I slowly shook my head: "Tiger, you are wrong. Miss Gu is the real commander of the team. Without her strong reinforcements, we would not even have a chance to enter the hole." Today, Su Lun invited Fei as a supporter.
Almost all of Ying's team was wiped out, and only Feiyue was lucky enough to survive. Gu Qingcheng's joining really made me grateful, no matter what her true purpose was.
Amidst all the twists and turns, Gu Qingcheng and I were the only ones in the team who didn't lose their composure. I could feel that when she looked at me quietly, her eyes were filled with the calmness of knowing everything.
The red kid gave up the idea of cutting the black stone wall and immediately returned to Uncle Wei's car. After experiencing the horrific incident just now, he became much more honest and curled up quietly on his seat without saying a word.
The car entered the passage designated by Tiger, moved forward at medium speed in third gear, and soon approached a familiar pass.
"Go further inside, and the stone wall will automatically glow and illuminate everything." He seemed confident, but Kaku and Red Little Ghost's nerves were highly tense again, fearing that the nightmare would happen again.
"Mr. Tiger, what's over there at the pass? Is it also an endless array of snakes?" Little Red Ghost asked fearfully.
The tiger touched the beard and laughed: "Snake? No, no, not a single one. It's just a flat road, and then it leads to the third five-pointed star array."
The red kid lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and shouted smartly: "Oh, I understand, I understand. The reason why all the snakes were concentrated in the cave just now was probably because they obeyed someone's order. This person said
After the order was given, the snakes gathered together obediently, and of course there would be no snakes anywhere else."
This explanation received no response from anyone. The little red ghost laughed a few times and fell silent again.
The car crossed the pass and indeed entered a passage with glowing walls. The shape was basically the same as the snake cave we just faced, but it was clean and empty without a single snake.
Gu Qingcheng immediately ordered: "The car is moving forward at full speed, and all team members must remain in fighting condition at all times."
Her face was not pretty, she was pale and gloomy, her mouth was pursed tightly, and there was no smile in her eyes.
In this case, no one had any better opinions to contribute, so the driver could only let the driver step on the accelerator and control the speed at about 80 kilometers per hour.
When entering the third five-pointed star array, you choose the second channel on the left; when you enter the fourth array, you choose the first channel on the right; when you enter the fifth array, you choose again.
The second passage on the right front.
As I moved forward smoothly, I felt that the terrain was getting lower and lower. Compared with the starting point at the tunnel entrance, I had dropped at least ten floors in height. But without an altitude meter, I couldn't make a more accurate judgment.
Turn from the core of the fifth formation to the first passage on the left. If nothing goes wrong, you will reach the narrow rock gap that Tiger mentioned in ten minutes.
"Just in front, you can only walk through the stone gap. You can finish it in about three hours and see the round stone house on the opposite side of the cliff." Tiger's mood also became excited, because he, like me,
I am thinking of a girl I cherish very much.
Although we can't see the skylight here, the white light emitted from the cave wall is getting brighter and brighter, making our environment look like it is on a cloudy day. We don't feel depressed. The air circulation is also relatively smooth, and everyone
There was no feeling of hypoxia.
The last pass appeared in sight, and even the driver couldn't help but excitedly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed straight to the uphill platform.
As if a tank of cold water was poured down from the air, the driver stepped on the brakes with all his strength, and the car suddenly stopped with a "clunk", causing the two cars behind him to make an emergency stop one after another, and the sharp friction sound of the wheels gripping the road could not be heard.
In front of it is a slope that slopes downward at nearly 45 degrees. The slope is about 30 meters long, and then there is a stone gap two meters wide.
"That's it, Feng. I once followed it carefully and passed there, but now -" Tiger covered his mouth with one hand, trying to control his emotions.
The height of the stone gap is at least twenty meters, and the stone walls on both sides are bare and glowing with white light. However, the stone gap is not empty, but is blocked by entangled green snakes, forming a wall of flesh and blood.
The strange wall is about the height of three people stacked on top of each other. If you want to pass through the stone gaps, you have to step on their slippery bodies.
The driver's face had turned from pale to pale green. He opened the door timidly, got out of the car and backed away slowly, his whole body trembling from his teeth to the crook of his legs.
I had to forgive him for being a deserter at this time. After all, not everyone can face such a huge group of snakes calmly. We followed the tiger’s guidance and reached the top of the last five-pointed star formation, but we didn’t expect that
encountered such a cruel ending.
"This road is not open." The red kid spat out four desperate words from between his teeth.
The poisonous snakes are entangled in the stone gaps, as if separated by an invisible boundary. From a distance, they look like an extremely avant-garde Spanish-style sculpture, but they are all alive, spitting out bright red cores from time to time and making "hissing" sounds.
"His" strange cry.
The tiger tugged his hair hard and screamed desperately: "I swear, I swear I couldn't even see a snake here. At that time, I walked side by side with Xiao Xin, and didn't encounter any creatures within a few hours, until
Beside the cliff. Wind, believe me, these words are true, absolutely true, absolutely true..."
I believe in Tiger, but not necessarily Uncle Wei, Gu Qingcheng, Hong Xiaogui, and Kaku. They only believe in facts, regardless of what Tiger has done before.
This road was definitely blocked. After a few minutes of observation, I decisively waved my hand and ordered the convoy to retreat off the platform and temporarily form a battle formation with the head outside and the tail inside, to be on guard against venomous snakes rushing out to attack.
"Fire attack, explosives, machine gun fire?" Uncle Wei was seeking Gu Qingcheng's opinion. Even if he traveled across the lake, the possibility of encountering such a thing seemed slim.
Gu Qingcheng did not answer, and Tiger rushed to join him: "I'm afraid not. This rock gap is long, has many corners, and has many branches and cracks. I'm afraid it won't be possible to eradicate it. Moreover, the explosives will cause the stone walls on both sides to collapse and block the way.
Wouldn’t it be even more troublesome?”
He kept pulling his hair, and the dandruff was flying like light snow.
"According to you, what should I do?" Uncle Wei's words were a bit lacking in confidence.
Tiger's answer was more straightforward: "I don't know, but I only know that none of your methods will work."
Gu Qingcheng, who had been deep in thought, suddenly raised his head and gestured to Uncle Wei with a smile: "Uncle Wei, there is no need to argue. Now, you take two cars to explore the remaining three passages to see what is inside. Note.
Stay safe, don’t move forward blindly and quickly, put safety as the first factor in everything, go ahead.”
These words were spoken very softly, but judging from the expressions on the faces of all the team members, there was a trace of panic. Several of them raised their heads and looked around at the pale stone walls, and couldn't help but have dull smiles on their lips.
"Okay." Uncle Wei waved his hand and ordered the team members to get in the car without any hesitation, and drove towards the adjacent passage one by one.
"Uncle Wei has always obeyed my advice, but this time, I'm afraid it won't end easily." As soon as Uncle Wei and their car left, the smile on Gu Qingcheng's face disappeared.
"There must be...there must be some weird poisonous insects in those caves. Wind, if you are careful, you will not be wrong. And everything she told comes from the "Blue Falling Yellow Spring Sutra", and it is absolutely true.
." Tiger's performance is getting worse and worse, and he is completely different from the stoic and calm person he used to be.
Maybe, this is the price of falling in love. He can be humble and cautious for Tang Xin, but of course he is destined to be controlled by Tang Xin's every frown and smile for the rest of his life. To be fair, Tang Xin is indeed an elegant, intelligent, and unconventional person.
Pure girls are rare in the world. But the poisonous insects she carries are rare to see in the ages. Therefore, my evaluation of her happens to be that the advantages and disadvantages cancel each other out, neither reward nor punishment.
"So, what do you mean, our expedition to rescue people will stop here?" Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly, pacing in front of the jeep, frowning thoughtfully.
Tiger nodded, shook his head, and suddenly sighed: "Feng, it's up to you to decide everything. I have no other good ideas."
In the face of the unpredictable nature, all his experience in the world has been reduced to nothing, and his confidence has been completely shattered.
"Mr. Tiger, what do you think is in the other passage? Is it also a snake cave?" The little red ghost jumped out and interrupted without losing the opportunity, and then laughed disapprovingly, "Haha, if there are poisonous snakes on all the wrong routes,
The people who created this layout are too uncreative, right?”
"What's there, you won't go see it yourself?" Tiger was a little annoyed. He could show weakness in front of me and Gu Qingcheng, but he was unwilling to be ridiculed by a rude child.
"It's you who came to see the one you love, not me, why should I go see him?" the red kid retorted, refusing to give in. As a boy, his extreme personality is not very kind. I'm afraid he is just pampered by his family.
the result of.
"Yes, I really should go take a look, excuse me!" Tiger jumped on the jeep, roughly started the engine, and instantly pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and the car roared and followed Uncle Wei and the others.
The little red devil rolled his eyes, whistled frivolously, and laughed at himself: "Don't blame me, he is willing to explore the road, it has nothing to do with me."
I didn't want to blame him. In this case, there was an urgent question to be clarified - "What kind of mutation process did those snakes go through to grow wings and change their habit of swallowing food and spitting out bones?"
Anyone with common biological knowledge understands that the fangs of snakes can only inject venom into the target, but cannot be used to chew food. Every time they eat, it is a cumbersome cycle of swallowing, digesting, and spitting out bones.
, relying on the strong corrosive liquid in the stomach to achieve the purpose of grabbing food to satisfy the hunger.
"Perhaps, we can catch a snake and study it to see what changes happen to its body, right, Miss Gu?"
What I said had a deeper meaning, because when we were at the camp, the snake that broke into the tent came very strangely, and I suspected that Uncle Wei had deliberately brought it to irritate me.
Gu Qingcheng smiled again and flicked his nails: "Mr. Feng, there is no need to beat around the bush. I admit that the snake was Uncle Wei's provoking method. It was just an ordinary mountain snake disguised as a snake. Of course, there would be no such thing in the camp.
Someone was bitten to death. Now, without giving orders, Uncle Wei will catch a snake and come back for experiments. His experience and experience are richer than others."
She is very wise and can take the overall situation into consideration instead of getting hung up on small issues. She calmed down all my dissatisfaction with just a few words.
The red kid chuckled and said, "Catching snakes? I'm afraid you're not strong enough, right? Didn't you see that those guys seem to have some kind of spirituality? After biting people into skeletons, they actually want to fuse with the skeletons."
." When he mentioned the terrifying scene in the snake cave, his face turned pale again involuntarily.
I understand that no amount of armchair debate will help. If we can't get rid of the poisonous snakes blocking our way, we can only retreat backwards. There is no need to stay here any longer.
Gu Qingcheng suddenly sighed: "Mr. Feng, what did you think of?"
I only said five words: "Blue Blood Luminous Toad."
Her beautiful big eyes blinked, and her long, thick, black eyelashes also flashed, and the dimples on her cheeks were deeply sunken: "Very good, we want to go together again. If we want to clear the way, we must have the green blood and night light."
No toad."
The people of the Five Poison Sect have been raising poisonous insects and refining poisons to kill people for generations. Their ability to extract venom from animals is comparable to that of the Tang Sect in Sichuan. The Blue-Blooded Luminous Toad is a sacred object in the sect, and is even more popular in the world.
There is no doubt that it is the first elixir to restrain snakes. Therefore, the only feasible plan is to return to the ancient village and find He Jishang to borrow a luminous toad to drive away the poisonous snakes.
The red kid puffed up his cheeks and wanted to interrupt again. I pressed his shoulders in time to signal him not to speak.
"No one is sure to borrow the Luminous Toad, Miss Gu, we all know this. Last time, we stayed in the ancient village. Facts have proved that He Jishang is wary of anyone. That is because she betrayed the Five Poisons
The only thing you can still have after teaching is probably not something you can easily lend to others—" I still hesitated a little.
Thinking about He Jishang's deep love for his eldest brother Yang Tian, I can't bear to hurt her, even if it's anyone in Donggu Village, it will hurt her face. If she is the eldest brother's woman, I have the obligation to protect her from
Bullied by outsiders.
"Do we have any other options?" Gu Qingcheng asked immediately without giving me time to think.
I shook my head: "No."
"Then, is there any point in thinking about it anymore? You know, maybe Miss Su Lun is trapped somewhere behind the stone gap. There is this wall of poisonous snakes between her and us. Mr. Feng, now
It’s not the time to consider whether to do it, but the time to consider when to take action.”
She made a "stop" gesture and raised her voice: "If you have any concerns, I can order Uncle Wei to take action. The explosives, rocket launchers, and long-range sniper weapons carried on the jeep can be easily stepped on."
Pinggu Village. As long as you nod, we will withdraw immediately and start the operation."
The red kid finally couldn't help but interjected: "Well, we are in the deep mountains anyway, no one will care about us even if the fight turns upside down. Besides, the ancient village happens to be on our retreat route, so maybe he will become our enemy at some point."
I touched the top of his head and looked at his expression of joyful expression, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Anyone can kill people and destroy strongholds. Think about it, the Southwest Caravan is the most powerful faction in this mountain forest.
Why can they tolerate Guzhai to survive? It is difficult for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed. This is a truth that everyone understands, which is enough to prove that Guzhai and He Jishang are not easy to mess with."
"If there is no choice, this is the only choice. In fact, I don't want to go on a killing spree, but we have to go to the ladder through this stone gap. You see, so many people have died along the way, and there is no result.
Are you willing to just back down?" Gu Qingcheng's smile gradually faded.
There were only three of us at the scene, and we looked even smaller in the white halo. Looking towards the top of the pass, everything was quiet, and we couldn't hear the "hissing" sound of the snake formation, which made people suspect that what they just saw seemed to be just a scene.
Nightmare.
"I'll go up and take a look, you can think about it again." Gu Qingcheng walked towards the pass, her back looking gloomy and tired, and her combat boots made a monotonous scraping sound on the stone ground.
I like to look at her back, because her waist is as slender as Su Lun, and she also jumps every step, and her elastic long hair always reminds me of the first time I met Su Lun in Villa No. 13.
.
"She is very beautiful, isn't she?" Red Little Ghost sighed sourly.
"right."
Gu Qingcheng stood on the platform on the other side of the pass, with his hands on his waist and his body standing straight. Girls are naturally afraid of snakes and insects, but she is definitely an exception. She can face those extremely ugly and terrifying things calmly.
