Chapter 260 Familiar Taste

Scarface saw Mantis letting go of the rope and falling off the cliff, and asked in shock: "She...she fell?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Lao Si looked at Scarface with cold eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that? She was the one who acted slowly, and it wasn't me who killed her."

Scarface obviously had no confidence when he spoke, and it seemed that he also realized that Mantis' death had something to do with him.

If it had been Lao Si who was with Mantis just now, this probably wouldn't have happened.

Seeing Mantis fall off the cliff, Mr. Zhou showed a sad look on his face. It can be seen that his relationship with Mantis should be unusual.

But just now Hu Jiu asked him to throw the Hair Qiu Seal to Mantis, but he did nothing. Therefore, he had something to do with Mantis's death, and naturally he had no shame to blame Scarface.

Mr. Tuesday said in a low tone: "Since you have chosen this profession, you should be prepared not to go back. Let's leave quickly, otherwise Mantis's death will be in vain."

Hearing these words, Mo Shouchen couldn't help but sigh, this Zhou Ye and Scarface both have the same moral character, are extremely selfish and have no bottom line.

It seems that among them, the fourth child is still somewhat humane.

Mo Shouchen led a few people into the half-open stone gate. Behind the stone gate was a tunnel similar to the one before.

But the strange thing is that he found that the flashlight's irradiation distance in this tunnel is very limited, and it can only shine five or six meters away at most.

A little further away, the light seems to be swallowed up by darkness and disappears without a trace.

Mo Shouchen felt as if he was walking in thick fog, except that the fog was black.

And because his sight was blocked, he was always worried that something terrible would come out of the darkness in front of him as he walked.

Thinking of this, he held the engineer shovel in his hand tighter.

As if sensing Mo Shouchen's nervousness, Hu Jiu quickly took two steps to come to his side. Someone was walking alongside him, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"What is going on here? Why can't the flashlight illuminate the distance?" Mo Shouchen asked in a low voice.

Hu Jiu squinted his eyes and looked forward, and then replied: "I heard my master mention it before. In ancient times, there was a material that could absorb light. As long as it was painted on the wall, it could limit the distance of the light. I guess this tunnel

It should have been painted with something similar."

"There were such high-tech things in ancient times?" Mo Shouchen felt incredible.

"Don't underestimate our ancestors. They are the crystallization of wisdom for thousands of years. Unfortunately, many things have been lost now." There was a sense of regret in Hu Jiu's words.

The two were chatting when Mo Shouchen suddenly heard movement in front of him. He quickly stopped and signaled the people behind him not to go any further.

Mo Shouchen asked with a solemn expression: "What is that sound?"

Hu Jiu shook his head: "I can't hear clearly, it feels messy."

Mo Shouchen held his breath, and then listened with all his attention to what was happening in front of him.

Just as Hu Jiu said, this sound does sound very messy.

just like……

It's like there are a lot of people walking!

And the sound is getting louder and clearer, indicating that the thing making the sound is moving this way.

Suddenly, Hu Jiu's expression changed, and he whispered: "Quick! Turn off the flashlights and press your body against the wall."

Mo Shouchen and Laosi turned off the flashlights as Hu Jiu said without hesitation, and stood close to the wall.

But Scarface questioned: "It's so dark in the tunnel, wouldn't it be impossible to see anything if you turn off the flashlight? Wouldn't that be more dangerous?"

"Stop talking nonsense and turn off the flashlight quickly. Those things coming over are Yin soldiers. If you want to die, get away and don't hurt us!"

This was the first time Mo Shouchen saw Hu Jiu get angry.

Scarface didn't expect Hu Jiu to scold him. He was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards Hu Jiu with an angry look.

"Are you so impatient that you dare to talk to me like this?"

"Scarface!"

Just as Scarface was about to take action, Mr. Zhou scolded him sternly: "Do as Mr. Hu said!"

Scarface gritted his teeth. Veins on his forehead popped out because of anger, but his fist still stopped in mid-air.

He stretched out a finger, pointed at Hu Jiu's face and threatened: "Wait for me!"

Then he pressed it firmly against the wall and turned off the flashlight.

Suddenly, the tunnel fell into darkness.

Mo Shouchen was very curious about what the "yin soldiers" in Hu Jiu's words were, but the sound coming from the front was already very close, so he had to suppress his curiosity and lean against the wall.

"Pap tap tap..."

The sounds were getting closer and closer, and by this time Mo Shouchen was sure that those sounds were indeed footsteps, and they were also mixed with the sound of horse hooves.

It felt like an army of several hundred people was walking towards this direction.

When the footsteps passed by him, Mo Shouchen felt a cold air passing through his body.

Although he was wearing thermal underwear underneath, the cold air still penetrated into his body, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

Mo Shouchen didn't dare to look at what was passing by his body, and even if he dared to look, he couldn't see it.

The only thing he could do now was to press his back against the wall and wait quietly for the footsteps to pass by.

But what depressed him was that the footsteps continued without any sign of decreasing. It seemed that he had underestimated the number of footsteps.

This is not a team of hundreds of people, it is an army of thousands of people!

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Mo Shouchen felt that his body was frozen and his knees were so sore that he could no longer support him.

Fortunately, the sounds from behind are gradually weakening, and the walk should be almost over.

Because he couldn't hold it any longer, Mo Shouchen gently moved his numb left leg.

But as soon as he moved, he felt the cold air passing through his body stopped, and began to shake slightly in front of him.

It felt as if his actions just now disturbed a bodyless ghost, and then the ghost stood in front of him to study what he was.

Because everything was pitch black in front of him, Mo Shouchen's brain began to uncontrollably figure out what this ghost wanted to do to him.

This fear of the unknown is often stronger than facing it with his own eyes, and he even has the urge to run away at all costs.

But in the end, Mo Shouchen suppressed the urge to escape. He held his breath and said silently in his heart: "I am a stone, I am a stone..."

As time passed, the cold air that stopped in front of Mo Shouchen finally moved forward again, and the footsteps in the tunnel gradually faded away.

After the footsteps were completely gone, Mo Shouchen, who was almost suffocating, dared to breathe.

He took a deep breath, but in addition to the smell of moldy earth, he also smelled a faint aroma.

He felt that the aroma was somewhat familiar, and the aroma seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood.

Just when Mo Shouchen was thinking about where this smell came from, someone turned on the flashlight.
