Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 414 The Disappearing Mummy

Having been trapped in this ghost passage for an hour or two, now that he has found the suspected mechanism, Ding Ermiao is shouting and getting carried away.

When Wu Zhanzhan heard this, he was also overjoyed and said: "Everyone, don't move. Ding Ermiao, please confirm again, don't be dazzled!"

Ding Ermiao agreed, swiping the sword back and forth along the gap in the steps, then raised his head and shouted: "It has been confirmed that there is a gap of half a centimeter between the two steps. Because the light and shadow of the chicken blood stone change , You don’t need to poke with the blade, but you can’t see this seam with the naked eye.”

"Okay, don't pull out Ding Ermiao's sword to prevent the mechanism from moving. Now Gu Qinglan is slowly approaching Ding Ermiao, and I'm coming too!" Wu Zhanzhan shouted, got up from the ground, and rushed to Gu Qinglan's side , the two ran towards Ding Ermiao together.

A few minutes later, Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan arrived together.

Although the separate search just now only lasted about an hour.But they can't see each other clearly and can't understand each other.Being in this cold and bizarre passage, everyone felt that a long time had passed.

Now looking at each other face to face again, the three people have a warm feeling of intimacy in their hearts.

Wu Zhanzhan squatted down and used the dagger in his hand to explore the gap that Ding Ermiao found. Then he nodded affirmatively and said: "This is the junction of the figure 8 circles! The key to cracking the hanging soul ladder."

"How to break it next?" Gu Qinglan asked hurriedly.

Wu Zhanzhan chuckled: "Actually, I don't know how to break it, but my master said that the Hanging Soul Ladder is a very delicate balance. If this balance is broken, the formation will break."

Ding Ermiao raised her eyelids and asked, "Then how should we break this balance?"

Wu Zhanzhan thought for a moment and said, "Use your Ten Thousand Cutters to pry it open and give it a try."

"Oh, yes..." Ding Ermiao agreed, then suddenly stopped moving, raised his head and said, "Junior Sister, you want to harm me, Ten Thousand Killers is the treasure left by my master, who can pry this hard iron Is it a stone? What should I do if it breaks?"

"What's so precious about a broken sword? Okay, okay, use my dagger. I'll do it."

Wu Zhanzhan drew out his dagger and said to Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan: "You two are standing on the same steps as me. If something goes wrong, don't blame me."

Gu Qinglan was a little confused and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Pros and cons." Ding Ermiao stepped aside to make room for Wu Zhanzhan and said:

"The eight-figure circle my junior sister folded with a piece of paper just now has the front and back sides connected together. You can walk from the front to the back side. Once this circle is broken, the front and back sides of the paper will not be connected. No. Standing together may cause us to be separated on the front and back of the note after the trap is opened, never to meet again."

"Wow, you look so awesome!" Gu Qinglan took a step up dubiously, and was on the same level as Wu Zhanzhan.

Ding Ermiao rubbed her nose: "It's not me who is great, it's my junior sister who is."

"Junior sister is just junior sister, why do you need to add the word me? I call you junior sister, my junior sister. Doesn't this make you look very affectionate?" Gu Qinglan teased.

A few days ago, Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan were at odds with each other, but after getting along with each other for a few days, the gap between the two no longer existed.After all, they are young people, and they get acquainted quickly.

That's why Gu Qinglan would make such a joke.

Sure enough, Wu Zhanzhan was not angry either. He turned around and said with a smile:

"Ding Ermiao likes to call me junior sister. That's his wishful thinking and arrogance. It's the same as Sun Houhou naming himself the Monkey King. I can't help it. But I have never regarded him as my senior brother. In this life, he can't even think about it. He heard me call him senior brother."

"Don't want to hear your... name?" Ding Ermiao asked, turning his ear.

Wu Zhanzhan didn't know what the plan was, so he blurted out: "Senior brother!"

"Isn't this a bark? Hehe..." Ding Ermiao grinned.

"Rogue." Wu Zhanzhan shook his head and smiled, asking everyone to stand still.

The steps were only one meter wide, so it was very crowded with three people standing there.

Wu Zhanzhan was in the middle, asking Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan to squat down, and then asked them to grab each other's arms and surround his back.This can ensure that after the mechanism is disconnected, the three people will be on the same side.

"Are you all ready? I'm starting!" Wu Zhanzhan warned, inserting the dagger into the gap, and suddenly pried his wrist!
With a loud sound, Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan looked down and saw that the stainless steel dagger in Wu Zhanzhan's hand had been broken into two pieces.There was only the handle of the dagger in his hand, but the front half of the dagger was missing.

The steps are still the same, no changes can be seen.Listen carefully, there is still the sound of howling wind.

"Isn't this the location of the mechanism and the balance point of the soul-hanging ladder?" Wu Zhanzhan turned to look at Ding Ermiao and said depressedly.

Ding Ermiao took off the headlamp and held it in his hand, looking at the gap just now.After a while, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "You can see the scene below, the gap has become bigger! There is still a step below!!"

Gu Qinglan and Wu Zhanzhan also imitated Ding Ermiao, looking down with their headlights, and their three heads coming together.

The gap just now continued to expand, gradually reaching a width of more than one centimeter.The light from the headlight shines through the gap, and you can vaguely see the steps below.

However, the steps below are not made of soapstone, but ordinary bluestone.Precisely because bluestone does not reflect light, Ding Ermiao and others can see the blurry scene below.

The gap in front of my eyes continued to grow slowly and silently.Ding Ermiao and the other three all held their breath and watched intently.I prayed secretly in my heart, hoping that this gap would continue to expand, and then I and others could jump through the gap and reach the next step.

But the hope was quickly dashed. When the gap expanded to about two centimeters, it stopped getting bigger.After a short pause, they gradually closed again.

As the gap closes, the light and shadow effect of the bloodstone's photocopies of each other appears again, and the light and color are like a dream.To the naked eye, there are no gaps at all.

"How did this happen?" Gu Qinglan finally raised her head, looked at Wu Zhanzhan and asked, "Now that the gap has been restored, do we still have hope of getting out?"

Ding Ermiao raised his head and was about to say something to comfort Gu Qinglan, but suddenly his expression changed, and he pointed forward and said, "Look! The mummy that was here just now is gone!"

When the three of them squatted down to deal with this gap just now, they clearly saw a mummy one meter in front of them.But now, the eyes are clean, and the nearest mummy is five or six meters away.

Gu Qinglan's eyes widened, and after looking at it for a long time, she said: "What's missing is not a mummy. The number of mummies is much smaller going up!"
