Chapter two hundred and sixty-one set fire to the snake
Yu Moqing knew that it was impossible for them to rely on their strength to deal with the sudden group of snakes that are now. Yu Moqing recognized that this group of snakes was very similar to the group of snakes she released when she was surrounded by people who were pretending to be, but they had no patterns on them and were all black spots. I think they were not extremely ferocious, but extremely poisonous. Why wouldn’t it be troublesome if they encountered it? Yu Moqing struggled last time, even though Yongye was by her side this time, it was hard to escape from all directions. How long could they last?
Thinking of those who pretended to be Qiu Mingshan to pick her up, she is now more sure that they should be the ones who were Yueshu all the way, either who obeyed Wei Chengde or Hui Concubine. In this way, she also understood that their murderous intentions towards her were indeed serious and had not weakened at all.
Yu Moqing could only rely on his memory to run wildly with Yongye. Their origin was blocked by snakes, so they could only run into the warehouse, and this not-so-wide passage would soon reach its end.
Yu Moqing thought to himself that the closer the passage to the center of the warehouse was to the center, there were not many mechanisms set up, so even if they ran there, they would only lead the snake group there and still surround them.
Taking advantage of the next corner, Yu Moqing stopped running and pulled Yongye away.
"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Yongye looked at Yu Moqing worriedly, thinking that she was unable to run.
"Aye, we can't run like this." Yu Moqing shook his head, "Look soon we will approach the center of the warehouse, which is airtight on all sides. The only level is at the entrance of the passage. Once you enter, all the entrances in the center will be closed and will only be opened in a quarter of an hour. During this period, once you touch the central mechanism, you will have nowhere to escape. If you happen to lead the group of snakes over at that time, we will be surrounded and will undoubtedly die. There are too many poisonous snakes and are extremely ferocious. We can't hold on to it alone..."
Yongye's face darkened, and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then replied: "Qing'er, go to the center first. I think Yueshu must have appeared another passage before us, so he released the poisonous snake and deliberately approached us... You go first, I'll block the snake group..." Then, Yongye was already pushing Yu Moqing forward.
A gust of cold wind suddenly swept through the passage, and the howling sound seemed as if someone was sobbing. With the light cast from above, it looked particularly pale and powerless, and a little scary.
Yu Moqing suddenly remembered that the gold mine fire broke out. In order to help her protect all the favorable evidence, this monster forced her to push her out of the mining area with internal force. The fire spread like a cloud of fire, burning out Yu Moqing's original confidence.
For the first time, she realized what it was to break the heart and feel like a knife. She still felt a little painful when she thought about it. And this pain was not at all because of the oppression and threats given to her by the power, but for the first time she realized how sad and broken it was to lose a person who was particularly important to her.
The vast earth was piled up with ruins, her tears gradually remained, her eyes were covered with blood. The farewell lasted for three years, and she never wanted to experience such a pain again.
Even though she knew that she was just threatened by the snake group, and even if she knew that this monster might be able to deal with the snake group, she just didn't want to hurt the monster in front of her because of her temporary willfulness and selfishness, and because of unintentional separation.
"No!" Yu Moqing had no intention of leaving at all. He stubbornly grabbed Yongye's sleeve and refused to allow him to go there.
Yongye's eyes sank, and he couldn't help but comfort him: "Qing'er, be obedient..." He saw that there was a hint of reluctance in his stubborn eyes.
"Monster, think about it carefully. Since Yue Shu followed us, she would not give up easily. Even if I went to the center to guard the box first, she would lead the poisonous snake over. If you want to break the back and I am alone there, if you don't react in a hurry and get rid of the firewood from the cauldron, then wouldn't we compensate the wife and the soldiers..." Yu Moqing blurted out, but there was no real reason, but his eyes were a little angry. As soon as he finished speaking, another voice came from Yu Moqing's ears, and she suddenly turned around, her eyes darkened.
I saw a pile of black things squirming towards them at the other end of the passage, making a "hiss" sound, like an echo of the region.
"Sure!" Yu Moqing's eyes were fierce, "Aye, she won't let us go, so she attacked her from both sides."
"Qing'er, stay well behind me and leave it to me." Yongye stopped letting Yu Moqing take action, pulled her behind him, and prepared to deal with the snake group on both sides.
Yu Moqing naturally would not allow Yongye to take a chance. She took a deep breath and grabbed Yongye's arm that he was about to leave: "Aye, I know there is a place where you can find the fire source. We have to lead the snake group over there and burn them all the way!" Then, she pulled out a dagger from her arms and handed it to Yongye. She had always prepared several times, so in addition to the snake lock, she also had several daggers to prevent the snake lock from being knocked down by her opponent.
The sharp dagger looked extremely sharp under the cold light of the passage, with a faint murderous aura.
"Serious?" Yongye turned back in disbelief, still a little uncertain, frowned slightly, but he still took the dagger.
"Well, just a little in front of this passage. Before all the snakes in front have come, we still have a chance to break through!" Yu Moqing then pulled Yongye forward.
Sure enough, this time the snake group was no less than the last time. Although the oncoming snake group was half as large as the rear, their movement did not disappoint the people in the slightest. The wriggling abdomen were like horse hooves, constantly rushing towards Yu Moqing and the others.
Naturally, how could these two people let these poisonous snakes succeed? They both raised their breath at the same time, and the wind was coming from their feet. The snake lock and dagger in their hands continued to cooperate. Finally, they broke through the group of snakes in front and stepped out a ground that could still accommodate them running.
Following Yu Moqing's pace, Yongye had noticed that they had entered a circular passage, and the dimmer the lights in front of them, it made people feel chill.
"Qing'er!" Yongye suddenly grabbed Yu Moqing, "You're crazy!" He had already guessed that Yu Moqing wanted to lead the snake group into a dead end.
"Aye, I'm not crazy!" Yu Moqing was pulled like this and immediately stopped. "Although there is no exit at the end of one of the dead ends, there is a hidden plate on the ground at the end. As long as the snake group is led there and then touches the mechanism, the walls on both sides of the end will spray flames, and the hidden plates will also be opened to make the ground tilt. In that way, the snake group will not only be burned to death, but will also sink all and will never climb up again."
"So you have to try your life?" Yongye's eyes became even darker when he heard it. "If the flames did not erupt in time, are you waiting for the snakes to share you with? If the flames burned too long, how should you escape! How could I allow you to take risks!" They had been passing by Death many times, but the only thing he thought was that the person in front of him was not hurt at all.
"I know!" Yu Moqing naturally knew that Yongye was worried about her, so he couldn't help but use some strength to hold Yongye's hand, wanting to reassure him, "But Aye, we have no time! There is no other way! Only in this way can we solve these poisonous snakes! The end of this place is narrow and can only accommodate me alone. You run to another alley first, and I will lead them away!"
"No! If you want to lead them away, I will lead them!" Yongye frowned and grabbed Yu Moqing's body that wanted to move forward.
"Aye, haven't you seen that these snakes are running towards me alone?" Yu Moqing had no choice but to release this unfortunate news again, "When we broke through the siege just now, even the snakes you knocked would attack me again, right? It can be seen that their target is not you, I am the only one!"
"I believe in you." Yongye just calmed down for a moment and immediately took Yu Moqing's hand, "Just... at least let me be with you..." He said in a stiff tone, without any permission, and had already pulled Yu Moqing to continue running towards the end there.
Yu Moqing didn't have time to refuse anymore, so he ran over there with Yongye.
As expected, the lights in front of me gradually dimmed, and a solid wall at the end blocked the way. The narrow end was airtight, like a coffin, suffocating and dim.
"It's here." Yu Moqing looked around here, and had already reached the end of the wall, and couldn't help but lean his back on it.
Yongye didn't have much. He knew that according to the current situation, the two of them had the only way, so they just stood with Yu Moqing and waited quietly for the group of poisonous snakes to approach.
After a while, the only exit was shining with gloomy light. The ground was covered by a group of black snakes. The dense spots circled, black and white impermanent, and they were approaching. The snake letters that were constantly spitting out were extremely scarlet, and their sharp teeth secreted sticky poison juice, shining with a cold light.
Yu Moqing's face was calm, and her back was constantly pressed against the wall. She took a deep breath and said, "Aye... I will count three later. We will immediately pass through the walls on both sides and immediately touch the mechanism!"
"Okay!" Yongye responded in a deep voice.
"Remember, don't look back!" Yu Moqing pursed her lips, her eyebrows slightly condensed, and her phoenix eyes stared at the group of snakes that kept coming.
"Three...two..."
"One, run!" Yu Moqing's eyes were fierce, and his feet immediately raised his breath.
Similarly, after listening to Yu Moqing's words, Yongye's eyes were half-concentrated, and he had already stepped on the wall with his breath and rushed towards the bright side. After a while, the group of snakes had passed by him and all rushed to the end, regardless of Yongye's breath.
He just settled down and Yongye showed up. There was no one around him. He suddenly turned around and his eyes were suffocated.
I saw that Yu Moqing did not move at all, but was still pressed against the wall at the end. His beautiful face was stubborn and his clear phoenix eyes looked at him indifferently, without any turmoil.
"Younger!" Yongye frowned, and knew that there was no time left, so he immediately prepared to step over and save Yu Moqing.
However, Yu Moqing gently curled the corner of his mouth, suddenly pulled out another dagger from his body, and threw the handle of the knife at Yongye with his internal force.
It was precisely because Yongye had not yet reacted that the handle of the knife hit his arm, and the internal force attached to it was extremely deep, which prompted Yongye's arm to be suddenly controlled by the internal force and directly touched the mechanism button on the wall.
"Bang!"
The two walls at the narrow end were roaring, and two flames immediately ejected, blocking Yongye's path and vision that he wanted to pass.
The surging flames came straight towards us, and the group of snakes on the ground had already made a tragic hissing sound. Some snakes bounced up directly because of the violent burning, while others flew around, trying to escape from the flames. However, the ground tilted down at the same time, accompanied by the burning of flames, the ignited group of snakes could only slide down the tilted ground.
Among the two flames, the vague figure gradually disappeared and turned into a wisp of black smoke. The burning smell came to the nose, making people frightened.
"Qing'er..." Yongye called out in disbelief, but there was no sound in the ground replying to him.
Yongye was stunned to see such a scene, feeling guilty and confused, and his eyes were dull. Until the flames stopped ejecting, the narrow passage had returned to its original state, and the ground had also returned to flat. Only a pile of ashes left on the ground in the sky, with nothing else.
Yongye's originally solemn expression suddenly relaxed, and his eyes flashed again. His clenched fists were also relaxed, and he turned around and walked towards another road.
On this side, the dark blue figure was curled up, sliding down a narrow and tilted passage, and its whole body was wrapped in cold water, which was extremely cold.
Until the moment it landed, Yu Moqing wrapped in cold water, threw out the snake lock to support the ground, and immediately turned up. Because the soles of the shoes were also soaked in water, they almost slipped.
As soon as she stood firm, she shook the water droplets on her tip, and gently curled the corners of her mouth, and a contemptuous smile rippled with her unruly and glory.
In fact, she was not sure just now. She knew from the beginning that there was not only a fire source, but also a water source in the mechanism at the end. The dark board at the end would indeed tilt and then sink. However, there were two channels under the dark board, one was specially used to store the ashes after the fire, while the other channel was mixed with water. As long as you entered, cold water would be poured on all the whole body to avoid the burning of flames. Jin Ke had probably considered various dangers here when designing it, so after designing, the channel containing the water source would be opened in advance, and people would fall down directly. Then the channel would be closed, and the other end of the channel to the fire source would be opened immediately.
But Yu Moqing deliberately concealed Yongye. It was because she knew that Yue Shu was murderous to her that these poisonous snakes would naturally not give up. If she did not lure all the snakes over, she would not be able to solve the problem of such a huge group of snakes and eyeing her. And because she knew that Yongye's love for her would not allow her to deal with it alone.
He simply lied to him and asked him to leave here and leave the agency for her so that she could lead all the snakes to him, and she would sink before the flames erupted and be wrapped in cold water.
She was not worried that Yongye would be too frightened. After all, there was no snake lock left in the ashes. Based on his understanding of her, he would also know that she had already walked from another road. I think he should have turned around and looked for his other way. But when we meet later, the monster probably would have to blame her for not telling him in advance and torture him deliberately.
But she quickly restrained her expression and snorted coldly: "Hmph, who made you so arrogant to me three years ago?"
Then she put away the snake lock and continued to walk towards the center of the warehouse.
What she didn't tell Yongye was that the warehouse actually had two-story structures. The upper floor was the overall layout of the warehouse, while the lower floor was to guide people to escape. Some directly led to the outside world, and some connected the road on the upper floor, which could be revolved back and then placed in the place where boxes were placed in the center. So Yu Moqing relied on memory and climbed up directly from the road below.
Finally, I arrived at the center of the warehouse and saw that the entrance here had already opened, and the light on the outside passage seemed to have not been transmitted. From the outside, it was extremely dim inside, with only a little dim light.
The center of the warehouse was indeed surrounded by an arc, with only one entrance, and two candles were lit on both sides of the entrance, shaking with the occasional cold wind blowing in the passage, as if it was about to go out soon.
Yu Moqing did not pay much attention to the entrance and walked straight in. He saw that there were many wooden boxes placed here, piled up together, and several screens to cover them to separate the doors. The warehouse was like a first-time building, and many wooden stakes and beams were retained, which were placed in the air, shaking, making people more cautious.
Walking in, Yu Moqing didn't see anything, but just vaguely heard a cough, intermittently, extremely weak, mixed with some vague mouths.
Yu Moqing frowned, slowed down, and tiptoed closer to the direction of the sound.
Chapter completed!
