Chapter 336: Earth Fire (Continued 2)

When darkness fell, I realized that the mine was not as blind as I had imagined. When we shone a flashlight and a miner's lamp on the stone wall, the reflection on the surface of the coal jade made me ignore the stone wall itself. At this time, I suddenly noticed that the two small pieces of coal essence stones that Sun Ping and I rubbed out emitted a faint light, as if some strong light was shining on the back.

The transparency of the coal jade itself is not high, and it is as black as ink. The stone wall in front of me could not be very thin, and if the light could penetrate through it, it would be difficult to imagine how strong the light on that side was. Sun Ping dug out a spare flashlight in his backpack and was about to unscrew it, when I grabbed his hand.

"Old Sun, don't turn it on yet, just now our flashlight exploded at the same time, it may be related to the light behind this wall, we only have a spare flashlight, save a little. ”

Sun Ping nodded, put on his gloves, stood in front of the stone wall, and began to wipe the sludge on it, as if trying to figure out how big this piece of coal essence was. But he didn't wipe it twice, and the light that came out of it became noticeably stronger, and the stone wall in front of Sun Ping was no longer pitch black, but like a dark brown beer bottle, vaguely translucent.

At that moment, we all felt the temperature of the stone wall rise a lot in an instant, and a heat wave made us have to take a few steps back. Vaguely, from the piece of coal essence jade that we wiped clean, I seemed to see the constantly beating flames, reflecting the strange brilliance, erratic and moving.

The light reminded me of the polar lights, the illusions left behind by the steaming heat waves in the desert, the flares that exploded in the deep sea. The light seems to be soft, and in its oscillation, it induces the human brain to produce countless fantastic fantasies.

I believe that Sun Ping and Xiao Tian around me have the same feelings as me, a sense of unreality, and a real fear hidden behind it.

At that moment, we lost the concept of time, lost the judgment of space, and did not know how long we had been staring at it like this. But the light was still intensifying, and it seemed that the light source was slowly approaching us on the other side of the stone wall.

What brought us back to reality abruptly was that we saw a figure in the misty stone flames, a figure with only an upper body to be exact.

The figure was originally just a hazy black shadow, and I couldn't tell what it really was, but it was all wrapped in those flames. He was moving fast and was coming in our direction. Then we can gradually distinguish that there is a head, a neck, arms, and hands.

It was only when the hand slapped on the other side of the coal jade wall that I was able to confirm that what I was seeing was indeed a figure, not an illusion. But then, there seemed to be a huge force pushing behind it, and the black shadow didn't seem to be a natural way for people to walk, and I prefer to believe that it flew flat.

In a short moment, the black shadow smashed against the wall on that side, and although I didn't hear a sound, I could still feel the huge impact of the black shadow hitting the stone wall. The moment the shadow touched the wall, I was sure that the ethereal light and shadow were undoubtedly scorching flames.

The flames turned dark purple and scattered lightly from all sides of the black shadow, but as if countless tentacles stretched out, the black shadow was firmly wrapped in it, and then slowly fell with the black shadow.

Only the hand, as if glued to the stone wall, motionless, each finger trying to stretch outward, completely beyond the limit of the bone ligaments, however, it was only a short moment, because the palm was also wrapped in inky flames, the flames were like countless tiny snakes, twisting and twisting, firmly binding the fingers. Soon, as if it had lost its weight, the hand began to shake as the flames swayed, began to merge into the flames, seemed to become a part of it, no longer had its original shape, and soon dissipated.

This scene has been fixed in my brain for many years, and has even become a recurring image in my nightmares, as have Sun Ping and Xiao Tian. Although, after the incident of Chengjialing, we met by chance, and we would fork this topic, but I know that Sun Ping, who is a big smoker, quit smoking, no longer goes to the kitchen, and does not touch anything that can light a fire.

These were all digressions, but at the time, apart from the incomparably shocked in our hearts, the unbearable heat wave had almost scorched us, and we could not stay any longer in the shallow hole, so we retreated to the cave, and after a few minutes, the light in the coal essence jade gradually dimmed, and finally the cave was dark again.

The three of us didn't say anything, because the scene that just appeared happened in silence, and you can imagine what it would be like to watch a disaster movie in the cinema with a magnificent scene, but it was a silent movie, and all the audience in the cinema was silent.

I don't know if it was Lao Sun or Xiao Tian, he slapped my arm suddenly, and I came back from the shock and thought, and when I looked up, I saw that in the darkness in front of me, a little light suddenly appeared. The light was a little flickering, flickering and dimming, and seemed to be about to go out at any moment, and it was slowly moving in our direction.

Sun Ping couldn't care too much anymore, turned on the spare flashlight in his hand, and shone it towards the light in the tunnel.

The point of light stopped, and it took about a few seconds before it reacted to the light of the flashlight. We heard a weak cry, "Uncle Chang, is that you?"

It was Xiao Lei, it was Xiao Lei's voice, I patted Sun Ping in surprise and pulled him to walk forward quickly.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly noticed that my legs no longer seemed to belong to me, they were as heavy as lead, but my heart was beating much faster, my muscles were sore, and my fingertips were already twitching. I turned my head to look at Sun Ping, who was not much better off than me, his face was covered in sweat and his lips were pale.

"Chang, there is a serious lack of oxygen down here, don't be in a hurry, your body can't cover it. With that, he put down the backpack behind his back and threw it to Xiao Tian in the back.

"Xiao Tian, you are guarding the equipment in place, and I will go with Lao Chang. ”

The distance between us and Xiao Lei is only a few tens of meters, but these dozens of meters are almost the farthest dozens of meters in my life, and I took out a small iron box from my bag, which contained the reassuring pill I prepared. This thing has a good effect on the soul-capturing and form-changing demons. Demons harm people more or let people's inner fear be infinitely amplified, out of the body, it has the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest. But this pill has no effect on the delirium caused by lack of oxygen, I have never tried it, and now only dead horses are live horse doctors.

I handed one to Sun Ping, and he didn't seem to have the strength to think and ask, so he swallowed the medicine in one gulp. The pill was taken down, and the feeling of palpitations was obviously improved, although the limbs were still weak, but the blood flow in the brain was smooth, and the ability to think was recovering.

"Lao Chang, there are a lot of good things, is it really a person in the coal essence jade just now? Could it be that we hallucinate in the absence of oxygen?" Sun Ping's face was obviously normal, and his lips were also a little bloody.

"Old Sun, hallucinations are very ego things, do you think the three of us will have the same hallucinations at the same time? Besides, how could the lighting equipment of the three of us explode at the same time?"

"That's right, but what do you think we've just seen?"

"I don't know, but one thing is for sure, there must be a lot of space behind that coal jade wall. The temperature of the flame should be extremely high, otherwise it would not emit such a strong light, and it would not be possible for people to burn it out in such a short time. Moreover, the one who was burned by the flames must be a person, but I hope it wasn't Team Cao, but now that I see Xiao Lei, I can still be more down-to-earth. ”

Getting closer, I understood why Ray's movement seemed even harder than ours. He carried a man on his back, the man was motionless, his life and death unknown, and Xiao Lei still held a brass lampstand on one hand.

I walked forward quickly, and when Xiao Lei saw that it was me who was coming, his whole body was limp, and he was half-kneeling on the ground with one leg down, his head down and panting heavily. At this time, I noticed that the person behind Xiao Lei was actually the same Dr. Chen. It's just that Dr. Chen has been completely in a coma at this time, with less air in and more air out.

Sun Ping took Dr. Chen from Xiao Lei's back, put it on his shoulder, and walked in the direction of Xiao Tian. I didn't pick up Xiao Lei immediately, pulled out the kettle from my backpack, took out another pill of reassuring pills, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Lei took two sips of water, which was relieved, and slowly stood up against the cave wall.

"Uncle Chang, you should listen to Team Cao, you shouldn't come down, it's too weird. Xiao Lei struggled to finish a complete sentence.

"What about Team Cao and Xiao Duan? You know Team Cao stopped me from coming down, so I must have joined him below, what about the others?" I patted Xiao Lei on the shoulder and asked him anxiously.

"We also just joined up with the Cao team ten minutes ago. Before the convergence, Lao Qin had already been killed, and Liu Xiaowu tracked him into the depths of the alley. Team Cao and Xiao Duan went to find Liu Xiaowu, Da Xu was unconscious in front, and I had to get Da Xu back. Xiao Lei's words were a little incoherent, and it seemed that the medicinal effect of the Concentration Pill had not yet fully worked.

"Lao Qin was killed, was it Dr. Chen who did it?" I held Xiao Lei who straightened up, and hurriedly asked him again.

Xiao Lei shook his head, "No, things are a little different from what we thought, I was saved by Dr. Chen." ”
