Along the way, everyone had become frightened. When Luo Kaiwen called out, everyone hurriedly gathered into a group, protecting Professor Guo, Zhao Ziqian and Zhu Shengqiu in the middle. The other six people drew their weapons and formed a circle. I looked around. Look, apart from the big rocks, there was no danger. I couldn't help but glance at Luo Kaiwen in confusion.
In fact, I am not the only one who is confused. Song Yingjie turned his eyes a few times and looked at Luo Kaiwen. His eyes were obviously confused, especially Ma Tuzi. Even Xiao Donghu was probably confused by Zhu Shengqiu's annoyance. , and didn’t notice anything.
Luo Kaiwen stared blankly at the ground without saying a word, his eyes full of disappointment and a hint of anger. I quickly followed his gaze and saw that apart from a few smaller gravels, there were a few pieces of oil paper scattered on the ground. , there is nothing else at all.
Just when I was about to ask, my mind suddenly exploded, oil paper! By the way, the problem is the oil paper. This place is located in a large desert, and it is at least several kilometers underground. Apart from us, there will be no one else at all. And these pieces of oil paper were what we originally used to wrap the dried meat. Just now all the dried meat and water were swept away, and the oil paper was naturally thrown to the ground.
But we have walked three or four miles and come down, so why do we see oil paper again? There can only be two reasons for this. One is that there are still people alive or passing by in the team that came down before us. But this point It's basically impossible, because we didn't find any traces from the Scorpion Cave. There was thick dust everywhere along the way, but we didn't even see any footprints, so this can basically be ruled out.
Then there is only one possibility left. These pieces of oil paper were lost by ourselves. In other words, after walking three or four miles, we circled back to the entrance of this huge cave.
This discovery was like a bolt from the blue to us. Our food and water had been exhausted just now, and there was no way we could sustain it for much longer. Apart from stones, there were no other signs of life here. It was impossible for anything to lead us around. There is only a dead end to go out and go back. In other words, if we can't find the correct exit route, we will all be trapped here alive.
The glimmer of hope that had just arisen turned into disappointment again within half an hour. This blow almost destroyed my nerves. If there had been no hope, maybe I could have persisted a little longer and gave us A bubble of hope was suddenly shattered by a needle. This is the most tortured thing.
Xiao Donghu, Liu Haidong, and Song Yingjie were not idiots. When they saw the pieces of oil paper, they all understood. They also looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces instantly darkened. Song Yingjie even sat down on the ground. He cursed loudly: "***, just die! If you die, you will be a hundred. I can't afford it, and I won't serve you anymore. Who can give me a knife to make me die quickly?"
But Luo Kaiwen had a gloomy face, grabbed Zhao Ziqian's collar, pulled Zhao Ziqian in front of him with one hand, and said sinisterly: "Tell me, do you think there is any mention of how to cross in the text on the stone tower? This rocky cave?”
I heard Luo Kaiwen ask this, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in my heart. Cang Xiao and others once came from the opposite side of the cave and successfully reached the cave where the Heart-Eating Vine was hidden. They also engraved their journey on the stone tower, saying Perhaps those obscure words contain instructions on how to get through this rocky cave.
