Chapter 31: The Cave of an Extinct Volcano

I thought about it again and again, and thought that the second hypothesis was more plausible (I hallucinated after I went to the altar). The illusion may be that the surrounding corpses died too unjustly to die blindly. That's why they ran out to make trouble and wanted to pull me over for the funeral.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that my nerves were tortured into such cranky thoughts at that time? This does not happen at all in normal times.

I took some gauze and tore it into small pieces and took it as paper money. He found three more cigarettes, burned them, and said as he burned them, "Everyone, I need to hurry now, you have great powers, and you are casting spells here." I can't afford to be small, please let me live, I'm ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the man over there suddenly smirked madly, and his voice was sharp as if it was not from him. I looked over there, and Li Dalei had become Li Ergou.

I was overjoyed, but I didn't expect that begging these unjustly killed ghosts just now would really work. It's just that the altar is still the same as it was, and it seems to be real.

I hurried to Li Ergou's side and said tentatively, "Hey! Can you hear me? ”

Maybe he just woke up, and when I asked Li Ergou, he didn't say anything, his eyes were empty, and he stood in place without a master. After a while, he looked at me in surprise and said, "Li Da ......."

He ...... There's something wrong with him," I said in a flash, and now I don't want him to know about his brother, "I'll take you to him." ”

However, Li Ergou didn't seem to hear what I said, and continued to talk to himself: "He won't come back!" I have sacrificed him, and the number will be enough, and it will be all over. ”

I was shocked to hear it, and I hurriedly asked what was going on. Li Ergou began to laugh again, and his body was crazy: "I sacrificed my brother to the shadow ghost, and I am the same." I really can't help it, I can't find more people, but it's okay, I'm two people short of me now! When the time comes, let the shadow puppet resurrect our entire family,"

I didn't know how to react, and I thought to myself, was this stupid with me? Still haven't come out of the illusion? "What are you talking about?"

He stared at me as if he had just suddenly realized that I was alive. Screaming at me, I was knocked down by him and hit hard in the face.

"Smack"

I felt my cheeks burn, and when I opened my eyes suddenly, I found myself lying on a stretcher, and Wang Ziyue was leaning over to look at me.

"Are you alright? Scare the hell out of you. Wang Ziyue's eyes were a little moist, and her voice trembled and said, "Where have you been, we finally found you." ”

I wiped the cold sweat on my head and asked Wang Ziyue: "How did I ...... just now?"

"You're sick, you're very sick, you don't know what's going on. Just now you were yelling there, kicking your arms and legs, I was afraid that you would lose your mind and slap you. Boss Bi said, "Are you sober now?" I'll punch you again? ”

As soon as I saw that Boss Bi was going to play really, I quickly told him to stop. At this time, Liu Guang also came over, looked down at me, paused for a while, and then asked me, "What happened?" Describe it to me. ”

I talked about what happened after I was forced to separate from the team, and deliberately didn't separate the illusion from reality, just to test how much Liu Guang knew.

"You're lying to me?" Liu Guang showed a ruthless expression, "When we found you, you were unconscious, and there were traces of burned corpses next to you. Didn't find out what you said about the altar at all. ”

I waved my hand and explained that I had really seen the altar, and that it was just a moment before Boss Bi woke me up.

"This Li Ergou is very smart and keeps us all in the dark." Liu Guang said, "What is his purpose? ”

We had a good hot meal, and while I was unconscious, Liu Guang and the others had reached the top of the mountain and found the entrance. I asked Boss Bi about their specific situation, and they told me that there was no one named Li Dalei at all, that the fisherman's surname was Yang, and that he died in the process of working as a guide for the large army. It was also the intestines that were pulled out of the mouth, and the skull was cut in half.

This matter is complicated, I really can't understand what Li Ergou is doing with this series of actions. He was definitely watching me near me before I fainted, and if I had hallucinated earlier, the fisherman Li Dalei would probably have been pretended to be Li Ergou.

Why did he do it? He could have caught me and offered sacrifices to his shadow puppeteers, so why didn't he kill me? The mystery I thought had been solved is now even more elusive.

Boss Bi and Wang Ziyue advised me not to think so much about it first, I was sick and should recuperate now, and besides, we will go to the ground tomorrow morning.

The next day, we started the operation according to Liu Guang's plan. Originally, our resting place was not far from the crater, but we walked for about a quarter of an hour before we came to the crater.

"Do we have to go from here?" Boss Bi looked a little scared, "Who would build the entrance in the crater you think about." ”

Wang Ziyue said: "Originally, there should have been an entrance, but now...... Maybe it was swallowed up by volcanic ash. "I really look at this crater, with a wide roof and gently sloping flanks, and the color of the ash is no longer so obvious, indicating that this volcano has not erupted for hundreds of years. The entrance to the cave is unfathomable, and it feels like you're going deep into hell.

"Then it won't ......"

Liu Guang interrupted Boss Bi's words: "It will erupt and it will have to enter, and if it does not erupt, it will have to enter." I'm up to the cracks here. But don't worry, there are a lot of treasures in here, whatever you want. ”

As soon as Boss Bi heard about people, he immediately became energetic, and his temperament was different. He straightened his chest and said, "That's it, Brother Guang, you know that antiques are the most valuable in these years." Everything is up to you. ”

Liu Guang didn't say anything, waved his hand, and we continued to walk. On the side, Boss Bi grabbed me and asked in a low voice, "Hey, is this extinct volcano dangerous?" ”

I smiled and quipped, "Brother Bi is still afraid of danger?" Don't claim that antiques are your strong backing? ”

Boss Bi waved his hand: "It's different, you hurry up and deduce that it's different if you went to college, give you Brother Bi a science popularization." ”

"An extinct volcano has not erupted in a time known to man." A hint of ecstasy flashed on Boss Bi's face, and I quickly added, "But it's not that there is no possibility of a reeruption." With a brush, Boss Bi's face turned from sunny to cloudy.

I asked him to calm down and continued: "But you can rest assured that it will take thousands of years for a large volcano to form, and this tomb must have been built later than the volcano was formed. In other words, the builder built on the foundation of this volcano, and with his vast attainments, he must have come up with a way to resist the volcano. "I say this for a reason, the previous Underwater Mirror Palace was built on the bottom of the sea, and I don't believe there is anything that this person can't do.

"Scared the hell out of me!" Boss Bi exaggeratedly wiped a handful of sweat, "Brother Du, don't play this kind of startling thing in the future, I'm old and can't stand being scared." ”

We reached the edge of the crater, and further down it was too steep to stand. We found a rope and tied it to a boulder, which was used by special forces and was resistant to pressure of no less than 1,600 kilograms. However, due to the danger of the operation, we discussed it and decided to send two people to explore the way first.

"Du Hao, the two of us, hurry!" Liu Guang waved at me. I was tempted not to go, but I did it. Although what I told Boss Bi just now was the truth, I was still nervous when I went down. Wang Ziyue patted me on the shoulder and comforted me.

Liu Guang and I fastened our seat belts, hung up the locks, and began to slide. From the outside it looks like a nostril, but from the inside it looks like a chimney. The high walls around it, the lower part is sloping and the vault is rounded, like an inverted huge funnel. A circular opening at the top, from where most of the light comes in.

Because of the shape of the crater, it was difficult for light to get in, so we turned on our headlamps and continued to descend.

"Can there be an entrance like the one you said you said you would have?" I couldn't help it, so I asked Liu Guang loudly.

"Of course, keep an eye out," Liu Guang said a little below me, "and look for a branch channel formed by a magma flow." ”

"It's here!" Liu Guang said, then pointed to a place with a flashlight and said, "Let's go in first." ”

I followed the light, and sure enough, a hole appeared. I followed Liu Guang down to the entrance of the cave and loosened the rope, and the scene here was different from the above, the ground at the bottom of the cliff was bumpy, and there were large volcanic rocks and huge pumice stones piled up on it.

Our rope has been specially modified to reach a length of 300 meters, and the depth here is about 200 meters, and the electrical signal can no longer be transmitted to it. But we brought flares, which can hit hundreds of meters into the sky, so it's a good fit for this.
