Chapter 178: A Peculiar and Beautiful Entrance (Part 2)
What appeared in front of Lu Ming's eyes was a strange terraced field, surrounded on all sides, like a huge ring, layer upon layer, falling in a stepped shape, looking down, getting smaller and narrower, getting narrower and narrower, when it reached the extreme of the field of vision, it seemed to be a black hole the size of a bowl.
The terraces are all dark red rocks and sand, not a single inch of grass grows, bare, from time to time there will be weathered sand that has long been blown by the wind and poured down layer by layer, as if endless dark red waves are pouring into the black hole the size of the bowl, and the rustling sound is soft, full of rhythm.
It was evening, and the dark red sand and rocks were shining from above, as if they were flowing gently with the sliding gravel.
Aside from the blood-soaked rocks and the dark red color of the sand, this is a spectacular sight! It's beautiful and strange, and if you ask a professional photographer to come and take some pictures, it's absolutely beautiful.
"This, this is the entrance to the ghost cave tomb?" Zuo Musen looked at the strange scene in front of him blankly, and after a long time, he looked at Fei San in confusion: "You can't fucking be in the wrong place, right?" Don't they all say that the ghost cave tomb is a place for lonely souls and wild ghosts, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a fucking one! ”
Fei San was also stunned for a long time, but he came over according to the line, and nodded very affirmatively: "It won't be wrong here." Look here, there are still traces left by people climbing down, and it is definitely the group that went in first last night. ”
Fei San stretched out his hand and pointed to a place not far away where the slope was slightly gentle, where there were indeed footprints of sand being trampled on.
"Damn. These turtle grandchildren are really ahead of us! Zuo Musen looked at the bowl-sized black hole, and scolded: "Then what are we waiting for, let's go in quickly, if you don't hurry up, you won't even have to drink the soup!" ”
Fei San did not object, although the sun was now in the west, and it was already evening. But looking at the situation in front of the ghost cave in front of you, it will definitely be darker than the night, and it makes no difference whether you enter it at night or during the day.
Under the greeting of Hizo. Everyone strapped their backpacks a little tighter. With a flashlight and a gun in his hand, he began to climb down cautiously.
The height of this huge terrace is really scary, and it is only the size of a bowl at its deepest point, but it actually has a radius of more than ten zhang.
Lu Ming and his party climbed down cautiously. Makes the grit keep falling. Rustle of falling leaves, snow and rain. Listening to it, it's like a drizzle.
Huang Ling'er tried her best to walk beside Lu Ming to prevent him from falling down due to pain in his wounds. The black hole was too scary to look at. I don't know what's weird in it, but I still have to be careful.
The annular terraces looked beautiful, and when they really started to climb down, they realized how big and deep it was, and Lu Ming and his party of six were like a few small ants crawling on the steep red wave, moving slowly, until the sun was in the west until the moonlight was rising, and they finally stopped next to the huge hole.
The six flashlights were turned on, and the pillars of light flashed alternately, but they could not reach the bottom below. The cold wind blew up from inside, carrying a thick dampness, as if it could stick to people's faces and necks, making people involuntarily rush to fear.
There was a roar downward, and it took a long time for the echo of the whining to come back, listening to the infiltration. I really don't know what it will look like if I accidentally fall.
Fortunately, Zuo Musen is specialized in this line of work, has rich experience, and has complete rope grippers and other tools. After a little discussion, the most daring Zuo Musen explored the way in front, went down first, and if there was no accident, he beckoned them in.
The long rope was fastened to a solid rock, and the other end was tied to Zuo Musen's body, pulled by the four eyes and the fat three, and slowly lowered down. Although Zuo Musen was very arrogant, he didn't dare to be careless at the critical moment, inserted the firearm into his waist, held the rope in one hand to stabilize his body, and held a flashlight in the other, carefully paying attention to all movements.
The rope slowly extended down, and Zuo Musen's figure finally gradually disappeared from the field of vision of several people, but it didn't seem to have reached the end yet, and the rope continued to go down.
Half an hour later, a gunshot rang out from below. 'Bang! The shrill sound with a dull hum, as if coming out of a large jar, buzzing and restless, made Lu Ming and the others slightly startled in their hearts.
I can't see anything below, and I really don't know what Zuo Musen has touched.
Fat San and Four Eyes were worried, and hurriedly shouted, and the voice came in, but there was no sound at all!
A bad premonition instantly enveloped the hearts of several people.
"What should I do?"
Four Eyes had the best relationship with Zuo Musen, and at this time, he shouted a few times without any response, as if the piercing gunshot just now was announcing the end of something. couldn't help but look at Fei San with an inquiring gaze, and there was a look of anxiety in his eyes.
"I'll go down." The woman who had few words spoke, her name was Zou Qiu, she rarely spoke, it was difficult for people to notice her, but at this time she volunteered, and it seemed that she was a very bold woman.
Fei San shook his head, stretched out his hand to stop, and said, "Wait, the mallet has always been cautious when it comes to really doing things, and there shouldn't be any problems." ”
Sure enough, after a while, the rope suddenly pulled violently a few times, in a rhythm of threes and threes.
Fei San's face was overjoyed, and he said, "It's okay!" The mallet had reached the bottom, beckoning us to go down, perhaps the hole was too deep for the sound to come up. ”
The four eyes relaxed, and the moment began to go down. Then there are Huang Ling'er and Lu Ming, as soon as Lu Ming pulls the rope hard, the wound will be pulled, which is really difficult. All the way down, the flashlight flickered, and I saw that the cave walls were all red rocks and suddenly, like blood and fire, giving people a very strange visual impact.
The entrance of the cave is not directly downward, after descending more than 30 meters, it suddenly bends a bend and becomes inclined downward, with the help of the pull of the rope, you can step down and walk down.
The slope ramp is very long, no wonder Zuo Musen's voice cannot be heard from above.
A moment later, three flashlights shone on, and it was Zuo Musen Siyan and Huang Ling'er, who went down first. As soon as she saw Lu Ming, Huang Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Yongming, are you okay?" ”
Lu Ming untied the rope and pulled it a few times in twos and threes according to the previous signal, signaling that Fei San and Zou Qiu could come down. Lu Ming let out a long breath of turbidity, covered his right chest and said, "It's just a little painful, don't worry, the wound hasn't cracked." What's going on with the gunshots? Are the Zuomusen brothers okay? ”
Zuo Musen shone the bright flashlight at his feet, and a strange furry animal about half a meter long was lying at his feet, blood still flowing, hit by a bullet, and already dead. The hair all over the body is black, the head is very sharp and long, the teeth are sharp and cold, and it has a long tail, which looks like a magnified ground pluck.
Zuo Musen scolded and said: "It's this thing, damn it, hiding in the shadows and suddenly pounced on me, startling me, and I didn't think about it, so I shot it." Fuck, how did this dead rat grow so big! It's weird and scary! ”
Indeed, this mouse is too tall and fat, and I really don't know what it grew up eating. If I show it to those biologists, I'm afraid I'll study it carefully.
Fortunately, there is no danger, Zuo Musen has encountered a lot of such things, and they laughed it off. After a while, several people gathered again, and six flashlights overlapped each other, shining in the dark depths, and began to walk cautiously inside.
The ground is dry, this dark red sand does not seem to absorb water, it has been very dry here for many years, the soil is soft, stepping on it, the footsteps creak, stirring back and forth in the dark, listening to the ears, as if there are people walking slowly in all directions, especially behind you, always feel that someone is following, it is very scary.
"There are footprints on the ground, be careful." Hizo reminded Zuo Mu Sen Road, who was walking in the front. Zuo Musen nodded, because every time he spoke, there would be a loud echo, and several people tried not to talk loudly. One by one, there was silence, only the rustle of footsteps, which was extremely monotonous.
After a while, Zuo Musen suddenly stopped and said loudly: "There are two roads, where to go?" ”
Several people hurriedly stepped forward, and the flashlight shone out, and sure enough, they saw two deep and indescribable empty passages in front of them, still dark red soil and rocks. It is almost identical, and there is no difference between them, and there are no traces of artificial excavation on the cave walls, as if they were naturally formed.
Fei San looked at the shallow footprints on the ground, but unfortunately there were traces of people walking through the two passages, and it seemed that the group of people who came in first were divided into two teams here.
There were already few people in their group, and it was obviously unwise to go separately at this time. Anyway, it's all the same, and I don't know what I can encounter, so Fei San made a decision, and shone the flashlight to the left passage and said, "Here, be careful." ”
"Damn, there are a lot of four-person bones!" After walking for more than half an hour, Zuo Musen suddenly scolded in a low voice: "It's a pity that they are all poor ghosts, and there is nothing left!" The light shone through, and sure enough, there were a lot of white bones piled up on both sides of the passage, which had been too long ago and had become terrifyingly white. Some of the skulls rolled to the side, revealing a few Hessesen holes, and tiny insects crawled around in them, but unfortunately there was no carrion to be found.
The dry bones are clean and clean, and there is nothing of value, no wonder Zuo Musen scolds.
"Don't be wordy, if it was so easy to find something valuable, we would have made a fortune a long time ago." Zou Qiu frowned and squeezed a sentence.
Zuo Musen laughed dryly twice, and continued to lead the way.
Lu Ming looked at the insects crawling in the hole in the skull, and he always had a very bad feeling, because he found that those tiny insects were very similar to the insect swarm they had seen in that ancient forest before
