Chapter 296 Whoever moves, who dies!
The reason why Lu Qi reacted so strongly was entirely because of the power of the fuel barrel.
When he was in the slums, he used these fuel barrels filled with fuel to blow up the enemies and turn them into pyromen!
He didn’t want himself and Laura to become like that!
In the midst of his thoughts, the red fuel barrel fell straight to the open space in front of the gate, just in time to surround the two of them.
Immediately afterwards, on the city tower, several enemies held long bows and set up rockets, aiming at the fuel barrels and blowing the two men into pieces.
At the moment of lightning, Lu Qi made a decisive decision and rushed towards the edge of the cliff, not forgetting to remind Laura beside him:
"Laura, run!"
Hearing this, Laura reacted quickly and immediately followed him, rushing towards the edge of the cliff together.
Their target is very obvious, which is the rope connected to the rock platform below!
Just when the two of them took out their ice axes and placed them across the rope, they heard several "boom, boom, boom" explosions coming from behind them!
The open space was suddenly blasted with rubble flying into the air.
The impact of the explosion immediately turned into a huge thrust, pushing the two people on the rope forward.
The two people holding ice axes were forced to slide along the rope to the rock platform diagonally below!
When the two slid halfway, perhaps due to the impact of the explosion or the weight of the two, the wooden pillar nailed to the edge of the cliff was uprooted with a "click"!
The rope lost its support from the wooden pillars, and only the wooden pillars on the rock platform remained, instantly turning into a swinging rope.
The two people who reacted quickly immediately grasped the rope firmly and followed the rope to the rock platform below.
With a violent sound of breaking wind, the two of them hit the hard rock wall hard and let out a muffled groan in unison.
Fortunately, both of them were prepared for this and used their more resistant backs to fight against the rock wall, thus reducing the chance of injury.
Holding back the pain in their backs, the two held the rope in their hands and stepped on the rock wall, struggling to climb up the rock platform.
As soon as she came up, Laura bent down, supported her knees with her hands, and breathed heavily:
"Huha...huha...I thought we were going to fall..."
Hearing this, Lu Qi glanced at Laura aside, rolled his eyes involuntarily, and said seriously:
"Laura, I think the first thing you do when you go back is to go to the gym."
Hearing this, Laura couldn’t help but raise her head and asked slightly curiously:
"Huh? Why?"
"If I don't lose weight, I won't dare to go out on adventures with you again..."
Hearing these words and seeing Lu Qi spreading his hands, Laura was stunned for a while before reacting.
Although she knew Lu Qi was joking, Laura was still a little angry.
After all, weight is always a negative factor for a woman!
"Can you say that again?!!"
Just when Laura was about to hit someone, Ross's voice suddenly sounded from the intercom on her waist, saving Lu Qi's life in time.
"Laura, we are in the slums. I heard an explosion above the palace. Are you okay?"
Laura, who was interrupted, gave Lu Qi a fierce look that said, "Just wait for me." Then she picked up the walkie-talkie and responded softly:
"We are fine. We have arrived near the palace and are ready to find a way to get in."
"Are you sure? Why don't we go in together after we meet up..."
Looking at the time on her watch, Laura immediately rejected Ross’s proposal:
"No, it's getting late, and the sacrificial ceremony may start soon. Don't worry, Lu Qi and I will rescue Samantha, and we will be back."
"I promise!"
After persuading Rose, Laura once again transformed into the brave and confident Tomb Superwoman. She looked at Lu Qi aside and said:
"let's go!"
...
Continuing deeper and deeper from the entrance of the rock platform, passing through a passage full of human skeletons on both sides, and lying in a foul-smelling waterway, the two came to a place that looked like an underground tomb.
In the dim environment, the two of them did not light the torch.
Because there are some candles placed on the hollow stone walls on both sides for lighting.
In addition, female Buddha statues and sun graffiti representing Himihu can be found all around.
After exchanging glances, Lu Qi and Laura took out their weapons and walked forward with light steps along the passage...
After walking a few dozen meters forward, a familiar voice came from the front:
"Brothers, listen to me!"
"In the outside world, we are just nobody. But here... we are all Solari! People of the Sun Queen!!"
"She brought us together for a reason. I know you all want to be free, I know you all want to escape this place..."
"If we want to be free, we must free our great Queen!"
"The Queen is just like us, she is a prisoner. If you can free the Queen, you will free yourself!"
When the two followed the sound and came to a huge underground cave, they saw a puzzling cult scene:
I saw a large number of Solaris standing around under a certain high stone platform, looking up with pious expressions.
The leader of Solari, the so-called "Holy Father" Matthias, stood on the high platform, holding a spear with a saw blade tied to it.
Next to him, standing on the pile of lumber, the woman with short black hair tied to a wooden post was the one Lu Qi and Laura wanted to rescue—Sam Mantha!
"Samantha!"
Seeing this, Laura, holding a long bow, wanted to rush out to save people.
However, Lu Qi beside him reached out to stop him:
"Don't get excited first, wait a minute!"
With Lu Qi's comfort, Laura calmed down a little and continued to hide around the corner, observing the next ritual process:
"This girl...she has the blood of this land flowing in her body. She may be the key. You can know the truth by observing the flames of the fire ceremony!"
"Hemihu, you are the queen of the past, present and eternity, please speak to us!"
At this point, Matthias seemed to feel that he was done, so he raised his hand and asked the younger brother holding a torch to step forward and light the fire at Sam Mantha's feet.
Seeing this, Lu Qi knew that it was their turn to appear!
Only a "whoosh" sound was heard, and a black lightning flashed through the air!
The next second, the younger brother next to Matthias fell down in response.
This arrow immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Turning his head suddenly and looking towards where the arrow was flying, Matthias saw Laura and Lu Qi beside Laura.
"Kill them!"
Following Matthias's order, five or six Solaris rushed towards the two of them, howling in unison.
Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but sneered, and as if by magic, he took out an AK, pointed it at the incoming enemy, and pulled the trigger!
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out, and several enemies who rushed towards the two men fell into a pool of blood as if they were electrocuted.
