Hidden God

Chapter 66: Confrontation

Views:

To be fair, Lu Xinyao's process of getting the gun from Li Yong's body and hiding the gun was very secretive. If I hadn't happened to see it, I would never have doubted her identity. I just said this to deliberately anger her.

Lu Xinyao said with a cold face: "You exposed me without even knowing my identity. Aren't you afraid that I and Ito Mingchuan are in the same group?"

I responded with a smile: "If you are Ito Mingchuan's accomplice, Scar will not lie to me with your image. Colleagues should hide each other's identities rather than reveal their identities. I think it should also appear in Ye Xun's eyes at that time Had the same hallucination.”

Ye Xun said calmly: "That's right."

I looked at Lu Xinyao: "Scar is also doubting your identity. He is just reminding Ito Mingchuan on purpose. By the way, you haven't revealed your identity yet."

Lu Xinyao said: "I belong to the national security department. I can only tell you so much."

When I was stunned for a moment, Lu Xinyao rolled his eyes at me: "You are the one who works in the security department for free? So many people from the Ito family suddenly entered the Northeast, will we not notice it? I came here this time just to Find out the purpose of the Ito family. If they are just here for tourism or investment, my role will always be a translator; if they do something that endangers national security, we will naturally take measures."

I glanced at Ye Xun calmly before saying, "What are you going to do now?"

"There is no way to contact the outside world in Pingtianhai. We can only rely on ourselves now." I remained silent while Lu Xinyao spoke, but she seemed to read my thoughts, "Are you thinking about how to get rid of me?"

"Hehe..." I could only cover up my embarrassment with a dry laugh. I was really thinking about how to get rid of Lu Xinyao just now. After all, I still had a lot of shit on my butt that I hadn't wiped clean.

Lu Xinyuan changed the topic in time: "Are you sure about the duel with Ito Aikawa?"

"Who said I want to duel with him?" I smiled, "I'm planning to take the opportunity to escape. It's not a wise choice to duel with them to get the golden mask. The only serious thing is to get out of here quickly."

"You... okay!" Lu Xinyao was stunned for a moment before saying, "We have been searching here for many days and still haven't found an exit. Where do you want to go out?"

"Follow me." When Lu Xinyao and I were talking, we were already out of sight of Ito Mingchuan. I glanced behind me, and immediately quickened my pace and rushed through the Juyi Hall towards the cliff behind the village.

At this time, the sky was approaching late at night, and the sky in Pingtianhai that had not been polluted by industry seemed extremely bright. Half of the crescent moon was like a scimitar pressing on the peak of the stone cliff. The cold moonlight poured down along the rocks, painting half of the stone walls. There is a layer of strange cold glow, and at first glance, it looks like a jade jade carved from ten thousand years of black ice standing between heaven and earth.

I quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and said, "Look here to see if there is any secret passage or anything like that."

"You said there is a mechanism here?" Lu Xinyao said in surprise, "But here..."

"There's no time to explain now, hurry up and find it." I groped back and forth along the cracks in the stone cliff for a long time, but I didn't find anything unusual.

Ye Xun also shook his head slightly and said, "There is nothing. Did you see it wrong?"

"Probably not." I pointed to the crack in the stone where Liu Zi's clothes were found. "Look at this location. At first, I found Liu Zi's remaining clothes here. At that time, we were still guessing whether Liu Zi got into the crack in the stone. inside."

"And, look..." I pointed to the top of the cliff, "During the day, the sun stands directly above the cliff; at night, the moon is also in the same position..."

"No!" Ye Xun said anxiously, "You are wrong. The sun and moon will move and cannot be fixed in one place forever. It was noon when we saw the sun that day. What time is it now?"

I suddenly woke up and said, "Look to the side."

After Ye Xun and I dispersed, we quickly found several stone troughs in the shape of human faces on the nearby mountain wall. Lu Xinyao stroked the groove with his hand and said, "Is this the place where the golden mask is placed?"

"It should be." I frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, the golden mask is the key to the secret realm."

Lu Xinyao asked back: "Since Ito Aikawa has the key in his hand, why doesn't he go in and instead wanders around the outside of the cottage?"

"I don't know." I said solemnly, "I'll try, you two stand back."

When Ye Xun and Lu Xinyao carefully stepped aside, I grabbed the mask and pressed it into the groove.

As soon as the golden mask was embedded in the stone trough, the moonlight shining on the stone cliff suddenly sank several meters and became a line with the golden glow flowing on the mask. The light on the mask was like melted gold water flowing in all directions along the stone patterns. Just a moment later, a layer of spiderweb-like golden lines appeared on half of the mountain wall, and the gold stuck to the middle of the stone cliff. Without any warning, the mask cracked in half from the center of his eyebrows, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Before I could exclaim, the exploding mask was like a signal. The stone powder covered with golden light exploded after the mask fell to the ground, and palm-sized stones flew away from the mountain wall layer by layer. In the meantime, a dark tunnel suddenly appeared in front of us.

Only by destroying a golden mask can the entrance to the depths of Pingtian Sea be opened? No wonder all the people with golden masks are wandering around the mountain stronghold; no wonder Ito Akikawa knew that the duel was fraudulent, but he would let me go without any worries; no wonder the six sons had to stuff their own clothes in the cracks of the stone wall... It turns out that they are all Waiting for someone to open the channel.

I looked into the cave with my flashlight and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go in first. Ye Xun, you go in first to explore the way, and Lu Xinyuan and I will stay behind."

I don't know how long the tunnel is. Judging from the distance I shined with my flashlight, the front section of the tunnel is always a straight line, and it is only wide enough for one person to pass through. If Ito Akikawa were to guard the tunnel entrance, they wouldn't need to use any advanced weapons. As long as several 38-guns were fired at the same time, it would be enough to penetrate all of us.

All of us entering the tunnel are seeking death.

I left Lu Xinyao behind and asked Ye Xun to explore the way, not because she is a girl, but because Lu Xinyao is the best marksman among us. Only the two of us can continue to deal with Ito Aikawa. .

Just as I pulled out the cannon to check the bullets, I heard bursts of footsteps coming from the direction of the village. I was suddenly shocked. Listening to the footsteps, I could tell that the number of people rushing over was far more than twenty. There were at least fifty people heading towards the village. superior.

I took a few steps to get behind the stone mosaic not far from the cave and asked urgently: "Lu Xinyao, how many samurai have come to the Ito family?"

Lu Xinyao was also confused: "Our initial intelligence was that there were only thirty people. Could it be that some of them have entered the country quietly?"

Lu Xinyao's speculation may not be wrong, but the only people who could give us the answer at that time were the swarming opponents.

The structure of this cottage is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. From the village gate to the cliff behind the cottage, it looks like an upside-down gourd. The Ito family warriors who attacked from outside had enough space to dodge and maneuver, but Lu Xinyao and I could only be suppressed near the entrance of the tunnel. Geographically, I have lost my advantage. If the opponent's number exceeds fifty, how long can Lu Xinyao and I hold them back

In just a moment, dark figures gathered from all directions, and the muzzles of guns with bayonets pointed murderously at the entrance of the cave. Lu Xinyao and I stood up from behind the rocks at the same time, and fired at Samurai Ito repeatedly. Fire. The moment the hot bullet shells flew away from my eyes, the fire snakes sprayed from the Type 38 rifle roared towards me. As the bullets whizzed past me, Lu Xinyuan kicked my leg sideways. When I knelt on the ground uncontrollably, several bullets flew past my head.

I suddenly broke into a cold sweat. The fire snakes erupted from the two guns in Lu Xinyao's hands were emptied out in that instant. Under the crisscrossing lines of fire falling like rain, Lu Xinyao turned around and jumped backwards behind the pile of rocks. As soon as her body touched the ground, she shouted sharply: "You are stupid! Are you standing there as a target for others?"

Although I have shot fixed targets, I have never experienced a true gunfight. After I locked my target just now, my eyes followed the other person's movement, and I almost forgot that there were dangers all around me. If Lu Xinyao hadn't kicked me, I would have died by now.

I raised my thumb at Lu Xinyao, but the latter said: "There are too many of them, we can't win. I'll hold them back, and you go first."

As soon as Lu Xinyao finished speaking, he stood up again, taking small steps under his feet, holding guns in both hands and firing continuously. Screams came one after another from the opposite side, and earth and rocks were flying near Lu Xinyao. The bullets whistling in the sky were dancing close to Lu Xinyao, but she seemed to be strolling through the hail of bullets, with no fear on her face.

But I know that Lu Xinyao seems to be relaxed, but in reality there are dangers all around him. If he is not careful, he will be shot and fall to the ground. The moment I was about to raise my gun to help Lu Xinyao share the firepower, the sound of gunshots piercing the sky suddenly came from the air, and the direction of the cannonball falling was right next to Lu Xinyao.

"Be careful—" I roared and jumped up, like a tiger crossing a stream, and pounced on Lu Xinyao a few meters away. The moment I was flying in the air, I clearly felt several bullets flying past me. Before the whistle of bullets dissipated in my ears, I had already thrown Lu Xinyao to the ground and pressed her tightly under me.

The moment I held Lu Xinyao down, there was a "dong" sound in my ears, and a gun that fell to the ground rolled straight towards me out of the corner of my eye.

The next moment, Lu Xinyao and I would be lifted up into the air by a cannonball and blown to pieces.

At the critical moment, only one thought flashed through my mind: If I can run, I will count it.

I grabbed Lu Xinyao's clothes with both hands, threw her far away, and turned over to suppress the cannonball.
