Chapter 175 Luring the Cat into the Urn
Chapter 175 Lure the “cat” into the urn
Xiao Ran wanted to draw his sword and fight, but suddenly more than a dozen lynxes with different hair sizes pounced at the same time. After thinking about it in his mind, he turned around and ran out of Xiangtang.
Xu Er in the courtyard was still looking around when he saw Xiao Ran running out from behind the screen wall. He turned around and ran away before he could even see clearly what was chasing him behind.
"quick……"
Xiao Ran, who originally wanted to remind Xu Er to run quickly, saw that Xu Er reacted so quickly and didn't know whether to be happy or sad, so he had to run with Xu Er.
The lynx movements were very uncoordinated at first, bumping into each other or against the wall from time to time, and sometimes even falling over on their own feet. But as they kept getting up and continuing to chase, their movements gradually became more coordinated.
Xiao Ran didn't run a few steps and passed by Xu Er, shouting: "This is a wild cat?! You just call this thing a wild cat?!"
Xu Er gasped: "No...it's not a wild cat, it's a wild cat...a wild cat is a wild cat..."
Xiao Ran sped up and ran forward, and soon left Xu Er behind. Xu Er shouted with a cry: "Xiao Ran Gang! Slow down!"
Xiao Ran shouted without looking back: "Run away!"
As he ran, he looked at the broken walls on both sides. He found a place with a suitable height and thickness, and quickly walked around behind the wall. When Xu Er ran past the earth wall, he raised his foot and kicked it on the earth wall.
The broken wall that had been corroded for a long time suddenly fell down, hitting the two lynxes running in front, and buried them tightly under the adobe bricks. The few behind them couldn't brake in time, and fell over one after another, struggling on the ground.
Xiao Ran took the opportunity to jump out from behind the wall and shouted at Xu Er's back: "Run to the temple!"
He looked back and saw that the fallen lynx stood up unsteadily, shook their heads, and started running towards him again.
Xu Er said Yazi and ran forward, Xiao Ran followed closely behind. After the two bypassed a broken wall, they saw Liu Shengli sitting in front of the big flat stone from a distance, waving to them.
"Run to the temple! Temple!" Xu Er thought of an idea and waved to greet him quickly.
As the lynxes jumped out from behind Xiao Ran, Liu Shengli's smiling face froze. He did not run away immediately, but opened his backpack and pulled in all the cans of white wine and bread on the temporary dining table.
Good zipper and run towards the temple.
After such a toss, the distance between the three of them was no more than three meters.
Xiao Ran shouted from behind the two of them: "Go to the tunnel! Get down quickly!"
Liu Shengli and Xu Er quickly ran to the secret passage, regardless of the darkness inside, and ran down the stairs. Xiao Ran thought of the skeleton lying on the stairs, and quickly shouted to them: "Don't step on that..."
Before he finished shouting, he heard the two people in front of him squealing, accompanied by the sound of flesh rolling on the ground, and even the cry of the pheasant.
Xiao Ran ran to the entrance of the secret passage and looked down with a flashlight. He vaguely saw Liu Shengli and Xu Er stacked together in a cross shape. They were covering their heads on the ground and shouting "Ouch, ouch". The one who was tied by a rope
The pheasant was flapping up and down, looking for an opportunity to peck the two of them hard.
Seeing that the two of them just fell down the stairs, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but the two lynxes behind him had already bypassed the clay statue, looked around, found Xiao Ran's figure, and roared hoarsely at him.
, and followed him again.
Xiao Ran hurriedly ran down the stairs. When he approached the remains, he was heartbroken and stepped on the steps where the corpse fell.
As expected, the steps sank under his step, followed by a series of "click-click-click" sounds from the mechanism moving forward from the steps to the animal's face on the wall at the end.
Xiao Ran followed the sound of the mechanism and ran to the wall. When the sound was coming from the beast's face, he quickly pulled the other two people to roll to the side.
The three men and one chicken immediately rolled down two steps of the stone staircase next to them, and then a stream of green liquid mixed with a sour smell spurted out from the beast's mouth on the wall, hitting the three lynxes running in front of them.
A burning smell spread in the secret passage, accompanied by a "squeaking" burning sound and the lynx screaming unwillingly.
Xiao Ran and the others endured the pain and turned their heads to look. They saw the three lynxes being burned and dissolved by the green liquid sprayed from the wall. Their fur, bones and flesh fell off piece by piece, and the white smoke turned into black carbon, and then disappeared.
not see.
Seeing that their companions in front of them were burned to death, several other lynxes stopped at the front of the secret passage, but they had no intention of leaving and just watched quietly.
Xiao Ran saw the tops of the three lynxes that had been burned and dissolved, and several smaller, full-bodied monster insects emerged. One of them was sprayed by the green liquid and burned into coke, while the other two struggled to fly to the ground.
At the entrance of the secret passage, but when exposed to the sun, it screamed and fell to the ground, and soon turned into green pus.
Xiao Ran suddenly understood in his heart that this kind of strange bug was really afraid of the sun.
He suddenly heard a slight sizzling sound next to him, and at the same time, a burnt smell rose with white smoke. He lowered his head and found that a corner of Liu Shengli's clothes was splashed with green liquid. He quickly slashed with the knife and cut off the
Cut off the corners of clothes.
The cut pieces of cloth were like ignited pieces of paper, burning up in an instant.
Liu Shengli didn't have time to be scared, and fell into a state of lingering fear. He patted his chest and asked: "Manager, what is this green water? Is it so powerful?"
In the past few months, Xiao Ran had heard Hu Bayi talk about some anti-theft mechanisms in tombs. After thinking about it, he said: "It should be Persian green vitriol oil. As long as you get a little bit of it, it can spread over a large area and melt people and animals to death. From then on.
After the Tang Dynasty, these were also some large tombs
A common anti-theft method. When I saw that only the bones were burned on the stairs, I guessed that there was some mechanism in the mouth of the ghost face on the wall. I was originally worried that you two stepped on the mechanism and folded it here. It seems that I
What a waste of worry..."
As he was talking, Xu Er pointed at the grimace and said, "Xiao Gang, it... seems to have stopped..."
Xiao Ran looked up and saw that the green vitriol oil from the beast's mouth was no longer spraying out, but only a few drops of residual fluid flowed from the corners of its mouth. The lynxes above were eager to rush down again.
"Go down the middle of the stairs, don't touch the edges, hurry up!" Xiao Ran urged.
Liu Shengli and Xu Er quickly climbed up and ran down the stairs. Xiao Ran followed closely behind them. Hearing the stiff roar behind him getting closer and closer, he knew that the lynxes were following them again, and he kept urging them anxiously.
His urging caused confusion among the two people in front of him. Xu Er, who was originally in the middle, thought Liu Shengli was running slowly and ran past him in a panic. Before Xiao Ran had time to dissuade him, he heard Xu Er say "Ouch" and move forward.
Roll away, and a familiar "click" sound sounded again.
Xiao Ran panicked for a while and shouted to Liu Shengli: "Hold your head tight!"
Liu Shengli was unusually cooperative with Xiao Ran's orders. He squatted down with his head in his arms without even thinking about it. Xiao Ran pushed Liu Shengli hard, and he also bent over and hugged his knees to lie sideways. The two of them rolled down the stone steps like two watermelons, and landed on the ground before Xu Er.
.
The few lynxes that were following them were stabbed to the core by the protruding steel thorns of the mechanism before they reached halfway. There were two lynxes that were not stabbed in the vital parts. As the steel thorns on the top rose to
While in the air, he fell onto the stone steps and broke his spine. He lay on the ground struggling continuously.
Xiao Ran turned on the flashlight and saw that the heads of these lynxes were constantly squirming, and the strange insects broke out of their skins one by one. He turned to Xu Er and said: "Copy the guy! Beat him like a fool!"
Xu Er picked up the slingshot, picked up some gravel on the ground, and ejected them one by one according to Xiao Ran's flashlight. In just a few seconds, all the insects and lynxes were dead on the stone steps.
Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the parts of his body that were in close contact with the steps. These life-threatening mechanisms finally came in handy.
At this moment, a series of rapid winds suddenly blew towards the back of his head.
