Chapter 25: The Mysterious Cave
Xu Feng stretched out his hands and gently stroked the cliff, from top to bottom, from left to right, every inch was not spared. From time to time, the pen www.biquge.info also taps the cliff wall with his fingertips, and listens carefully to the echo from behind.
The path of the treasure map was pointed to and disappeared, and at the end of the guide was only this smooth cliff face, and there was nothing else suspicious. Xu Feng searched for the mechanism of the entrance without hesitation, because he knew that some treasure locations were not directly presented in front of him, but on the contrary, the entrance would be hidden very secretly to prevent others from prying eyes.
Batu watched Xu Feng caress a rock like a woman, and couldn't help but shudder, and then saw Xu Feng's focused and serious eyes, Batu suddenly felt very disgusted, and decided that the magic stick in front of him must be a pervert.
There was a strange feeling between his right hand, Xu Feng immediately squatted down to carefully inspect the cliff, but his eyes did not find any difference from other positions, the same tight, the same smooth as a mirror. Putting both hands here again, he could indeed feel a different touch, Xu Feng stretched out his index finger, dipped some saliva in his mouth, and then gently swiped along the strange wisps, under the reflection of the sun, his eyes could finally see that a faint gap was made around a square pattern on the rock, and he found it! Xu Feng pressed it vigorously with his hand.
"Boom!!" A loud bang startled the three Redbeards who were waiting in the distance, only to feel that the ground began to shake violently, and the rubble and dust in the sky suddenly spread, blocking everyone's view. "Ahem, cough~" The three of them began to cough uncontrollably.
After Xu Feng pressed the mechanism, the smooth cliff wall in front of him cracked straight from the middle as if it had been cut by a divine weapon, and slowly moved to both sides as the ground shook and the mountain shook.
When the dust settled, a circular hole more than 3 meters high appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It is a man-made entrance, the edge of which is made of an unknown blood-colored rock, emitting an eerie red glow in the sunlight. The whole cave mouth feels like a giant mouth of the abyss, which makes people shudder.
Redbeard and Batu were speechless from shock, and Barth looked at the sudden entrance with excitement in his eyes.
Xu Feng was neither shocked nor excited, he looked at the four ancient characters above the cave entrance with a solemn face, a little incredulous.
"Well done! Missionary, it seems that you are not only a veteran sailor, but also a good explorer, and it is a bit of a condescension to be Redbeard's spokesman for God in your ability, so I think you might as well follow me! Bart stepped forward and patted Xu Feng on the shoulder with his hand, he knew very well in his heart that this person named Hurricane was not a real preacher, and he followed Redbeard because he was going to kill him to vent his anger for his brother. But the value shown by this person far outweighs the damage to Batuu, and if he wants to realize his dream, it will be much easier to have such a help, at least this entrance cannot be found by himself.
Xu Feng ignored Barth's solicitation, but seriously suggested, "First Officer Barth, I don't know what you know and what you need to find, but I suggest that you better not enter this hole!" ”
Barthes didn't get angry because Xu Feng called him by name, but asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"Because of them!" Xu Feng pointed to the four ancient Chinese characters above the entrance of the cave and said, "These four characters are an ancient Chinese script called Xiao Seal, and this kind of writing was invented after the unification of the Qin Dynasty of China before 1500, so this place should have a history of at least thousands of years." “
Xu Feng continued to say solemnly, "I know the text on the door, it says don't enter if you're alive, which means that it's better for the living not to enter here!" ”
"You're obviously a European, and you actually say that you know the font of Huaguo more than a thousand years ago? Do you think we'll believe it? Big brother, I'll just say he's a liar! It's useless to keep it, just kill it! Batu pointed at Xu Feng's nose again and yelled loudly.
"Idiot!" Xu Feng scoffed.
"What do you say? You son of a bitch! I'm going to kill you! Batu was instantly enraged by Xu Feng's two words, and swung his fist and slammed it towards Xu Feng's head.
"Enough!" Bart reached out to block Batu's attack, and then slapped Batu fan out, "Batu! I told you to be quiet, didn't you hear me? ”
Batu was stunned, he didn't expect that his own brother, who had always loved him, would hit him! After being stunned for a few minutes, he suddenly cried out in grievance, and the ugly cry made the other three frown in unison.
Tormented by this cry like a ghost crying wolf, Barthes finally couldn't help but reprimand again, "Batu, shut up for me, and if you make another sound, I'll cut your tongue off!" You should know I can do it! ”
The crying stopped abruptly, Batu certainly knew the cruelty and horror of his own brother Barth! He had never personally felt his brother's anger, this time it seemed that his brother was really angry, and he couldn't help but recall the fate of many brothers against those who disobeyed him, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
After a farce of his own brothers, Xu Feng's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at Barthes again, he would be very helpless in his life if he could put on such an idiot brother, right?
"Alright, Hurricane, Batu won't attack you again, I promise. What else do you know about this place? ”
Xu Feng shook his head, "I don't know anything about this place!" Because I haven't been here, and I haven't found any description of this weird cave from any sources. But I'm sure there's a lot of danger inside. Just looking at the mechanism at the entrance is designed so magically, then the person who built this place must be a master of mechanism design, and these 4 words are all hinting at the danger of this place! ”
"Alright! It seems that you can only go in and explore it yourself! "Barthes doesn't care about danger, it's an extreme confidence in his own strength, besides, what could the ancients of thousands of years ago do? With the strength of his great sword master, any danger is destined to be cut off by his own sword, he looked at Redbeard again, "Captain Redbeard, if you give me the key now, I promise I won't kill you!" ”
Redbeard snorted coldly, "Even if I give it to you now, you will definitely take me inside, do you dare to let me return to the ship at this time?" ”
Barth knew that the old fellow still couldn't trust him, and he certainly couldn't trust Redbeard, just like Redbeard had said before, as a pirate, oaths and promises were bullshit and worthless.
"Oh well! Batu, don't go in, go to the longship and wait for us to come back!" With that, he turned around and entered the cavern that looked like the entrance to the abyss. Xu Feng and Captain Redbeard followed.
