Hearing Minister An's words, no one showed any particular surprise. Those of us have become somewhat accustomed to and even numb to the weird and strange things that appear and are told by others all the time.
Minister An added: "It's not even two o'clock yet, let's take a rest on the spot and eat something to replenish our strength."
So, everyone sat down on the ground silently, took out the food from their backpacks, and slowly started eating.
I ate a few mouthfuls of compressed biscuits that were hard to swallow, nibbled on a few pieces of hard beef jerky, and then stared blankly at those huge golden sand dunes and the two mysterious black peaks.
Suddenly, I thought of Pang Xiaotai. Where would Pang Xiaotai be now, who was kidnapped by those mummies? Is he alive or dead? I stood up and walked to Instructor Shui. Instructor Shui saw me coming and looked at me with bright eyes.
Asked: "Yunlong, is something wrong?"
I sat down next to her depressedly and said, "Instructor Shui, I always feel that Xiaotai is still alive. But..."
Instructor Shui felt a little sad for a moment. She gently reached out and patted my shoulder, and then said: "Yunlong, you and I and all our comrades hope that Xiaotai is still alive, but..."
Speaking of this, she sighed quietly, and then said: "Wait a moment, we can go down to the temple, and everyone will do our best to search. No matter whether Xiaotai is alive or dead, I hope we can still see him, and
He takes it away."
I nodded heavily and said secretly in my heart: Xiaotai, I must find you.
The two o'clock bell suddenly rang, indicating that there was still one hour left and if the mummies left the temple, we would start taking action.
At this moment, a strange noise suddenly sounded, and everyone stood up alertly. The noise came from the "Temple of Time" under our feet, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to us. Minister An suddenly looked confused
He changed his mind and said, "No! Those mummies seem to have noticed us! Everyone, hurry up and guard the exit of the spiral passage we came up from."
Everyone couldn't help being frightened, and quickly rushed to the exit above the temple, holding weapons in each hand and staring nervously at the dark exit. At this time, the weapons in our hands were all replaced by military daggers or foldable weapons.
Work shovel, and of course my God-killing Miao Dao, Jiao Yiming’s magical black stick and instructor Fei Fanshui’s ancient blade. Because the bullets of all the hot weapons have been used up long ago, guns are very important to us at this time.
It's all turned into scrap metal.
Just as everyone gathered at the exit, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from below. Fei Fan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Damn it, these ghosts are coming!"
A black round head suddenly emerged from below. Everyone hurriedly raised their weapons to smash and chop down. I don't know whose weapon shovel hit the thing first, and then they heard a sound that was definitely made by a human being.
A scream sounded out, and then the guy who screamed seemed to immediately roll down the steps below, and let out a series of shouts: "Help...Help..."
We all looked at each other, could it be that the person who was hit just now was a human? If it was a human, who could it be? The little clerk suddenly shouted: "Oh my god! Could it be... is it Xiaotai?"
Was he the one we smashed down?"
All the people suddenly groaned secretly. It was really Pang Xiaotai and the others who had committed a big crime. When I raised my head, I happened to look at Jiao Yiming. We both pushed aside the crowd without hesitation. I was in front and he was behind.
Finally, he jumped into the passage.
As soon as we reached the passage, the howls of countless mummies reached our ears. Along with the sounds of fighting in the temple below, Jiao Yiming and I quickly ran down the spiral staircase.
When I reached the middle of the spiral staircase, I raised my flashlight and looked down, and saw a heart-stopping scene. A familiar tall and burly figure and two figures in black were leaning against the stone pillar in the middle of the spiral staircase, waving something in their hands.
While resisting the attack of the mummies, the man in black in the middle was actually holding something like a flaming torch. It seemed that the mummies were afraid of the torch. They just surrounded the three people and avoided it.
From time to time, the torch reached out to catch Pang Xiaotai and another man in black on both sides.
The screams of countless mummies rang out, and the entire Temple of Time was crowded with layers of one-eyed mummies into a hell-like scene. Seeing this scene, Jiao Yiming and I ran a few steps and stood at the bottom of the spiral staircase. The three of us
From above my head, I shouted loudly: "Xiaotai, Brother Jiao and I are here to save you!"
Pang Xiaotai didn't dare to look back and let out a cry-like whisper. Under the roar of countless mummies, I didn't understand what he said, but I was sure that he heard my voice and must have been very excited.
Jiao Yiming and I said: "Brother Jiao, we can't go down, otherwise we will be trapped. Let's find a way to get them up and escape to the top. These ghosts are afraid of the sun. As long as we wait until dawn and the sun comes out, they will be able to escape."
We can escape danger."
Jiao Yiming said "Yes" and asked me: "Then how do we get them up?"
I hesitated for a moment, feeling confused. To be honest, I didn’t know how to save them. Suddenly, I remembered the round piece hidden in my arms that the old man in the Sun Realm who claimed to be the Sun God gave me.
Jade, it was the round jade that suddenly made a strange noise in the corridor of the Temple of Time and saved me and everyone else.
I quickly put my hand into my arms and took out the round jade, but the round jade in my hand did not make a sound like last time, nor did it emit a magical brilliance like when I was besieged by the "Birdman" in the Sun Realm.
, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
At this time, Jiao Yiming looked at me and said, "What exactly is this piece of jade of yours?"
In panic, I quickly covered it up: "My jade is a family heirloom..." Just as I said this, a shrill scream suddenly penetrated my mind. I shivered suddenly, and the round jade in my hand slipped.
He took out his hand and fell into the group of corpses under the spiral staircase.
Just when I reacted and lowered my head to look down, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from the corpse group and spread out instantly. The entire spiral staircase stone pillar was filled with red light. Suddenly, the mummy group was in chaos and fell into chaos.
The mummies in the red light suddenly emitted green smoke, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Jiao Yiming and I, as well as the three people below who were leaning on the stone pillar, probably two people, one of them had fallen to the ground, apparently injured by the one-eyed mummy. The five of us stared dumbfoundedly at the sudden change.
In the empty area covered by red light, the small round jade was lying on the ground, its entire body emitting a strange red light.
Jiao Yiming shook his head, stared at the round jade on the ground, and murmured: "This thing is simply amazing!"
I smiled silly "hehe", jumped to the ground, bent down and picked up the round jade that had turned red and was still glowing red. I turned around and said to Pang Xiaotai, who was still a little dull, "Xiaotai, hurry up."
Pang Xiaotai was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, agreed, turned around, took Jiao Yiming's extended hand, and stepped onto the spiral staircase.
Only then did I see the man in black looking down at the other man in black who was lying on the ground, shaking his head, and then he also climbed onto the stone pillar and climbed up the spiral ladder. The moment he climbed up the spiral ladder,
I felt that this person seemed familiar, and I even felt a little uneasy in my heart. However, the howling sounds of countless one-eyed mummies not far behind me made me dare not neglect it. I turned around and glanced at the red eyes of those who were afraid of the round jade.
Guang's one-eyed mummy also quickly climbed up the spiral staircase.
As soon as I got up the spiral staircase, for some reason, the round jade in my hand immediately extinguished the red light, and I suddenly heard the roar of the one-eyed mummy behind me. The four of us quickly climbed up, and behind us,
Those one-eyed mummies also chased me furiously, and I could feel their speed was astonishingly fast.
I kept urging the three of them in front to hurry up, hurry up, and hurry up. Fortunately, the spiral staircase was not long, and we quickly saw the exit above. At this time, I heard Jiao Yiming shouting upwards.
A voice: "We are back."
I knew that Jiao Yiming was talking to the boss to avoid being hit by accident again. The four of us rushed out of the exit, and I panted and said to Minister An and the others who were guarding above: "The one-eyed mummy is chasing us.
Okay, everyone, be careful!"
Just before I finished speaking, a black head appeared out of the exit like a ghost, with a single blue eye shining strangely in the moonlight. I don't know who hit the head with a "bang" with a military shovel.
, but the mummy’s head just shook, and it didn’t seem to feel anything. Fortunately, in the flash of lightning, the torch in the hand of the man in black who came out in front of me hit the one-eyed mummy’s head, and there was a strange sound.
After calling, the terrifying blue light suddenly disappeared from the exit.
The man in black leaned down and placed the torch in his hand at the center of the exit. The howls of the one-eyed mummies below the exit could be heard endlessly. However, they should be extremely afraid of the torches, so they just kept roaring below, but
Never dare to reach up again.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fei Yifan asked Pang Xiaotai impatiently in a shrill voice: "Brat, weren't you f**king kidnapped by those ghosts? How did you escape?"
Pang Xiaotai gasped and said angrily: "Old boy, are you fucking hoping that I won't come back?"
Fei Fan scolded: "What the hell! I don't know how worried I am about you. Of course... everyone is worried about you. I just want to know how you escaped."
When Pang Xiaotai opened his mouth to say something, the man in black who was leaning at the exit said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense! The torch is about to burn out, and everyone will be finished together by then!"
After hearing what this man said, Minister An pointed at the man in black and exclaimed: "Smith! It's you!"
