Chapter 24: The Windmill Labyrinth, Necrophile (5)
Wei Mei didn't move, and when he was about to press it, cold smoke suddenly rose from his claws, and at that moment, Nangong Yu found that his finger joints had grown a little longer, and his nails had also become longer, like a ghost hand from hell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info then flashed a blurry white light, and it was impossible to see how many claws he had made, and then the short body came out of the space of three feet, and almost at the same moment the fire toad landed, and he was already three feet away, standing with his hands in his hands. The fire toad continued to pounce on him, its tongue bursting out. The ghost still didn't move, and when he was about to pounce, he grabbed it a few times with his "ghost hand", leaned over again, stepped on the wall and took four steps sideways, and reflexively landed behind the fire toad, and said, "The commander is ready." Tan Mian understood as soon as he saw the bright and hard belly of the fire toad, and when it pounced again, Tan Mian rushed up from behind the ghost, picked up the "giant fist" and hit it on the belly, and the landslide-like fist force knocked the behemoth away, hit the wall with a "boom", and slid down.
The fire toad kicked its legs on all fours, and its belly cracked like porcelain, and it died on the spot. Tan Mian stepped forward quickly, and immediately tore its belly, a puff of hot smoke came out, the green blood juice flowed all over the ground, and the room was immediately filled with a sour smell, Tan Mian didn't care, put his hand into the stomach of the fire toad, took Lin Xiangnan out, and threw it to the ground. In just such a moment, Tan Mian's hands were burned red by gastric juice. Lin Xiangnan was covered in white smoke, his skin was as red as burning, as if he had been coated with a layer of oil, and his skin would be burned after a while, and he would be hopeless.
Xiao Zhang immediately cut Lin Xiangnan's clothes with the knife, stripped him naked, and scrubbed him with water to cool down. Lin Xiangnan opened his eyes in a daze, and before he could speak, he opened his mouth and spit out a pile of green water, and there were still a few small insects wriggling in the green water. Lin Xiangnan felt even more disgusted when he saw it, and spit out a few more mouthfuls, almost spit out the bile, and only after a while did he vomit it clean, drank a few sips of water, and relieved himself, and said: "Thank you two for saving me, I really thought I was dead when I was involved." As long as I can get out of here, I want to come back to this kind of place, I write backwards. ”
Tan Mian asked Lao Zhangtou and said, "How can there be such a monster here?" Lao Zhangtou said: "Many royal tombs have spirit protection beasts in them, and they can even breed for thousands of years. Toads and bats are each other's nemesis, usually bats will disperse to find food, and a small number of bats become food for toads. If there are more bats, the toad will be bitten to death. And when we passed through the 'garden', we saw the fire cloud snake, this snake could not have escaped into the tomb by chance, it must also be a kind of tomb protection beast. There are usually a lot of them, bats are examples, fire toads and fire cloud snakes are just alone, there must be a large number of other places, but be careful. Tan Mian nodded, the mood of the others was very low, the maze had not yet been broken, and they knew that there were still tomb protectors waiting for them, not to mention looking for treasures, whether they could get out alive was a big problem. Lao Zhangtou continued: "There are two more tombs, maybe you will be lucky enough to find the exit." ”
Unfortunately, as luck would have it, they had explored the middle and lower burial chambers and found that they were all identical, with no clues to be found. They all sat on the ground dejected, no one spoke, there was a dead silence, some of them were not in good spirits, and they had a feeling of despair and wanted to cry. This is the ancient tomb, once trapped by something that is not understood, it is easy for people to collapse.
Lao Zhangtou said: "That's it for tonight, let's go back to the tomb in front of us to rest, and find a way tomorrow." We had plenty of food and water and had no problem holding on for a few days. If a person can make a mechanism, he will definitely be able to crack it, and it is too early to be discouraged. Tan Mian said: "What Elder Zhang said is that if you listen to Elder Zhang, you can always go out." He Tongguang said: "Why do you want to go back to the tomb in front, isn't it good to rest here?" Lao Zhangtou said: "Although I still don't understand the reason for these tombs, I can see that the front tomb is the entrance, and the back three tombs are the exit, and the exit must be more dangerous than the entrance." When everyone heard him say this, they had no objections, and they sorted out their burdens and climbed back to the stone road.
Nangong Yu and Ouyang Ye had always been the last to leave, but this time Tarip moved slowly and was also squeezed behind. When it was Tarip's turn to go up the stone path, he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the stone cave, and was about to climb up, but Ouyang Ye suddenly stepped forward and tore him off, swinging his knife and cutting off his head. His knife was so fast that blood spurted out when the corpse fell, and Ouyang Ye kicked his head away.
Nangong Yu and Lao Zhangtou were both startled, and Lao Zhangtou was so frightened that he took two steps back and said, "You are... Ouyang Ye said with a smile: "Old man don't panic, this kid is a traitor to my sect, and he has long said that he will kill him, and now he has a chance." Lao Zhangtou nodded, looked at the corpse, and said, "According to the rules, I want to leave a mark in the tomb, it seems that there is no need." ”
They returned to the burial chamber at the bottom of the front, tired from the day, and still trapped, all listless. He Tongguang's eyes swept around, and he said strangely: "Why is there one person missing? What about the kid?" no one answered. Tan Mian, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes and glanced at Ouyang Ye, and said, "If there is less, there will be less, but this kind of thing cannot happen again in the future." Ouyang Ye smiled and didn't speak.
The night went on and the next day a carpet search of the eight burial chambers was carried out, and no trace was spared, and when the last three were searched, the body of Tarip was gone, and there was no blood on the ground. Not only that, but the marks left by Xiao Zhang in the two rooms above are also missing. They wondered if someone had cleaned up the bodies and the markers? Wasn't the tomb sealed and had an opening to enter and exit? They searched for a whole day, but still found nothing.
The atmosphere of this night was even more solemn, and He Tongguang, who was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, was pale and haggard, and it seemed that he might cry anytime and anywhere. Xiao Jiu also frowned, thinking about his thoughts. Lu Zhongjing, He Qiuhua, Zhu Shu, Fifth Master, Seventh Master, and Lin Xiangnan were all silent. Tan Mian closed his eyes silently, Wei Mei leaned against the wall with his arms on his pillow, Lao Zhangtou crossed Erlang's legs and smoked a dry cigarette, while Nangong Yu held the dagger given to him by Xiao Jiu, and he didn't know what he was drawing on the ground.
Ouyang Ye said: "Are you still in the mood to paint? What are you drawing? That Lai toad?" Nangong Yu smiled, did not speak, and after a while, he finished painting, and said: "Old man, do you see if this is the case." Old man Zhang spit out a puff of cigarette, knocked on the cigarette ash, inserted the dry cigarette in his belt, walked over to take a look, and squatted down with a solemn expression after taking a look, staring at what Nangong Yu was painting. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands, and said with great joy: "I understand! It turns out that this is the case! I didn't expect that the seemingly simple tomb was such a huge project, and the King of Gaochang also counted his blood capital." ”
Everyone came to the spirit when they heard it, and they gathered to take a look, only to see Nangong Yu draw a bunch of large and small squares on the ground, connected by a line in the middle, I don't know what it means. Xiao Mei smiled: "Little prodigy, what do you mean?" ”
Nangong Yu said: "Everyone knows about windmills, but in fact, the three tombs in the back are based on the principle of windmills. As he spoke, he pointed to a small grid on the far left and said, "This is the burial chamber where the trigger mechanism has been flooded by quicksand." At that time, we only found a passage down the tomb, and there was no mechanism stone slab on it, which means that it was a separate burial chamber, that is, the entrance, and now that the entrance has been sealed, we can only go forward. He pointed to a small lattice connected by a straight line next to him, and said, "This is our current location, located on the middle floor of the three-story burial chamber, and I have replaced the upper and lower burial chambers with small lattices. Then he pointed to the three small compartments behind him and said, "These are the three rooms where we found the mark disappeared when we went to search today." After speaking, he pointed to a large grid behind him and said, "It's all about making trouble." ”
