Chapter 175 The end of the chain
When he touched the chain facing the stone platform, the master slowly spread his frown and turned to us and said, "Let's walk along this iron chain."
Huang Changsheng wanted to climb the chain at that time, but his master grabbed him: "The evil spirit in front is very heavy, you go to the back."
After that, the master stuffed me the bag with the green steel sword and said to Liang Houzai and me: "Youdao takes the lead, Houzai, come to the palace."
The master seemed a little worried about Houzai, and said to Houzai again: "Don't look down at your eyes."
When the master was speaking, I took a special look at the expression on the master's face. At that time, the master's expression was very serious, and there seemed to be a bit decisive in his eyes.
I don't know why Master is like this.
Liang Houzai looked at the abyss under the stone platform, and his whole body trembled slightly, but after he raised his head, he still said "hmm" to my master and took the responsibility of the palace behind him.
The master smiled with some relief. He patted Liang Houzai on the shoulder, and then said to me: "Don't stand there, hurry up."
I carried the green steel sword behind my back and climbed onto the thick chain. The lock ring and the lock ring were stuck together by thick copper rust. After I climbed up, the lock rings did not slide and sway as I imagined. The entire chain almost turned into a stable narrow bridge.
The only thing I worry about now is that these bronze lock rings that have been corroded for many years cannot withstand the weight of seven people at the same time.
I climbed forward a distance along the chain. Although the chain was very stable, the strong wind blowing from the abyss made it difficult to stabilize the center of gravity. I could only lie on the chain to ensure that I did not fall.
What makes me most uncomfortable is the extremely heavy smell of blood in the wind. The smell strongly stimulates my nerves and makes me feel dizzy.
After I crawled forward for nearly twenty meters, Huang Changsheng also climbed onto the chain, followed by Huang Yulian, the old man, my master, Huang Changrong, Liu Shangang, and finally Liang Houzai.
When I looked towards Liang Houzai, I saw Liang Houzai holding the chain tightly, his whole body trembling.
I was particularly worried that he would fall down accidentally.
But at this moment, the master urged me: "Go away!"
I looked at my master and looked at Liang Houzai again. Liang Houzai actually raised his head and gave me a big smile.
I gritted my teeth and turned around and continued to climb forward.
Although the bronze chain temporarily held the weight of the seven of us, I still have to be very careful. Any action that is too big may cause the chain that becomes very fragile due to corruption to suddenly collapse.
When I crawled over the chains, I could hear a slight cracking sound from the chains. The sound was very weak, but in such a situation, it seemed extremely harsh.
This chain that can cross the abyss is amazing in length, and we crawled for a long time but still couldn't see its end.
The wind blowing from the bottom of the abyss became more and more fierce. The copper rust on the chain was lifted up by the wind and rushed into my eyes and nose. I could only free up one hand to cover my nose and narrow my eyes into a slit.
The wind roared, but the cracking sound from the chain was clearer than before. At this time, I could already feel the entire chain shaking slightly.
The current position we are in is probably the middle section of the chain, which is the most fragile place of the entire chain. If you are not careful, everyone may fall into the abyss.
I put my already light movements a little slower, and at the same time I grabbed the lock ring under my body with my hands and climbed forward carefully.
After climbing through the middle of the chain, the wind became smaller, but I felt a lot of yin and corpse energy coming from the front. A few slight dry retching sounds came from Huang Changsheng behind me, and the yarrow in the candy began to work.
But this time I didn't feel the bitter smell. A cold air came from the black water corpse coffin behind me, blocking the yin energy and corpse energy outside me.
After a long time, the white light of the headlight finally shone at the end of the chain, and a narrow stone platform was also connected to the end of the chain. However, the hole behind the stone platform was much spacious than the "dog hole" we walked through before.
The only link to the stone platform in front is the chain under us. Looking to both sides, the place where the eyes reach is dark, and I don’t know where the other eight chains lead.
After getting off the chain, I took a special look at Liang Houzai. Tears were already shining in his eyes. I knew he was almost at his limit.
After Huang Changsheng got on the stone platform, he met with me to meet the remaining people. When Huang Changsheng pulled Liang Houzai to the stone platform, a crisp "click" suddenly came from the direction of the chain.
The sound was far away from us and I didn't hear it very clearly.
But at the next moment, the chain suddenly broke from a far distance, and the heavy lock body whipped on the stone wall of the abyss, making a loud clang under our feet.
Liang Houzai looked at the falling chain, and his face turned pale. I saw his legs weak and his whole body fell towards the abyss. He quickly reached out and pulled him back. When my fingers touched his arm, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.
In fact, it was not just Liang Houzai, but everyone present had a pale face, which was too dangerous. If we walked onto this stone platform one step later, it would be more than that chain that fell now.
Among all the people, my master was the most calm. His face was not good-looking, but his expression was still very calm. He walked to the entrance of the cave and looked inside. It was pitch black inside. With the light, he could only see the cave wall within four or five meters.
The master waved at me and signaled me to go in first.
I calmed down and walked into the entrance of the hole. The height of the hole was nearly two meters. I could walk upright inside, but because the top of the hole was uneven, some places could still rub against my scalp. In addition, the hole was wide and narrow, so I often had to sideways along the way.
Fortunately, the cave was not too long. After a few minutes, I left the hole at the other end and came to a large and wide space.
The corpse gas became more intense in this place, and the air emitted a pungent stench. Fortunately, the corpse gas was thick and not strong. Even if there were evil corpses in front of them, it would not be difficult to deal with.
This time, the master walked behind me instead of Huang Changsheng. After I got out of the cave, the master blocked the people behind and told them not to move rashly for now.
Then the master came to me and said to me, "Let's go in and take a look first."
After saying that, the master turned off the lamp on his head and greeted Xian'er again: "Little fox ghost, borrow your fox lamp."
Xian'er immediately crawled out of my shoulder and rolled her eyes at my master: "Why do you always call me a little fox ghost? I don't have a name?"
Although the tone on her mouth was angry, she grabbed a lantern from my chest while talking. I have seen this lantern many times when I was a child. It was just a piece of wood chips and paper that was randomly pasted into the shape of a lantern, and the wick was flashing with green flames.
But I remember that Xian'er had thrown the lantern to deal with the snake spirit. Why did it appear in my body again?
After Xian'er came out of my body, she blew a breath towards the lantern. The flame inside suddenly became vigorous, and the soft light of fire suddenly illuminated the entire space.
It was only then that I could see clearly that the space we were in was a tomb, which was about the same size as the classroom in the school. At the end of the tomb, there was a coffin. Every corner of the tomb reflected the green of the fox fire, but the coffin looked pitch black, and there was a trace of metallic luster on it.
I suddenly felt that the scene in front of me looked very familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while.
At this time, the master frowned and said, "The corpse gas was not emitted from the coffin."
I also felt that the source of the corpse gas was in the direction of our right hand, while the coffin was directly in front of us.
My master and I looked to the right side of the tomb almost at the same time, and we saw three piles of gravel in the corner of the tomb, standing there like a tomb. There was also a talisman on the top of the pile. It was old and the talisman paper looked very worn out, and even the talisman seal on it became incomplete due to corrosion.
These three talismans may have lost their effect.
The master gave me a look, and I immediately understood what my master meant. I quickly walked to one of the piles of stones and used the green steel sword to clear the gravels.
As expected, the thing pressed into the pile of stones was the evil corpse. The body was covered with long black hair like steel needles, and it seemed that the corpse had turned into a black zombie.
This evil corpse is alive. When I saw it, its sight was constantly switching between me and my master. Perhaps because I had not acted for too long, the zombie's body is very stiff now. In addition to being able to move its eyes, it will not be able to get out of the corpse for a while.
I used the green steel sword to cut off the hard hair on the black zombie's chest, then pulled it out of the pile of stones, and pushed it with my back. The black water corpse coffin instantly transformed from the corpse energy on the evil corpse. When I kept it on the ground, it had turned into an ordinary corpse, and the pungent rotten smell was emitted from the whole body.
However, this smell is at least better than the strong corpse scent on the evil corpse.
After that, I dealt with the other evil corpse in the pile of stones in the same way. Among the three evil corpses, two were black zombies, and one was the most ordinary purple zombie. The purple zombie was wearing a python robe. Among the piles where the stones were buried, there was also a red official hat in the shape of a straw hat.
The master waved toward the entrance of the cave first and asked everyone to come in, then came to me, looked at Zi Zan's body, and frowned.
After Liu Shangang came in, he ran straight to Xian'er and stared at the fox fire lantern in Xian'er's hand with a look of astonishment.
I reached out and patted him, and asked him, "What are you doing?"
Liu Shangang pointed at the lantern and looked at me with a very surprised expression and said, "Brother Dao, can you even bring out ghost fire now?"
Xian'er "cuts" and said to Liu Shangang: "The local buns who have never seen the world are fussy."
