Chapter 168: The Bandit Appears
To be honest, Ye Chen also wondered if he had misheard it due to nervousness, because this voice only came out briefly, and after the first sound ended, there was no second sound.
That's why Ye Chen had doubts about his ears, and he even suspected that the voice just now was just the sound of the wind, maybe he accidentally heard it.
But as soon as this suspicion arose, it was ruled out by Ye Chen.
Because the sound really came from the darkness, it seemed so real, and there was no wind in the tomb at all, so it was even more impossible for there to be a wind. Besides, Ye Chen was also a magician with extremely strong mental power, so he clearly knew that he would never hear it wrong just now!
So, someone in the dark is indeed calling his name!
And the voice that called him by name was exactly the same as his own voice today, and there was no discrepancy!
Thinking of the "Ye Chen" on the mural before, coupled with the name now called out by Ye Chen's voice, the atmosphere in the tomb at this time is not to mention how depressing.
You know, in this eerie and weird and mysterious atmosphere, it is really unacceptable to suddenly hear someone in the dark calling your name, and calling your own name in your own voice.
At this time, I am afraid that no one will not be intimidated by this kind of scene, and Ye Chen will naturally find it difficult to remain calm.
At this time, Ye Chen couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his face turned pale, and in this cold burial chamber, his back even began to sweat in bursts.
Soon, Ye Chen's abnormal performance was discovered by the remaining three people, and it was obvious that the three of them did not hear the voice that Ye Chen had just heard, so for Ye Chen's nervous appearance, everyone showed puzzled expressions.
Ah Tian asked with concern, "Ye ...... Chen Ye, what's wrong with you? Did you notice something wrong?"
As soon as they heard Ah Tian mention this, Xiao Tianci and Yun Feixue immediately stopped their eyes on Ye Chen's body.
Ye Chen paused for a moment, then raised his head and slowly spoke, "Did the three of you hear any strange sounds just now?"
Xiao Tianci and the three of them shook their heads again and again, and it could be seen that they didn't hear any sound just now.
Ye Chen swallowed his saliva again, and then said nervously: "I just seemed to be ...... It was as if I heard my name called on the other side of the bronze door, and I heard it clearly, so I should have heard it correctly, but he only screamed. ”
As soon as Ye Chen's words came out, Xiao Tianci's faces suddenly changed.
Because the three of them really didn't hear any sound, naturally they didn't hear the voice mentioned by Ye Chen.
But they knew in their hearts that if they didn't hear it, it didn't mean that Ye Chen had auditory hallucinations.
After all, this tomb is really too weird, especially after experiencing those unbelievable scenes just now, the three of them will no longer feel strange about any weird scenes that may occur in this tomb at this moment.
Therefore, since Ye Chen heard the voice, it means that this voice must exist!
At this time, everyone on the field became nervous, and they all looked at the bronze door with complicated expressions.
After half a sound, Ah Tian was a little breathless, and he whispered in his deep voice: "In my opinion, instead of thinking about things here and being afraid of this, we might as well go outside the bronze gate and see what is there!"
Regarding Ah Tian's proposal, Ye Chen deeply agreed: "That's right, Brother Ah Tian is right, we might as well go out and see clearly, I want to see what kind of bull ghosts and snake gods dare to pretend to be ghosts there!"
"Brother Ah Tian, Brother Chen Ye, calm down. At this time, Xiao Tianci suddenly opened his mouth and analyzed, "Everyone, this tomb is extremely weird, I think it is very likely that the outside of the bronze gate will also be very dangerous." But judging from the current form, we have no way out, we can only keep moving forward, which means that we can only continue to move towards the bronze gate.
But we've come a long way, and I guess we've been trapped in this tomb for two days, and we haven't rested much in those two days, so we must be very tired. In my opinion, we might as well rest in place and wait until we have regained our energy before we set off. What do you think?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "What Brother Xiao said is extremely true, if we continue to move forward now, it is very likely that there will be unknown risks and challenges that will meet us. So I agree with Brother Xiao's point of view, anyway, we must set off, so it is better to adjust our state, and then set off after being fully prepared. Since the person outside the bronze door who just called my name didn't choose to show up immediately, then we can get along with him for the time being. ”
After hearing Xiao Tianci and Ye Chen's words, Ah Tian and Yun Feixue immediately nodded in agreement, and the four of them found an open space close to Dading, and then rested back to back.
The reason why you choose to rest back-to-back is nothing more than to see the surrounding environment clearly and prevent potential threats that may exist.
But before everyone could rest, they heard a sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the bronze gate, which sounded like there were quite a few people. And the sound of footsteps came from far and near, and it was obvious that the owner of the footsteps would soon appear in the sight of Ye Chen and the others.
At this time, Ah Tian stood up nervously, and his hands also clenched the iron sword in his hand. And Xiao Tianci didn't care about resting, he hurriedly stretched out his bow and arrows, and aimed.
As for Ye Chen and Yun Feixue, they also immediately entered the battle state, and seemed to be ready to launch a magic attack on the person who entered the bronze gate at any time.
Soon the owner of the footsteps finally appeared, and saw seven or eight strong and sturdy men come into view, and they stopped ten meters away from Ye Chen's four people.
Ye Chen judged through his spiritual power that these seven or eight strong men were all sixth-level magicians!
And after seeing Ye Chen and the four of them, this group of strong men was taken aback, they obviously didn't expect to see living people other than a few of them in this ghost place.
After a while, the scarred man led by several strong men suddenly walked out of the team, he looked at Ye Chen and the four of them with a hideous face and laughed: "Hehe, I didn't expect that we could meet living people in this place! After being trapped for so many days, someone finally came to send us supplies!"
Haha, I don't know how you got in, but it doesn't matter, because you're going to be a freshly baked corpse in no time. By the way, I advise you not to resist, because as long as you don't resist and are willing to obediently tie your hands and be captured, then our brothers can leave you a whole corpse. ”
What the scar man said was full of anger, and it could be seen that he was very confident.
At this time, several strong men behind the scar man also showed greedy glances at Ye Chen and the others, as if in their eyes, Ye Chen and the others had become food at their fingertips.
After hearing the scar man's words, Ye Chen and Ah Tian immediately reacted, I'm afraid that the scar man and his party in front of them are very likely to be the bandits they are looking for!
But the strength of this group of bandits is too strong! They are all sixth-level magicians! This is really a bit difficult to deal with!
Although he knew that the opponent's strength might be stronger than his own side, Ah Tian upheld the principle of not losing the battle, and calmly asked: "Are you guys just bandits hiding in the Old Dawn Mountains? Hmph! Let me tell you, Lao Tzu's name is Zhao Atian, and he is from Zhaojia Village in the Old Dawn Mountains! When you went to Zhaojia Village to grab food two days ago, you actually set fire to my family's house, and almost burned my mother! Hmph! It's really hard to find nowhere to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and today I'm going to seek justice from you dogs!"
After listening to what Ah Tian said, the scar man did not have a little fear, but he laughed out loud: "Hahaha, who did I think it was? It turned out to be a waste from Zhaojia Village! Hmph! I don't even have the talent to cultivate magic, so I dare to scream here! What a lot of courage! Hehe, since you are disobedient, let you taste the bitterness, little ones, give it to Lao Tzu!"
As soon as Scar Man's voice fell, the seven or eight strong men behind him suddenly came out and surrounded Ye Chen and the others.
One thing to say, although the situation is urgent at the moment, Ye Chen's heart is still full of doubts after seeing this scene.
Because this group of so-called bandits seems to have been trained for a long time, they cooperated tacitly and methodically throughout the siege, and it is no exaggeration to say that their tacit understanding is even better than that of the ace army of the Purple Gold Empire.
Coupled with the strength of all their sixth-level magicians, if this configuration were placed in areas such as the Spring Coast and the Shichirika Plain, it would already be considered a very powerful force.
But what these sixth-level magicians didn't do well, why did they want to be bandits? Moreover, they were still thieves who robbed ordinary people of food, which was really unreasonable!
So it's very likely that these people aren't really bandits.
So the question is, what is the purpose of their pretending to be bandits? Is it for this tomb? But whose tomb is this tomb, and what secrets are hidden in this tomb?
The picture returns to the battlefield.
Ah Tian was not afraid of the posture in front of him, he scolded loudly: "You old horseman, don't pretend here, his grandmother is still afraid that you won't succeed?"
After speaking, Ah Tian clenched the iron sword in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
At this time, Xiao Tianci whispered in Ye Chen's ear: "This group of bandits is numerous, strong, and well-trained, I'm afraid we are not their opponents. So we have a high probability of defeat, and it is only a matter of time before we will be defeated. Chen Ye, you will find a way to help me hold them back, as long as you buy me enough time, I have a way to help us get out of trouble. ”
Ye Chen asked in a low voice, "How long will it take you?"
"Ten minutes is enough. Xiao Tianci replied with great certainty.
