The distance of tens of meters was approaching in an instant, and the cliffs that were not clearly visible before gradually became clear, and Si Yueru's heart sank to the bottom.
Within Si Yueru's sight, there was a bare cliff. Don't tell me, there weren't even any vines or vines for her to climb.
With no way out in front and troops chasing behind us, the situation is really getting worse.
Si Yue accelerated like a slant, no longer facing the cliff directly, but rushed towards the cliff at an angle of more than 30 degrees. Behind her, there was a black mass of armored figurines.
In the last few steps, Si Yue stepped on the cliff like a run-up, leaped into the air, and completed a turn in the air.
Almost at the same time, the halberd swept past Si Yueru with a strong wind. The armored figurines chasing behind him had already caught up.
With a strong kick of the foot on the cliff, Si Yueru's body in mid-air flew forward, flying more than one meter away, and landed on the head of the first human figurine.
Before it could raise its halberd and swing it towards her, Si Yueru stepped hard on the arm of the figurine holding the halberd with one foot, stomping it to a halt. At the same time, she took back the other foot that had just stepped towards the cliff.
Kicked the figurine hard on the faceplate.
The human figurine was kicked by Si Yueru with her entire body weight. It was kicked backwards for more than half a meter, knocking down three or four human figurines following it, causing a small chaos.
.
Si Yueru also used this force to jump two or three meters in the opposite direction.
As soon as he landed, Si Yueru didn't hesitate for a moment, leaned down to avoid a spear thrust from the side, and started running wildly again.
After going around half a circle, she still couldn't find the exit. Si Yueru was so tired that her feet were weak and her speed had obviously slowed down. She looked back at the human figurines chasing after her. Let alone gasping for breath, these dead creatures couldn't even move fast.
Not a minute slower.
Fortunately, this group of human figurines has no intelligence at all and does not understand the principle of dividing troops and intercepting them. After this small circle, originally they came down from the palace to chase Si Yueru, but now they have turned into Si Yueru fleeing to the palace. They
It's all behind her.
When she ran to the side of the lowest platform, Si Yueru didn't go around to the front and climbed up the steps. Instead, she put her hands on the edge of the platform and jumped up with a little effort.
When Si Yueru rushed to the main entrance of the palace in two or three steps, the group of armored figurines had just walked around to the bottom of the palace, still three steps away from Si Yueru.
Under the steps, a group of dark figures were rushing up the steps, as if they were filming a grand costume blockbuster. However, Si Yueru, who was here, was really not in a good mood to appreciate the scene in front of her that was comparable to a blockbuster.
Without enough time to take a breath, Si Yueru was about to push open the palace door, but the door suddenly opened from the inside. Two figures jumped out from the gap in the door and almost collided with Si Yueru.
Si Yueru stepped aside in time and quickly reached out to pull the two people to prevent them from running into the group of human figurines below.
Those who rushed out from the palace door were none other than Fangyuan and Huang Qiuding.
"Eh? Yueru, why are you here...uh, they, what are they?" Fang Yuan gasped, looked up and saw Si Yueru, and asked in surprise. But he stopped mid-sentence.
, he had already seen the army of human figurines swarming up.
"There is no time to explain. Let's go quickly. We will be dead when they come up." Si Yueru responded hastily, took their hands and wanted to enter the palace.
Unexpectedly, Fangyuan grabbed Si Yueru's hand and stopped Si Yueru's intention. She said in horror: "You can't go in."
, behind us is the thousand-year-old corpse chasing us."
"What?" Si Yueru lost her temper immediately. On one side were nearly a hundred armored figurines, and on the other side the owner of the tomb came in person, "Can this luck be any better?"
Within a few words, the group of human figurines at the bottom of the steps had already rushed up to the last step. They raised their weapons and were about to charge at the three people standing outside the palace door.
At the critical moment, Huang Qiuding's words suddenly rang in her ears. Si Yueru turned around and saw that she opened a wooden box, threw all the gray powder inside towards the oncoming human figurines, and then waved her hands from time to time to throw them away.
The poisonous insects on his body were thrown out quickly.
As the last syllable fell to the ground, the bodies of the thirty or forty armored figurines rushing at the front suddenly stiffened, and the steps were immediately blocked. The human figurines following behind couldn't close their legs in time, and they all bumped into the front figurines.
on the body.
Although the steps were not small, they could not accommodate nearly a hundred human figurines. In the chaos, nearly half of the human figurines on the steps fell to the bottom of the platform.
"Great! I really have you!" Si Yueru slapped her thigh, "Why did I forget that you also have the ability to control the corpse Gu."
"Qiu Ding, work harder and control the remaining human figurines." Si Yueru said quickly.
"We can only control so much." Huang Qiuding shook his head helplessly, pointing to the small cloth bag on his body and said, "I have used all the corpse-controlling Gu brought from Miao territory, and there is no way to replenish the poison now."
"Then let these human figurines block the steps and block the rest." Si Yueru could only settle for the next best thing.
Huang Qiuding nodded and stopped talking, concentrating on controlling the figurines.
"Fangyuan, what's going on behind you? How did you encounter a thousand-year-old corpse?" Si Yueru turned to ask Fangyuan. The only way out was behind the palace gate, but this thousand-year-old corpse was a huge obstacle.
"After we ran out of the cave, we ran around in order to get rid of the four corpse-turned-yin women. For some reason, the thousand-year-old corpse appeared, and then it kept chasing us." Fangyuan.
As he said that, he looked back at the palace door, obviously still frightened by the experience on the way.
"Fortunately, Qiu Ding is here. We were almost overtaken by it several times, but she used her Gu insects to temporarily resist it. Otherwise, we would have died long ago."
"What can we do? People are blocking us in front and back." Si Yueru couldn't help but frown and glanced at the situation on the steps.
The controlled human figurines were able to withstand the impact of the remaining human figurines for the time being, but large beads of sweat began to roll down Huang Qiuding's face. Obviously, it was definitely not easy to control thirty or forty human figurines at the same time.
things.
At this moment, Si Yueru felt that her arms were empty, and something fell out from the hem of her clothes and fell to the ground with a thud.
Si Yueru looked down and saw that the copper box had fallen to the ground. The lid had been opened during the fall, and two things fell out.
"What is this?" Fangyuan knelt down and picked up the things that fell out of the copper box.
One of them is a piece of parchment, which seems to have been treated with special anti-corrosion and moisture-proof techniques. Although it has been used for thousands of years, it has not decayed at all.
The other thing is a bit weird. It is about the size of half a hand. It looks like the skull of some kind of bird, but the surface is densely engraved with inscriptions of small nymphs. The light is dim and it is difficult to see the inscription clearly.
What is.
"Where did this come from?" Fangyuan handed the parchment to Si Yueru. He held the bird's skull and brought it under his eyes, carefully observing the inscriptions on it.
"There are white bones on the steps below. This copper box was found from its arms. There are also blood letters on the ground beside it. However, I haven't done much research on Chu characters during the Warring States period. Most of the characters can't be recognized.
."
While answering Fangyuan's question, Si Yueru opened the parchment and saw some simple graphics drawn on it, "It looks like... a map?"
It’s not surprising to recognize it as a map, because there is a black line drawn from one side of the parchment, and it ends abruptly after reaching a square-like pattern. Apparently, this is because the intruder from the previous life died in the palace.
On the platform at the door.
"This intruder does not look like an ordinary tomb robber. This simple map itself explains a lot. Someone came out of this underground tomb alive and drew the terrain into a map. Finally, this intruder
I'm afraid I didn't come in with the picture just to see the strange things in the tomb." Si Yueru analyzed.
"Who is he and what is his purpose here?" Countless mysteries filled Si Yueru's heart.
Si Yueru raised her head, looked at the silent palace in front of her, and thought to herself: "What kind of secrets are hidden in this tomb full of murderous intent?"
"Yueru, I can't hold on anymore." Huang Qiuding's slightly urgent voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Si Yueru's thoughts.
Si Yueru looked up and saw that Huang Qiuding's little face was covered with sweat, and a few strands of wet hair were stuck to her cheeks. She was almost using up her strength to feed.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Bang-"
Before they could react, the palace door suddenly opened automatically without wind and slammed inward. Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a strong smell of corpses, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the palace and headed towards the human figurines who were struggling to control it.
Huang Qiuding rushed over.
This Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway is none other than a thousand-year-old corpse.
Si Yueru reacted quickly and kicked the ground. She rushed forward for a few steps like a cannonball. Then she fell sideways and slid across the ground, catching up with the figure of the thousand-year-old corpse.
Si Yueru was half a body behind it, and her hands could no longer reach it to hold it. In a hurry, she straightened her waist, kicked her feet against the waist of the ancient corpse, and lifted it up.
More than half a foot tall.
The sharp fingertips of the ancient corpse grazed the back of Huang Qiuding's head and only picked up a few hairs.
"Qiu Ding, come back quickly, don't worry about those human figurines." Si Yueru shouted loudly.
Hearing Si Yueru's cry, Huang Qiuding moved his hands forward, and controlled the thirty or forty human figurines to rush down the steps, and immediately threw all the human figurines in front of him to the ground.
The entire steps were in a mess, and no human figurines could rush up for the time being. The thousand-year-old corpse was sent off the platform by Si Yueru, and no trace of it was seen for a while.
After doing all this, Huang Qiuding turned around and ran back, pulling Si Yueru up from the ground. As for Fangyuan, he had already taken the opportunity to get into the palace and closed the two doors, leaving only a crack.
Si Yueru and Huang Qiuding went in.
"Close the door quickly!" Si Yueru followed closely behind Huang Qiuding and rushed into the palace door.
Looking up, there was nothing in the palace, except for a screen wall standing in the middle. There was a passage diagonally downward into the ground on both sides of the screen wall. Behind the screen wall, there seemed to be an entrance leading directly to the mountain.
