Chapter 163: Into the Cave
"Brother, what is this?" Feng Chengru said after running over from the room where the stove was placed, at this time he took a thing in each of his hands and gestured in front of his old friend,
"Oh, it's those two mountain axes! Brother, you still think about it, this is a low-level magic weapon, we just lack a weapon for self-defense, this axe is just right for the two of us." There's one more thing we'd better bring with us, wait a minute, I'll get it." Li Xing'an seemed to be reminded by Feng Chengru, he also ran to the stove, soon came out, entered the hall again, and ran back to Feng Chengru after a while,
"Brother, look, we still have to bring this. Li Xing'an said as he let go of his fingers, and there was a night pearl on each of his palms.
"Hehe, let's borrow it first, originally I wanted to use a torch, the fire fold was originally used for emergency, and now there is a night pearl illuminated, it is better, anyway, there are a lot of them in the canteen, and it won't attract attention if we take two of them." Brother, let's go, let's go back. After Feng Chengru finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard where the canteen was located, and Li Xingan also followed, and the two quickly returned to the courtyard of No. 26 without saying a word.
"Brother, I just checked the Seven Astrolabe we have, and the spirit stones on it are all unused, and they are still in a state of waiting to be activated. I just used them as markers this time, so I think it would be enough to get down there, and we won't get lost, but if we run out of beads, we won't be able to go any further. Feng Chengru said,
"Brother, okay, just do as you say, it's right for us to be cautious. Li Xingan responded,
"I'll put a little bead from the seven-star disk on this bed as the first mark, I'll be the first to go down, and you'll follow. ”
"Brother, I'll be the first to go down. ”
"You don't have to fight with me about this, I have the final say on this matter. Feng Chengru didn't wait for his old friend to reply, so he opened the reed mat aside, came to the bed and stood on the edge of the hole, took out the mountain axe and the night pearl from the storage bag, held the axe in one hand, and held the night pearl in the other hand, and jumped into the hole. Li Xing'an in the back did the same.
The ground of this cave is not deep from the entrance of the cave, that is, the height of an adult, and on the wall of the cave on one side, there is a diagonal downward corridor, which is as wide as two people side by side, and there is no end in sight in the dark.
After Feng Li and the others came down, they covered their mouths and noses and waited for a while, and after most of the floating dust fell, then Feng Chengru said: "Help take the night pearl, light it up for me, and I'll look at the broken array disks." ”,
After Feng Chengru finished speaking, he handed the things in his hand to his old friend, and he squatted down, picked up a piece of the fragment with his free hand, observed it carefully, put it down after a while, and picked up another piece to check it carefully...
"Brother, look here. Feng Chengru brought a fragment to Li Xing'an's eyes, and the latter also squatted down at this time.
"Hmm... The traces on this... I watched... It looks like a tooth mark. Li Xing'an looked at it for a moment and said,
"I think it's Xiao Hei or Xiao Gray gnawing, this is almost the same as our previous guess, it's just a few of them doing this, it will definitely not be wrong, you give me the Night Pearl, and then let's check this cave wall to see if there are any new discoveries." Feng Chengru said with great certainty at this time, because this evidence could show that the array disk was destroyed by the Spirit Devouring Rat.
"Okay. Li Xing'an agreed, and returned the night pearl to the other party, and then the two began to look carefully from both sides of the hole that was diagonally downward.
"Xing'an, come and take a look here. Feng Chengru called out at this time, and pointed to a place with his finger.
"Hey, this is the place where the array disk is installed, and now it's all broken into pieces, so how are we going to cover up this hole?"
"Brother, even if the array disk is complete, if there is no corresponding spell and opening technique, there is still no way to hide this hole. ”
"Brother, yes, there is no formula, we have a formation plate and it is useless. ”
"Whether there are mantras or array disks now, I don't think it's too important, as for this hole, let's just find a wooden board about the size of a bed and cover it. What I'm more worried about now is that it feels like a backup exit, otherwise I wouldn't have pressed the array plate against the cave wall, and no matter how I look at it, it looks like this hole has been unilaterally sealed from the bottom up. Feng Chengru expressed his worries.
"It's really possible, if this hole is really spare, it means that there is more than one opening down there. Brother, do you think this hole will be able to lead to the courtyards of other senior brothers?" Li Xingan spoke, pointing forward with his axe-holding hand, and then gestured with the axe on the top of the two people's heads.
"It's... This one... It's really hard to say this, my idea is to go down first and see what the situation is and then make a calculation, have you forgotten? In the jade slip that Dean Lou gave us, there is a map of the approximate distribution of each part of the main courtyard, let's compare the location of the Seven Star Disk Beads with the direction on the map, and maybe we can guess what position it will lead to. Feng Chengru said with some uncertainty,
"Well, let's go down and have a look, there's no way to judge from here. Li Xingan said,
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll put all the pieces away, maybe I'll find out what kind of formation it is later. Feng Chengru said, and put the fragments of the array into the storage bag. Then he walked to the opening of the corridor and crouched down again to take a closer look.
"Brother, these are the footprints of the little black. Li Xing'an said at this time, he saw his old friend squatting, and he also squatted down, under the light of the night pearl, he could see that the ground was covered with a relatively thick layer of dust, and there were two kinds of footprints of different sizes on it, extending forward from the opening.
"Well, it's a few of them, and no one has been to this place for a long time, and when we go by in a while, I'll walk in front, and I'll be in charge of checking what's on the ground and what's in front of you, and you're in the back, so keep your attention on the cave walls on both sides, and you'll have to keep an eye on the top of your head. Feng Chengru thought for a moment and said,
"Brother, okay, you be more careful, we have to be close to each other, we can't be far apart. Li Xingan said,
"Wait a minute, to be on the safe side, you and I will use our divine senses to contact Xiao Hei and Xiao Gray again. ”
"Brother, okay, it's safe. After Li Xing'an finished speaking, he and Feng Chengru used the divine sense transmission to summon the spirit devouring rat, and after a while, the two young beasts responded, but the meaning expressed was still very vague.
"I received it, it came from below. ”
"Brother, I also received a reply, but I don't understand what they mean. ”
"I don't understand what they mean. Anyway, just find them. I'm going to go in, you follow closely. After Feng Chengru finished speaking, he stood up, walked forward with the Night Pearl in his hand, and Li Xingan also stood up and walked in.
