【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

At the end of the line, a dim and hazy figure quietly appeared, following behind Qihou Jun unhurriedly, as if covered with a layer of darkness from beginning to end, Yuan Zhongxin stared for a moment Even without being able to see its appearance, the candlelight was projected on it, and it was completely swallowed up, exuding a sinister and frightening aura.

In order not to alarm the others, Wang Kuan asked in a low voice, "Just now on the chain bridge, was that 'person' you saw?"

Yuan Zhongxin nodded silently.

Wang Kuan realized the seriousness of the matter. He wanted to look back, but he was worried that something would happen, so he had to endure it and asked in a low voice, "Can you see its appearance clearly?"

Yuan Zhongxin shook his head with a dignified expression: "I can't see clearly, its figure is very vague, as if it is integrated with the surrounding environment. If I didn't find that the number of people was wrong, I would not have noticed that there are more people in our team." one person'."

Wang Kuan was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly, "What do you think it would be?"

Yuan Zhongxin glanced at Wang Kuan inexplicably, but did not answer. He naturally understood the meaning of Wang Kuan's words. He could appear in the crowd without being discovered out of thin air, and he looked cold and terrifying, and he was in this dangerous place. In the dungeon, there are so many things, it is really hard not to be connected with ghosts and gods.

Yuan Zhongxin took a deep breath, turned his head to Yuan Bofin to take the water bag, and moved his gaze to the back of the line calmly, but was surprised to find that the place where the figure was standing had become empty , Just now that black figure disappeared without a trace, if not for the fact that the fear was so real, Yuan Zhongxin thought it was his own illusion.

Wang Kuan also turned his head back, but failed to see the "person" Yuan Zhongxin said. He looked at Yuan Zhongxin who was stunned in surprise.

Seeing that Yuan Zhongxin's expression was not right, Yuan Bofin asked worriedly: "Zhongxin, what happened to you just now?"

Yuan Zhongxin came back to his senses, with a calm face, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I've been walking for too long, and I'm so tired that I have hallucinations."

For this explanation, if Yuan Boji really believes it, what is the difference between him and a fool?Knowing that Yuan Zhongxin didn't want to startle the snake, he could only suppress his doubts and continue to move forward with the big team.

Wang Kuan asked Yuan Zhongxin with a puzzled look: Why is it gone?

Yuan Zhongxin frowned and shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.

The stone ladder was longer than all of them expected. The further they went down, the greater the gap between the steps. When they reached the second half of the stone ladder, each step was a full two feet high. Originally One step at a time, and later evolved into one jump at a time.

Along the way, Yuan Zhongxin and his party rested several times. In order to figure out the elusive figure, he and Wang Kuan walked at the end of the line with an excuse, but they didn't find anything strange at all. Everything was normal. , had to make Yuan Zhongxin doubt himself, whether that glance just now was an illusion or reality.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to temporarily suppress the matter, and decided to discuss it with other people after leaving the dungeon.

With the guess of the "time trigger mechanism", everyone pays more attention to the time and secretly counts in their hearts. They did not expect that such a stone ladder looks long, but it does not have no end in sight, but it took them nearly Day and night time.

When everyone walked down the last step of the stone ladder, they all breathed a sigh of relief. When they thought that they were about to leave such a ghostly place, they were all overjoyed. Even the tone of their speech was not as dignified as before, and the atmosphere was tense Gradually there was a change.

At the end of the stone staircase is a room made of boulders. The room is clean, except for a three-headed Buddha statue in the center and a heavy stone door.The three-headed Buddha looked familiar. After looking at it for a long time, someone found that this stone Buddha was actually a miniature version of the tall golden Buddha statue with a mountain top outside, and its movements and faces were exactly the same.

Tang Shun explained: "Out of this room, you have to walk another section of fast-flowing waterway to get to the exit. The waterway is not easy to walk. Let's rest here for a while, and it's important to replenish our strength."

No one objected to Tang Shun's words. After all, he was already half-familiar with the dungeon, and acting according to what he said was definitely more reliable than fumbling around by himself.

Yuan Zhongxin sat cross-legged on the ground, supported his chin with one hand, and stared at the stone statue of the three-headed Buddha thoughtfully.

Wang Kuan came to sit beside him, knowing that he was thinking, and sat quietly by the side without disturbing him.

Yuan Zhongxin opened his mouth suddenly, with a slightly dazed tone: "Wang Kuan, what do you think is the significance of this dungeon being built? We came in this time, except for the four dead brothers, it seems that we couldn't find anything."

There was obviously nothing in the dungeon, and they wanted to escape from this place immediately, but people outside rushed to come in.

Wang Kuan stared at him, and smiled helplessly: "Who knows, maybe this dungeon may really be just a heavenly palace abandoned by the gods."

The corner of Yuan Zhongxin's mouth raised slightly, he glanced at Wang Kuan, and teased, "Didn't you never believe in the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods? Why, now you start to think that there are really gods and ghosts in this world?"

Wang Kuan smiled and said nothing, sighed: "It's okay to believe this kind of thing once in a while."

At this moment, Wei Yanei bent over and stood in front of the stone Buddha statue, swaying left and right, hesitating, blinking his eyes, and looked at the three Buddha heads suspiciously.

Looking at the neurotic Wei Yanei, Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows in distaste, not knowing why: "Wei Yanei, why are you twisting around, dancing?"

Wei Yanei ignored Yuan Zhongxin's ridicule, and asked solemnly: "Yuan Zhongxin, do you still remember what the Buddha statue outside looks like?"

Yuan Zhongxin tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why Wei Yanei asked such a question, but he still replied: "Remember, isn't it the same as the one in front of you?"

Wei Yanei straightened up, scratched his hair blankly, and said to himself hesitantly: "Really? How did I remember that the Buddha statues outside can't laugh?"

At this time, the room was quiet, although Wei Yanei's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly.

Zhao Jian tensed up instantly, and asked in surprise, "Is the Buddha statue smiling?"

Wei Yameni moved away, and a chill ran down his spine: "Come and see, I don't know if my eyes are dazzled, after staring at it for a long time, I suddenly felt that the Buddha statue was looking at me and smiling."

Yuan Zhongxin felt strange in his heart. He immediately got up and came to Wei Yanei, his eyes were fixed on the face of the stone Buddha statue. It was indeed no different from the golden Buddha statue outside, but Yuan Zhongxin keenly noticed the corner of the stone Buddha statue's mouth. It seems to be rising slightly.

Wang Kuan and the others gathered around one after another, looking at the stone statue anxiously, talking in a low voice for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

The red-clothed Qianse frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Quiet!"

Tang Shun was familiar with his subordinates and knew that Qianse's hearing was the most sensitive among the twelve generals, so he gestured to Yuan Zhongxin and the others to be calm and calm.

Even Xue Ying, who was beside Wei Yanei, could vaguely hear the abnormality, and his attention was focused on all kinds of subtle sounds.

After a while, Qian Se and Xue Ying's expressions changed drastically, and they said in unison: "There is crying!"

When everyone heard the words, their expressions suddenly became terrified, and the grass and trees were like soldiers.

Wei Ya was so frightened that he couldn't speak incoherently: "No...no, why didn't I hear it?"

The room containing more than [-] people was dead silent, and the flow of the wind could be vaguely heard, but the cries from Xue Ying and Qian Se's mouths could not be heard.

Xue Ying muttered to herself very puzzled: "No, I really heard crying just now..."

Qian Se's expression was rare, he looked at Tang Shun and said, "Young Master, I heard that too."

Just when everyone was nervously looking up at everything in the room, Xiao Jing inadvertently lowered his eyes and uttered a fearful and urgent cry: "Stone statue!"

When the eyes of the rest of the people touched the stone statue, everyone's breathing seemed to be tightly grasped by invisible fear, their pupils trembled, their bodies froze, and they stared at the stone statue in extreme horror, not daring to move a bit.

The looming smile of the three-headed Buddha unexpectedly became exaggerated and twisted quietly!

Immediately afterwards, six glaring and terrifying tears of blood flowed from the three pairs of Buddha eyes, and soon completely obliterated the face of the stone Buddha.

But in the blink of an eye, the indifferent Buddha statue turned into a hideous hell ghost, and the three terrifying smiling faces seemed to be mocking everyone present!

Just when everyone was panicking, there was a vague sob from a corner of the room, followed by a hair-raising sob that pierced through the ears!

Yuan Zhongxin felt his hair stand on end, and his whole body was covered with goosebumps. He shouted sharply, "Tang Shun! Take us out of here!"

Tang Shun suddenly came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice: "Shili, go and open the door!"

Shili didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly turned around and came to the stone gate. He groped the stone gate with both hands and ten fingers, and suddenly turned pale with shock: "Young master! The mechanism on the stone gate is gone!"

As soon as the voice fell, the low-pitched cry suddenly amplified and became sharp and piercing in an instant, rushing straight into everyone's minds like a sharp blade, causing headaches, tinnitus and dizziness, and amidst the chaotic crying, there were still people whispering, Between the tone, all thoughts are lost!

"let me out……!"

"I don't want to be underground! I don't want to be underground!"

"Let me die! Please! Let me die!"

"Ah-ah!"

"Woo--don't! Don't lock me in! Don't!"

The voice of speaking became more and more sharp and crazy, and the heart-piercing cries and pleadings knocked back everyone's minds, and they were on the verge of collapse!

Even if he covered his ears, the hoarse shouts were still pervasive, reaching into everyone's ears like crazy!And they could only helplessly tremble, hit, roll, and breathe rapidly, hoping that the demented voice would disappear!

Yuan Zhongxin had a splitting headache, his face was pale, the blood in his confidant was surging, his breath was not smooth, a mouthful of blood sprayed out from his throat, he only felt that his body was being tortured by Ling Chi, and the flesh and blood on his body were being sliced ​​by the blade. Cutting it off made him feel so much pain that he didn't want to live. If it wasn't for his strong will to survive, he would almost hit the wall and die!

Wang Kuan almost gritted all the teeth in his mouth before he managed to wake up. Seeing Yuan Zhongxin vomit blood, he ignored the grief, took Yuan Zhongxin into his arms, and shouted loudly with all his strength: "Everyone go the same way! Return! Quick!"

Everyone's sanity was almost wiped out by the desperate screams that filled the air, and they heard someone telling them to go back in a trance, so they could only rely on their last survival instinct to climb the stone ladder step by step!

boom!

Before everyone stepped on the stone ladder, the stone house shook for a while!

Then, everyone was stunned by the sudden change and fell to the ground in a mess.

Wang Kuan hugged the unconscious Yuan Zhongxin tightly and refused to let go. Before he completely lost consciousness, with dim eyes, he saw a figure smudged with black and red walking towards them unhurriedly.

The next moment, Wang Kuan's eyes darkened, and the world was gloomy.

The desperate cries and ear-piercing begging for mercy all disappeared, and the room returned to complete silence.
