The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 110 Choice
The two Lao Wang temporarily focused on the overall situation, reached a reconciliation, and continued to lead the way.

As for Cheng Xin, Douhu specially monitors him to prevent him from playing any more tricks.

The eight people moved forward in the maze of crisscrossing branches, sometimes climbing and sometimes jumping, and finally arrived at the top of the entire underground space. As long as everyone stood on tiptoe and stretched out their hands, they could touch the cold rock wall of the dome.

Gao Yang added a handful of fire to the palm of his hand, illuminating the surrounding scene even more. He immediately alerted: "The branches are moving."

Everyone also noticed that the branches that penetrated into the dome were slowly squirming, accompanied by fine stone chips falling from time to time.

Judging from the direction in which the branches are wriggling, they are shrinking back.

Everything shows that the "emphasis" of the entire space is shifting to the tree roots and the ground.

The weight-bearing branches under everyone's feet were also squirming, and the eight of them had to keep moving to barely stay in the same position.

"Where is the exit?" Douhu looked at one of the old kings.

"It will appear soon." Lao Wang said, "You will know after a while."

"Are you sure?" White Rabbit was doubtful.

"I have thousands of images in my mind and have tried various escape routes. Believe me, this is the only exit." said Lao Wang, who had an injury on his forehead.

Everyone looked at Cheng Xin in unison.

Cheng Xin nodded quickly, "Yes, this is the only exit, otherwise I wouldn't have climbed up the tree."

After that there is waiting.

For Lao Wang and Cheng Xin, they have seen countless versions of themselves in countless branches of time and experienced countless successful or failed escapes.

But for the five people of the Chinese zodiac, this is their first experience, and this is their only chance.

Failure equals death.

The waiting was more torturous than expected. It was getting brighter and brighter under their feet, and it was getting darker and darker around them. Even the flame in Gao Yang's hand began to pale and feeble. It swayed weakly, barely opening up a circle of light, reflecting everyone Faces with different expressions.

In this suffocating darkness, Douhu suddenly broke the silence: "Cheng Xin, why did you trick us into entering the tree hole?"

"It's not me! That's another me!" Cheng Xin hurriedly defended.

"It makes no difference." Douhu said in a gloomy tone, "I'll give you another chance. It's best to tell the truth."

Cheng Xin became nervous and did not dare to look directly into Dou Hu's eyes: "I killed two groups. Even if I escape, I will still be a sinner in the organization from now on, so I want to swallow the runes to offset the merit and pass all the blame." To Lao Wang, but..."

Cheng Xin glanced at Douhu and didn't dare to say anything more.

"But," Douhu took over with a smile: "You know you can't take it all for yourself, so you might as well trick us into the tree hole, so that countless of us will come out of the tree hole to kill each other, and you can take advantage of the chaos. Wen ran away.”

"……Yes."

"Bah!" As soon as Cheng Xin finished speaking, Lao Wang and the injured Lao Wang spat on Cheng Xin's face at the same time.

"You son of a bitch! If it weren't for the fact that I'm almost unsteady here, I would really want to break your jaw!"

"I said it! The one who lied to you, Cheng Xin, is dead!" Cheng Xin argued excitedly: "The wrongdoer has his debtor, so go ahead and hate him, don't hate me! I didn't lie to you, and I even helped you get it. Rune!"

"You just don't have a choice. If you had a choice, you would still harm us!" White Rabbit is very contemptuous. What she hates most is people who betray their companions.

White Rabbit suggested: "Let's push him down. Why should he leave alive? I think he is the deadliest person in the second group."

"Agreed." Qing Ling said.

"Count my vote." Officer Huang was also filled with indignation. If it hadn't been for this vicious Cheng Xin, there wouldn't have been two Lao Wangs, let alone the five of them who were almost hit.

"I have no objection." Gao Yang raised his hand.

"You, you can't do this to me, I didn't do anything!"

Cheng Xin panicked and looked at Douhu: "Please, don't kill me. I've given you my runes. I really just want to survive now..."

"No rush, let's talk about it when we get out." Douhu's unexpected tolerance and generosity surprised Gao Yang. He originally thought that Douhu would push him down with his own hands.

A glint flashed in Douhu's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the two Lao Wangs: "The most urgent task is to decide whether Lao Wang will stay or go." For a while, several people were silent.

No matter how you escape, the choice will come.

Douhu sighed in embarrassment and said: "Although I am not very educated, I at least know that this is a special space created by time and space runes. In a normal space, it is impossible for the two of you to exist at the same time."

The two old Wangs were silent, their faces ashen.

"If you're fighting with force, it's hard for you two Tin Woodmen to tell the winner. Besides, there's no place here for you to do it. If you're trying to reason, you can't convince anyone."

Douhu conjured a coin on the tip of his finger, "It's better to leave it to fate."

The two Lao Wang looked at each other, and after a brief hesitation, they said in unison: "Okay, I want to face it."

"Forget it, I want to be the opposite." Lao Wang, who had an injury on his forehead, said.

"Okay, we'll decide the outcome once and for all."

Douhu tossed the coin gently, caught it with the back of his left hand, and covered it with the palm of his right hand.

In just two seconds, everyone held their breath and raised their hearts.

The two old Wangs stared directly at Douhu's hands, their eyes trembling and cold sweat dripping from them.

Douhu slowly uncovered the back of his hand, revealing the reverse side of the coin.

Lao Wang, whose forehead was injured, breathed a sigh of relief, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Thank God."

Lao Wang stared at the coins blankly, his eyes were wet and red, and his face was full of reluctance.

Suddenly, he looked at Douhu with a sharp look: "You cheated! You can decide the heads and tails of the coin, right?"

Douhu looked at Old Wang silently, the light of the flames became weaker and weaker, and there was a hint of ruthless murderous intent in his eyes: "Old Wang, you don't belong here, you belong to the world in five minutes, don't force me."

"But, but I am also Lao Wang! You can't do this to me..." Lao Wang cried, his nose and tears flowing together. He looked so useless and pitiful.

He grabbed Officer Huang and begged: "Old Huang, I can't die here. I still have a wife and children. Please help me, I beg you..."

Officer Huang turned away: "Old Wang, I'm sorry."

"Old Wang," Lao Wang, whose forehead was injured, looked at his other self: "I understand your feelings, but I will not give in. This is my world..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden heavy tremor in the entire space.

The tremor didn't come from any one direction, but was everywhere.

Gao Yang only felt a strange force explode from his chest, almost tearing himself apart. The flame in his hand disappeared, and his whole body fell back in a fit of dizziness.

At the critical moment, two hands, one on the left and the other on the right, firmly grasped him, police officers Qing Ling and Huang beside him.

"Hold on to each other!"

Douhu shouted, although he was very close, but his voice was as weak as if he was separated by a cliff.

Everyone held hands and formed a circle.

At the same time, there was an incredible gravity beneath everyone's feet, as if there were thousands of invisible hands, frantically pulling them down.

"Ahhh!"

Everyone was trying their best to resist this terrible gravity and scream loudly.

It was pitch black all around, except for the weird white light coming from deep under his feet.

Suddenly, Gao Yang's vision became clear.

He raised his head with difficulty, and the dome disappeared, replaced by a deep and lonely void. There was a white halo suspended in the void. It was like an ethereal jellyfish, transforming into countless slender white tentacles, spreading around. Come on.

They stretch and contract as if they are breathing.
