Chapter 233: The Corpse in the Cave
Everyone's spirits were shocked, the purpose of our coming here was for the cave, this guy gave us an answer we needed, so Shen Qin then asked, "How do you know about this place, why do you dig a hole from here to find it?" ”
The man lying on the ground knew that he was the meat on someone else's board, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he said it one by one.
It turns out that these three groups of people are all well-known to us, a group of monks, a group of Taoist priests, and the guys in ordinary clothes turned out to be people from Zhang Zijian's faction.
These three groups of people got together again, and even became a cooperative relationship, there are really no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
They seem to have a kind of ability to find treasures, although they can't determine the exact location, but they can know where it is, after the treasure elixir of Situ Guang of the Immortal Gate was snatched away, these people searched everywhere, and they were regarded as mortal enemies by him, but they didn't expect these people to come here again.
If only Situ Guang was here, then he could vent his anger.
According to this guy, their shaft has been drilled for more than 30 meters, and it looks like it is about to be opened, but we rushed to intercept the beard, which is also their fate.
Shen Qin asked to understand the number of these three forces, the people who came to Tianchi to hunt for treasures this time were only people who were part of those three organizations, and the real boss did not come at all.
There were some disagreements between the two of us about the way to deal with these wounded on the ground, and I let them fend for themselves if they wanted to do so, but I didn't agree, thinking that if we were left alive, it would inevitably be dangerous after we went down to the cave, what if their accomplices came, what if these people conspired to block the entrance to the cave?
Shen Qin looked at me and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”
I was anxious to save Su Che and didn't want to pay attention to the lives of these people, so I said, "Kill them all!" ”
Everyone looked at me in surprise, no one spoke, but he stood up and gave me a step, and he said that he would leave this matter to him, and I knew you couldn't do it.
The wounded on the ground heard our conversation, some of them cried and begged for mercy, some struggled to escape, but in the end they were all killed by a single knife, at least ten of them.
After the solution was finished, I looked at the stunned people and said, "Don't be stunned, let's go down quickly, I don't know what happened to Su Che." ”
No one spoke, and everyone walked towards the hole.
The Devil jumped down first, and a moment later came up to tell us that it was indeed only a meter thick from the space below, and that it would take us a little effort to enter the cavern underground.
We didn't know how to dig in the shaft, although it was only one meter, but we also found it very tricky, and finally Shen Qin found a small amount of ** from the tent in the camp, and said that we might as well try it with this.
But it's still a problem, because we don't know how to use it.
In the end, he took the ** down to the bottom of the shaft, lit it with a small amount, and when he returned to the ground, we felt a slight vibration on the soles of our feet.
When the smoke cleared, he went down again to check and told us that the last obstacle had been cleared.
Everything went smoothly, and before dawn we went down the rope to the very bottom of the shaft and into the cavern.
Surprisingly, the temperature in the cave was so high that it was summer, so we had to take off our thick clothes.
This cave is the largest I have ever seen, just from the bottom of the shaft to the bottom of the cave is more than ten meters high, the ground and the top of the cave are full of huge stalactites, colorful and very beautiful.
But at this time, where is the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, I took a flashlight to observe the surrounding environment after I landed, and chose a direction and walked over, but Shen Qin chased after me, grabbed me and said, "Ginger tea, what's wrong with you?" ”
I'm a little baffled, and I don't think so?
Shen Qin said don't worry, we all think that something is wrong with you, you tell me, do you feel that your body is not very comfortable?
I was even more speechless, saying that I felt that everything was fine, nothing at all.
Only Wei knew what was going on, and whispered something in Shen Qin's ear, and then she turned her head to look at me and said, "Jiang Cha, if you still listen to Auntie, just listen to me, don't lose your mind because you're in a hurry." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile Where have I lost my mind, don't you feel that time is pressing, Su Che doesn't know what to do, the sooner I see him, the sooner I can rest assured.
Shen Qin said that we are all in the same mood as you, but it is useless to be anxious, we are very unfamiliar with this place, and it is easy to be dangerous to blindly look for it, do you want your friends to have an accident?
I was touched by what she said, so I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Auntie, and the actions in this cave will be up to you." ”
Only then did Shen Qin put his mind at ease, smiled at me, then looked at everyone and said, "Let's each take a few steps behind us, don't go too far, and observe this cave first." ”
After hearing this, everyone acted separately, but I still moved forward in the direction I was walking, but after only a few dozen meters, I saw the stone cave wall.
In the end, only Lin Yue and Qian Enhao walked in the direction that there was a road, but we didn't know which side was the direction leading to Chi Yanzhu.
Shen Qin had no choice but to ask for help and ask him to choose a side to take a look, so that we could determine which direction to set off next.
Wei nodded in agreement, disappeared out of thin air, and went to check the way ahead.
A few minutes later, he came back and told us that he had found a lot of animal carcasses in the direction he was going, basically rats and bats living in the cave, and there were traces of human fire barbecue, which should be the direction of Su Che and them.
Knowing that they have something to eat here, my heart is temporarily relieved, at least Su Che will not die here.
Now that the direction has been determined, of course I think that the sooner I start, the better, Shen Qin had no choice but to agree when he saw this, everyone lined up to move forward, and it was naturally a shame to walk in the front.
I followed behind Shen Qin, wishing I could move forward as fast as I could, but I walked very carefully, and my speed couldn't be faster.
Along the way, we really saw what Wei said, those animals were slaughtered as food, and the fire was still a little warm, it seemed that Su Che and they had not been away for too long.
But as we walked, we suddenly stopped, and we had to stop.
I hurried to his side and saw the reason for his stop: a corpse lying on the ground.
The costume looked like a disciple of the Cloud Gate, this person's body was already stiff, it seemed as if he had been dead for several days, and from the injuries on his body, it seemed as if he had been attacked by some fierce beast, and there were many places where the vital parts of his body had been torn apart.
If I hadn't seen the marks made by the previous person on the cave wall, I would definitely think that we had gone the other way, this person had been dead for so long, and the fire that I found just now was still hot, according to the order, how could it be that Su Che walked behind us from this side.
He explained my doubts, saying that it meant that there was nothing to eat further along, and that they must have come back to get something to eat, and then back to the front.
Everyone walked around the corpse, and I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that I would not see the same scene again.
……
……
As if we had lost the concept of time, we walked cautiously all the way, and the more we went, the more we found that the direction we chose was correct, because although it was not obvious, everyone felt that we were going underground.
The slope in this cave is not too obvious to be detected without careful inspection.
The temperature was getting higher and higher, there was a lot of water vapor in the air, and it felt like we were in a sauna and our clothes were soaked.
Luckily, everyone got some drinking water from the camp when we came down, and we didn't get thirsty.
But what about Su Che, does he have water to drink?
We found another corpse along the road, this person did not die from the attack, he had no wounds on his body, Shen Qin speculated that this person may have a heart attack, and could not stand the hot and humid environment, so he died of a seizure.
I hope there will be no more corpses, Dongfang Li overheard that Su Che only brought fifteen people, and it would take the blood of twelve people to get the Chi Yan Zhu, and if there were too many dead people, then Su Che would be killed by the Chi Yan Zhu.
I still didn't realize that I was indifferent to other people's lives, and I was most concerned about Su Che's safety.
The group walked silently in the cave where they didn't know where the end was, but suddenly they heard a roar in front of them!
Everyone stopped and stood in formation according to Shen Qin's arrangement, because the sound was getting louder and louder, and we didn't know what was running towards this side, and we couldn't help but be ready for battle.
As the roar grew louder and louder, we could already see countless red points of light in front of us, and if the guess was right, it looked like the eyes of some animal!
Everyone's heart is a little nervous, because there are a lot of things running over, and they don't know what kind of species they are, and the more unknown they are, the easier it is to cause fear to people.
Wei was at the front of the line, and he was the first to see the opposite side, only to hear him shout: "What a big mouse!" ”
Mouse? Doesn't it mean that there are no more animals down there? Otherwise, why did Su Che and the others come back to roast rat meat and eat it?
There's no time to think about it, because our flashlights are already shining on the rats.
It's still some kind of rat, the size of an adult Shiba Inu, so it's no wonder they make such a loud noise when they run.
However, these guys didn't seem to have any offensive power, and when we flashed by our flashlight, the huge rats made a detour one after another, avoiding the direct rays of the light and continuing to run.
Seeing that they didn't attack us, no one made a move, watching countless rats run past them, and the girls who had always been afraid of rats were very nervous, but no one made a sound, until the last mouse ran over.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, there were at least a few thousand of them, and if they attacked us, everyone would inevitably be injured, there were too many.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly shot from the depths of the cave, like someone chasing those rats with a flashlight, is it Su Che?
