While Dong Xiaowei was silent, I laughed and said: "Dong Xiaowei, with the same resources, you are no match for me. So what if you can take the lead? I will use one-third of your time. With one-third of my brain, I can still beat you."
I am not completely unfamiliar with Dong Xiaowei. People's identities can be changed, but there are always things that cannot be changed.
Dong Xiaowei was really furious and said: "Wang Huan, don't be too proud. The initiative is still in my hands now. Open the bronze door immediately and come out, otherwise, I..."
Dong Xiaowei had just finished speaking when Ye Xun beside me spat out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow" sound. When I quickly turned back to look at him, Ye Xun had already taken out the wine bottle and poured two sips into his mouth: "I'm fine, you can continue!"
I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "Dong Xiaowei, if you want to beat me, just come in and find me yourself! Don't you have a lot of men? It's not a big deal to throw a few into the snake's nest. I I have to remind you that if you want to chase me, you'd better be faster. If you move slowly, I will go out somewhere else."
I reached out and pulled Ye Xun, and quickly ran towards the space behind the bronze door.
Ye Xun lowered his voice and said, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, let's run out first. Dong Xiaowei will sacrifice someone later, so we won't go out." After I ran a certain distance, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I originally thought that after the Gushan with an area of 60,000 square meters was hollowed out by the ancestors, the internal space would be extremely vast. What I didn’t expect was that after I ran only a short distance, I saw the secret cave of Gushan. The center altar. In other words, the main body of the Gushan Secret Grotto is only about 400 square meters at most.
This is wrong!
According to my previous inference, if the lonely mountain is the top of the building, at least it should not have such a small space.
What I am thinking about now is another question: Dong Xiaowei has more than ten people with him. Those people are not Chen Mingyu’s rabble. Once Dong Xiaowei disperses them, where can Ye Xun and I hide?
I stepped onto the altar in a few steps and looked around with the faint light emitted by the fox bell. I discovered that in the eight directions centered on the altar, there were vertical grooves cut out like stone gates. Four of them were In each of the grooves stood a warrior wearing armor and holding a long sword, but the other four were empty.
"Stand there." The only place I can think of to hide now is behind the four warriors.
Not long after Ye Xun and I each hid behind a warrior, we heard the sound of the door opening in the distance. Soon we heard Dong Xiaowei say: "Light the fire... Be careful of Ye Xun's sneak attack..."
After Dong Xiaowei issued a series of orders, the cave soon burst into flames. The entire cave was illuminated as bright as day, and my heart suddenly lifted.
The Gushan Secret Grottoes were the place where sacrifices were made in the ancient Dian Kingdom, and they would definitely be equipped with lighting fire tanks. If the cave had been in darkness, I might still have a chance to deal with them. Now, as long as they pay a little attention, I will have nothing to hide.
While I was holding the handle of the knife tightly, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "There is a secret passage here. Wang Huan and the others may have escaped from there."
Someone said urgently: "Miss, do we want to pursue you?"
"No need for now." Dong Xiaowei denied, "It's better to let Wang Huan and the others go down to explore the way first. Wang Huan has not been in for a long time, so he probably hasn't carefully observed the sacrificial hall. There might be something valuable left here. , everyone look carefully."
Dong Xiaowei's men gradually spread out, and I felt secretly anxious again. It would be better if they went down the secret passage of the agency. Now that they are all staying in the hall, I will be exposed sooner or later.
I could only hold my breath and hide behind the warrior without moving. I didn't even dare to show my head to look at the scene outside, for fear of exposing myself.
Just over ten seconds later, I was suddenly shocked - why didn't Dong Xiaowei's people move towards the samurai
According to common sense, these warriors holding swords are the most obvious thing in the sacrificial hall besides the altar. Dong Xiaowei's people should look at the warriors at first sight. Even if they don't want to touch these warriors, they should at least Let's determine if there is any danger to the samurai. Why didn't any of them come
When I tilted my head and looked out, I couldn't help but feel surprised again - I don't know when my location sank underground, and the floor of the sacrificial hall had reached the same height as the tip of the samurai's sword.
However, the space I am in is not completely closed to the ground, otherwise I would not be able to see the firelight coming from outside.
I didn't have time to think about why I didn't feel the movement of the stone trough just now, so I quickly grabbed the edge of the stone trough and looked out.
Dong Xiaowei's men were searching around the cave, but Dong Xiaowei himself stood on the altar and said to one of his men: "Wang Huan is worthy of being a preparatory disciple of the Shenmen. Even if he missed a move, he could still defeat the solitary man." The secret of the mountain altar is 80% correct."
The subordinate said: "I don't understand what the lady means."
Dong Xiaowei said: "Look here, there are four kinds of creatures recorded and marked on this altar, frogs, fish, monkeys and snakes. Snakes were most commonly seen in sacrifices in the ancient Dian Kingdom, and the patterns on the altar also honor snakes. "
"Frogs and fish are at the bottom because they are food for snakes. A little above the monkeys, there has been a saying in ancient times that monkeys are afraid of snakes. That is to say, the monkeys who were supposed to be the guardians of the building only became the guardian of the building after the snakes appeared. Can be reduced to the next level of existence."
Dong Xiaowei pointed to the top position of the altar and said: "In the ancient Dian Kingdom's sacrifices, snakes were the messengers that could communicate with the gods, so they placed the snakes at the top."
"Wang Huan's inference should be correct. All the last secrets of the ancient Dian Kingdom are in this altar." Dong Xiaowei said, "I think we should open the altar."
Dong Xiaowei's subordinate hesitated and said: "Miss, I think it's better not to touch the altar easily. In the eyes of wizards, the altar is the most sacred place, and there won't be anything special in it. I think it's better …”
Dong Xiaowei waved his hand and said: "The tombs of the ancient Dian monarchs have never appeared. Since we have found the ancient Dian altar, why not verify whether the Dian monarchs were buried under the altar? Call everyone over and open the altar. .”
If I hadn't hid myself from Dong Xiaowei, I would definitely go out and yell at him now - "Does Dong Xiaowei have some brains?" Can an altar be a place where people are buried? Which monarch would bury himself under the altar if his head was beaten? Is he prepared to let the gods descend on his body
As soon as this thought flashed through my head, I felt chills all over. Dong Xiaowei is definitely not a fool because she can plot against me again and again. She must have another purpose for suddenly making such a fool-like decision.
I turned my head and looked at Ye Xun's position, but he didn't even make a sound. Is Ye Xun hiding in another stone trough, or has he gone out
When I was anxious, I heard someone say: "Miss, should we use instruments to verify whether there is a tomb under the altar? It doesn't look like there is a coffin buried underneath."
"No need to bother." Dong Xiaowei pulled out a pistol from one of his subordinates without warning, raised his hand, pointed it at the top of the altar and fired three shots. After the gunshot, there was a sudden sound of ceramic exploding above the altar, and a blue liquid mixed with broken ceramic pieces poured down from the air.
I changed my position several times and couldn't see clearly what Dong Xiaowei had broken. The only thing I could see clearly was that all the blue liquid had seeped into the altar, and not a trace flowed out.
Is the altar empty
Dong Xiaowei also said at this time: "Do you believe me now?"
"Young lady is wise." Someone said after complimenting her, "Bring the tools over here and let's open the altar."
Before those people could take out their tools, I heard a loud "bang bang" sound coming from under the altar. The sound was like something desperately hitting the bottom of the altar.
After several deafening crashes, several bronze levers slowly stretched out from around the altar. The originally cylindrical altar instantly turned into the shape of a millstone.
Dong Xiaowei tried to push the lever: "Can the altar rotate? How can this happen?"
Before Dong Xiaowei finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from under the altar, and the bluestone slab that was originally covering the altar was rushed into the air by a huge force, and crashed into the distance with a howling wind. As the fragmented stone slabs clung to the ground and flew everywhere, the giant python guarding under the bronze pillar suddenly poked its head out from under the altar. The huge snake's head rose into the air, and everyone quickly retreated amidst screams.
But Dong Xiaowei shouted sharply: "Come back and push the altar to rotate, quickly!"
Dong Xiaowei's men were indeed elite. She just issued an order, and immediately someone rushed to the altar regardless of right or wrong, holding on to the bronze lever and pushing it in the same direction.
The altar had just rotated a few meters when a loud clicking sound came from the bottom, as if some mechanism had been suddenly locked. The snake's head, which had been rising high, suddenly dropped down after the strange sound, and pounced straight on top of a person's head.
The man instinctively wanted to dodge back, but Dong Xiaowei shouted sharply: "Don't hide, stand still!"
The man immediately stood back up, straightening his body and closing his eyes at the same time.
The giant snake's already drooped head stopped two or three feet away from the opponent. It could not go any further. Although the snake message spit out from its mouth was swaying in front of the man's eyes, it still stayed with him. A few inches away.
The man subconsciously wiped the cold sweat off his head and turned to look at Dong Xiaowei.
