Chapter 403 The Last Dignity
After looking around the main hall, Chen Ziyang discovered that there is not only one gate, but three gates.Except for the wall connecting the passage that I came here before, there is a stone gate on each of the other three walls.

These gates look exactly the same from the outside, and they are all very wide, but they still feel a little small in this empty hall. Only standing in front of these gates can you feel the hugeness of these gates.

After walking around the hall, Chen Ziyang found that two gates were tightly closed, while the gap between the two doors of one gate was very wide.

To be precise, it's not the gap left by this door, but a door that is open to the opposite side is slightly tilted. The top of the two doors are tightly attached together, but there is a gap at the bottom. A gap of ten centimeters wide.

Using a flashlight to shine through the gap in the door, one can see a series of wide steps extending upwards, and I don't know how high it is.After estimating in his mind, Chen Ziyang felt that Liu Tong's previous judgment should be correct. The steps behind this gate are likely to be directly connected to the gate of the palace. If this place can be opened, it may really be. Get in touch with teams outside.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang took out his compass, wanting to confirm the orientation of the gate to confirm his speculation.But when he took out the compass, he was surprised to see that the pointer of the compass was spinning crazily, at a very fast speed, with no intention of stopping at all.

"The pointer keeps spinning. This is a needle setting. There are evil things around here!" Chen Ziyang ran towards Liu Cong while talking to himself, and then he told Liu Cong what he found. listen.

According to Liu Cong, they also took out the compass to check the direction before the gate. At that time, the compass also had a setting needle. Now that I think about it, it is possible that the setting needle pointed to the zombies around.Liu Cong didn't think there was anything strange about this matter, and it wasn't worth making such a fuss about.

"Liu Cong, all the zombies here have been eliminated, but the needle of the compass is still spinning. That means the needle is not set to point to these zombies. Apart from these zombies, there are other evil things here." Chen Ziyang hastily stated the key to the whole matter.

Hearing Chen Ziyang's words, Liu Cong reacted.Then he supported the wall with one hand, barely stood up, looked around the empty hall, and confirmed that all the zombies had indeed been dealt with.

"I don't know what else XZ is around here, we still have to be careful, the team is not at all right now, I don't think we should try to open that gate, in case there is another evil thing rushing in, We are all in danger." Chen Ziyang suggested to Liu Cong.

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Liu Cong pondered for a while, then he nodded, agreeing with this view.Now speaking, it is important to get in touch with the outside team, but if it is true that there are other evil things here, as Chen Ziyang said, if the door is opened and these things rush in, the people in the team will be killed. To wipe out the whole army.Now there are only two combatants in the entire team, and it is impossible to deal with other evil things.

Just when the two of them had just finalized the matter, a crisp sound of "Dang Clang" suddenly echoed in the hall, Liu Cong and Chen Ziyang's eyes were attracted by the sound, and they found the The small bronze tripod had already fallen to the ground, the body of the tripod and the lid of the tripod had been separated, and Xu Xiaoyuan's face was pale, and she fell to the ground at once.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ziyang, who rushed over a few steps, hurriedly helped Xu Xiaoyuan up and asked.

"I'm really sorry, my knowledge is too shallow, and I can't cure Fang Zhengzhong's corpse poison." Xu Xiaoyuan said intermittently while panting heavily.

"What!" Chen Ziyang exclaimed in surprise.The hall was very quiet at this time, and because of the incident of the small bronze cauldron falling to the ground just now, everyone focused their attention here, so every sober person in the hall heard Xu Xiaoyuan's words.

"He is already poisoned by the corpse. I have used all my mana just now, but I can't completely get rid of the poison in his body. After a while, Master Fangzheng will...become a zombie It's gone." Xu Xiaoyuan said helplessly.

"How is this possible, aren't you Maoshan alchemist? Isn't your magic power very strong? Why can't even you save him?" Hearing Xu Xiaoyuan's words, Liu Cong endured the pain on his body and came to Xu Xiaoyuan next to her, grabbed her shoulder and asked nervously.

"You scratched me." Hearing Xu Xiaoyuan's pale words, Liu Cong realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly let go of Xu Xiaoyuan's hand.

"Liu Cong, don't get excited, listen to what Taoist Xiaoyuan has to say." Although he knew that Xu Xiaoyuan's next words were still the same, Chen Ziyang still held the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Fangzheng has been poisoned for too long, and he is still fighting after being poisoned. The corpse poison has already flowed all over his body, and the corpse poison has already attacked his heart. I did my best just now, but I can only get rid of the poison in his body." Part of the corpse poison on the surface, but there is nothing to do with the corpse poison deep in his body, I'm sorry, I really tried my best."

Seeing Xu Xiaoyuan's pale face, the sweat on her forehead, and the trembling hands supporting her body, Chen Ziyang knew that Xu Xiaoyuan was not lying, and the mana in her body should have been exhausted, otherwise The small bronze tripod wouldn't just fall to the ground like that, obviously Xu Xiaoyuan didn't even have a trace of mana in her body.

"Is there any other way to get rid of the corpse poison in Fangzheng's body?"

"There are a few natural and earthly treasures that can do this, but we don't have any at hand, and we don't have time to look for them. This kind of corpse poison is very powerful. In an hour at most, Master Fangzheng will be gone." It's going to be a zombie."

After listening to Xu Xiaoyuan's words, everyone was silent, even Xu Xiaoyuan, who was the only one who could save Fangzheng, said so, and the others knew that it was completely hopeless.

"Where's Master Jia? Can your master, Master Jia Da, cure Fang Zheng?" Suddenly remembering that there was another Jia Da outside the gate, Liu Cong hurriedly asked.

"My master?" Hearing Liu Cong's question, Xu Xiaoyuan frowned, showing a puzzled look, and then she said uncertainly:
"Maybe... maybe my master can save Fangzheng. After all, his mana is much stronger than mine."

"Okay, that's great, it's good to have hope. Brother, don't think about other things, go and see if the door can be opened first, if you can get in touch with the team, Master Jia can come here as soon as possible , maybe Fangzheng will be saved." Liu Cong said to Chen Ziyang with bright eyes.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.In fact, from Xu Xiaoyuan's words, Chen Ziyang had already heard that even if Jia Da came here, it would not be of much use.The reason why Xu Xiaoyuan said that was because she didn't want to shatter the last hope in Liu Cong's heart. After all, she was a woman, so she couldn't tell the truth bluntly.

However, Liu Cong's relationship with Fangzheng was very deep, and it was impossible for him to give up the last glimmer of hope, so Chen Ziyang felt that he had no way to refuse Liu Cong's request.

Fortunately, Jin Huang is still in a coma. Otherwise, if Jin Huang knew about this matter, he would definitely find a way to open the gate immediately. The relationship between Fangzheng is deeper.

That was the end of the matter, and it was useless to say anything else.Chen Ziyang hurried to the front of the gate, and checked a huge stone roller connected to the gate.

"It's a disaster that can't be avoided after all. At this time, we can only fight." Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang turned the stone roller.As he turned, the iron chain connected to the gate was slowly straightened.After the rattling sound, the two gates slowly moved in different directions.

Although the stone roller is very huge and the gate is also very heavy, the rotation of the roller does not require much strength, but it may be because the age is relatively long, the mechanism for opening the gate has failed, or there are some other factors. Debris blocked the bottom of the door, and after the door was only opened a gap, Chen Ziyang could no longer turn the rollers.

Although this gap is not big, it is more than enough for one person to pass through.When the gate was opened, Chen Ziyang saw that no other mechanism was triggered, and no other evil things ran into the hall, so he let out a sigh of relief, then turned on the flashlight, and walked into the gate .

Behind the gate is a large set of stone steps, extending upwards, and the strong light flashlight that can illuminate more than 100 meters cannot reach the end at all. Height, Chen Ziyang estimated that these steps may be longer than he imagined.

Just now Xu Xiaoyuan said that Fang Zheng would turn into a zombie in an hour at most, but Chen Ziyang reckoned that this time was a bit exaggerated. It was Xu Xiaoyuan who deliberately made the time longer in order to take care of Liu Cong's emotions. Now It seems that I have to race against time.

Running up the steps, Chen Ziyang was exhausted and out of breath after a while, his legs were sore and swollen, as if they were not his own, but he still persisted.

Because his legs had no strength, Chen Ziyang, who was rushing up, tripped and fell on a step. He instantly felt that his whole body had no strength at all. He could only lie on the steps and gasped for breath. At the same time, he kept beating his legs with his own hands, hoping to recover some strength quickly.

"Is someone...listening...?" The intermittent words from the communicator broke the tranquility here, and Chen Ziyang regained his energy all of a sudden.

It seems that Liu Cong's estimation was correct before. These steps should indeed lead to the gate of the palace. I have already run a long way up the steps, and I should be very close to the team outside the door. With the cover of the thick stone wall, the communicator can also work normally.

After gritting his teeth and walking up a certain distance, the words from the communicator became much clearer, and Chen Ziyang was able to communicate with another team.

It turned out that the team trapped outside had found the mechanism to open the gate. These people had already walked down the steps behind the gate. After waiting for a while, Chen Ziyang saw the flashlight shining from above his head. I am very happy.

Before that, he had briefly told the people in the team what happened on the communicator, and now Zhenhao and Shanshi Shuai were holding the fat Jada up and running down the steps at high speed, hoping to be in time Before Fang Zheng turned into a zombie, he rushed to the location of the main hall.

Chen Ziyang, who followed the team back to the main hall, saw that other people gathered around Fangzheng, and Jin Huang also woke up, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, obviously he was hit hard.

Xu Xiaoyuan's face turned ruddy, and she was using the small bronze cauldron to continue to remove the corpse poison in Fangzheng's body.Hearing someone walking into the hall, everyone raised their heads.

"Master Jia, come and see Fangzheng, maybe only you can save him now." Jin Huang and Liu Cong said almost in unison.

Panting, Jia Da nodded, walked to Fangzheng and Xu Xiaoyuan, looked down at Fangzheng's injuries, and asked Xu Xiaoyuan:

"Disciple, you can't get rid of the corpse poison in his body, right? You are my apprentice, you have already learned my true teachings, and my opinion is the same as yours. It can't be saved."

Jia Da's words were addressed to Xu Xiaoyuan, but everyone understood that his words were actually addressed to those present.

Hearing Jia Da's words, Liu Cong lowered his head weakly, while Guo Huaxing and Zhang Linfu also showed regretful expressions.Jin Huang clenched his teeth and beat the ground vigorously with his fist.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's because I'm not good at learning, Fang just wanted to save me to become like this, it's all my fault."

The Maoshan Seventh Division lost a general so quickly, which was unexpected by everyone, and the feeling of grief and indignation pervaded everyone in the team.

At this moment, Zhang Linfu gritted his teeth, stood up, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Liu Cong, this is the end of the matter, don't be a woman anymore, do it yourself, let Fangzheng walk with dignity."

"No! He's still alive, Fangzheng isn't dead yet!" Jin Huang threw himself on Fangzheng's body and hugged Fangzheng tightly, fearing that Liu Cong would attack Fangzheng.

"Pull away!" Liu Cong almost squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.What Zhang Linfu said was right, Fangzheng would immediately turn into a zombie if he dragged on, and he had to be dealt with at that time, it would be better to get things done before he turned into a zombie, leaving Fangzheng with the last bit of dignity.

After letting others pull away the screaming Jin Huang, Liu Cong took out his golden dagger, then he bent down, raised Fangzheng's head lightly, and threw the golden dagger It stabbed along the back of Fangzheng's neck.
