Chapter 171 Ma Rulong's broken arm
Ma Rulong's action caught the attention of all of us.
Because from the moment he roped us in, Ma Rulong gave the impression that he was very cunning, just like an old fox! And he never did it himself, usually letting men in suits do it for him.
Now he suddenly took the lead and started doing things so suddenly that Zhang Sanpao and I didn't know what to do, so we could only turn to the man in the suit for help.
The man in the suit obviously didn't expect that Ma Rulong would suddenly attack those lotus flowers, but he would not stop what Ma Rulong was going to do.
"Let me go, is this Ma Rulong crazy?" I said.
Just when we were thinking about Ma Rulong's purpose in doing this, the entire tomb passage suddenly began to shake with "bang" and "bang", and even the ice under our feet began to have cracks like spider webs.
Seeing this scene, I quickly held on to the wall.
Anyone who has seen an avalanche knows that when an avalanche comes, there is sound first and then movement. It is not like what is shown on TV, where all the heavy snow rolls down.
And the current situation indicates that the tomb passage in front of us is about to collapse.
Without thinking, I shouted loudly: "No, everyone, pay attention to your steps, the ice is starting to crack..."
Before I finished shouting, a shrill scream came from the front.
Hearing this scream, Zhang Sanpao's expression changed. He quickly grabbed the rope fixed in the tomb passage, regardless of whether the ice would crack, and crawled back like a mouse.
I was so frightened by the loud rumbling noises all around that I lost my mind. Seeing Zhang Sanpao crawling back, I also climbed up behind him, but I was quite curious as to who made that scream just now.
?So he quietly looked back.
Looking at it this way, I was almost stunned.
It's Ma Rulong!
The one who screamed was actually Ma Rulong, who was at the front of the team. Under the blazing firelight, I could clearly see the lotus flowers on the pile of corpses, releasing a curl of cold air.
The mountaineering pick that Ma Rulong chopped out was frozen instantly as soon as it touched the lotus. In almost a few tenths of a second, the entire mountaineering pick was covered with white frost.
Ma Rulong wanted to let go, but it was too late at this moment. The white frost condensed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing Ma Rulong's fingers in an instant.
Facing the warm fire, the white frost not only did not melt at all, but became thicker and thicker, and soon Ma Rulong's entire arm was frozen into a thick ice sculpture.
All around, in addition to Ma Rulong's shrill screams, there were also the sounds of "crackling" and "cracking" ice cubes condensing.
Oh my god, what kind of lotus is this?
How could a living person be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant?
Seeing that Ma Rulong was in danger, the man in a suit who was responsible for monitoring us no longer had the intention to care about us. He grabbed the rope around his waist and slid to Ma Rulong's side like a swing.
"Mr. Ma, what's wrong with you?" the man in the suit said anxiously.
But facing Ma Rulong like this, he didn't know what to do.
"Madman...quickly...just chop off my right hand." Ma Rulong said as he was dying. At this moment, his lips were turned purple from the cold, beads of sweat as big as soybeans fell like raindrops, and his teeth clenched.
Apparently he was trying his best to suppress his pain.
"No, how is this possible? Mr. Ma, if you endure it any longer, I will definitely rescue you safe and sound." The man in the suit tremblingly held Ma Rulong's back, his eyes were blood red and distressed.
He looked at Ma Rulong's arm that was frozen into ice.
"Mr. Ma, believe me, believe me!" At the end of this sentence, the man in the suit almost shouted.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the man in the suit was not so hateful. Although he was cruel and murderous, he was not a devil.
The devil has no emotions, but he has real feelings for Ma Rulong!
At the very least, he is a loyal person. Compared to many people in the tomb robbing world who would kill even the master's own father for treasure, the man in the suit is much more noble.
"No, it's too late, hurry up! Cut off my arm, this is an order." Ma Rulong's eyes widened and he shouted hysterically.
I found that those lotus flowers had no intention of stopping after freezing Ma Rulong's arm, and began to release cold air again, rapidly spreading towards Ma Rulong's shoulders.
If Ma Rulong hadn't cut off his wrist, I'm afraid he would have looked exactly like the corpses on the ground in an instant.
"Okay! Mr. Ma, please bear with me." The man in the suit also saw the power of those lotus flowers. With tears in his eyes, he tremblingly took out the paper knife from his waist.
Soon enough, just when the hoarfrost was about to cover Ma Rulong's shoulders, the man in the suit picked up a paper knife and cut it diagonally on Ma Rulong's shoulder. The knife was fast and accurate, and it only used one knife.
, and removed Ma Rulong's entire arm.
Ma Rulong was also a fierce man. His entire arm was chopped off and blood spurted everywhere. However, he just gritted his teeth and grunted, and did not faint on the spot.
Just when I was secretly praising Ma Rulong, Zhang Sanpao, who had climbed to the front, saw that I was no longer moving. He quickly turned around and shouted at me: "Li Dingdang, what the hell are you thinking! Why don't you run for your life."
I was almost stunned by the scene in front of me. Fortunately, Zhang Sanpao scolded me, and I realized that the ice under my feet was breaking more and more. The entire tomb passage was like being thrown into a large mixer, stirring back and forth.
With.
At this moment, I didn't have time to see Ma Rulong and the man in the suit. I didn't even care about Kathleen. I tightened the rope with all my strength and climbed back with all my strength.
But no matter how hard I climbed back, I couldn't resist the speed of the ice breaking. It took almost only five or six seconds for the ice under my feet to explode with a bang.
As the ice exploded, I could see clearly that there seemed to be hair-thick, broom-like roots squirming under the ice. As it advanced, the surrounding ice would be quickly destroyed.
Crushed.
Although I still don't know what it is, I know that as long as I am touched by that thing, the end is probably not much better than Ma Rulong.
Before I could figure out how to avoid these roots, I heard Zhang Sanpao shouting from above: "Quick, hang your body on the rope to avoid the ice under your feet."
Although my reaction has never been very sensitive, I obeyed Zhang Sanpao's reminder. Before those disgusting roots could touch my body, I twisted my waist and hung on the rope.
But at the moment when I was hanging on the rope, the hiking boots on my feet were covered with a layer of white frost, and then a biting chill penetrated the soles of my feet.
I was afraid that the hoarfrost on my boots would continue to spread, so I took out my paratrooper knife and poked at the boots, hoping to knock off the ice cubes.
Fortunately, after the ice broke away from the boots, it stopped spreading. I was so scared that I even threw away my paratrooper knife.
I'm afraid that I will become like Ma Rulong and cut off my hands and feet in order to survive.
After all the tossing just now, I was so tired that I couldn't exert any strength at all, so I could only hang on the rope and rest. While I was panting, I glanced at Ma Rulong again.
The scene just now was so damn thrilling, there wasn’t even a hint of warning. No one could have imagined that those beautiful lotus flowers would be murderous weapons entrenched in the tomb passage!
But then again, Zhang Sanpao's reaction this time really surprised me.
I guess he knew the meaning of the phrase "not touching the ice" from the beginning. The so-called ice did not refer to the ice at all, nor did it refer to the frozen corpses, but the strange lotus flowers all over the ground!
But he just didn't say anything. He kept a low profile and pretended to be dumbfounded all the way, just to wait for this opportunity.
