"You still have time to worry about it eating meat and vegetables!" Luo Laoqi didn't understand the meaning of Xia Houyun's words. He stood on the edge of the stone steps and had just been kicked into the cave by a rock-opening beast. But when he lowered his head and looked down, he saw Seeing the dark shadows moving on the stone steps of the cave, and more giant rats coming like a tide, he quickly shouted: "Think of a move quickly! Another group is coming down below, and Sajia can't stop it!"
"Siniang, hurry up and seal the road with fire oil!" The grim-faced Taoist priest was entangled by the giant rat and couldn't move his hands and feet, so he could only shout loudly to He Siniang.
Hearing this, He Siniang hurriedly opened her backpack and rummaged around, but she asked: "The escape route is below, why not seal us with fire..."
"What's the point of retreat? There are giant rats down there, and there are also some on the right. Now we can only retreat to the uphill cave for the time being!"
He Siniang didn't waste any time, and quickly took out the last two cans of kerosene in her backpack, and then smashed them towards the exit of the stone steps.
At this time, a giant rat rushed out of the cave and threw himself in the face of the splashing fire oil. Seeing this, Luo Laoqi raised his torch and lit it. At the same time, he raised his foot and kicked the giant rat in the chest. The giant rat wailed and backed away. Lying up, the fur all over his body caught fire, and instantly rolled into the cave like a ball of fire.
The flaming giant rat was so frightened that it was like a headless fly that plunged its head into the rat swarm. The rat swarm below immediately exploded, burning, trampling, and biting each other. The momentum of the rush was sluggish.
Luo Laoqi cursed to relieve his anger, and then immediately turned around to help the others. Everyone worked together to eliminate several giant rats around them. Only then did the grimace Taoist priest have time to ask: "Is it sealed down below?"
Luo Laoqi nodded, and then said: "But there are too many of those beasts, I'm afraid we won't be able to seal them for a long time."
"Sooner or later, the kerosene will be extinguished. It will definitely not be sealed. Go and grab Senior Xiahou. Let's withdraw now."
"But what if it's a dead end..." He Siniang couldn't help but ask again.
The grim-faced Taoist had long known that He Siniang was prone to confusion in desperate situations, so he could only patiently explain: "I have measured the height of the cliff cave before. It is definitely not as high as it is now. There must be a fork in the road leading to the entrance of the cave. Let's go up." Look for the entrance of the cave while walking, and when you find the entrance, use the flying lock to climb down the cliff. This is the only possible way to escape now."
"The Taoist Master is right." Xia Houyun said tremblingly at this time: "The Kaiyan beast is a kind of evil beast that lives in the group. It is numerous and cruel by nature. If we go down, we will definitely be dead. We can only find another way up. Only then can we have a chance of survival.”
"Then leave quickly, the kerosene will burn out in a while." Luo Laoqi said, walking over and helping Xia Houyun.
The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at He Siniang: "Let's go, Siniang?"
He Siniang nodded: "Well, let the senior go first, and I will help the queen."
Everyone immediately got into the upward cave one after another. He Siniang did not forget to look back before leaving, and saw the shadow of fire swaying in the passage on the right. The wall of fire built could not be extinguished in an instant. The only plan for now was to You can retreat upwards, otherwise when the giant rats on both sides come together, everyone will not be able to resist it even with three heads and six arms.
The Taoist priest with a grimace was still clearing the way in front of the team. He walked very fast, thinking that if he found the entrance to the fork in the road as soon as possible, everyone would have more hope of escaping. However, after walking for half a stick of incense, the Grimace Taoist discovered that the tunnel was spiraling upwards, but the expected fork in the road never appeared. The further he walked, the more unsure he became, and he even gradually began to suspect that this tunnel was actually the A dead end.
Luo Laoqi, who was behind him, began to ask about the road conditions in front of the grimace Taoist priest again. He had to climb uphill with Xia Houyun on his back, and he was already tired and wanted to give up. But the grimace Taoist priest understood that there was no way out now, so he could only comfort him with a few words of comfort, and then he bravely continued to move forward.
Everyone just walked for half a cup of tea. At this time, the cave in front began to become narrower. When they went deeper, the surrounding area had become the same size as when they first entered.
Before the grimace Taoist priest could get confused, a gray-white stone door suddenly appeared in front of him.
The stone gate was tightly sealed to the front road. A heavy black lock could be seen in the middle, and the lock was tightly closed. The Taoist priest with a grimace weighed the lock body with his hands and felt that it weighed four or five pounds. The lock ring was connected to two iron chains as thick as a little finger, and the two ends were buckled on the stone door handle.
The Taoist priest with a grimace saw that the iron chain was very tight, and he knew that if the iron lock was not opened, the stone door might not be able to enter, so he quickly turned his backpack in front of him and began to look for the hundred-turn lock-picking nail.
At this time, everyone gathered in front of the stone gate. When they saw this, they all wondered: "What is the place behind this stone gate that is worthy of hanging such a heavy lock?"
"Isn't it a more terrifying monster?" Xia Houxiang asked suspiciously.
"I can't control that much anymore." The grim-faced Taoist priest took out the hundred-turn lock-picking nail and immediately went to pry the lock core. He continued: "There is a big insect with eight legs behind him. We have to open this door. Is it possible to turn back now? Are you looking for a giant rat to fight for your life? Damn it...why can't you pry it open?!"
"Is the lock cylinder rusty?" He Siniang asked from behind.
"Yes or no... Grandma's lock has a very strange structure, and it's rusty..."
"Perhaps the principle of Yemu's lock is different from ours, so the lock-picking nail will be useless."
"What a damn bad luck! Hey! Lao Qi, hand the crowbar to Pindao."
"Taoist Master, you'd better hurry up." He Siniang stared closely at the depths of the tunnel behind her. When she walked through the corner, she deliberately lit all the torches on her body and built another wall of fire, but this wall of fire Obviously, it won't be as effective as kerosene, and the rising flames are only knee-high. If the giant rat wants to charge over, it won't be able to stop it for a moment.
As He Siniang spoke, fear gradually appeared in her eyes, because she heard countless rustling noises coming from deep in the tunnel, and it seemed that the group of giant rats had caught up.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace did not understand the meaning of He Siniang's words. He held the crowbar and inserted it into the iron chain to pry. Since the iron lock could not be opened, he could only use brute force to break the iron chain.
The area where the Taoist Ghostface pried was heavily rusted, but even so, the iron chain as thick as a little finger was not so easy to pry open. Seeing this, Luo Laoqi hurriedly went up to help. The two of them pressed and fell, and finally, with the sound of constipation-like exertion, a gap was opened by the iron chain.
Untying the iron chain, Luo Laoqi quickly opened the stone door on one side. The Taoist priest with a grimace saw the torch in his hand flash, and the dark wind behind the door actually blew the torch out.
Xia Houxiang hurriedly handed over the torch in his hand. The Taoist priest with a grimace took it and looked inside. He saw that behind the door were rugged mountains and rocks, with stone edges intertwined. There was only a space wide enough for one person to pass through - why did the back look like a place? Natural rock crevice?
