The Ninth Secret Bureau

v4 Chapter 81: out on a limb

The dark and dull shaft gives people a particularly depressing feeling, like a road to death leading to the deep abyss. Even though the danger has been temporarily eliminated, the weird snake-like creatures have all retreated, but they came from the bottom of the well. The sense of danger... but it has never disappeared.

When everyone took out flashlights as illuminating objects, under the dazzling extremely white light, the spiral staircase seemed to become illusory and hazy, as if it turned into a spiral vortex in the water, and one look at the bottom of the well would reveal something strange. The dizziness, a bit like a motion sickness, seems to be confused by this spiral staircase.

"The situation is not so good." Chen Xian said in a low voice, took a flashlight to take a picture of the well mouth sealed by vines, and glanced around again, the expression on his face became heavier and heavier, "It seems that something is forcing us down. ."

Accompanied by a huge roar, Mr. Skeleton also gradually began to destroy the wellhead, but he couldn't shake the vines even with the power he could use to move the mountain.

Those seemingly weak black vines are harder than metal, and from the current observations, they also have a certain weird toughness. Whenever they are attacked by Mr. Skeleton, the whole body will sink out very slowly. A few centimeters, it seems that this kind of action is used to offset the impact, and every attack will be so perfectly resolved by them.

This crazy offensive lasted for nearly five minutes, and finally ended with Mr. Skeleton’s in vain. In terms of the destructive power he can currently display, he is not enough to destroy the vines that stand in the way.

"We can't get out for now."

Mr. Skull sat cross-legged on the steps, looking up at the well covered by vines, his eyes were already full of solemnity.

Could it be that the gods mentioned by these Meishan populations... are they really that powerful?

Or is there really a "god" in this world?

Mr. Skull was thinking about these questions, struggling to find answers in his mind. During his long life, he has seen too many unreal existences, such as the "gods" in the mouth of human beings, and those so-called in his opinion. God is nothing more than an extraordinary living body. If one day he will be so strong... he doesn't need others to believe in, he himself is also a god.

But the strange thing is that the living body in this deep ancient well... the breath it exudes is very strange.

Especially after the wellhead is sealed by those vines, the air here no longer has circulation, and the breath coming from the bottom of the well has become more and more perceptible.

It is an ancient breath, which is very similar to the breath of Mr. Skull's body. It seems that it is also the ancient life that has survived that long time. But it is a bit different from the breath of Mr. Skull. The breath of life at the bottom of the well has Very strong adhesion, whether it is the bricks that can be seen everywhere in the spiral staircase, or the moss that can be found occasionally on the edge of the shaft wall, they are all contaminated by the breath of that strange life... No, not so much. Contaminated, it is better to say that they are integrated with that life.

All the objects that Mr. Skeleton can perceive are filled with that weird aura, as if the entire space is connected to that life, and it seems that this ladder is originally a part of that life...

"This time the risk is great." Chen Xian sighed in a low voice. In order to avoid panic, he also deliberately lowered the volume. It sounded a bit like he was complaining with Mr. Skull.

"That life should be the same as me. It has survived for a long time." Mr. Skull kept looking around, the ubiquitous aura around him made him a little uneasy, "I have no certainty to kill it, at least. ...I can't destroy the vines it has conjured. I can't beat it in this respect."

Hearing Mr. Skull's words, Chen Xian couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After all, the highest combat power in the team is Mr. Skull. Even he can't speak out against opponents...How many chances does the others have?

At this time, Mr. Skull seemed to have also noticed the change in Chen Xian's mood, turned his face to look at him, and whispered.

"Actually, you can give it a try."

"Try it?"

"I still have some abilities that I haven't used, because I'm not in a desperate situation yet, so I don't dare to use them. Those abilities are very detrimental to myself. Once I use those abilities, I will soon..." Mr. Skull It seemed to comfort Chen Xian, but his voice became lower and lower.

"What will happen to you?" Chen Xian asked cautiously, "Will you die?"

"I will lose the ability to move within a period of time." Mr. Skull said helplessly, "If I still fail to kill the **** of Meishan at that point, I might really die in his hands."

Hearing this, Chen Xian went silent, nodded and stopped talking.

"Boss, what are we going to do now?" Lu Yisheng stood aside and looked around. This deep and dark spiral staircase brought him a great sense of oppression, making him feel a little bit difficult to breathe. How to go out or continue to go down?"

"I don't really want to go any further." Li Daosheng shrank aside, as if perceiving the sense of danger that could not be ignored, his voice became very low, "Don't blame me for saying frustrating words, I feel that we are going to die."

"I feel so too." Xu Yanan sighed, the expression on his face a bit ugly.

"But do we have any other way to go now?" Lu Yisheng picked his ears and asked helplessly.

During this process, the old man remained silent and stood quietly in the corner.

He looked up at the head of the well from time to time, and glanced at the bottom of the well from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Do you have a way to get out?" Chen Xian asked with a glimmer of hope.

The old man shook his head and said that he must be unable to get out, but...everyone may not die.

"Those vines seem to be the hands of gods." The old man calmly looked at the densely stacked black vines above his head with the light of the flashlight. "

"It's these vines?" Chen Xian frowned and couldn't help asking, "Then why doesn't it use these vines to attack us?"

"I don't know." The old man shook his head and said, "But I have heard the priest say that the body of God has not been very good, especially before it has fully recovered. The reason it needs those sacrifices is also because it wants to Heal...It's like being sick. Once you don't get the offerings of sacrifices, the gods will also become weak."

As he said, the old man raised his finger and pointed at the inconspicuous dark yellow spots on the vines.

"Whenever it becomes weak, these dead spots will grow on its hands. The more these dead spots, the weaker its body will be. If it is not provided with sacrifices in time... it will be very anger."

"What happens if it gets angry?" Lu Yisheng asked curiously.

"The priest will pick a disobedient person from the village and push it into the woods in the mountains that are used to worship the sacrifices, and then it will kill the sacrifices by itself...The pine forest before is such a place. "The old man replied.

Chen Xian raised his head and looked at the vine. As if he realized something, he asked.

"The locations where it controls the vines to kill are fixed?"

"Yes." The old man nodded.

"It seems that its abilities are also limited..." Chen Xian murmured, the expression on his face relaxed, "It doesn't seem to be as strong as I thought."

According to the old man, judging from the spots on the vines, the current Meishan God should be in a certain state of weakness, at least weaker than usual...If you want to kill it, maybe this It's just an opportunity.

Of course, apart from rejoicing, Chen Xian was also a little scared.

If the Meishan God they are facing this time is in its heyday... how terrible is it? ?

From the previous fights, it can be seen that Meishan God did not use all his strength at all, but simply made some snake-like creatures out to do things. Those weird lives are already very tricky for everyone, not to mention the constant The Meishan God behind the scenes?

"Let's go down and take a look." Mr. Skeleton said, patted Chen Xian's shoulder lightly. The blood-stained skull face did not show much expression, but Chen Xian could still see an inexplicable expression on his face. Reliable, "If we can't beat it, we will run out the same way, and with all our strength, I can surely tear the vines at the mouth of the well."

Chen Xian took a deep look at Mr. Skull and nodded silently.

"Everyone, be careful, don't fall behind...Let's go down and take a look now!"
