The corridor behind the entrance of the cave was pitch black and narrow, and I couldn't see my fingers, and when I climbed in, I felt that there were some mobility difficulties, not to mention the bear, which was the size of a brown bear.

After struggling to crawl forward for a while, this kid suddenly stopped me: "Hu Tian, wait a minute!" ”

I stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Here you go...... Here you go! Xiong Ming said as he fumbled with something in the back, and after a while, I suddenly felt a light light light up behind me, and then Xiong Ming slipped an aluminum flashlight from the 80s into me with a wave of his hand.

I took it and looked at it, only to see that it was still rusty all over its body, and the edges were full of broken marks, and I couldn't help but think to myself: "Good guy, this flashlight is probably about the same age as me, right?" ”

Thinking of this, I turned my head slightly and asked Xiong Ming, "Where did you get such a flashlight?" ”

Xiong Ming smiled: "I turned it out in the house just now." I had an eye on it, and all our equipment was left on the car, in case there was a tunnel or something, and there wasn't even a single illuminated object! ”

Xiong Ming said and rummaged behind me again, I measured my body and shone the flashlight, and found that after a short time in this kid, he took out an identical aluminum flashlight from his waist, slapped it twice in the palm of his hand, and after a squeaky electric sound, the flashlight in his hand flashed twice, and then a stable, dark yellow pillar of light emanated from it.

Xiong Ming saw that the flashlight in his hand also lit up, so he grinned and said: "Hey, hey, fortunately, Master Xiong, I just turned out two, if you encounter a trap later, if there is not even a little light, wouldn't it be a loss?" ”

I looked at Xiong Ming's pouting and boasting face, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't say it, you kid also has a time when you are thick and fine, this time I will give you a first credit." ”

With that, I put the flashlight on my right hand and crawled towards the depths of the tunnel little by little.

Although the aluminum flashlight is a bit old, the range of light and illumination is not as good as today's professional wolf-eye flashlight, but as the old saying goes, "fly legs are also meat", in this environment, there is a bright is a thousand times stronger than a pitch black.

Due to the narrowness of the corridor, Xiong Ming and I did not climb fast, I carefully observed everything in the corridor with a flashlight, and nothing else happened along the way except for some handprints stained with ambergris on both sides of the stone wall.

However, slowly I noticed that the bloody handprints began to become denser and denser as the two of us went deeper and deeper.

At the beginning, there were only one or two bloody handprints every few meters, but now, dozens of ambergris-stained handprints have appeared on the walls on both sides of the corridor every dozen centimeters.

What's even stranger is that these bloody handprints don't look like they're disorganized, but more like they've been deliberately left behind for us to discover.

Some of them are in a row of three, fingers in front of them; Some are five in a circle, painted in the shape of a mandala flower; And some of them have seven or eight handprints pressed together, and they look like those disgusting green snails outside......

The two of us crawled forward for a while, and Xiong Ming finally couldn't help but ask, "Hu Tian, don't you think there is something wrong with these handprints?" ”

I whispered, "Of course I think there's something wrong with them, and although I can't say what they mean now, I always feel that these handprints are arranged according to some inexplicable pattern, as if some special symbol, or password, is conveying some kind of information to us." ”

Xiong Ming nodded and said, "I feel this way too." It's just that what are the four girls of the Hua family trying to tell us? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know!" ”

And just as I could finish speaking, suddenly there was a sound behind us.

The sound was not loud at first, just faint and faint, but after a while, the tingling sound of the scalp began to surge, and at the same time, the characteristic sound of the reptilian insect creature rubbing against the ground was also mixed in, and it followed.

After hearing this voice, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine and shouted, "Not good! Those damn green snails are catching up, Xiong Ming, climb forward! ”

Xiong Ming also shouted: "Nonsense! What the fuck do you say? Hurry up, you kid, those damn cockroaches are almost crawling to my feet! ”

I yelled, "Grandma, how did these guys come so fast? Didn't you block all the doors and windows? ”

Xiong Ming scolded: "How the fuck do I know? I even have the doors and windows sealed, who knows how these green snails crawled in? ”

I wondered and exclaimed, "Could it be that someone took advantage of our crawling into the tunnels to let them in?" ”

Xiong Ming scolded: "Grandma, if that's the case, Master Xiong will have to pull out his skin after I catch him!" ”

I said loudly: "Don't talk about those useless ones, get out alive first!" ”

With that, I began to crawl forward with my life.

But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and hit the head in the wind. Just as I had climbed about ten meters, a three-way intersection suddenly appeared in front of the road.

Three almost identical intersections.

Xiong Ming didn't prepare at all for me to stop suddenly, and one accidentally hit my foot, so he scolded loudly: "Your uncle, why don't you brake and turn on the tail lights?" Stopping so suddenly, if you kill Master Xiong and me? ”

Xiong Ming scolded for a long time and saw that I didn't respond, so he pushed me twice, "Hu Tian, what's wrong with you kid?" Why don't you move the place? ”

I turned back to Xiong Ming and shouted, "There are suddenly three more roads ahead, I don't know where to fucking go!" ”

And just as I turned around, the surging green snail behind me flashed with a dark red light and struck the two of us.

Not only that, but I scanned it with a flashlight, and I found that the dense crowd of green snails was also mixed with countless centipedes 17 or 8 centimeters long, which were rolling towards us one by one as if they were crazy.

There were more than a dozen fast green snails at Xiong Ming's feet at this time, and in an instant, this kid seemed to have turned into a big loach fish scalded by boiling water, and his legs kicked hard, kicking those green snails that climbed in front of him and flew out.

I knew how powerful these guys were, and I didn't dare to snap them with my hands at the moment, but raised my feet and trampled them all to death on the stone walls on both sides, and suddenly a dark red and smelly pus splashed out.

"Hu Tian, run! Just find a way to climb out first! If we continue like this, we'll both die in the mouths of these big cockroaches, and I don't want to make lunch for them! Xiong Ming shouted loudly while struggling hard.

At this time, I suddenly saw a black figure in the rightmost stone corridor.

However, due to the limited range of light from the aluminum flashlight, I couldn't see who this person was at all, but I was sure that the person in front of me was not Hua Muling, because this person was not tall, very thin and small, and looked like a child who had not grown up.

When the figure saw me looking at him, he didn't panic, but slowly stretched out a pair of thin little hands that seemed to be African refugees, and waved at me, as if to say, "Come!" Follow me! Go this way! ”

This is the style of doing things that I have always believed in, so when I saw the behavior of this black shadow, I did not immediately crawl towards him, but out of vigilance, I used a flashlight to sweep the two stone corridors on the left and in the middle, which were still empty, except that darkness was darkness.

And when I moved the flashlight back to the corridor on the right, the shadow was gone.

I couldn't help but be shocked, "Where did he go?" ”

But before I had time to think about it, Xiong Ming behind me suddenly heard a miserable scream,

I looked back and found that at this time, dozens of large and small green snails had climbed up Xiong Ming's body, and dozens of spotted centipedes were struggling to drill into the kid's trouser legs.

Seeing that the situation had become so dangerous, I stopped being entangled, crawled back a few times, picked up a flashlight to knock off more than a dozen green snails on Xiong Ming's body, and then grabbed the kid by the collar and lifted it up twice, and said loudly: "Is your kid dead?" If you're not dead, climb to the left! ”

Xiong Ming took advantage of my strength to pull him, and he surged up a long way, barely breaking out of the encirclement of the insect swarm. Then, like a brown bear rubbing against a tree, he rolled back and forth on the ground, crushing all the spotted centipedes that had burrowed into his clothes.

After a toss, this kid shouted: "You bear master, my life is hard!" If you're dead, I can't die! You kid doesn't want me to be eaten by these bugs, so hurry up and crawl forward! ”

After that, he followed me towards the corridor on the left.

I climbed all the way for about five or six minutes, and suddenly the road began to slope downward, and then the originally narrow road began to gradually become spacious, not only the distance between the left and right began to widen little by little, but the height of the top and bottom also began to increase little by little.

At first, Xiong Ming and I could only crawl forward a little bit, but at this time, the two of us could already bend down and trot forward.

As the corridor gradually widened downward, the two of us could not only stand up straight, but even run side by side. But we ran fast, those damn green snails chased faster, and after another ten minutes, the group of green snails that looked like a red tide was less than two meters away from the two of us.

What's even worse is that at this time, a stone wall suddenly appeared in front of the road!

"What? There is no way? I gasped.
