Seeing that the persuasion did not move, Zhang Qiang did not persuade any further, shook his head and muttered something, walked to the tent to sleep by himself, and then discussed the course of action, and did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Hu woke us up, distributed all the supplies, and then the group carried their equipment and began to march towards the cave.

After entering the cave, I deliberately walked to the edge of the waterhole yesterday to take a look, the waterhole had returned to calm, still as it was last night, shrouded in bottomless darkness, I really wondered what was hidden under the water, but unfortunately there was no diving equipment, and I could not find out.

Chen Hu patted me on the shoulder, sighed and said Let's go, there was such a big disturbance last night, that monster may have slipped away a long time ago, don't delay the serious matter, I followed him to continue to sneak in the depths of the cave.

It is still led by the old horse, walking in front to explore the environment, the old horse is now like a different person, taciturn, and does not like to talk, I know that he is sad for his little nephew, but there is no better way to do it now.

Avoiding the waterhole and walking for less than two minutes, we came to the first intersection, Chen Hu made a deep mark on it with a dagger, and then instructed the old horse to continue to lead the way, at first this cave was a little narrow, only able to allow one person to barely move forward, continue to walk more than ten meters inside, and see the open again, it seems more and more spacious.

I suddenly thought of something, and quickly caught up with the old horse walking in front, and asked in a low voice, "Have you brought people in before, and have you ever seen a monster under a waterhole?" ”

When we rushed into the cave last night to save people, the old horse had been staying outside, so he didn't know what happened in the cave, and he hadn't seen the appearance of the monster, and when he heard me ask, he quickly shook his head and whispered no, when he first went down to this pit, it didn't seem that there was no pond of water, and even the entrance to the cave was not as wide as it is now, I don't know what the reason was, I always felt that the geology here had changed a lot.

I was stunned for a moment, such a large-scale karst cave, to say the least, has to go through tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, it is impossible to form in just a few days, the old horse was in the cave for the first time half a month ago, how long has it been, the terrain has changed?

I hurriedly said, "You've been living in this mountain for decades, and you haven't found this hole before?" ”

The old horse still shook his head and said no, when there was no fog before, this was a flat valley, and there was water, but there was no such a deep pond of water, and there was no cave, this cave seemed to be formed after the fog, and I don't know why.

Hearing this, I was even more puzzled, and unconsciously walked towards An Zanji and whispered these words, while An Zanji had a solemn face and whispered a guess, "Ye, do you say that this cave is possible because of the miasma?" After all, the old horse had lived in the mountains for decades, and if this cave had always existed, how could he have not found it. ”

I was taken aback by what he said, and quickly said, "It's impossible, I've never heard of such a thing, and fog will also cause changes in the structure of the mountain?" ”

Anzanji whispered, "Didn't you go into another hole last time?" And then stuck in a hole and barely able to get out? So far, you haven't figured out how the markings carved into the stone walls disappeared, could it be because the caves are constantly moving? ”

I was suddenly frightened, I didn't have time to say it, I suddenly felt that the old horse in front of me had quickened his pace, so I had to hold back the suspicion in my heart, and quickly followed up, walked dozens of meters, the smell in the cave was a little better, and then I saw a lot of fist-sized black things on the ground, and quickly looked at it with the light above my head, and found that it was those hideous-looking bats, all of them were stiff, and they were no longer breathing.

Apparently these bats were smoked to death by yesterday's smoke, we did not stay long, and continued to walk along the road, and the bat corpses on the ground gradually increased, and they were swept away, at least there were one hundred and eighty of them, and it seemed that this was their old nest.

When I arrived at the next fork in the road, I found that the ground was densely covered with a layer of reptiles, and some were rolling and turning, everyone raised their flashlights, and shone them with searchlights, and found that they were some gecko-like creatures, with heads like toads, large and prominent eyes, short and thick necks, rough skin, dense granular scales all over the body, disgusting to the extreme, and there were few left alive.

We stepped on it with our feet, and immediately made a strange "squeak" sound under the soles of our feet, one after another, and the hearts of the people who listened to it seemed to be a mess, and even the hair strands had to stand up, Zhang Qiang always felt that he was scratching all over his body, so he gently poked me with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Brother, why do these creatures look so strange, I don't seem to have seen them, have you seen them?" ”

I don't know what to say, most of them I've seen, but it's not reality, but what I saw in the "Spirit Gu Burial Sutra" that my grandfather left me, according to the scriptures, these gecko-like creatures should be the common ancestors of geckos and snakes, I forgot what the specific name was, and it was impossible to look up the book again at this juncture.

Anzanji also frowned, saying that the further he went, the more these strange-shaped creatures appeared, and each creature was a species that had long been extinct on the earth, and could only be seen from some ancient texts.

The large army continued to move forward, walking for I don't know how long, Chen Hu's watch was wet, and it was impossible to compare the time, but according to my judgment, we walked in the cave for at least nearly an hour, and the road in front of us was still endless, except for the darker and darker environment, like a big net shrouded in everyone's hearts.

We walked quietly on the corpses of all kinds of poisonous insects, the crushing sound of the soles of shoes and hard-shelled insects made people's hearts very unhappy, walking in this deep and dim environment, it was really not a pleasant thing to walk, everyone's breathing became tight, very unstable, I began to hear someone gasping sound.

This cave is not short of oxygen, and we are also slow, these soldiers who are doing physical exercise every day naturally do not feel tired, these wheezing sounds are caused by the pressure of the heart, in fact, not only them, even I feel uncomfortable, every time I walk in such a mysterious environment, I will make the mood very uncomfortable.

Walked forward for a while, and suddenly a yin qi surged from the human bone bracelet, which was Xiao Ni's breath, and her voice came from the haze, saying Brother, this road is not right, we have just walked.

Xiao Ni's words made me feel very depressed, impossible, lost again?

Chen Hu noticed my expression and immediately stopped and asked me what was wrong? I was a little dazed, pointed to the front, and said that everyone think about it seriously, have we walked this road? When I said this, several soldiers cast not too calm eyes like me, and Chen Hu's expression also changed significantly, and he hurriedly shouted forward,

"Old horse, stop quickly, how did you lead the way, we have obviously walked this road."
