Celestial Masters Alliance

"We were cheated!" I wanted to shout, but my voice was muffled in my chest, leaving only my heavy breathing. what happened? I tried again to scream, but this time my tongue pressed against the roof of my mouth, blocking my entire upper airway, and I couldn't even breathe.

I saw myself holding the head and approaching the crystal coffin step by step. Mu Mu straightened his back, holding a torch, staring at the headless corpse with a dull expression. Xiao Ba stood beside him with a somewhat surprised expression, bending slightly and staring at the feather arrows on the headless corpse. This arrangement is like a solemn ceremony.

wrong! Something is wrong! Scenes of meeting the Gu Insect Master flashed in my mind. When the old woman saw the ring on my hand, she already knew that I had seen the headless corpse, and even knew his identity. She knew that the head did not belong to the body, but she asked me to send it over to terminate the contract. Therefore, this head must have something to do with me! Stop! Stop it!

My body doesn't obey the command of my brain at all. Now the only thing that accepts the command of my brain is my eyes. I stared at the trumpet and roared in my heart: Look at me! Stop me now! We were deceived! It's the Gu Insect Master's conspiracy.

Xiaoba was only immersed in his own world of thoughts at the moment and refused to raise his head to look at me. I approached the headless corpse step by step and watched helplessly as my hands placed the head on the neck of the headless corpse.

The headless corpse was like a magnet, attracting the human head. My finger with the ring on it felt a dull pain. I thought I was regaining control of my body, but it turned out that I was overthinking, and my finger was torn apart by the ring. , the warm blood instantly soaked the gloves, dripped down the fingertips, and accurately dripped on the neck of the headless corpse. The gap between the head and the corpse's neck was closing tightly at a speed visible to the naked eye, even if their skin color was The difference is huge.

No! wrong! It shouldn't be like this! My lungs began to hurt due to lack of oxygen, but my body was still out of control and I couldn't even breathe. If this continues, I will suffocate myself to death!

The headless corpse was connected to the human head, and the entire crystal coffin emitted a blue light. The corpse was ignited by the blue light, and instantly turned into flames that flew up to the dome of the hall, and then disappeared. The moment the flames disappeared, my breathing returned to freedom. I pumped air into my lungs violently, but my brain fell into chaos.

"Brother! Brother!" Xiaodao slapped the big-eared melon seeds at me, but I couldn't feel the pain and looked at him numbly.

"If you react, just blink!" I blinked at him obediently, and Xiaoda immediately left my side and slapped Mu Mu.

Soon my sensations flowed back from my heart to my fingertips and then to my toes. I subconsciously looked back at Shan Yu. She was holding my backpack in her hand and looking at the dome blankly. My heart was completely cold, but now was not the time to talk about our children. I walked up to Mu Mu in two steps, grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently, shouting: "Mu Mu! Wake up! We have been cheated!"

Mu Mu's blank eyes gradually brightened, and finally he looked at me steadily and answered, "It's the pills that control us!"

With one word, sadness and frustration hit me from all directions. I pressed my forehead against his chest and shouted: "That head! That head..."

Xiaodao was holding my back with his hands. This comfort was of no use at all, because my spirit had already collapsed, and sadness rushed into my eyes, forming hot lava and falling down the tip of my nose. Mumu grabbed my shoulders with both hands and pulled me upright. He looked directly into my eyes and said, "We can get it back! Trust me!"

I sniffed gently, feeling the warmth from the trumpet and wooden arms, and wiped away the collapse of my mood. I had to cheer up, because their two lives still depended on my stupid decision! Xiaobao put his arms around my and Mumu's shoulders and put our heads together and asked, "What on earth happened?"

Mu Mu followed his example and put his arms around our shoulders and said, "We'll talk about this later when we get back."

I took two big breaths, patted them both, and pretended to be calm: "Let's go!"

When we dispersed, Shan Yu handed me the backpack in her hands. I took it stiffly, feeling a little resentful that she didn't help wake me up.

"This..." Mu Mu stood beside the crystal coffin and looked at the coffin and said.

"He left this arrow behind!" Xiaoba said in front of the wood, where there were arrows carved into three feathers inserted into the chest of the headless corpse. Xiaoba reached into the coffin, but before he touched the arrow, his gloves caught fire.

"Throw away the gloves!" Mu Mu shouted and rushed forward to help Xiaoba take off his gloves, but his gloves instantly burned when they touched the flames. I rushed over and without even thinking about it, I grabbed Xiaoba's glove and pulled it hard. The gloves fell to the ground and burned up. The back of Xiaoba's hand was already burned.

Mumu also successfully got rid of his gloves, looked at me in surprise and said, "You don't seem to be able to cause this fire!"

I raised my wet gloves to him and said, "Because my gloves have long been soaked in blood!"

Mu Mu shook his head and looked at the arrow lying at the bottom of the coffin.

"How about I try to take it?" As I said that, I touched the exquisite golden feather arrow with my blood-soaked gloves. At this moment, I didn't feel nervous at all, as if I was just picking up something I dropped on the ground.

Nothing happened. The feather arrow was clenched in my hand. The drooping feeling seemed to compress countless lives into the small arrow body.

Xiaodao looked at me in surprise, with his mouth wide open. I glanced at him and joked: "If you don't close your mouth, the monster will fly in later!"

Xiaoda quickly closed his mouth with one hand on his chin, and then asked: "Brother! Why are your hands bleeding? How are you doing now?"

I didn’t know how to explain what just happened, so I took off my gloves with the arrow in my other hand. The wet gloves could not keep me warm. The blood stains were wiped clean by the velvet in the gloves. The ring Still on my index finger, it glows with blue light. Didn’t I already send a head for it? Why is it still on my hand?

Xiaoba grabbed my wrist and exclaimed: "Oh my God! This needs to be dealt with quickly, the flesh is all turned out!"

The wooden action style was evident at this moment. I had already found my emergency kit and spread it out on the ground. Shan Yu helped open the iodine, poured it on my wound, and gently applied it with a cotton swab. She leaned close to my wound and blew gently on me, as if doing so would relieve the pain.

In fact, I couldn't see my wound at all because there was a ring there. I didn't know if the medicine could penetrate the ring and clean the wound.

"Could these people be burned by arrows?" Mu Mu handed Xiaoba a roll of bandages and motioned to Xiaoba to help me tie the wound.

His words successfully drew my attention to the bones next to the crystal coffin. That's right! There is a large amount of black powder around here, and small bone fragments are enough to indicate that this is the ignition point of the heat source. If they just wanted to get the ore, there was no need to come here because there was already a lot in the mine.

"They also put the tripod and lampshade back into place. Do they know where the tripod was originally placed?" I said softly, looking at the tripod by the wall.

Mu Mu shook his head and said, "Is it possible that two groups of people were fighting here?"

Xiaoba had already bandaged my wound, and I thanked him without any sincerity, still studying the placement of the tripod. Shan Yu looked at the dome and whispered: "Maybe the position of the bronze tripod is just to correspond to the position of the stars on the dome!"

"Could it be a formation?" Xiaobao asked sharply.

Shan Yu shook his head: "I don't understand this, but the decoration of this place has a certain pattern, and it looks familiar."

I glanced at the wood. He was looking up at the dome thoughtfully. He felt me ​​looking at him and said softly: "The underground sacrificial site of Phoenix Mausoleum."

I suddenly understood, but Xiaoba still didn't understand, and still asked: "There are no cranes here, and there are no grooves on the ground!"

I gave him a slap on the back of the head: "The number of bronze tripods is the same as the number of cranes. There are rhinoceros horn cups on the groove of Phoenix Tomb, and here..." I pointed to the dome and looked carefully at the top of the dome. The main stars are also arranged in a circle shape, and the scattered small stars just confuse the vision.

Mu Mu nodded, looked at the crystal coffin and said, "That coffin should have been placed in the center of the hall before, and the copper lampshade should be inside or on top of the coffin."

"Could it be..." I raised the feather arrows in my hand: "Those people with tattoos are just here to get the ore, and these people who were burned are here to get the feather arrows? They are the same group of Gu masters. ?” I was surprised by this conclusion.

Xiaoba laughed and said: "How could a Gu Insect Master with such superb skills be in the same group as these idiots!" What Xiaoba said makes sense. After all, the Gu Insect Master has been saving lives for us since we entered the Phoenix Tomb. He made his own trap, how could he have such a team member who was holding him back?

"Ah! What a mess!" I scratched my aching head, looking a little flustered.
