Chapter 508 Despair(1/2)
"Azu, what should we do now?" Pei Mianman no longer had his usual smile, but his face turned pale.
In fact, as a practitioner, death is not that scary.
But there are many ways to die. It's okay to be killed by someone who is not as skilled as a person, but to be bitten to death by a dense crowd of snakes is really unacceptable.
She now finally understood why there were no wounds on the skeletons she had observed before. They were obviously poisoned by these strange snakes. Their size meant that their teeth would not leave any big marks on the bones. After poisoning these people,
All the snakes burrowed into their corpses and gnawed their flesh to death...
Pei Mianman shuddered at the thought of many snakes inside his body, crawling in and out of his eye sockets.
Zu An's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment. If he could resist the densely packed monster snakes, they would definitely be no match for him, so he could only find another way.
However, they had already circled the entire pit and could not find an exit.
Actually, think about it, this big pit was obviously designed to kill these people. Not only did the surrounding walls be made extremely smooth and hard to prevent climbing, but a seal was also specially placed on it to prevent any fish from jumping out. So what?
Might there be a way to survive?
Zu An couldn't help but feel a little desperate. Why did he accidentally fall into this pit at that time?
Hey, wait a minute, that seal didn't exist when we fell. It can't be that the seal is the kind of thing that allows people to come in but not come out. It shouldn't be so advanced.
His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. The four walls were all straight, but he was very sure that he passed a slope when he fell. Even though the slope was very steep, it was by no means vertical.
"Azu?" Pei Mianman on the side saw Zu An in a daze and called him while using black fire to repel the strange snake that rushed nearby.
Zu An came to his senses and hurriedly said to Pei Mianman: "Let's go back quickly."
"Go back? Back to where?" Pei Mianman was a little confused.
Zu An replied: "Go back to the place where we first fell. There should be an exit there."
Pei Mianman said hurriedly: "But we just took a look. It is surrounded by straight and hard walls, and there is no exit."
Just because they couldn't find an exit around there, they thought of looking elsewhere. Now they have crossed the distance of several football fields. If they go back, they will be full of weird snakes.
Zu An quickly explained: "Many times what we see may not be real. Maybe there are some mechanisms or illusions around us that make us mistakenly think it is a wall."
Pei Mianman was still confused: "But we have checked the surroundings and there is no mechanism."
She is not stupid, but rather smart. Otherwise, she would not be the best among her peers at such a young age. Before she left, she checked the surrounding walls to confirm that there were no traps.
Zu An replied: "We just checked the section closest to the ground. What if the mechanism is on the wall in mid-air?"
He pulled Pei Mianman back and swung his sword to cut off the strange snake that came close to him, while continuing to analyze: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the contradiction here. Since there is this seal on it, why are you still destroying the wall?
It’s so smooth and hard that it’s impossible to climb?”
"Huh?" Pei Mianman subconsciously thought that the seal was for experts, and the smooth wall was for ordinary people, but now that there is a seal, designing the wall like this is completely unnecessary.
Zu An quickly said: "We have checked before and there are no traces of being tied up in the postures of these people before they were born, so they should be able to try to escape from this place at any time. If they are put in and then sealed, what if these people take advantage of that gap?"
It would be very troublesome to escape, so most of the time we should seal it first."
"Then there's a problem. Once the seals are done, how can we let them in? Obviously there is another channel specifically for sending people in. When people are sent in, they are probably stunned, so
I didn’t even know this channel existed.”
Pei Mianman immediately questioned: "In this case, we can also knock these people in first and then seal them calmly, so we don't have to worry about them escaping."
"There are three reasons!" Zu An explained. "First, there are too many bones down here. It would be too much work to get them all at once. Moreover, I just observed along the way that these bones are also different. They are not uniform.
They are distributed at the bottom of the pit, but in groups, with a certain distance between each other. Obviously these groups do not know each other yet. We accidentally stepped on some bones while running just now, some are still very hard, and some are still very hard.
The latter is much pinker, and obviously the latter has been stored for a longer period of time."
"Secondly, if I were the decision-maker for a huge pit with such a large amount of work, I would never be willing to use it as a one-time item. It would definitely have to be used repeatedly for a long time. This would create the possibility of the secret passage I just mentioned.
"
"Third, and most importantly, we were conscious when we fell into the pit just now. We must have rolled over a huge slope. This is also the basis for my inference."
Pei Mianman heard a pair of beautiful eyes. She was already in despair, but now after listening to his analysis, she suddenly felt that the future was bright. Although she had not seen the existence of the secret passage with her own eyes, she had obviously believed it.
: "Azu, you are really amazing!"
Being praised by such a sweet-sounding girl with adoring eyes, Zu An's head couldn't help but heat up: "I'm already great, don't fall in love with me all of a sudden."
"Bah, stinky!" Pei Mianman spat with a peach blossom look on his face, still quite impressed in his heart. This guy seems to be able to maintain an optimistic attitude at all times, and can also infect the people around him, giving people a sense of security.
.
However, the two of them soon ran out of energy to talk. On the way back, there were more and more strange snakes, making it even impossible to stop.
Fortunately at first, Pei Mianman could use the black flames, but those strange snakes were a little afraid of the flames and did not dare to get too close.
But Pei Mianman was seriously injured after all and could not maintain the black flame continuously. He had to rest for a long time before igniting it again.
Zu An could only wave the long sword in his hand to clean up the strange snakes along the way. Fortunately, his "evil-proof sword technique" did not consume much vitality, and at the same time, it
The straight-forward play style is very suitable for the current situation where there are enemies everywhere.
But his "Sunflower Phantom" movement technique is of no use. The main function of this movement technique is to dodge enemies, but now that there are strange snakes everywhere, it is impossible to dodge.
Looking at the densely packed strange snakes on the ground, Zu An could only point his toes on the bones to use his strength to move around. However, he was almost bitten by the strange snakes hidden in the bones several times. If he hadn't reacted quickly and Pei Mianman hadn't
He used black flames several times to save him, but he was already dead on the spot.
Forced into desperation, Zu An invented another method, which was to jump directly to the wall next to him. Although the wall was smooth and difficult to rely on, he could directly insert it with the Tai'a sword and the death dagger in turn.
No matter how hard the wall is, it won't be enough in front of the Tai'a sword and the fatal dagger, which are as sharp as clay.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, patted Pei Mianman hanging in his arms and said, "This way, we finally don't have to be as dangerous as down there."
He planned to take turns inserting the two swords and return step by step to the position where he fell from the beginning.
Pei Mianman hummed and her face turned a little red. Now her arms were hooked around the man's neck, and her whole body was pressed tightly into his arms. She could feel the heat coming from each other's skin through their clothes. No matter how bold she was on weekdays,
, I feel a little shy and embarrassed now.
Zu An also felt a little uncomfortable. Smelling the fragrance of the beauty in his arms and the magnificent softness on his chest, he felt a little warm all over. The huge pit that was originally full of dangers seemed not as annoying as it was at the beginning...
At this moment, he suddenly felt the beauty in his arms slowly sliding down. He couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly released a hand to hold her thigh: "Manman, don't let go, it will be troublesome if you fall."
Already."
Now those strange snakes were gathered under the two of them, each with their necks raised, looking directly at the two of them with their single upright eyes, hissing and spitting out words, which looked extremely scary.
Pei Mianman bit his lip and felt embarrassed: "I'm so weak that I can't hold on."
Where is this guy putting his hands?
But she also knew that the other party was trying to save her, so she didn't say anything.
"Then wrap your legs around my waist. It will be more stable." Zu An said as he lifted her legs and put them on his waist.
"I don't want it!" Pei Mianman refused hastily. Even though she was an inexperienced little girl, she knew that this gesture was quite indecent and she couldn't stand it.
Zu An was also sweating: "Sister, this is not because I want to take advantage of you. Now I have to insert my hands back and forth on the wall to move forward. If I hold you with one hand, I can only hang in place.
Moved."
Pei Mianman looked up and could already see the veins on his arm holding the sword bulging out, obviously bearing a lot of weight. She was not the kind of hypocritical person. Although she was a little embarrassed, thinking about the current situation
Still agreed: "Okay, but you are not allowed to tell Chu Yan about this, no, you are not allowed to tell anyone."
Zu An was confused: "Why should I tell her to do this kind of thing?"
Pei Mianman breathed a sigh of relief, bit his red lips, hooked his neck with his hands, tried hard to lift his legs and clamped them around his waist, hanging in his arms like a sloth.
Feeling the other's masculine aura, the two of them were now in very close physical contact. Pei Mianman, who had always been fiery and loved joking, became a little shy. She buried her head on his chest, trembling slightly, and did not dare to say another word.
Even though Zu An had no evil thoughts at first, seeing how sensitive her body was, he couldn't help but feel a trepidation in his heart.
However, the hissing sounds of the strange snakes around him brought him back to reality, and he realized that the danger was not over yet.
He hurriedly stretched out a hand, holding the fatal dagger and was about to move forward, when suddenly several rays of blue light came over him.
The hair on his body suddenly exploded, and he quickly raised his knife and shot down those blue lights. He had already seen that the strange snake that was shooting at him was that kind of snake.
I saw those strange snakes on the ground coiling themselves one by one, and then suddenly ejected, flying directly towards the two people in mid-air.
While Zu An blocked with his dagger, he was secretly grateful. Fortunately, he hadn't stabbed the sword into the wall and left. Otherwise, both hands would have been stuck on the wall at that moment, and there would be no counterattack at all.
And now that he was in mid-air, the number of strange snakes that could be shot up were far less than those on the ground, so he could barely cope with them.
It's a pity that he can't feel happy at all. Now that he is entangled by these strange snakes, he can only defend with all his strength and cannot move at all.
Pei Mianman also saw his predicament and said hurriedly: "Give me some time. When I recover a little, I will use black fire to help you, and you can take the opportunity to move forward."
"Okay!" At this point, only the two of them could work together. Zu An concentrated on chopping up the strange snake that shot up.
After about five minutes, Pei Mianman finally spoke: "I can barely use the black flame now, but it can only last for three breaths. You should seize the time and move forward as quickly as possible, and at the same time, make sure to enter the defense immediately after the time is up.
state."
"Okay!" Zu An nodded, then concentrated on preparations.
Pei Mianman thought for a while, took out a pendant from his neck and put it around his neck: "Put this on."
Zu An was stunned: "What is this?" He had actually noticed a red rope hanging around the other person's neck, but the thing tied underneath had been buried deep in the ditch on her chest, and he had no idea what it was.
