and Bao Geng shouted: "No." Gordon said angrily: "Why don't you even bring a rope, isn't the long rope your standard belongings for tomb robbers?" Bao Geng shouted: "Brother Gao, we are not tomb robbers, and we don't have the habit of carrying ropes. Gordon was even more furious and scolded: "What is not a tomb robber, as long as you enter Qin Tianshu's tomb, you are a tomb robber." ”、
Bao Geng saw that he was quite unreasonable, so he ignored him.
Gordon scolded again: "Lu Dingzhao stinky bastard, you deliberately did not bury us on the spot, but let us not move and wait for death slowly, your heart is really vicious!"
Li Yihang couldn't see the specific location of Gordon clearly, he could only judge from the sound that he was by the south wall, about six zhang away from him, originally he was trapped in the sea of sand, it was best to kill him at this time, but how to get to him was a big problem, shoot him with a stone, he couldn't see where he was, the distance was too far, even if he hit, it would not be lethal.
Gordon shouted again: "Hua Yuan, Hua Yuan, are you dead, where are you?" Hua Yuan replied: "Master, I am not dead, I am here." Li Yihang only heard Huayuan's voice and couldn't see him, listening to the voice, Huayuan was in the middle of himself and Gordon, about three feet away from himself.
