Hidden God

Chapter 290: The mantis stalks the oriole

Views:

When Doudouzi turned his head with a green face, my voice also came up from under the sinkhole: "What's going on up there? Ye Xun, Ye Xun..."

Hei Lao laughed and said: "When that kid is about to die, the first thing that comes to mind is the kid pulling the rope, right? He has entrusted his life to you, but he didn't expect that you wouldn't even be able to part with a pair of arms."

"Shut up!" Ye Xun said in a deep voice, "My arm is right here. If you have the ability, come and chop it off."

"Ye Xun, are you crazy?" Douduzizi's eyes turned red, but Ye Xun didn't seem to hear what he was saying: "Come and get my arm!"

Hei Lao sneered and said, "As you wish, go over and hold the rope for him."

When Suixin pursed her lips and walked towards Ye Xun, Hei Lao also smiled sinisterly and said: "That boy in white, listen carefully. When Suixin touches the rope, my poisonous scorpion will sting you on the shoulder. At that time, you can kill tens of millions of people." Don't let go, if you let go, the kid leading the way will die."

"If you touch the rope twice with your hands, the poisonous scorpion will sting you twice. You must hold on. If your hand shakes... Haha..."

"Baby in white, don't worry, my scorpion stings won't kill you. The most I can do is make your two arms slowly rot until they are so rotten that they fall off your arms."

"That kid from Yaowang Valley, you'd better not move. Your hands are not as fast as my scorpion. You'd better not make me angry, you know?" As Hei Lao shouted coldly, Doudouzi also gritted his teeth and let go. The medicinal powder is ready to be ejected.

Hei Lao said proudly: "As you wish, have you not eaten? It's only a few steps, how long do you want to walk?"

Suixin walked up to Ye Xun and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Ye Xun's face was expressionless: "Take the rope!"

Suixin stretched out his hand towards the rope, and the scorpion lying on Ye Xun also raised its tail needle in response to the sound of Hei Lao's flute.

The palm of the hand gradually moved slowly, and the poisonous scorpion's whole body tensed up.

The sound of Hei Lao's flute suddenly became louder. The moment the sharp sound of the flute pierced through the clouds like a ghost's cry, Da Er, who had been blocked by Ye Xun's feet, hooked his claws on Ye Xun's trousers, jumped into the air like lightning, bit the poisonous scorpion's tail hook, and held it in his mouth. The poisonous scorpions struggling for life rolled into the grass together.

Boss Hei was horrified when gunshots burst out from across the sinkhole. The bullet that drew a red light in the air passed between Ye Xun's legs, went straight through Hei Lao's left knee, and flew out with blood from the opponent's leg.

Hei Lao was caught off guard and screamed and fell to the ground. The bamboo flute in his hand fell out of his hand and flew several meters. While the opponent was howling miserably, he used his hands and feet to crawl out a few steps to grab the bamboo flute. Ye Xun appeared in front of Hei Lao like a ghost, and swung the knife down without saying a word. The knife with bloody eyes Light flashed past the opponent's wrist.

Hei Lao, who was lying on the ground, stared at his wrist for a few seconds before screaming and raising his bare arm. Maybe she was still a little lucky just now, but it wasn't until she saw her wrist spurting blood that she realized how ruthless Ye Xun was against his enemies. It's a pity that it's too late.

Ye Xun raised the knife and walked towards Big Er with an expressionless face: "Doudu stop her bleeding, don't let anyone die."

Douduzi rushed to Hei Lao's side without any instructions and applied handfuls of golden sore medicine to Hei Lao's wounds.

Hei Lao screamed: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it! How could you plot against me?"

Douduzi chuckled and said: "We Han people have been playing the trick of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind it for thousands of years, and we have already become bad at it. What we are studying now is how to play the trick of the mantis catching the oriole behind."

"You've been staying with us, haven't you?" Douduzi said with a smile, "Didn't you see that Wang Huan was always knocking on the lighter when he was talking? Let me tell you, he is not knocking out things for nothing, that is called rubbing. Scandinavian code. Did you know that all special forces can use it? We don’t train for nothing.”

Douduzi pointed to the opposite side of the sinkhole: "Did you see who hit you? It was the engineer platoon leader. Wang Huan deliberately arranged for two people to be opposite, one with a gun and the other with a gun at his feet. You will definitely choose to control The sniper poisoned the platoon leader who commanded Wang Huan. He even thought about how you would deal with him. If you don't die, who will die?"

Hei Lao screamed: "You used the antidote on him in advance? How did you know what poison I would inject?"

Douduzi spread his hands and said, "I don't know! I don't need to know what kind of poison you poisoned. It's enough to ensure that the poison in his body can be suppressed in a short period of time. You don't dare to poison people to death anyway."

Although Jianghu people are arrogant and domineering, they will never kill official people unless absolutely necessary. Hei Lao dared to poison people into unconsciousness, but he did not dare to kill those officers and soldiers directly. If something happens to them, Mr. Hei will be wanted soon. She doesn't have the courage. Therefore, using ordinary antidote is enough to suppress Hei Lao's poison in a short time.

Ordinary antidotes are effective against any poison, but the effect is definitely not great. This is like a special medicine for influenza and a common cold medicine. Common cold medicine can also relieve the symptoms of influenza, but it is definitely not as effective as a special medicine. But what we want is not to get rid of the poison immediately, but to give the engineer platoon leader a chance to get up and shoot.

After Douduzi stopped Hei Lao's bleeding with a smile, he casually slapped her right leg off with his palm, and then he was busy detoxifying the other officers and soldiers.

At this time, I also secured my position under the command of the engineer platoon leader and quickly retreated. As soon as my feet touched the ground, the engineer platoon leader pressed the detonator switch. After a loud sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the collapsed rocks instantly blocked the water outlet, and the water flowing into the sinkhole began to gather at the bottom of the sinkhole at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The python swimming in the water began to become restless, rushing out of the water from time to time, clinging to the rock wall and scurrying around. It seemed that it was planning to give up guarding the ghost coffin and desperately wanted to escape from the sinkhole.

I crossed my shoulders and looked at the black python and said, "Why is the centipede grass not moving?"

"Do you really think that thing has a brain?" Doudouzi explained, "Centipede grass is not a plant that has become a spirit. It is good if it can hunt prey by instinct. How do you expect a plant to think about problems and save itself in danger?"

"Understood." I waved to the engineer platoon leader, "Let's start the next step!"

Not long after the platoon leader sent the signal, two transport helicopters roared in one after the other and dropped bags of quicklime from the air into the sinkhole. In just a moment, the entire tiankeng was like a cauldron filled with boiling water, with bubbling water and white smoke rising everywhere. The few of us standing outside the sinkhole also felt waves of heat hitting our faces, not to mention the black python at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Suixin, who was standing next to us, said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of destroying the statue of Medicine King under the ghost coffin if you boil the sinkhole?"

I shook my head and said: "Since the person who buried the Yaowang Statue was able to hide it in the center of the waterway, it means that the Yaowang Statue is not afraid of water. Moreover, his original intention in designing the treasure hiding place was to allow later people to boil the sinkhole with lime. .”

Suixin said in surprise: "How do you know?"

I pointed to the distance and said: "There is actually a natural limestone mine on the way we came here. If we have enough manpower, we don't need to mobilize troops at all. We can just burn the quicklime ourselves."

I paused and said, "If my guess is correct, there should actually be a gate design somewhere down from the water outlet, but we don't have the time or manpower to find the gate."

I looked at Douduzi and said, "Douduzi, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Douduzi looked at me and then said, "Is there anything we can't say between us?"

I said as tactfully as possible: "Your master asked you to practice alchemy back then, maybe it was for the Medicine King statue here."

Douduzi's expression changed slightly and he said, "How do you say this? If you have anything to say, just say it. You don't have to hide it. I can bear it."

I said bluntly: "I don't know how to make alchemy, but I have heard that Danshi are good at refining ores, such as refining cinnabar, quartz, mercury and other things. Burning quicklime with limestone is also a compulsory skill for Danshi. Homework, right?”

Dou Donzi's face suddenly turned pale as paper: "You, you, you..."

My words are equivalent to telling Douduzi that he is just a victim of Yaowang Valley's plan.

In a sense, Eastern alchemy and Western alchemy can be called the pioneers of modern chemistry. Alchemists can completely use the theory of alchemy to complete certain chemical processes.

Back then, Medicine King Valley also wanted to open the ninth Medicine King Statue, and alchemy was an important part of opening the Medicine King Statue. Moreover, opening the Medicine King Statue did not only require the burning of quicklime. Dou Luzi was the person they selected to learn alchemy.

However, he later changed his mind for unknown reasons. In order to keep it secret, Yao Wanggu simply expelled Douduzi from his school without his knowledge.

Just when I was about to comfort Doudu, a loud noise suddenly came from under the sinkhole - the black python, which couldn't stand the boiling water, was like a dragon emerging from the water, screaming and flying into the air. The body of the snake, which had been boiled white by boiling water, was fluttering wildly in the air. The snake scales hanging with water droplets were falling like flying snow, and the snake's head, with its white flesh exposed, suddenly rested on the edge of the sinkhole.

"Shoot!" I was the first to pull out the magnum, pointed it at the snake's head and pulled the trigger. The engineers nearby also opened fire one after another. More than a dozen fire snakes immediately concentrated on the snake head, covering the huge snake head under the fire net in the blink of an eye.

Blood-stained snake scales splashed in the air, and the black python, suppressed by the gunfire, became ferocious. It pressed against the edge of the sinkhole and arched its body, opening its snake kiss in an attempt to devour anyone.

"Get started with the thunder!" At this point, I didn't care about the consequences anymore, I just wanted to beat the black python into the water quickly.

"I'll do it!" After Ye Xun pushed me aside, he picked up the gun and fired an arrow into the black python's mouth. After a crossbow arrow with a copper pipe was shot into the python's mouth, the copper pipe on the arrow made two beeps and exploded.

The moment violent flames spurted out from the mouth of the snake the size of a bucket, the snake's head, which had been twisting ferociously just now, suddenly flew out with blood and flesh. I was covered in snake blood before I could dodge.

When I put down the arm that was covering my face and looked towards the edge of the sinkhole, I heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water from the bottom of the sinkhole. I frowned and said, "Ye Xun, listen, are there any snakes squirming down there?"
