"Hua Muling? She...she's still alive? Could it be that everything I saw just now was just an illusion?" I looked at that delicate and anxious face and couldn't help but wonder in my heart.
When Hua Muling on the stone steps saw me waking up, she was happy at first, and became more anxious the next second.
I just heard Hua Muling pointing behind me and shouting: "Hu Tian, be careful! Be careful behind you!"
"Be careful behind me? What happened behind me?" I asked in surprise.
At the same time, I also discovered that my body, which was originally unconscious, could move freely at this time, which made me feel very happy.
But this joy was fleeting, because at this moment, something extremely slippery slowly wrapped around my neck.
My heart tightened, and I hurriedly turned my head to look behind me, but since I was hanging upside down in the air at this time, it took a lot of effort for me to turn around.
But what I never expected was that the moment I turned around, what appeared in front of me was densely packed hundreds of mummies hanging upside down.
I saw that each of them had their mouths wide open, with expressions of pain on their faces. For some reason, their whole bodies showed a fluorescent green color, floating around in the air, looking like lonely souls from hell. Wild ghost.
Among these mummies, a thin and long spike stained with dark green mucus was approaching me little by little.
The sharp thorn grows on the top of a rhizome, and the posture of bending down and raising its head is like the most venomous snake, approaching its prey little by little.
I couldn't help being shocked when I saw this, and then I yelled: "Grandma, this thing actually exists! This guy..."
The stem suddenly turned around when I saw it, and the part wrapped around my neck pulled back without hesitation. The huge pressure made me seem to hear the "click" sound of my tibia at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, the stem swayed, and the long spike pierced towards my face.
Although I wasn't sure whether the scene I saw in the illusion before was real, I also knew that there would be no good consequences after being stabbed by that thing, so after I saw the long sharp thorn stabbing me, I felt a lot of pain in my heart. I couldn't help but feel a chill.
The spikes came very quickly, and were in front of me in just one breath, less than two or three centimeters away from my forehead.
Seeing this, I secretly shouted in my heart: "It's over! I'll tell you what I'm doing here today!"
But at this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound, and a spear flew towards this side.
The stem originally only wanted to kill me, and didn't notice the existence of the spear at all, so it couldn't dodge. With a "bang", it was penetrated by the spear, and it was heavily nailed to my body. On the far stone wall.
And under the inertia, I was thrown onto the wall with a "bang". The huge impact made my eyesight go dark, and then countless bright little stars popped up.
I was just about to curse when I heard a man shouting from another step not far away: "Hu Tian, you owe me one more time!"
The person who spoke was none other than Xiong Ming.
I struggled and looked sideways at Xiong Ming. I saw that Xiong Ming was covered in injuries. The short-sleeved T-shirt he was originally wearing was no longer there. I didn’t know where I got a shabby black one. The robe was wrapped around him.
Xiong Ming's left hand was lowered, and his right hand held a Tang knife he got from somewhere. He was chopping left and right, and was fighting for his life with four or five roots as thick as calves.
At the beginning of the period, the boy's movements were still very fierce and fierce, but as time went on, he couldn't bear it anymore. Large streams of black and red blood flowed down his left arm. After a while, he was already It dripped all over the ground.
"This guy's blood loach injury is serious again!" I said anxiously in my heart: "If this continues, no matter how hard we find an antidote, he will die immediately!"
Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out the knife I had always carried with me from my pocket. I was so anxious that I almost threw the palm-sized knife aside.
After holding the knife firmly, I held the handle backwards and inserted the knife into the stem wrapped around my neck.
There was a "puff" sound, and the three-inch-long blade was almost completely pierced into the stem. The dark green juice splashed everywhere in an instant, all over my body and face.
However, I didn't care so much anymore and let the fishy-smelling juices slide down my face, and a few drops even flowed into my mouth.
I spit fiercely to the side, pulled out the knife as quickly as possible, and then repeatedly hit the root wrapped around my neck seven or eight times.
The stem was in pain, struggling and twisting in an attempt to escape backwards, but the front end of it was pinned to the rock wall by the spear. After struggling for a long time, it was still to no avail.
And I took the opportunity to stage a good show of "ant biting an elephant to death", and used the knife in my hand to cut the calf-thick rhizome into two pieces.
As soon as the stem was broken, the restraints around my neck and ankles were immediately loosened.
Immediately afterwards, there was an indescribable feeling of weightlessness. I subconsciously reached out and grabbed at the stone wall, hoping to catch something so that I would not have to turn around and step back again after just stepping out of the gate of hell.
Having said that, I absolutely need to mention where I am now.
This place looks like a half-artificial, half-natural dome cave. Although it is different from the ones I have seen before, it still looks like an altar. The natural stone steps on both sides are covered with strange runes. The sides of the wall are also covered with strange murals.
In the center of the altar was a big tree surrounded by ten people, with hundreds of mummies hanging down from it, turning the place into a purgatory on earth.
And there was a black coffin wrapped in the middle of the tree. The coffin was extremely dark, and the outside was locked with an iron chain as thick as an arm. It was unknown who was lying inside.
In addition, according to my preliminary calculation, the vertical distance between the top and bottom of this place is at least twenty meters. If it fell, even if it did not die, it would probably be half disabled.
What made me almost desperate was that the stone wall was so smooth. I scratched in the air with my hands and feet for a long time, but couldn't find even a single crack.
After one or two breaths, I fell straight down from a height of more than ten meters.
But at this moment, four or five black shadows flashed, and four or five extremely smooth roots fiercely wrapped around my waist, hands and feet.
The power of these roots was so great that the joints all over my body suddenly cracked and exploded, and my whole body was almost torn into pieces by those roots.
I gritted my teeth because the vines were competing with each other, but Xiong Ming and Hua Muling were not much better than me.
Xiong Ming had an extra-long Tang Dao in his hand. After barely holding on for a while, his right foot was entangled by a particularly thick rhizome. In a moment of concentration, two rhizomes followed closely and killed this guy. It was tied up tightly and hung in the air like a rice dumpling.
However, even though this kid was still talking, he kept yelling: "Grandma, if you have the guts to fight me with real swords and guns, and engage in sneak attacks, I will wipe you out, how can you be a hero?" !”
After listening to this kid's words, my nose almost ran out of breath and crooked. I gritted my teeth and cursed: "Dali Xiong, is your brain flooded? You are fighting against a tree. Why are you not a hero? ? When you have this time, think about how to run!"
Just before I finished speaking, there was a sudden scream from Hua Muling on the other side.
I hurriedly turned my head to look at Hua Muling, and saw that she was entangled with seven or eight roots. But what surprised me was that those roots did not seem to intend to drain Hua Muling's essence, but It was Zheng who kept dragging her towards the center of the tree.
I shouted anxiously: "Hua Muling!"
"Hu Tian! Save me!"
And at this moment, the strange bell rang again.
Only this time it no longer sounded regularly, but became fast and urgent. At the same time, the big black coffin locked by iron chains suddenly moved, and then a dry black hand slowly stretched out from inside and grabbed Hua Muling.
"There are zongzi!" I was shocked.
But what makes me depressed is that at this time, I am a mud bodhisattva who can't save myself when crossing the river. I can't spare any effort to save Hua Muling. I can only watch her being dragged by those roots to the big black coffin.
And just when I was extremely anxious, a sudden violent explosion came from the left side of the three of us. Because I was unprepared, the huge roar almost penetrated my eardrums, making me lose my mind in an instant. hearing.
Immediately afterwards, the smell of countless rubble mixed with gunpowder spread throughout the entire altar.
Dust flew everywhere, choking me and coughing repeatedly. Tears and snot flowed down my face. The energy was extremely uncomfortable.
Before I could understand what was going on, a dozen black shadows poured in from the breach.
Because there was too much smoke and dust in the altar at this time, I couldn't see the appearance of these people for a while. I just knew that these guys were well-equipped and well-trained. After entering the altar, they quickly dispersed, each occupied a favorable terrain, and moved towards the distance. Shoot the nearest rhizome.
In the blink of an eye, countless fire snakes spurted out the moment the firing pin triggered the base of the bullet, smashing dozens of roots with claws and teeth.
Yes, this is the power of modern weapons.
There is a saying in the martial arts world, "No matter how good your skills are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife!"
In fact, this is the truth!
I shook my head hard, trying to drive the pain caused by the explosion out of my head, and at this moment, there was another violent explosion on the left side above the altar dome, followed by "boom boom boom" Three times, a huge gap was blasted out, and a dozen people wearing black foreign military uniforms slipped down from it.
This group of people moved very neatly, and it was obvious that they had received extremely strict training.
A tough woman with army green camouflage stripes on her face slid down in front of me skillfully, took out the Smith F457 from her waist, pointed it at the root wrapped around my body, and fired at once.
Following four gunshots, the roots that were originally wrapped around my body twisted and fled backwards. The woman kicked off the stone wall, moved a few meters away, and hugged me. In her arms.
To be honest, this is the first time in my life that a woman has hugged me so tightly.
I smelled her orchid-like body fragrance, smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello...hello!"
The woman frowned and looked at me, then asked in a strange accent: "Are you Hu Tian?"
