Chapter 232: Mysterious Pothole
Chapter 232: Mysterious Pothole
“What a powerful monster. What a powerful aura!” Although they hadn’t seen the monster beast yet, the aura in the roar couldn’t be faked. Although the aura of this intensity was already very weak, Zhou Ping still had a feeling of being suppressed.
“What kind of monster is it?” Zhou Ping sensed the aura of the beast roar and said nothing for a long time.
“This monster’s cry is wrong!” listening to the roar of the monster beast, Wu Jingxian suddenly said.
“Of course something is wrong.” Zhou Ping rolled his eyes. The obvious anger in this roar could even be sensed by a fool. Sound could also convey emotions.
Roar!
The roar of the monster beast kept ringing on the grassland. Zhou Ping wanted to leave, but Wu Jingxian stopped him.
“Aren’t you curious?” Wu Jingxian looked at Zhou Ping.
“What are you curious about?” Zhou Ping looked indifferent.
“Curious what makes this monster beast so angry,” Wu Jingxian said.
“Have you ever heard of the sentence, curiosity killed the cat.” Zhou Ping said. “I don’t know why this monster beast is so angry, but I know that this monster beast is definitely not easy to provoke. The aura contained in its roar makes me tremble.”
Zhou Ping looked at Wu Jingxian. “Life is not a TV series. There is no life for the protagonist. If you are too curious, you will really die.”
Wu Jingxian hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed. “You’re right.”
The two did not move on and changed direction instead.
However, there were some things that they couldn’t avoid if they wanted to.
Roar!
The monster’s roar sounded again. It was still very angry, but this time, Zhou Ping’s expression suddenly changed.
The monster beast moved closer to his side.
.
“Run!” Without hesitation, Zhou Ping got Wu Jingxian and ran away.
Roar!
The monster’s roar was getting closer and closer, and Zhou Ping even felt his body tremble.
“I have always put pressure on others, but I didn’t expect to feel it today.” Zhou Ping smiled bitterly and hurriedly changed direction.
However, the monster beast seemed to recognize him and changed its direction too.
Hearing a loud roar from behind, Zhou Ping couldn’t even smile wryly.
“Never let the monster beast catch up.” Zhou Ping knew deeply what the difference in levels meant.
If they met, he might not even be able to resist its aura. After all, the strength of the aura facing the front and the coercion felt from far away was not the same thing at all.
“We must find a place to hide, otherwise we will definitely be caught.”
Being caught meant the end. Zhou Ping knew it well. But on this vast grassland, where could they hide?
As Zhou Ping was running at full strength, he suddenly loosened his feet.
Whew!
A pothole with a diameter of at least two meters suddenly appeared under Zhou Ping’s feet. If it weren’t for Zhou Ping’s quick response, he would fall. But even if they didn’t fall, Zhou Ping and Wu Jingxian stumbled severely.
Pooh…
He turned over and got up. Zhou Ping spat the grass clippings in his mouth.
Roar!
A powerful aura came over. Zhou Ping felt suffocated, and his head was dizzy. Wu Jingxian was worse, and she fainted when she rolled her eyes.
“This is over.” Zhou Ping bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and the sharp pain made him wake up.
Although the monster hadn’t appeared yet, it was obvious that they couldn’t escape now.
“What to do?” Zhou Ping’s gaze swept over the big hole that suddenly appeared.
The deep pit was unfathomable, and the dark opening seemed to be able to swallow everything.
However, Zhou Ping’s eyes became bright.
“This may be the only way to survive.” At this time, it was too much to think, Zhou Ping drew Wu Jingxian’s longsword, removed Wu Jingxian’s long coat, and put Wu Jingxian on his back. He tied Wu Jingxian with the coat and jumped into the big pit.
At the moment when he jumped into the big pit, the monster beast happened to arrive, and Zhou Ping finally saw the monster beast chasing them.
This monster beast was like a saber-toothed tiger, but it had a circle of bone spurs on its neck and a row of bone spurs on its back.
With a quick glance, Zhou Ping fell into a big hole.
Quickly insert the longsword into the pit wall continuously from left to right, and then quickly pull it out to slow down the speed of their fall. It’s impossible in reality that a long sword was stuck on the wall of the pit and it didn’t move. If they really wanted to do that, either the long sword would be broken, or the longsword would not be grasped due to the acceleration of gravity.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, Zhou Ping only felt that he had fallen into the stars, but he finally landed safely. Wu Jingxian had her own buffer, so she didn’t suffer the slightest harm. Instead, she woke up in shock.
“Where is this?”
The cave was pitch black, and Wu Jingxian’s voice contained a hint of instinctual fear.
“At the bottom of the pit.” Zhou Ping said, dispelling the trace of Wu Jingxian’s fear.
Fumbling to untie the coats tied to the two of them, Zhou Ping wrapped the coat around the long sword again while fumbling, and then Zhou Ping stepped back, holding the long sword in his left hand and rubbing the coat with his right hand.
Boom!
The coat on the long sword was instantly ignited, and the flames illuminating the dark bottom of the pit.
Zhou Ping once used this trick to light wood for a bonfire and barbecue. Although it was not wood that had been ignited today, Zhou Ping still ignited his coat in a familiar manner.
With the help of the fire, Zhou Ping finally saw the bottom of the pit clearly. At the bottom of the pit, there was also a passage with a row of oil lamps on both sides.
There was no electricity here, only oil lamps.
Zhou Ping was overjoyed. This obviously meant that someone was living in it, which meant that there must be a way out here.
Just two steps forward, Zhou Ping stopped abruptly.
There were mechanisms on this path, and it is still active. Don’t forget, Zhou Ping had already achieved great success in mechanism skills as early as the first level of the special department assessment. Although the mechanisms were exquisite, they were old-fashioned. In Zhou Ping’s eyes, they could be cracked with a wave of hands.
But Zhou Ping didn’t plan to crack the mechanism, because there was obviously a way left in this mechanism.
“Follow me and don’t go around, there are mechanisms here.” Zhou Ping confessed to Wu Jingxian and walked forward.
First walking to the wall, Zhou Ping fumbled and felt the wall for a while, then he slammed it down in one place.
Bang bang bang…
The oil lamps on both sides of the passage all lit up.
With oil lamps to illuminate their path, naturally no torch was needed anymore. Putting out the simple torch, he drew Wu Jingxian’s longsword and returned it to her.
But the longsword was a bit miserable now. Part of the cutting edge had irregular curling, so this sword was already considered useless.
