"Let's go back. No matter how precious the treasure is, it's not as important as your own life. Brother, just because you're lucky this time doesn't mean you'll be so lucky next time." The whole process of rescuing people only lasted three seconds, but it was already over.
After condensing the essence of all my martial arts skills, and slowly returning to the platform, I realized that the clothes on my back were soaked with cold sweat.
Uncle Wei stared at me, his expression was one of shock and admiration, and he suddenly raised his thumb: "Mr. Feng, I really admire you!"
The red kid rolled his eyes and looked at him: "Who wants you to obey? He usually looks like a majestic and high-spirited boss of the world, but at critical moments he knows how to squat aside and watch the excitement."
The noisy snake array regained its calm. With such a huge number, dozens of them died without being able to see that the scale had been reduced. They still firmly blocked the stone gap.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were filled with reproach, but Little Red and I were fine, and she didn't say anything more.
"Miss Gu, we'd better evacuate first. Regarding the matter of the Blue-Blooded Luminous Toad, we can go back to the camp and discuss it slowly." I let out a long breath, feeling a chill on my back and not feeling comfortable.
Compared with the last experience of rescuing Tanino Kamishi from under the Pyramid of Tukaihan, this time there is no protective measures on the whole body, which is even more dangerous. However, Red Little Ghost is the person recommended by Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan is my brother, and Red Little Ghost is naturally
He is also my brother.
Brothers are like brothers. No matter what, I can't just watch my brother die tragically. This is the principle of a person walking in the world, just like the eldest brother has saved the scalpel's life several times in the past.
Gu Qingcheng stared at the snake array melancholy, seemingly not listening to me.
I raised my voice: "Miss Gu——"
A deep call suddenly came from my ears: "Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you here, come on, come on."
It was a man's voice, full of longing and expectation, and full of warm intimacy, like the native accent spoken from the heart when a relative left behind in his hometown calls the wanderer.
"Who is it?" I couldn't help but respond. There is no doubt that the voice came from the other side of the snake formation, extremely far away. Only people with profound internal skills can effortlessly make the voice come out far away, without being affected by other people.
Interference from external factors.
In the distance, only the venomous snakes were wagging their heads and tails, swimming up and down incessantly. The stone gaps were deep and turning, and not a single human figure could be seen.
"It's me, it's me. The person you are thinking about is me. Come to me. This is the answer to all your questions." The voice continued, covering up all the strange movements coming from the snake array.
What I was thinking about was my eldest brother Yang Tian, followed by Su Lun. Could it be that it was my eldest brother who summoned me?
"Listen, listen -" Gu Qingcheng spoke slowly, but his expression was hesitant and his eyes were dull.
"There is the sound of the piano, a very beautiful piano sound, with the voices of orioles and the sound of springs flowing. I have never heard such a wonderful performance. No, I have to go in and see who is playing here." She said.
He took a few steps forward and walked to the edge of the platform.
At the same time, Uncle Wei and Little Red also turned around, staring forward with confused eyes, as if they were trying to listen to something.
I took a big step across and quickly grabbed Gu Qingcheng's wrist, because the situation at this moment seemed a bit strange. I heard the call, but what she heard was the sound of the piano.
"Someone is there, calling me. Mr. Feng, I feel something is wrong, but...but, that voice sounds so warm and kind, I can't control it, save me, save me..." Uncle Wei murmured
Whispering, he staggered off the platform.
In fact, the sound in my ears kept ringing, but after taking three deep breaths in an instant, my breath sank to my Dantian, my mind became clear and empty, and all the troubles caused by the sound were washed away.
That is just an illusion. There is a power behind the snake formation that uses illusions to confuse people's hearts, attracting people to step onto the snake formation and die under the snake's kiss.
I made the clearest judgment and felt Gu Qingcheng's pulse beating more and more erratically. I immediately exerted force with one hand to drag her body down. I turned around and gave an order to the team members under the platform: "Plug your ears and pull them out."
Miss Gu and the others got into the car and retreated."
By the time Gu Qingcheng arrived, the red kid was dragged into the jeep with all hands and feet. Uncle Wei had already walked seven or eight steps off the platform. Everyone was so intimidated by the ferocious momentum of the snake formation that they actually looked at each other and did not dare to chase after him to save others.
The Kaku closest to me shouted in panic: "Mr. Feng, what is he going to do? What is he going to do?"
His ears were blocked with torn strips of cloth, and the voice coming out of his mouth was hoarse and sharp, making my eardrums buzz.
I jumped off the platform and slapped Uncle Wei on the back of his neck and right temple with a quick and light technique. I probably only exerted no more than three kilograms of force, causing his thinking ability to return to normal instantly due to the shock of his blood.
.
"Ah? Why am I here?" He stopped suddenly and raised his hands to cover his nose to resist the fishy smell emanating from the snake array.
I made a gesture, and the two of us slowly retreated to the platform together, finally getting away with it. If I had also been deceived by the illusion and couldn't extricate myself, the four of us would probably have died together.
Kaku is looking through the scope into the depths of the rock gap. I believe he can't see anything, because the hot breath exhaled by the venomous snake will tangle into mist in mid-air, blocking everything in sight.
If you want to explore the world behind the stone gap, the only way is to get the Blue Blood Luminous Toad and disperse the snake array.
"Mr. Feng, I seem to have seen a masked person, the same one who was in the cave last time. He disappeared in a flash." Kaku exclaimed with lingering fear and put the scope back on the sniper rifle. His words
The words, mixed in with the crowd of people retreating, did not cause any reaction at all. Everyone's face showed the joy of surviving the disaster, and they wished they could evacuate the cave entrance within a second.
The speed needle of the jeep has been swinging in the red zone. If it weren't for Uncle Wei's repeated reminders, the drivers would probably step on the accelerator to the bottom and run without slowing down.
My mood became more and more depressed. Although the strange stone pillars in the tunnel were removed, those weird poisonous insects became a bigger worry. Snakes, scorpions, toads, and centipedes are the most poisonous poisons on the earth, and people avoid them. After all,
Who has raised an astonishing number of poisonous insects in these five-pointed star formations? Has someone really opened "Pandora's Box"?
As soon as they exited the tunnel entrance, the team members couldn't help but raise their arms and cheer, as if they were prisoners on death row who had finally been released.
"What a shameful defeat. There is nothing we can do about it. Human power is too insignificant in front of nature." The red kid sneered at himself.
Uncle Wei, Tiger corrected him almost at the same time: "That is not a force of nature at all, but a man-made thing."
These two people are both very knowledgeable people, and their views on issues are surprisingly consistent.
"Manmade?" The little red devil turned his head and looked towards the dark tunnel, "Is it possible? Those smooth floors and mountain walls cannot be cut by manpower at all. Even with the best ax and chisel and the most accurate ruler in the world, it can be cut by manpower.
Can you do it?”
Tiger shook his head: "No, but I have been doubting it since I first entered the tunnel. Of course, people on earth cannot build such weird-shaped caves, but what about aliens? With their power and knowledge, wouldn't it be easy?
Something?"
The red kid looked up and shouted twice, haha, without comment.
Tiger patted his forehead and continued with a wry smile: "Little brother, if it wasn't done by aliens, do you have any other reasons to explain it?"
Attributing all unexplainable phenomena to aliens is a very tricky way to draw conclusions, but in the current situation, conclusions alone are not enough. What we want is to uncover the truth and save people.
The red kid retorted sharply: "I can't explain it, where is your brother? It is said that the "Biluo Huangquan Sutra" contains all the inexplicable things in the world. You came here under the guidance of the sutra, and you also fought against people wearing masks.
.Have you ever seen aliens in caves? Are they three heads and six arms, or are they two wings? Or are they simply super biological weapons similar to the 'alien' in science fiction movies?"
The driver couldn't help but laugh out loud. Probably in his mind, the real world was too far away from the space monsters in Hollywood movies. Those terrifying images that could only appear in computer special effects would never break into reality.
of.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was setting in the west, and would soon be blocked by the mountains. Coming out of the tunnel where the sun was hidden, I smelled the faint fragrance of dead grass in the north wind, saw the blue sky and white clouds, and felt a wave of hair.
The inner comfort arises spontaneously.
No one is born to take risks, most of the time they just do it involuntarily. When the people they care about most are in danger, they can't help but stand by and watch.
"Su Lun, are you really okay?" This is the thing that concerns me the most. Ever since I set off after receiving Li Kang's call for help, this endless concern has been lingering in my heart.
When he heard the name of "Blue Falling Yellow Spring Sutra", Uncle Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't hide his shoulders. People die for money, and birds die for food. As a Jianghu man, he covets treasures and strives hard.
The only motivation. So, I don’t want to blame him for his greed.
The tiger sighed in the wind: "I don't know. I have already said that as long as you are careful, everything can be solved."
Except for the driver, the people sitting in this jeep were all people with extremely sharp minds, who could clearly see Tiger's selfishness. His purpose was just to rescue Tang Xin, so he described Tang Xin as an open-minded person.
The key to all the puzzles, so that everyone's attention will fall on her.
Uncle Wei sneered silently. He was a scheming man and had enough patience to persevere until the answer to the mystery was revealed. He was never impulsive or blindly obedient.
In comparison, the red kid's way of thinking was too direct. He immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, don't worry, we will definitely accompany you to find the great Miss Tang Xin, right, Feng?"
The car quickly approached the camp, and Gu Qingcheng lowered his voice: "Mr. Feng, we need to talk alone, okay?"
Her spirit was a little depressed, but she still put on a forced smile to meet Uncle Wei's inquiring gaze.
Our team only went there for half a day, but we experienced life-and-death dangers. Like the second jeep that disappeared, we almost turned into skeletons in the sea of snakes. Life is impermanent, and everything is impermanent. Only after seeing the familiar smoke behind the camp
, only then suddenly felt the unparalleled intimacy.
Feiyue stood at the entrance of the camp, looking at me suspiciously from a distance. Maybe, she wanted to know all the situation and hoped that I could come to her. Feiying also turned into a vegetative state, and the people who came with her
They all fell, and she was the only one alive.
"Mr. Feng, why don't you go say hello to Fei Yue first? She may be interested in you—" Even when Gu Qingcheng was joking, her frown did not fully unfold, which proved that she was filled with heavy worries.
.
I shook my head: "No, let's talk about business. I also have something to tell you."
The car stopped thirty steps away from the camp. Gu Qingcheng and I jumped out of the car and walked eastward along the grass roots that had just begun to turn green.
In fact, I understand what the team members are thinking at this time. They came here for money, witnessed the death of their companions, and wished they could get paid immediately and evacuate this mountain. Having money but no life to spend is worse than having life but no money.
, including Uncle Wei and Kaku, I’m afraid they all think so.
If we fail to boost everyone's morale, the expedition will end in losing troops and gaining nothing.
"I'm going to get the Blue Blood Luminous Toad. As long as the baby is at He Jishang's place, I'll do whatever it takes to borrow it back. You stay in the camp and stabilize everyone's mood. As the old Chinese saying goes,
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man who will triple everyone's reward and promise to fulfill it as soon as they leave the mountain. I think that no one in this large group of people will have trouble with the money, and there will be no problem in supporting them for another month."
In one month, our exploration operation should come to an end. Regardless of victory or defeat, there must be a complete ending. But I can also imagine that the environment Su Lun is in will not be too good. If we delay it for another month,
What might have been a glimmer of hope for life will be completely extinct.
"When are you leaving?" Gu Qingcheng didn't say a word of nonsense.
"Immediately, um, I'll go back and pack up. I'll set off in an hour and try to reach the ancient village before dark." The sun was behind us, blocked by the mountains again, and the sky dimmed together with Gu Qingcheng's face. There was really nothing left.
There was too much time to allow us to delay. I suddenly felt that the mountain wind after sunset was increasingly mixed with the chill from the north. The cold feeling penetrated from the skin to the bottom of my heart.
"Okay, I will restrain everyone and wait for you to come back." Gu Qingcheng frowned and responded simply, without any emotion.
There were some subtle embarrassments between us. She is a girl, and when she helps a man save other girls, she will always be somewhat reluctant.
Feiyue still looked at us from a distance and did not take the initiative to greet us.
"I will take Feiyue with me. At least she has a relationship with He Jishang and may be able to help." It was still a formulaic language. My heart has already flown to Guzhai. After all, He Jishang is not an easy person.
The character I was dealing with wanted to obtain the Blue Blood Luminous Toad from her hands, but the result was still unknown.
Gu Qingcheng shook her long hair uneasily, and her tired face showed a trace of displeasure: "Mr. Feng, I think Uncle Wei or Kaku will be more helpful to you at this moment. The people of the Five Poison Sect are crazy, why send them?
Changyou was once a saint in the religion. Every inch of her bones was soaked with ferocious toxins, which cannot be measured by ordinary people's mentality. This time, the possibility of saying good things to achieve the goal is not high. If necessary,
If you take action, Feiyue will only be a burden to you."
What she said is right, but I don't want to do anything with He Jishang at all. She has been in love and thinking about her elder brother for so many years, and she has had a hard enough time. I can't attack my own people regardless of distance.
"I have a sense of proportion. Uncle Wei's idea of plundering by force is not realistic. After causing both sides to lose, it will only give the power of a third party to take advantage of the situation. You know, the people of the Southwest Caravan are always coveting this area.
The mountain's control may jump out at any time. Miss Gu, restrain the people in the camp, we can't make any more mistakes."
At critical moments, it is better to follow other people's opinions than to follow your own ideas, because only I know a lot of inside information.
Gu Qingcheng smiled helplessly: "Mr. Feng, it is not your way of doing things to have your own way. Uncle Wei is the uncle, you should listen to his opinions, right?"
I have listened to her night conversation with Uncle Wei. Everyone has different interests and starting points, so they decide their own way to deal with the problem. Now, I just want to rescue Su Lun and find out the secret of the underground palace, or go one step further and find out
That huge crystal pit, I got the news from my eldest brother Yang Tian. At any time, if you can outwit it, you will never use force.
"I've decided, Miss Gu, what did you want to talk to me about just now? Please tell me directly." I looked at my watch, twenty minutes had passed. Time waits for no one, I need to start immediately.
