Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

Even Joe was in a hurry to rescue Lonicera, and the lame leg didn't seem to hurt anymore.He ran wildly for a long time, and unconsciously chased the big snake down several floors.

From time to time along the way, someone appeared to stop him.Lian Qiao thought at first that these people were ambush deliberately, but soon realized something was wrong.They didn't seem to be aiming at him, but beat everyone they saw, and bit them if they couldn't beat them, completely losing their minds.

Although they couldn't name them, Lian Qiao knew that these people were all players this time.It seems that Liandong is not the only one under control, but why is he the only one not affected?

Is it...

Lian Qiao felt the longevity lock on his chest faintly hot.He somewhat understood Liandong's weird behavior earlier.

The situation was urgent, so there was no time for him to think about it.He picked up the crowbar and swung it down fiercely, the metal hitting the flesh made a dull sound, the other party fell down in response, unable to stand up again.

However, one person fell, and more people came around.These background board players are weak chickens when they are awake, but after losing their minds, they are no longer afraid of pain, and instead become superior in combat effectiveness.Lian Qiao ran on the rampage with a ruthless vigor, blocking and killing gods and Buddhas, overturning more than a dozen people along the way, but his physical strength was exhausted in the end.

"Damn it! It's endless!" Lian Qiao leaned against the wall and panted.Surrounded by a group of people, he watched the big snake sweep away Xu Rendong, feeling extremely anxious.

Just when he was about to go all out to kill the blood, he suddenly heard a scream from behind the crowd.Everyone was shocked, Qi Qi looked back and saw a man waving his hands and feet, his face full of horror.Behind him, a big black bird flapped its wings sharply, blowing a gust of wind, grabbing the adult man who weighed more than a hundred pounds off the ground!

"Help!" Although the man lost his mind, he still knew how to call for help.He waved his hands and feet in mid-air in a futile attempt to escape from the giant bird's claws.The giant bird was shaken by his struggle, and suddenly gave a strange cry.Immediately afterwards, the man let out a terrific scream.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The sharp claws of the giant bird actually scratched through the man's shoulders alive!The man's shoulder blades were firmly nailed to the sharp claws, and the blood instantly stained his shirt red!

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help being terrified, and they all shrank back a few steps.Although Lian Qiao was also horrified, but because he was worried about Lonicera, he took the opportunity to run away.There were a few more screams from behind, accompanied by the flapping of wings, and one didn't need to look back to know that someone had been captured by the giant black bird again.

Lian Qiao ran downstairs anxiously, looked around in a hurry, but did not see the shadow of White Snake and Xu Rendong.He turned his head and ran down to the first floor. As soon as he stepped out of the stairs, he saw something falling from the sky.

It fell so fast that even Joe didn't see it clearly for a moment.Half a second later, another object fell in the air.

This time he saw it clearly, and the blood all over his body instantly froze into ice.

That's - half a man -

That was the man who was caught in the sky by the giant bird just now.At this moment, he had been torn in half alive and thrown down one after the other.It was the left half of his body that fell first, and the other side fell at this moment.

A head with a bit of flesh hanging crookedly around his neck.He was not completely dead yet, and when he fell so fast, he even looked at Lian Qiao briefly.

Seeing his tragic death, Lian Qiao felt his throat tight and his hands and feet stiff.The smell of blood instantly filled the air, making him almost out of breath.

No, can't stop here.

Go save Honeysuckle!

Lian Qiao forced himself to move, clenched the crowbar tightly and moved his legs again.However, as soon as he turned around, he heard an ominous flapping sound of wings behind him.

He was targeted by a strange bird!

Without even looking back, Joe turned around and ran towards the stairs.But suddenly another strange bird flew in front of him and landed in front of him.The huge wings shook off the rain, and the black bird eyes stared at him coldly.

Lian Qiao felt cold all over.This strange bird is huge, and it can easily lift a grown man into the air, and then tear it up and throw it down. It is simply a natural killer.Lian Qiao couldn't deal with just a strange bird, let alone a front and back attack!

Lian Qiao clenched the crowbar tightly, and quickly glanced outside the tulou.He reckoned that he was on the second floor of the tulou, and he might still have a chance of survival if he jumped from here.But under this look, he couldn't help being shocked.

He expected well, this is the second floor.But the downstairs is not a flat and open hall, but a deep pool!

No, not a deep pool.It's the rainwater that has accumulated in the lower hall and has nowhere to drain, and it has merged with the water pool in the center of the lower hall!

Lian Qiao didn't realize until this moment that the rain was astonishingly heavy. In just a few minutes, the amount of rainfall reached tens of centimeters!If this continues, the second floor will be flooded in a blink of an eye!

How to do? !

Jumping into the water rashly, it is inconvenient to move, and the strange bird catches him as easily as catching a fish.But if he didn't jump, the two monster birds pressing on every step would tear him to pieces on the spot!

But Lonicera is still alive and dead!He can't die here!

Lian Qiao involuntarily touched the longevity lock hidden on his chest.The small and exquisite longevity lock, with a little body temperature, was lying on his chest safely.

He must save Lian Dong and return the longevity lock to Lian Dong!

Thinking of this, Lian Qiao gritted his teeth, threw away the crowbar, and quickly reached into the backpack with one hand.

The two strange birds on the left and right seemed to have sensed something, Qi Qi raised his head and screamed strangely, then flapped his wings and rushed towards him!In an instant, a bloody storm rushed towards his face, with the ruthlessness of a one-hit kill, and countless dead souls under his claws!

At the time of life and death, Lian Qiao finally touched the thing in the backpack.That thing was firmly stuck in the palm of the hand, which gave people an inexplicable sense of security.Lian Qiao's palm was a little hot, he took a deep breath, and felt that something was being pulled away from the depths of his body.

Suddenly, there was a cold in the waist.

Lian Qiao opened his eyes in astonishment, and looked down to see a touch of white on his waist.Before he could react, he was dragged forward and dragged straight into a guest room.The two strange birds on the left and right flew into the air, then flapped their wings and turned around to chase after it.

Lian Qiao felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he fell to the ground.There was a bang behind him, and two wooden doors closed again!

"You?!" Lian Qiao turned around and saw a person he never expected, "Shi Jianchuan?!"

I saw a man in a black Tang suit sitting on the big carved bed.The man seemed to have no bones in his body, and he was lazily leaning against the bed rail.Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled slowly, "Huh?"

Before Lian Qiao could express his doubts, he heard two bangs from the door. It turned out that the two strange birds were chasing after them, and they were slamming into the door with their huge bodies!

Lian Qiao hurriedly got up from the ground, and was about to find something to block the door, but Shi Jianchuan said lazily, "Don't move."

Lian Qiao was puzzled.In the next second, he suddenly felt that danger was approaching, and subconsciously stepped back three steps.

puff.

A sharp arrow pierced through the wooden door and nailed forcefully to the bluestone floor tiles!

Lian Qiao was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.Only the sound of sharp weapons piercing the air could be heard from outside, thousands of sharp arrows shot from all directions, immediately nailing the two strange birds to the wooden door!

The strange bird died before it could even make a pitiful scream.But the sharp arrows kept coming, and hundreds of arrows were nailed to the door in an instant, not only piercing the strange bird into a stuffed animal, but even knocking down the entire wooden door!

Even Qiao stood cautiously against the wall, not even daring to breathe.He glanced at Shi Jianchuan with lingering fear, and finally understood why Shi Jianchuan sat on the bed.

The carved bed is located in the deepest part of the room.Although the arrow came fiercely, it could not hit the carved bed due to the limited angle.

With sharp eyes, Lian Qiao suddenly realized that there was still someone lying on the bed behind Shi Jianchuan.With that tall figure, one can tell who it is at a glance.Just at this time the arrow formation stopped, Lian Qiao called out "Lonicera" and ran towards the big bed.

Shi Jianchuan didn't stop him, stood up leisurely, and graciously got out of the way.

Lian Qiao threw himself in front of Liandong, checking his situation up and down.Liandong's eyes were bloodshot, and he still hadn't recovered his senses. Fortunately, he was tightly bound with climbing ropes, so he just struggled and couldn't escape.Lian Qiao saw that his clothes were in tatters and there were bruises all over his body. He thought it was scratched by the big snake when he was dragging him, and his heart ached.

Lian Qiao wanted to ask Shi Jianchuan what was going on.Turning around, I saw a small silver snake crawling out of the darkness, with a ring-shaped thing hooked on its tail.Shi Jianchuan bent down, stretched out his hand to the little snake, and the little snake rubbed its head affectionately against his hand, and then handed the ring to his hand.

Lian Qiao recognized at a glance that this snake was the same species as the giant python that robbed Lonicera, and couldn't help being furious: "Shi Jianchuan! What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Shi Jianchuan ignored him, but turned his head and glanced outside the house.It was a mess outside, with dead bodies everywhere.There were strange birds and players, all of which were pierced by long sharp arrows and nailed to the ground.Blood flowed like a river, and the bloody smell that could not be washed away by the majestic heavy rain rushed to the face, making people want to cough.

A pitch-black feather floated in front of his eyes.Shi Jianchuan took it casually, with two fingers lightly twitching, the feather immediately turned into powder and scattered with the wind.

"It's a Gu carving..." Shi Jianchuan sighed faintly, then suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned to Lian Qiao and said, "Time is running out."

Seeing Shi Jianchuan walking towards here, Lian Qiao subconsciously shielded Lian Dong behind her, and said with wide eyes, "What do you want?!"

Shi Jianchuan said: "He asked me to take you away."

Lian Qiao was taken aback: "Him?"

Shi Jianchuan smiled and pointed at the bed: "Yes, Xu Rendong, he asked me to take you away."

"What... what do you mean?" Lian Qiao felt that his brain was down, and he couldn't react for a while, "He asked you to take me away?... You formed an alliance? Then why did you take him away?"

"That's his plan."

Lian Qiao immediately retorted: "You're lying! If he had such a plan, why didn't he discuss it with me in advance?

"Of course there is a reason why I can't tell you." After Shi Jianchuan finished speaking, he glanced outside the house again.The rain outside seems to be a little heavier than before.Shi Jianchuan looked at the rain on the ground that day, and suddenly sighed leisurely, and said to Lian Qiao, "He originally pledged his property and life as collateral, and asked me to take you away. But just now I saw the money in your hand. Things suddenly feel worthless for him."

Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes.The things he took out from his backpack just now are still firmly in his palm.He couldn't help tightening his fingers and gripping it tightly.

Shi Jianchuan said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I won't snatch you. That's your key, it's useless for me to take it."

Lian Qiao's face changed when he heard this: "So you also..."

Needless to say, Shi Jianchuan already understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile.

The tension in Lian Qiao's heart eased a little, but his face turned cold.He let go of his hand, and what lay quietly in his palm was a brass key.

That was the key they found in the copy of "Russian Doll", with the words "Lian Qiao" engraved on it.

Lian Qiao put the key in the backpack and put it away.Seeing his cautious look, Shi Jianchuan shook his head and sighed, "I'm not worth it for him, because he obviously doesn't know what this key means."

Lian Qiao looked indifferent.Xu Rendong would be extremely surprised if he saw such an indifferent expression on that face that often had crooked eyebrows and eyes.

"He doesn't need to know." Lian Qiao said coldly.

Shi Jianchuan sighed again: "That's all." He bent down, and took another ring from the tail of a little white snake that appeared out of nowhere.At the same time, there was an unusually dull creaking sound from the floor under his feet.Lian Qiao's expression changed, and he subconsciously protected Xu Rendong beside him.Shi Jianchuan was calm, and took out a few more rings from his sleeves.

Lian Qiao looked at it coldly, and suddenly said, "Jiulianhuan?"

Shi Jianchuan nodded with a smile, but his hands kept moving: "Yes, Jiulianhuan. The ancient Chinese Jiulianhuan, also known as the 'retaining guest trick', is often a toy for the host to keep guests. It has been passed down to Venice, so I got an interesting alias..."

His ten fingers fluttered, his jade-white fingers shuttled between several rings, and in a short while, nine rings were put on the base in an orderly manner.At the same time, the voice fell.

"A lock without a key."

When Lian Qiao heard this, his heart skipped a beat.The lock without a key originally refers to Jiulianhuan.It's just such remote knowledge, how could Shi Jianchuan know?

Shi Jianchuan seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Yes, I am the key player in this dungeon. This is also my last dungeon."

Lian Qiao was very surprised.He suddenly wanted to ask a lot of questions, but saw a silver light flash in Shi Jianchuan's hand, and the perfectly spliced ​​Nine Links had disappeared.In its place was a small round metal button and a brass key.

That key was in the same shape as the one held by Lian Qiao, the only difference was that the words "Shi Jian Chuan" were engraved on it.

"How could you—" Lian Qiao blurted out, "Have a second key?!"

Shi Jianchuan showed a little surprised look: "The second one? What do you mean?"

Lian Qiao asked suspiciously: "If you have never obtained the key, how would you know the origin of the key? Did someone tell you this secret?"

Shi Jianchuan squinted at him, suddenly understood something, and asked with interest: "Do you not know what you have lost?"

Lian Qiao was taken aback for a moment, feeling that his question was so random that he couldn't understand it at all.Seeing his expression, Shi Jianchuan already got the answer in his heart.So he stopped chatting with him, just waved his sleeves with a smile: "Let's go, open the door. I'll take you away."

Lian Qiao had 1 doubts in his heart, but seeing the whole earthen building rumbling and vibrating, he was afraid that it was about to collapse, so he quickly picked up Xu Rendong on his back, and followed Shi Jianchuan out of the room.

The rain was pouring, and the accumulated water had already overflowed the railing on the second floor, almost pouring in.As soon as Shi Jianchuan's figure moved, he jumped onto the railing, as if he was going to jump into the pool.I think the exit is just under the pool of water.

Lian Qiao suddenly remembered Xu Rendong asking him a few hours ago: Can you swim?How long can it last?

Could it be that……

"What are you in a daze for? Let's go." Shi Jianchuan said lazily, and with a wave of his hand, a giant snake that looked like a white practice had already transformed into an illusion, wrapped around Lian Qiao and Liandong, and dragged them into the water.

The ice-cold pool instantly enveloped the two of them.Lian Qiao held his breath, hugged Xu Rendong with one hand, and pinched Liandong's nose with the other.Liandong was still struggling, but luckily the snow-white python was tightly wrapped around his waist, and he couldn't break free.

Shi Jianchuan was not far below, hooked the snake's head with both hands, and was led down by the giant python.Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the water.Shi Jianchuan didn't even look at it, and with a wave of his hand, several white snakes came out of his sleeves, biting the black shadow head-on.

The black shadow struggled with the white snake, and soon fell behind.The giant python still carried the three of them swimming towards the depths.Soon, the silver-white elevator appeared in front of him.

The three quickly entered the elevator.The elevator door closed behind him, cutting off the cold and dark pool.Listening to the low rumble of the elevator running, Lian Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, there was a light on the neck.He subconsciously reached out to touch it, and the longevity lock was gone.

So this is also a one-time consumption item?

Lian Qiao was feeling sorry, when Xu Rendong who was behind him suddenly groaned softly.Lian Qiao hurried to look, and found that his eyes had finally regained their clarity.Lian Qiao quickly untied the climbing rope on him, carefully tore off the tape on his mouth, and asked eagerly, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Xu Rendong nodded, looked at Shi Jianchuan in a blink of an eye, and said, "Thank you."

"We have a win-win cooperation, what can we be thankful for?" Shi Jianchuan said briskly, "Let's meet again by fate."

At this time, the elevator door opened, and the sky outside was bright, and he had already returned to the present world.Shi Jian put on his long legs and was about to leave, Lian Qiao grabbed him and said, "Wait, I have something to ask you!"

Shi Jianchuan shook him off mercilessly: "I won't tell you."

Lian Qiao was stunned.

Shi Jianchuan said confidently: "I have cleared all the dungeons, and I won't come in again. Whether you two live or die is none of my business."

Lian Qiao: "..." He made a lot of sense.

Xu Rendong coughed, and said to resolve the embarrassment: "In short, thank you. See you again if you are destined."

Shi Jianchuan was very satisfied with Xu Rendong's reaction, and nodded with a smile.Suddenly remembered something, and said to Xu Rendong: "By the way, the puppet is used up. You are right, triggering all the debuffs in one go, even I can't bear it. I am arrogant. The puppet is still I can’t leave you, so I’ll return you an amulet. I drew it myself.”

With that said, he tossed over a small kit.

Xu Rendong picked it up, raised his head and said, "No, you are really strong. Without you, no one can clear this dungeon."

Shi Jianchuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Have you ever thought that it is because of my existence that this copy becomes so difficult?"

Xu Rendong was stunned.Shi Jianchuan laughed loudly, and with one step of his long legs, he left the elevator.

Lian Qiao muttered in a low voice: "Who is it, showing off again..." He took Xu Rendong's hand and stepped out of the elevator together.

The elevator doors closed behind the two of them, and then the entire elevator disappeared out of thin air.In front of me is a warm and familiar home.As soon as I came back here, it seemed that all the cells in my body were relaxed.Lian Qiao collapsed on the sofa as if exhausted, holding his calf and screaming.He threw his crutches in the dungeon, only then did he realize that his leg injury hadn't healed, and immediately acted coquettishly.

Liandong coaxed him for a while, and she also felt quite tired, so she washed and slept with him.The two huddled together under the quilt, both felt as if they had passed away, couldn't help being moved, and got wet all night.

In the early morning, Xu Rendong's mouth was dry, and he went to the kitchen to pour water, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the kit given to him by Shi Jianchuan.Inside is a small wooden sign with a bunch of crooked ghostly symbols on it. I don't know what is written on it.

Ugly as hell.It seems that Ishi Jianchuan really drew it himself.

Xu Rendong smiled slightly, and put away the wooden sign.Suddenly, I found that there was a note hidden in the kit, on which was written a short line:

"Lian Qiao is hiding everything, so I have to guard against it."

Xu Rendong casually threw the note away, rubbed his sore lower back, thinking, you are right, he is indeed hiding something.

Just by looking at his face, I don't know how big he is.The belly is pushed out of shape.
