Mr. Zheng dodged to avoid my blow.
He let out a strange laugh similar to that of a baby, and then jumped back ten feet. It was as if the whole person had escaped the gravity of the earth, and he retreated ten feet away at the slightest step.
We have indeed fallen into a trap.
But I'm still not sure what kind of magic it is, and the person pretending to be Mr. Zheng might be the one who cast it.
Seeing that he was about to run away, I quickly followed him.
He was surprised by my speed, but he didn't show any timidity. There was no emotion in his completely black pupils. He raised his hands and grabbed my face.
I returned the favor.
Then, taking advantage of his neutral position, he kicked him away with a roundhouse kick.
With a flick of his wrist, three silver needles flew out.
Just hearing a strange scream, the thing's voice became farther and farther away, and then it disappeared far away.
When I came to my senses, Zhu Huan fainted three meters away, and Lao Sun and Mu Lingling were still unconscious on the spot.
Mr. Zheng fell to the side and gasped.
Seeing me walking over, Mr. Zheng said, "I knocked them unconscious. Did you solve it?"
"Solved!" Then I helped Mr. Zheng up. While I was supporting him, I could feel his pulse, which meant that he was a living person, but the one just now was not. This was also how I saw through him.
Then Mr. Zheng tapped Lao Sun and Mu Lingling on the lower back, and they woke up slowly.
As for Zhu Huan, he was still in a coma. He was the first to be affected by the technique and the one with the deepest degree.
Now one person is unconscious, and there is something neither human nor ghost peeping in the dark. Our best way is to wait where we are.
There was never a shortage of wood in the tomb, so I simply picked up some firewood and started a fire, one for heating and the other for lighting.
At this time, there is no need to worry about whether other things will see the fire and come looking for it. When the thing attacked us just now, there was no other thing, which means that it is the only one in this three-thirds of an acre.
A few of us sat around the campfire.
Mr. Zheng said: "This method of performing surgery is quite similar to that of people from Goulan."
"It's not just a check. I've seen that thing just now, and it doesn't look like a human at all." I dismissed this possibility.
"I'm just telling you the way." Mr. Zheng repeated what he said, and then asked: "Xiao Li, do you see anything?"
I shook my head and said no.
Then he added: "There is no way to deal with it now. We can only take it one step at a time."
When I said this, I was filled with powerlessness.
This was also the first time I felt powerless after leaving Lao Li's care.
After the bonfire burned out, everyone's physical strength recovered a lot, and Zhu Huan slowly woke up.
Setting off again, I used my knowledge of the mountains to find out the exit of this small tomb, which provoked Mr. Zheng to inquire again.
Push open the stone door at the exit.
The whistling wind was accompanied by a fishy smell.
If there is a fishy smell, it means there is water here.
When I looked under the light, I saw a swaying suspension bridge five meters in front of me, with an underground river below.
The closer you get to the suspension bridge, the stronger the fishy smell becomes.
I don't know if it was because of the light, but the water below suddenly started to boil, as if something was beating on the water.
I sniffed: "There's something in the water, don't get too close."
After saying that, I took off my backpack and took out the Xiongjian Ganjiang.
The sword was unsheathed, glowing with blue light.
I held the sword in my right hand and the flashlight in my left hand, and slowly approached the suspension bridge.
The length of the suspension bridge is at least thirty meters, and the height of the bridge deck from the water is not low. There is a height of seven or eight meters. Even if there is something big in the water, it is not realistic to rush up.
The river below is more like a moat, circular, with a square entrance on the other side of the river.
What's inside! Unknown; where it leads is unknown.
I squinted my eyes and looked at the water again. A black object slowly floated up and then slowly retracted. It looked like the head of a turtle.
I stepped on the broken wooden boards on the suspension bridge: "This suspension bridge is not easy to walk on. Zhu Huan, is your problem big?"
"My head is a little confused, but nothing else is wrong."
"There should be a tomb in front of it. This moat surrounds the tomb. There are either things or clues in it." After I finished speaking, I looked at Lao Sun.
Lao Sun said: "To be honest, this is the first time I have seen this kind of tomb. I have only heard people say before that wherever there is a moat, there must be princes and generals inside. This suspension bridge is probably difficult to cross."
Our conversation was intended to remind Mr. Zheng and Mu Lingling.
Mr. Zheng said: "I also learned some Qinggong back then. It will not be a problem to protect Lingling. You just need to take care of yourselves."
That's what I want.
Lao Sun said, "I'll go first. If anything happens, the shopkeeper will ask me to come back."
Lao Sun tied the climbing rope around his waist and walked forward holding on to the ropes on both sides of the suspension bridge.
After walking about seven or eight meters, I saw the water in the moat boiling again, and something seemed to be ready to rush up under the water.
When I was holding on to the climbing rope and about to pull it back, Lao Sun yelled, "Shopkeeper, don't pull me back yet. Wait a minute. There seems to be something on the other side."
I paused and continued to relax the climbing rope.
After walking a few meters further, Lao Sun suddenly screamed, and then his voice was hysterical.
When Mr. Zheng heard this old Sun's voice, his voice changed and he hurriedly came over to pull the climbing rope with me.
As a result, when we pulled away, we were left alone. Only one end of the rope was cut, and Lao Sun had disappeared.
There was no so-called sound of falling into the water, and there were no signs. A living person like Lao Sun just disappeared out of thin air.
For a moment, the four of us looked at each other.
At this time, Mu Lingling turned the flashlight into spotlight mode and shined it at the entrance of the tomb on the other side of the river.
I saw a man in red standing there, his long black hair covering his face as the wind blew by.
But the next second it disappeared out of thin air.
ghost!
Even though I don’t believe in ghosts and monsters, my first thought was also this.
It's so weird.
Gudong——
Zhu Huan swallowed, obviously wanting to back off, but since Lao Sun's life and death were unknown, he couldn't say this.
Mr. Zheng said: "Xiao Li, the matter is a bit serious. If we can't do it, we should leave. Whether it's the magic thing just cast or Lao Sun's disappearance out of thin air, it's too weird. This is something we can't solve."
Mu Lingling was also a little scared at this time, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
I took a deep breath: "Mr. Zheng, I won't say more about loyalty. I won't stop you from leaving if you want to. But once the tap stone is lifted, will the golden beetles outside rush in and kill you and Mu?" Will Miss Mu chew her to death? Furthermore, will that thing in the dark attack Miss Mu while you are carrying the stone? You can think about it yourself."
Mr. Zheng choked on my words and couldn't say the next words.
I said: "Now there are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. If we want to escape, we must break the situation. I don't have the ability to kill all the golden beetles behind us, but I can give this thing in front of us a try." "
"That's something unknown." Zhu Huan said tremblingly.
"Unknown doesn't mean invincible." After I finished speaking, I glanced at Mr. Zheng and Mu Lingling.
