Chapter 82: The Secret in the Cave (4)
After entering the cave, as you climb the winding stone steps, the cave is not as dry as you imagined, but humid and damp.
The stone walls on both sides of the stone steps, some of which are naturally formed, and some of which have obvious traces of chiseling, it seems that the completion of this passage took a lot of thought and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
After walking for a long time, the stone steps suddenly began to soften, not as steep as before, and after the gentle stone steps were finished, a flat path appeared in front of me.
"How much manpower and material resources do it take?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Once a person is crazy, what kind of things can't be done, what kind of tasks can't be completed?" Hong Menjia sighed.
"We've been walking for a long time, and the road is suddenly flat, could it be that we are about to reach the top?" Xiao An still walked in front of the road, and looked back at us from time to time.
"It's almost time!" Hong Menjia responded.
Thinking that they would soon see the light of day again, the three of them quickened their pace forward with a happy look, but after walking for a while, a difficult problem appeared in front of us - two stone steps that climbed up the stairs.
"What should I do?" Xiao An looked back at us and asked, "Which one should I take?" ”
"Two roads, there must be a lifetime, one death, I really can't imagine that this stinky woman is afraid that I will escape, and set such a problem for me!"
"Mr. Hong, what should we do next?" Xiao An asked.
I looked closely at the two stone steps, hoping to find something, but since this place has been a long time, no, I should say that no one has walked it for about ten years, and there is a layer of dust on both stone steps, and I can't see any clues, how is this good?
"Xiao An, can you see the difference between these two paths?" I looked at Xiao An and asked.
Xiao An shook his head blankly.
I thought to myself, if I can't even see her, then all we have left is a gamble!
"The three of us can't take the same path, once we choose the wrong one, the whole army will be wiped out, so, for the sake of insurance, we still divide into two ways, but this is a choice of life and death, and the wrong one can never turn back, and the one who lives must stop the conspiracy of the stinky woman! Listen, the best way to stop the red-tailed mermaid from breeding a large number of mermaids is to kill her, and the best way is to give it to me, as long as I erase her recessive genes, even if she has more seeds in her body, it won't help! ”
I thought to myself, in order to save the life of the red-tailed mermaid, Hong Menjia must live, but even if Hong Menjia walks out of the stone cave, he alone is afraid that it will be difficult to stop the conspiracy, so it is better to let Xiao An accompany him, thinking of this, I opened my mouth and said: "Xiao An, whether it is life or death, I have seen it lightly, Mr. Hong needs protection, so I will entrust you to take care of it, with your protection, you will be able to perfectly stop Yunxin's conspiracy!" ”
"Brother Xiaowen, no matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter, I will definitely protect Mr. Hong's safety, and you must also be strong to live, if-, baa, baa, I'll think of some unlucky words!"
I chuckled and said, "If I don't succeed in getting out, remember to complete the task and help me build a torii on the island, and I will be satisfied!" ”
After saying goodbye to them, I also chose one of the stone steps to climb the stairs, I don't want to walk up ten steps, there was a sound behind me, turned my head to look, I don't know where to fall a boulder, the way back to block, I thought to myself that my luck is really bad, look at the current situation, the road I chose, must be a dead end, now, there is no way to retreat, can only go forward!
With a nervous mood, I walked for a while, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and I didn't suddenly come out of somewhere to hit a boulder, but after walking for a while, the upward stone steps suddenly turned around, and went down slightly, I thought, this road builder, it's really interesting, this up and down walking, isn't it a waste of time?
The surroundings were quiet, and I don't know what happened to the road that Hong Menjia and Xiao An took? As I move forward, the field of vision in front of me is getting wider and wider, the air is getting more and more humid, and occasionally I can hear the sound of dripping, but I look around, and I can't find the source of the sound of dripping, maybe the sound of water droplets comes from a far away, just because I have the ability to listen to all directions, so I can hear it!
After walking for a while, in addition to feeling the increasingly humid air, it seems that I can also feel a fishy smell from time to time, fishy? Yes, the smell of a sea breeze, strange, it is rare for such humid air to have such a humid air in this cave, and from time to time such a fishy sea breeze has made people feel even more strange, is it possible that my location is already close to the sea?
Suddenly, there was a beeping sound under my feet, as if something was broken, I looked down nervously and curiously, I didn't know if I didn't know, I was startled when I saw it, I had been looking around before, I had never looked down, now I looked, it was really three souls scared off two and a half souls, the stone steps under my feet were actually suspended, yes, yes, it was suspended in the air, as if encouraged by some kind of magical power, the long stone steps were all floating in the air, at this moment, my heart was afraid of almost jumping to my throat, every step before, If you are not careful, you will fall into this deep valley and fall to pieces!
However, the most terrible thing in front of me is not these, but with the fishy sea breeze, these stone steps under my feet began to crumble, these beeping sounds, is made when the stone steps are broken, I know that something is wrong, my eyes glanced at the place I walked before, empty, the stone steps are gone, I don't care about anything 3721, 4728, my life is gone, what is the use of these? Quickly pull out your legs and run forward.
But, however, how can a man run faster than the wind? How could it be faster than the speed at which the stone steps shattered? Before I had run ten steps, I felt like I had stepped into the air and planted headlong into the dark and bottomless abyss below, and even though the manta beast virus had given me the ability to see at night, I couldn't see what was in the dark abyss below.
Falling silently, I don't even have the strength to shout, let alone adjust my body in mid-air, no matter whether I will fall to pieces, my liver and brain are smeared, I am relieved in my heart, I chose this dead end, which means that Xiao An and Hongmen Jia chose the way of life, they walked out of the stone cave and stopped Yun Xin's evil deeds, I am willing to die!
I don't know how long I fell, with a loud noise, I fell into the water, due to the effect of huge inertia, I don't know how much splash there was, at least sank about ten meters from the surface of the water, I opened my mouth, tasted the salty and bitter taste, I knew that this was the smell of seawater, after sinking to a certain distance, my body began to float up, the cold sea water soaked my clothes, making me feel cold and cold.
However, these are nothing, at least I didn't die after falling, but I picked up a small life, fortunately I can swim, otherwise even if I didn't fall to death, I drowned!
After I surfaced, I looked around, and I didn't seem to see the shore, and my heart sank, and if I couldn't find land, I would be weak after staying in the water for a long time, and I would eventually drown!
Thinking of this, a feeling of sadness arose, and before I felt choked by the seawater, I waved my hands and feet, and swam away into the distance with my feelings.
Just when I was weak and desperate, I suddenly saw something floating in the dim distance, although I couldn't see clearly, but I suddenly had a strong desire for life, and this desire prompted me to swim hysterically towards it, and the floating thing seemed to have found me, and suddenly accelerated and rushed towards me.
