Chapter 179: The Abyss of Hell
In fact, this "level" Fang Wuhan didn't plan to take the lead, although he said that he had been here, but he also glided over the surface of the Styx River with the help of the wings of Qingfeng, and he didn't know if these boxes could be used, although it was the second time he came here, it was indeed the first time he "crossed the river" like this.
"Son, go back, let's see if these boxes can carry people." One uncle said to Fang Wuhan, and the second jumped on the wooden box, this uncle used the "toad" style jumping method and pounced directly on the wooden box, and the wooden box gradually stabilized after a few times on the water.
After they jumped safely onto the wooden box, the wooden box floated forward because of the impact, and although it looked crooked, it did not seem to mean to "capsize".
"Slow down, this box isn't very stable." An uncle helped the next person to step on the box.
A young man who was still on the shore kicked a box in front of him, and there was a muffled grinding sound as if there was a heavy object in the box.
"No wonder these boxes have such a deep draft, it turns out that there are things inside." The man said, trying to put one foot on the box, which was still steady, and then he stepped on the other.
As time went on, more and more people jumped on the wooden boxes, and the overall progress went smoothly, not a single person touched the river, some of them used the wooden boxes as boats, and moved forward against the walls, while others jumped between the wooden boxes, and they also lit torches on the walls along the road.
"Come up, kid! There are fewer and fewer chests left! An uncle shouted Fang Wuhan on the box, and Fang Wuhan unhurriedly tied his shoelaces at the end.
"Okay, you go first, just be careful not to touch the river, the water is very dangerous!" Fang Wuhan shouted, moving his muscles and bones, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with his skills, it was not too easy to cross this river.
The wooden boxes on the surface of the river slowly floated forward, and there were fewer and fewer boxes left behind, and some of the boxes were already decaying, which meant that it would be more and more difficult for him to cross the river.
"I see the shore! This river is not long! Everyone, work hard! An uncle at the front of the crowd shouted.
Finally, they lit all the torches on the walls on both sides of the riverbank, and the top of the dark river became brighter, and then they realized that this dark river was not long, at most a hundred meters, but when they first came, they could not see the end because of the bad light.
Soon, only Fang Wuhan himself was left on the shore, and the first group of people had successfully reached the small room on the other side of the Styx, and there were still four or five people working the river.
Fang Wuhan jumped lightly and landed on the wooden box closest to him, he touched the ground with his toes first, so that even if the wooden box was unstable, he could adjust the center of gravity again, and finally, he landed steadily on the first wooden box, and the wooden box barely shaken.
The wooden box slowly floated to the side wall under the impact of his jump, and he also chose to hold on to the wall to make the box forward, because it was really dangerous to jump forward between the wooden boxes.
Along the way, Wu Han held on to the wall and looked at the abstract murals on the wall, but his speed was very fast, and these murals didn't seem to be continuous stories, and he didn't see a few along the way, and soon reached the middle of the River Styx.
There were more and more people coming ashore in front, and the wooden boxes they used were piled up on the other side of the river, and if you wanted to go ashore, you had to step on those boxes......
"My amulet!" The young man exclaimed, subconsciously picking it up.
"Don't pick it up!" The people on the shore were dumbfounded, but it was too late, his hand was already in the water.
"Quick, boy! Hurry up, hurry up! The people on the shore all sweated for Fang Wuhan, and after the young man fished out his amulet from the water, he jumped directly onto the shore, and now only Fang Wuhan himself was left on the river, after the young man went ashore, a biting yin wind blew from behind the crowd, instantly swept the entire river, and the torches on the two walls of the Styx River were blown out almost at the same time, and Fang Wuhan was instantly hidden in the darkness.
The people on the shore hugged each other tightly, and in the darkness they heard the river in front of them churning, the sound of which was like a tsunami, and what frightened them most was the roar of a dragon from the river in the noise, which made them scatter like a demonic wrath.
"Hurry! We save Him! An uncle suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and he ran to the edge of the River Styx in the face of the huge waves, waving his flashlight at the churning River Styx, "Child! Fast! ”
The waves on the dark river were turbulent, and even huge waves several meters high were set off, and after those torches were extinguished, they never saw Xiao Han's figure again.
"We ...... Kill him...... "An old man knelt on the ground, and the water in the dark river had overflowed and had reached their feet.
Time passed minute by minute, and from time to time a huge wave in the dark river slapped on them, they had never seen such cold water in their lives, and this river water seemed to be able to suck people's souls.
There was no order in the crowd, and they were in a terrible mess, with cries for help, water, and roars mixed with the roar of dragons, turning the room into hell.
In a panic, a strong hand grabbed the uncle's ankle, and the uncle's first reaction was startled, but when his flashlight shone down, he found that it was the child codenamed "Xiaohan".
"Come on, kid! Come on! The uncle hurriedly dropped the flashlight and pulled up the soaked Fang Wuhan.
"I'll go ......" Fang Wuhan breathed a sigh of relief, stood in place and shivered, he knew that the river was not clean, so he swam over with bated breath along the way, the monster in the river really scared him half to death, fortunately, he swam fast, but he heard the sound of the thing swimming quickly under him, and even almost sucked it down a few times by the undercurrent brought by the thing's swimming......
"Kid quick! Wring the water out! An uncle came over, helped Fang Wuhan twist his clothes, and muttered in his mouth, "This child is blessed with a great life, he looks like a talent, this disaster will not die, after we get the baby, God bless this child to have no worries about food and clothing in the next life......"
"Everyone is here, let's go!" A young man said in alarm.
In fact, this so-called "shore" is not just the same room as when they came, but this room is connected to the underground river on one side, and a stone gate on the other, and the stone gate is still dark inside, and when they arrive at the stone gate, they find that there is a big hole in the wall on the left side of the stone gate, and the hole extends into the wall, like a tunnel.
Once again, the crowd was caught in an argument, some of them asked to go through the tunnel, some asked to go through the stone gate, they argued, so they went their own way, and two young men and a man entered the tunnel.
Fang Wuhan followed behind the large army, he only remembered now, the last time he came, he also went to the tunnel to take a look, he remembered that it was a dead end, and at the end of the tunnel was a big pit full of insects!
"Hey, you two, come back! Let's unify our opinions and walk through the stone gate together! Fang Wuhan shouted into the tunnel, but it was not the voice of the servant who responded to him, but a heart-rending scream and a rush of footsteps.
A few seconds later, a young man and a man ran out in a panic, their faces were like white ash, and even a layer of cold sweat hung on their foreheads, "There is a big hole in the hole...... It's full of bugs, that guy...... Dead ......"
This sentence exploded in the crowd like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the leading uncle immediately turned on the flashlight and walked into the tunnel.
A few seconds later, the uncle walked out, and his reaction was the same as the previous two, his face was pale, and cold sweat hung on his forehead, as if he had seen a ghost, "Let's go, it's hopeless, some of those bugs are bigger than people, and they've eaten them all." ”
After such a commotion, their morale became sluggish, Fang Wuhan followed them into the stone gate, this time they seemed to have overcome their fear of the stone gate, or like last time, they walked out of a wall and reached the next room.
The structure of this room is about the same as the previous one, the same three walls, and the walls are also carved with unknown symbols and languages, but this time they are not in front of them, but an abyss with many stone pillars.
Fang Wuhan pretended to be the first time he came, leaned in front of him, stretched out his head to look at the bottom of the abyss, although this action was pretended, he still subconsciously shuddered, because the abyss was real, and those stone pillars were also real.
"Oh my God...... It's simply not going to pass! An old man looked at the stone pillars in front of him that were only as thick as his wrist and said.
The pillars were of varying lengths, but they all came up from the abyss below, and there was a white mist beneath the abyss, like clouds, and no one knew how deep it was.
A man lit a torch and threw it into the abyss, but the torch was very weak because it was stained with water, and after a few seconds it disappeared into the white mist under the abyss.
"How deep is that...... Why haven't I heard the sound of landing until now......" Fang Wuhan said with a frightened face.
"It's over...... How did you get to such a place...... I can't go back even if there are no insects down there and I fall to death......" An uncle said, covering his face and crying bitterly, "I have old and young people in my family, I haven't told them about this, I want to go home after I get two treasures and let them live a good life, it's my greed for money......"
"Don't say that, we have all passed through such a difficult place, although we have also lost one person, but we will definitely be able to reach the Emperor's Mausoleum!" An uncle puffed up and said, "Besides, you see, this is less than ten meters from the other side, and it is not much simpler than that river." ”
Their initial confidence in winning the treasure had long since vanished, and their psychological defenses were close to crumbling when they fell into the tunnel worm pit just now, and now, in the face of the abyss less than ten meters long in front of them, they had completely lost their fighting spirit.
And according to Fang Wuhan's observation, if they want to reach the opposite side of the abyss, they can only step on these stone pillars, because these stone pillars are very thin, and they don't know how long they are, and they don't know how long they have been standing here, maybe they have already become brittle, and the slightest carelessness may break the stone pillars.
The uncle cried heartbreakingly on the side, and also successfully provoked the emotions of other people, and many people also cried, they were still a group of "undefeated divisions" with a clear division of labor ten minutes ago, and now, they have become a group of rabble......
Fang Wuhan slapped his legs helplessly, but accidentally touched the egg-sized hourglass, he was shocked, and took out the hourglass where people couldn't see, only to find that half of the time had passed unconsciously......
