Masked Knight

Chapter 122: [Deep in the canyon]

Views:

When Dan Yuewu woke up in a daze, she only felt that her lips were unbearably dry and cracked, and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood, mixed with a sweet and salty taste. All the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart, and there was a sharp pain in his chest at the slightest movement. She suddenly remembered that tonight she and an elder from the clan secretly followed the Tulip Duke into the cave, and the result... thinking of this, her expression changed. Recalling that he saw his companions being swallowed by the terrifying monster, he was also hit and fainted.

The things in front of me gradually became clear from blur, and I saw the Tulip Duke looking at me with a half-smile on his face.

Dan Yuewu was startled and immediately woke up. She supported herself and sat up. Although there was another pain in her chest, the severe pain made her more conscious.

Rody looked at her and said coldly: "It turns out to be you! I never thought that you are actually from the Silver Moon Clan! You are secretly lurking in Ziye City, and you actually dare to hide next to me. No wonder you hid with me that night You don’t dare to show up behind you, are you afraid that I will recognize you?”

Dan Yuewu smiled coldly and said: "Okay. Now that you have seen me, there is nothing to hide! You are right. From the day you came to Ziye City, I made up my mind to get close. You. That idiot governor invited me to serve you for a drink, and then he actually asked me to serve you in daily life, which played into my heart!"

Looking around, I saw that the two of them were sitting in a cave at the moment. There were countless black holes, large and small, on the four walls. Dan Yuewu frowned and said, "What is this place?"

Rody smiled bitterly: "I don't know, I carried you and escaped from the big snake, and then ran here. Look..."

Rody slowly stood up, pointed to one of the Ruoduo holes on the wall, and said calmly: "We came out of that cave."

When Dan Yuewu heard "big snake", her face changed, revealing an expression of fear, her body trembled slightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "What on earth is that monster? I... my companion..."

Rody immediately interrupted her and said calmly: "Don't be delusional. Your companion is dead. I can't save people from the snake's belly."

Dan Yuewu shook her head, sighed, and then looked up at Rody: "Duke Tulip, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Rody smiled bitterly: "What do you have to ask? You are from the Silver Moon Clan. It is normal for you to lurk in Ziye City in order to plan a big plan. As for you secretly following me tonight, although I didn't expect it, I don't think so either. Weird... As for the rest, hey, let’s wait until we are lucky enough to go out!”

Dan Yuewu nodded. Although her face didn't look good, she hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Thank you... thank you for saving me."

Rody, however, pretended not to hear and stared blankly at the dozen or so holes on the wall with a worried look on his face. After a while, Rody smiled bitterly and said: "It seems we can't go back - if you don't want to go back and meet the big snake. But I don't know which way to go in these caves."

Under the dim light everywhere, the expression on Rody's face looked helpless.

Dan Yuewu shook her head: "I definitely can't go back. That monster is too powerful. I'm afraid neither of us can be its opponent. Why don't we just find a way to go on and leave life and death to fate!"

Rody glanced at her: "You don't seem to care too much. One of your companions has died. Don't you care too much?"

Dan Yuewu smiled faintly, with an indifferent expression on her pale face: "We have already sworn to God Kara for the revival of the great Kara tribe, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives at any time."

Rody curled his lips, but secretly said in his heart: "You don't care about life or death, but I care very much."

In desperation, Rody closed his eyes and pointed in a random direction, and then chose a cave. Dan Yuewu next to her couldn't help but smile mockingly. Roddy's eyes widened. That means, if you have a good idea, just do it!

The two of them did not dare to wait too long for fear that the big snake would chase them. Rody bent down and picked up Dan Yuewu again. Dan Yuewu only struggled a little, and then realized that her injuries were really serious, so she stopped resisting. Rody said coldly: "Why move? Do you think I am willing to hug you... hum, is that rare?"

However, this mountain road became increasingly narrow as we walked on it. Luo Di felt a little uneasy in his heart, and Dan Yuewu also remained silent. Rody said: "It's better if the road is narrow. Even if the snake catches up, it can't get in. Wouldn't it be better?"

Both of them were worried and didn't talk much along the way. Fortunately, although the cave was rugged, there was no danger. After walking for an unknown distance, Rody was so tired that he was sweating profusely. The sweat flowed down his face and fell on Dan Yuewu's face. Dan Yuewu didn't say anything, but she was a little moved in her heart. He sighed and suddenly said: "Duke Tulip, why did you save me just now? I'm already injured. If you leave me as a burden, I'm afraid you can run faster."

Roddy was irritated and couldn't help but stare and said fiercely: "Do you want to die? Then tell me and I will throw you down right now!" As he said this, he quickened his pace.

Seeing the light in the cave gradually getting stronger, after rounding a bend, the front suddenly became bright. There was a faint breeze blowing over, bringing with it a bit of cool and fresh air.

Rody cheered, ran a few steps faster, and saw that he had already reached the entrance of the cave.

As expected, we had already walked out of the mountainside outside the cave. The outside was suddenly open, surrounded by mountains, and the sky was gray, as if there was a faint mist.

If you look carefully, you will see the end of a canyon in front of you. Between the two rows of mountain walls on the left, there is a canyon that leads to nowhere. I just stand there and look at it. The canyon is filled with mist, and my eyes can only reach a few dozen steps away, and then I can no longer see it. This cave entrance is just outside the canyon, and the other side is gradually opening up, but I don't know where it leads.

No matter what, after finally walking out of the mountain, Rody couldn't help but feel happy. He jumped out of the cave with Dan Yuewu in his arms, and couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that we are really lucky. We just found it." The road actually came out.”

Dan Yuewu in her arms was staring at the mountain wall where she had just walked out of the cave, and suddenly sighed deeply: "It seems that we are not coming out... but... coming in."

"What?"

"Look at this mountain wall."

When Rody heard this, he looked around and saw more than a dozen caves of various sizes lined up on the mountain wall, and the cave he just walked out of was among them.

"How is this going?"

Dan Yuewu said lightly: "Didn't you notice? When we were in the mountains just now, how many cave entrances did we see?"

Rody shook his head.

Dan Yuewu frowned: "You didn't pay attention, but I counted, there are fourteen in total. You picked one out at random... But now you count, how many caves are there?"

Rody looked at it and whispered: "Thirteen."

"That's it. When we came here, we saw fourteen cave entrances, but there are only thirteen exits here. In other words, there is another cave whose exit is not here. The exits of the thirteen caves are all in the same place... You don't Do you think it’s strange?”

Rody's face also darkened: "What you mean is that all thirteen holes are trapped and deceived. Only one hole is the real exit... But we didn't go in the right direction."

Dan Yuewu nodded and sighed: "Have you just realized it now..."

Rody was silent for a while, frowned and said: "But no matter what, we have finally walked out of the mountain. Now outside, as long as we know the direction, we can always walk back to the Fire Tribe."

Dan Yuewu's face turned gloomy: "Go back? Do you think that cave is natural? I think that cave must have been dug by humans. Since these dozen caves were dug by humans, they must be to confuse people. Thirteen of them all lead to the same place, do you think this is a good sign?”

Roddy finally fell silent, feeling that what this woman said made sense.

Andy's voice in his head whispered: "This girl has a point. Boy, you'd better turn back... I always feel like something is wrong with this place."

Rody sighed, turned around and walked back to the cave with Dan Yuewu in his arms. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he heard a faint hissing sound coming from the depths of the cave. Rody couldn't help but change the color on his face. Said: "That big snake!"

Dan Yuewu also said with a trembling voice: "It... it went back. It went back to the big cave."

Rody smiled bitterly and said: "Now that it has gone back, we can't go back. Unless you want to meet it."

There was silence all around, and the two glanced at each other. Rody couldn't help but said: "What should we do? Take that canyon? Or go to the other side?"

Dan Yuewu looked a little uneasy: "I don't know... I just feel something is wrong... I grew up in the mountains, and I have never seen such a quiet place in the mountains... There are no birds in the sky, no animals on the ground, and no trees on the road... It's like here It’s like a dead place.”

Rody couldn't help but shuddered and said reluctantly: "It's so scary, I don't believe it!"

He plucked up the courage and strode towards the canyon with Danyuewu in his arms. Just two steps away, he felt a cold wind blowing in front of him. It was obviously not winter at this time, but the wind felt like it was blowing on him. The cold winter wind is biting. Rody's heart moved, and a thought suddenly flashed out. He couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "I know! This is the other end of the Death Canyon! We... we have entered the Death Canyon!"

Dan Yuewu's expression suddenly changed, her body shook violently, and she almost fell out of Rody's arms. She said in a trembling voice, "You said we entered... the Peak of Sin??"

Rody was stunned for a moment, then understood. He remembered that when the Silver Moon tribe came to find him that night, they mentioned that this canyon was called the "Top of Sin" by the Silver Moon tribe.

Rody said in a deep voice: "How to get there? Isn't it your mission as a Silver Moon clansman to protect this place? You should know what's going on here, right?"

Dan Yuewu suddenly shouted: "Get out! Get out! We must get out! True God Kara's order is that no one is allowed to enter here! Get out quickly!" She twisted around in Roddy's arms, with a panicked expression on her face .

Roddy quickly hugged her and said loudly: "What are you doing! Just get out! Humph, do you think I like being here?" After saying that, he strode towards the canyon and said this, What was on his mind was another thought.

Tonight, I originally wanted to explore Wuya’s secrets, but I didn’t expect that I would follow the secret passage in his room and adventure all the way, and it would actually lead to this death canyon!

I remembered that Wuya himself admitted that day that his serious injury was caused by entering this canyon. Roddy couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart - Wuya was not a "serious injury". According to Andy's speculation, he was possessed by some kind of magic or something else, which caused him to age rapidly. With Wuya being so powerful and having ended up like this, Roddy has no interest in trying it again.

Without stopping, he has entered the canyon. This canyon is quite wide, with steep mountain walls on both sides and a forest of strange rocks. The path in the canyon is even more rugged, and there is a bit of mist in front of it. Although it is not blinding, the further you go inside, the more gray your surroundings become, and your eyes can only reach a distance of ten steps away. , nothing can be seen no matter how far away it is.

"It's really evil." Rody was secretly wary, and his steps couldn't help but slow down.

Suddenly, there was a soft "crash" from the front, as if something had touched the gravel on the ground.

Rody's heart skipped a beat, he stopped and listened, his expression became solemn.

He only heard the sound of "crash, clatter, clatter" getting closer. Although the sound was not loud, it must be that something was slowly approaching him. Rody put down Dan Yue Wu and pulled out the dagger. I heard from the mountain people that this canyon is very scary. For many years, no one has come out alive as long as they walked in! There's no guarantee there isn't something scary and weird here - the big snake we saw tonight was scary enough!

What's more, not only has he "entered" the Death Canyon at this moment, he is actually standing in the deepest part of the canyon! !

Dan Yuewu was half-sitting on the ground, her expression tense and frightened, her pretty face turned pale, one hand subconsciously grabbed the corner of Rody's clothes, and her body was trembling faintly.

With two strange "squeaking" sounds, Rody finally saw something crawling on the ground in front of him. This sight made his hair stand on end...
