118. Underground desert

There are a total of twenty-seven reliefs, some of the surface has been pitted, but you can still see the charm and hidden meaning, the relief is surrounded by gravel, the wall is fluffy, it is enough to see that the stone carving is not carved by the craftsman on the stone wall, but inlaid in the wall.

Zhao Xiwen said: "This wall is very mysterious, if it accidentally causes too much vibration, it is estimated that the wall will not be able to support the weight in it, and it will collapse, and we will only be buried alive at that time." ”

"Maybe there's some kind of mechanism hidden." I looked ahead, and at this time we had followed the diagonal plank road ladder to the top of a horizontal plank road, one side of the plank road was still an abyss, and at this time there was already a drop of 100 meters from the ground we had just descended.

I saw that the walls around the plank road were covered with large and small potholes, and when I walked into one of them, I found that there seemed to be something hidden inside, and quickly shined a flashlight into it, but I saw a hideous and terrifying face looking at me.

I was startled, and my back instantly became stoned, after all, nothing happened along the way, and this sudden surprise really surprised and delighted me.

But after a closer look, I found that this was a dried corpse, and the body of the dried corpse was covered with various strips of cloth, and I don't know what the strips of cloth looked like, because now it looks gray and mottled, and even some of the strips of cloth have rotted, and the miraculous thing is that the dried corpse is still very intact.

At the same time, there were a lot of dried corpses in other small pits, I felt strange, so I observed, I saw that these dried corpses actually belonged to different eras, the dried corpses outside were very fresh, and there was not much soil on the body, and the more you went inside, the more the dried corpses decayed, and even the innermost ones had no dried corpses, only a pile of gray-black mounds, I knew that they were the products left after the white bones withered.

Kutouta couldn't bear it, and said to Amitabha, and I observed for a while and said, "Is this the tomb of the guardian?" If you look at the span of this era, some of the corpses can be seen as recent, and others are very old, and they are arranged in order. ”

Zhao Xiwen looked at the nearest cave and said: "Maybe yes, you see that this stone pit was dug out recently, and the knife marks on it are still there, which means that this stone pit has been booked." ”

"I see, this pit must have been kept for himself by the Guardian in the dungeon." I put together the clues I had encountered before and said.

"What you said is incredible, but it is also reasonable, the guardian holds the nostalgia for his ancestors, and would rather be lonely for generations than easily break the oath of his ancestors." Zhao Xiwen sighed.

I shook my head and sighed lightly: "What's the pain of this, turning people into machines, passing them down from generation to generation just to guard a dead man." ”

"The things of our ancestors can't be understood by our younger generations, but there may be more things that are not known." Zhao Xiwen walked forward, and at the same time, she called me over, as if she had found something.

And I went inside and found that at the end of this battle, there was a stone cave, a passage that went directly down the cliff wall, and at this time the three of us went deeper, but found that it was a very open place, and the surrounding area was similar to a semicircle, and it was like an upside-down rice bowl, but it was empty, and there was no way to continue going down.

I wandered around for a long time, and found that it was just a closed stone chamber, and there was no way out, and then Kutouta said, "This fork in our road seems to be a dead end, and the only way to get out is to go back." ”

"I feel that things are not so simple, you see that these buildings and plank roads outside have taken a lot of effort to build, and the people who build them can give them so neatness that they don't need to build, and waste so much energy to make a dead end, unless that person has a funny brain!" I touched the wall and said, and found that it was still a wall of sand and gravel, and when I dug into it with my fingers, there were still holes.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of fragmentation around us, the sound was dense, and I couldn't hear what it was, but the flashlight shone in all directions, and suddenly I saw that on the sandy ground under my feet, there were small dirt bags, I felt strange, what was that dirt bag, but when I leaned down, suddenly a thumb-sized insect appeared in front of the small dirt bag, I looked carefully, and found that the insect's mouth was very sharp, It looks like a big pincer.

At the same time, the body of the insect is like a beetle, which is not so large, but because of the pincers in the front section, it occupies one-third of the length of the body.

Something was wrong, Kutoutuo immediately approached, the three of us stood together, and everywhere these black insects actually flew up, and then they crossed vertically and horizontally, and combined together, forming a dense human figure, the human figure walked towards us, I felt that the comer was not good, so I stabbed the nine-section sword.

However, this figure was composed of subordinates all over the body, and I saw the sword stab past, only to break up the human figure, and then turned into a large pool of insects approaching us, and one of them climbed up my arm, and actually bit down so hard that a bloody wound quickly appeared on my arm.

I said to the two of them, "This worm is using us as food!" ”

"Let's get out of the way...... Not good! Zhao Xiwen was just about to speak, suddenly her body slumped down a few steps, I also saw that on the ground of this stone room, there was a whirlpool in the center of these sandy places, and then a large amount of quicksand flowed into the whirlpool, the quicksand was very fast, and it actually sucked our bodies, and we stepped on it to the outside, but we couldn't take it, and even our feet couldn't move.

Zhao Xiwen gritted her teeth, her pretty face was cold, and she immediately blew a breath of ice blue breath around, and then the insects around her were frozen into ice, but at the same time, the sand under our feet still did not subside, and Kutoutuo was closest to the central whirlpool, I wanted to go over and pull him, but what I didn't expect was that Kutoutuo couldn't struggle at all, after all, his hands were broken, and he could basically only rely on his legs.

Just a moment later, he was swallowed up by the yellow sand, I secretly said that it was not good, and shouted at Zhao Xiwen: "Sister Wen, you go out first......"

"I can't get out, the speed of quicksand is too fast!" Before Zhao Xiwen finished speaking, she was also sucked down by the quicksand, and then I was pulled down, I only felt that it was dark in front of me, and it was quite difficult to breathe, so I could only cover my mouth with my hands in the process of sinking, trying to squeeze out a little fresh air for myself.

I don't know how long this suffocating feeling passed, and then the body was light, and it fell, and finally found the flashlight, but looking around, the surrounding area is spacious, this dark underground, there is a sea of yellow sand, as if it is an underground desert, endless, Rao is my high-multiple flashlight, and it can't be illuminated!

I spat out the yellow sand in my mouth, and began to cough violently, coughing tears flowing, I shouted the names of Zhao Xiwen and Kutoutuo, and suddenly a hand grabbed my ankle without warning.

I subconsciously kicked it down, but unexpectedly it was Zhao Xiwen, Zhao Xiwen closed her eyes, as if thinking that I would step on her face, I quickly withdrew my foot, and said with a smile: "Hug, sorry, I thought it was some evil ghost scratching my ankle......"

Zhao Xiwen was angry and angry, snorted, stretched out her hand, and I also pulled her up, the quicksand above continued to flow down, I said, "What about Kutoutuo? ”

Suddenly, a little sand erupted from the sand beside me, and I immediately ran over and dug the ground with both hands, only to find that Kutouda was buried deep under the sand, and if he hadn't spit out the sand, I really wouldn't have noticed that he was beside me, so I immediately pulled him up.

Kutouta spat out the sand in his mouth and said, "I really thought I was going to be buried alive here...... Wait, what is this place? ”
