Chapter 1208: Enter
"How? Let's go in and have a look? ”
Erlang suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing and the three of them, and said with a smile: "Since we are here, we can't say anything if we don't go in and have a look, of course, if the three of you don't want to follow us on the adventure, then ask the three of you to stay outside and watch the wind for us, and if you see a member of the public faction, remember to give us a call." ”
Ichiro nodded and continued, "Although we have reason to think that this tunnel is connected to the tunnel at the top of Climbing Mountain, it is also possible that this tunnel actually leads to other places, so there is no need for you to risk our adventures. ”
Although Ichiro and Erlang are talking about deep affection, Liu Xing knows very well that these two guys are acting, and they are also squeezing the three of them with words, forcing the three of them to take risks with them, otherwise after today, the story of "members of the Sawada family not keeping their promises" will begin to circulate within the samurai faction.
Therefore, after a short eye contact between Liu Xing and the others, Zhang Jingxu stood up and said: "Since this tunnel is very likely to be connected to the tunnel on the top of the mountain, and the bear monster should still be in this tunnel, then we will definitely keep our promise and advance and retreat with everyone in the strange talk, so let's go in now, right?" ”
Hearing Zhang Jingxu say this, Ichiro said very happily: "I know that you Sawada family are all particular people, so let's pack up and prepare to go in, but of course we will do the work of opening the way." ”
After Ichiro finished speaking, the few members of the Strange Talk Club next to him who were holding flashlights and short knives carefully walked into the cave, and Erlang also took out a short-barreled shotgun and followed into the tunnel, while the other Strange Talk Club members outside the cave were assisting the two tall muscular men among them to wear iron armor, Liu Xing estimated that even the sharp claws of ghouls might not be able to cut through this iron armor.
As for Ichiro, now he has gone to a distance and made a phone call, and it seems that he should be contacting the president of the Strange Talk Society.
To be honest, Liu Xing was still very interested in the president of this strange talk club, because since he could train a group of newly graduated students into professional investigators, it showed that this person was still quite capable.
I just don't know if there are other forces behind this president.
"Liu Xing, you take this."
Yin En suddenly approached Liu Xing, and put a round object into Liu Xing's pocket very covertly, "This is a sugar pill that can allow you to reduce your need to breathe, and if we enter a place where there is a lack of oxygen later, you can eat it, and it will make you not feel uncomfortable because of the thin oxygen." ”
Liu Xing nodded and said in a low voice: "You can give me this sugar pill in the open, why do you want to be sneaky?" ”
Yin En smiled, shook his head and said: "This is a life-saving thing, I only carry four with me, so in addition to the three of us, if I really encounter danger at that time, I can only help one more person, but the relationship between Ichiro and Erlang and the two brothers seems to be very good, so I am worried that I am giving you this sugar pill now, if Ichiro is concerned, he may be unfavorable to us at that time, so we have to eat the sugar pill as soon as possible." ”
Hearing Yin En say this, Liu Xing suddenly said with some uneasiness: "Hearing you say this, is it possible that we will encounter the danger of hypoxia later?" Could it be that this is the mechanism that the Luca civilization prepared for the secret base? ”
Yin En glanced at Ichiro, who was still on the phone, nodded and said: "That's right, the Luka civilization must have prepared various mechanisms near its secret base, and these mechanisms need to be unlocked by the Luka civilization's own people, so if we want to get close to the secret base of the Luka civilization, we may encounter all kinds of mechanisms, but because of disrepair, many of the finely made mechanisms have been scrapped, and among the remaining mechanisms, the most famous is the oxygen maze, the design of this maze is actually very simple, The closer you get to the exit of the maze, the lower the oxygen level there is, until the last stretch of the road is completely devoid of oxygen. ”
"If that's the case, then this oxygen maze is actually quite easy to pass, but the appearance of this oxygen maze looks no different from an ordinary tunnel, so we only realize that we have entered the oxygen maze when we find that the oxygen content around us has dropped, and as everyone enters the maze, each node in the maze will be blocked with high-strength alloy plates, so we have no way back, of course, we can also choose to dig the rock wall directly, As long as we can dig up the alloy inner wall that is more than a meter thick, so in the end, we will definitely fall into the point of lack of oxygen, and Liu Xing, the sugar pill in your pocket will become the last straw. ”
At this time, Zhang Jingxu also came over and said seriously: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, so we must be prepared." ”
Liu Xing nodded as if he didn't understand, and then couldn't help asking, "So, do we really want to take such a risk?" If we take the wrong step, we may not recover. ”
Zhang Jingxu and Yin En put on an expression of "I knew you would say that", Liu Xing was a little depressed, and only he knew the least here.
"Liu Xing, you don't have to worry, in fact, all the secret bases of the Luka civilization are divided into three levels according to the security level and the materials stored in them, and these secret bases of different levels have their own set of agency standards, so there are only three versions of this oxygen maze, so we only need to pay attention to the closed nodes after discovering that we have entered the oxygen maze, and we can guess the correct exit route." Yin Eun said with a smile.
As soon as Yin En's words fell, Ichiro came over after making a call, "Without further ado, let's hurry up, I have just notified people to send drones to monitor the situation on our side, if there are suspicious people approaching here, we will leave here directly, so as not to be caught in the urn; By the way, there is already a fight on the top of the mountain, and several forces are fighting for their ability to enter the tunnel first, and it seems that they will not be able to take care of us here for a while. ”
As he spoke, Ichiro put on a leather jacket with the help of others.
"This leather jacket is made with a special process that will inflate like an airbag when attacked, so as to prevent me from receiving a fatal blow, so I'll open the way for you later." Ichiro said with a smile.
After saying that, Ichiro raised his hand and waved, and took the lead into the cave.
Liu Xing and the three of them thought about it and chose the position in the middle of the team very tacitly, because this is the safest place.
As soon as he entered the cave, Liu Xing smelled a vague smell, and Liu Xing couldn't tell where the smell came from, because the smell seemed to be everywhere, seeping out of the rock wall all the time.
However, Liu Xing didn't doubt for long, and felt his mobile phone start to vibrate in his pocket, and Liu Xing knew that this was the answer that Yin En or Zhang Jingxu wanted to tell him about the smell.
Liu Xing pretended to take out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function, then avoided the gaze of the member of the Strange Talk Club behind him, and glanced at the text message sent to him by Zhang Jingxu.
The content of the text message is very simple, just two words - Luca and harmless.
It seems that now it is certain that his group is approaching the secret base of the Luca civilization, and this smell should be related to the organs prepared by the Luka civilization, maybe the raw materials used by these organs will emit this smell?
At this time, the members of the Strange Talk Club also began to discuss the strange smell, but Ichiro, who was walking in front, spoke up to reassure everyone, claiming that the smell should come from the bear monster itself, which was to put it bluntly that the bear monster was marking its own territory.
As soon as Ichiro's words came out, the discussion came to an abrupt end, and it seemed that Ichiro still had a lot of prestige in front of the members of these strange talks.
At this moment, Erlang, who was walking in the front, suddenly said loudly: "The people in the back are coming over quickly, we found that the bear monster ate the rest of the food!" ”
Hearing Erlang say this, Liu Xing and the others sped up.
Soon, Liu Xing and the others came to a three-way intersection, and at the middle intersection there was a pile of fruits that had begun to rot, and these fruits had already turned into a ball, and Liu Xing couldn't identify what kind of fruits they were.
"According to the average temperature and humidity in this cave, this pile of fruit should have been placed here by the bear monster within a week, so this should be the lair of the bear monster, but judging from this three-way intersection and various artificial traces in this tunnel, someone should have built a secret base in the climbing mountain, and judging from the average width of these tunnels, the main function of this secret base is Tibetans, so I suspect that one or even two of these three passages have traps." Ichiro said as he squatted in front of the pile of bad fruit.
Liu Xing picked up his mobile phone and scanned the three passages, and said: "There are traces of the bear monster scratching the rock wall and grinding its claws in the middle passage, and there are no traces of human or bear monster activity in the left and right passages. ”
"Then we'll have the middle!"
Ichiro said without hesitation: "We don't have that much time to analyze now, so it's better to choose the most reliable path." ”
After speaking, Ichiro took Erlang to take the lead into the middle passage, and Liu Xing and the three of them did not hesitate much, and followed closely into the middle passage.
After not taking a few steps, Ichiro, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and whispered, "Everyone be careful, there is something in front of you that seems to be a mythical creature." ”
Liu Xing and the three of them lowered their footsteps very cooperatively, and then looked at the front of the passage when they approached Yilang and Erlang, and sure enough, a "roadblock" appeared in front of them.
The size of this "roadblock" is not large, it looks like a kitten, but Liu Xing can clearly see that the body of this "roadblocker" is covered with dense barbs, and the tips of these barbs are still flashing with a faint blue light, it seems that these barbs are likely to be poisonous.
However, this "roadblocker" seems to have seriously deteriorated its eyesight because it has lived in a dark environment for a long time, so although it has been "staring" at Liu Xing and others, it has always closed its eyes.
"If it has lost its eyesight, we have many ways to deal with it, but the barbs on its body are not vegetarian at first glance, if nothing else, its attack method should be to send out all the thorns on its body, so leave it to the two Black Island brothers to deal with here."
As he spoke, Ichiro beckoned Liu Xing and the others to retreat with him, and at this time, the two ironclad men also came out of the crowd, one of them holding a large shield that was better than his own, while the other was holding a flamethrower.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that this was stable.
For the sake of insurance, Ichiro took Liu Xing and the others to retreat to the three-way intersection, and specially instructed everyone to hide in the passages on the left and right, and then snapped his fingers, and the two ironclad people who were already in place began to act.
After hearing only the sound of "whew", Liu Xing heard a crackling sound, and it seemed that the "roadblocker" really tilted all the barbs on his body to attack him.
However, the voice did not last for a few seconds, and a deep male voice was heard, "Captain, the mission is complete, but the barbs emitted by this mythical creature are all poisonous, so it will not be too late for you to come back after I clean them all up with flames first." ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xing heard a few more "hoops", and then after the male voice said "safe", Ichiro couldn't help but run over.
Liu Xing and the three were not in a hurry, and only after Yilang and Erlang "risked their lives" and made sure that they were completely safe over there, Liu Xing and the three walked over.
When he saw the dense pits on the big shield, Liu Xing was suddenly a little glad that the mythical creature didn't attack at the first time, otherwise he would have to become a hedgehog... The kind of dead warped.
As for the mythical creature, it has now been burned to ashes.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a mythical creature called the Thorn Beast, but this mythical creature has been an endangered species for more than a thousand years, because it is very suitable for use as a tomb beast, because you have just seen it, if those tomb robbers in ancient times entered the tomb with torches, they would have unknowingly attracted the attention of the Thorn Beast because of the limited lighting distance of the torch, and when they found the Thorn Beast, the Thorn Beast would have already launched an attack."
