Chapter 158

Thanks for the pity: "...No matter how you say it, it is impossible to swept behind us without any movement, and did such a big thing."

Even if Xie Lian didn't believe in his own insight, he also believed in Huacheng. Besides, seriously, he trusted himself very much in his instinct for danger. Huacheng Road: "Go back. Take a look."

The two walked side by side and returned to the original path. After walking for a while in the tunnel, they stopped.

It's not that they want to stop, but that they have no way to go and are forced to stop. The tunnel they came from, although twisted and twisted, there is only one way, but now that they have not returned, there is a cold stone wall out of thin air!

Both of them didn't change their faces. Thanks for the pity: "Is this an illusion or is it real?"

A silver butterfly flew forward leisurely, touched the uneven stone wall, and was bounced back without any abnormality. Huacheng Road: "It's true."

Xie Lian nodded and said, "That would be tricky."

Ghosts hit the wall, common people, there are two ways: The first is to make you see illusions. That is, you think there is a stone wall here, but there is no such thing as an illusion. This is also very easy to get rid of, go up and touch it directly, or slap yourself in the face, pour yourself a basin of cold water, wake up and touch it again;

The second is to confuse your memory of the road, sense of direction, and other senses. This is a little more powerful. For example, at a fork in the road, you think you chose the left, but in fact, you are in a trance and go to the right. There is also the so-called "ghost circling", but it's just a little trick: when a person steps on the left foot and the right foot, there is a subtle deviation in the step distance. Inhumans will confuse your mind and expand this deviation. So unknowingly, you thought it was a straight line when you walked down, but it actually went around in a big circle, and when you came back, you would be surprised: Hey, why did you come back here again?!

But for both of them, these two doorways are small tricks. This cold stone wall is actually the third type: it is real.

Xie Lian was thinking about whether to rudely penetrate this stone wall to see what was going on behind, and then listened to Huacheng Road: "Brother, give me your hand."

Thanks: "?"

Although doubtful, he still obediently passed his hand to Huacheng. Huacheng gently held his hand, put it in his palm, and covered it with the other hand, as if he had put something on him.

Xie Lian also held his breath for a moment, then he raised his hand and said strangely: "This is?"

On the third finger of his left hand, there is a thin red line, which is tied to him by Huacheng himself. Moreover, this red line stretched out continuously and was connected with the red line between Huacheng's fingers.

Huacheng raised his hand, showed him the same little butterfly-shaped red knot on the two hands, and smiled: "Tied together."

After listening to this sentence, Xie Lian felt that his face was a little hot. I wonder if he was too sensitive. He quickly rubbed his face hard, as if he was afraid that Huacheng would notice that his heartbeat was much faster than usual, and smiled: "This is What kind of magic?"

"Well." Huacheng slightly corrected the color, put down his hand, and said, "Although we will not take the initiative to separate, but just in case. This line will not be broken, it will not be short. If the line is not broken, you will know the person on the other end. It's fine. Unless the person is gone, you can definitely follow the line to find the person on the other side of the red line."

Thanks for the pity: "What does it mean when it's gone?"

Huacheng Road: "Dead, or disappeared."

Xie Lian was about to speak when he heard a faint vibration in the distance. He listened intently for a moment and said, "Who is punching?"

This strength and frequency, as if someone is hitting the mountain with a punch. Thanks for the pity: "This kind of power is definitely not an ordinary person, it must be a god of war. Could it be General Pei?"

Huacheng Road: "It came from the front."

This "front" naturally refers to the front where they originally planned to go, but had to turn back because Pei Ming and others disappeared halfway. But Pei Ming and others disappeared behind them, how could they suddenly run to the front? And if it wasn't for Pei Ming, who would it be?

The two looked at each other and walked side by side to see exactly what happened. Halfway through, the sound of punching the mountain suddenly disappeared, whether it was intentional or exhausted.

But it has come, how can it be abandoned halfway? So, Xie Lian and Huacheng continued to walk to the place where the sound came from. A few silver butterflies fluttered in front of the dark blue and dark tunnel, illuminating the way for them. Suddenly, Xie Lian caught a glimpse of something strange on the side of the stone wall, and said, "What is that? The red line?"

Looking at it from a distance, I really don't know what it is, but it is very strange, like a red line, but much thicker than the red line, and it is still twisting, more like a long red worm. Xie Lian slowly walked to the stone wall, looked carefully, and said, "Isn't this the half-moon scorpion-tailed snake?"

Sure enough, it was the lower body of a purple-red scorpion-tailed snake, exposed outside the wall, constantly shaking and tangled. Its upper body seems to be buried in the stone wall, thank you: "It got into a hole and can't climb out?"

Huacheng Road: "I'm afraid not."

The whole body of this scorpion-tailed snake hangs in the air, and the snake can't climb the wall. How can it swim to such a high place to drill a hole? Besides, there are so many holes in this stone wall, even if it has to be drilled, why do you have to drill such a small one? ? This "hole" is also strange, it almost fits the shape of the snake's body, and it is stuck alive.

Xie pity wanted to grab the snake and pull it out to see, but the snake was very vigilant, flung the scorpion's tail wildly, and slammed into it, almost stabbing the pity. So, Huacheng flicked it, although it seemed to be casual, the snake seemed to be stunned by this, and did not dare to move. Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was about to speak when he suddenly shut up and said, "Did you hear that?"

Huacheng also said: "I heard it."

The two looked forward together.

In the darkness, there was a low sound of breathing slowly, very steady, very gentle.

The two undead butterflies played with each other and flew towards the place where the breathing sound came from. The higher they flew, the higher the silver light rose. Gradually, his hands lit up.

This is a pair of hands. man's hand. The backs of the hands were bloodied and scarred, and hung down as if they were dead. Further up, a messy human head is reflected, and the human head is also drooping as if dead.

However, there is no lower body.

Yes, the man "hanging" high on the stone wall has no lower body. He only showed an upper body, as if it had grown out of thin air from the stone wall!

In the past, Xie Lian had seen some princes and nobles. When hunting rare prey, he cut off the head of the prey, treated it with potion, made it incorrupt, and hung it on the wall of his mansion for people to see. The current situation made him involuntarily think of the tiger, deer, wolf and other animal heads lined up on the wall. But this man is clearly still breathing, he is still alive!

Xie pity took a step closer and said: "What is this? Is it the body of the mountain monster?"

However, there was no response beside him. Thanks for the pity, the scalp suddenly climbed up a chill, and turned back suddenly, and sure enough - the flower city was gone!

Thanks for the pity: "Sanlang?!"

Naturally, no one answered, but the man hanging on the wall muttered a few words, as if he was about to wake up and was talking in his sleep. Right now, Xie Lian has no interest in taking care of him at all. After turning around twice, he suddenly remembered the red thread that Huacheng had tied to his hand before, and he was overjoyed. Sure enough, the red line was still there, unbroken. So, Xie Lian was a little relieved, holding this red line, pulling it all the way, walking, the line came to an end.

The other end of this red line actually connected into a stone wall!

Xie pity was unbelievable, and he pulled it twice, and there was a steady stream of longer red lines pulled out of the stone wall, which made him wonder, is Huacheng in this stone wall at the moment?

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Lian said nothing, he would break the wall when he raised his heart. Who knows, before the tip of his sword touched the stone wall, his eyes suddenly turned black, and the stone wall in front of him seemed to suddenly open a huge pot. , with a sip, swallowed him whole!

The darkness in front of him did not pass quickly, but turned into continuous darkness as Xie Lian was swallowed up. In all directions, sand, gravel and soil were pressing heavily towards him, suffocating. And the sand, gravel and soil are still moving constantly, it feels as if it was swallowed into the stomach of a giant monster. Besides him, the monster ate a lot of messy things, and in order to digest it, he turned the river and the sea in his stomach. ; It's like falling into quicksand, there is nowhere to use it, and the harder it is, the deeper it sinks. Xie Lian just wanted to break through the wall to exit, but remembered that Huacheng might be inside, instead of retreating, he would move forward while waving his arm to break the sand and cut the soil, while dragging the red line forward. At this moment, a hand suddenly stuck out in front of him and accurately grabbed his wrist. Thanks for the pity: "Who?!"

He ate a mouthful of mud with one mouth and spat it out in misery. And that hand grabbed him and pulled him into a bosom, and a familiar voice sounded above: "Brother, it's me!"

As soon as I heard this voice, Xie Lian relaxed, hugged each other hard, and blurted out: "...That's great, the red line didn't break, I really found you!"

Huacheng also hugged him hard, and said with certainty: "It's not broken! I found you too."

It turned out that the strange things that the two of them encountered were exactly the same. Xie pity is observing the halfling hanging on the wall, and Huacheng is paying attention to observe the surroundings, beware of something lurking in the dark. Who knows, in the blink of an eye, Xie Lian who was standing beside him disappeared. Inexplicably, a stone wall appeared. Huacheng took the red line and walked all the way to find it, and found that the end of the red line was connected to the wall, so he simply went in and looked for pity.

In fact, there should have been just another wall between them at first, but both of them thought the other was in the wall, so they went in by themselves. Xie Lian repeated Huacheng for the countless times in his heart and thought of everything in advance, saying: "Fortunately, you connected a red line! Otherwise, it is difficult to say if you can't find it. No wonder General Pei and the others disappeared so suddenly, it turned out that it was not at all. Someone attacked, but...they were swallowed by the mountain monster."

Huacheng Road: "Yes, the location chosen is unfortunate, a shovel just dug into the stomach of the mountain monster."

Xie Lian could not help but cough.

Yes. At this moment, they must be in the stomach of one of the "old, sick, and dead" three mountain monsters. At that time, Yinyu asked Xie Lian if he wanted to dig upwards. The selected location happened to be the habitat of this mountain monster, and Xie Lian readily agreed that the peerless luck would not be deceived. The sand, gravel and soil in all directions made the space for the two of them become narrower and more suffocating. Xie Lian felt that this place should not stay for a long time, and said: "How do we get out now?"

Huacheng Road: "It was dug through the bottom, not very happy, it is digesting us, it is a little troublesome. But brother, don't worry, you can always go out." He joked again, "The taste of death is probably like this."

Xie Lian listened, slightly stunned, the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he quickly pressed it down when he realized it, saying: "I am afraid that the halfling outside was swallowed by the mountain monster. The sound of punching the mountain we heard before should be He wanted to escape, and smashed it on the stone wall. Like the scorpion, he didn't swallow it completely, only half of it was swallowed." So the effect is extremely frightening. Huacheng Road: "But he is not the one who came with us this time."

Xie Lian suddenly remembered the messy hair and said: "Wait, I know who that is. I'm afraid it is Qiying!"

Huacheng seemed to think about it before he remembered, and said: "Oh, the curly hair. It's him."

Thanks for the pity: "I don't know if he has anything to do, is he fainted? I just saw that he has no response."

Huacheng Road: "It's okay, I fell asleep."

"..."

Thanks for the pity: "How did you know?"

Huacheng Road: "I left a few silver butterflies outside, and just sent it to fly over. My right eye can now see the situation outside."

As soon as the words fell, he said softly, "Huh?" He seemed to see something strange, and thanked him: "What's wrong outside?"

Huacheng did not speak, bowed his head slightly, gently lifted his chin, and placed the two foreheads against each other. Xie Lian opened his eyes, closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and said: "This is really... miraculous."

In his right eye, he actually saw a different picture from the one in front of him. Although it was dark, a rough outline could be seen clearly.

The silver butterfly that was monitoring the outside world seemed to be hiding in a pile of weeds, and at the bottom of the screen, a black figure was slowly approaching. Thanks for the pity: "Someone is here, I don't know who it is. Where is your silver butterfly hidden? Will it be discovered?"

Huacheng Road: "In his hair. Hidden light, will not be discovered."

The shadow finally got close enough to raise his face, his face pale.

Thanks for the pity: "Yinyu?"
