Chapter 149

Sweating profusely, the man said again and again, "They lost contact after crossing the cliff, and the jungle is infested with wild beasts, and my subordinates are now worried about whether they have beenβ€”"

Hearing this, Huo Ran, the man under the silver mask, turned around, and a cold light flashed in his deep and indifferent eyes, "Do you know how important that woman is to us, and you actually come to deal with us so lightly?" ”

"Yes, yes, my subordinates are confused! Subordinates damn it! The person who came jumped in his heart, "That woman is gone, presumably the emperor of the Great Qin State will not be in a hurry, and his subordinates think that it can-"

"Bastard!" The man under the silver mask finally got angry, and he raised his wide sleeves and slapped the person in the face.

The strength of this slap was not small, and it only made the mouth and nose bleed, but he stiffened up and didn't dare to move.

The eyes exposed under the silver mask were ruthless, and the voice was as cold as iron, "When did you actually learn to do things behind someone's ass?" When others can find it, it's your turn to go into battle? Get lost! ”

The man under the silver mask waved his hand to call for the other people who were hiding in the shadows, "Hold the important passes, once you see them, you know what to do." ”

After the order, he was silent for a moment and turned to leave.

-- Meishuang had been going for a long time, and when An Riyan came over, he saw several people silently sentry.

Mei Shuang saw him coming and said, "The thing we ate just now is supposed to grow between the rock walls and shouldn't be buried in the ground, but why was it dug up from the ground?" There must be demons in the abnormal, let's go over and take a look. ”

A few men cleaned up, and then followed the coachman brothers to the place where they were digging tubers.

Sure enough, as the coachman said, I saw that the rock cliff where the root of the big tree was connected all the way up, and the green pothos were densely covered, intertwined with the branches of the ancient trees, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see that the green pothos behind the ancient trees were growing on the stone wall.

"The brutes in this place are growing well, but it's really weird."

Cong Fei pointed from the bottom to the top, only to see the green radish densely covered, large and small brute heads hanging on the branches, one by one chubby and very gratifying, the branches along the ground, hanging a lot of brute heads.

Kato eats a lot, obviously he hasn't been hungry before, so he can't help but stretch out his knife and cut a few more pieces at this moment, and everyone eats after taking the blade into multiple portions.

Only Meishuang looked thoughtfully at the soil layer beneath the stone wall.

A few people didn't know what Mei Shuang was thinking, and they said that there was something beautiful about the brute on the ground, and how fresh they wanted to eat.

I only heard Meishuang tell Cong Yue, "Can you dig up here?" ”

Although Cong Yue felt that Mei Shuang's behavior was strange, he still pulled out his waist knife as he said and thrust it down in the direction of Mei Shuang's finger.

This interlude also felt different. I have been walking in the jungle all year round, and I have some understanding of the soil quality. After this knife, I only felt that the soil was soft and abnormal.

Meishuang heard his "huh", and immediately confirmed her guess, so she asked everyone to hurry up and help dig the soil.

Although a few people didn't know why, they also realized that Mei Shuang must have discovered something, so they threw away the brute head that was still gnawing in their hands and began to dig along the branches of the brute head on the ground.

Everyone's feeling is the same, the soil is loose, cut down along the stone wall and start digging, and soon, a hole more than a meter deep is dug, but nothing new is found.

Cong Fei's ear was attached to the stone wall, and Cong Yue took out a small iron tong-like thing and knocked it on the stone wall, knocking it three times in a row, while Cong Fei listened with bated breath.

After a while, following the direction pointed by Cong Fei, Cong Yue used small iron tongs to row over the stone wall next to each other.

After a while, Cong Fei got up from the ground, patted the soil on his knees, and said, "That's right, Miss Lin is right, this stone wall is empty, dig along the place in front of you, maybe you will find something." ”

When the digging was almost done, the coachman brother asked everyone to bring some branches of different lengths and pad on them, and then let everyone lean back, he jumped and stepped on the center of the branch, only to hear a "boom", as if an earthquake had occurred, and the middle collapsed downward, driving the surrounding soil to sink one after another.

Several people looked at this scene in amazement, seeing that Cong Fei fell and disappeared instantly, they hurriedly leaned forward to check the situation.

No one would have thought that Cong Fei jumped out of a sinkhole-like black hole, which was more than ten square meters, and when he looked inside, he could only see through the moonlight that the roots of the trees that had been broken around the cave were exposed.

The moonlight couldn't find it inside, An Riyan lit a fire, poured the pine oil he carried on the branches, lit it and shone into the tree hole, the firelight illuminated the below, only to see that the hole was at least two zhang deep, and the ground was scattered with miscellaneous branches that had just been paved, but there was no shadow of Cong Fei, next to the deep cave that collapsed was a black hole, the hole was about two meters deep, maybe it was not ventilated all year round, and now the top was opened, and the wind suddenly came up, with an unpleasant smell.

"Brother, where are you?" Cong Yue was in a hurry, why is this blink of an eye-catching kung fu man gone? Even if you enter the hole, you have to say something, huh?

"Cong Fei, are you there?" Everyone's anxious voices echoed at the entrance of the cave, but they never heard Cong Fei's reply.

Everyone's heart sank.

Cong Yue was about to be transferred to the cave, but was stopped by Shi Jieyu, "Don't be impatient, this will be no one under your nose, there must be weirdness, let's wait." ”

Everyone gathered around the edge of the cave, listening to the whirring wind in the cave, trying to hear Cong Fei's response, but no one heard any echo for a short time.

Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind him, and a fishy smell blew along the wind.

Mei Shuang raised her head and screamed in fright, "There are wolves!" ”

Almost at the same time, a field of green eyes began to flicker behind several people.

Maybe it was because of the torches, so they didn't rush forward, but a few people in a circle of more than a dozen wolves couldn't escape.

Looking at the prey in front of him, the wolves were not in a hurry, and quietly squatted down and prepared to wait for the opportunity.

Breaking through is unrealistic, and the only way out is through the hole in front of you.

"Jump!"

An Riyan gave an order, the torch in his hand was thrown at the wolves, the wolves were frightened by the firelight, retreated, took this opportunity, several people jumped down from the cave together, and when they rolled up from the ground, the entrance of the cave was full of wolves, but none of them dared to jump, they could only howl in a circle on it.

After landing on the ground, several people found that the ground was dry, and they came to the place where the bush flew to the ground, and the ground was very thick, revealing miscellaneous branches.

Suddenly, An Riyan stepped forward, and after removing the branches and falling soil, he found that it was actually a stone slab. Some of those branches were caught by the edge of the slate, and after a closer look, he found that it was a slate mechanism that would automatically flip when it fell, and it was obvious that Cong Fei was locked down by this mechanism.

Several people were overjoyed, and they hurriedly cleaned up the surroundings of the mechanism, only to see that the stone slab under their feet was about two square meters square, connected to the surrounding stone slabs.

Cong Yue didn't say a word, took out an iron drill and inserted it into the gap of the slate, and several people worked together for a while, but the slate did not move at all.

Cong Yue could only use the iron hammer to knock on the stone slab, if Cong Fei was locked inside, he would definitely be able to hear it. After a while, an echo came from the slate.

"Where there is a mechanism, there must be a switch." An Riyan got up decisively, and after several people began to look around the cave, they finally went to the cave to take a look.

The entrance of the cave is irregular, as if it is a space squeezed out by the collision of rocks, which can be high enough for people to pass, since there is a mechanism, it means that someone has set foot here.

Kato raised the torch and stood in front of the entrance of the cave, looked inside, the torch light was limited, it could only shine a few feet away, and then it was pitch black inside, after walking in, he only felt that there was a cold wind blowing on his face, and walked a few meters along the cave, the cave just allowed two or three people to walk side by side, and you could see the stone wall of the cave with knives and axes and chisels, covered with moss.

Several people were anxious to save Cong Fei, but after groping on the wall for a long time, they didn't find the so-called mechanism at all.

Outside, Shi Jieyu and Cong Yue were still looking for them, but they still didn't find anything after cleaning up the surrounding stone slabs.

Cong Yuexin said that his brother fell off the slate, and he didn't know if there was any evil in the organ, so he knocked on the slate from time to time, and only felt relieved after hearing the response.

An Riyan and Kato walked around inside for a while, then came out and said, "I don't see any mechanism inside, this cave should not be shallow, and I don't know if it can lead to the opposite side according to the trend." ”

Cong Yue sat in front of the stone slab, his eyes straight, "My brother is proficient in caves, and now he is below, how can he be good?" ”

A few people sat down again and began to figure out what to do.

"What is the purpose of this organ not to be stored in a day, but to be placed here?" Meishuang asked.

Looking up at the top, I couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that there was something else under the ground where I walked? That is to say, their current location should be the root of a big tree, and the body of the tree is also intertwined, and the days have been long, and it has formed a hollow here.

But how to rescue Cong Fei now?

Listening to the sound of hitting the slate seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, Cong Yue was in a hurry, raised the pliers in his hand and smashed it hard, intending to smash the slate, but was stopped by Kato, "What if you smash the slate, what if you hurt your brother?" ”

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice from the cave, "Why did you come down?" ”

A few people looked back and saw that it was Cong Fei.

Cong Yue was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother, where did you go just now?" It's easy to find us. ”

Flying around the bushes covered in dirt, several people were a little excited, "I thought you were pressing under the stone slab." ”

Cong Fei came over to look at the slate, his face changed, and Cong Yue, who was still holding the iron drill in his hand, asked, "You want to break the slate?" ”

Seeing Cong Fei's different complexion, several people were stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"yes, since it's not you down there, what is it?"

"And, brother, how did you get into the cave? Why didn't we see you when we went in just now? Cong Yue is also very strange.

Cong Fei shook his head, "Do you think that the mechanism of this stone slab is to prevent people from outside from coming in?" Actually, this is to prevent the contents from going out. ”
