Chapter 90: Contra Breaks the Barrier
However, there are several holes in the "roof" made of these tight stone slabs that are wider than a person's shoulders, which are supposed to be passages for those who accidentally trigger the trap to fall.
Everyone followed Bai Yunfei out of the relatively spacious space at the big crack of the earthquake, climbed up along the narrow gaps, and finally reached the height where Bai Yunfei was, Bai Yunfei took everyone to start to break away from the place next to the stone wall and began to climb horizontally towards the inside of the bronze component.
Climbing to the entrance of the cave where people could fall, everyone lay on the bronze components, looked up, and found that the cave was full of large stones stuck in the hole, which should be caused by the fall during the earthquake.
Everyone stabbed, pried, and knocked hard with iron drills, etc., but they couldn't shake it at all, and everyone was lying on those bronze components, and they couldn't exert too much strength upwards at all, and they tossed for an hour, and they didn't pry the big stones blocked in the hole at all.
In desperation, Bai Yunfei suggested that everyone should continue to crawl forward.
Crawling on the huge bronze rusty winch, although everyone's weight almost made the whole machine run, but fortunately, there were eight powerful climbing ropes tied to it, and although the whole winch was trembling and making a "rumble, click" sound, it was only shaking like a tremor, and it was not really running.
This allowed the people who climbed into it to drag their backpacks and have time to quickly climb through each bite, and they were lucky enough to pick up a small life without being ground into a pulp.
Crawling in the huge bronze winch with a "rattle" sound made everyone in the "Eight Immortals" expedition tremble, cold sweat flowed, and the psychological shadow of fear made everyone's hands numb and weak, but after a trembling and desperate crawl, they were finally not twisted into meat by this huge bronze winch, and they drilled out of the winch one after another, and reached the other side of the space, another section of the naturally formed seismic crack.
What is surprising and surprising is that the earthquake cracks here not only did not become narrower as previously imagined, but widened a lot, and it should be the stones, mud and tree trunks and branches that had rotted or dried up that fell at the time of the earthquake, which were filled in the cracks from time to time, and were blocked by these objects stuck in the cracks, almost forming an undulating "suspension bridge in the cracks", which brought a lot of convenience to everyone's passage.
Everyone climbed out of the huge bronze winch, and before entering the crack formed by the earthquake, Bai Yunfei suggested that everyone still lie on those bronze components, take a rest, and adjust their physical strength, because the road ahead is slim, continue to walk, the risk is unknown, when they can get out of danger, and if they want to rest easily, they can only be said to be unknown.
Bai Yunfei took out the only bag of compressed biscuits in his backpack and wanted to distribute them to everyone, and several other people also searched for a long time, and found some compressed biscuits, canned vacuum beef and the like from the backpack, and everyone ate them.
"You say, why did those sheep-headed people throw these tattered equipment and clothes by the river after they caught us, instead of destroying them or picking out useful ones to take them?" Han Debang chewed the meat in his mouth and asked as he ate
。
"I think the main reason is that they hate explosives, gasoline cans and the like, because they are the strongest species cultivated by King Wei when he was 'scientific research', so the perception of smell and other things is naturally much higher than that of people, and it is precisely because of this, the more sensitive they are, the more difficult it is to endure these things, they can't stand these, so they naturally abandon them quickly."
Bai Yunfei explained to him.
"There's another reason, hehe, that's very understandable."
Bai Yunfei said: "Actually, these half-human, half-sheep monsters look ugly, scary, and have a strange temperament, but in fact, they are very conceited, their eyes are above the top, they think that everything is better than us humans, and they despise or hate us in their hearts, so after catching us, they don't think that we can escape, so they don't take these things to heart at all." Otherwise, if they could have predicted that we would have managed to escape, they would have destroyed all of these materials when they caught us, leaving us no way out. ”
"Huh! Bai family baby, you said that Di is too right, these scourges with sheep heads are more hateful than those mutant monsters. Old Ghost Su agreed with Bai Yunfei's opinion.
"However, in that dark valley of black fog, don't we also suspect that those unknown tall monsters we encounter are sheep-headed people? But why weren't they afraid of the terrifying black mist made up of Gu worms? Wang Ziming asked suspiciously, frowning.
"I think, that's because they have been bred to be very powerful, and they are not afraid of these things at all, it's just that in the era at that time, Wei Xiaoliang couldn't get in touch with modern gunpowder and fuel oil and other chemical things, so they didn't have antibodies in these aspects in their genes? I guess so, that's why they're afraid of these things, not those Gu worms. ”
"Makes sense." Wang Ziming nodded.
"Fortunately, although these monsters have extremely powerful hearing, smell, and perception, they still have eyes and need light, so in that dark and dark fog valley, they are not very convenient to move, otherwise, it is estimated that we will not be spared." Bai Yunfei analyzed again.
After everyone rested for a while, Bai Yunfei took the lead in holding the torch and carefully burrowed into the wide crack.
Everyone followed behind Bai Yunfei, equally cautious, although there were falling stones and so on under their feet, which were convenient to step on, but who could guarantee that they would not fall off suddenly? Then people will fall at the same time, which is very dangerous.
Since a section of the climbing rope that everyone had cut off before was used to tie up the huge bronze winch, everyone found a large section of the unbroken climbing rope, and everyone was like a grasshopper on a rope, holding the rope tightly before and after, forming a dragon formation before and after, and slowly groping forward.
After Niu Gang was broken, Lu Wuyang walked in the middle of the team, so that naturally there were still three torches illuminating, and the action could still be guaranteed.
Everyone was cautious and tentatively moving forward slowly, and finally survived the painful process of nearly 100 meters and arrived at another trap space.
Although this section is wider than the previous one, the crack does not show any danger,
But everyone's nerves are extremely tight, and the degree of mental fatigue can be imagined.
When everyone saw the newly arrived trap space in front of them, the feeling of mental exhaustion was immediately swept away, and they were completely surprised by the scene in front of them.
I saw that the new space where the crack was drilled out was completely all kinds of round stones, large and small, and at first glance it was artificially repaired into round balls, and at the crack at the end of the crack they came out, it was estimated that those small stone balls had fallen down the crack into the endless abyss, so those that did not fall down were blocked at the mouth of the crack.
Not only is the mouth of the crack full of stone balls, but almost the entire space is filled with stone balls.
Above the small space left was a huge fragmented passageway, which was supposed to lead to the ground, that is, the ground or "green belt" of the huge Bagua Array.
But this huge passageway, without knocking and trying like the hole above the bronze winch just now, was already a dead end, for there was a huge irregular boulder stuck there, and the gap between it and the passage wall was too narrow for people to pass through, and it was full of gravel and dirt.
The most bizarre thing is that between the boulder stuck at the mouth of the passage and the wall of the passage, there is also a skeleton.
It was a human skeleton, tall and skeletal, with a downward-facing skull, sandwiched between the boulder and the walls of the passage.
"What's going on? Why did this old sheep monster let the stone squeeze to death? Niu Gang asked stunned.
"Who knows, maybe they fell into the trap either." Bai Yunfei replied flatly.
The reason why Niu Gang said that this skeleton is a sheep monster is because this tall skeleton is exactly the same as a human in other parts, only on the skull, there is a pair of horns, and its skull is not the same as a human skull, it is a slender triangular skull, from which it seems that this is a sheep-headed person who was killed alive.
At this time, the "Eight Immortals" expedition team has climbed up from the cracks when they came, along the large and small stone ball piles, the stone balls are round, and for many years in this dark, damp underground, the natural surface is covered with shallow moss of rot, full of damp, slippery and greasy, can not leave enough to hold hands, everyone pushes and pulls each other, it takes a lot of effort to climb up one by one.
"Alas, what a convincing!" Bai Yunfei smiled helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Li Yulan asked with concern.
"Hehe, this seismic crack happened to be produced in the original surface layer, that is, the bottom and side wall of these traps, because the things designed by the ancestors such as the 'cover' on the top are not integrated with these surface layers, so as to avoid being broken and cracked, at most there is some damage in the violent vibration, even if there is a fracture, but at least it is not connected with the fracture of the surface layer, so it seems that we can only continue to move forward from the ground and find a way out, the degree and state of damage above, And these fractures are not a case at all. ”
Bai Yunfei felt a sense of powerlessness, after all, no one knew if there was a dead end ahead.
"But the crack in front is almost sealed, can you still get through?" Lu Wuyang lay on the pile of large and small stone balls
, observing the small hole-like crack that only remained in front of him.
"It's okay, it shouldn't be a problem, we can only be porters for a while." Bai Yunfei also looked at it for a while, and felt that it could still be solved.
Then he organized everyone to start to clean these large and small stone balls, in fact, it is almost impossible to clean them, these stone balls, seemingly the smallest, also have a weight of 100 catties, the largest, have to have thousands of catties, how can they be moved?
Therefore, it is nothing more than trying to break open the nearby stone balls that block the cracks, as long as everyone can get into them, they are almost successful.
But it's easy to think about, but it's much more difficult to do, but fortunately, everyone works together, specifically "bullying the soft and afraid of the hard", bullying the small and afraid of the earth, but those small stone balls move, everyone works together, and uses the strength to eat milk, and finally clears a few small stone balls, and can basically get into the people.
Bai Yunfei raised a torch at the mouth of the moved crack and looked inside, and found that the crack was not as straight as the first two sections, but more tortuous, and not only began to narrow, but also fell apart, it seemed that the damage caused by the earthquake was more serious.
It seems that the previous paragraph is even more dangerous!
But there is no turning back from the bow, and since you have come here, you can only rush forward.
Looking at the blurred silhouette in the darkness ahead, the gloomy and strange aura is like a breeze blowing in the ears, which makes people feel timid.
Thinking of having to fight against unknown dangers again, Han Debang gasped and cursed: "My grandma, this is simply a Contra underground breakthrough!" ”
