Five Realms of Reincarnation Chapter 49 The Geocentric Pillar
"Wood, what are these spikes?" Shen Muhan saw that the madman and the prodigal son Jin were fine, so he came over and asked.
"Sister Han, are you scared stupid, this is obviously a trap." The madman glanced at Shen Muhan.
"Of course I know it's a trap, but why is it designed like this?" Shen Muhan also felt that what he had just asked was a bit of a problem, so he hurriedly explained.
The madman looked at Shen Muhan and then at the spikes not far away, and finally looked at me.
"I see what you mean." I thought for a moment and said, "What the girl means is that if it's just a trap, it doesn't need to be so complicated at all, just make a spike, and there's no need to shrink it, which shows that the trap itself doesn't want to kill people." ”
"As you said, those triangular spikes hidden inside are just a hole, if not for murder, then for what?" The madman apparently still thinks that this trap is prepared for murder.
"I can't figure it out either." I shook my head habitually: "This trap itself is very contradictory, the shrinking spikes are not meant to kill, but the triangular spikes obviously don't want to make the people who come in feel better, and I don't know what the people who designed the trap think." ”
"Oops, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, it's a waste of brain cells. It's better to find a way to get out quickly, it's not a way for this guy's face to breathe all the time. The madman glanced at the prodigal son Jin as he spoke, after some tossing just now, although the blood on the prodigal son's face did not stop, but it was much less, I don't know if it was the wound pain, or the soot and sand, the whole person looked a lot more energetic.
"Huh? What about the bastard surnamed Wang? The madman waited for a while before he suddenly remembered Wang Chuanlai, looked around, and didn't see anyone, so he remembered to ask.
"I don't know, when I came down, I was slapped on the ground and the whole person was covered, and then you came down, the hole above was covered, and it was pitch black below, and I didn't notice where he went." I replied.
"This bastard, got us in but disappeared by himself, he didn't plan to let us out at all!" The madman has been at odds with Wang Chuan since he was on the shore, and now he sees that Wang Chuan has mysteriously disappeared again, and his whole popularity has reached the extreme, and he scolds Wang Chuan with his name.
I took the flashlight and shone it in front of me, and I didn't see anything, but there was a lot of space inside, like a passage, and I couldn't see what was inside.
"Okay, it's useless to scold him, save some effort, find a way to get out." I interrupted the madman's curse: "I'll go ahead, girl, you follow me, madman, you take the prodigal son behind the Golden Palace." ”
The madman didn't speak, stood up and walked straight to the prodigal son Jin, pulled him up from the ground, put his arm around his neck, walked to Shen Muhan and stopped. I instructed Shen Muhan again, and took the lead in walking inside with a flashlight.
Walking inside, the surroundings are the same as they looked from the outside, the passage is made of stone on all sides, the surface is very smooth, and it is obvious that it has been built by hand. Now there are four of us, and among them there are two and a half wounded, one each for the madman and the prodigal son, and half for me. When I came down, I didn't take any precautions, and now my nose hurts when I touch it, and I don't know when the tears will flow uncontrollably.
I wiped my tears in front of me, looked at my feet, and had to pay attention to the stone walls on both sides at all times, my eyes were a little busy, and the speed of progress was naturally not fast, but fortunately, although I was scared, I was safe and sound all the way.
I don't have any timekeeping equipment on my body, and it's dark here, so I can't see the situation outside, so I can only estimate the time by intuition. After walking for about half an hour, the scene in front of me finally became different.
Walking out of the passage, there was a huge cave in front of me, and there were some large and small stalactites hanging on the roof of the cave.
"It's ...... Stalactite? Shen Muhan looked at the stalagmites on the top of the cave and asked.
"It's a little weird, but it looks right." I looked at the stalactites on it and whispered in reply. It's not that I'm afraid of disturbing anything, but it's mainly that I'm a little incredulous.
Stalactites are formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate due to the continuous fall of carbonated water, and generally only appear in karst landforms. In China, karst landforms only appear in the southwest region, and it is indeed difficult to form stalactites in the relatively dry and rainless climate of Changbai.
"You two don't study those stones yet, this guy is getting heavier and heavier, and he's going to faint after a while, so let's hurry forward." The madman kept urging from behind, and I turned to look at the prodigal son gold on the madman's shoulder, and my face was pale and startled, as if the soot had no effect. Although there are no big arteries and veins in the wound, the piercing must have hurt a lot of capillaries, and no one can hold it up if it bleeds all the time.
Seeing that the state of the prodigal son Jin was getting worse and worse, Shen Muhan and I stopped studying the stalactites on the top of the cave and continued to move forward. The only way we came was the entrance to the cave where we came down, and now it was still tightly sealed, and if we wanted to get out, there was no choice but to keep going.
Further inside, the ground became potholes, and both sides became primitive cave walls, faintly wafting a musty smell, and there was no trace of people passing by in the place where they walked, and it seemed that this place should not have been visited for a long time.
The more you go inside, the longer the stalactites on the top, and the stalagmites slowly appear on the ground, and in some places the stalactites and stalagmites are connected together and become one, hanging from the top to the ground, separating the road in front of you into pieces, and it is a little difficult to walk. There are some strange-shaped stone pillars protruding from the cave walls on both sides, and they are illuminated by flashlights, which feel a little ghostly.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm from behind, because I had no psychological defense, I was suddenly scared, and before I could breathe, Shen Muhan's voice came from behind.
"Wood, there's something weird here."
I don't know if it's weird, but I almost scared you to death anyway. I muttered to myself, turned around and asked, "What's the matter, girl." ”
"Have you noticed that we've been walking the same places lately?"
"Isn't it, Sister Han, aren't they all the same in this hole?" The madman saw that Shenmuha and I stopped, and also took this opportunity to put down the prodigal son Jin, let him lean on a stalagmite, and rest by himself.
"That's not right! Look at this pillar. Shen Muhan said as he pointed to a stone pillar protruding from the cave wall beside him.
"What's wrong with this stone pillar? Long eyes? The madman looked at it and didn't see why.
"No, we just passed by this stone pillar." Shen Muhan's hand pointing at the stone pillar did not move, and his eyes looked at the stone pillar and said affirmatively.
"Girl, are you thinking too much, these stone pillars in this place have to be thousands, and many of them are almost the same, could it be that you are mistaken?" I looked at it for a while and didn't find anything special, thinking that maybe Shen Muhan had been in the closed environment for too long, and I was a little scared in my heart, and I began to scare myself.
"You don't know my memory, you can't be mistaken." As soon as Shen Muhan said her memory, the thought I had just now disappeared in an instant. I still trust Shen Muhan's memory very much, and I can see from the spelling code on it that so many words on the wall of the undersea room can be remembered by touching it with my hands, and it must be no problem to look at these stone pillars.
After thinking about it, I stepped forward and looked at it carefully for a while, but I still couldn't see anything, so I had to ask Shen Muhan. Shen Muhan leaned closer, pointed to a place on the stone pillar and said, "Look at this, there is obviously a cross-shaped protrusion here, which is not found on other stone pillars." ”
I looked in the direction pointed by Shen Muhan, only to find that there was indeed a cross shape on the stone pillar, and it was very standard, it didn't look like it was naturally formed, it was more like it was artificially carved, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became.
"Could it be that we're in an infinite loop again?" I asked Shen Muhan tentatively, and she shook her head before remembering that she knew less about these things than me, and could only imagine the situation she was facing as much as possible.
We also encountered this situation on the stone steps at the bottom of the sea before, and at that time, I was able to break the game by mistake, but the current situation is not quite the same as the situation at the bottom of the sea, and I don't know what the problem is for a while.
Just when I was scratching my head, a faint voice came from behind, as if it was being blown by the wind from a long distance, and the wind could be faintly heard.
"Who?" I jerked around and took a flashlight behind me. The flashlight shone far away, and there was not a trace of anyone in sight.
At the moment when I was stunned, there was another voice, this time facing the direction from which the voice came, I felt much closer, and it was clearer, and I could vaguely hear that the voice was talking about "stone pillar".
Just as I was waiting for the voice to appear again, the madman suddenly said to the prodigal son King: "I said that you have a big hole in your mouth, and you are still exposed to the wind, and you can't speak clearly, so don't follow the foolish coaxing." ”
When I heard the madman's words, I realized that the voice just now came from the prodigal son's blonde, because the wound on his face leaked air, so it sounded mixed with the sound of the wind. I let out a long sigh of relief in my heart and made a false alarm. I don't know if I'm claustrophobic, but after staying in this environment for a long time, I obviously feel that I am also starting to become suspicious.
Despite the madman's obstruction, the prodigal son King was still talking vigorously, and it seemed that there was something very important. I walked over and put my ear in front of him to hear what he was saying.
"The Pillar."
