Chapter 826: Return
The six of them dug with their bare hands for a long time before they dug a hole under the stele. In order to prevent the stele from continuing to sink, Ye Cheng did not dare to dig the hole too wide, and in order to reduce the time, the hole was not large, and it could only pass through one person.
Gotetsu quickly crawled out of the mouth.
Ye Cheng took a closer look at Wu Tie's value-added armor and found that there were no dents or damage on it. It's as if when the stele was falling, Gotetsu was just under the hollow of the stele.
But Ye Cheng still asked with the usual concern: "Lord Wu Pavilion, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, I just got into the stele when it fell"
Wu Tie said casually, and this also confirmed that Ye Cheng's idea just now was right.
After confirming that Wu Tie was fine, Ye Cheng was interested in the passage inside the stone tablet, so he wanted to go in and have a look. Just as he squatted down and was about to stick his head into his mouth, at this time, Zhuzi Ding bowed his head and asked in a mocking tone, "Little master, what are you doing here?" ”
But Ye Cheng replied very seriously: "I'll go in and take a look, you guys are waiting here"
After speaking, Ye Cheng drilled into the mouth like a snake. When you enter the inside of the stele, there is indeed a straight passage inside. The passage is larger than that of an adult man, and Wu Tie may feel a little narrow when he wears the value-added armor, but Ye Cheng's thin body is very loose.
Ye Cheng climbed up the rope ladder while using the light of his mobile phone to check the situation on the stone tablet. He came in this time mainly to see if there was any information about the elixir, but all he saw when he climbed to the top was the rough inner wall of the rock, and there was no information at all.
There is only a recessed notch at the top, which should be the place where the elixir is stored.
Ye Cheng took a picture of his mobile phone into the gap, but there was still no clue, so he had to give up in the end.
Returning to the cave without any gain, as soon as he got up from the mouth, Zhu Zi must have come over and asked urgently, "Has the little master found anything?" ”
Ye Cheng just shook his head, and then lowered his head and patted the dust standing on his clothes.
Wu Tie, who was not far away, had been looking at Ye Cheng, and Ye Cheng's actions made him suspicious. Then he walked towards Ye Cheng, and in front of Ye Cheng, Wu Tie condensed: "What are you investigating?" ”
This question was very cold, which made Ye Cheng feel that something was wrong.
Ye Cheng slowly stopped the work in his hand and looked up at Wu Tie, his face was serious. For the time being, I can't tell Wu Tie about what I want to investigate, Wu Tie wants to get the elixir so much, and he will definitely not give up taking it. So he can only rely on Bai Yingping's side to drag it out, and he will find out everything as soon as possible.
And judging from Wu Tie's current attitude, Wu Tie should have noticed something, and if he replied with a hippie smile, it would inevitably make Wu Tie even more suspicious.
So Ye Cheng's face didn't change, and he said seriously: "I care about the murals I saw just now, so I want to find more clues to figure it out." And there is a passage in this stone tablet, and I thought there was some important information in it, so I went in and looked at it, but I didn't find anything."
"I see"
Wu Tie raised the box in his hand, and continued, "The elixir is all in hand, let's get out of here quickly."
"Hmm"
Ye Cheng didn't know if Wu Tie had any suspicions, but now there was nothing in this cave that was worth staying and checking, so it was better to leave first.
Then they began to return the way they came, and the successive shaking of the mountain had damaged the passage so much that it had become larger in some places and narrower in others, so that it took them twice as long to get back to the entrance.
Because only one person could stand at the entrance, Ye Cheng let Zhu Zixing walk in front first, and he was behind Zhu Zixing.
Squatting in the passage below the entrance, Ye Cheng listened to the movement above. Now the entrance was blocked by wooden planks, and there were still a large number of living dead people rushing down above the wooden planks just now, but now there was no sound from above.
Zhu Zixing also felt a quietness, he turned his head to look at Ye Cheng in the passage, and said, "Little master, otherwise I'll go up and have a look."
"Well, be careful"
There was really only this way now, so Ye Cheng nodded in agreement.
After getting the permission, Zhu Zixing climbed up the rope ladder. With a height of less than three meters, Zhu Ziding quickly climbed to the top of the plank. He carefully lifted the plank with his left hand, leaving a gap between the plank and the snow, and he looked through the gap.
What shocked Zhu Zixing was that it was already night outside, and it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Zhu Zixing, who was not at ease about this, put down the plank, then looked down and whispered, "Little master, it's dark outside."
Under the cave, there is a flashlight function of Ye Cheng with his mobile phone on, so the sight is very bright.
In this bright light, Ye Cheng's solemn face could be seen. Ye Cheng could see the time on his phone, so he knew what time it was. But what made his face solemn was that he didn't understand where those living dead had gone? If the living dead were still guarding around the entrance of the cave, there should have been a commotion when Zhu Zixing opened the planks.
But now there is no movement at all, where has the living dead gone?
In order to find out the situation, Ye Cheng stood out of the passage and raised his right hand and said, "Zixing, you take your mobile phone and look outside with the light to see if those living dead are still outside?" ”
"Yes"
After Zhu Zixing took the phone, this time he lifted the plank with his head, and then held the phone in his left hand and stretched it into the slit. The light from the phone illuminated the distance of a meter or two around him, which allowed him to see that there were no signs of the living dead outside.
But in order to see more clearly, Zhu Zixing raised the wooden planks high, and the thin seams became larger and larger. There was nothing abnormal outside, so Zhu Zixing boldly turned over the plank, and then he climbed out of the hole and held his mobile phone high, and after confirming that there was no sign of the living dead around, he hurriedly shouted from under the hole: "Little master, it's okay, come up quickly"
Hearing the shouting, Ye Cheng hurriedly climbed up the rope ladder, and after coming out of the hole, he suddenly felt a chill sweeping over.
The weather became unusually cold at night, and wearing a thick cotton coat during the day was already able to keep out the cold, but now I could feel the biting cold. And when the snowflakes mixed with the cold wind hit the face, it felt like being cut by a blade, and it was very painful.
It's so cold!
Ye Cheng clasped his hands to his chest, his body kept beating, trying to keep the movement warm in his body.
Everyone went out of the cave one after another, and they all felt the bitter cold of the night. Zhu Ziding stood beside Ye Cheng tremblingly, and said, "Little master, it's too cold this time, let's go quickly."
The princes were so cold that they were already trembling when they spoke.
And Ye Cheng didn't want to stay here any longer, he turned around and took the mobile phone in Zhu Zixing's hand and turned on the compass function. When he set out to come to the stele, he deliberately looked at the direction, so he remembered that the location of the tavern was in the southwest direction at that time.
Now just follow the compass and walk southwest, and you can go back to the tavern and Xiao Ya round.
