This fainting made me completely lose my ability to resist. The only thing I could think of before losing consciousness were four words: "Let fate"
After I finally woke up, the first thing I saw was the flashlight that kept flashing. I had been unconscious for at least five or six hours, otherwise the flashlight would not have been on the verge of running out of power.
All my equipment and the golden mask were thrown away not far from me. There was a note underneath the mask: "If you want to save Ye Xun, come to me with the golden mask on. The mask will take you to where you should go." .”
After I entered Pingtianhai, I had the opportunity to put on the golden mask several times, but I always resisted this attempt.
Ever since I put on the golden mask in the Gushan Secret Cave, I have had an uncontrollable fear of the mask from the bottom of my heart.
God knows what will happen after I put on the mask. I may be replaced by someone's consciousness and become a successor, or I may go completely crazy and no longer know who I am. Maybe I will become like Old Man Sun and their experimental subjects. , bleeding from his seven orifices and died suddenly on the spot.
This time, I am still betting on my life, on myself.
It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid. I have always felt that there is no one in this world who is truly not afraid of death, but so what if I am afraid
People have already stepped onto the guillotine. No matter how much they shrink their necks, the executioner's ghost-headed knife will have to fall. It is better to hold up your chest and raise your head, and you may still be able to see the cold beauty of the blade cutting through the sky, and the tragic beauty of the blood flying into the sky.
Besides, there are Ye Xun and Lu Xinyao waiting for me to save their lives. Gambling one life on three lives is a good deal no matter how you look at it. I must bet on this one.
I slowly pushed the two spikes on the golden mask that I had bent back to their original positions, held the golden mask in both hands, took a deep breath, and suddenly slapped my hands on my face, two The golden thorn instantly pierced the skin on the top of my head, and after tracing an inch along the direction of my skull under my scalp, warm blood immediately dripped down the sides of my cheeks.
Just one breath later, two golden thorns grabbed my skull like two barbs. At that moment, I almost wanted to reach out and pull off the mask. In just a second, I raised my hands halfway I forced it back, then tightened the pressure on my knees, and dug my fingers into the flesh at the same time. It seemed that this was the only way to reduce the fear in my heart.
At that moment, I could clearly hear the golden thorns making random noises on the top of my head, as if they were about to penetrate my bones. Waves of severe pain, as if my skull were exploding, extended from the top of my head to the roots of my ears. It felt like my head could explode from the inside out at any moment. Relentless pain and endless fear alternated between me, and I could grab the mask and escape at any time.
But the game of gambling has begun. Can I give up Ye Xun halfway and leave Pingtianhai alone
Life and death are just a moment of choice or a moment of waiting.
wait! You'll probably find out in a few seconds.
When I closed my eyes resignedly, all the fingers of my hands were already dug into my flesh, but I felt nothing. The only thing I could feel was the two golden thorns that were constantly drilling into my skull, and were still slowly digging deeper into my head.
Just a moment later, the golden thorns piercing my skull suddenly stopped. All I could feel was the severe swelling pain caused by the two golden thorns on my head, but I didn't know whether the two sharp thorns penetrated me. Skull, or how deep it penetrates the bone.
According to common sense, it is impossible for extremely soft gold to pierce human bones, but the golden mask cannot be measured by common sense. I didn't even dare to open my eyes easily at that time, because I was afraid that I would see the blood dripping from my body as soon as I opened my eyes.
After taking a few deep breaths, I managed to calm down and slowly opened my eyes, but the first thing I saw was a blood-red full moon.
The strange blood moon is far away in the horizon, yet seems to be right in front of me. I am clearly in the cave. Where did that blood moon come from
I remembered that Old Man Sun and the others said that they must reach a certain destination on the night of the blood moon. I just asked so many secrets, but I just forgot to go to the night of the blood moon. Now the blood moon is coming, but I have no idea how dangerous it will be.
When I stood up tentatively, the blood moon seemed to move back a few feet. Was it guiding me forward
After this thought flashed through my mind, I took a few more steps, and the blood moon was indeed retreating step by step as I moved.
The masked man said: The golden mask will take me to find Ye Xun. Is that what it means
After I walked out of the cave step by step with the moving blood moon, I suddenly saw a bloody dragon head from the corner of my eye.
That bat dragon is not dead yet! Is it waiting for me at the entrance of the sinkhole
I suddenly shuddered, and the blood-stained head of the bat dragon stretched out toward me from the side, with traces of broken flesh hanging from the dragon's teeth almost sticking to my face.
With the speed of the bat dragon at such a close distance, even if I were twice as fast, I still wouldn't be able to escape the fate of having my head ripped off by the dragon's mouth. The shattered and mutilated corpses all over the ground in the sinkhole were not mine. A lesson learned
None of them had their bodies torn apart by the bat dragon and their internal organs eaten, otherwise the bat dragon's face wouldn't be stained with blood.
What I didn't expect was that the bat dragon stretched out its bloody nose and sniffed my face twice, then slowly retreated.
Was it because I was wearing the golden mask that the bat dragon was allowed to retreat
When I looked sideways at the pot-bellied bat dragon, cold sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead again - it wasn't that the bat dragon didn't want to eat me, but that he was already too full and couldn't eat anything else.
I have heard it said that ferocious beasts that are full will not hunt because they want to kill. Only a few carnivores will attack their prey just to kill and kill, such as foxes.
As I slowly backed up, the blood moon in front of me suddenly disappeared. When I turned around again, the blood moon was still hanging in the original direction, but it was obviously smaller than before.
Why does the blood moon get smaller
I was startled, and the masked man's voice suddenly rang in my ears: "This is the Blood Moon Leading the Netherworld. If you follow the Blood Moon forward, you can find Ye Xun. But as long as you look back to see other things, place, the blood moon will become smaller and smaller, and finally disappear. When the blood moon is gone, you will never find the secret location, and you should say goodbye to your friends. Of course... "
The masked man changed the subject and said: "You can also choose not to look at the blood moon. Run back quickly, maybe you can escape from Pingtianhai before the bat dragon gets hungry. The power of choice is in your hands. Where to go, I know. It’s up to you.”
"You..." I just said one word, and the other party's voice disappeared in my ears. No matter how I called, there was no response from the other party.
I clearly knew that the other person was not far away from me, but I didn't dare to look back to find his location. The blood moon hanging in the sky is like a shackle, tightly restricting my gaze.
After only standing there for a few seconds, I stepped forward and walked in the direction of the blood moon.
I had just walked five or six meters away when the sound of the bat dragon's claws stepping on the grass followed behind me. The bat dragon did not intend to let go of my living prey. It was waiting for its belly to be empty until it could Until you put me down.
I took a step forward, and the bat dragon followed a foot forward. The fishy dragon breath sprayed on me. After a while, I felt a layer of sticky water vapor rising on my back.
But the blood moon in front of me is still retreating inch by inch. It is guiding me and not letting me go too fast. I don't dare to rush forward beyond the blood moon. God knows, the blood moon is left behind me. Will it just disappear
Every step I took was a choice between life and death. The crisis was gradual and each step was scary. I was still trembling when I first walked out of the sinkhole, but I soon felt relieved - what could the blood moon lead the way? What happened to the bat dragon next? The worst I can do is step into hell. Could it be that the blood moon can take me to a place more dangerous than the underworld of Yin Chao
Instead of being timid, I should hold my head high and stride forward. At least the moment my head was cut off and blood flowed, the bones made a clanking sound.
As I climbed over the mountains and ridges, a vague shadow appeared in front of me - Ye Xun.
While I was slightly shocked, Ye Xun's figure began to become clearer. When Ye Xun's pale face appeared in front of me, the blood-red traces on his body also pierced my eyes.
My heart suddenly trembled, and my two fists clenched unconsciously, but my feet did not stop at all.
Ye Xun in the distance was like a piece of paper blown by the wind, floating in the air in a daze: "Wang Huan, leave Pingtianhai and leave quickly. It's still too late."
I turned a deaf ear and stared directly at the blood moon as I kept moving forward, but Ye Xun's voice came over again: "I am already dead. I died when I came out of the cave. Go back! There is no point in looking for me."
I said solemnly: "If you are alive, you want to see people, if you are dead, you want to see the body."
Ye Xun smiled lightly and said, "You risked your life and rushed in just to take a look at the corpse?"
My voice began to get colder: "Ye Xun is alive, I will take him out of Pingtianhai with him. If Ye Xun is dead, I will collect his body and bury him."
Ye Xun whispered: "You didn't tell the truth. You want to use the golden mask to resurrect me, right? Go back quickly! The golden mask is a scam, an eternal scam. No one can use the golden mask to resurrect me. Even if it's a borrowed corpse. No way either.”
"Believe me, don't go further in. The scam of the Golden Mask has killed countless people. Eternal heroes such as Yelu Deguang and Shuluping have been harmed by the Golden Mask. What can you do if you go in?"
I let Ye Xun chatter endlessly and strode forward without saying a word. When Ye Xun saw that I had no reaction, he began to become more and more impatient: "Wang Huan, listen to me and don't leave."
"Wang Huan, did you hear what I was saying?"
"Wang Huan, am I asking you something?"
"Wang Huan, Wang Huan, don't blame me for being rude if you don't answer."
