On the other hand, Huang Donglai came here...
At this time, Huang Donglai, Roman and Balde had already left the organ room and were running on a staircase extending downwards.
They didn't know where the stairs led to, nor did they know what they would encounter if they continued down, but they still stepped as fast as they could, not daring to slow down at all, because at this moment, not far behind them, there was a moving dinosaur skull that was larger than a truck, rolling down the stairs by constantly "opening its mouth".
If the three of them ran a little slower, they would be crushed into pulp by the monster.
"What the hell... It must be that Brother Sun got into trouble again, and then he felt embarrassed so he smashed the mirror himself!" Huang Donglai started to use his experience to dissuade his brothers while running without any evidence.
Although Huang Donglai's guess is consistent with Brother Sun's nature, he did wrong Brother Sun this time.
It is true that the restart of "that ritual" was caused by Sun Yixie, but this was not "unintentional" or intentional, it was purely an accidental result when saving people and killing monsters; as for the mirror, it was naturally not smashed by Brother Sun...
"It's useless for you to say these now. You might as well think about how to get out of this predicament." Balde, who was running on Huang Donglai's left, continued at this time.
Huang Donglai replied: "What can we do? The size of this monster is obviously designed according to this passage. The angle of each roll is just enough to block the space above and on both sides. With the three of us being small, none of us can squeeze behind it... We can only pray that there is no dead end ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Roman, who was running on his right, reminded him in a deep voice: "Watch out ahead!"
Actually, there is nothing to pay attention to...
I think everyone has guessed it - as soon as Huang Donglai said this, there was no way forward.
Of course, there are two types of "no way out": one is encountering a wall, and the other is encountering a cliff...
The three of them were lucky as they encountered a cliff. It was pitch black below the cliff and they didn't know how deep it was, but judging from the echo, they would not reach the bottom within at least five seconds if they jumped down.
So why is it considered good luck to encounter such a cliff?
Look what happened two seconds later... The three of them didn't need to communicate at all, and they ran towards the edges of the stairs on both sides in tacit understanding. Then they "ran out of the stairs" and clung to the edges of the walls on both sides of the cliff.
Just as they were steadying themselves, the huge dinosaur skull also rolled here... This huge object rolling down quickly couldn't be stopped, and in a blink of an eye it rumbled and rolled out of the end of the steps and fell into the cliff in front.
"Huh... Not bad." After climbing back up the stairs, Huang Donglai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just that it's a bit difficult to go back up along this section of stairs."
"Sigh... I wonder if the door we came through is still open." Roman sighed as he pulled Baldra back to the stairs.
What he sighed about mainly was that “the three of them might never be able to return to that small chapel.”
So how did they end up like this? Let me explain it in a few words...
Not long ago, when Sun Yixie accidentally restarted the ceremony, didn't an "earthquake" occur in the inner world? At that time, Huang Donglai and others on this side had no idea what happened in the outer world, and no one could explain to them that this was the beginning of "the boundary between the two worlds is collapsing."
All they knew was that less than a minute after Sun Yixie left the mirror, an earthquake occurred, and then the mirror shattered; Maria, who had been helping them, suddenly started to repeat something they couldn't understand, as if she had lost her mind...
With so many anomalies happening in succession, the three of them must be a little weak, and they all felt that it was not safe to continue staying where they were, so they discussed... whether they could take Maria with them and retreat to the small chapel first.
After all, in their view, the small chapel is an invincible safe house. No matter if there is an earthquake or something else, it is always a good idea to hide in the safe house first.
Unexpectedly, just as Roman was about to step forward to carry Maria, the latter's figure suddenly "faded" and disappeared like a ghost.
Then, the huge organ on the other side of the room began to play by itself, emitting waves of eerie music.
The three of them saw something was wrong. Was this "organ spirit" affected by the anomaly around her and was about to rebel? So let's just leave her alone and retreat.
Then they retreated out the door, returned to a corridor they knew, and ran quickly for another distance.
During this process, the "earthquake" had gradually stopped, and it was at this time that the three of them pushed open a door that they thought was "fine."
But in the end, just like the "door opening accident" that Sun Yixie encountered after the fusion of the two worlds, Huang Donglai, Balde and Roman also accidentally broke into a space they should not have arrived at, and immediately encountered a huge black shadow pressing towards them...
Later, the above-mentioned chase on the stairs happened. Fortunately, the three people finally managed to escape the monster chasing them safely.
however……
Just when the three of them had barely escaped danger and had just caught their breath, the "earthquake"-like phenomenon struck again.
"Oh my god! It's happening again?" Huang Donglai couldn't help but complain again when he saw this. "What's going on this time? Can the situation get any worse?"
The answer is obvious – absolutely, easily!
This time, as soon as Huang Donglai finished speaking, something strange happened.
At that moment, the three of them felt the scene in front of them suddenly shake, and their feet staggered a few steps.
When they steadied themselves and looked carefully, they were surprised to find that the steps in front of them, or rather the entire space... was tilting.
This scene is similar to three ants trapped in a matchbox, experiencing the process of "the matchbox being slowly turned 90 degrees".
Of course, their luck was still good this time, because the inclination direction of the space at this moment was towards the uphill direction they came from, rather than towards the cliff beside them. In other words, they simply experienced a process of "from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain". From this point of view, it should be easier for them to return along the same route in a while.
Unfortunately, a rumbling sound soon reached their ears, reminding them that the huge dinosaur skull that had just fallen off the cliff and "rolled by itself" had rolled back along the cliff wall because of the reversal of space...
At this time, Huang Donglai and his team actually had two choices. One was to run back along the upside-down stairs. The other was to quickly go out from the cliff before the monster entered the passage, because the cliff outside was now equivalent to "flat ground".
However, the approaching monster and inertial thinking made them ignore the second option, and they started running back along the stairs without even thinking...
Soon, the monster blocked the passage again, and Huang Donglai and the other three had to run the same route again in reverse, and the monster chasing them was still the same.
"Fuck it--" Huang Donglai was so angry that he screamed when he was forced to run again, "How can such a thing happen!"
But actually... "this kind of thing" could get even worse.
The three of them ran on the turned stairs for a long time. Just when they thought they could soon return to the "door" from which they came and escape from there, unexpectedly... there was suddenly no way forward.
This time, what appeared at the end of the road was neither a wall nor a cliff...
It's water.
Due to the reversal of space, when they returned to the "top" of the original stairs, it was flooded by water that had overflowed from nowhere.
Looking at the water, a feeling of despair immediately came over Huang Donglai and the other three.
You know, even if the three of them ran quickly on the steps, they couldn't get too far away from the monster chasing them. If they jumped into the water and swam, they would definitely be caught up and crushed to death in minutes.
Taking a step back, even if the monster slowed down after encountering water, they could still keep their distance by swimming. If they couldn't swim to the "door" after a few minutes, they would drown... Taking a step back even if they could swim to the "door" alive, whether the door could be opened under the water pressure, and whether it was possible that the water was pouring out of that door... were all unknown.
"It's over. I'm dead now..." Huang Donglai looked at the water and simply stood there, saying his last words, "Who would have thought that my fame would be ruined by..."
But once again, just as he said this, something unexpected happened...
Guluuluulu——
At this moment, for some reason, a strange sound like blowing into a drink with a straw gradually began to be heard under the water in front of them. As the sound got closer, a lantern-like light and a huge black outline were also approaching at high speed.
"What is it this time?" Bald's first reaction was that there was another monster underwater.
Of course, his judgment was not entirely wrong...
A few seconds later, just as the huge dinosaur skull above the steps had rolled several meters behind the three people and was about to crush them to death, the "thing" under the water suddenly jumped out.
I think all of you have guessed that the "thing" is a very large strange fish, and at this moment there is a trident stuck on its head, and a person is hanging on the other end of the trident.
Sun Yixie is quite resilient. He held on to the handle of the trident underwater and was "pushed" by the dying and violent monster fish all the way through a "reverse water ski dive" that lasted for several minutes, and he was still able to stay conscious.
This brings us to the fact that his "Turning the Universe Upside Down" is truly valuable. If he hadn't been forced to try it today, he wouldn't have known that he could hold his breath for so long.
It is also said that although the strange fish is large in size, it is still smaller than the pile of dinosaur skulls above that basically fill the entire passage, so the three people on the stairs only need to stick to the wall to immediately avoid the monster rushing out of the water.
then……
wow——
At the moment the strange fish came out of the water, Sun Yixie, who was hanging on the fish's head, and Huang Donglai, who was standing against the wall, made eye contact, and they both shouted "Fuck!" in their hearts.
Of course, this is not a swear word born out of anger or fear.
As we all know, people will swear when they are hopeful, especially when they are in desperate situations.
"Be careful behind you!" Even though he was cursing, in that split second, Huang Donglai immediately remembered to remind Sun Yixie of the current danger.
Since he was "pushed" out of the water upside down, Sun Yixie had his back to the top of the stairs after he came out of the water, and he couldn't see what was behind him at all. But since Huang Donglai shouted so, he didn't need to look...
At that moment, Sun Yixie in mid-air immediately adjusted his posture, kicked and pulled with his legs, and pulled the trident out of the head of the strange fish.
While he was drawing his halberd, he had actually already launched his attack...
Sun Yixie used a technique similar to "Iai", taking advantage of the momentum of the trident popping out of the fish's head and swinging it fiercely towards the back.
The huge dinosaur skull was neatly split in half by this move, killing it instantly and no longer "rolling with its mouth open". The strange fish that rushed out of the water just happened to hit the dinosaur skull, stopping the last bit of its momentum and also taking its last breath.
However, because this place is a slope after all, the bodies of the two monsters began to slide down slowly after a few seconds. Therefore, Huang Donglai and the other three, as well as Sun Yixie who jumped away after completing the attack, could only swim a few meters towards the water surface to avoid being crushed by the two corpses.
"Brother Sun, there is something. It's just the right time for you!" After escaping from danger, Huang Donglai immediately praised Sun Yixie. After all, the latter had really made a contribution. Huang Donglai knew that if he didn't express his gratitude in time, he would be attacked in the face.
Of course, Sun Yixie was fully aware of Huang Donglai's thoughts, so he immediately jumped up and said, "Humph... As expected, you can't do it alone without me. If I had come a little later, I'm afraid you would have become mashed potatoes, right? Ah? Hahahaha..."
Because Roman and Sun Yixie had seen each other's appearance when they communicated through the "mirror" before, there was no need for them to repeat too many introductions. After Sun and Huang exchanged a few words, Roman suggested that Sun Yixie use the trident to smash the corpse of the monster in front and open a path. They could talk about anything else after they left the water.
Sun Yixie also thought that what he said made sense, so he quickly made a way through and returned to the stairs together with Huang Donglai, Roman, and Balde through the wreckage.
But this castle was small enough. The four of them had just "gone ashore" to rest for two minutes and hadn't even said a few words when a new round of "vibration" came again.
And this time, the space "turned back" again.
The difference from before was that this passage was now connected to part of the "underground waters". As a result, the four of them were soon like foreign objects flushed down a toilet... and were washed to the side with the cliff by the water flowing back from the passage.
