Chapter 21 On the Island - Counterattack
☆☆☆
Wang Shu asked, "You almost caught the scorpion, right?"
Yin Chen asked, "I caught five, what about you?"
Xiong Daiying said: "I have three here, Xiao Yi has two, and there are five." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yin Chen nodded and said, "That's enough." ”
"Since it's still early, why don't you go and see what can be done behind these stone gates. Wang Xu said, "Go and see if you can make people clear the way." ”
With that, he summoned the captain of the guard and a few soldiers to survey the crumbling stone piles on one side of the house.
Teng Chuliang was silent, thoughtful.
Chris suddenly thought of something: "Oops, I almost forgot." ”
Hong Qili frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just saw a blue scorpion and fell in, how did I forget. Her hands gestured, "It's such a big one!"
Yin Chen asked, "You're dazzled." He thought to himself: I have never heard Zhang Changbei talk about blue scorpions, and if they are so big, they are no longer scorpions, they are scorpion essences.
"Am I really dazzled? I really didn't see any sign of it when I came in, so I forgot about it......" Chris tapped his forehead and said, "No, there must be, it's the same color as the blue flame, it's so strange!"
A few of them were talking, and Bei Sanqi happened to hear it on the side, and as soon as he heard the words "blue scorpion", his eyes flashed with essence, and he immediately searched for it in the corner of the room.
He walked into the corner, and a small snake crawled down from his wrist, exactly the same three-color pointed snake that was killed by Qiu Yulong that time.
He bent down and laid the snake on the ground, and then whispered, "Obediently, go and find the blue scorpion for your father." ”
After the little snake landed, it hissed and spat letters, and looked left and right with its pointed head, but for some reason it stopped in place and did not move.
"What a daze, go quickly!"
The snake hesitated, but finally twisted its body and crawled into a corner.
In less than a moment, Bei Sanqi heard the sound of "hissing" again.
He quickly searched for the sound, and in the corner he found the little snake he had put away, and it poked its head out of a square hole.
It turned out that this was an airway for ventilation, and Bei Sanqi had to lie down, and saw the snake's head nodding in one direction. He looked at it, and although it was dimly lit, he could see eight blue round bean eyes, glittering.
Blue Scorpion!
In an instant, the scorpion turned around and ran away.
Don't be so anxious that he wants to drill into the hole, but no matter how small he is, he has a big head, and he can't get through. He cursed angrily, and then released two small snakes from his sleeves, causing them to fall to the ground.
"Quick, go after it!"
Don't wait at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and I can't wait for the little snake to return, and I can't wait. He drew a dagger from his body, trying to widen the hole wider.
His action alarmed the bystanders, and people gathered around to check it out.
Bei Sanqi chiseled a few times, and suddenly ran into an extremely hard place, making a sound of touching metal.
Teng Chuliang, who had been bored just now, suddenly said loudly: "Be careful, don't move at will, there may be a mechanism in this room!"
Seeing that Bei Sanqi didn't listen to the dissuasion, Hong Qili shouted angrily: "Stop!"
This sound scared people and shuddered.
As soon as the words fell, they heard something behind them.
"Not good!"
Chris and Hong Qili remembered at the same time that the door of this room fell with a "bang", and they rushed back, but it was too late, they were several feet away, even if they were transported lightly, they couldn't catch up with the speed of the stone door's fall.
The way to come was blocked, the road ahead was unknown, and everyone stared at Bei Sanqi hatefully.
However, before everyone could say anything to reproach, they heard a "squeaky lala" sound from a corner of the room, sharp and piercing, and everyone looked up, and saw that a crack appeared above the pile of stones that Wang Shu sent people to clean, and a huge granite slab fell down and smashed on the pile of stones, and the slabs and gravel rolled down and smashed to the side.
Falling to Zi Ling and Huang Jingjing, who were standing there to see how Lord Wang commanded the manpower, this sudden accident made them in a trance, they didn't know what they stepped on, their bodies were crooked, and they saw that the huge stone slab was about to fall down, only Wang Xu, who was three feet away from them, rushed over when he saw this, and took them to the side, and the huge stone slab rubbed their bodies and fell to the ground.
Before the three of them could take a breath, a crack opened where the stone slab fell, and the ground under them suddenly collapsed.
The green-bearded old man reached out and grabbed Wang Xu's sleeve in an instant, but the sleeve quickly tore and broke. The old man hurriedly jumped down with him, only to see him wave the hardwood cane in his hand and smash the gravel that fell from several people together. When the volley fell, he "snapped" and threw the cane downward, and a small half of the cane was poked into the stone wall, and the old man's foot stepped on the cane, and the big sleeve danced, and the silver silk in the sleeve flashed, and the three people were held in his arms, and they jumped down with them, and fell to the ground steadily.
When everyone saw the danger in front of them, they shouted and screamed, especially Chang Yutong screamed the loudest, he seemed to beat a drum in his heart, and secretly said: Lord Wang can't have an accident.
Hong Qili was also surprised when he saw the old man's series of actions, this person is extraordinary, has strong internal strength, and is definitely a number of characters in the rivers and lakes, but he has never seen it, thinking that he is by no means as simple as a strategist beside Lord Wang.
Accidents come and go quickly.
Several people were unharmed, except for Wang Xu, who lost a large piece of sleeve, he simply ripped off the broken sleeve, revealing his strong arms.
"My lord, are you alright?" Chang Yutong's head peeked above the cave.
"What can you do?" he thought for a moment and continued, "What's the situation up there?"
"The exit door is closed. ”
Hong Qili walked over and replied: "The door is controlled by the mechanism, I tried it just now, but I can't push it open if I push it hard!"
Teng Chuliang said: "It should have touched the mechanism, I estimate that the door fell just now, and the door on this side should be opened, it may be that the previous collapse destroyed the mechanism that controlled the opening of the stone door, which caused the huge stone slab above to fall." ”
Wang Shu nodded, thinking: This surnamed Teng obviously knows some tricks, so he asked: "Teng Zhuangshi, can you take someone to check if there is still a mechanism to open the stone door that enters!"
"Okay!" Teng Chuliang turned around and motioned to Chris and the others to discuss how to find the mechanism.
"Xiao Hei, you send a few people down, let's explore from here, if you can't find a mechanism to get out, there is only this way now. Wang Xuan said again, "Don't be idle above, first find a way to strengthen this place, save yourself from collapsing down again, and bury the exit." Remember to lower the rope ladder and go down, and then leave the two behind. ”
Wang Shu is worthy of being a talented general, and he is not chaotic in the event of an accident, and he commands properly.
Chang Yutong made a gesture, and the captain of the guard hurriedly jumped down with four people who were smashed open by the boulder slab.
"My lord, there is indeed a passage down here. "It turned out that when Wang Shu assigned the task, the old man with the green beard had already gone out to explore first. He pointed behind a few people and said, "This is a dead end, you can walk ahead." ”
Several people walked forward together, and found that this was a relatively wide underground passage, although it was not like the diamond-shaped granite that was paved with the walls when they came, and the walls on both sides were obviously made of earth tamped by people, and in some places they were reinforced with cross planks. It's just that the scale is so huge, where does it lead?
When they were a short walk away, there was a shout from behind. It turned out that Chang Yutong rushed over with everyone.
In this way, Wang Shu also understands, it seems that there is only one way to go to the dark now.
When we turned a corner, the road suddenly brightened, and the path changed its pattern, and the whole right-hand side was a cliff, and above it was a huge sinkhole, and the sun shone down from above. Everyone walked a few steps faster, stood on the edge of the cliff, leaned over and looked down, and the passage in front of them turned into a huge spiral stone staircase, spiraling downward, and it was impossible to see the end for a while. Looking up again, it is too far away from the exit of the sinkhole, and it is impossible to go up by light work.
Trapped inside, everyone inevitably showed a look of loss on their faces.
Mi Yu said anxiously: "Who knows if you can find a way out if you go down?"
Gao Liang'er replied: "It's better than staying on it and not being able to do anything!"
"It's not that you guys have to come down with you!" she said this, her eyes obviously looked at Ouyang Feng.
"No one dragged you down. ”
The two of them were fighting, and Huang Jingjing and Zi Ling didn't know what to say.
Mai Xiu, as the senior sister, hurriedly said a few words of comfort.
Chris felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, she was more concerned about the current way out, and glanced at the bottom of the cliff again: "Look at this height, go down further, even if you find the exit, you will definitely reach the beach." ”
Hong Qili took out the map on his body to check, Teng Chuliang also leaned over to look at it, and said, "What the virtuous brother said is the same as I expected. According to Teng's observation, there is likely to be an exit below, probably the same as the exit of the door that Lord Wang tried to clear just now. ”
I don't know why as soon as he spoke, everyone's hearts became much more steady.
Chang Yutong also comforted in a timely manner: "Don't be impatient, Lord Wang arranged for someone to stay behind before going down the cliff, and they will naturally come to find us if they can't wait, rest assured, rest assured!"
Wang Shu pointed to the bottom: "If you come, you will be safe, let's go down, but the road is steep, everyone be careful of your step, don't fall down." ”
Walking down the long slope, the passage under their feet went to the whirlwind stone staircase, and there was a difference in height between them, and it turned out that there was a wooden ladder here, because the dampness in the cave was too great, and it had long since rotted.
Hong Qili and Teng Chuliang, two big men, stood on both sides, put their hands together, and let everyone step up.
Naturally, there is no need for light work, Yin Chen jumped lightly and jumped up.
The old man with the green beard, with Wang Shu and Chang Yutong, also jumped up.
The people behind went up one after another, and the long slope did not come to an end, and Bie Sanqi at the end of the team continued to walk down the slope.
There, he finally found the three small snakes he had released, and they stayed where they were.
What is the situation? Don't ask Sanqi: "Wait, why don't you come back and report the news?"
Three little snakes, shaking their heads, as if they were drunk.
He grabbed his snake and touched it in his hand, and was very surprised at the moment, and said to himself: Why has the body temperature become so high? He immediately took out a small green wooden pipe from his arms, drank a few sips, and squirted a big mouthful on the snake with a "poof". Then they crawled back on him, and seemed to be waking up, their points jerking in one direction again.
Bei Sanqi looked up, and the direction pointed by the head of the snake was a mound of earth. He took out his dagger and gently dug through the dirt, and after a few diggings, he saw a puddle of blue water. He had seen this thing when he first entered the passage of the mountain crevice, and it was not a puddle at all, so he poked it down with his dagger, and after poking it two or three times, he could not see any movement with all his might, so he had to give up.
"It's a weird day!" he smacked his lips as he kicked the pile of dirt hard.
When they returned to the crowd, only Hong Qili, Teng Chuliang, Chris, Xiong Daiying and a few soldiers had not yet boarded.
Tuwa stood on it, suddenly pointing behind them, "Whoa, whoa!!" and screamed.
Chris turned to look in the direction he was pointing, and a large blue scorpion slowly climbed up from the bottom of the slope.
Chris saw that the scorpion was larger than the one he had first seen, and its whole body was crystal blue and clear, and its carapace shone more vividly.
Yin Chen thought to himself: I didn't expect that there was really a blue scorpion! I thought that the black flying scorpion was already a highly poisonous thing, let alone such a big blue scorpion. So he reminded: "Everyone be careful!"
Bei Sanqi walked halfway, turned around and saw the object, danced with his hands, and said with a smile: "I really let the old man find it, and this guy is a good thing at first glance." ”
He took two steps forward, pulled out a black bamboo tube tied next to the leather bag on his belt, poured out two large white pills from it, pinched it in his hand, and waited for the blue scorpion to take two steps closer, and threw it towards the scorpion with full grasp.
As soon as the two white pills landed on the blue scorpion, they turned into colorful smoke and engulfed it.
Don't be surprised and waited.
In the smoke, everyone vaguely saw that the blue scorpion was still crawling, and it looked indescribably weird.
Don't believe in evil and threw out two more white pills, and scolded Nanjiang dialect in his mouth, no one could understand it, but everyone knew that he loved to scold these when he was in a hurry.
The white pill is the most powerful drug he has concocted, Bei Sanqi has always liked to catch it alive, he has never encountered a poison that is not dizzy before, and now he has really encountered a powerful character.
The smoke cleared, and the blue scorpion was intact and seemed to speed up its crawl.
Don't Sanqi completely lost his temper, turned around and ran back.
Sure enough, it was not an illusion, the scorpion climbed faster and faster, and caught up in a blink of an eye.
The blue scorpion behind him had already tracked down, and he turned his head to see that behind the big scorpion, there were two slightly smaller blue scorpions, trembling their tail spines and crawling upward.
Don't Sanqi turned his head and threw out three small snakes.
As soon as the little snake landed, it still spit out the letter, twisting its body and crawling towards the scorpion. When they came face to face with the three scorpions, they stopped motionless on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the waving claws cut off the snake's head.
Seeing that the three scorpions counterattacked, getting closer and closer to them, the people below couldn't help but shiver.
Bei Sanqi squeezed to Teng Chuliang's side, urging the front and said, "Hurry! The old man wants to go up!"
