Sagir and Professor Cheng discussed the monster corpse on the ground, Poison Eye already focusing on the top of his head.

After another five minutes or so, a vine descended from above, and a man was tied to the vine.

It's a comatose ground tiger.

Then, the leopard was subdued in the same way.

In the end, Xiao Yu jumped down from the chaotic vines above.

"The two of them were caught in the lair by this monster, and I checked and there were no scars on them. It's a coma. Xiao Yu jumped down, retracted the blade of the scythe into the long pole, and said to Poison Eye.

The poisonous eye had loosened the vines from the two of them, and then expertly examined their pulses, fundus, and tongue coatings.

"Brother Poison, what's going on with them?" Sagir leaned over and asked.

"Breathing, heartbeat is fine. There were no trauma and no reaction to poisoning. If I hadn't been sure they had an accident, I would have thought they were in a deep sleep. The poisonous eyes took a step back gloomily, looked at Xiao Yu and asked:

"What else do you see up there?"

"There's no danger up there, go check it out."

Xiao Yu said expressionlessly.

Sagir looked up at the vines crisscrossing above, only a few meters away, it was gloomy and couldn't see clearly, and he was still hesitating in his heart, next to him, Professor Cheng had already unloaded the equipment on his body and began to climb up along the vines.

"Hey, Professor Cheng, wait for me to ...... together"

Sagir quickly took off his backpack and climbed up with Professor Cheng.

The poisonous eye took a deep look at Xiao Yu, unloaded his equipment, and climbed up from the other side.

When you climb up from the ground to a height of six or seven meters along the cliffs on both sides, you can see that there is a sunken cave on it.

The cave is shallow, but striking.

Because, all the vines actually grew three meters away from the cave! I don't know why I feel like even plants are afraid of the cave!

Since there were no vines next to the cave, Professor Cheng had to climb on the rock wall, which was full of mottled potholes and could easily climb up. Sagir followed her into the cave on the cliff.

The cave is about two meters high, more than one meter wide, and more than one meter deep, and it is quite flat under your feet, but when Professor Cheng and Sagir both stand in, it is extremely crowded.

Because the light in the cave was even darker, Professor Cheng turned on the auxiliary lamp on the side of his goggles, and under the light, the two saw that the entire cave and the internal stone walls were full of strange symbols.

"It's weird. These portrayals are like a kind of writing, but who would engrave them here? Could it be the monster? Sagil asked, puzzled, looking at the carvings on the stone wall.

"It's not just strange, if it's the monster's lair, it will always leave traces of survival, right? It's a bit overly clean here. Professor Cheng took out his mobile phone and said while taking pictures of the symbols on the wall.

At this time, the poisonous eye also climbed up from the cliff on the other side. It's just that the vines above are dense, and he can tell that he has reached a parallel height by hearing the two of them talking. So, he began to turn towards this direction and climb over the vines.

The sound of Poison Eye climbing attracted Professor Cheng and Sagir to look over to the other side, and then, the two of them suddenly froze.

The cliff is here, and the distance between the two ends is more than ten meters. When the two of them climbed up, their attention was all on the cave on the cliff wall, and when they stood between the caves and looked at the opposite side, the vines a few meters away were full of dried corpses!

Looking from this place, at the same level, there is no end in sight, and I can't count how many dried corpses are hanging upside down among the vines. And the poisonous eye climbed over among the dry corpses.

……

When he got to the ground, Sagil felt that he couldn't stand up straight, and sat down on the ground.

"I just took a cursory examination of the corpses, and they must have died in a few years, and in a further position, looking at the clothes, it should have been at least a hundred years ago—and the bodies in the distance had clearly waxed on the surface of their skin." Professor Cheng held a voice recorder, which was equivalent to making a note while talking.

"All the deceased, their expressions are serene." Poison Eye said with a frown.

"Eh, Brother Poison, I can't imagine that you can still care about hospice care at this time." Sagil said admiringly.

"Care Ball!" Poison Eye spat at the mouth and said, "I mean, those people have no scars on their bodies, their expressions are serene, and their body postures are calm, like they're—"

He glanced at the unconscious tiger and the leopard and said, "It's like falling asleep, never waking up, and finally starving to death in your sleep." ”

……

Eventually, Sagir felt like he couldn't hold it anymore. He looked at Professor Cheng and said, "Otherwise, let's go back first." Wait until I find another group of people, and then there will be a lot of strength......"

"It's okay, you can go back first. I'm going to have to go in and check it out this time. Professor Cheng Wanlu took off her gloves and tied up her somewhat messy hair, which had been scratched by vines, and curled it neatly behind her. This time she looked at Sagir very seriously and said:

"Xiao Sa, people have fear in the face of things they don't understand, this is a normal reaction, and there is no shame. You don't have to be reckless, after all, if you keep going, you don't know what danger you will encounter. This search for this ancient tomb is my advocacy, you have done a lot for me, why don't you go back from here. ”

"What a joke!" Sagiell suddenly blushed and shouted, "I'm worried about your safety!" Yours! Not myself! ”

"Young Master Sa, I also suggest that you go back first. So far, we have encountered dangers that I have never heard of before. Poison Eye hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's so weird in this Heavenly Ladder Canyon, and when you reach the end, you don't know what you will encounter." I'm going out right now anyway - don't worry, listen to me. I've got to send the tiger and the leopard out, I can't let them fend for themselves here, can they? After sending it out, let's organize another group of people to come, at most, it will cost a little more money. What is money compared to human life? Do you say yes or no? ”

"There's no problem with money, at most I don't have enough money, so I'm going to play tricks on the old man. But I'm sure I can't let Professor Cheng in by himself. In this way, Brother Poison, you send them out, gather a group of people in the shortest possible time, bring more equipment, and come in to find us. ”

Poison Eye thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys be careful, I'll send them out of the canyon, call them outside and turn back immediately." ”

So, Sagir, Professor Cheng, and Xiaoyu continued to move forward, while Poison Eye stayed, trying to send the Earth Tiger and Leopard out.

As for the corpse of the monster, it can only be put there first, and wait for the poisonous eye to bring someone to pull it out.

……

Twenty "steps", each five meters high, is only a hundred meters in height. About 30 floors, it takes 10 seconds to take a medium-speed elevator, and 15 minutes to climb the stairs. But here, all three of them were exhausted from overcoming obstacles along the way, plus rock climbing, and the accidents encountered along the way.

Professor Cheng sat on the edge of the "steps" on the top floor, looking back at the canyon where he came, and under the shade of vines, a pale cyan breath spread in the canyon.

It was already noon, but there was still a ray of sky overhead, and not much light was falling.

After separating from the poisonous eye, there were no accidents. The trio made it here without any problems. Here the canyon narrowed, the cliffs took on a black color, and even the vines no longer grew. And when the ladder canyon arrived here, it obviously turned eastward, and the cliffs on both sides were even steeper, almost straight up and down.

After resting for more than ten minutes, the three of them continued to explore deeper into the canyon.

The road beneath your feet continues to ascend at a slow angle, and there is no wind, no vegetation, and no signs of animals in this part of the canyon. The strange thing is that the whole canyon is very clean, not even much dust, as if it has been cleaned.

After traveling about five hundred meters, a door suddenly appeared in front of him.

5

Yes, it was very abrupt, but in such a naturally formed canyon, a door suddenly appeared.

The canyon here is about 15 meters wide, and this gate is directly across the canyon.

On either side are two doorposts two meters wide, towering upwards, and when you look up, you can see that there is almost no end in sight of the goalposts. It's likely that the gatepost is as tall as the canyon.

Inside the doorpost is a nearly one-meter jamb.

Then, the door frame is fitted with two stone doors that are split on.

The stone gate looked like it was five meters wide and four stories high. The thickness of the door is also almost a meter. Judging from the material of this stone door, a door must weigh dozens of tons, and it is not at all possible that human power can open it.

Fortunately, one of the doors opened a crack.

Speaking of gaps, it is relative to the volume of this single door that is five meters wide and more than ten meters wide. When they walked up, they found that this gap was more than a meter wide, and if it was squeezed, it was enough for two people to pass side by side.

It's just that inside this stone gate, there is darkness.

The trio checked their gear again, and put a special miner's hat on their heads—a hat that combines miner's lighting, head protection, and their own radio headset to talk to each other within 500 meters.

Xiao Yu explored the path at the front, Professor Cheng followed closely, and Sagir broke behind.

The three of them walked through the huge stone door.

As soon as they entered, the three of them were startled.

Inside the stone gate, there is a straight road.

The road is about 10 meters wide, more than 10 meters high, and 200 meters long.

On both sides of the road, every ten meters on the walls, there are sculptures of a pair of monsters. The sculpture is very delicate and looks somewhat familiar.

It was under the three "steps" that the gargoyles who attacked them - or rather, the "Blue Yaksha" in the mouth of Poison Eye.

These "blue yakshas" were exactly the same as the monsters they had seen, and some of them had wings spread out and fluttered; Some are huddled in a ball, like a posture before a sneak attack; Some of them hung with their heads down, and their eyes were closed as if they were sleeping; Some of them are facing the wall, and all you can see is the shrunken fleshy wings on its back.

The three of them shone with a miner's lamp and walked cautiously forward, and in the depths of the corridor in front of them, there were two coughs!

"Ahem~Ahem~"
