Chapter 814: Cliff Crisis
There were no fingers in the cave, but fortunately, everyone was well prepared.
The first two mercenaries turned on their flashlights, glanced at each other, and then burrowed into the hole.
At first, you can still hear some "rustling" sounds, but later, you can't hear anything.
It took nearly ten minutes for the two mercenaries to emerge from the cave.
One of the mercenaries came directly to Zuoqiu and said, "I've already explored the way, it's safe inside." ”
"In that case, order everyone to pack their gear and enter the cave." Zuoqiu whispered.
Just after the mercenary left, Zuoqiu turned to look at Lei Kun, "Next, you will follow me to protect me." ”
"Don't worry about this, since I have promised you, I will naturally not break my promise." Lei Kun paused for a moment and said, "After all, you still have hostages. ”
Zuoqiu didn't seem to hear Lei Kun's taunt, just nodded, and approached the cave.
Lei Kun glanced at Augustine, pretending to be puzzled and said, "He's already gone, why don't you follow." ”
Augustine ignored Lei Kun and went straight after him.
"I really don't know how this guy was trained, he didn't say a word, if it wasn't for the fact that I happened to meet you and talk to Zuoqiu, I really thought you were a mute!" Lei Kun muttered this sentence to himself, and then followed.
There were more than a dozen mercenaries in front of him who entered the cave in advance to explore the way, and if there was danger, they would naturally sound the alarm, so Lei Kun was not worried that there would be danger around him, and now he only needed to stare at two people.
One of them is the left mound, and as for the other, it is, of course, Augustine.
In fact, Zuoqiu and Augustine were also staring at Lei Kun.
In this way, the three of them entered the cave with their own ghosts.
Lei Kun looked at the traces left on the stone wall, the traces on it were new and old, and it didn't look like they were excavated at the same time.
This passage of dozens of meters, presumably it took a lot of manpower for Zuoqiu to send people to excavate!
Not only does he have to act under the nose of Huaxia Kingdom and not be discovered, I have to say that this Zuoqiu really has some means.
The passage seemed to be more than thirty meters long, and the crowd soon came to an end.
Lei Kun was in the middle at this time, and when he saw the mercenary in front of him moving again, he hurriedly stopped.
There seemed to be other passages ahead, and the mercenaries went down one by one.
When Lei Kun came to the edge of this passage, he found that the hole with a diameter of about one meter was actually on a stone wall more than two meters above the ground.
As soon as he jumped down, he heard an echo, which surprised him slightly.
To have such a loud echo, it must be extremely empty.
He pulled out a flashlight and swept around.
The space here is really large, and it's strange to have an echo.
And it seems that there is no other life here except for them.
At this moment, where they are standing, there are passages in front and behind.
In this way, Lei Kun understood that this must be Zuoqiu's people who had dug a passage from the side.
It happened that Zuoqiu came over, and he looked at Lei Kun as if he was observing the surrounding environment, so he said: "The original hole is not here, in order to avoid trouble, I can only order someone to dig another passage from here, fortunately, it is very successful, in this way, it can help us save a lot of time." ”
Maybe there is only this one possibility, after all, Zuoqiu has not participated in the events of more than 20 years ago, and naturally he doesn't know whether the ring is real or fake, if it is fake, then he can only stand at the door of the cave?
After a few minutes of repairing, everyone finally set off again.
From time to time, there was a cold wind from the dark cave, like the wind from hell blowing up from below.
Lei Kun walked down the passage for a full twenty minutes, and he didn't see the end at all.
And the road they took was not the right one, so it was naturally very bumpy.
Coupled with the fact that everyone is full of fear of the dark, the speed of action is naturally not too fast.
According to Lei Kun's calculations, now they have only walked about 100 meters.
"There's no real hell down there, is it?" Lei Kun muttered to himself.
Although he also felt that it was impossible, such thoughts could not be stopped.
The mountain road became narrower and narrower, and in the end, you could touch the cold stone walls on the left and right sides with your hands stretched out.
In the end, the width of the passage was only about one meter.
Now it was barely enough for them to pass one after another, but this strange space made everyone feel a depressing atmosphere.
I don't know how long it took, Lei Kun saw that the person in front of him suddenly stopped, and he could still hear the whistling wind.
Lei Kun tightened his clothes and asked Augustine in front, "What's going on up ahead?" ”
If it was in normal times, Lei Kun would definitely not bother to talk to Augustine.
If he was allowed to talk to such a dull person, it would be his life.
But in this passage, Augustine stood in front of Lei Kun, who was tall and directly blocked Lei Kun's view.
Augustine made a gap for Lei Kun to look closely.
Lei Kun didn't want to be so careful, so he looked forward through the gap.
It's okay not to look at it, but this one looks like a stormy wave in my heart.
There was a cliff in front of it, and there was a passage on the opposite side, but the passage in front of it was broken ten meters in the middle.
This distance is a distance that even athletes in the world can't jump over, and there is a bottomless abyss below the cliff, and if you are not careful, you are likely to be crushed.
When Lei Kun saw it, he pretended to be surprised, shook his head and said, "Why is there no road ahead, it seems that we are going to return the same way." ”
Then he glanced at Zuoqiu behind him.
But Zuoqiu didn't seem to see Lei Kun at all, and scolded the mercenaries in front of him: "Quickly find a way to pass, don't delay time." ”
After a few seconds of silence, the mercenary in front shouted: "Lord Zuoqiu, there is a cliff in front of you, and you can only use ropes to pass through, and you still need to be very prepared." ”
"That's not a hurry."
"Yes, yes."
The mercenary saw that Zuoqiu had already shown a trace of anger, and immediately took out the prepared climbing rope.
The stone pillar on the opposite side happens to have a stone pillar that can temporarily tie ropes.
However, the appearance of this stone pillar is extremely strange, it is not out of place with its surroundings, and it does not seem to have any use, as if it was specially prepared for them.
Ten minutes later, the rope was finally ready to use.
The distance of ten meters is not short, but if there is a bottomless space in between, no matter who is afraid.
When it comes to sending him to death, Lei Kun naturally won't rush to the front.
The mercenaries in front are in a stalemate, and it seems that none of them wants to take risks.
If it weren't for Zuoqiu's roar, I'm afraid it would be a while before these people decide.
Finally one of the mercenaries slowly put on the rope, and he pulled hard, only going up when he was sure that there was no danger.
The mercenary had just walked halfway, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly shouted, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he fell into the endless darkness under the cliff.
All that was left was a scream that lasted for a few seconds.
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know why the mercenary suddenly let go.
One of the mercenaries suddenly shouted, "I'm coming." ”
Lei Kun looked at this man with a fearless look, and his heart had already begun to silently recite the transcendent scriptures for this mercenary.
If you act rashly without knowing what is going on, there is a chance that this person will not survive.
This time the man was very careful, staring intently at the rope for fear of some accident.
He walked a little farther, still unharmed, and his heart was relieved.
But before this breath could be fully exhaled, it turned into a scream, but the miserable voice was much quieter than the last time.
Lei Kun "tsk" and "tsk" twice, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "It's really dead, it seems that this place is very weird, and then we have to be careful." ”
