As the old saying goes, those who drown are those who know how to swim.
Due to excessive blood loss from being shot in the leg, Zhang Zhuxun gradually lost strength after sending Pan Zi into the pool, and finally sank to the bottom of the water.
The alkali gas completely enveloped the entire area here. Before losing his last consciousness, Zhang Zhuxun had already seen the water surface boiling.
Are you going to die?
I am really going to die here this time...
The words became a prophecy, the Zhangjia Ancient Building was really his destination.
——
Zhang Zhuxun woke up from the soreness, numbness, swelling and pain all over his body.
The brain's reaction was very slow, with bouts of dizziness, as if someone had punched me secretly, and the cerebral cortex was swelling and painful like congestion.
What happened at that time? It seemed to be an explosion, the fire was soaring into the sky, the gravel was rolling, the air waves were roaring into the sky, and the rustling bells seemed to have turned into the Ksitigarbha murmured before death.
The entire stone road was blown down, and all the flowing water in the mountain behind Longkou gushed out, submerging the entire bell formation.
In a daze, Zhang Zhuxun felt that he had been floating in the water for a long time. The backlash caused by the unexpected change of fate made him numb and suffocated in pain, and then he completely lost consciousness.
His eyelids were so heavy that he didn't know where he was now, but he knew that he was not dead. He was breathing and had a heartbeat.
Someone saved him, was it the person who destroyed the Longkou Mechanism, or was it Wu Xie and the others?
His consciousness was gradually recovering, and he could feel that there was a very cold stone lying underneath him. He could not move his hands and feet at all, and he did not know whether the leg he was shot in was damaged or not.
However, he felt obvious restraints on his wrists and ankles, and he knew the answer. The person who saved him must be the person who destroyed the ancient building's mechanism.
This kid actually tied him up, because he was afraid that he, a dying man, would struggle to the death and be taken away with him or something.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Zhang Zhuxun blinked slowly, and his pupils finally began to shine.
He felt that he seemed to be in a narrow stone mezzanine passage. There was a very weak firelight not far away from him, and a group of black shadows walked around, blocking the light and shadow from time to time.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer. Zhang Zhuxun could feel someone staring at him, but his vision was really blurry, just like the lens was blocked in the early stages of cataract. He tried his best to see with his peripheral vision, but he could only judge what was happening.
It's a man.
After struggling for a long time, he realized that the black shadow was talking to him, and he felt speechless.
Brother, don’t you know that tinnitus can occur after a concussion? His head is buzzing and he can’t hear anything.
Xu Shi saw that Zhang Zhuxun had not responded, and the dark figure realized that he could not hear, so he took a flashlight and shined the light on his face.
Under the stimulation of the light source, Zhang Shuxun's vision recovery speed increased.
He finally saw clearly what kind of beast this was in front of him.
"Why aren't you dead yet?" Zhang Zhuoxun clearly conveyed his meaning with his eyes.
Huo Xiaoli actually understood it, oh no, his name should be Wang Xiaoli now.
This guy is really the most troublesome member of the Wang family that Zhang Zhuxun has encountered since he came here.
Zhang Zhuxun broke into the ancient Zhang family building a year ago, and was brought to this world by the system when he was about to die.
The ultimate task given to him by the system is to kill "it".
After experiencing countless mysterious and strange adventures with Iron Triangle, he finally attracted "it"'s attention despite his hard work.
The ancient building of the Zhang family was the duel place he chose for himself. It was not a duel with a creature in the real reality, but a duel with the "it" that only existed in illusory consciousness and could not be embodied.
Familiar place, unfamiliar way of death.
The cause of death last time was Milotuo, but this time it was replaced by a thermal weapon, a bullet.
Sure enough, no matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. No matter how powerful the Zhang family is, they cannot dodge bullets without defense.
The most important thing is that in order to save Pan Zi who was stuck in the jade vein and his life was hanging by a thread, he shut down his own system, which also meant that he could only recover like an ordinary person and could not quickly recover from his injuries. p>
He is the most miserable host in history, bar none.
But fortunately, the effect was significant. He won this huge gamble on his life.
The Wang Xiaoli in front of me is the Wang family who has been hiding in the Huo family's team, and is also "its" puppet.
Seeing the unceremonious disgust in Zhang Shuxun's eyes, Wang Xiaoli's eyes almost overflowed with triumph. He said with a smile, "I also want to thank you for letting me go, so that I can survive until now."<
/p>
"Bullshit!" Zhang Zhuxun said in his heart after reading his lips, "It was God who let you go. If it were me, the grass on your grave would have been half a meter high."
It was as if Wang Xiaoli had installed a telegraph in his heart and understood what he meant, "Yes, I knew it wasn't you, so I didn't let you die."
"Because I am quite interested in your special Zhang family." He continued, "The leader has said that the living Zhang family is worth more than the dead ones."
"The things in your mind are much more precious than those data."
"But you are too weak now. There is not much Qilin blood left in your body. If you take even one milliliter of it, you will die. The previous plan to open the stone tower can only be shelved." Wang Xiaoli said regretfully.
Very good, Zhang Zhuxun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was confirmed that his life was safe, and the Shahai plan could be advanced.
But for the time being, we have to find a way to escape from the Wang family before we can go to Medog and join Aning.
He handed Wang Xiaoli a dead fish eye. If he couldn't move his body now, he would jump up and break the neck of this little dog.
"To be precise, I am more interested in your blood, as well as the fire-like tattoo that suddenly appeared on your face after hearing the sound of the jade bell, that mysterious state, and..." Wang Xiaoli considered
After a while, he said, "eyes like a beast."
Zhang Zhuoxun scolded him silently with his eyes, "You are more doggy than the other Wang family members who appeared before, Wang Ergou."

"We have to figure out why you have such a change. I have a hunch that this will be a big leap, bringing us one step closer to the day when we grasp the truth." Wang Xiaoli's face showed an almost neurotic joy.
.
Zhang Zhuoxun rolled his eyes and ignored this lunatic.
Wang Xiaoli didn't care whether he was listening carefully or not, and continued his great thoughts, "I can feel that the flame tattoo on your face has something to do with the phoenix tattoo of our Wang family."
"So, do you want to join the Wang family?"
He was seriously inviting Zhang Shuxun, "You Zhang family have guarded that door for so long, but only our Wang family in this world can solve all the mysteries and all the truth."
"Join us, I can feel that you are different from that Zhang Qiling, because you are not a qualified Zhang family member."
"Since the moment you appeared next to Wu Xie, we have been observing you and made countless calculations and judgments. Your ratio has once reached zero. Do you know what this concept is?"
"What?" Zhang Zhuxun's eyes were speechless. As a pure-blooded member of the Zhang family, the Wang family would actually invite him. Has this guy's brain been kicked by a donkey?
Also, what is a ratio? Does the calculation department of the Wang family rely on this so-called ratio to determine whether a person is qualified? It is too short-sighted.
Don’t they know that there is a saying that “people’s hearts are unpredictable”?
"In our Wang family, only the leader has always had a completely zero ratio."
"But you are a Zhang family member, a Zhang family member with relatively pure Qilin blood, but you have achieved a ratio that most people with phoenix tattoos cannot achieve."
"We analyzed it for a long time and finally believed that the reason for this is because there is another kind of blood in your body."
Wang Xiaoli said very firmly, "It belongs to the blood of our Wang family."
But Zhang Zhuxun almost exploded with anger, "This pumpkin pie belongs to your grandma!"
Maybe he was really too angry, and the boiling small universe exploded, and he actually cursed this sentence from his mouth.
He can talk!
Congratulations, I cried with joy.
Wang Xiaoli was not angry at all, and made an understanding expression, "Your ratio in this state must be more than 30%, so only after entering that state, your ratio will
Instantly reduced to zero."
Zhang Zhu calmed down after a while, "Are you trying to find the key to unlocking my ratio of zero?"
His upper body was naked, and Wang Xiaoli had obviously experimented on him. No wonder the bronze fox mask was placed next to him.
"That's right." Wang Xiaoli laughed, "In that state, you are definitely a good partner."
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled coldly, "What a pity, that octagonal bell has long been eaten up by the cuties in the water."
There is a tiny colorless fish creature living in the water of the Pagoda River. Although they only eat meat, it is completely impossible to fish things out of the river.
"It doesn't matter, we have plenty of meteorite jade." Wang Xiaoli was confident and pointed at the bronze fox mask placed next to Zhang Zhuxun's head, "There is always one piece that can unlock your state."
Zhang Zhuoxun sneered coldly, "Do you think Tianzhi is only targeting the Zhang family? Be careful if you take it off, you will die without knowing how."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Wang Xiaoli sighed and cracked the bones of his index finger.
A series of rustling sounds continued to approach Zhang Zhuxun.
During this period of talking, his tinnitus has reduced, and his past experience is enough for him to judge that this is a snake crawling, many, many snakes.
"What do you want to do?"
Thanks to Wang Ergou's nonsense and thanks to the bronze mask, Zhang Zhuxun's strength has recovered a little bit.
He is trying to quietly remove his hand bones and free himself from the rope that binds him.
Hearing his words, Wang Xiaoli grabbed a snake from the ground, a small white snake as thin as a finger, a juvenile form of a black-haired snake.
"Don't worry, these snakes have had their fangs removed. They will only temporarily control your body and make you more obedient, but your mind will still be there." Wang Xiaoli touched the little snake very affectionately.
Zhang Zhuxun could already feel something cold and vermicelli-like crawling onto his skin, and the cold and sticky touch caused goosebumps all over his body.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he stared at Wang Xiaoli and said disdainfully, "Are you Wang family members so cold-blooded? Can't you have a little bit of humanity towards this poor prisoner like me? With this attitude, you still want to persuade me to surrender to you." Delay time, delay a little more time.
"My mother-in-law is so useless and you still want to tie me up! You are truly the most death-phobic Wang family member I have ever seen."
Seeing that a small snake was about to crawl into Zhang Shuxun's mouth, Zhang Shuxun immediately closed his mouth tightly.
Wang Xiaoli cracked his phalanges again, and after a soft click, all the snakes obediently stopped crawling.
"Do you know why after the death of your Zhang family, if you want to keep the whole body, the body must be sealed in molten iron?"
Zhang Zhuoxun blinked and found a few small snakes drooping on his eyelids. He immediately opened his eyes and stopped moving.
When he thought that these ghost things were about to get into his body, nausea suddenly took over.
"If you fart, hurry up." He squeezed out this sentence from the gap between his lips.
"Because you, the Zhang family, can't even live in peace after death. You have lived for too long..." Wang Xiaoli sighed, "You are no longer creatures in the category of humans. You are monsters, old and immortal monsters." p>
Very good, another person who is envious of the longevity of the Zhang family.
"You fart, I'll die from twenty-two."
Zhang Zhuoxun jumped up from the ground, and all the snakes on his body fell off. In Wang Xiaoli's frightened and disbelieving eyes, he pounced on him and knocked him over with an elbow.
Wang Xiaoli reacted quickly. The moment he was beaten, he used the force to roll back. After falling to the ground, he immediately turned over and stood up. After retreating a distance of three meters, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, touched the swollen side of his face, and went to
There was a mouthful of blood on the ground, with a tooth mixed in it.
He stared at Zhang Zhuxun fiercely, and then his teeth made a clicking sound.
Swish, swish, swish, a louder sound of crawling snakes sounded in this space.
Black-haired snakes are all black-haired snakes. The row of black hairs from their heads to their backs make a sound similar to the friction of brushes when crawling.
Zhang Shuxun's breathing was rapid, and his heartbeat was so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat. The blow just now used up almost all his strength.
The sequelae of massive blood loss rushed over him. The bandaged wound on his left leg that had been shot split open again, and the blood supply to his brain was insufficient. He desperately bit the tip of his tongue and stimulated his consciousness with pain.
He knew that once he fainted, he would be completely doomed.
Zhang Zhuxun held on, his body motionless, confronting a group of snakes and the snake-controlling Wang Xiaoli.
Although the green and black unicorn tattoo on his chest has emerged, it is very shallow because his body temperature is still losing, and the internal energy that can be mobilized in the body is very limited, very little.
Thanks to the Wang family for always deifying the Zhang family, although Wang Xiaoli knew that he was at the end of his strength, Wang Xiaoli was also afraid that he still had some hidden killing moves.
But Zhang Zhuxun knew very well that he could not last long in his current state.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
At the critical moment, a piercing sound cut through the darkness, and with silver light, it flew gorgeously towards Wang Xiaoli's head.
Half of Wang Xiaoli's head was shattered, and the brain matter splashed out onto Zhang Zhuxun's face. His physical weakness made it impossible for him to hide, so he had to turn his head to look in the direction of the bullet. p>
A short and thin black figure squeezed in from the gap in the stone path. The person covered the lower half of his face and held a long shotgun in his hand.
Zhang Zhuoxun recognized him, his slumped shoulders.
Thanks to the boss [who was the most naive when he was young] for the reward, I appreciate it~
