my stealth fighter

Chapter 1384 Suspicious
The ape-man counselor twisted in pain in the flames. The burning wooden bookshelf could not support its weight and collapsed. The study room was filled with smoke, fly ash and disgusting smell, but there was a lack of combustion aids. The flame was too small. He won't die for a while, but it's impossible to survive. He can only die slowly. Every inch of skin on his body will either be burned, or blistered and burst. This process is simply like Ling Chi.

Jiang Chanji released an arc of electricity from his hands, which instantly penetrated its heart, causing it to stop struggling. Although its limbs occasionally twitched, it was already dead.

He tends to believe that the logical inconsistency may lie in Pasenkova's omission of certain details. It may not be that she deliberately concealed it from him or deliberately omitted it, but that she encountered some things that she could not translate or that she encountered during the translation process. It is normal to not understand something. After all, she is not a professional translator. Even a professional translator will be confused when encountering two seemingly different languages.

"Now I have to save the major and the ape girl." He walked out of the study, put on the mask that Eve had sewn, and threw the spare pair to her.

Pasenkova instinctively reached out and took it, found it was a mask, and said with an angry smile: "What's the use of this thing? Maybe I won't survive today!"

"I don't know." He admitted, "Even if it's a psychological effect, not wearing it is like accepting your fate, but wearing it feels like... maybe you can still survive."

After saying that, he entered the invisible state and disappeared. Pasenkova had thrown the mask to the ground, walked a few steps and then stopped. She hesitated for a few seconds, and used telekinesis to pick it up before the flames reached the mask.

Jiang Chanji had just contacted Fu Su and learned that Yi Xing and the others were approaching the Narrow Sea and would soon cross the Narrow Sea to the Southern Continent. It was estimated that when he took the major and the ape girl to leave the underground world, they would be almost there too. arrive.

The underground world was in a mess, and there were almost no apes in sight. Even if he occasionally encountered one or two apes, they were running out in panic with weapons. He even saw some apes carrying infant apes on their backs. Baby, do you even want to go to the battlefield like this?His outlook was refreshed again. This was simply not about fighting, but about dying... It was conceivable that all the apes had been mobilized for military conscription, leaving no escape route for themselves or any kind of fire. He was suddenly able to Now I understand that the counselor who set himself on fire just now is not that he is crazy, but that all the apes except him are crazy, or are "forced" to be crazy.

All the adult flying manta rays in the underground lake have also disappeared, and all the fishing boats have been scuttled, forming a natural barrier. This means that it is impossible to cross the underground lake by normal means, but this does not trouble him and Pasenkova. , after flying over the underground lake one after another, they came to the core of the underground world.

Occasionally, you can encounter a few apes on the periphery of the underground lake. There is no one in the core area, so there is no need to be invisible. The only reason why he remains invisible is because he is worried that Pasenkova will sneak up on him. The width of the tunnel is not enough for the two of them. Keeping a safe distance and walking side by side, and he didn't want to walk in front of her, he was careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

He didn't see a single figure all the way to the underground palace. The underground palace was spacious enough. He saw that the ape girl was still tied to the altar. He released his invisibility, but did not go inside immediately.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to save someone?" Pasenkova also entered the palace and put on a mask at some point.

Jiang Chanji looked around, "...I always feel that this journey has been too smooth."

"...Why don't you act so good despite getting the advantage! If you hadn't been able to become invisible, do you think you could have come in so smoothly?" Pasenkova snorted coldly, thinking that he was too suspicious.

"Having said that, there aren't even any guards here..." He was still feeling vaguely uneasy. If he fought all the way in, he wouldn't be suspicious. But now, he is Jerry, and there is a mousetrap with cheese in front of him. The premonition is getting stronger.He can survive to this day, in addition to You Qisi's great contribution and the generous help of his friends. If he has any contribution, it is probably that he rarely underestimates the enemy. However, sometimes even though he does not underestimate the enemy, it turns out in the end He still underestimated.

"The Puppet King himself has gone out, and of course his personal bodyguards will follow him." Pasenkova, or the ancestor of the ape-man, did not have the unlucky experience of having his teeth jammed after drinking cold water many times, and naturally she would not be like him. of caution.

Jiang Chanji looked up and down, left and right, and found nothing suspicious. He thought about it and asked, "Did you set a trap for me that time before?"

Pasenkova's expression changed, "So what?"

Seeing that she was getting angry, he waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to fight with you. I just want to ask, what kind of trap is it? Is it a hole dug under the altar?"

She nodded with a straight face.

"What's in the pit?" he asked, and as expected, Youqisi was right.

"...Sand mixed with lime, to force you to show up." She replied stiffly.

This may not be as simple as forcing him to show up. If he does not close his eyes and hold his breath in time, the lime and sand will have a great impact and damage on his breathing and vision, enough to cause him to lose most of his combat capabilities.

"You're not invisible now, so that thing has no effect at all, right?" She defended with a hint of embarrassment, "If you're worried, I can just go over and bring her over. I don't have time to keep nagging you here! "

As she said that, she was about to fly over.

"Wait! You help my major get out of the water, and I'll go rescue the ape girl." He called her to stop. Standing here suspiciously all the time was really not an option, but he would feel worse if she lost the chance to save people.

Pasenkova was furious and scolded him countless times for being capricious and mother-in-law, but now was not the time for internal strife. She sulked and used telekinesis to fish Major Granite out of the water.Jiang Chanji had already flown above the altar. He looked back and was pleasantly surprised to find that the major's right arm had initially recovered. Although the proportion of thickness was seriously out of proportion compared to the left arm, the bones seemed to have grown fully and the body was floating with the blessing of the queen bee. The Empty Lantern Hatchlings work too efficiently.

His attention returned to the altar. The ape girl was in a comatose state. She had lost weight and looked haggard. It must have been difficult for her these past few days.

"I always feel like there's something wrong," he said to Youqisi.

You Qisi responded: "I haven't noticed any abnormalities for the time being."

Is that so?So he is really worrying too much?

"But maybe you should trust your instincts." Youqisi added.

Pasenkova shouted: "You want to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"

Jiang Chanji was hesitant, but with You Qisi's support, he decided not to take action yet. Instead, he used telekinesis to scoop up a handful of water and poured it on the ape girl's face.

The ape girl woke up, opened her eyes and saw him.

Jiang Chanji pulled off his mask, forced a smile and said, "Yuan Yuan, it's me, I'm here to save you..."

In an instant, the ape girl's entire expression changed, and she shouted in panic: "Run! Run! Down below! Down below!"

At the same time, Youqisi warned at the highest volume: "There is the smell of sulfur and saltpeter! There are explosives buried under the altar!"

Jiang Chanji's mind buzzed, but he didn't expect that the mask blocked the smell. You Qisi didn't realize it until now. The smell must be very subtle, because he still didn't smell anything.

The adrenaline in his body was secreting crazily. At this time of life and death, he did not choose to escape immediately, but released all his telekinesis. A large amount of water between the inner and outer circles of the palace rose up as if it had lost gravity. He struck down in the air and hit the floor next to the altar with one punch, easily breaking through the floor. More than ten tons of water had moved to the top of the altar and poured down.

At this moment when time seemed to stand still, he saw that a large pit had indeed been dug under the altar, but instead of lime and sand, the pit contained packets of black gunpowder wrapped in animal skins. There was an ape-man holding one in each hand. A piece of flint, the flints had collided together, and his modified eyes could clearly see several sparks shooting out from between the flints and falling in all directions.

This was another race against death. He didn't know whether Mars would detonate the explosives first or whether water would extinguish Mars first. Only time would know the answer, but he saw the mocking smile of the ape-man solidified on his face. It probably didn't To think that he could react in time.

The next moment, the pit was filled with water, and the body of the ape-man whose neck was broken by the water floated out together with the overflowing black water.

Both Jiang Chanji and Yuan Nu were soaked by the water. Of course, even if he wasn't soaked by the water, he must have been soaked with sweat. His hands are still shaking even now.

He was too close to death just now. In this closed underground world, with such a close explosion and such a large amount of explosives, he couldn't survive even if he was invisible, because the explosion would definitely destroy the palace, and he couldn't be invisible to the earth. The only thing The end result is to be smashed to death.

"What's going on?" Pasenkova's surprised voice came from the entrance of the palace.

He wiped some water from his face, turned to look at her, and said, "It's explosives. This ape-man wants to blow us up."

He believed that Pasenkova did not know about it, let alone participate in it, because once it exploded, she would be buried with her, and no matter how strong her telekinesis was, she could not withstand the landslide.

After all, I didn’t expect that ape-men actually invented gunpowder. It’s actually not that surprising. After all, they dig underground all day long. It’s normal to dig out saltpeter and sulfur, and then occasionally find these two minerals mixed with charcoal. It can ignite or even explode. Maybe part of the excavation work in the underground world involves using explosives to dig out mountains and dig out the ground.

He didn't even expect that the mask Eve kindly sewed for him almost killed him. Otherwise, Youqisi would have analyzed the black powder particles floating in the air earlier. Of course, this is not Eve's fault, she can only blame... Unlucky for him.
