51. The Devil's Cave (1)

Aking from its nightmare, Atractylodes sat up from its bed and looked around, but found no red warning lights, much less the clown-faced disc monsters that terrified it. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, slowly walked out of the inner cabin, and did not knock on Xu Banxia's door, but came to the cab and used the camera to check the external situation.

There was still a hint of coolness in the cabin where someone was moving just now, and Cangshu opened the monitoring equipment and looked outside. Suddenly, Cangshu saw an extremely ugly face appear in the monitoring equipment and startled him, just when Cangshu was about to put his hand on the alarm, he found that the extremely ugly face was one of the murals he had seen yesterday before going to bed!

After laughing awkwardly twice, Atractylodes continued to look at the murals that I don't know who painted them when. It's a pity that Cangshu doesn't have the quality of a professional to interpret these murals, and he can barely see that these are painting some war scenes, two armies facing each other or something.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Banxia also came to the cab. Cangshu looked at Xu Banxia, who was yawning, and asked, "Have you rested?" Grab a bite to eat and let's go! ”

"Hah! Yes! Okay, wait for me to pack my things, and then let's go and find a way! After Xu Banxia finished speaking, he went back to his room to pack his things. Atractylodes found that the mural had been read all, so he took out two cans of canned food from his backpack and ate them.

After a while, Xu Banxia finished cleaning up, and after eating, he came to the outside of the boat with Cangshu, and after collecting the boat, the flashlight in the hands of the two released a condensed and bright beam of light to photograph the intersection that Cangzhu had explored before. On the way to the two together, Cangshu also told Xu Banxia about the strange murals on the surrounding cave walls, which surprised her, and ran over to take a look before continuing to move forward.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the passage and looked inside, they found that the road to the depths was made of eleven steps built by humans! Cangshu and Xu Banxia walked down the steps step by step, and the stalactites on the ceiling would drip one or two drops of water from time to time.

"Tick!" The sound of water dripping echoed in the ears of Cangzhu and Xu Banxia, and the two of them looked around along the stairs, which were all in a pure natural state except for the stairs under their feet. Both of them looked around and wondered when the stairs had been made, and what the people who had made them had done here.

The two of them reached the last floor of the stairs in the midst of this thought, and when they looked towards the last floor, they found a pitch black gap half a man wide across it, and the gap was bottomless. If Cangshu and Xu Banxia didn't pay attention to the gap hidden in the darkness, they would probably stumble and fall into it. It's just that the two of them kept a hundred and twenty percent caution in this dark cave environment.

When the two jumped through the gap, the two felt that they were swept by something similar to a wave, and the two hurriedly checked their bodies but did not find any abnormalities, but the No. 1 Atractylodes in the inner world of Atractylodes felt that they were being spied on half, while the No. 2 Atractylodes who manipulated the body did not feel this way. The two of them discussed their inner world for a while and then did not come up with a result, so they had to continue to move forward.

Descending the stairs and jumping through the gap, the two found an angular door in front of them that looked silver-gray in the light, and this door was firmly embedded in an incomparably solid stone wall. This door was now ajar, and when Cangshu and Xu Banxia saw this, they all took out their weapons to deal with possible threats.

"Squeak! Cluck! "I don't know how many years the door has been plucked by the thunder knife of Atractylodes, making a piercing sound, after opening the door, Atractylodes first used a flashlight to illuminate the internal environment, and then dodged in at a very fast speed to confirm the safety behind the door, and then greeted Xu Banxia and let Xu Banxia enter it.

After both entered, they illuminated the surroundings with flashlights and found that this place was no different from the cave where the two had been before, except that there was an apparently artificially excavated path on the ground and a "01" sign marked on the surrounding stone walls. The huge red paint "01" had turned dark brown by this time, and many places had been eroded by the water seeping from the stone walls and the ventilation.

Continuing to walk inside, the two of them saw huge digital signs written on the walls every other distance, and these signs were all eroded without exception, and the most eroded one Cangshu and Xu Banxia could only deduce that the number of this logo should be "04".

Just as the two of them were curiously talking about this distinctive sign, Cangzhu, who had better hearing, heard the sound of running water not far away. And when Cangshu followed the sound to find the source, they couldn't help but feel surprised, because the two saw a small river shining under the flashlight.

Through the light of the flashlight, in addition to the reflected light, Cangzhu and Xu Banxia could clearly see the things at the bottom of the small river, and the incomparably clear river water even reminded Cangshu of the strange lake in Laine. Although both of them were a little excited to see the water, caution was indispensable! So the two turned on a function in the multi-function watch, "toxic hazard detection".

When the detection light on the multi-function watch emitted a pale green light towards the small river, Cangzhu and Xu Banxia swallowed their saliva in unison, the two had not drunk pure natural water for a long time. Whether it was in the Leyer Shelter, in the White Light Man's giant whale warehouse, or on the ship of the two, they could only drink bottled water from the old world that had been preserved or droplets of air from the outside world that had been collected with some equipment.

As for the incomparably clear river like the one in front of you, Atractylodes has never seen it anywhere else except in the cave town. Although Xu Banxia had seen a few rivers when he was collecting supplies before, these rivers were either bubbling with strange bubbles and strange colors, or the rivers were covered with all kinds of corpses that could not be drunk at all.

"Drop! The detection is complete and the analysis is in progress......"

"Analysis complete...... Confirmed as potable water, no harmful substances, no pollution sources! ”

After Cangshu and Xu Banxia heard the news, the corners of their mouths turned upward. The two of them checked the surrounding air again, and fired two levitation probes into the depths to confirm safety. Take off the goggles and hood on your head, and then lie down by the river and drink at the clean water!

This water was not only extremely clear, but also had a faint sweetness that made Cangzhu and Xu Banxia ecstatic. In addition to drinking to their own heart's content, the two of them took out the emergency water equipment in their clothes and filled it up. Atractylodes even considered releasing the boat and filling it with water storage equipment, but unfortunately it was too small for a boat.

And Cangshu and Xu Banxia made a loud noise while drinking water and irrigating water, waking up something deeper. When these things moved, they were detected by the two probes that were emitted by the atractylodes and reported to the two in time.

After receiving the signal that something was moving towards the position of the two from the depths of this place, Cangshu and Xu Banxia hurriedly put on their hoods, multi-functional goggles and masks, leaving no gaps, and then took out the weapons in their hands and looked into the depths.

The two of them waited by the river for a long time and did not find the thing reported by the probe, and when Cangshu and Xu Banxia even suspected that the probe given to the two by the white light man was actually a fake, the sharp-eyed Xu Banxia found that there was something in the dark cave not far away that was motionless with the help of the object outline scanning of the goggles.

"Atractylodes! Look in your direction at five o'clock! Xu Banxia reminded loudly, and Cangshu looked in the direction of five o'clock when he heard this. Finally saw a strange thing lying on its stomach in the darkness. After reminding each other to be careful, the two first shone a flashlight, only to find that it was just a rock.

Then, after crossing the creek, the two men walked towards the rock with the most cautious and gentle steps with their blades in hand. After walking two steps, Xu Banxia saw a flower in front of him, and suddenly found that the rock was gone, replaced by a huge family photo, the little girl on it was Xu Banxia, and next to the little girl were two adults who couldn't see their faces clearly because of the light. It's just that Xu Banxia understood that this was his family photo as soon as he saw this painting.

And Xu Banxia felt that as long as he relied on the past, he could know his past, and even his future. And Cangshu was also in front of him, and he was stunned to find that his parents were actually standing in this place, beckoning to him, as if signaling himself to come close and hug them!

Just as Xu Banxia wanted to move forward to see all the details on the photo, the continuous astrolabe hanging on her body suddenly flashed a silver-white starlight and merged into her body. Suddenly, Xu Banxia felt that his eyes lit up, and he saw clearly what photos were in front of him, only a disgusting monster with a rotten face and a gray pustule covered in gray pus, like a super huge salamander lying there, and the two huge eyes were attracting the two of them to approach with a palpitating light.

And the big mouth of this rotten salamander has quietly opened at this time, and its huge red tongue is ready to attack, just wait for Cangshu to take another step forward to swallow him into its belly! It's a pity that its efforts were completely in vain, because Xu Banxia, who came to his senses, only pulled it with his hand, and pulled the atractylodes out of the salamander's attack range!

The moment Cangshu was pulled away by Xu Banxia, he also regained his consciousness. And when Cangshu saw clearly that what was in front of him was pretending to be his parents, and his face was hateful, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart no matter what. Cangshu angrily swung the Thunder Knife in his hand, and the thunder and lightning on the blade instantly smashed this hateful-looking strange salamander into charcoal.

And the salamander's cry before dying made Cangshu and Xu Banxia feel a very threatening aura. In an instant, countless pairs of eyes emitting a strange light lit up in the entire cave, and the dark green eyes made Cangshu and Xu Banxia feel an irrepressible coolness running from the top of their heads to the root of their tails.

"Squeak! Squeak! "Although this salamander monster has become an abomination, their voices have not changed, but the voice that used to symbolize the arrival of spring and the rainy season has become a death notice for Cangshu and Xu Banxia.

"Poof, poof" These monsters poured out of the cave in front of Cangshu and Xu Banxia frantically, and the number of these salamanders gathered over time even made Cangshu and Xu Banxia feel desperate......
