Chapter 365 Closing the Stone Gate (Part [-])
Fortunately, Wu Chen came in time, he grabbed Xing Yun's arm and threw him back to another snake's nest. If Xing Yun hadn't turned around forcibly, he would have been entangled with the snake in the nest at this moment, exchanging heartfelt love .

But Xing Yun was still shocked by the scene he saw in front of him, he got up immediately, and just about to complain, he saw the thing in the fire ditch arched its body and shook, countless flames flew over, Xing Yun waved his arms block.

At this time, Wu Chen had already twisted his waist and fell back beside the black python. The black python had just been pricked by the silver needles, and was hit by Wu Chen's force from top to bottom, and was kicked by Wu Chen mercilessly. One kick, it was just when it was angry, it was about to throw the snake's tail out of the snake's nest in an instant, but there was a movement in the fire ditch, the black python retracted the snake's tail obediently, and slowly retreated to the snake's nest.

Wu Chen waved an arm to block the flames, but his eyes were looking for the old man.

The old man thought it would be good to hurt Xing Yun instead of Wu Chen. Since Wu Chen dared to block the tunnel entrance, he should have a way to open it. Don't care how to get out, as long as those two people can take Huo Ran away, he will still have a chance.

Unexpectedly, Xing Yun is not a vegetarian, not only dodged the silver needle, but also alarmed Huo Ran, all this was said slowly, but it took only a few breaths when it happened, the old man realized that something was wrong, and what he thought of was Go back to the stone gate along the original road, close the stone gate and leave.

But the old man knew that he was seriously injured, and wanted to go back against the wall without alarming Huo Ran, but he was afraid he couldn't, but now that Huo Ran was about to move, could he take advantage of the chaos and try boldly?
The old man changed his shape to hide from the flames, thinking in his mind, Wu Chen had already looked over.

The old man felt a chill in his heart, and said: "Huo Ran is alarmed now, let's find a way to escape first, if you keep staring at me, you will only be buried with me!"

Wu Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead, and suddenly waved his palm at the old man. The old man didn't dare to take it hard, and he lay down in an instant, then stood up strangely and did not forget to wave his palm at Wu Chen. The fourth child entered Shimen.

……

The conversation between the sophomore and Xing Yun gave Wu Chen some inspiration:
"It's dying! What the hell is a poisonous snake, I'll throw it over for you to play with?" Xing Yun said.

"What's the use of throwing it to me, whoever hits you, whoever you throw it to!" Senior sophomore.

Wu Chen jumped into the air to avoid the palm of the old man, and took a few steps towards the side of the stone gate wall in the air. The sophomores saw Wu Chen, and Wu Chen also saw them.

"Go out and close the stone gate!"

Wu Chen yelled and landed.

"No!" The old man yelled anxiously: "This is the only way out right now, if we close it, we will all die!"

Wu Chen walked under the wall and touched the bricks and stones on the wall. He didn't know if it was because of the winter, or this kind of bricks and stones were inherently cold. Wu Chen just touched them and felt a biting chill.

He turned to the old man and said:

"You are so old, do you care about life and death? It's the same wherever you die. You don't have to dig a hole if you die here. Second brother, the three of you go out and close the stone gate. Don't bother us. Remember to come and burn it for us every year on Qingming Festival." Some paper money."

The sophomore believed it, and roared with a sore nose: "If you die, we all die together! I won't leave you alone!"

Xing Yun was a little further away, but he could hear clearly, and shouted, "Why is he the only one left? I'm not a human being?"

As soon as he finished yelling, the thing in the fire ditch rolled again, and the flames flew around. Xing Yun ran towards Wu Chen while avoiding the flames.

Seeing that Huo Ran was very restless, the old man took a deep breath and persuaded: "We can go out together, and it won't be too late to fight after we go out. As long as Huo Ran leaves the fire ditch, there is no need to fight at all, and we will be reduced to ashes immediately..."

"Let's be reduced to ashes, what will happen to the treasure chest? Nothing will happen, right? If something happens, I came down to provoke it before, and it chased it out, but the treasure chest is still there, and you are here too, which shows that the treasure chest is not afraid of fire, not only the treasure chest Don’t be afraid, the bricks and stones around here are not afraid, you sent people to open the tunnel, you should know that the walls here are unusual, why didn’t you think of finding some similar stones for preparation?”

"What you said is simple! Is the ice stone so easy to find?" After finishing speaking, the old man looked at the fire ditch again, and said anxiously: "If we shout here, it will also make Huo Ran uneasy. I'll poke my head out from time to time..."

"What if the two of us can run, but you can't?" Wu Chen turned to look at the second grader, but pointed to the entrance of the tunnel and urged, "Second brother, just don't worry and close the stone gate, Huo Ran can't hurt me!"

The sophomore opened his mouth, turned his head and said to the third and fourth child, "Close the door!"

The third child asked worriedly: "Really keep the lord?"

The sophomore gritted his teeth and said, "We will do whatever Brother Wu tells us to do!"

The fourth child said stubbornly: "I won't go, I'll go to help the Lord..."

"What can you help me? Flying over the fire ditch is difficult. This old man is almost mature, so he can only fly over. Now he can't fly back after being hit by me. You stay here, nothing but worrying me However, closing the Shimen can help me a lot, don’t underestimate the Shimen, it’s up to you to be able to close it.”

The old man became even more anxious: "Why are you so refusing to listen to advice?! The tunnel entrance has been destroyed by you, if you close the stone gate, there is really no way out!"

Wu Chen saw that the fourth child didn't say any more, and followed the second and third senior to close the Shimen busily, then turned to look at the old man and said with a smile, "I will die here if there is no way out. Are there any regrets when we are old? At most, we are dead, and the treasure chest is cheaper for others.

The old man was so angry that his white eyebrows almost stood up. Don't say that he has no way to hurt Wu Chen at this time, even if he had him, he wouldn't dare. There is no way out. Huo Ran sticks his head out when he smells blood, and he will die with him. .

"Don't worry, don't be angry at such an old age, be careful not to be burned to death, and you will be a little disappointed. Is there really no other exit from this place? I don't believe it! You have studied it for so many years, how could you Don't you have an extra exit?"

"You, don't you think I'm bluffing you? You thought there was another exit here to make them close the stone gate? You, do you know that this wall brick is ice stone, a stone that can only be found in extremely cold places. It’s cold and extremely hard, and it took two years to dig this tunnel entrance, how can we make another exit?! If you don’t let them stop, we will all die here!”

While talking, the old man walked towards Wu Chen, Xing Yun immediately ran over to block Wu Chen.

Wu Chen turned his head to watch the senior two and the others slowly close the stone door, as if it didn't take any effort at all. Wu Chen felt more at ease. The second grader should have seen his gesture. There is only a fire ditch between them, and the brightness should be enough. Based on the fact that I have experienced so many things with myself in the second year of high school, I should understand what he means.
