Chapter 24: The Cave
Where is the road? I saw that on both sides of the intersection were towering mountain walls, and the only passable sheep intestine path in the middle was blocked by the huge rocks and sediment like a hill at this time, and there were steel barbed iron plates and other things densely spread all over it, which was impassable at all.

"Boss, this road is blocked, what can I do?" The subordinate who called Zhang Chong said in a panicked tone.
"Wang Wu, aren't you an earth-based powerhouse? Let's see if we can get this way across! The fat man ignored Zhang Chong and said in a deep voice to Wang Wudao.
Wang Wu's face was embarrassed, and after a little hesitation, he still shook his head: "With my current ability, at most I can move a small pile, the mud and sand here are all small mountains high, and when I get rid of it, I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey." ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions were a little discouraged. They don't have a car, and they can't get through here, so do they have to walk back the same way? But even if they walked back, they didn't have much to eat, there was no food in the village, and there was nothing to supply on the way back, what could they do?!
"Boss, I think something is wrong, since I came to this village, strange things have happened one after another, and it seems that someone is secretly trying to trap us here." Liu Xu suddenly opened his mouth with a solemn expression.
The fat man is not an idiot, he has thought of this since the road was blocked, but now he has no way at all.
"Fat brother, Brother Xu, see if there is a mountain over there." Li Xinyan, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth and pointed to a small mountain road not far away, "We don't have to go through here, we can find our way around the mountain over there." ”
Everyone looked over there, and suddenly there was a look in their eyes again, it was really another village, it was just dawn, and they didn't even notice that there was a mountain over there.
The fat man's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly beckoned everyone to go towards the mountain. Liu Xu looked around, looked at the mountain in the distance, and although he was still a little worried in his heart, he still took Liu Xiaoxin, who was still stunned, to follow.
"Follow me, there's something wrong with this place." Lin Luo stared at Li Xinyan, who was walking in front, and said to Little Brother Lin in a deep voice.
"Well, sister, don't worry, I'm not that weak." Little Brother Lin clenched his little fist in front of Lin Luo, with an expression that I can do.
They didn't go far before they came to the foot of the mountain, which looked small from a distance, but was very tall and steep up close. When I looked up, I saw that the whole mountain was covered with trees. The trees that should have been lush were now half dead, and the rest looked half-dead.
Although the sky is already bright at this time, because of the obscuration of the trees, the mountain forest is still very dim and looks very gloomy.
"I ...... Shall we go in? Zhou Xiaoliu has always been bold, and it is inevitable that he will hesitate at this time.
"If you don't go from here, where are you going, Xiaoliu, you won't dare to go up the mountain, right?" Li Xinyan saw that he was retreating, her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly said sarcastically.
"Who...... Who is afraid! Zhou Xiaoliu hurriedly retorted.
"Let's go." The fat man looked at him, gritted his teeth, and went up, and the crowd followed, and they had no other way out.
The way up the mountain was as smooth as everyone imagined, and although the mountain wall was relatively steep, each of them had good physical strength and ability, so it didn't take much effort. And although it looked gloomy here, there was no danger when they climbed up all the way, so everyone's tense hearts gradually relaxed since they went up the mountain.
It didn't take long for the group to climb to the top of the mountain. It's just that the sight at the top of the mountain stunned them again.
I saw that there was no way down the mountain except for a small bridge that was built in the air to lead to a cave on the opposite side, and from the top of the mountain to the bottom, all around were vertical and smooth mountain walls, unless you wanted to find death, you must not go from these places.
"What should I do?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Cross the bridge!" The fat man's face flashed with determination, and he said in a deep voice.
The bridge was built entirely of wood and thick hemp rope, which were not of their original color and looked old. As soon as you walk up, there will be a "squeak, squeak" sound under your feet, and the entire bridge will sway, as if you will fall down if you are not careful, and even look down at the irregular wooden plank gap under your feet, and you can see the scene under the bridge.
Out of the will to survive, no one flinched, and everyone trembled across this veritable dangerous bridge to the other side of the mountain. Fortunately, everyone is in danger.
Everyone trembled and stepped on the ground, and their hearts settled down and began to look into the cave. It was so dark in the cave that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Liu Xu took out a flashlight, and everyone slowly groped into the hole by relying on the weak beam of the flashlight.
The cave was very long and narrow, and the walls of the cave were damp, and everyone walked for a long time, one foot deep and one shallow, and there was no end to it.
Gradually, as everyone went deeper, the whole cave suddenly widened, and came to a wide clearing, and there were seven or eight small holes around the clearing, and I don't know where it leads.
"What to do? Which one do we take? Liu Xu hesitantly asked the fat man beside him.
The fat man walked around the entrances of the caves, and he didn't make up his mind for a long time. Finally, he looked around at everyone in a deep voice: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
"Otherwise, we'll start looking for them one by one from the left, can't we still go back, we can always find the exit." Li Xinyan was the first to speak.
The others nodded in agreement. After all, there are so many roads, and no one can tell which one it is, so it is better to find them one by one.
The fat man pondered for a moment, groaned slightly, and was about to nod in agreement.
"Wait, go this way." Lin Luo, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke up and pointed to the second hole on the right.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Lin Luo was based on, and hesitated for a while.
"There are so many roads, why do you take that one?" Liu Xu hurriedly opened his mouth and asked the doubts in his heart on behalf of everyone.
"Intuition." Lin Luo lightly spit out two words from his mouth. In fact, she herself is not sure whether her inference is correct.
Just now, for some reason, when Li Xinyan proposed to start looking for them one by one from the left, she suddenly had a sense of unease, although this feeling was not very strong, but because of a killer's keen intuition of danger, she still couldn't ignore it.
In addition, she caught a flash of smug look on Li Xinyan's face when the fat man was about to nod in agreement, and she didn't want to follow the route proposed by Li Xinyan.
Moreover, the most important point is that since they entered this cave, Xiaobai, who had been temporarily pacified by the spar in the village, became excited again. Out of caution about the unknown things ahead, Lin Luo temporarily sealed Xiaobai's dumb acupoints and body acupoints. And just now, when they stepped on this clearing, Xiaobai obviously had a particularly excited reaction to the second hole on the right. The little head kept looking in that direction, as if there was something longing for in it.
Whether it's to get out or for Xiaobai, she has to go to the hole to find out first. It's just that these reasons are not suitable to go into detail with these people.
"Snort~ I thought you had any basis, just because of an intuition, everyone has to follow you? Who do you think you are? Li Xinyan glanced at Lin Luo with disdain, full of mockery.
"Yes, Lin Luo, do you have any other reasons? You can't just go there because you say a word, after all, this place is full of weirdness, and we better follow the rules. Wang Wu, who rarely spoke, also interjected.
Looking at the people with disapproval on their faces, Lin Luo shook his head, and then said expressionlessly: "No, I have already decided, just go from here, if you don't agree, then let's part ways." After speaking, he took Brother Lin and Xiaobai and walked into the cave in a few steps. It was originally a group of people who got together for profit, and they didn't have a disagreement, of course, she had to leave, and she didn't hesitate at all.
"Fat brother, are we going to keep up." Zhou Xiaoliu whispered.
"Fat brother, no! There are so many roads here, who knows where they lead, just choose one, if we are confused in all directions, what should we do, or find them from the left one by one, so that we can also leave marks along the way, so as not to get lost in it. Li Xinyan strongly objected.
"However, you can't let Lin Luo and them go by themselves, if they encounter any danger......," Liu Xu said worriedly.
"That's what they deserved, who let her go by herself. Since she said that she parted ways, why should we care about her life or death? Li Xinyan intercepted the conversation and choked up.
……
Here, Lin Luo didn't know that the group of people behind had a dispute over her. At this time, she unlocked the acupoint on Xiaobai's body, let it open the way in front, and she and Little Brother Lin followed behind it, groping inside little by little.
Unexpectedly, this hole was different from the previous one, getting narrower and narrower, and in the end, Lin Luo could only hunch forward, and Little Brother Lin was protected by her. The color of the cave walls gradually changed from gray-black to yellow-black.
After walking for dozens of meters, Xiao Bai, who was flying in front, suddenly screamed a few times, and then rushed out of the hole that finally appeared. Lin Luo followed.
As a result, the scene that entered the eyes made Lin Luo's pupils shrink.
I saw that this was a place ten times larger than the open space just now. Looking up, you can see that the high altitude of the cave wall is shrouded in a strange black-gray gas, and there is a circular altar surrounded by chains in the center of the ground, and there is a big gossip on the ground in the center of the altar, and the ground where the two dots in the center of the gossip are located has been chiseled through, and at this time there are strands of red liquid bubbling outward, flowing along the dark groove of the gossip to a pool of blood not far away.
The most shocking thing is that on the eight pillars around the altar, there are eight human skeletons tied in chains, each of which is facing a specific direction, which looks terrifying.
