We can only agree on a rough idea. Our watches are out of order, so we can't calculate the time accurately, and we don't know what the situation is down there. If we are lucky, both of us can survive, and maybe we can break the barrier of the magic circle and leave. This ghost place, if we just remember it, maybe a group of people will throw it here, or even two groups of us will be wiped out. This is all possible, after all, we have no certainty.
Finally, Mr. Mai said, "No matter what danger you encounter, hide wherever you can. No matter who of us exits the cabin first, we will have to wait at the hatch for a while, about an hour. You can estimate it yourself. , if the other group of people has not come out yet, they must go down to the cabin to rescue.”
It stands to reason that if the other group really didn’t come out, the group that ran out before should retreat, but we have no way to retreat at all. If we don’t break the boundary of the magic circle, we will only die. So , we can only go all the way forward, there is no way to retreat, it is either victory or death.
"Well, that's it, Lao Ba, let's go." I nodded to Mr. Mai, opened the hatch on the left, and walked in first, followed by Jiao Ba and Li Xin. Followed.
But after I walked in, I realized that this place was really different from other ancient ships. Logically speaking, there should be a wide aisle inside the cabin door, but it was so narrow inside that it could only accommodate Due to the position of the two people, and in this aisle, from the moment they walked in, it was obvious that there was a sinister wind blowing towards them.
Jiao Ba and I were the first to walk in the front. The passage was not only narrow, but also very short. You could almost touch the ceiling with your hand, and there were no cabins on either side. It looked more like a passage than a cabin. There is a big difference in the aisles.
Li Xin whispered behind me, "Where does the wind come from here? It makes my face hurt."
"Isn't it? This place is all closed, why is it still there? It's so damn cold with such a cold wind," Lao Shui muttered next to Li Xin.
Although the wind in the aisle is not hard, it is very cold. It blows on my face like a knife has cut me. I can even feel it penetrate my cold-proof clothes and reach deep into my bone marrow. This is the most terrible thing. If it keeps blowing like this, I'm afraid I'll get rheumatism.
Jiao Ba said without looking back at this time, "This is called unfounded wind. This wind is a sinister wind. It proves that the corpse spirit here is very strong. The coffin is likely to be buried nearby. Be careful, guys. Point.”
"No wonder it's so cold. Feelings are like a dark wind." I said with a sneer.
The dark wind blew for about three or two minutes and then slowly disappeared. The five of us did not walk very fast. On the contrary, we slowed down a lot. The corridor was completely silent, except for a few of us. I heard nothing but the sound of individual footsteps.
The silence here is so eerie, but the atmosphere seems very tense, the space is too small, and there is a strong sense of oppression. If there is any emergency, you will have to find a place to escape. question.
Every time we walk a short distance, Jiao Ba will stop and look around carefully. He will thoroughly check the surroundings with his flashlight, not missing any corner, trying to be as foolproof as possible.
Every time I stopped, I would hear the gasps of others, even Jiao Ba. This proved that everyone was on high alert, and the power of the ancient ship was unknown. As powerful as we are, no one knows how far we can go.
Not long after the dark wind disappeared, there was a "squeaking" sound in my ears, which was very similar to the sound of the rat. My first reaction was that this was probably the rickety black ghost. Except for it, I can't think of any other creature that makes such a sound.
"Why do I always feel that there are sounds around me? Do you hear it?" Li Xin finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and stopped to look around, but the space here was only so big, and it was useless to look at it. look.
“I heard it too, it seemed like a rat’s cry.” Lao Shui answered hurriedly.
"Rat? This ancient ship is hundreds of years old. Where did the rat come from?" Xiaofeng asked a little confused.
"It's that black mist-like thing, I remember its voice." I said in a low voice with a cold face.
Li Xin was suddenly startled, grabbed my arm and asked, "Is that the thing with green eyes?"
She seemed a little scared, and she grabbed my arm very hard. I patted the back of her hand. I comforted her and said, "Well, don't worry. There are so many of us. Even if it really is that ghost, there are ways to deal with it." While comforting her, I was also comforting myself. It's just that numbers embolden me.
"Shhh" Jiao Ba suddenly put his index finger in front of his mouth to tell us to be silent. After we calmed down, he glanced at us and whispered, "Please, it's very dangerous here. Everyone, please stop talking and concentrate on walking. "
Jiao Ba's face was very serious, and he was much colder than before. It could be seen that the matter was serious. You could tell from his tone that he was ordering us, and the few of us had no choice but to nod in agreement. Don't dare to say any more nonsense.
Jiao Ba nodded with satisfaction, and we continued to move forward. Not long after, a fork in the road appeared in front of me, but at this moment, I heard a 'click' from behind. There was a crisp sound, and then Xiaofeng suddenly yelled from behind, "Ah... help me." Then there was a muffled sound of 'bang', which immediately startled us.
We quickly turned around to see what was going on. Under the light of the flashlight, Xiaofeng was lying face down on the ground. We didn’t know whether he was dead or alive. We didn’t know what exactly happened just now. After all, Xiaofeng was on the ground. Finally, we don’t even have eyes on the back of our heads.
Lao Shui was the first to react, and he was also the closest to Xiaofeng. He quickly squatted down to support Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, are you okay?" The rest of us immediately squatted around him. .
“My leg, my leg, may be broken.” Xiaofeng’s face turned pale in pain and he grinned.
I realized now that his left foot had trampled a piece of the wooden board under the aisle, and it was still in the hole. It didn't matter if it collapsed, his body would definitely lose his balance. He tripped and fell directly, and it was really easy to break the bone on his face. This was a forceful break by gravity, and it must have been an uncomfortable feeling.
“Get him out quickly.” I greeted, and a few of us lifted him up gently. After dragging him aside and letting him lean against the wall, Li Xin hurriedly helped him Check the injured calf.
Xiaofeng was in a cold sweat because of the pain. He was gasping for air. Seeing him like this, he must have been seriously injured. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "***, why am I so unlucky? You're such a *** bastard." ,***."
"Calm down, Li Xin is checking you out, don't worry, nothing will happen." I squatted in front of him, holding his shoulders and saying, look at him like this. The situation is not very optimistic.
But a few minutes later, Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, you are lucky. No bones were injured, just a little sprained. Thanks to your body tilt, otherwise this The leg must be broken."
"Is it really okay?" I looked at her and asked, somewhat doubtful. I was afraid that Li Xin would say comforting words again. Tiemian was the best example. It was obviously a serious injury, but he said it was nothing.
Li Xin looked serious, "It's really nothing this time. Don't worry, no bones were hurt."
"Then why is he in such pain?" I was still a little doubtful. If it was really just a sprain, it wouldn't be so painful that I would break out in a cold sweat.
"That's his own fault. It's just mental pressure. Lao Shui, you go find a piece of ice. I have to put it on him. After a short rest, he should be able to leave." Li Xin looked up and said.
There is ice everywhere here. Lao Shui used a knife to cut a piece of it casually. Li Xin put the ice cube on Xiaofeng's ankle, then looked back at us and said, "He can't walk yet. We I have to stay and watch him. "
I glanced at Jiao Ba, telling him to pay attention. It doesn't matter to me whether to move on or stay and wait for Xiaofeng. The most important thing is that everyone must. We have to be together, and we must never be separated again, otherwise something will definitely happen.
“We can’t stop. The yin energy here is too strong. Staying in one place for a long time will be harmful to our bodies. Moreover, the environment here is very poor and the space is too narrow. Once we encounter danger, we won't have time to run." Jiao Ba's meaning is obvious, we must go.
Li Xin said a little embarrassed, "But... he can't walk now."
"No, I can walk, as long as the bones are not injured. Don't worry, I won't drag everyone down." Xiaofeng is a He was a very strong man, and while he was speaking, he actually stood up with his hands on the ground.
But as soon as he stood up, he was about to fall down again. Li Xin hurriedly stepped forward and helped him, "Don't force yourself. You can't move now, Jiao Ba, we'd better wait." Give it a try, it’s hard for him to walk now.”
"No, we absolutely can't wait. If you can't walk, carry him on your back. Lao Shui, you carry Xiaofeng first, and then switch to us when you are tired." Jiao Ba's tone did not allow anyone to refute. Now, he also has the right to lead us. This narrow This place is really not suitable for staying for a long time, it is too dangerous.
After we helped Xiaofeng up, Lao Shui carried him on his back, but now there is a problem. There is a fork in the road ahead, and we have to make a choice. I used a flashlight to look at the forks on the left and right. I looked around everywhere, but I was still confused and found nothing.
"What to do? Which way to go?" I once again threw the problem to Jiao Ba. Since he wanted to take the lead, he naturally made the decision.
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said simply, "There is nothing to do. Everyone disperses. You and Li Xin go to the left, Lao Shui and I." "Absolutely not, you are crazy." "There are only five of us in total, and one of us is injured now. If we spread out, there will be no one left." I interrupted him directly. If we spread out again, we would be seeking death. Let alone finding the coffin, we might die halfway there.
