Chapter 209, Ice Pit

"It's such a weird material, even if it's just this small piece, it still makes people in a trance." Li Lao said with some palpitations: "What the hell did Huo Yuanshan take us to!" ”

"I don't know where Huo Yuanshan wants to go, if my guess is correct, this crack is the only way to go to that place."

Grandpa didn't stop his movements, still destroying the body of the stone statue.

"This thing is not just an ordinary stone, it can trap people's minds. Someone hid it here, so that he could be sure that anyone would pay attention to that place, and he would pass through it. I've been skeptical for a long time, but now it seems that the scope of this thing is far greater than I thought. ”

Click...... Click!

It wasn't until the statue was smashed that the effect dissipated.

Back to the place just now, everything in front of him still made Li Lao's heart skip a beat.

The corpses of the previous Nazis were riddled with bullet holes, almost shattered, and even the surrounding stone walls were devastated.

In the pool of blood, there were a few Huo Yuanshan and Hong Lao Jiu's subordinates, who had been beaten into a sieve.

Li Lao couldn't imagine how they had been going around in circles here during the previous period.

The man on the ground crawled to his feet groggily, completely unaware of what had happened to him.

Afterwards, Li Lao also doubted whether everything he experienced at that time was true or false. The whole process is weirdly elusive. At that time, they passed by the crack more than once, but almost subconsciously avoided the entrance of the cave, and were still reluctant to enter.

Li Lao said that this may be an instinct.

In the face of unknown dangers, people's subconscious will be very likely to stay away.

Caught in it, what they think is no longer under their control, and the only thing left is the biological instinct to survive.

Come to think of it, the death of those Nazi German soldiers has a lot to do with this stone statue, but fortunately, Grandpa found it in time, which saved everyone from suffering.

It seems that the stone statue has an inextricable magic, once people enter this snowy region, they will be affected by it, only to know that they will not be able to move forward, and finally die here.

Even if he returned to the rift, it would be useless, and the closer he got to the statue, the more disturbed he became, and he couldn't extricate himself from it.

Perhaps the German also discovered the strangeness of the crack, but he could not get rid of the interference of the stone statue, and finally died in endless pain.

For Li Lao, his grandfather has too many secrets that he can't understand, and being able to stay sober in that kind of pain is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

"This place is really evil, hurry up and leave, so as not to cause more trouble!"

After experiencing the danger in the stone crevice, no one wants to stay for another second.

Out of the crack, it was already bright outside, the storm had long since stopped, and the scene outside had become different.

Li Lao stared intently at the outline of a mountain not far away.

He had seen the mountain before, on the last page of the German notebook.

Although Li Lao couldn't read German, from that page, the handwriting behind it began to become messy and scribbled, and the owner of the notebook must have encountered something that made him so excited and uneasy.

Sure enough, Huo Yuanshan's next route verified Li Lao's conjecture.

Without the interference of the stone statue, it only took them half a day to reach the top of the mountain.

A huge ice pit appeared unsuspectingly.

The pit is circular, eight or nine meters in diameter, and the arc is so perfect that it is impossible to believe that this thing is naturally formed.

The bottom of the pit is inclined downward, deep and bottomless, the more you look down, the deeper it is, and the deeper it is, the deeper it is that people can't help but be afraid.

Chen Ze threw a piece of gravel underneath.

The gravel slid down at a rapid pace, and soon disappeared without a trace, and there was no sound of landing for a long time.

"This pit is at least a thousand meters deep, and it has reached the ground."

After a short rest, Huo Yuanshan instructed the remaining people to hammer nails at the entrance of the cave, install ropes and prepare to climb down.

This is the final destination of his trip.

So many people died, and it was just the beginning.

Li Lao looked at the bottomless pit, this was not the first time he had seen such a place.

Before meeting Zhou Yaoting, Li Lao was a carpenter who mixed in with the crowd.

But no one would have thought that this young carpenter would be the descendant of a well-known mechanic in the industry.

The world only knows that they are inherited from the craftsman god Luban, but no one has ever known what they have been looking for for thousands of years.

The last time I saw this thing was on a bronze plate in his master's relics.

The copper plate is simple and heavy, but it is incomplete. Around it were irregular breaks, apparently smashing from something.

There are carvings on the board, and it is this bottomless pit that is bottomless.

Master Li was very surprised to leave, and he didn't have time to tell Li Lao everything, and the bronze plate also became a knot in his heart.

From south to north, how many pots and lamas know.

As long as you have a mechanic, you can dare to walk through the dangerous pit.

As the originator of craftsmen, Lu Ban has thousands of craftsmen who know how to work in later generations, but there is only one vein that Lu Ban really inherits.

This vein is hidden deep in the city and few people know about it.

Li Lao rarely mentions his inheritance, but in Chen Tao's opinion, Li Lao's life is enough to continue to write a legend.

After some preparation, everyone climbed down the ice pit one after another

"Follow me." Grandpa told Li Lao and Chen Ze and climbed down first.

The ice walls are slippery and bottomless.

Everyone relied on the ropes in their hands to stabilize their bodies. If something happens to the rope, they are absolutely dead.

The wind gradually rose outside the pit, and the sound of the wind became distorted and strange to the ears of the people.

Sometimes the waves are stormy, like the roar of a chariot, and then suddenly fall silent, like the whispers of ancient times.

The sunlight shone obliquely on the ice wall, penetrating the thick layer of ice, making it impossible to see what was underneath.

Everyone went all the way down, and as the depth increased, each step became extremely cautious.

Overhead, all that looked was a round mouth the size of a washbasin, and the surrounding light became dim.

"There aren't enough ropes!"

The pit was more than rope long, and the crowd hung in mid-air, re-nailing the smooth ice wall.

This process is much more difficult than imagined, and it is difficult for people to exert their strength when they are suspended in the air.

The beam of the headlamp swayed on the ice wall with the swing of the person, and in the refracted light and shadow, Li Lao looked at the bottom of the pit, and suddenly felt a black shadow passing by.

He shook his head, thinking he was dazzled.

Sting!

"It's not good, get out of the way!"

There was a sudden noise overhead, and before Li Lao could react, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and a huge weight smashed straight into his body.

As soon as the hand was released, the whole person began to slide down at a rapid speed.

It turned out that there was a person on it who had taken off his hand and slipped down just now, and he pulled it down along with Li Lao.

Out of control in an instant, Li Lao's hand groped wildly on the ice wall, and grabbed the rope hanging down beside him.

"Chen Ze!"

Grandpa called Chen Ze for help.

The ice wall is diagonally descending, surrounded by ice, and the resistance is almost zero.

Li Lao's speed of sliding was too fast, Chen Ze reached out and grabbed Li Lao's backpack.

But the speed at which he slid down was so fast that Chen Ze couldn't grasp it steadily, and he took off his hand in an instant.

"Ahh

The person who slipped down before screamed and disappeared into the darkness, and Li Lao's heart was all mentioned, thinking that this time he was afraid that he would be planted.

Click!

There was a stabbing sound in his ears, and an ice-breaking axe slammed down, and the tip of the axe buckled into Li Lao's back collar.

At the same time, two hands grabbed Li Lao's arm.

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

After stabilizing his mind, Li Lao noticed that the person who saved him was Chu Yuxuan.

"Thank you, Brother Chu, I owe you my life."

"Chrysostom Yuyan, the third master and one promise are comparable to a thousand gold, I accept this favor."

She's a smart woman.

Elder Li owes him a favor, which is equivalent to what Lingmeng owes her.

Chu Yuxuan smiled, but his eyes glanced at his grandfather above.

"Master Chen, the grace of saving your life can be regarded as half of your return."

After some twists and turns, everyone finally approached the deepest part of the huge pit.

Click!

Boom!

A flare pierced through the darkness and instantly illuminated everything around it.

No one would have thought that there would be such a large space in this kilometer-deep underground.

It's like a huge square.

The dark black rock wall was craggy, and under the flash of the flares, there was a dark light like black blood, as if they were in the hell of Yama, which made people feel chills all over their bodies.

Layers of gray-white ice air lingered on the ground, like churning clouds, and it looked gray from a distance, and it was almost impossible to see the road under your feet.

At the farthest distance, there is a towering inverted trapezoidal building.

The building was all black, like a dark mountain standing at the end of the darkness, thick and simple, I don't know how long it has existed here.

The heavy and distant historical breath in the darkness came to the face, and people couldn't help but worship it at a glance.

Someone in the crowd swallowed, almost forgetting the purpose of their trip.

"Is it a blessing or a curse...... Peng Jinsheng touched a goatee, the look in his eyes was difficult to hide, "This is definitely not a good place, ordinary people have entered, I am afraid that there will be no return!"

"The momentum alone has already made people retreat by three points, and such a place is simply a miracle!"

Huo Yuanshan clenched his fists, and Li Lao could even feel that his voice was trembling a little because he was too excited.

"The only one who can be buried in such a place is the Grim Reaper." Xu Zixue's Mandarin was very stiff, and along the way, except for a few words of communication with Huo Yuanshan, she hardly spoke to anyone else.

Click!

One step was taken, and there was a strange crunch sound from under his feet, as if something had been trampled on.

When I looked down, I saw that what was trampled on was a broken bone.

"This ......"

It turns out that the so-called "ice gas" is all ashes, which makes people gasp.

On this wide field, there are densely packed with bones, covering almost the entire area.

I don't know how long these bones have been here, but they crumble into slag when touched, and there is a layer of gray-white broken ash on the ground, all of which are caused by the weathering of the bones over time.

Occasionally, rusty armor and weapons could be seen in the pile of bones, rotten and shattered when touched.

This is not hell, but an ancient battlefield!

No wonder there is such a strong aura of slaughter

Call......

A skull slipped from the pile of bones, and the broken bones on the ground were smashed, stirring up a layer of gray smoke.

"Master, doesn't this look like a human bone?" Peng Jinsheng's apprentice picked up a broken bone on the ground.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." Peng Jinsheng recited the trumpet, touched a goatee, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, and said something in his mouth:

"Birds can't fly, beasts die in groups, and the land of Rongge is the most bloody. This bone is mostly the sweat and blood of the horse, and he died here, whining and mourning...... This time, you have to pay attention!"
