Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh: The Chilong Gang is so covert and thorough, no wonder its crimes have not been discovered before.

Yang Xin looked at Lu Xiaoxian with questioning eyes.

After so many twists and turns, it was impossible to retreat at this moment. Lu Xiaoxian decided that he must continue to investigate no matter what.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian turned around and said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, you stay with Brother Zhang Tang! Let's go down and find out!"

Lu Xiaoyi became anxious when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Brother, how can I let you go down alone? I want to go too!"

Lu Xiaoxian patted Lu Xiaoyi on the shoulder: "Why did I go down alone? With County Captain Yang and the others here, I'll be fine, don't worry!"

"No, I want to go down with you!" Lu Xiaoyi was determined to live or die.

"No one knows what's going on down here. If there are no reinforcements, we don't know if we can come back alive!" Lu Xiaoxian explained patiently, "The only reinforcement we have is Brother Leng! I let you stay, that is

To wait for Brother Leng!"

"He can wait for Brother Leng alone!" Lu Xiaoyi pointed at Zhang Tang and begged Lu Xiaoxian, "Brother, just let me go with you!"

"That's nonsense!" Lu Xiaoxian got angry, "You also know the situation in Jingning County. Brother Leng won't believe anyone here when he comes, except you. Don't you understand? I'll keep you here.

Here, it is like putting my life in your hands, why are you such a mother-in-law?"

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxian said, Lu Xiaoyi was speechless, with a look of pain on his face.

Lu Xiaoxian realized that what he said was a bit harsh, so he forced a smile and said: "Xiaoyi, I know you care about me, don't worry, I am blessed with good fortune, nothing will happen to me!"

Lu Xiaoyi cried and said: "Brother, you must be careful, Xiaotong is still waiting for you!"

When Lu Xiaoyi mentioned Jiang Xiaotong, the weakest part of Lu Xiaoxian's heart was touched, and Jiang Xiaotong's beautiful figure appeared in front of his eyes.

This was not the time for love between children, Lu Xiaoxian was only in a daze for a moment, and then regained his composure.

"You should also be more careful!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded heavily towards Lu Xiaoyi.

A few people made some preparations outside the entrance. In addition to Lu Xiaoxian and Xu Zuo, Yang Xin and three other subordinates will also enter the cave together.

Yang Xin asked his men to find dry firewood, split it into neat long strips, and then wrapped the sticks with rags to make a simple torch.

After getting ready, several people entered the secret passage.

Seeing their figures disappear into the cave, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but pray for Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian originally thought that he would enter a narrow and cramped space, but the result was unexpected. There was a cave in the secret passage.

The downward passage is very wide and gentle, and the secret passage is well ventilated, and it is also unusually cool and dry, which is completely different from what I imagined.

In addition to the tension caused by the endless darkness and unpredictability, people walking in it actually feel that their pores are relaxed and their whole body feels at ease.

"I didn't expect that there is such a unique place in the Wild Wolf Valley. It seems that our trip was worth it!" Lu Xiaoxian's voice echoed in the empty tunnel.

Yang Xin was not as comfortable as Lu Xiaoxian. He made a quiet gesture towards Lu Xiaoxian, and then pointed forward.

The secret passage didn't seem to be long, and it was almost coming to an end.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the secret passage, a wider hole appeared.

They entered the big hole

, I just feel that the darkness is boundless and completely unmeasurable, as if I have entered another world. The thick darkness is like a huge mouth that seems to swallow these unexpected visitors.

Lu Xiaoxian used the faint firelight to carefully touch one side of the cave wall. There were very obvious marks of chiseling on it. He said to Yang Xin: "The entire cave should have been dug by humans."

"Go inside and see if you find anything." Yang Xin turned around and said to everyone.

After hearing this, several people planned to continue exploring deeper.

Since entering the cave, Xu Zuo has been silent, making people almost forget his existence.

At this time, Xu Zuo suddenly said something. "I'm afraid if we go further down, we will reach the gate of hell."

After everyone heard this, their hearts pounded and they all became silent.

Lu Xiaoxian asked doubtfully: "Xu Zuo, could it be that you escaped from here?"

Xu Zuo shook his head: "I escaped through another cave entrance. That cave entrance is very secret, and usually no one will notice it."

"Although I don't know where this hole leads to, I am very familiar with this feeling. You must know that I have spent countless days and nights in this feeling."

Xu Zuo's voice seemed to come from hell, with a strong sense of death: "I have a strong premonition that we are not far from death!"

Because the hole is too huge, the torch in the hand is extremely crude, not stained with grease, and has almost lost its function. It only illuminates a little of the road ahead, but it is empty, as if it is ignored. People in it feel even more flustered, as if

Falling into the endless void.

In the endless darkness and helpless panic, not only Lu Xiaoxian, but also others also somewhat understood what it was like to spend those days with Xu Zuo. But fortunately, there were people around them walking together, Wei Miao

The fire still barely supported my heart.

Seeing that several people were already walking in front, Lu Xiaoxian helped Xu Zuo to speed up the pace.

Together with Xu Zuo and Lu Xiaoxian who were walking at the end, there were a total of six people in the cave at this time.

Walking in the front was Yang Xin's oldest subordinate, everyone called him Lao He. He was about forty years old.

Perhaps because of his experience in the world, and relying on the ghost-headed sword in his hand, Lao He didn't seem to care much about the darkness, and just strode forward.

The light from the torch enveloped the whole person, giving his back a strange appearance.

"Lao He, slow down a little." Yang Xin was afraid that Xu Zuo, who had not yet recovered, would be pulled down by the team if he was going too fast, so he called to Lao He who was walking in a hurry.

Hearing Yang Xin's voice, Lao He stopped and looked back at the people behind him.

The moment Lao He turned around, Yang Xin was shocked to see a face emerging from the darkness under the weak light. In the flickering firelight, the face quietly grinned.

He seemed to be smiling.

Then, the face disappeared again.

Yang Xin suspected that he was dazzled and hurriedly asked the people around him for confirmation. Before he opened his mouth, he got the answer from the surprised expressions of others.

It is indeed a human face.

What lurks in the darkness.

Yang Xin hurriedly wanted to tell Lao He to be careful, but before he could speak, the torch in Lao He's hand suddenly went out, and the front became pitch black.

Then a muffled sound was heard.

Something happened.

Yang Xin and others held high torches towards the old man all the way

He ran to where he was before.

Lao He had fallen to the ground. Yang Xin reached out to help him, but he touched blood on his hand.

Lao He is dead.

His trachea was cut open by a sharp object, and blood poured out in large amounts.

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

"Everyone, come together!" Yang Xin shouted loudly.

The incident happened so suddenly that Lu Xiaoxian, who was lagging behind, had not yet figured out the situation. After hearing Yang Xin's instructions, he helped Xu Zuo and quickly ran along the direction of the sound.

Yang Xin's other two men were also stunned by this sudden accident. Fortunately, Yang Xin's calm instructions quickly gathered them together to avoid being taken advantage of by the other party to kill them again.

Several people leaned closely together, their heavy breathing irritating everyone. They held the torches as far forward as possible, carefully guarding against possible sudden attacks.

No one knows whether the person who attacked Lao He just now was a human or something else.

Lu Xiaoxian stared carefully in front of him, and he could clearly feel the trembling of Xu Zuo's body.

There is no doubt that he is afraid.

Faced with such unknown threats, no one will not feel panic.

At this time, the five people were staring ahead, temporarily building a relatively stable defensive formation.

They wait with bated breath.

The shadow did not continue to attack, and seemed to disappear again.

The entire cave was eerily quiet, and all the subtle sounds were infinitely amplified. Even the sound of the heartbeat turned into a rumbling roar, constantly hitting the sensitive eardrums.

In the darkness, there seemed to be the sound of wind blowing through the cave, and it seemed like something was moving on tiptoe, plotting a strange conspiracy.

Time passed slowly, and none of the five people dared to move. They began to gradually adapt to the silence, and gradually distinguished clearly that the sound coming from the darkness was the slight sound of footsteps.

The sound came from somewhere and was transmitted very faintly in the oppressive air. However, because the cave was too empty, the sound was dispersed in the vast space, and the direction could not be clearly discerned.

The softer the sound, the more deeply it stimulates people's will. The other party does not seem to be in a hurry to show up, but slowly walks around a few people. Only people with ulterior motives can deliberately create such tension.

.

His previous hit must have inspired his confidence.

He's planning another raid.

"Mr. Lu, do you think they are humans or ghosts?" Yang Xin asked Lu Xiaoxian in an almost whispering voice.

"Of course they are human beings!" Yang Xin also replied in a slight voice.

"So how many do you think they have?"

Yang Xin affirmed: "It can't be too much, otherwise they would have taken action long ago, and they wouldn't have wasted time with us here."

The other party's hesitant behavior seems to confirm Lu Xiaoxian's new judgment, or maybe he likes to play cat and mouse games.

"Lieutenant Yang County, now we are in the light and the other side is in the dark." Lu Xiaoxian looked at the weak torch and said very worriedly, "The other side is familiar with the terrain and seems to be very adapted to the darkness. If the torch burns out later, we will be even more worried.

trouble."

Although Lu Xiaoxian had excellent eyesight, he was not familiar with the terrain, so he could not determine where the other party was hiding.
