The cave was somewhat secretive. If Wu Tong hadn't led the way, it would have been possible for everyone to pass by it without paying attention to him. "Wu Tong, how did you notice this place?" Tang Sancheng asked.
"When I was passing by, I accidentally fell and saw this cave. I went in out of curiosity, which delayed my return." Wu Tong said, and was the first to go in. He opened the door of the cave.
The vines, the vines turned playfully and blocked in front of Tang Sancheng. Tang Sancheng simply pulled down these vines to avoid blocking the road. He didn't know what kind of plant these vines came from, and there were tiny inverted vines on them.
Hook, Tang Sancheng's hand was hooked and bleeding. He let out an "ouch" and immediately wiped his hand on his pants to prevent the blood from being exposed. Fortunately, it was dark, and Lei Zi and Xiao Ning were both together.
Without seeing it, Wu Tong suddenly turned around and smiled at Tang Sancheng. That smile was a bit evil.
Bai Yi frowned, but he couldn't teach Tang Sancheng a lesson. This kind of thing could not be controlled. In addition, Tang Sancheng reacted quickly and wiped off the blood on his hands immediately, not to mention saying anything.
After dragging Tang Sancheng to pull the vines, the people behind him entered easily. Wu Tong shouted from inside: "Come in quickly."
The air in the cave was not very good and was a bit turbid. Lei Zi took a breath and said, "Why does it smell weird?"
"The tide in the cave has this smell." Xiao Ning covered her nose and said, "Do you expect that as soon as you come in, a scent of fragrance will hit your nose?"
"That's not true." Lei Zi was relieved, and a few people started to light a fire. After the fire became strong, everyone could clearly see the cave in front of them. It was just the most common kind in the Qinling Mountains, with handsome stones, but Tang Sancheng felt that the cave was
The rocks inside were intertwined with each other, and there were waves of cold air. It was terrifying. At this moment, the fire came up, and the haze in Tang Sancheng's heart was swept away. He gathered around the fire to warm himself up, even though the cave entrance was wide open.
, at least there is a cover on the head and a block on the left and right sides, which is much better than spending the night outside.
Bai Yi suddenly asked: "Wu Tong, have you eaten?"
"Not yet?" After Wu Tong finished speaking, he hesitated: "I'm not hungry."
Wu Tong said that there seemed to be an ancient tomb in this cave. Lei Zi couldn't wait to search and found another cave at the innermost side of the cave. It was just wet and dark below, so it was hard to tell why he came there: "Is this here?
"
"Yes." Wu Tong said with certainty.
"Then let's go down and have a look now!" Lei Zi said, about to jump down, but Wu Tong stopped him: "No!"
"Why not?" Lei Zi's tone was a little harsh: "You don't mean to say that I can't go down, or you are afraid that I will be greedy for the secret weapon below. Since I promised Bai Yi to join, I will abide by the rules. Don't bully me.
people!"
Wu Tong forced out a smile, which was uglier than crying: "That's not what I meant. What I mean is that the situation below is unknown. It is better to have a comprehensive plan before proceeding. The person who looks out for it must also have
of."
"You want me to look out for you?" Lei Zi asked.
"Yes, you and Xiao Ning will be the lookouts." Wu Tong directly arranged for the lookouts.
Lei Zi wanted to say something else, but Bai Yi stood up: "Okay, Lei Zi, let him go this time. At least he discovered this place." As he spoke, he patted Lei Zi's face.
Shoulder, Tang Sancheng discovered that what Bai Yi was photographing was Morse code. This code had been used in the water coffin. Both Lei Zi and Bai Yi knew it. Lei Zi's look relaxed, and they didn't know what Bai Yi was conveying.
What kind of information could be so useful? He said: "Sure, this time I will listen to Bai Yi, and Xiao Ning and I will look after it."
Xiao Ning naturally had no objections. She was exhausted from the torment just now. After all, she was a woman and her physical strength was weaker.
The four of them rested by the fire for a while and were about to go down. Tang Sancheng gave Bai Yi a puzzled look, but Bai Yi pretended not to see it and walked over vaguely. Tang Sancheng was full of question marks, but
I can't say anything, I can only endure it and get down to the cave that extends below.
When the flashlight shines down, there is a large tree root with intertwined roots, layer upon layer. It looks like the tree is at least a hundred years old. For some unknown reason, it was sawed off, leaving only the roots. Wu Tong
Pointing to the big tree root below: "There seems to be a passage going down just under the tree root. I just saw it vaguely."
Blurry? Tang Sancheng also saw a dark shadow next to the tree root. He didn't know if it was an object or a passageway. He could only see what happened after he went down.
Qixie was the first to go down. Although the cave was slippery, there were intertwined stones. You could step on them and go down slowly. Qixie grabbed the rocks protruding from the inside and jumped when he was more than one meter away from the root of the tree.
After going down and landing firmly, Qixie shined his flashlight downwards, raised his head and shouted: "There is another layer below!"
At least this point, what Wu Tong said was true. Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi also went down one by one, with Wu Tong at the back. When Tang Sancheng looked back at him, Wu Tong's face turned sideways. I don't know if it was accidental.
Or on purpose, Tang Sancheng always had a feeling that the Wu Tong who came back was very strange. He didn't look directly into the other person's eyes when he spoke like before, and where was the scornful attitude before?
Tang Sancheng was still thinking about all the suspicious things about Wu Tong. Bai Yi pushed him: "Are you scared, or else go up and wait for us?"
"Tch, only ghosts are afraid of you." When Tang Sancheng said ghosts, Wu Tong trembled. Tang Sancheng looked at Wu Tong: "Why, are you also afraid of ghosts?"
What Tang Sancheng didn't know was that there were many taboos against people fighting upside down, and this ghost was one of them. Bai Yi said: "Stop talking nonsense! Go down quickly, don't let Lei Zi and Xiao Ning airborne above like last time."
wait."
Bai Yi was also very surprised. He seemed to know something, but he didn't say anything and was very eager to go downstairs. Tang Sancheng looked at Qixie again. Qixie was the same as usual. He didn't speak much and moved quickly, nothing unusual.
But this is only a superficial phenomenon. No one knows what it is like. The more Tang Sancheng thought about it, the more he became afraid. Could it be that the corpse-scented konjac has some side effects? Although the poison has been detoxified, has it been completely eliminated?
Thinking of this, Tang Sancheng squeezed his thigh desperately. It hurt! It must not have been an illusion. Wu Tong's face suddenly appeared next to Tang Sancheng: "What are you doing?"
Tang Sancheng said "uh": "It's nothing, I'm sleepy, pinch yourself."
This reason is true, I am really sleepy, tired and sleepy, especially after having a full meal just now, I feel even sleepier. Tang Sancheng yawned as he spoke, adding a bit of realism, Wu Tong said, "Well
" He made a sound and walked in front of Tang Sancheng disapprovingly. Now, we have to go down to another level. This is a bit like the road leading to the eighteenth level of hell. Now we are going to enter the third level...
