【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

The chaotic footsteps stopped one after another, and the earth wall above seemed to have sensed it, and it actually stopped the downward trend, barely stopping at a distance of two feet from the top of the person's head!

Everyone was like a frightened bird, with chills constantly rushing into their hearts, staring at the top of their heads in disbelief, holding their voices and holding their breath, not daring to move in the slightest.

The aisle is now so cramped that it is almost impossible to move an inch, people can only shrink their shoulders, there is a dead silence in the queue, amidst the flickering dim fire, suffocating depression and horror suddenly swept over everyone like a wave.

Yuan Zhongxin shook the torch in his hand with difficulty, his sharp eyes pierced through the gloom and approached the road ahead, his viewing angle was limited, and he could only vaguely see the general idea. He frowned and said, "We can't stop, we just have to If you can walk forward, everyone must speed up, but you must not run."

Yuan Zhongxin was not in the first place, standing in front of him were Wang Kuan, Fan Zaizhi, and two cavalrymen who were leading the way. He put out the torch in his hand, and then patted Wang Kuan on the shoulder and said : "I will go to the front with you."

Wang Kuan nodded without hesitation, turned sideways and changed positions with Fan Zaizhi, he walked in the first place, Yuan Zhongxin followed behind him, and the two led the whole team forward at the best estimated speed go.

Along the way, there was no change in the earth wall. Yuan Zhongxin put one hand on Wang Kuan's shoulder and the other against the earth wall on the left, secretly counting the time in his heart. After about a quarter of an hour, he asked in a low voice. Said: "Did you see any exit in front?"

Wang Kuan shook his head: "No, it's still a straight road."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned, with a serious look on his face: "I suspect that there is a time limit for the movement of the earth wall. Just now we were too busy running and didn't pay attention to counting. I can only guess that the time interval for the earth wall to move is one hour. , but how long it moves at a time, I cannot count."

Hearing the words, Wang Kuan pondered for a moment and said, "Now it's been half a stick of incense since the last move—combined with its moving speed and distance, if we can't get out of the aisle within two hours, we will be trapped." die here."

Yuan Zhongxin was entangled in his heart, and he asked solemnly: "How is it, do you want to run?"

This is a dilemma.

If they don’t run, the earth walls on both sides don’t have much time for them; if they run, the earth walls above them will sink, and the most disturbing thing is that Yuan Zhongxin and the others don’t know where the exit of the aisle is. If they know the exact location, they can still give it a go, but if the exit is several miles or even farther away, running is undoubtedly seeking their own death.

After all, the bet is life.

With Yuan Zhongxin around, Wang Kuan withdrew even the guts to take Yuan Zhongxin into danger. He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "We still have more than half an hour to think about it. Let's see first." Let’s make a decision after clearing the situation.”

Yuan Zhongxin is not some impulsive and brainless person, he nodded: "Okay, then wait."

Time passed unhurriedly. Although the journey was boring and depressing, since everyone knew that the earth wall would be displaced, the extremely tense mind has not been relaxed. Every step under the feet is like bare feet. Walking on the tip of the knife is frightening.

Seeing that the time limit of one hour is approaching, and there is still a straight road ahead that can't be seen as far as the eye can see, Yuan Zhongxin frowned, his eyes were clear and sharp, and he said in a low voice, "Wang Kuan, why don't we bet?" Give it a go, keep walking like this, it will be too late to run."

Wang Kuan hesitated, his handsome face was full of hesitation, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, take a gamble."

As soon as he finished speaking, an obvious "bang" resounded through the entire aisle, firmly lashing at everyone's hearts, they were still terrified, and they already clearly felt that the earth wall beside them was moving again. move!

Yuan Zhongxin was startled and shouted: "Run!"

There was an uncertain voice behind him: "But, above us..."

Zhao Jian's back felt cold, and he hurriedly shouted: "I can't control this much anymore! Let's run first!"

Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan ran ahead to open the way extremely fast, but just a few steps away, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and there was a sound of walls rubbing against each other that made people's scalp tingle, which was extremely ear-piercing!

Feeling the pressure approaching, Wang Kuan gritted his teeth and sped up his speed. Yuan Zhongxin followed closely behind, his figure agile and flexible, like a wild fox shuttling through the deep forest.

Among the 21 people, the six members of Qizhai have all received physical training from Liangzhu, so it is no problem for such a simple thing as running. The Qihou army has fought countless battles and has been stationed on the frontier for many years. Fan Zaizhi, who is tall, walks nimbly and does not slow down at all - such a group of people, running at an extremely fast speed in the narrow and gloomy aisle, is clearly in danger, but they are calmer in their hearts, and even a little calm .

Suddenly, Wang Kuan exclaimed: "Exit!"

When the people behind heard it, they were overjoyed.

When Yuan Zhongxin moved rapidly, he squinted his eyes and was pleasantly surprised. There was indeed a small hole similar to the exit of the aisle in front of him. I don't know if it was affected by the swaying fire in front of him. There seemed to be little spots around the hole. The white light was not glaring, as if it was shrouded in the hazy moonlight, with a faint hint of immortality in it.

The entrance of the cave was getting closer and closer to them. Seeing that Wang Kuan, who was rushing to the top, was only one step away from leaving this oppressive corridor, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stared at the scene in front of him.

Confused by his sudden change, the crowd stopped and looked at Wang Kuan's motionless back in surprise.

Yuan Zhongxin asked anxiously: "Wang Kuan, why don't you leave?"

At this time, the aisle was so narrow that it was difficult to even turn around. Wang Kuan tilted his head slightly, and said in a difficult tone: "There is a cliff ahead."

Beyond the entrance of the cave, a cliff suddenly appeared in Wang Kuan's field of vision. With the faint white light, he could only vaguely see a creepy abyss under the cliff.

These words hit everyone's minds like a bolt from the blue, and they were terrified. Their internal organs shrank tightly into a ball, and they couldn't speak for a while.

The earth wall is still narrowing, and even the earth wall above their heads is only one foot away from them!

Yuan Zhongxin pressed his palms sideways against the earth wall, and the Qihou army drew their swords one after another, and put the sword between the two walls, resisting the ever-approaching earth wall, in order to fight for Yuan Zhongxin and the others. Time to figure it out.

Looking at the increasingly urgent situation, Yuan Zhongxin had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Wang Kuan, there is still a glimmer of life for jumping off the cliff, this aisle won't last long!"

Wei Yanei's yell sounded not too far away: "That's right, maybe it's a flat ground to jump off! I don't want to be trapped to death! It's too ugly to die like this!"

Qihou Jun next to him raised his hand against the wall above his head, and at the same time glanced at Wei Yanei subtly. At the moment of life and death, Mr. Wei was still in the mood to joke...

Wang Kuan was still struggling, Yuan Zhongxin held his fisted hand and said firmly and lowly: "I believe in you, I will dance with you."

Wang Kuan glanced sideways at Yuan Zhongxin with a resolute face, bit the tip of his tongue, and a faint smell of blood wafted in his mouth. He held Yuan Zhongxin's hand instead, and let it go after a moment, and jumped forward without any hesitation. Jumping into the abyss without hesitation, he will be swallowed by darkness in an instant.

In the next second, Yuan Zhong Xinyi followed him without hesitation and jumped down. Before Wang Kuan was drowned by the darkness of despair, he fell rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he came to him and threw himself into Wang Kuan's arms. The two embraced tightly Hold each other, the wind whistling in the ear, the chill invades.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his hand to grab Wang Kuan's jade neck, and kissed it decisively. The tip of his tongue traced Wang Kuan's beautiful lips, jerky and passionate.

Wang Kuan's heart was tightly entwined with despair and surprise, throbbing pain, he increased the strength of his arms around Yuan Zhongxin's waist, hungry and thirsty, desperately deepening this kiss, which is very likely to be their last, His eyes were gloomy and full of sadness.

It may be because life and death are imminent, between the touch of lips and tongue, the pain is like the tide breaking the embankment, turbulent, rolling his mind into a daze, and his eyes, which are as clear as a spring, are no longer clear.

Then, the two fell into a cold pool at the same time, the coldness was piercing, the water was rushing forward, Wang Kuan couldn't care about anything, and all his thoughts were given to Yuan Zhong Xin, but the huge impact when he fell into the water just now made his consciousness gradually drift away, and he became dizzy.

Before Wang Kuan passed out completely, he realized that the person in his arms had disappeared without a trace with the last sliver of consciousness left.
