Lao Duoji gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, with the big black dog Erlang walking back and forth beside him.
I looked at the "Mahado" not far ahead who was still devouring dead bodies, and said in a deep voice: "We are now prohibited from entering the temple. Mr. Dorje, what should we do now?"
Lao Duoji raised his finger and pointed at the side of the ancient temple and said, "Where to enter! If I remember correctly, there is a small door there!"
I looked at Old Dorje and asked, "Are you...are you sure?"
Old Dorje nodded and said, "I'm sure! Hurry! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
"Okay!" I responded, picked up Lao Duoji and ran towards where he pointed.
At this time, "Mahado" had already devoured all the mercenaries, and its already very bloated figure now seemed even larger.
The difference from before is that "Mahado" at this time is no longer just a simple ball monster. I don't know when, this guy actually grew a "head", but this "head" has no eyes and The nose, only a big mouth was where it should have been.
After "Mahado" swallowed all the seven or eight mercenaries into his belly, he was still not satisfied. The dark red branches and buds all over his body were constantly trembling, as if they were one tentacle after another, searching for something in the entire space. Living thing.
Soon, "Mahado" locked the position of Lao Duoji and me, and all the branches and buds on his body pointed at Lao Duoji and me in an instant.
"Not good!" I screamed in my heart: "This guy found us."
Immediately, I stepped on my feet and ran towards the small door pointed by Lao Duoji as if risking my life.
But it happened that the house leaked and it rained all night. When he was less than five or six meters away, Lao Duoji suddenly stumbled and fell forward.
I lowered my head to look and found that it was the branches from the "Mahado" that were entangled in Lao Duoji's calf.
"Damn it!" I cursed, turned around and ran back.
Lao Duoji was not far from me, so I rushed in front of him in a few steps, and cut off the branch bud that was entangled with Lao Duoji with a backhand knife.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the two-finger-wide branch broke off.
I grabbed Lao Duoji from the ground and shouted, "Go!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lao Duoji's reply, he resisted him and ran forward, shouting as he ran: "Erlang! Follow me!"
The big black dog Erlang seemed to understand what I was talking about, and he responded twice, "Woof, woof!"
Fortunately, the so-called small door was not too far away from us. After a few seconds, Lao Duoji and I fell in completely.
In fact, the small door that Lao Duoji mentioned was actually a break in the wall of the ancient temple.
Although this distance didn't seem too far, I almost used all my strength to suck the milk, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in in such an awkward position.
Lao Duoji and I were lying on the ground, gasping for air, as if there was a drum in our chests that kept beating "bang bang bang bang bang".
I was originally worried that "Mahado" would rush in and attack us, so I wanted to try to get up from the ground and hide in a safer area.
However, as soon as I moved a little, I felt every joint in my body rattle, and waves of heartbreaking pain shot straight into my head, causing me to lower my raised arm involuntarily.
But strangely enough, the "Mahado" seemed to be very afraid of the ancient temple. It just circled back and forth outside the temple wall, but never dared to take even half a step into the thunder pool.
Seeing the situation in front of me, I couldn't help but feel relieved. I tilted my head and looked at Lao Duoji aside, gritted my teeth and asked, "Are you...are you okay?"
Lao Duoji forced a smile from the corner of his mouth and said: "No...it's okay! Still...he can't die yet!"
"Haha..." Seeing Lao Duoji smiling, I couldn't help but smile, and said, "For a moment just now, I really thought the two of us were going to see the Lord of Hell."
Lao Duoji smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the Lord of Hell doesn't want to accept us two lonely ghosts."
Seeing that Lao Duoji was fine, the big black dog Erlang came to Lao Duoji and licked Lao Duoji's face with his tongue. Lao Duoji did not move and allowed Erlang's tongue to lick his cheek.
I also lay on the ground and didn't want to move. After a while, I slowly said: "I said Mr. Duoji... what should we do now? Where to go?"
Lao Duoji pushed away the big black dog Erlang who was still licking him, reluctantly sat up and said, "Go inside! That thing doesn't dare to chase after him!"
I have always been curious about this question. The "Mahado" is like an ant on a hot pot, but even so, it never dares to put even a finger in.
Now that Lao Duoji mentioned this matter, I asked without hesitation: "Why doesn't it dare to come in? What if it does come in?"
Lao Duoji said calmly: "As the saying goes, one thing will bring down another thing! The things in this temple are what it fears most. Let alone come in, it won't even dare to get involved!"
Old Dorje couldn't help but sigh when he said this, and then he stood up holding on to the wall beside him. After calming down for a while, he looked at me and said, "What? Aren't you a young man not as tough as an old man like me?"
When Lao Duoji said this, I couldn't help but smile twice, and didn't say anything. Instead, I gritted my teeth and endured the pain in my body, and stood up from the ground.
I glanced at Lao Duoji and said, "Which way?"
Lao Duoji said: "Erlang will lead us."
I asked: "Where to go?"
Lao Duoji said: "You will know when we get there!"
I said, "But what should Xiong Ming and the others do? Why don't we go find them?"
Lao Duoji said: "We can't take care of them at this time. We have more important things to do here!"
When I heard what Lao Duoji said, I couldn't help but be stunned and asked hurriedly: "What's more important? What's the matter?"
Lao Duoji looked back at me and did not answer my question. Instead, he asked: "You are also a descendant of the Pirates family. You are the young master of Yiyuanzhai. How come you haven't inherited anything from your father?"
I looked at Old Dorje and asked, "Old Dorje, what do you mean by this?"
Lao Duoji sighed and said, "Have you never thought about why those people came here suddenly and then insisted on entering this temple to see it?"
I suddenly felt enlightened after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "Could it be... that they want to take something from here?"
Lao Duoji nodded and said: "That's right!"
I hurriedly asked: "Then what are they going to take away?"
Lao Duoji said: "Instead of asking endless questions here, it is better to go in and see for yourself!"
After saying that, Lao Duoji stopped talking and whispered to the big black dog Erlang, "Erlang, lead the way!"
After hearing Lao Duoji's words, the big black dog Erlang barked twice in a low voice, and then walked forward with small steps.
The big black dog Erlang may have known that Lao Duoji and I were injured, or he was worried that there was an ambush in the temple, so he stopped and walked, not too fast.
The place we are in at this time should be a relatively remote corridor in the ancient temple. It is not very wide and is only enough for two people to walk side by side.
For safety reasons, I walked at the end, Lao Duoji was in the middle, and Erlang, the big black dog, was always leading the way.
In this way, after walking for more than ten minutes without any danger, the big black dog Erlang suddenly stopped at a corner.
The big black dog Erlang seemed to be very nervous. His head was pressed very low, his nose was sniffing here and there, and his two front paws were walking back and forth on the ground as if he was uncontrollable, and he uttered "Woo" from time to time. A low growl.
Lao Duoji was naturally familiar with the abnormal reaction of the big black dog Erlang. He squatted down and held Erlang in his arms, whispering comfort in his mouth.
