Chapter 47: Is It a Rush?
After seeing the cave that suddenly appeared, Hao Qiang didn't want to go in. Below the black rumbling, who knows what will be boring?
However, the treasure signal that came from inside made him really not want to give up. One is that the distance is very close, and the other is that the area of this signal is also not small, and it is very likely that several treasures are placed together. Maybe once you find them, you'll be able to complete the quest in no time!
Well......
Hao Qiang pondered for a while, and finally made a decision.
All right!
Playing "Fighting the Landlord", I often hear people say: "Not bold, not productive!" ”
Anyway, Lao Tzu has nine yin and white bone claws on his body, so it's better to go down and try his luck!
After making up his mind, Hao Qiang held the crystal lighting rod he had just found in his hand and slowly climbed down. Although the hole is very deep, the entrance is sloping, and Hao Qiang slips away from the situation and eases to the end.
Once you get to the bottom of the cave, a winding tunnel emerges, stretching inward, and you don't know where it leads.
The tunnel was clearly freshly dug, and the ground was covered with messy and fresh footprints, and there was an indescribable fishy smell in the air.
The crystal lighting rod is really a good thing, Hao Qiang just moved in his heart, and it immediately realized the owner's intentions, became brighter, and illuminated the area around the cave clearly.
Hao Qiang took a closer look at the footprints, which included barefoot human footprints, shoe prints covered with patterns, some kind of rut-like wheel prints, and some strange marks that were simply unrecognizable.
Yo, it seems that there are still a lot of people digging holes, it should be a big project!
The shock gloves had been damaged, so Hao Qiang had no choice but to pull out the level 3 short knife and carefully touch it forward.
Because it is manually excavated, the tunnel is very irregular, like a rat hole, wide in some places, narrow in others. Narrow places even require bowing your head and bending over to get through. Hao Qiang couldn't help but be a little worried, will this thing collapse and smash himself underneath?
Fortunately, the tunnel was not long, and after going out for more than twenty meters, he heard the sound of water flowing, and at the same time, a fresh and humid air was coming towards him.
Gee...... Why is it coming out of the water again?
Hao Qiang became more and more puzzled, and walked forward for a while only to find that after the tunnel ended, there was actually a ditch more than two meters wide passing horizontally from under his feet. The bright light shone brightly, but I saw that the ditches were all made of very regular bricks and stones, and at first glance, it looked like the kind that only big cities have - sewers!
Hao Qiang smacked his lips again, and he also felt that it was novel enough. Imagine that you have just arrived in a strange world, where is it not good, why did you run into someone's sewer?
A deep sewer passed horizontally in front of him, blocking Hao Qiang's way at once. Luckily, two planks were erected over the ditch to form a small bridge.
Needless to say, it must have been left behind by the burrowers. I don't know what these people digging holes are doing?
Carefully stepping on the plank, Hao Qiang soon found that the opposite side of the ditch had completely changed its appearance. It was no longer a low cave, but an unusually wide and atmospheric corridor, lined with large, regular stones, as if they were high-end artificially constructed.
After a few steps further, I saw a heavy and huge iron fence gate appear in front of me, completely blocking the entire corridor.
However, when Hao Qiang came to him, a large hole had been broken in the iron fence door, and he could pass through it without difficulty.
When he lowered his head to drill the iron fence, Hao Qiang took a closer look and felt more puzzled.
He had also helped the shop that installed the burglar-proof windows before, and he knew a little about ironware. Judging from the fracture of the iron fence in front of you, it seems that it was not welded with electric welding or other tools. Because the fracture showed a rare twisted shape, and the fracture was very sharp.
Hao Qiang judged from this that the iron fence gate should have been wrenched with some kind of twisting tool, and judging from the fracture, the door should have just been opened.
Coupled with the signal that had just appeared in my head, and the fresh footprints, it was as if the burrowers were not far in front of me. Hao Qiang, it is very likely that he came in with those people in front and behind, and perhaps, he couldn't even pass a quarter of an hour before and after.
I don't know, who are these people digging holes?
And what secret do they have?
With this in mind, Hao Qiang has realized that he may well have been involved in a serious theft case. At the moment, turn down the lights, and be more alert when walking, and try not to make any noise.
After passing through the iron fence gate, the passage is impressively open, as if entering some underground hall, and in the center of the hall stands many tall stone pillars. Walking through it, I saw that the stone pillars were carved with many exquisite moire patterns, which were full of classical atmosphere.
Hao Qiang's strings have been tightened, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest. No one has been here for a long time, and a thin layer of moss has grown on the marble-paved floor. And if you look closely, the moss is full of fresh traces of people walking on it.
Hao Qiang leaned against the wall and continued to follow the traces. At the same time, he was getting closer and closer to the treasure signal in his head.
He didn't know what he could find in this situation.
Soon, he saw a slight glow on the roof in the distance. Under the bright light, a 45-degree stone staircase gradually emerges.
Then, Hao Qiang finally saw what he was looking for!
But there was a man lying on his back a little further down the steps. The person was crooked and motionless.
It turned out to be a person!
And, it's still a dead man!
Hao Qiang was very sure that it was a dead man. Because it was from him that the signal came, and if the person had not died, there would have been no signal.
Broken!
Hao Qiang's mind turned, and he quickly realized that he was likely to have a big deal!
Like the men in black in the martial arts world last time, as soon as the men in black died, the treasures on their bodies immediately sent a signal. Then, the person lying on the steps in front of him should have just died.
So...... Who killed him?
Obviously, it was the people who dug the hole in the ground who did it?
So...... Who are the people digging the holes?
I don't know!
So who is this dead man?
I don't know!
However, one thing Hao Qiang is still clear, that is, there must be something good in this dead man!
According to Hao Qiang's style of doing things, even if he knows that there is danger ahead, he will not let go of this treasure that is about to arrive, even if the treasure exists in a dead person.
So, Hao Qiang turned off the crystal rod and tiptoed towards the step cat.
As soon as I got closer, an alarm sounded in my head.
At the same time, Hao Qiang had already seen the person's appearance and dress clearly. Unexpectedly, this person was exactly the same as the soldier he had seen on the street earlier, and his body was covered with that silver-white fish scale-like thing.
Although the distance was already very close, Hao Qiang still couldn't tell whether the fish scales grew on this person, or whether they were draped on his body like clothes.
Something had broken open a bowl-sized hole in the man's chest, and there was still crimson blood gushing out, and the blood flowed down the stairs, gathering a puddle of blood on the lower edge of the steps.
Gee...... What a terrible death!
It was not the first time Hao Qiang had seen a dead person, but because of the different environment he was in, he only felt that it was more bloody in front of him.
Looking at this person's head again, his head was also covered with the kind of weird fish scales that made people get goosebumps, seeing this kind of appearance, Hao Qiang's head suddenly appeared in "Journey to the West", the catfish monster called Rushing Baby.
However, although the man's head was covered with fish scales, his face was still exposed. Seeing this person's appearance, Hao Qiang was suddenly stunned. Because he found that this man was actually an old man with pale temples and a wrinkled face!
