Chapter 09: The Gates of Hell
"Sister Qi, where is Brother Ying?" Chu Die hurriedly rushed into the cave, looked at Huang Qi and asked.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay? What about Brother Eagle? The Evil Claw team members who followed Chu Butterfly in fan-shaped vigilance surrounded Huang Qi in the middle and looked around.
hush
Huang Qi made a small gesture and pointed in the direction of the torture eagle.
After everyone moved their eyes to the location of the Torture Eagle, they saw that the Torture Eagle's right foot had stepped into the crack in the wall. Chu Die didn't hesitate and strode towards the location where the torture eagle was, and at this time, Xiao Lilong, the mad tiger and others also rushed over one after another, and quickly flashed the crack in the wall where the torture eagle was on guard.
"Brother Eagle, what's going on?" Xiao Lilong spoke first.
"Did you hear that roar?" Xingying looked back at the brothers who had rushed over.
"Yes." Everyone nodded one after another.
"Li Long, Qiu Mu, Wolf Fang, Tianwu, the five of us went in to investigate. Jia Luo, Mad Tiger, Dong Xu, No. 1, Mingling, you stay. If we don't come out before dawn, you leave a team of liaison personnel and continue to the Golden City as planned. If there is any accident in the middle, it will be deployed under the unified leadership of Jialuo. Xingying commanded and looked at Huang Qi and nodded, and at the same time looked at Chu Die, Mad Tiger and the others, signaling them to protect Huang Qi.
Huang Qi looked at Xingying and nodded with some worry in his eyes. The Mad Tiger One, on the other hand, made a gesture to the Torture Eagle to signal him to rest assured.
"Brother Eagle be careful." The troops left behind said to the Torture Eagle in unison. Shangguan Ze, on the other hand, walked over and handed out five dark green bottles to the five people, and informed them of the properties of the drugs in the bottles.
Xingying took the bottle and put it in his pocket and nodded, then made a forward gesture to Xiao Lilong and the others, turned around and poked into the crack in the wall. “”
Watching the five Xingying disappear between the cracks in the wall, Mad Tiger and Han Jialuo walked out of the cave one after another, discussing something as they walked.
"Sister Qi, just now, what was that? It's not the right time, hehe. After No. 1 and the others walked out of the cave, Chu Die walked to Huang Qi's side, stretched out his hand and shook Huang Qi's arms for a while.
"Go" Huang Qi glanced at Chu Die and sat next to the fire.
Then the two women chatted as if they were sympathetic to each other, and the specific content of the conversation was of course centered on Xingying.
Deep in the cracks in the wall, the five of them groped their way in the direction from which the strange roar came. During this period, I turned left and right, climbed up and down, and in the blink of an eye, three hours had passed, but I had never seen any exit, as if this crack in the wall was leading to the depths of the earth's core.
And for a period of time after the five of them got into the crack in the wall, the strange roar became louder and clearer. The five of them watched each other and knew very well that with every step they took now, the closer they got to the roar. There was an inexplicable sense of urgency in my heart.
"Brother Eagle, what animal did you say made this roar?" Sky Dance, who took the initiative to walk in front of the Torture Eagle, slowly groped her way forward and asked.
"Listening to this roar is not like an animal as we know it, and it may be an extremely large animal. Otherwise, even in a cave, there would be no such a loud roar. Xingying groped his palms between the cave walls, signaling everyone to be vigilant.
"Yes. I'm curious, too. Xiao Lilong, who was walking behind Xingying, said in a solemn tone.
hush
Just as the three of the Torture Eagle in front of them were discussing this roar with each other, Qiu Mu and Wolf Fang, who were walking at the end, stopped at the same time and 'shhh And signaled that there was a slightly larger hole on the right.
Xingying's slightly raised right foot slowly fell to the ground, and he turned to look at Qiu Mu, the direction pointed by the wolf's fangs. Tianwu, Xiao Lilong also made the same move one after another, and turned to look at the hole.
I saw that outside the slightly recessed hole, there was a stone monument tilting to the right. The entrance to the cave was filled with a thick mist. Qiu Mu quickly approached to take a look, and then beckoned a few people to come over.
After the Xingying and a few people walked over, they couldn't help but say 'En' at the same time. Gently rubbing off the rock cut on the stele, I saw that the stele seemed to be engraved with some hieroglyphs. But the specific content of several people is a black line. Obviously, the hieroglyphs engraved on the stele were not within their knowledge.
"Wait." Just as a few people were carefully figuring out the content of the text, Qiu Mu's pupils dilated, and he seemed to have discovered something. "No, it's weird. Is this impossible? ”
Listening to the doubts and surprises coming out of Qiu Mu's mouth, Xingying and the others all showed incredible expressions at the same time.
"Qiu Mu, what did you find?"
"yes, tell me what's going on, do you know these words?"
Xiao Lilong, the torture eagle, looked at Qiu Mu at the same time, and then looked at the stone tablet, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Yes. I haven't figured out exactly what the text on the stele means, but I'm sure it's an oracle bone inscription. ”
"Oracle, how is this possible? No kidding, Qiu Mu, we're in South America. The wolf looked at Qiu Mu with a smile, obviously he didn't believe that the oracle bone inscription that existed in the Xia and Shang periods would appear in the depths of this deep and dark cave in South America, thousands of kilometers away.
"I'm sure this is an oracle bone inscription, and the form of writing is the same as that of the Xia and Shang periods in our country, so there will be absolutely nothing wrong with it."
Qiu Mu's tone affirmatively explained to several people about the writing form of the oracle bone inscription, and the different meanings represented by the direction of the strokes. But several people still found it incredible and unbelievable. There was a burst of amazement one after another. But for Qiu Mu, this is an ironclad fact, let you not believe it, don't admit it, but the facts in front of you are the best and most powerful evidence.
Just as the Japanese have always been reluctant to admit that their ancestors are Chinese, no amount of sophistry can argue that their so-called Emperor Jimmu is actually just a farmer who migrated from Chinese mainland. No matter how unwilling you are to accept it, you can't change the fact that the Japanese are the grandsons of the Chinese.
Facts speak louder than change. What's more, the Japanese are still bears, isn't this a living joke?
"Well, Qiu Mu, tell me what you think." Xingying thought for a moment, then gestured to Qiu Mu.
"Don't look at my ghostly aura, in fact, I still know something about some things. Now let's not talk about the meaning of the oracle bone inscription on this stone tablet? Why are you standing here in this cave? ”
"The first thing we need to figure out is why the oracle bone inscription on this stele is thousands of kilometers away in South America?" Qiu Mu's fingers caressed the stone tablet, his eyes fixed on the oracle bone who was walking sideways, and said suspiciously.
"Yes. Could it be that thousands of years ago, ancient humans from the East appeared here??? ”
"Yes, if this is the case, then it is no longer Columbus who discovered the American continent, but the Chinese people from the East. And it's a full 2,000 years ahead. Sky Dance Wolf Fang exclaimed one after another.
"Hey, you see, this word doesn't look like the word 'prison' that is now used in our country." Qiu Mu pointed to a slightly larger oracle bone inscription at the bottom of the stone monument and exclaimed.
"Not to mention, it's kind of like that."
"What about the remaining three big characters, can you recognize them?"
"I'm taking a closer look."
"Yes. This should be a door word. Qiu Mu gently scraped the debris from the stele, looked at the oracle bone inscription at the bottom that resembled the word 'door', and then looked at the oracle bone inscription above.
"Can the other two recognize it?" Xingying asked, half-crouching next to Qiu Mu.
"What about the rest?" Xiao Lilong then asked.
"No, you can't. It's so sloppy that I really can't see which script is used in our country now. Qiu Mu said as he swept the entire stele and shrugged his shoulders.
"Hell, door. Prison Door. What hell? What door? Sky Dance muttered to herself. Then he stood up, "Is it the gates of hell?" ”
"Gate of Hell" Wolf Tooth Qiu Mu heard Tianwu say these four words, and subconsciously sat on the ground, and a muffled snort came from his mouth, staring at each other, unable to speak.
"It doesn't matter what hell it is. Even if it's the gates of hell, we're going to break through. ”
Xingying said and stood up, his eyes flashing with a terrifying essence, and his claws tightened, "Let's go, let's go to this hole." As he spoke, he flashed through the hole filled with thick mist.
As he burrowed into the mist, the Eagle visibly felt a strange sensation. It was as if the thick fog just now was like a film, a strange feeling that completely separated the outside of the cave from the inside of the cave.
The rest of the people also shook their bodies one after another, and followed the torture eagle into the hole. And when they passed through that thick layer of fog, several people had the same strange feeling as the torture eagle.
As soon as the right foot of the torture eagle stepped into the cave, he immediately felt a strong breath coming. There was a smell of death in that strong breath. Xingying couldn't help but raise his vigilance for 120,000 points, and motioned to the few people behind him to pay attention to the changes around him.
When several people felt this strange aura at the same time, the weapons in their hands cracked violently under the clenching of their fists. In this way, several people reached into the depths of the cave with a high degree of vigilance.
Along the way, the walls of the cave changed from small to large, and then from large to small. Sometimes vertically downward, sometimes rugged upward, the winding path seems to stretch endlessly.
During this time, they marked the route with black charcoal and chemicals that they had prepared. Just in case you can't find the exit when you come back, you go around the cave in circles.
After nearly five hours of exploring, several people came to a large underground space.
The five of them explored around the cave wall, and after nearly half an hour of exploration, Sky Dance pulled out a fluorescent bomb and threw it at the center of the space.
Fluorescent grenades exploded, illuminating the entire underground space. As far as the eye can see, this huge underground space is the size of three football fields, and above the head is pitch black and the roof of the cave is dark.
Looking at this masterpiece of nature in front of them, several people couldn't help but exclaim: "This is simply a unique creation, conquering heaven and earth." (http://.)。 ”
While sighing, Xingying slowly walked towards the corner of the cave wall that had not yet been explored: "It seems that this time, we have come to the right place. ”
"Yes. Quick, keep up. Xiao Lilong followed closely behind Xingying, signaling Qiu Mu, Wolf Fang, and Tianwu, who were looking around behind him, to follow.
"Quick, there's a vertical downward wall here." Xingying half-squatted on the edge of a sunken cliff and beckoned to Xiao Lilong and the others.
"Well, there's something wrong with this broken wall, Brother Eagle, look." Qiu Mu quickly flashed to Xingying's side, touched a groove on the side of the broken wall and said: "This broken wall looks like it was artificially created, although it has been corroded and cannot be checked, but judging from this nick, it is indeed artificially created." He stood up and looked around.
"Yes."
Xingying carefully looked at the broken wall that Qiu Mu said, nodded after a little thought, and ordered: "Let's go around to see if there are any exits in other places, if not, we will go down to the bottom of the broken wall from here." ”
After a slight investigation, when it was determined that the place where the broken wall was the only place to continue to explore, several people took out the rope they carried and fastened it to a huge stalactite, tying a dead knot.
He then wrapped the other end of the rope around his waist, walked to the edge of the broken wall, and threw a fluorescent bomb under the broken wall. After determining the approximate distance under the broken wall, he immediately adjusted the position of the rope, and slowly slid down the broken wall with his back half on his back.
"Ahh Wait, what is this? Just after a few people slid down the broken wall for more than 20 meters, Tianwu exclaimed and motioned for a few people to stop
