Chapter Eighty-Three: Demons and Monsters

After just a few steps, Gao Qin suddenly stopped, leaned over to look at the ground carefully, and said, "There are blood stains here!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, only to see a faint blood stain on the gray stone brick ground, the color was dark, and the color of the ground was very close, and it was not easy to find it if you didn't look carefully.

Nanyang remembered something, turned around and walked to the rope, carefully examined the ground, and sure enough, there were blood stains, as if someone had fallen from a high place and splashed. Everyone was very nervous when they first escaped, and they all paid attention to the surrounding environment, and they didn't notice the ground under their feet, and the light was dim, and the blood stains on the gray stone bricks were very difficult to distinguish, so no one noticed it.

The crowd looked at the blood on the ground and thought: Someone has already been here. At the same time, they thought that it seemed that after the group of people who had entered the ancient ruins earlier were attacked by the statue mechanism of the Hall of Eternal Life, the surviving people had escaped by jumping into the golden coffin. The bloodstains in the Hall of Eternal Life can confirm this inference, and there are no corpses here, indicating that those people have left here.

Nanyang looked at the blood stains on the ground, and walked in the direction of the door hole intermittently, it seemed that the survivors were also walking along that road.

Everyone thought, "What happened to those people?" Looking at their clothes, they were all decades old, and they must have died after being trapped in the ancient ruins for so many years. Everyone cautiously walked to the doorway, illuminated it with a flashlight, and saw a simple passage extending into the depths, and they didn't know where it leads.

The walls of the passage are made of gray stone bricks, which appear simple and unadorned, and at intervals, the left and right walls are inlaid with a piece of jade that emits a faint light, like the light of fireflies. The passage was dimly lit and silent.

Ah Hu glared at the front, holding a submachine gun, and everyone walked into the passage gently. The passage was filled with the sound of everyone's footsteps and breathing, and everyone walked along the passage without encountering any obstacles or ambushes. Nanyang and the others felt that this passage was very long, a little sloping, as if it had been spiraling down. There was no decoration in the passage, which made everyone feel cold and unforgiving, and everyone walked with bated breath, the light was dim, and there were always patches of gray stone bricks all around, as if they had been stopped in place. Everyone is wondering: where will this passage lead?

The crowd walked along the passage for a long time, and finally there was an exit. When they walked out of the passage, they saw a spacious cavern in front of them.

Everyone looked at the cave in front of them, which was very dark and wide, and the stone walls were densely covered with edges and corners, which seemed to be formed naturally, and it seemed that they were deliberately processed into this state. Nanyang looked at the ground under his feet, which was paved with neat black stone slabs, but it was very flat.

There is a faint light in the cave, and the strange rocks around it are craggy, uneven, and very hideous. Directly ahead, there stood a tall black city gatehouse, and the black shadow was lonely and evil. Everyone cautiously walked to the city gate tower, looked up, this city gate tower is made of black stones of different sizes, the stones are not neat, the corners are rough and messy, this city gate tower is black and pressing, the fog is boundless, exuding a yin and evil atmosphere.

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly felt as if they had arrived at the entrance of hell. His Royal Highness of Immortality actually has such a strange cave, and such a strange city gate tower has been built in the cave, why is it?

This ancient ruins have buried an ancient city underground, and this mysterious cave has been built under the ancient city, what secrets are buried in the cave?

The cave was as silent as death, dim, and everyone felt an inexplicable coldness since they got out of the Hall of Eternal Life, and they all shuddered a little, as if they were surrounded by yin qi. Everyone suddenly arrived in this very strange place of ancient desolation from the palace with a grand scale and beautiful architecture, and they all felt very curious and nervous.

Gao Qin and Xu Ming took a flashlight and looked at the surrounding situation, where the light was shining, the boulders on the cave wall were sharp and angular, all like sharp blades, very sinister.

Nanyang took out the instrument and wanted to reconnoiter the situation in the cave, but the instrument seemed to be out of order, and no data could be measured.

Nanyang looked serious and said to Zhou De: "Master Zhou, what kind of place do you see here?" ”

Zhou De looked at the motionless compass pointer and said, "I don't know." ”

Nanyang nodded, tightened the equipment behind his back, held the gun in his hand, and walked into the city gate tower, and everyone could only go forward at this time. When everyone entered the city gate, they all added 12 points of caution to be ready to deal with sudden situations. In the darkness, they walked along the bumpy stone path inside the gatehouse, flanked on either side by tall walls that seemed to overturn and swallow them up at any moment.

There was silence all around, everyone walked forward cautiously, Xu Ming saw sweat on his forehead, he saw the sinister, sharp and sharp stones, he always felt that it was a hidden mechanism, he trembled a little and said: "Let's not go any further, how can there be such a ghost place, I think it's better to stop first." ”

Gao Qin kept looking down for bloodstains, and after walking through the passage, the bloodstains on the ground were almost gone, and she seemed to have lost her direction, and she said, "Will those people come here too?" ”

Zhou De said: "There is only one route here, and they will definitely go here." He continued: "I see that the age of this black city gate tower is much older than the age of the cave, and perhaps it was first dug and built and then the even older city gate tower was moved." ”

Gao Qin blinked his eyes wide and said, "Oh? Could it be that this gatehouse has any special function? Or what's the point? ”

Zhou De shook his head and didn't answer, everyone walked about fifty meters on the stone road, Ah Hu in front suddenly stopped, he shook his flashlight, and in the dark, there were a few people standing in front of him.

When everyone saw those figures, they were all surprised, thinking how could there be people here?

Ah Hu stared, holding a submachine gun, aiming at those people, and those people stood there, motionless, very weird.

Zhou De and Nanyang walked to the front of the team and carefully looked at the people, but the distance was too far, and the surroundings were dark, so they couldn't see the appearance of those people, and they couldn't figure out what they were doing, only the outline. Nanyang waved his hand, signaling everyone to stay where they were and watch, and he and Zhou De crept closer to those figures. Nanyang and Zhou De gradually got closer, and after careful inspection, they were a little relieved that those figures turned out to be several statues.

Seeing that Nanyang waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem, everyone walked over. Xu Ming took a flashlight, walked closer and took a look, and immediately his hair stood on end: these statues turned out to be ghosts, with blood-red eyes, and a bloody mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's fangs, which were very hideous. Xu Ming thought: How can there be such a thing in this deep underground?

Everyone was already frightened by the armor statue in the Hall of Eternal Life, and their hearts were palpitating, seeing that the statue of a ghost was placed in this black and oppressive city gate, and they were all nervous at the thought of the statue that would move on it.

The statues were lifelike, flesh and blood, as if they were real, but there was an almost transparent amber-like substance on the surface, which encased them, and there was a heavy circular stone pier underneath.

Xu Ming said: "...... This...... Will these statues also move? ”

Nanyang looked at the statues and said, "No, you see that the joints of these statues are all dead, just a whole piece, they are just statues." ”

Zhou De's face was heavy, as if he was thinking about something, and he said very nervously: "In ancient times, there were clever and mysterious mechanical tools such as guide cars, wooden oxen and flowing horses, all of which are inexplicable, which proves that there were some exquisite mechanism designs in ancient times. Therefore, it is understandable that the statues that attacked us in the Hall of Eternal Life may be the ancient mechanism map that the builders of the ancient ruins found from somewhere, or the help of a wise person to design, as long as it is a mechanism, there are rules to follow, and it is not too scary. However, if we encounter demons and monsters, it will not be easy. ”

Xu Ming was taken aback and said nervously, "Are there really ghosts here?" Since experiencing a series of thrilling dangers in the ancient ruins, Xu Yang no longer satirizes Master Zhou's ghost theory.

When everyone arrived at this kind of place, it was beyond their original imagination, and it was still a scientific expedition in the ancient city, but this cave was gloomy, and it always made people feel that it was a place that they should not come to.

Zhou De frowned tightly and continued to walk forward, everyone passed through these statues, and some runes gradually appeared on the walls on both sides, all of which were carved, and everyone couldn't understand these runes, so they had to continue to walk forward.

Xu Ming walked and walked, still very worried about the statue behind him, looking back from time to time, when he walked out more than ten meters away, he always felt that there was a needle in the back, looking back again, he couldn't help but scream, everyone looked back, those ghost statues turned quietly at some point, their eyes showed a fierce light, staring at everyone viciously.
