Seeing this situation, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh: The Red Dragon Gang acted so secretly and thoughtfully, no wonder its crimes had not been discovered before.

Yang Xin looked at Lu Xiaoxian with an inquiring gaze.

After so many twists and turns, it was impossible to retreat at this moment, and Lu Xiaoxian decided that he had to continue to investigate no matter what.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxian turned back to Lu Xiaoyi and said, "Xiaoyi, you stay with Brother Zhang Tang!" Let's go down and find out! ”

When Lu Xiaoyi heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Brother, how can I let you go down alone?" I'm going too! ”

Lu Xiaoxian patted Lu Xiaoyi's shoulder: "Why do I go down alone, with County Lieutenant Yang here, I'm fine, you can rest assured!" ”

"No, I'm going down with you!" Lu Xiaoyi is dead or alive.

"No one knows what's going on here, and if there are no reinforcements, I don't know if I can come back alive!" Lu Xiaoxian patiently explained, "Our reinforcements are only Big Brother Leng!" I asked you to stay, just to wait for Brother Leng! ”

"He can wait for Brother Leng alone!" Lu Xiaoyi pointed at Zhang Tang and begged Lu Xiaoxian, "Brother, just let me go with you!" ”

"It's nonsense!" Lu Xiaoxian was angry, "You also know the situation in Jingning County, Brother Leng won't trust anyone here when he comes, except for you, don't you understand?" I left you here, which is equivalent to putting my life in your hands, why are you such a mother-in-law? ”

Hearing Lu Xiaoxian say this, Lu Xiaoyi was speechless, and his face showed pain.

Lu Xiaoxian realized that his words were a little heavy, and said with a forced smile: "Xiaoyi, I know that you care about me, don't worry, I am blessed and have a great life, and I will be fine!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi said with a crying voice: "Brother, you must be careful, Xiaotong is still waiting for you!" ”

Hearing Lu Xiaoyi mention Jiang Xiaotong, the weakest part of Lu Xiaoxian's heart was touched, and Jiang Xiaotong's beautiful figure appeared in front of him.

This is not the time for children to grow up, Lu Xiaoxian was only in a trance for a moment, and then regained his composure.

"Be careful, too!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded towards Lu Xiaoyi.

A few people prepared a little outside the entrance, in addition to Lu Xiaoxian and Xu Zuo, Yang Xin and three other subordinates will also enter the cave together.

Yang Xin instructed his subordinates to find dry firewood, split it into neat strips, and then wrap it with rags to make a simple torch.

After making preparations, several people entered the secret passage.

Seeing their figures disappear into the hole, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but pray for Lu Xiaoxian in his heart.

Lu Xiaoxian thought that he would enter a narrow and cramped space, but it turned out to be unexpected, there was a hole in the secret passage.

The downward passage is very wide and gentle, and the passage is well ventilated, and it is unusually cool and dry, which is very different from what you imagined.

In addition to the tension caused by the endless darkness and unpredictability, people walk in it, and they actually feel that their pores are relaxed, and their whole body is comfortable.

"I didn't expect that there is such a unique place in the Wild Wolf Valley, it seems that we are worth the trip!" Lu Xiaoxian's voice echoed in the empty tunnel.

Yang Xin was not as comfortable as Lu Xiaoxian, he made a quiet gesture towards Lu Xiaoxian, and then pointed ahead.

The secret passage doesn't seem to be long, and it looks like it's coming to an end.

Unbeknownst to him, at the end of the secret passage, an even wider hole appeared.

When they entered the Great Cave, they felt that the darkness was boundless, completely immeasurable, as if they had entered another world. The darkness was like a huge mouth, as if it were about to swallow up these unexpected visitors.

With the faint light of the fire, Lu Xiaoxian carefully touched one side of the cave wall, on which there were very obvious traces of chisel shovels, and he said to Yang Xin: "The whole hole should be artificially excavated. ”

"Let's go inside and see if there's anything we find." Yang Xin turned around and said to everyone.

Hearing this, several people planned to continue to explore the depths.

Since entering the cave, Xu Zuo has not spoken, making people almost forget his existence.

At this time, Xu Zuo suddenly burst out with a sentence. "I'm afraid that if I go any further, I will reach the gates of hell."

When they heard this, their hearts ached, and they all fell silent.

Lu Xiaoxian asked suspiciously, "Xu Zuo, could it be that you escaped from here?" ”

Xu Zuo shook his head: "I escaped from another cave, that hole is very secret, and no one usually notices." ”

"I don't know where the hole leads, but it's a feeling I'm very familiar with, and it's been in this way that I've spent countless days and nights."

Xu Zuo's voice seemed to float from hell, with a strong sense of death: "I have a strong premonition that we should not be far from death!" ”

Because the hole was too large, the torch in his hand was extremely rudimentary, and it was almost useless, and only a little road ahead was seen, but it was just empty, as if he were ignoring. In it, people feel even more flustered, as if they have fallen into an endless void.

The endless darkness and helpless panic, not only Lu Xiaoxian, but others also somewhat understood what it was like for Xu Zuo to spend those days. But fortunately, there are still people walking together around them, and the faint light of the fire can barely support their hearts.

Seeing that several people were already in front, Lu Xiaoxian helped Xu Zuo to speed up his pace.

Together with Xu Zuo and Lu Xiaoxian, who were walking at the end, there were a total of six people in the cave at this time.

At the forefront was the oldest subordinate under Yang Xinzhi, everyone called him Lao He, and he was about forty years old.

Maybe it was because of the long-term experience of the world, and with the ghost-headed knife in his hand, Lao He didn't seem to care too much about the darkness, but just strode forward.

The light from the torch enveloped the whole person, making his back look strange.

"Lao He, slow down a little." Yang Xin was afraid that the speed would be too fast, and Xu Zuo, who had not yet recovered his body, would be pulled down by the team, so he stopped Lao He, who was walking in front in a hurry.

Hearing Yang Xin's voice, Lao He stopped and looked back at the people behind him.

At the moment when Lao He turned around, Yang Xin was surprised to see that under the weak light, a face emerged from the darkness, and in the fire that was stirred, that face quietly grinned.

He seemed to be laughing.

Immediately after that, the face disappeared again.

Yang Xin was suspicious that he was dazzled, and hurriedly asked the people around him for verification, but before he could speak, he had already got the answer from the surprised expressions of others.

It's a human face, indeed.

Something is hidden in the dark.

Yang Xin hurriedly wanted to tell Lao He to be careful, but before he could speak, he saw that the torch in Lao He's hand suddenly went out, and the front became pitch black.

Then I heard a muffled sound.

Something went wrong.

Yang Xin and the others held torches all the way and ran towards the place where Lao He was before.

Lao He had already fallen to the ground, Yang Xin reached out to help, but touched the blood in his hand.

Lao He died.

His trachea was cut open by a sharp object, and blood gushed out in large quantities.

For a while, everyone was a little confused.

"Everyone's together!" Yang Xin shouted loudly.

The incident happened too suddenly, and Lu Xiaoxian, who was left behind, had not yet figured out the situation, and when he heard Yang Xin's instructions, he helped Xu Zuo to quickly run along the place where the sound came from.

Yang Xin's other two subordinates were also stunned by this sudden accident, but fortunately, Yang Xin's calm instructions quickly gathered together, so as not to be taken advantage of by the other party again.

Several men leaned closely, the sound of heavy gasps irritating everyone, and they held their torches as far forward as possible, cautiously guarding against a possible sudden attack.

No one knows, who did the old man just now, whether it was a person or something else?

Lu Xiaoxian looked at his eyes carefully, and he could clearly feel the tremor of Xu Zuo's body.

There was no doubt that he was afraid.

In the face of such an unknown threat, no one does not feel trepidation.

At this time, the five people stared ahead separately like this, temporarily building a relatively stable defensive formation.

They waited with bated breath.

The shadow did not continue to attack, as if it had disappeared again.

The entire cave was terrifyingly quiet, all subtle sounds were infinitely amplified, and even the sound of a heartbeat turned into a rumbling roar at the moment, constantly hitting the sensitive eardrums.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a sound of wind running through the cave, and it seemed like something was tiptoeing around, planning a strange conspiracy.

Time passed slowly, and none of the five dared to move, and they began to gradually get used to the silence, and gradually discerned that it was the slight sound of footsteps coming from the darkness.

The sound came from somewhere, and it was transmitted in the oppressive air in a very small way, but because the cavern was too empty, the sound diffused in the vast space, and it was impossible to discern the direction clearly.

The more slight and small the voice, the deeper it stimulates the will of the person, and the other party does not seem to be in a hurry to appear, but slowly wanders around several people. Only those with ill intentions would deliberately create such tension.

The previous blow must have boosted his confidence.

He's brewing another raid.

"Lu Gongzi, do you think they are humans or ghosts?" Yang Xin asked Lu Xiaoxian in an almost whispered voice.

"Of course it's people!" Yang Xin also replied in a slight voice.

"So how many do you think there are?"

Yang Xin affirmed: "It can't be too much, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago, and it wouldn't be spent here with us." ”

The other party's hesitant behavior seems to confirm Lu Xiaoxian's new judgment, or maybe he likes to play cat and mouse games.

"County Lieutenant Yang, now we are in the light, and the other party is in the dark." Lu Xiaoxian looked at the weak torch and said very worriedly, "The other party is familiar with the terrain and seems to be very adapted to the dark, if the torch runs out in a while, we will be even more troublesome." ”

Although Lu Xiaoxian's eyesight is outstanding, after all, the terrain is not familiar, so he can't determine where the other party is hiding.

The coarse strips of cloth wrapped around the torches were almost burned out, and if they lost this only light, the five of them would be completely blind and at the mercy of each other.
