The fighting became more and more intense, and I became more and more frightened.

At this time, not only the masked man's body became thick and huge, but the bluish black that originally covered his face also quickly spread to his whole body, coating those bulging muscles with jet black, making him look more like a It was a bison.Moreover, it was a bison completely insane.

No matter whether I was punching, kicking, or stabbing with a knife, the masked man would not dodge or evade, completely resisting all attacks with his black and strong body.His body seemed to have lost all pain, even though he was bleeding profusely at this moment, he still didn't care, just stared at me with a pair of red eyes and punched me fiercely.His attack has no rules, it is simply rampage driven by instinct.The strangest thing is that his eyes seem to be locked on my head by some inexplicable force, and almost every punch goes straight there, as if my head is the piece of red cloth that the matador is pulling in his hand , is completely the root of all his madness.

Under such a crazy attack, I naturally didn't dare to keep my hand anymore, and immediately threw aside the idea of ​​capturing alive, and fought this madman with all my strength.Although this guy's attack, which seemed to be possessed by a demon, was extremely fierce, his bison-like body was also very resistant.However, my full attack is still not what this lunatic who is completely controlled by instinct can resist. Once I let go of my hands and feet, his madness will naturally not last long.

After dozens of seconds, our bodies suddenly stopped, as abruptly as a stuck movie film.A burst of bright red burst out from the side of the masked man's neck, leaping into the air with a slight "chucking" sound, and then scattered everywhere like petals shattered by a rainstorm, splashing patches of mottled spots on the ground.

With a muffled "bang", the masked man's black and huge body fell straight to the ground, and then shrunk rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.In the blink of an eye, it returned to its original appearance.However, the bluish-black color on his body did not fade away, forming a stark contrast with the increasingly thicker crimson below him.

I flicked the short knife lightly to shake off the blood wandering on the blade, then I couldn't help sighing, walking towards the motionless masked man full of depression.

His eyes were still red.However, the pair of protruding eyeballs have froze, and the pupils have slowly expanded.The last knife slashed open his throat, took his life in an instant, and completely ended his madness.Of course, it also threw me back into the vortex of puzzles.

The "tongue" can no longer speak, and there is no one to solve the doubts that are stuck in my heart.I can only try to find clues and answers on his corpse, but, judging from previous encounters, I don't have much hope for this matter.The results were as expected.Although I turned up and down for a long time, I didn't find anything useful on him except for some weapons and simple belongings.These guys in desert camouflage uniforms are like a group of dead soldiers. They are crazy and indifferent, and they are the same to others and themselves. They will not leave anything that can be traced.

"Big Wood, how are you? Are you injured?" Xiaoqian walked over cautiously, trying to avoid the nearly decapitated corpse.The strong smell of blood made her pretty face pale as paper.

I shook my head, indicating that I was fine.Then he pulled Xiao Qian up and walked quickly towards the stairs in the corner of the room.The anxiety in my heart became more and more intense.The rummaging of the corpse just now did not find the item that mutated the masked man, not even a single suspected item.This situation undoubtedly confirms my guess - that kind of thing should be an item that they will use when they finally fight for their lives, and everyone should have only one on their body.

This answer is extremely bad.There were four masked men boarding the "Batihar" on Jiu'er, and after removing the one I killed just now, there were three left.No one knows how many blood disciples there are among them, nor how many such dead soldiers there are.Of course I don't know where they are now.Since this masked man can appear in front of me without anyone noticing, then of course other people can also launch surprise attacks on my teammates.I really can't imagine what will happen when my teammates encounter this kind of crazy bison-like enemy.You know, not everyone has the power to completely suppress this "mad cow" like me...

Xiaoqian and I quickly walked to the stairs.I raised my head and looked up, and found that I could only see a dozen or so steps from my current position, and the place further up was hidden in a dark red, I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't know how many steps long.What surprised me even more was that the place I stepped on turned out to be a solid ground, and there were no stairs leading to the lower floor at all.

The stairs leading to the lower floor are not here, so where is it?Is it in the doors that we haven't checked?What is the purpose of such a weird design?What was this place originally used for?

The unexpected situation filled me with doubts, but I didn't have time to think about it at this time.I quickly stopped my suspicions, and walked up the stairs cautiously with Xiaoqian.Our speed is very slow, almost a step at a time.The weirdness of the enemy made me have to be careful.When I entered the room just now, I didn't find anything suspicious in the empty room at all, but that guy like a mad cow suddenly appeared in front of me.In fact, I haven't figured out how he appeared until now, so I'm naturally a little confused.

No matter how slow the speed is, the journey will eventually be completed.Just when I silently counted to eighty in my heart, the soles of my boots left the last step and stepped firmly on the ground.Along the way, we did not encounter any danger again.This situation somewhat annoys me.Of course, I am not a fighting fanatic, but in my mind, I hope that those weird "camouflage uniforms" will only find me.In this case, my teammates will naturally be much safer.Unfortunately, things didn't go my way.

I shook my head, quickly threw out my redundant thoughts, and turned my head to look at the room in front of me.This room is empty like the one below, but the space is slightly larger than the one below, so it looks more empty.I stood at the top of the stairs and checked the room carefully. After making sure there was nothing suspicious, I let Xiaoqian come up, and then dragged her towards the door.

When we were in the room below, we saw the stairs as soon as we opened the door, so I didn’t check the back of the door carefully, but I just felt that there was no danger behind the door that was close to the wall. into the house.Now when I saw the door from the inside, I realized that the inside of the door is different from the outside. Not only does it not have the box like the "combined lock", but there is also an extra thing that looks like a handle.

This thing is fixed to the left of the middle of the door. It is black in color and hard in texture.Its shape is very strange, the main body is an upright cylinder, about [-] centimeters in length, and there are five short golden metal bars vertically intersecting it on the upper part of the column.These metal strips are neatly arranged, and each one can move left and right, which looks very much like a switch used to adjust something.

I reached out and grabbed the column and pulled it towards my arms, but the door didn't move at all.Knowing that the bars were removable, I tried them as another form of cipher.Fortunately, this way of moving left or right is relatively simple, and there are not many combinations, so I don't have any pressure to try it here.After trying more than a dozen kinds, I was very lucky to hear a light sound from the door leaf, and I thought I was right.Holding the handle with a little force, the door opened as expected.

I carefully memorized the combination of the metal strips in my mind, in case there is still a need for it later, and then I pulled Xiaoqian and planned to walk out of the room.When I walked to the door, a new idea suddenly popped into my mind.

Now that there are some new discoveries on the back of the door, what about the front?

When we were inspecting those doors just now, we already knew the specific location of the small square frame, so except for the first door which was cleaned carefully, the other doors were wiped carelessly with the small square frame. There is only dust on the frame, and the whole picture of the door is not clearly seen.Since the room with the stairs is not locked, does that mean that this is the case for all rooms with the same function?So, in order to be easy to distinguish under normal use, will there be any special marks on the door of this room?

Judging from the level of civilization of this mysterious ancient city, this is very likely!

I stopped immediately and quickly cleaned up the heavy dust on the door.After a while, I found a circular engraving on top of the small box.This circular carving is not large in size, no more than seven centimeters in diameter.The circular frame on the outermost circle of the carving is very generous and thick, about two centimeters in length.The inside of the frame is engraved with an equilateral triangle that protrudes slightly outward. One of the corners of the triangle is vertically downward, and some complicated patterns are engraved inside the corner, while the other two corners point to the left and right, without any carvings inside the corner.

This graph is very simple and easy to understand.Looking at the intricately carved triangular sharp corners, combined with the direction of the stairs in the room, it is easy to think that the meaning it represents is "downward stairs".

I twitched the corner of my mouth excitedly, then pulled Xiaoqian into the corridor on this floor, and began to check the doors on the wall step by step.Of course, the focus of our investigation this time is on this newly discovered mark. (To be continued..)
