Chapter 63: The Stone Cave in the Forest
I felt that this was a bit risky, so I took the initiative to advise him that it was best not to spread the large army too widely, in case someone was left alone and what happened to him, it was not a joke.
Captain Wang glanced at me and asked me what I had planned? I couldn't answer, and I was thinking about what to do, when I suddenly heard someone shouting my name, which sounded like Wang Jie's voice, so I hurriedly ran over and asked Wang Jie if he had found anything.
He pointed to a clump of trees and told me, "I just found a footprint in front of me, very small, as if they were left by a woman." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked where the footprints were? Wang Jie said, "You come with me," and then walked ahead to lead the way.
The more Team Sun looked at it, the more strange it became, and he frowned and said, "Strange, how can someone walk barefoot in the shade of this deep mountain and old forest?"
I looked at the past, and sure enough, this footprint is not big, only thirty-four or five yards, the feet of ordinary adult men are basically between 41 yards and 43 yards, such a small pair of footprints, can only be left by women, but this place is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is impossible for a normal woman to walk barefoot.
Team Sun pondered for a while, and then said, "No matter, since there are footprints, it means that there are likely to be survivors around here, let's follow the footprints to find them, and there will be some gains!"
Captain Wang also agreed, and soon gathered his troops again, and continued to walk along the shade of the trees, except for me, looking at the small footprints on the ground, and my heart was inexplicably a little uneasy.
The footprints were so new, they looked like they had just been left behind, and the group of travelers should have entered here a week ago, and even if someone was barefoot, they would have almost disappeared after the rain.
It was clear that the footprints did not belong to any of the travelers.
Team Sun caught the change in my face, so he pulled my sleeve and asked me what I had found? I told the question in my heart, his face suddenly became strange, and he also felt that my analysis was very reasonable, so he shook his head and said, "This place is indeed not very peaceful, in short, everyone should be careful when entering the mountain, and try not to break away from the army." ”
We followed the footprints for a short time, and came to a shady dirt slope, by this time many people in the team had already found the mouth, and hurried to the front without warning, and one of Sun's subordinates also ran over excitedly, dancing at us, saying that the hole had been found.
I hurriedly went to look, and sure enough, in the shady corner of the dirt slope, I found a cave that was not very large, with vines crawling around the cave wall, hanging low in green, and the black hole exposed was about one meter wide, just enough for an adult to pass through normally.
Most of the cave is covered with vines, which seems very hidden, and if it were not for the guidance of these footprints, I am afraid that we may not have been able to find it in half a day.
I crouched near the footprints, looking at them from time to time, and my gaze shifted along the footprints, until I reached the bottom of the dark cavern, which looked like the mouth of a python, black and unsightly, leading out of sight.
For some reason, I always felt a little uneasy in my heart, as if some danger awaited me in the dark.
At this time, Team Sun brought the horse guide to the front, pointed to the environment at the edge of the hole, and asked him to confirm that this hole was the one he had drilled.
The horse guide looked at it for a long time and said yes. Then Team Sun asked him again, do you know how deep this cave is? The horse guide was full of confusion, and said that he didn't know, and when they were hiding from the rain, they basically stayed outside the edge of the cave, and they didn't know the situation in the cave, and they didn't dare to go too deep.
Captain Wang proposed, "Since you have found the entrance to the cave, you will naturally go in and have a look, but the environment in this cave is complicated, and you can't let all of them in at once, so you have to leave some people outside to guard and be ready to support at any time." ”
Team Sun nodded and said, "I think so, we will each divide half of the people to go in, and the other half will light a fire outside the cave and wait, if there is really danger inside, you can quickly run outside, and we will immediately use guns to support." ”
So far, it can only be like this, and then Captain Wang looked at the horse guide and said that you have entered the cave before, you should be more familiar with the road conditions in the cave, it is better for you to lead the way.
The horse guide immediately shook his head like a rattle, and loudly refused, saying no, as long as he entered this hole, he would lose his memory, and there would definitely be a problem at that time!
Speaking of this, he was weak, his face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept flowing outward, and Team Sun saw this and said, "Your current problem is very serious, if you don't fully cooperate with us to investigate the matter clearly, after you go back, the prosecutor will definitely prosecute you, at least it is also a manslaughter crime, you can answer after you think about it." ”
The horse guide suddenly became anxious, "I was wronged, I really didn't kill anyone......
Captain Wang said with a tiger face, "We also believe that you didn't kill anyone, but the evidence is here, if you refuse to cooperate with us and find other evidence to prove your innocence, how the court will judge at that time is not something we can tell." ”
These two sentences are very lethal, and the horse guide immediately did not make noise or noise, nodded very obediently, and expressed his willingness to lead the way, but there are conditions, and we must ensure his safety.
After finishing the matter, Team Sun came to me again, and he stopped talking a little. I understood what he wanted to say, so I offered to follow the advance troops in to have a look, and Team Sun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said to me, "I have a lot of work for you, and when this matter passes, I will definitely hold a celebration banquet for you." ”
I smiled and shook my head, saying that there is no need for the celebration banquet, you just need to remember that you owe me a favor.
Actually, the reason why I agreed to be so happy was partly out of curiosity, wanting to see if there was really something terrible in this cave.
On the other hand, I have a lot of confidence in these heavily armed warriors, you must know that no matter how powerful the mountain spirits are, after all, they are just some low-level monsters who are good at creating illusions to confuse humans.
Secondly, I'm not muddy, under the cultivation of God Devouring Gu for a few months, I feel that my ability is steadily improving, and when it really comes to the time when it is necessary, not to mention killing all sides, there should be no problem with self-preservation.
Thinking so, I agreed very happily, out of prudence, Team Sun still took off his matching gun, stuffed it into my hand, and whispered, "I know that you are good, but it is more convenient to bring a pistol after all, do you know how to shoot? Let me teach you, you have to take insurance first......
As he spoke, he conducted a surprise training for me, and I quickly mastered the essentials of shooting, and my heart was eager to try, at this time Captain Wang had already dispatched troops and arranged the personnel properly, and looked back at me, "After entering, you'd better not run casually, just follow us honestly." ”
His words fully exposed his distrust of my ability, and I didn't bother to argue with him, so I nodded, indicating that I understood.
Then Team Sun distributed a flashlight to each of us, and brought nylon ropes, fishing nets, folding sabers and cinnabar, etc., led by Captain Wang, and the group carefully carried the flashlight and slowly groped into the hole.
