"Little devil, let me see how long you can last!" The rickety old man was wearing a dark green mask, only showing a pair of cold eyes, staring at the workbench, pressing his fingers on the crossbow, ready to shoot Du Dian who was dying to fight back.
in vain-
Whoosh!
A black shadow suddenly flew out from behind the workbench.
The rickety old man instinctively pressed his finger, and with a click, the crossbow bolt shot out, and the short arrow flew out quickly, but it missed the black figure, but was nailed to the wooden cabinet behind.
At this time, the black shadow landed at the feet of the stooped old man, it turned out to be a bottle of realgar powder.
His complexion changed, and he looked up hurriedly, only to see Du Dian jumping up from the ground, but instead of going around the workbench and rushing towards him, he turned around and jumped onto the side counter, grabbing the bottles and jars on it with both hands. When I came across several bottles and cans, they fell to the ground and broke, spilling powder all over the place.
The rickety old man was furious when he saw that these were all the experimental materials he had collected and carefully ground, but they were knocked to the ground like this. He gritted his teeth, quickly added the crossbow arrows, and aimed at Du Dian.
However, in the short time he reloaded the crossbow, Du Dian had already retracted under the workbench again.
"Damn kid!!" The hunchbacked old man was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames, but after several misses, he felt a little jealous of Du Dian, so he didn't step forward with a crossbow angrily. He himself didn't believe it, but he really felt the threat from this child.
"I'd like to see how long you can last!" The stooped old man looked at the undisturbed green mist that filled the secret room, his eyes were as cold as frost.
"I caught it!" Du Dian was holding a large glass bottle, which contained half a bottle of sulfur powder. At this moment, he felt that the oxygen in his lungs was getting less and less, and the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger. Looking around, looking for the fire sickle stone, however, although the stooped old man's things were scattered, there was no fire sickle nearby.
"No fire! No fire!"
Du Dian felt a little desperate in his heart. He finally thought of a way, but there was no fire. In vain, he saw the shadow above his head, which was reflected by the oil lamp. In an instant, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the place where the oil lamp was.
Unbiased and unbiased, just at the table of the crooked old man.
The oil lamp was obviously used for his work lighting, and it was not far away.
The despair in Du Dian's heart disappeared immediately, and at this moment, he felt that his chest was about to explode. He hurriedly took off his underwear, tied the hem, and poured the sulfur in the large glass bottle down the neckline. When he entered, the sulfur powder that filled his underwear immediately bulged out, he gritted his teeth, as life and death depended on it, he threw the underwear out with a low growl in his heart.
Whoosh!
The crooked old man saw a large group of black shadows flying towards him, and instinctively pulled the trigger again, and the crossbow bolt shot out instantly, hitting the corner of his inner shirt. The sharp crossbow arrows penetrated in an instant and were nailed to the wooden cabinet behind. But the ball-like inner shirt fell towards the crooked old man. His expression changed, he was worried that he was cheating, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block it. With a bang, the inner shirt was blocked by his arm, and it happened to land on the table next to him. superior.
With a bang, the oil lamp was knocked over, and the fire wick burned with the overturned oil and water. The oil and water flowed onto the inner shirt and burned immediately.
Du Dian raised his head when he heard the crossbow bolts nailed to the wooden cabinet, knowing that the rickety old man didn't fill the second crossbow bolt so fast for a while, but just happened to see his inner shirt burning, his face changed, and he hurriedly lay down .
Boom! ! !
There was a sudden thunderous explosion, and several pieces of wooden boards on the roof of the secret room collapsed, and a large amount of sand and dust flowed down.
Du Dian only felt that the workbench in front of him was overturned by a huge force and hit him, and the corners hit his ribs, causing tears to flow out of his eyes.
At this time, he could no longer hold his breath. Although he was trying his best to restrain himself, he still inhaled a puff of air, which was full of fishy and sulfurous smell. sour.
At this time, where the top of the head collapsed, the cold wind rolled in, and the sulfur and green mist in the air were rolled out. Du Dian lay limply on the ground, tightened his chest, and inhaled the air very slowly. The previous sulfur explosion, The green mist in the secret room was also dispersed a lot, and now it flew outside with the sulfur dust mist, and the smell was much weaker. He pressed against the ground and inhaled bit by bit, but he didn't smell the fishy smell again.
After a while, Du Dian felt that he was barely able to move, and immediately got up slowly. The secret room had been blasted open, and no one knew when it would completely collapse. He didn't want to be buried alive by sand and dust!
The previous explosion blew out all the oil lamps in the secret room. At this moment, the secret room is like a deep pit in the desert, and the inside is pitch black.
Du Dian gritted his teeth slightly, and with the help of the faint starlight, he groped towards the direction of the rickety old man, bumping and bumping at his feet along the way, full of collapsed wooden cabinets and tables. Relying on the distance and terrain he had memorized, he quickly found the location of the rickety old man. The first thing he touched was the overturned table. After touching it, his face immediately became ugly.
Inside the wet sticky thing, there was something hard, like a bone.
Although he was in the dark, he seemed to see the horrific corpse of the rickety old man lying in front of him, and he felt chills all over the place. He didn't expect the power of the sulfur explosion to be so terrifying. It is made into black gunpowder, and the reason why it will be heated and exploded is entirely the principle of "dust explosion".
"I killed someone..." Du Dian trembled slightly in his heart. This is a human life. Although he saw too much brokenness and poverty in this world, as well as distorted and incomplete laws, he dared not even think about killing people with his own hands. For a moment, I felt that in the darkness around me, there seemed to be the ghost of the other party, staring at me coldly behind the invisible.
He shivered slightly, gritted his teeth, and said to himself: "I'm protecting myself, no wonder I'm just protecting myself, I didn't commit a crime..." Thinking of this, he suddenly clenched his fists, his heart filled with sadness, the laws he obeyed , has long since disappeared from this world, even if he committed a crime, who can convict him
He smiled shyly. In this dark pit, in this place where the starlight cannot shine, he suddenly felt so lonely, as if he was forgotten by the whole world. This lonely loneliness gradually made his trembling body Relaxed, suddenly he was not so afraid in his heart, instead there was a kind of indifference, he silently looked at the dark place of the crooked old man's corpse, after a long time, he moved his body slowly, but instead of leaving, he bent down, Fumbled on the ground.
He's looking for that crossbow!
