I used up all the bandages I was carrying, and then I barely bandaged the wounds.
Xiaojie leaned against a corner of the wall with a pale face, and it rained badly outside the ruins.
"This, do you want to eat it now?" Ed picked up Rodell's herbs. "But do you need to add something else? Well, let's put it in the bag first." He was talking to himself while flipping through the backpack. "I don't know if I can call out now."
"Oh, there's no signal."
"Wait for me to rest for a while, and we'll leave here."
"Are you okay?" Ed turned to look at Xiaojie.
Looking at the continuous rain outside, Xiaojie frowned: "The rainy season is the easiest to dilute the smell, so if I leave later, I won't be able to accurately judge which side is safer."
"Really." Hearing Xiaojie's words, Ed stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground.He still held the small knife in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
A quiet and tense atmosphere pervaded here for a while, and was soon interrupted when Xiaojie stood up.
"Really...is it okay?" Ed looked worriedly at Xiaojie.
"En!" Xiaojie nodded vigorously, and then she and Ed ran together in the rain.
What made Ed nervous and afraid was that they did not leave here without incident. On the contrary, the two encountered a terrible monster again. The difference was that the moment he saw each other's face, Ed pulled up Xiaojie's hand started to run wildly.
[escape!Must escape!Otherwise you will die. ]
Without looking back at Xiaojie who was being dragged away by him behind him, Ed chose a nearby small door in panic, and then rushed in.
The monster's huge body hit the outside at once, and its mouth was just about to bite Xiaojie.
But now the only exit, the only light, there is a monster.Although it can't get in because of its huge size, the occasional crashing sound and falling stones from the ceiling are also disturbing.
Breathing deeply nervously, the heart seemed to jump out of the chest cavity, only the beating sound of the heart was left around.
"Let's go in and see if there is another way out." Xiaojie pointed to the inside and said.
"Ah? Go in."
Ed looked at the dark inside, and when he hesitated, Xiaojie had already walked in.
"Hey, Xiaojie wait for me."
Take out the flashlight in the bag and shine it inside. Unlike the design sculptures outside the building, the interior of this building is like being in a cave in a certain mountain.
"It's really strange. Oh! What is it?" Ed looked around.Suddenly he felt that he had tripped over something, and when he looked back, there was a skeleton behind him.
"Wow, isn't it, has anyone been here before?" Ed suddenly didn't want to continue walking.
"I think there should be, and there should be people who want to take risks like us."
"I don't mean that, I mean... there must be something dangerous in this building." Ed said, striding forward to Xiaojie.
"Could it be that there are some poisonous snakes or institutions here? Or there are many dead spots in this ruins group?" Saying this, Ed really wanted to take out the book in his bag and write something .
"Haha! That's really interesting to say that." Xiaojie laughed.
"Interesting? I think you are weird." Ed nodded speechlessly on Xiaojie's head.
"Hey, say I'm weird again." Xiaojie looked at Ed with some aggrieved eyes.
"Well, if you continue walking, you will know what's ahead." Xiaojie took out the fishing line from his pocket.
"...You are really optimistic."
The two continued to walk, and soon faced a fork.
"Since just now, we seem to be going further and further down." Ed turned his head and looked behind him.
"Hmm...which way should I go?" Looking at the straight road in front of him and the left and right sides, Xiaojie hesitated. "Ed, you make the decision."
"Me? I'll forget it, you just choose one and I'll go with you. You're obviously blessed and lucky, and the chance of choosing the right one is definitely higher than mine."
"Really? Let's go straight then."
After making up their minds, the two continued to move forward, but then encountered two forks in succession.
"How big is it down here..." Ed asked Xiaojie to sit down and rest for a while before he could see the end after walking for 5 minutes.It just so happened that he wanted to take this opportunity to write his own novel.
And Xiaojie was playing with his mobile phone on the sidelines, and it was already half an hour after the two set off again.
"Wow, there is no way." Walking straight forward, a large pit 3 meters away suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him.
"How about jumping over there?" Xiaojie put down his backpack.
"I can't jump that far with my old bones." Ed glanced at the things under the big pit, all spikes were arranged underneath, and he looked down with the light of the flashlight, and he could still see a few skeletons.
"Then I'll go there first, and I'll take you with me later." Xiaojie stretched his limbs and jumped over.
When she reached the opposite side, she took out the fishing line and tied fish scales in her pocket.After he took a deep breath and stuck the fish scale deeply in the stone wall beside the cave, she jumped back.
"Is this okay?" Seeing Xiaojie's behavior, Ed was still a little worried.
"If you tie the backpack with fishing line, it should be fine. That way your hands won't get hurt."
"...Well, that's not what I said, forget it, just trust you."
"Hold on to me, Ed."
Then Xiaojie put Ed on his shoulders, and then jumped towards the pothole again.
"Wow!" Ed closed his eyes in fear.
With the weight of the two of them, they almost fell onto the stone wall. If it wasn't for the existence of the fishing line, they might really fall.
[Sure enough, I was injured, and I was a little struggling. ] Xiaojie couldn't help thinking in his heart.
Then she pulled the fishing line and walked up step by step.
"—Hoo." After he and Ed came to the top, Xiaojie took out the scales stuck in the wall. "Huh? There are also two skeletons here." Xiaojie's flashlight shone to the side not far away.
She walked towards the skeletons, two skeletons in traditional costumes from the City of Illusions.Between the two leaning skeletons, their hands are tightly clasped, and there are golden rings on their hands.
After looking at it for a while, Xiaojie knelt down and took out a yellowed photo that the skeleton was holding in his hand.
The photo shows a family of three, and the little girl sits between them and smiles shyly.
"What is this?" Ed also looked closer.
Turn the photo over and write a sentence on the back: My baby Anne, we will always love you.
After seeing this sentence, turn to the front of the photo. The girl in the photo does look somewhat similar to Anne in the temple.
"...Let's bring this photo to Anne." Ed said in silence.
"No, just stay here." Xiaojie took out his mobile phone and took a copy of the photo. "After all, this photo is an important thing they will hold on to when they die, so let's keep it with them."
"Little Jie..."
"Let's keep going, Ed."
"kindness."
After walking a few more steps, he saw many skeletons leaning densely on the road in front of him, each with sharp arrows stuck in his head or body.
On the other hand, the walls on both sides are full of holes, it seems that there are organs here.
"How do we get there?" Xiaojie looked around, but Ed saw two undecomposed corpses on the ground.It seems that not long ago, there are still people here.
"These sharp arrows have pierced through them. It seems that they are very powerful." Saying this, Ed pulled up the corpse closest to them. "Let's use them as shields and move on." Grabbing the front of one of the sharp arrows, Ed suggested that the two walk back to back.
"Hmm, okay."
Because of Xiaojie's height, Ed could only bend down when the two walked.
But just as he imagined, when they walked through the road full of holes, the bows and arrows on both sides shot in their direction.It seems that the floor under his feet is likely to be the trigger mechanism.And holding the front part of the previous bow and arrow in hand, you can also predict the distance from the bow and arrow attack to yourself to the greatest extent.
After walking through this road smoothly, the two put the body aside.At this moment, the two corpses were like a hornet's nest, riddled with holes.
"Thank you." Xiaojie said to the two corpses.
"I don't know what will happen next?" Xiaojie was a little excited.
"You're all injured. I hope you don't encounter any monsters." Ed sighed. He didn't have the rough nerves of Xiaojie, who could be excited about unknown dangers.
There was a crisp sound of 'sensation', and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from behind, and then the sound was getting closer and closer to them.After Ed turned around and used the flashlight to see what it was, he rushed forward desperately.
"Let's go, Xiaojie!" A huge round boulder was rolling towards them behind him.
"Wow!" Even though his body was wrapped in bandages, Xiaojie thought of the scene in the movie that Leorio had told her.
In desperation, Ed grabbed Xiaojie and ran to the other side of the road at the next intersection.At this moment, the boulder hit the end of the straight road. 'Boom' a loud noise, shaking here.
"Huh, I'm saved." Ed bent over exhausted.
"Listen, Ed, there's something ahead." Xiaojie's attention was on the side of the fork.
"What is it?" Ed turned the direction of the flashlight, and suddenly the dense venomous snakes came into view.
"Hey!!!!" Instinctively retreated, "So many snakes?" Ed exclaimed.
Xiaojie looked at the tunnel in front of him and the door in the tunnel.
"Yes!" She walked towards the straight tunnel, followed by Ed instinctively, and found that the boulder that was supposed to be here unexpectedly disappeared.
"How did this happen? There was a loud noise just now." Ed carefully looked at the wall in front of him.
"Hmm... maybe if we go to the previous position, it will fall again."
"Is it recycled? It's true, otherwise it's not realistic to lose one of each group of people."
"Ed, you stand here, I'll trigger the ball again."
"What? Then I'll stay here..." Ed hesitated, but then he understood. "Okay, I know."
Seeing the back of Xiaojie leaving, Ed's evaluation of Xiaojie rises again.
[What a smart kid.Although it looks silly. ]
Not long after, the sound of rolling boulders resounded in the tunnel again, and under the light of the flashlight, Xiaojie's figure was getting closer and closer to Ed.
Swallowing, Ed believed in Xiaojie, so he stopped at the same place and waited for the result. He saw Xiaojie stop immediately before the fork in the road, then propped his hands forward, kicked his feet back vigorously, and tied up his whole body There was faint blood coming out from under the bandage, but even so Xiaojie didn't back down.
"Hmm!" Sweat broke out on his forehead, and after Xiaojie stopped the boulder, he moved to the fork.
"Success!" Ed watched happily, and with the sound of the boulder rolling away, until it hit the end of the bottom, a hole opened behind Ed's back.
"Yeah!" Xiaojie ran over excitedly and put his hands together with Ed, both of them had happy expressions at the moment.
"That's great, Xiaojie, you're amazing!"
"Let's go, Ed, let's go see what's ahead?" Xiaojie's figure was in front of Ed, illuminating this oppressive place like a light.
"Ah, by the way, let's walk against the wall." Ed stopped Xiaojie. "I don't know how the stone got back just now. I'm afraid there are other organs here."
"Oh, okay." Hearing this, Xiaojie immediately walked carefully against the wall.
They came to a huge space, and in the center of this open space was an unpretentious stone.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
"Do you want to take it?"
"Wait, Xiaojie, what if there is another mechanism that we don't know about?"
"That's it..." Just as the two hesitated, the entrance door was slowly closed.
"The door is closed."
"Well—do you want to get it?" Xiaojie was still hesitating while rubbing his chin.And Ed returned to the entrance, touching the door.
"How do I go back?"
"Well, Ed, I still want to get it." Xiaojie squatted down, and then took out the other scales from the bag.Then he threw the bag to Ed.
"Hey! Don't be so rash, let's get out of here first." Ed took the bag and then shouted.He didn't want Xiaojie to take any more risks.
Although Ed said that, Xiaojie still insisted on coming to the stone in the middle.
"I'm going to take it."
Seeing Xiaojie's decision, Ed also shut up, so let's wait and see what happens.
I saw Xiaojie quickly picked up the stone, and at the same time put the scales into the original position of the stone.This approach was also a part of the treasure hunting story she had heard from Leorio.
Xiaojie picked up Shitou and immediately backed away, nothing happened, which also made Ed's heart feel relieved.
"Great!" Ed walked towards Xiaojie.
"It looks ordinary."
Walking to Xiaojie's side, Ed and Xiaojie looked at this palm-sized stone together. It really looked no different from the stones in the wild. The only difference was that there were some scale-like things on the yellow stone. .
"You should stay with you first, maybe it will be of some use in the future, after all, it was so hard to get."
"Well, that's what you said." Putting the stone into the bag, Xiaojie looked around again. "Are we going out?"
"Do you know how to get out?"
"Didn't you say before that there may be a mechanism at the gate to let that round stone go back." Xiaojie said so, grinning at Ed, and after Ed was stunned, he also smiled slyly up.
The two returned to the entrance again, and as their feet stepped on the ground, a hole opened above their heads, and then the ground was like a spring, allowing them to bounce in.
Xiaojie: "—Wow! (ω)"
Ed: "—Yeah! o((⊙﹏⊙))o"
After the openings at the top merged, the two people who landed leaned forward at the same time, sliding their whole bodies forward like a slide.
Xiaojie: "Yeah! O(∩_∩)O"
Ed: "—Whoa! ('dish'b)"
When the body was empty, the two fell down and returned to the tunnel they had walked through before.
"It's fun!" Xiaojie happily looked at the opening on the top of his head that was gradually closing, while Ed was facing upwards with his legs in a state of embarrassment because his back was on the ground.
"It's not fun at all, it hurts."
"Hahaha, Ed, what is your posture?"
"Really, I thought there were treasures of gold, silver and jewelry inside." Ed scratched his head and sat up.
"Hey, is that so?" Xiaojie thought for a while, "That's right, the adventure and treasure hunting stories that Leorie and I told me seem to have found a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the end."
Just when Xiaojie and Ed were thinking that way, the gap on the top of their heads opened again, and when they were looking at it suspiciously, a pile of things fell down overwhelmingly, submerging them.
"Puff puff puff!" Stretching his head out from the pair of things, Ed spat out a few things he had accidentally contained in his mouth.After using a flashlight to see what was hitting him, he was stunned to find that it turned out to be a lot of gold coins and treasures!
"Hey, it hurts so much." Xiaojie's head also popped out from one side at this time.
"My God, Xiaojie, we're rich." Ed looked at these things in disbelief.
