Only then did Pang Qiu understand the purpose of Lu Liang's scolding him - he was afraid that if the crossbow arrow accidentally hit him, he would turn into a living hedgehog.
Lu Liang pointed to the crossbow arrows on the stone wall and said: "Look at the faint green color on the arrows of these crossbow arrows. Hey, this is naturally the poison on the arrows of these crossbow arrows." After saying this, his eyes widened. Qiu glanced at Pang Qiu.
Pang Qiu was dripping with cold sweat and said to himself: "It seems that it wasn't just the crossbow arrow that hit me. I'm afraid that if the crossbow arrow just passed by me, if I wasn't careful and scratched a little skin, I'm afraid my life would be in danger." .”
Pang Qiu said to Lu Liang, "Thank you very much. I will definitely repay you someday."
Lu Liang said coldly: "No need!"
The thin monkey quickly said: "We are sitting in the same boat now, so we must help each other." After that, he looked at me again.
This look in my eyes naturally told me to clearly distinguish my roles and not to think about divisions.
I smiled slightly and said, "That's absolutely true."
The ghost Taoist was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Lü Liang, I don't understand something."
Lu Liang frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The ghost Taoist said: "Since this stone gate is the soul-breaking gate and the heart-piercing gate with thousands of arrows, why is it only made on one side? Wouldn't it be better if it is flanked by two sides?"
Lu Liang was startled and said, "Oh no."
Before he could react, suddenly, I heard the sound of "ding ding" ringing again. I was shocked and felt that the situation was not good, so I quickly pulled Xu Miaofeng and hid in a corner.
"Hurry and hide!" I didn't forget to shout.
At this time, the other people had no time to think too much, and they all looked for bunkers to hide.
But they had just started, and the arrows were shot out. Lu Liang stood on the spot, the most unavoidable place, and in the blink of an eye, he was turned into a hedgehog.
I closed my eyes with regret. I thought he was a master, but I didn't expect...
"Sure enough, one can't be too confident." I shook my head and patted Xu Miaofeng underneath me, "Okay, it's okay."
Xu Miaofeng just got up, glanced at me gratefully, and said, "Thank you, you saved my life, I will definitely repay you!"
I smiled and said, "Stop it. The person who just said this is dead. I don't want to be the next one."
I looked at Lu Liang's body and sighed, "What a pity. What a good person."
At this time, Pang Qiu also got up and said: "This Lu Liang is too conceited, and he had expected his fate today."
This time, Shouhou didn't know what to say. Seeing his confidant die tragically, he had mixed feelings at the moment. It wasn't that it was a pity, but that his authority in the team had suddenly been reduced a lot.
"Well, people cannot be resurrected. This place is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's leave quickly." I looked at the stone door in front of me and continued: "I can barely cope with the mechanisms in this tomb. "
Shouhou knew that he could only establish a good relationship with me now, otherwise he would be in danger, so he quickly said: "It seems that this Dragon-seeking Taibao is indeed not a person who deserves his reputation."
Pang Qiu said respectfully: "Then we will just follow your lead."
"Let's go." After saying that, I immediately stepped forward, followed by everyone behind me.
Arriving in front of the Thousand Arrows Pierced Heart Gate, everyone's hearts were still filled with fear. I pushed it slowly with both hands, and the stone door slowly opened inward under my hands.
Behind the Thousand Arrows Chuanxin Gate is a long corridor with several stone chambers on both sides of the corridor.
The ghost Taoist held the fire folding piece and kept shaking it to check the situation around him. Under the light of the fire, a clear line of footprints on the corridor wound toward the south.
"This..." Ghost Taoist pointed at the footprints on the ground and said, "Skinny Monkey, look at these footprints -"
Everyone frowned. The thin monkey wondered: "How is this possible? Did someone get there first?"
"The footprints on the ground were very heavy, and they don't look like they were left by normal people." I squatted on the ground and touched the footprints and said.
"That makes sense." Thin Monkey nodded. At this moment, Shouhou naturally understands that everything here must obey my arrangements. The strong will be respected and the winner will be the king. This is an eternal truth.
I said in a deep voice: "Let's keep walking."
The group of people immediately headed south along the corridor. Before they had gone more than ten feet, I suddenly stopped.
Pang Qiu couldn't hold back his momentum and actually rushed ten feet away in front of me. Suddenly, there was a loud rumble on the ground in the corridor, and a large pit with a radius of five to six feet immediately appeared on the passage ahead.
Pang Qiu was above the big pit and immediately fell into the pit involuntarily.
Pang Qiu was so horrified that he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, come and save me."
Xu Miaofeng rushed over in one stride, rushed to the pit, waved her right hand and pulled Pang Qiu over.
Pang Qiu hurriedly stretched out his left hand, and the fingertips of the two people touched, but he still took a step slower.
Xu Miaofeng still failed to grab Pang Qiu's left hand, and watched Pang Qiu quickly fall into the pit.
At this critical moment, a dark iron chain flew across the sky, wrapped around Pang Qiu's left arm, and lifted Pang Qiu up.
Pang Qiu's body popped out with a whoosh, and landed lightly on the edge of the pit. He stood on the edge of the pit with his legs, still unable to help but tremble slightly.
Xu Miaofeng hurriedly stepped forward to support her and helped Pang Qiu aside, "Are you okay?"
They both looked at me and saw that I was holding an iron chain in my hand. They knew that if I hadn't taken action in time, Pang Qiu's life would really have been lost.
I frowned and said, "Be careful in the future."
Pang Qiu had a fever on his face and said, "Yes, yes."
At this time, the thin monkey said in a deep voice: "Look at the footprints, this guy obviously knows the mechanism in this corridor. When he came here, he suddenly leaned towards the stone wall, naturally he wanted to avoid the pit in the ground. . We’d better follow the footsteps of that person on the ground and don’t fall for the trap in this corridor.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After the discussion, everyone immediately followed me, walking slowly step by step along the footprints left on the ground. After traveling like this for a long time, I never encountered any trouble.
Everyone felt relieved and walked faster. Seeing that there were still more than thirty feet left, we walked to the end of the corridor. Suddenly, there was a rattling sound from the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, and another burst of crossbow arrows came towards us like rain.
This time the arrow rain came unexpectedly.
I didn't have time to take care of the people behind me. With one arrow step, I jumped up quickly and bounced to the end of the corridor with a whoosh, barely able to avoid the crossbow arrows that were as dense as a rainstorm.
The thin monkey and others who were following me were horrified, and each waved their weapons to protect themselves. There was an endless sound of tinkling, and the hail of arrows all hit the weapons of Shouhou, Ghost Taoist, Xu Miaofeng and Pang Qiu, and they were shot to the ground.
Another scream followed, but it was Pang Qiu who couldn't help but let out a scream after being hit in the chest by one of the crossbow arrows.
After the arrow rain, everyone hurriedly turned to look at Pang Qiu, only to see that Pang Qiu had fallen to the ground on his back, with a crossbow arrow stuck in his chest.
The arrow shaft went straight through the chest, leaving only the tail outside the chest.
There is still a hint of green on the arrow tail.
Xu Miaofeng squatted on the ground and kept shouting loudly: "Pang Qiu." His voice was trembling slightly. Seeing Pang Qiu's eyes slowly fade away, Xu Miaofeng's heart slowly sank.
After a moment, Pang Qiu grunted, and then spit out gurgling blood. With a tilt of his head, his soul returned to the underworld.
Xu Miaofeng was startled, her pupils slowly shrank, and her lips were tightly closed.
It can be seen that the relationship between Xu Miaofeng and Pang Qiu should be good. Otherwise, they wouldn't often partner up.
The thin monkey looked around and saw that the rain of crossbow arrows on both sides of the stone wall had passed, and no other hidden weapons were coming. He immediately coughed and said in a deep voice to Xu Miaofeng: "There is no resurrection after death, so hurry up and leave."
Xu Miaofeng slowly raised her eyes from Pang Qiu, who was lying dead on the ground, and looked at the thin monkey.
Shouhou couldn't help but feel a chill in his body. It turned out that Xu Miaofeng's eyes were full of resentment. It seemed that Xu Miaofeng had already blamed Shouhou and others for Pang Qiu's death.
The thin monkey thought in his heart: "This evil woman is taking her anger out on herself, so you have to be careful not to fall into her trap." Then he slowly stepped back and gathered with Wan Dingyou.
Xu Miaofeng knelt down, slowly moved Pang Qiu's body under the stone wall, and put it away. Then he stood up slowly. The moment he raised his head, he buried all the grief in his heart. When he raised his head, his face was already full of calm.
I saw that Shouhou and Wan Dingyou had already joined me, and all three of them were looking at me.
Xu Miaofeng walked over slowly and said in a deep voice: "Li Rui, let's go."
I saw the expression on Xu Miaofeng's face as calm as water, and my heart changed, and I thought: "This woman is acting as if this incident has never happened. This kind of calmness is really rare." I nodded immediately and walked towards the end of the corridor. .
At the end of this corridor is another tomb. But there is no tomb door in this tomb.
The four people walked straight in. Under the reflection of the fire, they saw that there was no coffin in the tomb, only wooden barrels placed in circles around the walls of the tomb.
Each wooden barrel is as tall as a person, and the barrel is tightly covered with a lid, but I don't know what is in the barrel.
My eyes scanned the barrel once, and then landed on the floor of the tomb. After wandering around, I saw the footprints walking in from outside the tomb, stopping in front of a huge wooden barrel.
The footprints fell clearly in front of me.
My pupils slowly contracted.
The ghost Taoist blinked his eyes and whispered: "Li Rui, it seems that this ghost has hidden in this barrel."
I didn't speak.
