The two old kings put the overall situation first for the time being, reached a settlement, and continued to lead the way.
As for Cheng Xin, Douhu specifically monitored him to prevent him from playing any tricks.
The eight people walked forward in the maze of branches that crossed each other, sometimes climbing and sometimes jumping, and finally arrived at the top of the entire underground space. As long as everyone stood on tiptoe and reached out their hands, they could touch the cold rock walls of the dome.
Gao Yang added a handful of fire to the palm of his hand, illuminating the surrounding scene more and more. He immediately said alertly: The branches are moving.
Everyone also discovered that the branches that pierced into the dome were slowly squirming, and they fell from time to time with fine stone chips.
Judging from the direction of the branches waving, they are shrinking.
Everything shows that the focus of the entire space is shifting toward the roots and the ground.
The branches bearing the load under everyone's feet were also squirming, and the eight people had to keep moving their steps to barely maintain the same position.
Where is the exit?Douhu looked at one of the old kings.
It will appear soon.Lao Wang said, you will know in a while.
Sure?The white rabbit is skeptical.
There are thousands of pictures in my mind, and I have tried all kinds of escape routes. Believe me, this is the only exit.Lao Wang, who was injured on his forehead, said.
Everyone looked at Cheng Xin at the same time.
Cheng Xin nodded quickly, Yes, this is the only exit, otherwise I wouldn't have climbed up the tree.
Then there is waiting.
For Lao Wang and Cheng Xin, they have seen countless selves in countless branches of time and experienced countless success or failures.
But for the five people in the twelve zodiac signs, it is their first experience, and this is also their only chance.
Failure is death.
The waiting was even more painful than I imagined. The feet were getting brighter and brighter, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker. Even the flames in Gao Yang's hands began to become pale and powerless. It swayed weakly, barely spreading a circle of light, reflecting everyone's faces with different expressions.
In this suffocating darkness, Douhu suddenly broke the silence: Cheng Xin, why did you lie to us into the tree hole?
Not me!That's another me!Cheng Xin hurriedly defended.
No difference.Douhu's tone is gloomy. I'll give you another chance, it's better to be honest.
Cheng Xin began to be nervous and did not dare to look Douhu in the eyes: I killed two groups. Even if I escaped, I will be a sinner in the organization in the future. So I want to take away the runes, repay the merits, and then turn the blame on Lao Wang, but...
Cheng Xin looked at Douhu and dared not say anything more.
However, Douhu smiled and took over: You know you are not capable of taking over the whole body, so you might as well trick us into the tree hole, so that countless people will run out of the tree hole, and you can escape with runes while the chaos.
……yes.
Pooh!As soon as Cheng Xin finished speaking, Lao Wang and the injured Lao Wang spit on Cheng Xin's face at the same time.
Bastard!If it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't stand firm here, I really wanted to smash your chin!
I said it!Cheng Xin who lied to you was dead!Cheng Xin defended excitedly: If you have a wrongdoing, you have a debt and a master. Go and hate him, don’t hate me!I didn't lie to you, and I even got the runes for you!
You just don’t have to choose. If you have to choose, you will still harm us!White Rabbit despises her very much. What she hates the most is the person who betrays her companions.
Baitu suggested: Let's push him down, why should he leave Ah alive? I see that the damnest person in the 2nd group is him.
agree.Qingling said.
I'm counting one vote.Officer Huang was also full of righteous indignation. If it weren't for this vicious Cheng Xin, Lao Wang wouldn't have appeared, let alone the five of them were almost hit.
I have no objection.Gao Yang raised his hand.
You, you can't do this to me, I did nothing!
Cheng Xin panicked, and he looked at Douhu: Please, don’t kill me, I will give you runes too, I really just want to survive now...
Don't worry, let's talk about it when you go out.Douhu's unexpected tolerance and generosity surprised Gao Yang. He originally thought Douhu would push him down with his own hands.
A faint light flashed in Douhu's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the two old Wangs: The most urgent task is to decide whether Lao Wang will stay or not.
For a moment, several people were silent.
No matter how you escape, the decision that should come will always come.
Douhu sighed in embarrassment: Although I am not very educated, I at least know that this is a special space created by the runes of time and space. In normal space, it is impossible for you two to exist at the same time.
Both old kings did not say anything, their faces turned pale.
In the fight, it is difficult for you two to decide the outcome, and there is no place for you to perform; in the case of reasoning, no one can convince anyone.
Douhu's fingertips turn into a coin, it's better to leave it to fate.
The two old kings looked at each other, and after a brief hesitation, they spoke in unison: Yes, I want to face the front.
Forget it, I want to have the opposite side.Lao Wang, who was injured on his forehead, said.
OK, one-time decision.
Douhu gently threw out the coin, connected the back of his left hand and covered the palm of his right hand.
In just two seconds, everyone held their breath and hung their hearts.
The two old kings stared at Douhu's hands with their eyes trembling and cold sweat flowed.
Douhu slowly uncovered the back of his hand, and the coin was on the back.
Lao Wang, who was injured on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and tears poured out of his eyes: Thank God.
Lao Wang stared at the coin blankly, his eyes were red and his face was full of reluctance.
Suddenly, he looked at Douhu with a fierce look: You cheated!Can you decide whether the front and back of the coin are right?
Douhu looked at Lao Wang silently, the light of the flames became weaker and weaker, and a trace of ruthless murderous intent passed in his eyes: Lao Wang, you don’t belong to this, you belong to the world five minutes later, don’t force me.
But, but I am also Lao Wang Ah!You can't treat me like this... Lao Wang cried, his nose, tears flowed all over, and he looked so cowardly and so pity.
He grabbed Officer Huang and begged: Lao Huang, I can't die here. I still have my wife and children. Please help me, I beg you...
Officer Huang said goodbye: Lao Wang, I'm sorry.
Lao Wang, Lao Wang, who had a wound on his forehead, looked at his other self: I understand your mood, but I will not give in. This is my world...
Before he finished speaking, a heavy tremor suddenly came from the entire space.
The tremor does not come from any direction, but is everywhere.
Gao Yang felt a strange force explode from his chest, almost tearing him apart. The flame in his hand disappeared, and he leaned back in a dizzy mood.
In a critical moment, he grabbed him firmly with his hands on his left and right, and was the Qingling and Police Officer Huang beside him.
Grasp each other!
Douhu shouted, but his voice was as faint as if it was a cliff.
Everyone held hands and formed a circle.
At the same time, an incredible gravity came from everyone's feet, as if thousands of invisible hands were pulling them down and falling down.
Ahahah！
Everyone was dying to resist the terrible gravity, screaming loudly.
It was pitch black all around, with only the strange white light coming from the depths of the soles of my feet.
Suddenly, Gao Yang's vision became clear.
He looked up with difficulty, and the dome disappeared, replaced by a deep and lonely void. A white halo was suspended in the void. It was like an ethereal jellyfish, transforming into countless slender white tentacles, spreading around.
They stretch and shrink, as if they are breathing.
As for Cheng Xin, Douhu specifically monitored him to prevent him from playing any tricks.
The eight people walked forward in the maze of branches that crossed each other, sometimes climbing and sometimes jumping, and finally arrived at the top of the entire underground space.
