The ground under their feet was very soft, and the three of them had an extremely difficult time walking. There are also some small ponds with many small insects swimming in them.

A caterpillar with a red body and a length of ten centimeters crawled from Zhang Xiaohu's feet, and a colorful bird suddenly swooped down from the sky, snatching the insect away and disappearing into the depths of the forest.

"Chirp!" "Chirp!" There are all kinds of strange noises coming from the forest.

"This place is so scary, I feel uncomfortable just standing outside!" Zhao Zixuan waved his hand to drive away the mosquitoes and flies flying around him, and the mosquitoes here were equally big and scary.

"Master Wang, you... How did you come up with the idea of coming here? Zhang Xiaohu looked at the forest in front of him, as far as the eye could see, it was full of trees, only the clouds in the sky were used as references, and the trees in the distance were like neat bushes, boundless, and he felt that he had entered a green barrier. The trees were tall and straight, stretching their branches towards the sun, and the trunks were inlaid with vines and plants, and he really couldn't imagine that someone would take the initiative to enter the forest.

"Me! At that time, I really didn't want to live anymore, I just wanted to find a place where no one could see, to find relief. ”

"Are you adults so vulnerable? Why do you always want to kill yourself at every turn! Zhao Zixuan said speechlessly.

"yes!" Master Wang fell into deep thought and sighed: "It's not as clear as you children who have lived in vain at such an age, but I have figured it out, as long as you don't give up, everything will have a chance!" ”

Master Wang was holding a short knife and opening the way in front, Zhang Xiaohu was in the center, holding the Uzi knife in his hand, and Zhao Zixuan was holding a Mauser gun, on guard at the end.

The three of them walked slowly into the depths along the path carved out of the forest.

There is not enough light in the forest, and it is not clear to see from a little farther away. The air was very humid, the leaves were covered with dew, and the ground was covered with thick leaves, and when you stepped on it, you would often sink into it.

Twisted tree trunks, clumps of thorns, and strange creatures, this is unexplored territory for humans.

Master Wang took the two of them through the forest, and he needed to stop from time to time to identify them, so the three of them walked very slowly. However, as Master Wang emphasized before, the journey was indeed very safe, and there was no danger.

A strange tree appeared in front of him, and Master Wang walked to the side of the tree and stopped, and with the short knife in his hand, he scraped off all the green moss growing on the trunk, and a shallow mark could be seen on the bark below.

"That's right! This is it! Master Wang pointed at the uncle and said, "This is it, climb this tree, and you can see the entrance!" With that, he climbed up the tree.

"You two go that way!" Master Wang pointed in a direction on the tree.

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly took Zhao Zixuan and rushed to the direction of the sign.

"Alright, don't move!" Master Wang's voice sounded again.

In front of Zhang Xiaohu was a large green stone, and he didn't notice anything unusual. Soon, Master Wang also rushed over, only to see him carefully bypass the stone, not knowing what mechanism he touched, the boulder flipped up violently, revealing a small hole.

"Look, that's the place I'm talking to you about." Master Wang looked at the entrance of the cave and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go down first, you guys will guard from above!" Zhao Zixuan put the gun behind him, ran a rope down from the hole, held a torch in his hand, and was the first to slide down.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Zixuan's voice came from the cave: "Come down, it's okay!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu checked the rope again and slipped down himself.

This hole is designed straight, and there is a simple handle at each distance, so even if there is no rope, he can go down, which makes him more assured, and there is also a candlestick in the hole, which was lit by Zhao Zixuan in advance, and the situation of the entire cave wall can be seen clearly.

The cave is all covered with metal plates, and I don't know what kind of metal it is made of, but it has not shown the slightest sign of corrosion after the wind and rain, and it is still smooth and shining with the unique light of metal.

He soon slipped to the bottom, only to see a straight passage, now illuminated by candlelight. He didn't see Zhao Zixuan, maybe this guy went straight forward.

"Lao Zhang, come on!" Zhao Zixuan's voice came from the front. Zhang Xiaohu responded and ran forward quickly.

Soon, he saw that in an empty space, Zhao Zixuan was standing in front of a mural.

"Lao Zhang, you're here, look at what this painting means!" Zhao Zixuan said, and at the same time he took out the pen and paper and copied the paintings on the wall little by little.

Master Wang also rushed over at this time, and he said: "Look, I said that this place is strange, such a big project has been wasted in this forest, just for this empty house, this painting can't be understood!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu also had a surprised expression, and suddenly, his face changed dramatically and asked, "Master Wang, how long have you been here?" ”

Master Wang scratched his head and replied, "It's not a long time! I came down to see that there was nothing, so I stayed for a while, and then I went back. ”

Zhang Xiaohu asked: "Go back, how long did it take you from coming out to going back?" ”

Master Wang recalled for a moment and said, "It didn't take long! Maybe only a day or two. I came out to die, so I didn't bring anything, but after being in it for a while, I suddenly didn't want to go to extremes. Since I didn't want to die, of course I went back. ”

"Lao Zhao, are you done painting!" Zhang Xiaohu suddenly shouted,

"Soon, there are still a few places to finish!" Zhao Zixuan had an inexplicable expression.

"Let's go! Get out of here now! Zhang Xiaohu pulled Zhao Zixuan and the two of them and quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave.

"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you!" Zhao Zixuan didn't know why Zhang Xiaohu had such a violent reaction, he finally came down, why didn't he take a second look.

"Time! Time! Zhang Xiaohu shouted.

"Damn, no!" Zhao Zixuan immediately understood what Zhang Xiaohu meant. Several people hurried back to the entrance of the cave and found that the entrance of the cave was already dark.

"Huh! It was noon when we went down just now, how could time pass so quickly! Master Wang asked.

"It's broken, what are you afraid of!" Zhang Xiaohu sighed: "Let's hurry back to the village, we haven't been down for a long time, it shouldn't have any impact!" ”

Zhao Zixuan looked around and said: "Lao Zhang, it's so dark, it's a bit of a fantasy for us to want to go out in the forest, I think we won't be bad for this night, let's rest here for one night first, and we'll go back as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Xiaohu knew that Zhao Zixuan's suggestion was reasonable, the current situation was useless to be in a hurry, it was likely that there would be other problems, there were too many strange things in the dark night in this world, there was no need to take this risk.

A few people lit a fire, the wood in the forest was very damp, the fire was not burning, and there was a very thick white smoke, which choked several people to tears, but in this wood, as long as there is fire, safety can be guaranteed.

"Why don't we rest down there, we have to come up, the air here is humid and cold, it's really uncomfortable." Master Wang slapped a mosquito on his arm, looked at the blood in the palm of his hand, and said.

"Master Wang, you don't know, when we were just below, this world may have passed for a long time." Zhang Xiaohu then recounted the actions of the previous few people in that mountain col, Master Wang, they stayed in it for seven or eight days, but eight years have passed in the outside world.

Master Wang asked, "But how do you know, it's the same down here as it is there!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu said helplessly: "Master Wang, you don't have frequent contact with the people in the village, you don't know, you came here a year ago, you stayed here for a day, and it has been a year since the outside world." I thought of it by accident just now, and I didn't know anything was wrong until I got your confirmation! ”

"Lao Zhang, I don't think this matter is very reasonable!" Zhao Zixuan questioned: "It stands to reason that I will go down first, and then you and Master Wang, then my time should be faster than yours, but why didn't this situation appear?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and replied: "What may be the problem is that the stone room, only when all people enter, the time inside will work, and this is only reasonable with this explanation." After some discussion, all three of them fell silent.
