"For some reason, except for Xiao Li, the two of us are not affected by the thunder. We can just go in and take a look..." Zhang Yu said and began to check the equipment in the backpack. Ning Chi was a little moved when he saw this. But in
In his eyes, when it comes to these strange things, his boss is the best at it. Will it be a hindrance if the two of us go there?
So, he said hypocritically: "My eldest brother told me to wait for him outside, so we'd better not go in and cause trouble!"
Zhang Yu only glanced at him, then turned to Li Chen, pointed to a big tree far away from Shirengou, and said in a commanding tone: "It may thunder depending on the weather conditions. Wait for us there. If it gets dark,
Before he could be recognized, he tried his best to go down the mountain to find rescue. Remember, no matter what happens inside, don’t go in, this is an order.”
Li Chen wanted to follow him, but he could only obey the master's instructions, honestly picked up his backpack and walked away.
Seeing that he was obedient, Zhang Yu pulled out his pistol again, removed the magazine, checked the chamber of the gun, put it back into his waist, and strode towards the valley.
Ning Chi stood still for a while and finally caught up...
----------------
The floor of the corridor is a little slippery, so the footprints and traces of dragging and struggling are more obvious.
After Mei Qian confirmed that the traces on the ground were fresh and presumed to have been left recently, he simply turned off his phone again and relied solely on his night vision to move forward.
As he walked, he still paid attention to the movements around him.
It stands to reason that under such conditions, there should be some small insects that like humidity. But here, just like the valley on the ground, there are no insects at all.
At this time, it seemed that he could even hear his own heartbeat clearly in his ears.
But except for the sound of dripping water, there was still no other sound around.
Thinking of the growing sense of crisis, Mei Qian became extremely cautious, controlled her steps, and tried not to make any noise.
As a result, the speed of travel will naturally be slow.
But no matter how slow it is, the road will eventually come to an end.
Not long after, following two sounds of water, Mei Qian came to a spacious stone room.
The stone chamber was in a very regular circular shape, and except for the corridor he walked out of, the surrounding walls were all filled with dark openings.
What's even worse is that the floor of the stone chamber is full of water. Although it's not deep and not as high as the feet, the drag marks he followed along the way are gone...
-----------------------
"It's no wonder that the legend is so scary. It's really weird here. The grass grows very well, but you can't even see a mosquito." Perhaps because it was so quiet in the valley, Ning Chi subconsciously lowered his voice when he spoke.
Zhang Yu was still looking down at the soil, and when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He turned around and looked around, and couldn't help but frown.
"It's really strange. Could it be that there is an insect-proof substance in the soil?" He guessed, and then shook his head: "No, insect-proof can't prevent birds. Compared with outside, there are no birds chirping here."
"Without the bugs, of course the birds won't want to come. It's not like this is something's territory. All other small animals have run away, right?" Ning Chi answered in a relaxed tone, but his eyes became wary.
At the same time, Zhang Yu also took out his pistol and loaded it.
They did not encounter any dangerous animals. They followed Mei Qian's footprints all the way to the collapsed campsite and saw the mess there.
"The things are very new. If no other tourists are missing, then these are definitely the tents left by Maomao and the others." Ning Chi used a dagger to open a tent, squatted down and looked inside.
"Well, Mei Qian thinks so too." Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows at the footprints that circled the camp.
After the two looked at each other, they quickened their pace and rushed into the bushes.
I lost my footprints several times on the way, but Ning Chi was still clever and had good eyesight. With the help of broken grass stems, he found the pile of rocks without much effort, and also saw the hole at the foot of the rock and the hole stuck on it.
crowbar.
"Your boss doesn't have a backpack, right? Where did this crowbar come from?" Zhang Yuqi asked.
"Who knows, maybe I found it in the tent." Ning Chi smiled and shrugged, climbed onto the rock again, looked around carefully, and then nodded to Zhang Yu: "There is no one else around, let's go down.
Let’s go.” After that, he jumped down.
The two of them turned on their bright flashlights and entered the cave entrance one after another.
--------------------------
Mei Qian turned on her cell phone with a bent waist, and sighed in disappointment after a long while.
A dagger appeared in his hand, and after leaving a mark at the exit of the corridor, he stepped on the water and began to check the remaining entrances one by one.
There are more than a dozen corridors, and I don’t know where they lead.
This layout reminded him of the altar that appeared underground in Xia Capital.
But in the middle of the stone chamber, there was no familiar pattern.
However, the sense of crisis brought to him here was much stronger than that of the Xiadu Tomb.
I had no choice but to mark the hole that felt most dangerous and walked in.
It's not that he wants to die, he also wants to keep himself as safe as possible.
But the things that the ancients sacrificed must have been very dangerous. The missing Maomao and others in Shirengou probably got there out of control. If they were faster, they might be able to save a few people.
What he walked into was also a corridor made of bricks and stones. The ground was the same as the stone chamber, and it was also covered with water.
He didn't need to stare at the ground at this time, and he didn't notice the existence of traps, so he walked faster without realizing it.
The surroundings are still quiet, only the sound of dripping water continues, and the sound is already very loud, as if it is right in front of you.
Suddenly, an unpleasant smell hit her nose, and Mei Qian couldn't help but stop. On the top of the corridor in front, something like water droplets fell into the water, causing ripples.
Unfortunately, his night vision was unable to distinguish complex colors, so he had to take out his phone again and light it up.
Everything in the corridor can be seen clearly under the strong light.
Immediately afterwards, Mei Qian gasped uncontrollably.
Under the light of the mobile phone, I could see that the brick walls on both sides were covered with small handprints.
Judging from the size, it is similar to the palm of a child of several years old. The five fingers are clear and it seems that even the palm prints are clearly visible.
What is uncomfortable is that these handprints are all bright red, densely packed, and everywhere.
Not only the wall, but also the place directly above where he stood were covered with such bloody handprints.
It's like there are a group of children, covered in blood, crawling on the walls, on the top of the corridor, or on the ground, leaving traces one after another.
He doesn't have trypophobia, but if it were any other person, seeing this situation, his scalp would be numb.
At this time, he also found the source of the fishy smell.
The sound of water dripping that had been lingering in my ears was not the water seeping as imagined at all. The thing dripping on the water surface was actually a pool of mucus hanging on the top of the corridor...
