Chapter 48: The Secret Road in the Apse
At this time, another "click" sound came from the closed back hall, which seemed to be the sound of some mechanism being activated.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly ran to the back hall.
I rushed a few steps and ran to Instructor Shui at the front and said: "Instructor Shui, give me the God-killing Miao Dao. I will go in first. If I encounter a corpse wolf, I will deal with him."
Instructor Shui nodded and handed me the Miao Dao in his hand.
As soon as I took the God-killing Miao Dao, I immediately felt a very familiar feeling, as if it was my old friend.
An inexplicable power suddenly came from the blade and was injected into my body. My whole body felt like the hero in a martial arts novel suddenly encountered an adventure and gained many years of skill. My whole body was filled with surging energy.
Strength and confidence.
I couldn't help but let out a whistle, the wind blew under my feet, and I reached the gate of the apse in a few steps.
I gently shouldered it, and the closed door opened with a creak. The inside of the door was pitch black, and a strange fragrance floated into our noses as the door opened.
The guys turned on their flashlights and looked inside. The apse was not very big, probably because the Shenxiao Hall in front took up most of the building's space. Our flashlights immediately illuminated the wall opposite the door.
Considering that the corpse wolf might be hiding inside, everyone was very cautious. I held the God-killing Miao Dao in both hands and walked in front. Zhang Li and Xiao Wenshi were shining their flashlights on me, one on the left and the other on the right.
The left and right sides of the apse are relatively long and narrow, and the front and back are very narrow. The walls seem to be covered with paintings in patches. Because of the passage of time, many places are mottled.
Lu Yisong whispered from behind: "Yunlong, go left. Let's ignore the murals on the wall for now. The corpse wolf may be in front."
I responded softly, turned around and walked to the left. As I walked, I saw that the paintings on the walls on both sides continued to extend. It seemed that the entire apse was probably covered with paintings.
The space inside the hall was empty, and no objects were found, not even a piece of wood.
The flashlights of Zhang Li and Xiao Wenshi were bright, allowing me to roughly see the scene about ten meters ahead, but I never saw a corpse wolf or other traces. I was a little puzzled.
But the further the aroma passed into my nose, the stronger it felt, and I suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling in my heart. It seemed that the place we were walking in was not a building, but like...a dark tomb.
place.
I think I walked about two hundred meters when a wall suddenly appeared in front of me, and there was a turning passage on the left and right. The three of us stopped at once.
I turned around and asked: "Mr. Lu, there are two curves ahead, one on the left and one on the right. Which way should we go?"
But when I turned around, I suddenly found that there was no one behind me, Lu Yisong, Instructor Shui... all of them were gone!
My heart sank, and I felt a creepy feeling all over my body. My body felt tense and cold. Where are Mr. Lu and his people? I have obviously been hearing their footsteps. Why can't I find them when I stop and turn around?
Is it their turn?
I turned around and looked at Zhang Li and Xiaowen Wen. They were also pale and looked at me in disbelief.
At this time, a very small wheezing sound suddenly came from the curve on the right. It was a very rough and rapid breathing sound. Suddenly, we smelled the strange fragrance that had always been in the air, and there seemed to be a sudden increase in the sound.
There was a strange smell, a bit fishy and a bit rotten.
The three of us couldn't help but be shocked, because we had smelled this smell when we entered the third level of the "Ghost Gate" of the Seventh Level Earth Dragon Cave. It was the smell of the nameless monster that Jiao Yiming had mentioned.
Later, after meeting Lu Yisong, I learned from his mouth that this kind of monster was called "Blood Corpse Tai Sui".
At this time, the breathing became louder and louder, and we seemed to hear the dull sound of footsteps coming. I quickly pulled Zhang Li and Xiaowen Wen, and whispered: "Turn off the flashlights! Let's quickly enter the corner on the left.
Inside the road."
They both turned off the flashlights, and I shouted: "Let's go!" The three of us quickly turned the corner and walked into the left-hand corner.
After entering, the three of us didn't speak, but quickly walked forward in the dark. I could clearly feel that the passage seemed very narrow and sloped all the way down.
Gradually, the breathing and footsteps of "Blood Corpse Tai Sui" no longer reached my ears. I breathed out softly and whispered: "Zhang Li, little clerk, please turn on the flashlight. It's too dark!"
"
Before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a slight cool breeze blowing towards my head, with a slight chill. I subconsciously turned my head and heard a "swish" sound, as if there was a
Something flew past my ear.
I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat. What was sneaking up on me?
At this time, in the darkness, I heard the little clerk's "Oops", followed by Zhang Li's low exclamation. There was also a "clang" sound of something falling to the ground.
I whispered in shock: "Xiao Wenshu, what's wrong with you?"
Just when I was about to bend down and follow his voice to help him, another gust of cool wind hit me. I hurriedly took a step to the side and shouted: "Zhang Li, turn on the flashlight!"
However, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence, Zhang Li seemed to disappear all of a sudden, no sound was heard from her. The little clerk who fell to the ground also made no sound at this time.
My fear at that time was really indescribable. I could feel my body breaking out in cold sweat and shaking.
At this time, I felt a cool breeze blowing across my face again, and it was not just one, but several gusts of cool breeze hitting me front to back and left to right.
I suddenly remembered that the "Shenyue Bird Cuo" was in my arms, and this artifact could emit very bright light.
I quickly squatted down on the ground, took the knife in my right hand, and touched the "Shen Yue Niao Cuo" in my arms.
A few gusts of cool breeze blew away on the top of my head. At this time, I took out the "Shenyue Bird Cuo" in my arms.
A faint blue and light pink halo suddenly illuminated this long and narrow passage. The entire passage was made of blue-gray stones up, down, left and right, tilting downward at 45°. The walls on both sides of the passage were painted with red and black paint.
It is filled with countless pictures. There are lines of different thicknesses, weird people in various postures, and countless strange birds and beasts...
When the light came on, I first looked around, but strangely, I didn't find the unknown things that attacked me.
I took a deep breath to calm down the fear in my heart. I looked down and saw Zhang Li and Xiaowen Wen lying on the ground, eyes closed tightly, motionless.
So I quickly squatted down and tested Zhang Li and Xiaowen's breathing. They felt very normal, and I felt a lot relieved.
I gently lifted Zhang Li's head first. At this time, I saw a red spot as big as a copper coin on her neck, with a small hole in the middle, and purple blood was flowing out.
I quickly took out a roll of gauze from my backpack, tore off a piece, wrapped it around Zhang Li's bleeding area, and gently squeezed out the blood with my hands.
When the piece of gauze in my hand was soaked with blood, I changed another one and continued. About four or five minutes later, Zhang Li groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes.
When I saw that she was awake, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. I gently lifted her up and leaned into my arms. I said to her gently: "Zhang Li, how do you feel?"
Zhang Li looked up at me, and then suddenly felt that she was leaning on my chest, and her face turned red. She quickly straightened up, left my arms, lowered her head and whispered softly: "I'm fine.
What was it just now? I just felt a cool breeze, and then I felt a pain in my neck, and I lost consciousness."
I shook my head slightly and said, "I don't know what they are. When I took out the 'Shenyue Bird Bug', those things disappeared."
I then said to her: "Zhang Li, you lean against the wall and rest for a while. I'll wake up the little clerk first."
As I spoke, I tore off the gauze again, put the little clerk's head on my lap, and squeezed out the purple blood for him.
After a while, the little clerk woke up slightly, opened his eyes and looked at me, frowned and said, "Yunlong, what attacked us? Have you avenged me?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't see what it was. How do you want me to avenge you?"
The little clerk sat up and looked at me seriously and said, "Why don't those things deal with you? Tell me honestly, did you hold your head and hide just now?"
At this time, I really couldn't laugh or cry. At this time, the little clerk suddenly was in the mood to joke with me.
I glanced at him angrily and said, "Brother, get up quickly and let's keep moving forward. If that 'Blood Corpse Tai Sui' smells your scent and comes after you, we will be in dire straits."
When the little clerk heard this, he quickly got up. At this time, Zhang Li had also stood up.
I put the "Shenyue Bird Cuo" into Zhang Li's hand and said to her: "Zhang Li, take this to illuminate it."
