Chapter 147 [Crossing the Soul Bridge] (1)
The sparrow finally couldn't help but feel curious. She fired the lighter. The moment the flames bloomed, she saw the soul-summing banner hanging around her, so scared that the sparrow threw out the lighter in her hand and fell onto the bridge deck. What they unexpectedly expected was that when the bridge deck encountered the flames, it burned. The flames quickly rose to the soul-summing banners inserted on both sides of the bridge deck, and the fire spread at an astonishing speed.
After the soul-summoning banner was ignited, the fire expanded at an astonishing speed. The bridge deck behind him had turned into a fire dragon, chasing them frantically.
They had just run to the middle of the bridge, but they saw that the bridge deck in front was already burning. It was no longer possible to reach the opposite side through the long bridge. The blind man saw that the river surface had not been affected by flames and shouted, "Let's go here." The blind man jumped down from the bridge first, and then reached out to take Luo Lie from Arnold, who was still in a coma.
The sparrow didn't expect that her unintentional mistake would cause such a big disaster. She jumped onto the river surface and looked down with the burning fire of the long bridge. She was seeing frightened and desperate faces under the ice surface. The dead souls that had been frozen under the ice for more than a hundred years seemed to break out of the ice at any time. The sparrow screamed in fear, making her legs weak and could hardly move her feet.
The blind man shouted, "Go quickly!" He carried Luo Lie on his back and ran forward on the ice. Arnold, who finally jumped down, grabbed the sparrow's arm, and dragged the terrified sparrow to follow the blind man's footsteps. The fire on the long bridge continued to expand, and the fire illuminated the two sides of the frozen river. The two banks were filled with soul-summoning banners, and the fire spread rapidly along the soul-summoning banners, and the two sides of the river were full of fire.
Their way to get ashore was blocked by the fire, and they could only continue on the river surface. The fire had expanded to the top along the soul-summoning banner. The sparrow looked up and saw more than ten coffins hanging more than twenty meters ahead of them. The fire had spread there through the soul-summoning banner, lit the ropes that tied the hanging coffin. After the ropes broke, the hanging coffin fell one after another from the air, smashing the ice surface.
Arnold cried out in secretly, and he wondered if the bottom of the ice surface of the river had frozen. If there was water under the ice surface, the impact of the hanging coffin would cause large-scale ice cracks, and they would be worried about falling into the water.
The blind man slowed down, but saw a hanging coffin hitting apart not far away, and an inflatable and deformed corpse rolled out from it. The body was twice as big as an ordinary person. The blind man always thought that his face was big enough, but compared with the corpse in front of him, it was obviously a witch.
Originally, there was nothing to be afraid of when a dead person was, but the belly of the corpse suddenly bulged. The blind man thought he was wrong and blinked, be sure that everything was happening, and realized that something was wrong. Although he had done a lot of things to pretend to be a ghost in the past, he had never really encountered a ghost. In addition, he had heard that Luo Lie instilled a lot of atheistic knowledge and was greatly influenced. The blind man told himself in his heart that there would never be any ghost.
Arnold also noticed the change in the corpse and said in surprise: "Damn, his belly is big..." Before he could finish his words, he heard a sound from Peng, and the corpse actually exploded.
A ball of black stuff surged out from the corpse's cracked abdomen. At first glance, it seemed like it was a rotten and deteriorating organ, but when you looked closely, it was a black corpse worm the size of a fist, gushing out like a tide, and then quickly approached them along the ice.
Arnold was so scared that he was scattered: "Run quickly..."
The fire continued to spread, and the coffin hanging above kept falling on the ice. The black corpse worms gathered more and more, and thousands of corpse worms covered the river, chasing the four fresh humans ahead with all their might.
The blind man was not able to run at the speed of his own, but now he was greatly affected by Luo Lie's back. Arnold shook his long legs and ran quickly, but after a while, he remembered his companions behind him. He gritted his teeth, slowed down, pulled out a shotgun from behind, aiming at the front of the corpse insect swarm. The shotgun was quite powerful. He hit the corpse insect swarm, and the firepower spread to the range of the corpse. The corpse insects behind him immediately surged up and gnawed on the same corpse.
However, Arnold's shot was not very effective, and the corpse worms continued one after another, and their speed was not reduced. They are now suffering from no grenades, and it is difficult to deal with so many corpse worms with their weapons alone.
The sparrow followed the blind man to cover up. Arnold watched the corpse worm get closer and closer. He wanted to shoot another shot, but his eyes fell on the ice. He suddenly changed his mind. He aimed at the corpse under the ice and shot a big hole in the ice surface, exposing the corpse under the ice surface.
The corpse insects crawled into the gun hole one after another, scrambling to gnaw the corpse under the ice. The corpse exposed by Arnold's shooting became the bait to temporarily attract the corpse insect swarm.
Arnold was already scared and sweating all over. If he hadn't been quick to make a fool of himself and diverted the corpse insects' attention, he might have been surrounded by corpse insects now.
They returned to the side of the long bridge, which has now completely burned.
The blind man placed Luo Lie flat on the ice and pushed him out vigorously. Luo Lie's body slid along the ice surface and went to the other side of the long bridge through the burning bridge hole. The blind man and the sparrow also drilled under the bridge hole one after another.
Arnold looked back while escaping, and the corpse insects reorganized their formation and chased him. Arnold screamed, and a fish jumped forward and passed under the burning bridge hole.
The blind man shouted, "Golden Retriever, aim at the middle pier to shoot."
Although the long bridge was all burning, it still did not collapse. Only the collapse of the bridge could prevent the corpse worms from passing through. All three of them took out their weapons and aimed at the piers in the middle to shoot. For a moment, wood chips flew around, but the piers were extremely solid and still not broken.
The corpse insect swarmed to the opposite side of the long bridge like black running water, changing formations to try to pass under the bridge hole.
The blind man and the sparrow each held up one of Luo Lie's arms and pulled him to slide on the ice. Arnold shot another shot at the bridge pier with some reluctance. The shot still failed. The vanguard of the corpse worm had successfully passed through the bridge hole.
The blind man shouted, "Golden Retriever, run away!"
Arnold responded and strode after him. Suddenly, the sound of collapse came from behind him. However, the long bridge finally collapsed under the burning of fire. The bridge fell on the ice like a fire dragon. The flames blocked the ice surface. The corpse insects that had just entered the bottom of the bridge were immediately buried in the sea of fire. The corpse insects that had just entered the bottom of the bridge were blocked from the other side.
The more than a hundred corpse insects that successfully passed through Changqiao gave up their pursuit because Changqiao melted the ice surface due to fire, and many corpses sealed under the ice were exposed, attracting the attention of the corpse insects.
The blind man and the sparrow looked back and were sure that the corpse insects had stopped chasing them, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Arnold rushed up from behind panting, and said in a suffocation: "Hurry... go quickly... they will come after they finish eating..."
The sparrow pointed to the gap on the shore on the right: "There is no fire."
The blind man nodded, took a deep breath, and tried hard to pick up Luo Lie. They quickly walked up the river bank. The sparrow reminded himself to calm down and try to recall the marks on the map. The river had marks on the map. If she remembered correctly, it was not far from the flood discharge path below the Fuhai Sea. But she had lost her direction and could not tell the direction for a while. The sparrow said: "Where is the northwest?"
The blind man handed Luo Lie to Arnold, took out a golden compass from his arms, and accidentally brought out a gem necklace. Arnold almost glared out his eyes. When the blind man threw away the bag of jewelry just now, he was moved by his noble personality and sincere comradeship friendship. Under his inspiration, he threw away all the treasures he picked up. Unexpectedly, this guy could not change his shit and actually hid so many private goods.
The blind man felt no guilt at all. He picked up the necklace from the ground and hung it directly around his neck. Then he picked up the compass and looked at it, then identified the direction and pointed.
Sparrow said: "It should be walking here. According to the map marks, there should be a waterway here."
The blind man said, "Is this river? It's frozen."
The sparrow shook his head, and the direction was obviously wrong.
The blind man said, "I will lead the way!"
Arnold said with resentment: "There are fire everywhere, we can see clearly."
The blind man looked at him, but saw Arnold holding Luo Lie, his eyes staring like a copper bell. The blind man knew why he was angry and laughed and said, "You can carry it for a while, I'll take a break and I'll change you."
Arnold said angrily: "How can you be so shameless in life?"
The blind man pretended not to hear it, pretended to remind his companion: "Go away quickly, if the corpse worm comes after you, it will be troublesome."
Although Arnold was full of resentment, he knew that it was not the time to settle accounts with the blind man, and the blind man didn't force him to throw away those treasures. After thinking about it, he was just blamed for being too simple. People like him were the ones who suffered losses in this world.
Luo Lie reacted at this moment. In a trance, he felt as if he was lying on a swaying boat. He opened his eyes and saw fires everywhere around him. He thought he was in a dream. He coughed and alarmed the sparrow beside him. The sparrow cried with joy: "Luo Lie, Luo Lie, are you awake?"
Luo Lie nodded, not knowing where he was, nor what happened during the period when he was unconscious, but he knew one thing that they still couldn't walk out from the ground. He patted Arnold's shoulder and signaled him to put him down. The blind man came over to look at Luo Lie's back. Seeing that the darkening of his skin was wider, he said with concern: "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
