Lin Yi placed Wukong in his arms, made a simple version of the mask out of gauze, put it on, climbed down the rope ladder, and joined Wang Qiang and the others.
The others followed him and descended to the ground one by one.
I turned the flashlight to high brightness and added a headlamp to see clearly what was going on here.
It was already the penultimate floor, and the area was not very large. There was a layer of damp black soil under the feet, exuding a putrid smell.
There was no grass growing around, and in the middle, Lin Yi saw the source of the miasma he had been looking for: the Voodoo Master's plant.
There are about fifty or sixty plants in the entire patch.
This plant, which can release highly toxic miasma, is currently wrapping its buds tightly.
It likes yin but not yang, and it usually releases miasma at night.
It's sleep time now.
"Everyone, be sure to wear your own gas mask. The patch in front is the famous 'Voodoo Master' plant. It is still dormant now. Let's walk around it.
If we still can't reach the lower level before the sun sets, we can only go back along the rope ladder first, and we must not spend the night here. "
Lin Yi reminded his teammates loudly.
Everyone also expressed that they had received his message.
The area of this floor is almost the same as a basketball, except that it is closer to a square.
There is nothing here except the soft black earth under your feet and the "Voodoo Master" in the center.
The wall was also dark, as if it had been plastered with a layer of asphalt that hadn't solidified yet.
Don't even know what it is.
Everyone walked around the "Voodoo Master" plants but didn't get any useful information.
"Old Lin, I guess the Burmese King thinks that no one can make it to this level alive, so he might as well use this plant to stand guard for him for the last time.
Moreover, the soles of his feet were sticky and he didn't know what he had stepped on. There was definitely no way out.
I thought, if there is a passage to the lower level, it must be hidden under the poisonous plants.
If I had such a big yard, and if I really had something important buried in the ground, I would definitely tie up a big wolf dog in front of it. "
Wang Qiang can always use plain and simple language to explain a truth clearly.
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
All the displays in this tomb passage have taken into consideration that he will come out to take a look after he "woke up", so the passage will definitely not be set up as a dead end.
If Mang Bai regards this as the last barrier to enter his tomb chamber, the surest and safest way is to open the exit to the lower level in front of the "Voodoo Master".
Letting these highly poisonous plants guard the door for him, isn't it just like a big wolfdog guarding the door?
It's a pity that even though Mang Bai had exhausted all his traps, he didn't expect that he would encounter a group of kick-fighting masters from China.
A lieutenant general from Faqiu led three captains who touched gold.
With this configuration, there is no fight they cannot defeat.
"If you want to try to find where the hole is, now is the best opportunity. After the sun goes down, if you try to get close to this strain, the risk factor will only increase exponentially."
After saying that, Lin Yi slipped Wukong out and gave it to Bai Lu for her to take care of.
He stuffed a dab of snake-eye cistanche powder into his mouth, held the knife and flashlight, and walked towards the "Voodoo Master" plant.
"Boss Lin!"
"Brother Lin, didn't you say that thing is highly poisonous?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just wait and see."
Several people stood behind Lin Yi, ready to watch him show off his skills again.
Unexpectedly, just as he was approaching those poisonous plants, Wukong suddenly let out a scream.
Lin Yi secretly screamed something bad.
It's too late to turn back.
A dry, white hand stretched out from the soft, wet soil under his feet and grasped his ankle tightly.
He struggled to free himself twice, almost throwing off the hiking boots on his feet, but still could not get rid of these two hands.
"I think you are looking for death!"
Lin Yi let out a dragon's roar from the sword in his hand, drew it out of its sheath, saw the position of the two hands, and slashed them down.
A cold light flashed, and both hands were chopped off.
There was no blood, just slowly disappearing into the black soil.
When he was about to take another step, a few more hands came out of the ground, grabbed his ankles, and tried their best to pull him into the ground.
"Everyone, let's go!"
As soon as the word "Go" came out, Lin Yi turned around and saw that Wang Qiang and the others were also tripped by the hands stretched out from the ground.
Wang Qiang picked up the engineering shovel with both hands and slashed at these white withered palms.
The palm was cut off at the root and submerged into the soil. A new hand emerged from the ground and continued to grab his trousers.
So does everyone else.
The hammer wielded his dog-leg knife, cutting over and over again on the soles of his feet like cutting rice.
These white arms are like some kind of plant in the ground, which cannot be chopped cleanly.
Everyone was too close to each other to dare to shoot easily.
Qian Sheng also took out the Longquan soft sword wrapped around his waist, shook it, and began to fight with these strange hands.
Bai Lu and Min Tun were somewhat inferior in equipment, so they could only hold an engineering shovel each to help themselves out of the siege.
Everyone was so busy taking care of themselves that they had no time to help those around them.
Achang can only move one arm, and it will be more troublesome if he loses his balance on his feet.
Fortunately, his hands were quick enough and he carried a double-edged dagger, which could chop and stab.
"Don't compete with these things. Get away as soon as you get the chance and run toward the rope ladder!"
Lin Yi pulled off the gas mask and shouted to everyone.
There were already more than a dozen strange hands under his feet, each one trying their best to pull him underground.
Wang Qiang and Tie Hammer now have an absolute advantage in terms of weight.
Seven or eight strange hands grabbed their trouser legs and ankles. As long as they could clear a space for their feet, they could break free from their shackles.
Seeing that Wang Qiang and Tie Zhui were temporarily out of trouble, Lin Yi reached out and took out the diamond umbrella from his bag and threw it towards them.
"Let everyone step on this!"
Wang Qiang took the umbrella in his hand and knocked it down. The leaves opened and spread out.
The two of them stood on the umbrella leaves, and the strange hands underground could not affect their actions for a while.
Seizing this opportunity, the two stood on each side, waving their weapons, and rescued all their teammates one by one on the diamond umbrella.
"Old Lin, what should you do?"
"Leave me alone! Find a way to get close to the rope ladder and climb to the upper level first."
Tie Zhui jumped off the Vajra Umbrella, held Achang and Qian Sheng's lower backs with both hands, and shouted loudly.
"ah!"
He forcibly pushed the Vajra Umbrella away on the dirt for a certain distance, and soon his feet were entangled by strange hands.
Wang Qiang imitated his example, jumped down, pushed the umbrella violently towards the rope ladder, turned around and helped Iron Hammer out of trouble.
Seeing that the rope ladder was close at hand, a sticky asphalt-like object on the wall near the rope ladder began to climb toward the rope ladder, as if it suddenly came to life.
