Chapter 43: Ambush and Dog Cave
The two men rushed to the ground in unison, and one of the bullets flew past the scalp of the hidden eyebrows, shattering a stone.
"Are you alright?" she shouted, her torch tossed to the ground, her bones rolling to the edge of the sarcophagus, and she quickly picked up her combo and aimed it at the barrel of the moving gun.
"Boom—"
"Not dead. Sether's voice came, and he was also raising his gun to shoot back, but the record was mediocre.
At this moment, a series of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the fires from the continuous shooting were in four places, indicating that at least four gun barrels were aimed at them from different angles, not including hidden fire. Bullets whizzed around them, dusting the walls, sarcophagus, and floors, and the black smoke from the high temperature of the gunpowder burned out, making people almost suffocate. The two torches on the wall were shattered by bullets, and their vision was now almost completely blind. In this case, the superiority of the crossbow became apparent, with small recoil, high quiver capacity, long duration and maneuverability in a single intensive attack. Hidden Eyebrow knelt on one knee behind a large rock and fired continuously in all directions, judging from the previous continuous gunfire becoming scattered, her counterattack suppressed the possibility of the opponent launching the next firepower onslaught.
"Boom—"
"How did you know how to aim?" said Setherlo's voice in surprise.
"Sense," the crossbow let out a series of hollow clicks, and the bow growled, "run out of arrows!
A heavy object was dropped on her lap, and she picked it up and pulled the trigger at the point where the gunshots rang out.
"Bah!Bah!Bah!Bah!"
"Bang!
A sharp pain came over her, and she was shot in the shoulder, and she staggered back when something blocked her, and then collapsed on a pile of rubble. Fortunately, she felt that she had been shot at least twice before she was injured.
"Are you still alive?" said Sether's voice.
"Not dead. ”
The ambush seemed to be over. Sethor re-lit the torches that had tumbled to the ground, and now he could see the coffins around them shattered, and the bones scattered from the broken stone slabs.
"Is it possible that they are hiding?" Hidden Eyebrow found himself sitting on a pile of bones, his thighs and abdomen covered in ashes.
"It's more likely that they escaped from the top compartment," Sether pointed to the top of the rock, "and they should have sneaked in from there, too." But I remember that compartment had been blocked more than ten years ago, and it had been secretly opened again?" he looked up, trying to find some clues. Yin Xinmei has heard people say before that there will be a partition on the top of the general indoor sacrificial activity place, mainly for smoke exhaust and enhance indoor air circulation, but from the outside, there is no difference from the general top floor.
"When did the song stop??" she snapped.
Sether shook his head. Neither of them remembered, but they were relieved to be relieved by the unsettling tone, and it seemed that the danger was over for now.
Now I can care about her wound, the bullet resting on her shoulder blade, blood still seeping out, staining the right half of her chest and sleeve.
Sether walked over and pulled her up, "Can you still hold on?"
"It depends," she said through gritted teeth, "as long as there is no second round of ambushes." We must get out of here, there are no more weapons to use. ”
"There's a secret passage here that leads to the outside. ”
"If you're going to climb to the top and walk through the compartment, I think I'm choking. ”
"No need to climb high, follow me. ”
Sether half-helped and half-dragged her, and the two of them finally came to the back of the stone chamber, where there were many dirty and old jars, the bottom row almost shattered, and the shards rolled everywhere. Sether kicked open the pile of jars in the corner, and suddenly black-green semi-solid matter flowed out of the cracked jars, sticky and sticky to the ground like thick threads, and the stinking dust echoed the ashes of their faces, revealing the walls that had been covered by the jars. Sether half-crouched down and looked at it, reaching out to hold down the inconspicuous pit in the wall.
A semi-circular hole slowly appears at the base of the wall.
It turns out that the secret passage is the dog cave.
Sesher climbed in first, and Hidden Eyebrows followed, the space of the dog hole was very narrow and difficult to climb, either hitting her head or shoulder, which made her already bleeding wound even more painful. The weather was cold, but she was still sweating from pain, and her clothes were sticky to her body, and she couldn't tell whether it was sweat or blood.
After about twenty minutes, they finally reached the exit, but the last short section was uphill, which was very difficult for her injured to climb, and she tossed for a long time and still did not rub it. Sether probably saw that she hadn't come out, so he reached back and pulled her up, and she felt her shoulder shatter.
Finally back to the ground! Yin Xinmei sat on the ground trying to catch her breath, but the cold wind, wounds, and cold sweat made her shiver involuntarily. Then she pulled out her undershirt and tore off it, bandaging the wound simply and quickly. Sether watched her from the sidelines and said nothing.
"P.H., is there a sentry nearby?" she asked in a low voice.
Sether pointed to a crooked tavern not far away, "In the past, the guards would change shifts there, but today I think they were ambushed as well. ”
At this moment, an unfamiliar rough voice came from behind, "Don't move! I order you to disarm!"
