Chapter 544: Behind You
"Go, of course. Aren't we here to find the whereabouts of the last fragment of the Forest of No Return? Zhao Qiqi looked at me seriously, and as she spoke, she had already taken out her weapon.
"Guys, be careful when you go in! If there is any danger, retreat quickly! I nodded and said.
When everyone heard this, they all took out their weapons, and then looked at the dark, bottomless cave in front of them with serious expressions.
"Let's go!"
Take a deep breath.
With that, I turned on the bracelet light, reached out to remove the vines blocking the way in front of me, and walked in.
In an instant, the dark cavern was illuminated by the lights of our all.
That's when we see our surroundings clearly.
But...... The moment we saw the environment, I was suddenly a little disappointed.
Yes!
It's just disappointment!
It's just an S-shaped cave.
At first glance, there is no danger.
"This place looks like it's artificially made. The walls are so smooth that they don't look like they're natural at all. I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked around.
"Yes, you can see that on the walls on the left and right, there will be torches at intervals, and it seems that if you light it with fire, it should be able to illuminate it!" Du Deming looked at both sides and said.
Zhao Qiqi glanced at the two of us: "Don't light the torch yet." We're in a cave right now, the air is relatively thin, and if we ignite it, the oxygen will be consumed faster. Although the entrance to the cave is open, it is better just in case. ”
I thought about it, and that's exactly what happened.
So I didn't say anything more.
Zhang Qiang, who was faster than all of us, had already reached the end of this cave that was only a dozen meters long.
Before he could pass, he heard Zhang Qiang exclaim.
"Hey, there's a wooden box here, you say, could the fragments be hidden in there?"
"Huh?" I glanced at Wang Yi next to me, and immediately shouted inside: "Don't open the box first, wait for us to come over!" ”
While speaking, we have walked to Zhang Qiang's side.
At the end of the cave was a hand-hewn stone platform that protruded outward, and it seemed that the person who made it used it as something similar to a table.
And on top of the stone platform, a wooden box was placed.
When I got closer, there was only a thin layer of dust on the wooden box, and it looked like it shouldn't have been sitting here for long.
"Could it be...... The fragment is in this? Was it so easy to find? Du Deming looked at the wooden box in front of him and muttered to himself suspiciously.
In fact, I was also a little puzzled in my heart, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Qiqi.
However, Zhao Qiqi glanced over his head and threw the question to me again.
I sighed and turned my head to look at Zhang Qiang: "Whether it's inside or not, just open it and see!" However, be careful! ”
Zhang Qiang saw that I had agreed to open the box, and he was already gearing up, so he immediately smiled: "Hehe, isn't it just a wooden box, can it still bloom flowers?" Look at me!! ”
said that although he said so, I could see that Zhang Qiang's expression was also a little nervous.
He swallowed, strained his neck, and cautiously reached out to open the closed lid.
Whoosh~~~
A dark shadow sprang out the moment the lid opened.
Because it was the second time, Zhang Qiang had already taken precautions.
He reached out and grabbed the thing with a quick hand.
"Hehe, I still want to attack the master, and I won't take a look, ah........."
Zhang Qiang was smug, but when he saw what that thing was, his face suddenly turned pale.
Because what he was holding in his hand was nothing else, but a triangular-headed viper with a black background!!
At this time, it was spitting out the letter and opening its big mouth, wanting to bite Zhang Qiang.
And Zhang Qiang was suddenly targeted by such a poisonous snake, and he panicked for a while.
He screamed as he pulled the hand that was holding the viper a little farther away.
The poisonous snake was in pain, and immediately became manic, and its body began to wrap itself around Zhang Qiang's arm.
Things happen only in a split second.
My heart tightened, and I took out my firearm to shoot at the poisonous snake, but I was worried that the bullet would hurt Zhang Qiang.
After thinking about it, I pulled out the dagger and was about to go over to help.
The next second, I heard a soft sound.
A silver needle flew out quickly, straight through the snake's head, and nailed to the wall.
You don't have to think about it, you know that the silver needle was struck by Situ Cao.
The others breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons one after another.
It seems that just now, everyone was going to come forward to help, but Situ Cao's movements were faster.
When the viper was hit, it immediately stopped moving.
"Mine, who is so vicious, he actually put a poisonous snake in the wooden box!" Zhang Qiang shook his hands as he spoke, and threw the poisonous snake to the ground.
"Alright, let's see what's in the wooden box first!" I smiled and shook my head, reaching out and patting him on the shoulder.
When everyone heard this, they all gathered to the wooden box.
The wooden box was empty, except for what resembled a metal key in the middle.
"Huh? What is it? I said, picking it up and looking at it, it was really the key.
"Keys? Is it the key to open something? Situ Cao looked at me.
"Maybe! Anyway, put it away first, maybe you will use it later! "As I spoke, I had put things in my pocket.
At this point, there was nothing suspicious left in the cave.
I glanced at the crowd: "There doesn't seem to be anything else to be found here, or let's go out first!" ”
"Indeed." Wang Yi nodded: "There's no point in staying here, and I don't know if there will be any other dangers." ”
So saying, the people turned and left.
However, Zhang Qiang stopped everyone: "Hey, wait a while, my shoelaces are loose, let me tie my shoelaces first!" ”
As he spoke, he took two steps back, trying to keep as far distance as he could from the dead snake on the ground, before crouching down.
However, at the moment when he crouched down.
His back inadvertently touched the wall behind him.
No.
Something inside the walls, to be precise.
The moment the thing was touched by a living person, it suddenly began to move.
After two or three seconds, Zhang Qiang tied his shoelaces and stood up.
"Alright, let's go!" As he spoke, he prepared to walk outside.
Originally, I was going to leave.
But the moment I turned to look at Zhang Qiang, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the wall behind him, and it began to squirm slowly.
My eyes widened.
"Strong, hadson!! Behind you!! I pointed behind Zhang Qiang and subconsciously took a step back.
"Huh? What...... What? Zhang Qiang also realized that something was wrong.
He stammered, then slowly turned around and looked behind him......
