"This...isn't it? It's a dead end," Li Xin asked in disbelief.
Jiao Ba sneered, "It can't be a dead end. This secret passage is so hidden, how could it be a dead end? The door should be behind the ice wall,"
At this time, Mr. Mai walked through the crowd, walked to the front, took a look and said, "Well, the gate is almost behind here. Break the ice wall and see who has a shotgun in his hand."
A few of us looked at each other, and then all shook our heads. Even if we had guns, there were no bullets left. The few remaining bullets were used to deal with those terrible spiders. We were almost out of ammunition. .
"Why, there's none," Mr. Mai was actually a little surprised, and his face looked ugly.
"Don't look, there's no one there. If it weren't for those damn spiders, there might be some bullets left," Chang Shan said helplessly.
"This is going to be troublesome. The ice is so thick. If we didn't have a shotgun, it would have taken us at least an hour," Mr. Mai said with a frown, holding on to the ice wall.
"Don't we still have grenades? They can explode," Martin said as he was about to get a grenade. He should have one left.
Mai Lao stopped him and said, "No, this is the cabin. How can we get in if it collapses? Do it yourself."
There was no way, there was no ammunition, and the grenades couldn't be used, so we had to do it ourselves. A few of us old men started to use knives to get down bit by bit. The ice was really too thick, and it took a long time to get it down. a small part.
But what is gratifying is that through the strong light, we can already see the door at the back. It is still a hatch, but the color of the door is red, the kind of blood red, which looks very eye-catching. It's also very evil, with a gloomy aura, like the gate to hell.
I suddenly felt a little nervous. I felt that there might be some terrible creature hidden behind this door, or that we had fallen into each other's trap. I fell from it unintentionally, and now I actually found a secret passage here. , but then I thought about it and thought it was not the case. After all, this secret passage is inside the coffin, and there is a big spider guarding it. If Jiao Ba hadn't determined that there was a way here, the rest of us would never have thought of it.
At this time, I suddenly realized a problem. The sudden escape of the ghost Gu man was probably related to these big spiders, or to where we are going now. The eighth floor of the wizard's coffin is here. Behind the gate.
"Damn it, this job is too tiring. Tomb robbing is not that troublesome," Jiao Ba cursed and threw away the knife in his hand.
I walked over and helped him pick up the knife and said, "It's useless for you to complain here. Open the door earlier so that we can know what's inside earlier."
Jiao Ba turned to look at me and said, "This ice is too thick. It took us a long time to get it down just this little bit. My hands are so tired that they are weak."
"Okay, stop complaining. None of us are tired. Are you the only one who is?" Mai Lao said while working, without even looking back, because he had no time to look back.
"Go on, stop inking," I said, handing him the knife.
Jiao Ba reluctantly took the knife, stabbed it into the ice wall and cursed, "Damn, these damn wizards, if I find their bodies, I will cut them into thousands of pieces." ....
We didn’t have a hammer in our hands, so we could only use the strength of our palms to chip away at it. The thickness of the ice was about the same as that of a city wall, and it was extremely strong. I thought that as long as I broke a hole, a large piece would fall off. But who knew it was impossible, it just had to be cut bit by bit, not to mention the effort, but it would take a long time. It would be great if the big man was here, his physique like a laborer would definitely save a lot of time.
I don’t know how much time passed, but it felt like it must have been at least an hour before we cleared away all the ice around here. We did it in one go, without even taking a break in the middle. If we had taken another break, , we couldn’t finish it at all. We were so tired that we all sat on our backpacks to rest, even Mai Lao was no exception. This kind of work was too troublesome, and we were almost experts at cutting ice.
Except for the two girls and Martin who didn't take action this time, everyone else was mobilized. Even Lao Shui and Xiao Feng took action. I don't know why, but they were so motivated, as if they had smoked opium. They were different from just now. When he was dug out of the coffin, he looked completely different.
Martin has been taking care of Jenny. Jenny's condition is a little better than before. Although her face is still pale, she seems to be more energetic. Martin is giving her medicine and water and food. From the perspective of outsiders, He takes great care of me and is a completely competent boyfriend.
But in my eyes, he seemed to be trying to be attentive again. It was very fake, so fake, it was no different from a servant serving his master. Maybe it was my jealousy caused by the uneasiness in my heart, but I knew very well in my heart that I It seems that I no longer have that infatuation with Jenny. To me now, she is just a companion, or in other words, just a partner.
"Hey, what are you looking at? I'm in a daze." Li Xin waved his hand in front of my eyes several times, and I realized what he was doing.
I came back to my senses and said, "It's okay, I'm resting." I must have been staring directly at them again just now. This habit is not good and I have to change it.
"Come on, your eyes are in a daze, staring at Jenny and Martin," Li Xin pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"Who are you looking at? I'm just tired and I want to rest," I said casually. I didn't want to stare at them, it was just a habit.
"You don't have to admit it, I've seen it. Are you very jealous of Martin?" Li Xin spoke in a weak voice, a little out of breath.
I patted the back of her hand and said, "It's nothing, don't ask blind questions. If you're not in good health, just say less."
Li Xin didn't refute me, she just smiled slightly, but her smile was somewhat bitter. I didn't know what she was thinking, let alone what she meant to me. I really wanted to tell her what I had done before. Experience, but my rationality reminds me that I must never say it. Maybe if I say it, we won't even be friends. It's better to hide this matter in my heart.
"Damn it, I finally dug it open. This job is really tiring and suitable for a big man and a steamed bun to do together," Jiao Ba said with his mouth curled up and his eyes rolled.
"What do you mean?" Chang Shan turned to look at him and asked.
"What else can you mean? The steamed buns and the big guy are big and they look like hard workers," I said, patting Chang Shan on the shoulder.
"Haha...yes, that's what I mean," Jiao Ba said with a smile. As soon as I said this, the others also laughed. The originally tense and depressed emotions seemed to be swept away by my words. Even Mai Everyone pursed their lips and snickered.
"The big guy is coming, and I have to scold my mother again, but don't say it yet, I really miss them both, and I don't know how they are doing now," Chang Shan said with some worry as he put away his smile.
"Yes, there are Shunzi and Shaoyu. I don't know if they are awake or not." It has been a while. No one knows whether the four of them are good or bad. Currently, we are the most embarrassed. Yes, there are a lot of wounded, and there are also two main players missing. If the big man and Steamed Bun were here, we would have cut through this ice wall earlier. Now this road is getting more and more difficult. I am even more worried. Feeling tired.
"Don't worry, Brother Yi, there will be nothing wrong with Big Man and Steamed Bun. They haven't boarded the boat and are all outside. The power of the magic circle shouldn't affect them. Mr. Mai, it's time for us to take action. ," Jiao Ba said and stood up.
"Okay, get ready to open the door," Mr. Mai stood up and grabbed the handle of the big red door with one hand. This door is different from an ordinary hatch, more like the gate of a house.
Mr. Mai then made a gesture to ask us to step back. He wanted to open the door alone. We all took a few steps back, but he tried several times and failed to open the door.
"The door can't be opened. It seems to be locked inside," Mai Lao said, and slammed it a few times, but it still didn't work. The door only shook slightly and couldn't be opened at all.
"Why don't we break the door together? I don't believe how strong this wooden door is," Lao Shui looked at me and asked.
"No matter what you bump into, save your energy and I'll do it."
As Jiao Ba spoke, he pulled out the knife. He walked to the door. He first stretched out his hand and tried to push the door, then inserted the knife directly into the middle of the two doors, and then slowly moved the knife upward. Lift up, when he reached the middle of the door, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled, a very evil smile, and then he pushed the door up hard, and heard a "click" sound, as if there was something inside. It might have been the door lock that he picked open.
"Okay, you can open the door now, stand on both sides,"
Mai Lao waved his hand, and except for me and him, everyone else hid on both sides of the red door. Jiao Ba held the door with both hands and pushed hard. Under his strength, the door creaked. It opened, and the moment the door opened, a strong wind blew out from the door.
"Get away," Jiao Ba yelled and dodged to the side.
Mai Lao and I reacted quickly enough. We quickly dodged to the left and right, and the cold wind blew right between us. When the remaining cold wind blew on me, I felt that the cold-proof clothes were instantly worn out. It was beaten through, and the cold wind could travel along the skin to the bone marrow, and the cold was unbearable.
And this dark wind didn't last long, only ten seconds at most, and it soon returned to calm. We gathered again at the gate. It was pitch black inside, and we couldn't see anything. It felt like Like an abyss,
