With his eyes bulging, Liu Shibai pointed to the Barrett that Soranta was carrying behind him, twisted the corners of his mouth and said:

"Have you forgotten that you still have a Barrett weighing dozens of pounds on your back? You ran for nearly a kilometer with a gun on your back in the dark for a few minutes? Are you kidding labor and management?"

Staring at Liu Eighteen's disbelieving eyes, Soranta finally smiled bitterly and said:

"I didn't lie to you, I was scared, I was so scared that I ran fast, I ran all the way until I stood behind you, and I didn't feel it - to, until I was tired......"

Liu Shibai squinted and smiled:

"You're not tired, you're not tired, how can you pant like a cow? You're so bold, why are you like this now?"

Soranta lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at Liu Shibadao:

"Because, you gave me hope, saying that I might still be able to see my wife and children in this life, so I'm a little afraid of death, okay......"

Hearing Solanta's explanation, Liu Shibai immediately believed that people can indeed play extraordinarily in a frightened state.

But in the end, Liu 18 continued to ask:

"Did you count eight?"

Soranta replied breathlessly:

"No, that's right! plus the one you're standing on, that's eight!"

"Eight? interesting, really interesting!"

Liu 18 turned his head and stared at the statue carefully, then stretched out his hand and gently groped on the surface of the statue for a while, put a finger in his mouth and licked it.

Soranta was curious:

"What's interesting? When did these statues come about?"

Liu Shibai stared at the statue intently, stretched out his hand again and touched the back of the statue's head, and then said strangely:

"The age of these eight statues is correct, it is indeed from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Generally, stone statues will be carved from a single piece of stone, and there will be no components. ”

While speaking, Liu Shibai pointed to the statue in front of him and said:

"But these statues are certainly different, they look like they're carved out of stone, but if you touch them yourself, you'll find out.

The shoes worn on the feet of these statues and the swords and weapons on their hands, including the hairpins and crowns on their heads, were carved out of stone and attached. ”

Soranta wondered:

"What's strange about this, I remember seeing the statue of Venus, the goddess of love, and the little bow in his hand was not attached to it. ”

Liu Eighteen turned his head to look at Soranta and said strangely:

"The hair behind the facial features of this statue is real......"

"Really, really, what do you mean?"

Soranta's eyes widened.

Liu Eighteen showed a trace of solemnity on his face, and said softly:

"The weapons in their hands are all real people, but they have been blinded by the dust of time after a thousand years, and those hairs are real people's hair. ”

"What, the hair of a living person, used in sculptures, it's rare......"

Soranta's eyes bulged out, his face full of disbelief.

Liu Eighteen's expression changed, and he said with a gloomy smile:

"You're wrong! It's not that the sculpture is made of human hair, it's that the whole sculpture itself is made of human beings.

I just scraped it with my fingers, and the low ash of these sculptures has a lot of plaster, so I concluded that the statues must be human corpses inside. ”

"Huh?"

Soranta screamed in fright and could no longer speak.

Liu Shibai looked down at the old black who had been staring at him with a golden glow in his eyes, and said with a wry smile:

"Let's go back to grandpa's old business......"

"Whew......"

After Lao Hei whimpered when he heard this, a pair of dog eyes blinked, and the golden mangs in his eyes soared!

"Huh!"

Liu Shibai chuckled, but his face gradually became calmer, as if he had returned to the captain who had strategized and won thousands of miles away......

"Let's go down! Lao Hei should find a way out, continue to lead the way!"

After resting for a while, Liu 18 said to Soranta and Lao Hei.

——————————

The exit of this large cave, just in the middle of the eight statues, also has a corridor that is only two people wide.

The difference is that this corridor is not the same natural passage as the previous one, but is artificially excavated, because the four sides of the corridor are paved with thick green bricks.

Most of these brick-paved roads are intact, but there are many sections that are twisted and deformed, and the bricks are broken a lot, which Liu 18 speculates is caused by the extrusion and distortion after the mountain shakes.

The road is still a little downward, and if you don't pay attention, you won't feel it at all.

However, what Liu Shibai felt was not just as simple as tilting, he even felt that this corridor was slightly showing the style of a circular staircase extending downward.

In other words, this road is quietly circling in a large circle, extending deep into the belly of the mountain.

The two of them walked for about half an hour without saying a word in this dark and gloomy environment, and finally came to the end!

————————

"Whew!"

An inexplicable wind suddenly blew in, blowing out the torches of Lao Hei and Soranta.

"Ah, Chief, Torch ......"

Soranta screamed in fright.

Liu Eighteen stiffened his face, took out two more torches from the gold order with his backhand, lit them, and handed one to Soranta.

Lao Hei can see at night, but in fact, he doesn't need a torch at all, and Liu Shibai saved one.

Holding the torch, Soranta looked around, and after seeing her face clearly, she moved forward one step at a time, and whispered as she went:

"What kind of place is this, it looks like it's dark everywhere, why can't you see the edge?"

Liu 18 didn't respond, because he didn't know either, but when he turned his head, he found that he seemed to see a glowing object on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

"Wait!"

Liu Eighteen said suddenly, and after stopping, he took Lao Hei with a torch and walked hurriedly in one direction for dozens of meters, and then squatted down quickly.

Soranta's heart was furious, and she hurriedly followed and shouted:

"Don't run far, don't leave me!"

Walking to Liu Eighteen's side, Soranta looked down and said curiously:

"Boss, what did you find?"

Liu Shibai stood up slowly, held a torch to shine a plastic bottle in his other hand, and said lightly:

"This should be the place where the more than 10,000 people who moved from Dingbian City before avoided the tide of corpses.

You see there's garbage all over the ground, water bottles, toilet paper, sweet potato stalks, all sorts of messes.

If my guess is correct, there is also a passage here that leads directly to the small building where Old Man Wang lives on the top of the mountain. ”

"It's so big here, it's almost impossible to see the edge, and it's really okay to hide tens of thousands of people, but where are we going?"

Soranta held up the torch in amazement, but there was still no head in sight.

In the dark, Liu Eighteen said coldly:

"Be quiet, listen carefully to the wind, and watch where the flames of the torches go.

I feel that this is the second basement floor that Old Man Wang told me, and if we find the way again, we should be able to see the tombstone of Li Muzhi's tomb!"

Soranta was covered in sweat and hair, and hurriedly responded:

"Behind the tombstone must be the forbidden area that Old Man Wang said, the forbidden area where dozens of people are missing. ”

"Whew!"

While he was talking, an inexplicable yin wind suddenly swept in, and the torches in the hands of Liu Eighteen and Soranta were blown out again......
