Chapter 69: The Iron Gate That Cannot Be Opened
The hurried footsteps of the bloody corpses were getting closer and closer. My cousin and I naively thought that as long as we could avoid them, we could enter the next nine-ring trap.
But this was all due to our carelessness. They were originally the messengers guarding the first round. If we didn't eliminate them, there would be no way for us to enter the second round.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, my stomach was churning and I felt like vomiting.
But I know now is not the time.
I tried hard to suppress the churning in my stomach and make myself look as normal as possible.
But when my cousin looked back at me , he frowned and said, "Try breathing through your mouth. You will feel better this way. Look at you. You look pale."
What my cousin said was of course correct, but I complained about it in my heart.
Who wouldn’t be scared after seeing a bloody corpse?
Not everyone is He Wenzhou.
"They are coming. Remember not to breathe."
My cousin reminded me, and I nodded and took a deep breath.
I had been planning to hold my breath, but I nearly died on the spot.
The smell of blood was really terrible.
Those blood zombies probably couldn't find us, so they returned to the door behind us.
That door leads to the next formation bureau.
They have to hold this place.
If we want to leave, we have to do them first.
"Do you still have the Lihuo Talisman in your hand?" asked my cousin.
"There are less than ten left, which should be enough to deal with them." As I said this, I took out four Lihuo Talismans from the treasure bag.
I roughly know what my cousin means.
As long as I can successfully stick the Zhang Li Fire Talisman on the foreheads of those blood corpses, I can make them stop moving, and they will not be able to stop us from moving forward.
But here comes the problem.
I couldn't get close to them at all.
As the bloody corpse got closer, my hands began to tremble.
"Or you can go." I stuffed the Lihuo Talisman into my cousin's hand.
My cousin pushed it back to me: "These are the things you practiced. They are useless to anyone else. Go quickly and don't waste time."
Don't waste time?
What does this sentence mean?
Is there a time limit for this nine-ring game?
"Yes, that's right. If we can't leave this bureau before dawn, we may be trapped here forever. There are still three hours until dawn, and we don't know how many bureaus are left, so hurry up."
I looked at my cousin in astonishment, and his eyes told me that he was not kidding me.
I tightened the talisman in my hand and swallowed with a gulp. The sweat on my forehead dripped down my cheeks to the ground.
I don't know whether what my cousin said is true or false.
But I know that the only thing I can do now is to put the Lihuo Talisman up.
Even though I was a little scared, I still had information about myself.
My cousin gently pushed me with his hand.
I had no choice but to move forward.
I've been idle at the agency recently, so I practiced boxing with Lin Mu.
This comes in handy at this time.
Looking at the blood zombies, I ran to the front.
Following the direction of the mirror, I kicked my feet.
The whole person flew into the air.
Just as I was flying away, I stuck the Lihuo Talisman in my hand on the forehead of a blood corpse.
The blood corpse did not move as expected, but the blood corpses behind him were now boiling with excitement.
They were like crazy, rushing towards me.
After controlling one, there were only three left.
But those three bloody corpses had mouthfuls of blood plasma in their mouths, and the scene was extremely disgusting.
Coupled with the extremely fishy smell in their mouths, my head felt dizzy and I almost passed out.
"Wen Jie, hurry!"
My cousin was guarding the door, and he was not idle either.
Occasionally he looked back at me while trying to open the door leading to the next bureau with a thin iron hook.
But the sound on my side was getting louder and louder, it was all the howling of the blood zombies.
When my cousin looked back, his pupils shrank instantly.
I heard my cousin calling me, and turned around and looked at him.
When I saw his expression, I knew something was wrong.
"Why do you always attack the big guy? That sturdy blood corpse is their big boss. You have to start with the little brothers and attack them slowly!"
My cousin's voice was hurried and a little trembling.
How would I know if they are big shots or not? Didn't you ask me to stick the Fire Talisman on their foreheads? !
After listening to my cousin's words, I was stunned for a moment.
Now what?
My eyes called for help.
My cousin sighed and said, "Never mind. Since you have controlled the big boss, just follow your previous routine and control the rest of the little brothers!"
Tsk!
I thought he had some good idea, but it's still the same old routine!
Following the previous method, I quickly dealt with the remaining blood corpses.
I was still feeling smug, it seemed that the Lihuo Talisman I practiced was still somewhat useful.
But at this moment, the blood corpses suddenly began to move again.
Oops!
I forgot that the Lihuo Talisman has a time limit.
As long as that time is passed, there will be problems!
What should I do now!
Just when I was at a loss, my cousin suddenly turned around and said, "Come on, the door is open."
At this time, my cousin appeared like a savior. I heard what he said and hurried to his side.
as expected.
He used the thin iron hook to open the door leading to the next bureau.
He suddenly became a god in my eyes, and his whole body was glowing.
I have to admit.
Sometimes my cousin is really awesome, but that is only when he is working. After all, in his daily life, he is still a lazy loser who can’t find a partner.
The door slowly opened in front of us. My eyes were shining and I just wanted to escape from this situation as soon as possible.
But after the door was opened, there was still an iron barrier.
There's no way we can get through here.
There are four hand prints on the iron gate, all of which are right hands, which seem to be the key to opening this iron gate.
But my cousin and I only have two hands together, so there is no way we can get four in total.
Suddenly, a white light flashed through my mind. Could these four hand prints represent the four bloody corpses?
Although the effect of the Lihuo Talismans had expired, they were still attached to the blood corpse's head, causing the blood corpse to move slowly.
"Can your Lihuo Talisman control them?" my cousin asked me.
I shook my head and stretched out my hands to one of the palm prints.
The iron gate did not change because of my palm print, so I guess there might be more to it than just the palm print.
