Chapter 54: The Corpse in the Pool

Although this cave is vertically downward, it is not difficult to walk. It is surrounded by uneven wooden blocks, which is easy to use. But not long after walking, the cave suddenly turned into stone. I felt that I had reached Guihuai now.

Under the tree, but the environment suddenly changed, and I was a little confused about where I was.

This cave is not very deep, it ends about fifty meters away, and there is a large stone cave at the bottom. As soon as I got here, I saw an artificially built altar, which was the same as what I saw above.

There is a bronze human sculpture on the altar.

What shocked me was that there was a giant bronze door behind the altar, which was even bigger than the two doors above. But this giant door has been opened now. I knew it must have been made by the old man without guessing.

, it seems that he has already entered.

I was a little excited, not only because I felt that I was about to touch the core of the secret, but also because I was getting closer and closer to the old man. I was sure that he must be hiding somewhere inside this huge door.

The place.

But what makes me a little embarrassed now is that the monster is walking in the opposite direction to the giant bronze door. I don't know whether to enter the giant bronze door or chase the monster.

After thinking about it, I walked into the giant bronze door. Who knows where the monster is going, but behind the giant bronze door there must be a road leading to the secret destination. Since the old man has already entered through here, why can't I do the same.

The space behind the giant bronze door is not as huge as I imagined. It is still a naturally formed cave, but there are two stone statues built on both sides of the cave entrance. Two people kneel on the ground opposite each other, as if to welcome people.

s arrival.

I was just about to walk into the cave, but suddenly I found a faint mark on the forehead of a stone man. When I walked over, I saw that it was carved by man, and it was carved not long ago.

After careful identification, I found that this is the word "田". I was a little confused, who left this word? What does it represent?

I looked at the dark grotto, and suddenly my heart moved, could this be left by the old man?

I looked at this character carefully, and finally discovered some mystery. If the two vertical characters on both sides of this character Tian were removed, it would be the character "王". Doesn't it represent the last names of me and the old man? And those two vertical characters are like the words in front of me.

cave, does that mean he has already entered this cave?

I feel like my guess is not wrong, I just don’t know who this mark is for. Me or someone else?

I carefully walked into the cave. It was very spacious inside, nearly three meters wide. From time to time, I could encounter some tree roots, which penetrated through the rocks above and penetrated deeper into the cave.

The terrain gradually opened up, and I found some blood stains in some places, and there were bullet holes around the cave. It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here before. It seemed that they must be Chen Xiazi's group, I thought to myself

The pace unconsciously quickened.

The deeper you go, the more mysterious the color becomes. This grotto seems to be naturally formed, but it has been artificially cast. The walls on both sides are covered with deep-colored murals.

Most of the pictures are character paintings, consisting only of some simple lines, with no sense of beauty at all. One grand scene caught my attention, and after reading this painting, some of my previous guesses were finally confirmed.

The main scene of the picture is in the big pit under the Divine Lake. There are many naked people building the stone city. Below is the giant ghost locust tree, and each branch is covered by stone houses.

Inside, it looks like it is built on a giant tree. But there are some pictures that I have not seen before. The pictures show that there is a strange place in this giant ghost locust tree. It is completely inside this ghost locust tree.

A building that looks like a stone castle is carved out. What is surprising is that the picture shows that the building is floating, standing suspended on the top of the tree among the trees.

It's a pity that I definitely can't go up now, otherwise I must have a good experience.

The cave went straight down, and there was an artificial stone step, but it didn't take long to reach the end. The strange thing was that there was no way down here, there was only a small pool in the middle of the cave, and everything was empty.

Obviously, there must be something wrong with this pool. I hesitated for a moment and then went down. The water inside was not very cold, nor was it too deep. It only reached the base of my neck. I groped around the pool, hoping to find a way to the water pool.

Entrance elsewhere.

But before I could find the entrance, I touched a round and furry thing. I knew by feeling that it was a human head.

Maybe it was because I had seen too many dead people, so I didn't feel much fear at this time. I grabbed the man's body with both hands and pulled him up from the water.

This was a middle-aged man, about forty years old. It looked like he had just died. The body was still very intact, not even swollen. It had definitely not been soaked in water for more than twenty hours.

The cause of his death was not an accident, but he was killed. He was killed by someone. There was a dagger on his back that pierced his heart. It seemed that someone had sneaked up on him and fatally struck him in the back.

This corpse makes people full of doubts. What is his identity? Since he can sneak attack behind him, it is probably someone he knows well. But since he is a familiar person, why should he attack him? It is definitely not the case.

An enemy will not be defenseless when facing an enemy. Is it for money? Or some other reason? At least, if it can make a person have murderous intention, that reason must be very special.

The only thing that caught my attention was this person's identity. Not many people were able to enter here. As far as I know, only Tang Sword Man Lu Jinghong of Mr. Zhang's group came in. The two brothers Wu Jun were blocked.

Outside, Chen Xiazi and Li Dalongtou are two possibilities. No one has seen Li Dalongtou since he disappeared, but I am sure that he has come in, but it is not clear how many people he brought with him.

But no matter which party it is, the internal strife that occurs here can remind people of many things, and it can have a great impact on the development of things.

I entered the pool again, and this time I found the entrance smoothly. It was a man-made staircase, but it was submerged in water. I didn’t know how long it was, so I didn’t dare to enter rashly.

But thinking that the people in front of me must have already gone in, I decided to dive into the water too. Since they can do it, I can do it too, I comforted myself in my mind.

I didn't expect that this section of the stairs was in a V shape. I sneaked diagonally downward for about three meters to the bottom, and then extended diagonally upward.

When I ran out of breath, I rushed out of the water. Before I could breathe, I felt a sharp pain in my head, as if I had hit something.

I felt like I raised the flashlight to take a look, but I was suddenly stunned. This is a very large place, with water as far as the eye can see, and rocks above it. There is only a one-foot-wide gap between the water surface and the rocks.

It was because I used too much force when I emerged from the water and hit the rocks above.

Moreover, there are tree roots everywhere, the small ones are only as thick as an arm, and the large ones are only half a meter thick. Compared to the giant ghost locust tree, these can only be regarded as roots.

Walking in the water is not a good thing, because you can't see anything in front of you, you can only see a gap between the rocks and the water. If there is any danger in the water, you can't find it at all.

The only thing that makes me feel at ease is that the water here is not deep. When you walk in it, you can just show your head. There are rocks half a foot above, as if it was carefully designed.

Now that I'm here, I can only settle down and walk forward. It's quiet here, with only the sound of water when I walk. Every few steps I come across some tree roots. At this time, I can only choose to turn over or

Drill through the water.

After walking about fifty meters, the rock wall behind me was no longer visible, but there was still no end in sight in front and on both sides. I only felt that there were tree roots and water everywhere. Not to mention the direction, even where to go was a bit unclear.

Undecided.

Try your luck! I thought to myself and kept walking forward. After walking for half an hour, the tree roots around me gradually decreased until they finally disappeared.

Suddenly, some stone statues appeared in front of me. From the water, I could only see heads. There were a lot of them, but they were arranged very neatly. They held strange weapons in their hands, like spears and sickles.

Just like the Terracotta Warriors.

The only difference is that these stone carvings all have big ears, big noses and big mouths, with very uneven proportions of facial features, and their eyes are tightly closed, or there are no eyes depicted at all, so they look very weird.

I suddenly thought of the corpse mountain that Shuiyue and I had seen before. The corpses on it were all made into statues. I suddenly became a little nervous. If these stone sculptures were also dead people, it would be a bit scary.

I moved to the side, trying to bypass this piece of stone carvings, but soon found that there were also many on the other side. These stone carvings seemed to form a square array, with hundreds of stone carvings in each piece, leaving only a line in the middle.

A gap several meters wide.

It seemed that it had to go through the middle. I took a deep breath and walked slowly over. When I got closer, I found that it was not that scary. These stone sculptures all had their eyes closed, so they didn't seem to be so stressful.

.

But as soon as we reached the middle of the group of stone sculptures, a problem arose. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in front of us, and then a "hehe" laughter came from behind. The sound was sharp and gloomy, making people feel chilled in their hearts.

I swallowed and couldn't help but look back, only to find something strange.

These stone sculptures are all facing forward. When I walked past, they should have their backs to me, but now I see that one of the stone sculptures is facing the direction I am, and it is not closed like the other stone sculptures.

His eyes were opened hollowly, with a strange smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
