Chapter 81, Poisonous Water Agency(1/2)
Lu Ming was killed, and Duguxue was indifferent and speechless from beginning to end.
Phew!~
Lin Chen withdrew the Scarlet Flame Sword and asked Dugu Xue out of curiosity: "Miss Dugu, I'm sorry for tarnishing your eyes. I'm just very curious, what kind of grudge has this good Lu Ming had with you to make you like this?"
Hate him?"
"Will you die if you don't speak?" Duguxue was ashamed and angry. How could she say this?
"Sorry, I was too talkative." Lin Chen sweated and apologized again: "By the way, I was indeed unjust before, but I still won't regret doing this. After all, everyone has a bottom line of tolerance!"
"I don't blame you. This is my fault in the first place. Even if you kill me now, I will never complain at all!" Duguxue replied coldly.
"Don't just shout and kill. I'm not a murderer. What's more, I usually don't kill women unless they really deserve death." Lin Chen said.
"Haha!" Duguxue sneered.
"Where's Situ Feng?" Lin Chen asked.
"They got separated." Duguxue said calmly.
"Then I should really feel lucky. If that guy was here, my life would probably be hanging in the balance." Lin Chen breathed out softly.
"Do you think we can still get out alive?" Duguxue rolled her eyes.
"That's undecided!" Lin Chen smiled, and showed a rough map in his hand, saying: "Look at this map, it depicts the formation of the entire maze in detail.
After research, I found that the movement of the maze has certain rules. You see, I have marked these special key points. If we are lucky enough to get there, we will be able to break through the level."
Lin Chen analyzed each sentence word by word, but Duguxue's eyes were mainly on Lin Chen's face, his eyes widening wider and wider with a look of surprise.
"What? Are there flowers on my face?" Lin Chen was stunned.
"Did you kill Senior Brother Ma Feng?" Duguxue suddenly asked.
"Uh..." Lin Chen was embarrassed. In the moment of interest, he actually forgot about Ma Feng, so he smiled: "Hey, are you kidding? I picked up this map."
"I didn't say anything about the map, and when I asked you just now, you were obviously hesitant." Dugu Xue stared coldly at Lin Chen.
"Okay, I did kill the person." The lie was exposed, and Lin Chen had nothing to hide, and said: "But you should know that Ma Feng targeted me several times and wanted to kill me at every turn. Even when I met him
Before, he was the one who wanted to deal with me first, so I can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"
"Yes." Duguxue nodded slightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
"There is no grievance or enmity, why is it against me?"
"What happened before doesn't count?"
"That's just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Chen was dripping with cold sweat. The look in Dugu Xue's eyes was so powerful that he didn't dare to look at her directly, so he changed the subject and said, "Miss Dugu, I think this maze will have a moving interval. If you believe me
If you do, I guarantee that you can escape safely. If you and I had any misunderstandings in the past, how about we just wipe it off?"
"Let's talk after we escape." Duguxue looked indifferent.
"Let's wait for the next wave of maze movement. I hope there won't be any more accidents in this dead end." Lin Chen said. When he and Ma Feng were trapped in the dead end, they were harassed by hidden arrows.
Suddenly!
Bang! Bang!~
The tunnel was shaken again, and vertical cracks pushed and cracked.
"Moved!" Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised and said with a smile: "If we can open a key node marked on my map this time, then we will have hope."
"Yeah!" Duguxue was also looking forward to it. She didn't want to die in this ancient tomb.
However!
The tunnel shook a lot, but no new entrance was found, and then it stopped moving.
"Uh? Why don't you move? It doesn't make sense?" Lin Chen was stunned.
Just finished!
Bang! Bang!~
The sound was like the sound of breaking glass. There were a few sounds at first, and then the sound of breaking all over. Then, like a spider web, vertical cracks spread out from the surrounding rock wall.
"What's going on?" Lin Chen suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Organization array!" Duguxue's charming face changed in shock.
"Damn! My mouth is so unlucky!" Lin Chen yelled, something really happened.
Suddenly!
From the torn longitudinal cracks, like a gurgling stream, streams of jet-black water overflowed.
"water?"
Lin Chen and Duguxue stared with big eyes, and suddenly realized a serious problem in their minds. If this dead end was filled with water, they would be drowned alive.
Gurgling!~
The sound of rushing water soon spread to the feet, and as soon as the black water touched the skin, there was a numbing sensation as if it had seeped into the pores.
"This water is poisonous!" Lin Chen's expression changed drastically.
"I should have known so." Duguxue was open-minded. She should have known that the maze mechanism was not that simple.
"That's too cruel! They not only want to drown us, they also want to poison us! If I find the tomb designer, he will be dug up and quartered even if he dies!" Lin Chen cursed.
"Haha, what do you think now?" Duguxue sneered.
"I think this poisonous water is not fatal, but it can paralyze our bodies. Let's take the poison-avoiding pill first and seal the acupuncture points all over our body. If we can survive until the next wave of maze movement, there will be hope." Lin Chen
Tao, because from Lin Chen's thinking about this moving maze, after a trap appears in every dead end, there must be a door.
"kindness!"
Duguxue nodded slightly, thinking that it would be too embarrassing to be drowned, so he immediately took out a poison-avoiding pill and drank it. Lin Chen naturally had a few poison-avoiding pills on hand, and he swallowed them immediately.
The detoxification effect of this poison-avoiding pill is average, and it has a certain alleviation effect on severe poisons. If the toxicity is not strong, the detoxification effect is absolutely no problem. Therefore, after taking the poison-avoiding pill, the paralysis effect after being soaked in poisonous water is
Disappeared.
Wow!~
The poisonous water flowed faster and faster, and soon it reached the waist depth of Lin Chen and the others, and the tunnel was only two people high. According to this rhythm, it would not take long for the poisonous water to fill the entire cave.
After a while, the poisonous water had reached his neck.
"Can you swim?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.
"I..." Duguxue's face turned red.
"Okay, I understand, would you mind?"
"mind!"
"······"
Lin Chen felt speechless and sighed: "Well, I actually promised to let you get through the barrier safely, so naturally I won't let anything happen to you. If the water level rises again later, I will help you with it, so that you can hold on for a while longer.
meeting!"
"What about you?" Duguxue asked in shock.
"I have good water skills! I can dive for a few hours, no problem!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"You know how to brag!" Duguxue rolled her eyes, feeling a little moved.
Sure enough, the water level quickly rose.
"Step on me! Get up!" Lin Chen directly pulled Duguxue up and supported Duguxue's soles with both hands, but the poisonous water swallowed up Lin Chen, revealing only a pair of hands as solid as pillars.
"Lin Chen?" Duguxue asked, but received no response.
However, the water level continued to rise, and Duguxue did not feel comfortable for long. The water level soon reached her waist again.
rise!
rise!
continuously rising!
The water level reached to the neck, and Dugu Xue looked panicked, but her hands at her feet were still firmly supporting her. She didn't know what Lin Chen's situation was, but she became worried.
finally!
The water level finally reached the top, and Duguxue was so frightened that she had to raise her head and take a few more breaths. Unfortunately, the poisonous water rose too quickly. Before she could take a few breaths, Duguxue immediately held her breath and fell into the poisonous water.
Soon!
Duguxue's figure slipped and fell back to the bottom of the water. After all, the entire cave was occupied by poisonous water, so it was meaningless.
However!
When Dugu Xue fell in front of Lin Chen, a handsome and quiet face seemed to be in a deep sleep, hazy in the poisonous water, motionless. Dugu Xue was worried and reached out to touch Lin Chen.
