The two of them talked to each other and felt relieved.
"If you dare to do this again next time, I will really beat you up." Wu Xie stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Zhuxun up from the ground and patted the dust on his back.
There were some mud stains that couldn't be wiped off, so he used his sleeve to wipe them.
"No need." Zhang Zhuoxun stopped him, "If you can't wipe it clean, leave it alone."
Wu Xie's eyebrows almost furrowed when he heard this, and he looked at him sideways, "Brother, where was your previous mysophobia?"
Zhang Zhuoxun heard the hurtful meaning in his words, raised his hand and quickly wiped the mud on his face on his face, and backed away with a smile, "You were eaten by a dog."
"I rely on you, kid!" Wu Xie didn't guard against the sneak attack and tapped him with his hand with a straight face. The next second he couldn't hold back and started laughing.
The fat man in the sleeping bag on the side poked his head out and met Zhang Haike's eyes.
Zhang Haike was sighing after eating melon. When he saw the fat man's sinister look on his face, he asked him silently, "What are you doing?"
The fat man ignored him and glanced at the two people standing in front of the wooden tower, who were living in harmony and smiling happily. He made a shushing gesture, then got back into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes peacefully.
Zhang Haike shook his head knowingly. If we were to look at people's hearts, this fat man with a carefree appearance was obviously very knowledgeable about it. Sure enough, there are talents in the world, and friendship must exist in the world.
Zhang Zhuxun chatted with Wu Xie.
Wu Xie asked: "Where did the baby bone ghost go after it dissipated just now?"
Zhang Zhuo pointed to the nearby group of wooden towers and said, "They are all inside. This is a maze of towers. We destroyed one tower at the beginning and alerted them."
"How did you and Zhang Haike realize that this was a formation in the first place?" Wu Xie was still a little confused.
"Follow me." Zhang Zhuoxun asked him to follow, and the two of them walked up the steps and walked straight through the layers of wooden towers.
Wu Xie followed Zhang Zhuxun around for two or three minutes, so much so that he could no longer remember which direction he came in from.
Gray fog gradually spread around, and the whole place was so gray that the flashlight's shadow could not illuminate even half a meter away.
Zhang Zhuxun simply turned off the light and continued walking forward with him.
After making a huge turn, Wu Xie felt that Zhang Shuxun, who was walking in front of him, was significantly slowing down in lifting his feet.
"Here, look forward." Zhang Zhuxun turned the flashlight back on.
In the gray fog, under the thin white beam of light, a very huge stone tower suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, which was more than three or four times larger than any wooden tower they had seen before.
The surface of the stone pagoda is engraved with the patterns of the Kham tribe, and the floors of the pagoda are filled with various items.
Through the hollow grids, you can see countless chains hanging inside the stone tower. The ends of the chains are all concentrated in the center of the tower, where a human-shaped shadow sits.
Wu Xie thought about getting closer and looking through the gap to see clearly who was sitting inside. He felt that the body did not look like a child's.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xie just took a few steps forward. In a blink of an eye, he looked into the gap again and found that the figure sitting in the stone tower was gone.
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around to look for it. He thought maybe it was because there was a little distance just now, and the visibility illuminated by the light was poor, so the reflected shadow was not in the center of the stone tower.
With this thought in mind, he turned around and said to Zhang Zhuxun, asking Zhang Zhuxun to come closer and shine the flashlight directly inside, and then take a look for himself.
After saying that, he turned back and looked at the gap again. Wu Xie suddenly paused. He began to feel that something was not good. He also made a posture with his feet that he could evacuate at any time.
Because the gap he had just looked at suddenly became pitch black without any warning, as if it was blocked by something from the inside, blocking out the meager light that could only penetrate.
Having descended into so many evil tombs and experienced so many strange things, Wu Xie felt to himself that the shadow of unknown composition in the stone tower suddenly pretended to be a corpse, and then ran over to greet him enthusiastically. It seemed that it was not something that was disturbing.
Something difficult to accept?
Wu Xie sighed, from this point of view, growth is more than just an increase in age. Young people can become old, and old people are disrespectful. After all, it is a matter of experience.
Those who have mature thoughts, stable emotions, are not worried about honor or disgrace, and are not annoyed by worldly affairs, must have had a lot of ups and downs in their lives of varying lengths, but they are just not in line with the world.
The reason is because of what he has experienced.
The moment this sublimated thought came out, as if he didn't want to see Wu Xie, the chains in the stone tower crackled, and a claw with black smoke suddenly popped out from the gap, knocking away the funerary objects on the grid, and flew straight to the ground.
He grabbed Wu Xie by the neck.
"Fuck!" Wu Xie used the big white dog's legs to jam the ugly claws and cursed, "You idiots, they are all locked up in a stone prison and they still don't learn to behave, so they come to bully me, an honest person."
Zhang Zhuxun took a step forward with the sword in hand. As soon as the white blade in his hand was unsheathed, Wu Xie stopped him.
As an experienced veteran, Wu Xie is now extremely confident.
He held the big white dog with one hand and shouted: "Muyu, you stand still and don't move. Today, I have to clean up this thing and let him know clearly who is the king of corpse fraud in the rice dumpling world!"
Zhang Zhuxun stared at the black claw and thought for two seconds, "Okay, come on, let's fight quickly."
The owner of the paw turned a deaf ear to Wu Xie's beeping complaints. He opened up the big white dog stuck on his finger, and his claws were as flexible as a rotating windmill. He opened his teeth and claws and clawed at Wu Xie's face again.
"You want to show off my appearance? You're looking for shit!"
Wu Xie was so angry that he slashed and slashed with the big white dog in his hand. The blade of the knife collided with the sharp iron-like nails, making the sound of iron hammering. There was a series of jingling bells, and black smoke and scales flew everywhere.
The claws belonged to some strange creature. They were covered with fine scales, and the finger bones were thick and long. It seemed that there was a thick web-like film at the roots that held them together, which invisibly facilitated Wu Xie's attack.
offensive.
He made a feint, and slapped it away with his backhand at the moment when his claws grabbed it. His claws hit the stone tower as hard as a laundry mallet, getting stuck in the gap that Wu Xie had aimed at in advance.
Taking advantage of the victory, Wu Xie pursued the attack, slicing the claw's fingers flatly with the blade to cut through the thick webbing, and then moved downwards, cutting off the last three fingers of the claw in one stroke.
The shadow in the stone tower let out a hoarse and sharp roar. Wu Xie kept up his efforts and cut off the other two fingers in the same way.
As a result, the half of the claw that successfully broke free from the gap after losing its fingers looked more like a mallet than it could swing.
Wu Xie put his hands on his hips with a little pride, turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Zhuxun.
Zhang Zhuoxun pursed his lips and said nothing, but raised his hand and pointed behind him.
"What?" Wu Xie was confused, but the next second there was a sound of sound breaking through the air behind his head. He bent forward to avoid it based on his conditioned reflex, purely relying on the dodge memory of the muscles that were beaten by the black blind man.
Turning around and taking a closer look, there was another black claw coming out of the gap.
Wu Xie had a tactical epiphany, yes, this thing should have another claw.
It doesn't matter, just cut it off and it will be fine.
Wu Xie was more experienced this time. He saw the opportunity and cut into the claws, chipping off several of its fingers.
Then he swung the knife twice like hitting a tennis ball, and slapped the two bare mallets back into the stone tower one by one.
