Jiaohua

Chapter 494
The ball light is not dim, but it can only illuminate the square inch of the surrounding area, and when viewed from a distance, not even a single spark can be seen.

Xia Zhaoyi wrapped it around his fingertips, squatted down to support the stone bank, jumped down to the ashlar bricks decorating the lake, and then used his strength to jump forward to the stone wall on the right hand side.

The abyss is rugged, there are not only two banks in the cave, there are three banks, four banks... standing silently in a huge space, winding and colliding with each other, some big rock walls are several miles long, and some small rock walls are only three feet long. Low and high, the huge abyss is cut and separated, and it is disordered and disorderly, intricate.

The stone wall where Xia Zhaoyi is standing is the narrowest place on both sides of the bank. The lake and pool are not square nor circular.

The pool in front of her was full of waves, her back was pressed against the stone wall, and she walked forward step by step according to the light of the small ball lamp in her hand.

The steep and rugged stone walls did not hinder her speed. As she walked further and further away, she gradually smelled the fragrance of flowers under her nose.

It's Moonlight Peony again...

The chill climbed up again before, and she suppressed it with a frown.

This fear has been haunting her for a long time today, clinging to her spirit, making her distracted and wasting a lot of energy.

She didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose for no reason, and the more intense the chill was, the angrier she became.

Xia Zhaoyi closed his eyes, opened them and continued to move forward, his pace quickened.

The fragrance of flowers in front is approaching, getting stronger and stronger, and the wind is getting stronger. I don't know if the stone wall on the other side has been eroded or weathered, or it has come to an end.

After walking for another incense stick, the stone wall behind me became smoother and smoother. It was polished by hand, and became smoother as it went forward. There was also a layer of moon white paint on it. .

At the same time, the outline of the cliff bank in front is faintly visible, which is quite different from the cliff bank that we descended when we came here. This side is more open and empty, and there seems to be a towering long platform in the distance.

Xia Zhaoyi jumped off the stone wall and stepped ashore on the white stone beside the pool.

The wild wind was raging, and beyond the orange light in her hand, the vast space was filled with chaos and darkness.

The ground is paved with neat and large bluestone bricks. The reliefs on the bricks are intersecting in depth, and the patterns are curly grass and flowers with thin lines and branches, which is simple and elegant.

Xia Zhaoyi turned his eyes to look around, his eyes fell on the ground in the distance, and he walked up.

With her footsteps and the glimmer of light in her hands, a long water stain appeared on the bluestone brick floor in front of her.

The water stains come from the pool, leading to the front, walking along the water stains, ten feet away, a long platform rises from the ground, at least three feet high, and the edge seems to be surrounded by stone poles, facing Xia Zhaoyi. In the direction, is a long stone steps.

Xia Zhaoyi stopped, did not go over, and looked around again.

The sound of the wind doesn't seem right, I always feel that there are other noises.

She frowned and listened, squatting down, tapping her finger bones on the floor tiles.

Knocking all the way to the left, I found a loose floor tile. I used a dagger to dig along the gap, and when I found a spot, I pried it up forcefully, and suddenly a strong fragrance of flowers rushed to my face.

Accompanied by the scent of flowers, there is also the crisp and crisp sound of collisions, like bamboo chopsticks or dry stones, the sound is very vast and distant.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhaoyi cut off a small piece of fabric from the corner of his clothes, tied it into a knot, lit it with a torch, and threw it down.

As the flames fell, dozens of rows of long ropes hanging from bones flashed by, and countless bones collided in the wind, shaking violently along with the long ropes.

The small cloth ball didn't fall for a long time, and the ground could be seen, but the fire light disappeared quickly, and returned to darkness, leaving only the white bones, restlessly colliding with each other below.

The wind below is also very strong, no less than the ground, there should be large ventilation holes, so that the fragrance of flowers can be brought.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned, wondering whether to go down or not.

At this moment, there was a sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.

She froze immediately, before raising her eyes to look, the body squatting on one knee jumped up, turned sideways, avoiding the arrow.

Before she could stabilize, another arrow approached.

Xia Zhaoyi quickly dodged it, and then ran straight towards the direction the arrow came from without stopping at all.

At the same time, she raised her hand, and flicked up the small ball light hanging by Shui Cangshou. She wrapped her middle finger around the last piece of Shui Cangshou, and slid her ring finger on the small ball light. The ventilation holes of the ball lamp were blocked, and after a while, the orange light disappeared.

During this period, two more arrows were shot, but she avoided them.

When the world was turned into darkness, the archers held the crossbow and had nothing to release for a while, so they froze.

But soon, he raised the crossbow again and shot towards the movement in the darkness.

For a two-shot crossbow machine, each time there are two crossbow arrows in front and one behind.

Fall through.

Fall through.

Fall through.

The sound of the arrow hitting the bluestone tile floor was very obvious.

The archer panicked, turned around immediately, and ran inside.

Xia Zhaoyi ran as fast as he could, but had no choice but to go up the steps, three steps in two, and when he ran up the steps, there was no one there.

The high wind was strong, she gasped silently, the strong wind entered her throat, and her already dry throat was sore.

The small oil ball lamp in her hand cooled down quickly in the strong wind, so she took it back and did not light it again, holding the dagger and listening to all directions.

There seemed to be nothing in the darkness, and because of the darkness, she dared not walk forward easily.

Her ears can only hear animals, but cannot distinguish still life. If there is a trap in front of her, she has no way to guard against it.

The man holding the crossbow didn't go far, but hid in the darkness, his tall and burly figure didn't dare to move rashly, looking coldly and viciously at the direction where the orange light disappeared just now.

What I saw when the orange light finally disappeared was a girl who was galloping like a wild leopard.

If he hadn't observed her in the dark for a long time just now, he would not have believed that this person was really a girl.

Which girl would dare to come here alone, instead of running, crying, or kneeling down to beg for mercy in front of his Shuangliannu, she would even run head-on?
Even if they were adults with some skills, they might not be like this.

It was this ferocity that left the man with lingering fear.

Time seemed to freeze, his eyes looked left and right, except for the howling wind, there was no sound in front of him.

The girl stood quietly in the darkness like this, as if becoming one with the ground.

The man even had an illusion that he seemed to be the only one left in the whole space.

Living in the darkness all year round and being with the corpses, he felt the darkness was so oppressive for the first time.

After a long time, he tried to lift his foot and backed away, trying to be as silent as possible.

But almost at the moment when he moved his body, there was a rushing sound in the darkness.

A strong sense of crisis came over him, and the man immediately waved the crossbow in his hand, fighting randomly in the dark, and found that there was no movement in front of him after a while.

The man's heart beat like a drum.

Is this girl a human or a ghost?
No, what are ghosts?
He has been here for many years, if there were ghosts, he would have died countless times.
