Chapter 257: A Deadly Liar
Today, it was rare for his conscience to find that Ye Liancheng did not go on a killing spree, and let go of Aoki, who had been leading the way for him before.
"Let's go, keep up, we're running out of time. Ye Liancheng spoke, and then continued to move forward with the remaining ten or so people.
The surrounding air became moist, and Ye Liancheng was a little puzzled, is there still a water source in this cave?
But at this time, there is no way to manage so much, and if it continues to grind, the mountain will collapse.
The crowd kept walking, and finally came to the way out that Aoki had shown them.
It was a secret passage that had been dug out of the mountain, so narrow that only one person could pass through it.
When he came here, Ye Liancheng had already sensed that something was wrong, how could the so-called military advisor live in such a place, he knew that he was deceived by Aoki.
This kind of lie that is all the truth at the beginning and the last one is indeed a lie is the deadliest, Ye Liancheng looked at the surrounding mountain wall that was about to collapse, and after taking a deep breath, he decided to move towards this secret passage.
"Come here. Ye Liancheng casually ordered someone and let him come to him.
took out a fire fold from the space ring, Ye Liancheng stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand, and seemed to understand what was going to happen next, and the middle-aged man's face leaked a panicked look.
"Daxian, I have the old and the young..."Before he finished begging for mercy, he was glared back by Ye Liancheng with his eyes.
The middle-aged man seemed to accept his fate, took the fire fold, and took the lead in entering the dark secret passage.
There is a person in front of him to explore the way, and the danger should be much smaller, Ye Liancheng waved his hand, and entered the secret passage with the rest of the people.
After entering the secret passage, the air became obviously humid, and even the appearance of his clothes had small droplets, which made Ye Liancheng even more convinced of the conjecture that there was underground water flowing under the Batu Cave.
This secret passage was obviously mined by hand, and the surrounding walls were very smooth, which made Ye Liancheng, who was holding the fire fold, always pay attention to these details.
The middle-aged man in front of him walked very slowly, and even though he was holding the fire fold, he was instinctively afraid of this dark environment.
Ye Liancheng didn't urge the middle-aged man, after all, he couldn't feel the vibration of the mountain in the secret passage, and he didn't have to worry about being buried by the collapsed mountain for the time being.
After walking dozens of steps, the middle-aged man seemed to have made a discovery, and shouted, attracting the attention of everyone behind him.
Due to the narrow passage, Ye Liancheng couldn't pass through the man in front of him to check the situation ahead, so he could only stretch out his hand and signal everyone to stop, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man's voice trembled, and he illuminated the pile of bones at his feet with a fire fold, pointed at the bones in horror and said, "Great Immortal, there are bones here!"
I can't see the bones now, Ye Liancheng's eyes froze, "Step over first, remember not to touch these bones." ”
After the man took a big step forward, Ye Liancheng finally saw the pile of bones passing in the secret passage.
It looks like it should be a human skeleton, but the time has passed, and the bones have been weathered so badly that it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
For the sake of safety, Ye Liancheng did not touch this pile of bones, but it seems that the person who came here to explore died here, and there are no obvious injuries on the bones, not from external injuries.
Is there really any danger in this secret passage?" Ye Liancheng frowned, this damn Aoki had already known that he would be killed with a single sword.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Liancheng, who knew that there was no way back, ordered: "Cheer up, don't touch these bones, let's move on." ”
There was a whisper behind him, and he began to doubt Ye Liancheng's decision.
At this time, Ye Liancheng was upset, how could he have spare time to care about these people who were saved by himself, and he pushed the man with the fire fold before, and Ye Liancheng began to walk forward again.
Seeing that Ye Liancheng began to move forward again, the light of the fire fold gradually faded, and the people behind him panicked, stopped thinking about it, and kept up with Ye Liancheng's pace.
I don't know how long this secret passage is, Ye Liancheng and his party have been walking in it for nearly a stick of incense, not to mention coming to the end, even the surrounding environment has not changed much.
Ye Liancheng suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone, his face was not good-looking now, and he said behind him, "Count the number of people." ”
The person behind him began to count after understanding, "One... Three... Six... Eight..."After eight, there was no sound, and the original dozen or so people actually disappeared out of thin air, which made everyone feel like they were strangled by their throats, and the horror began to spread.
The reason why Ye Liancheng stopped everyone and started counting the number of people was because the sound of footsteps in his ears would decrease by one person after a while, and he didn't care at first, thinking that someone was tired of walking and sitting and resting, until this situation happened one after another and did not get better, Ye Liancheng was different.
"Daxian, how should this be?" asked the old man in the previous team pretending to be bold, he was about to die, but he was not so afraid of death.
Faced with this situation, Ye Liancheng was also a little confused, because he did not perceive the smell of blood, and ruled out the possibility that someone was plotting.
"Don't panic, everyone walks tightly, and the person behind him holds the corner of the previous person's clothes to prevent accidents. Ye Liancheng thought of the best way out of the way.
Everyone did the same, and of course no one was stupid enough to get involved in the corners of the city's clothes.
The man who had just reported that the number was 'seven' didn't feel the man behind him holding the corner of his clothes for a long time, and he became a little impatient, how could this man not understand the words?
"Keep going. Ye Liancheng frowned, the situation he was most worried about had happened, and the frequency of the disappearance of this kind of person was getting faster and faster.
Helplessly, everyone had to continue to move forward, Ye Liancheng was also a little panicked now, the fire in his hand was about to burn out, and there would be no objects that could illuminate at that time, and what happened in the dark would not be something he could control.
At this time, everyone felt uncomfortable, what happened to the missing person? The answer was that he was dead, but this situation of not even knowing what he was facing completely aroused people's fear of the unknown...
Outside the secret passage, the group of people who chose to go to the entrance of the Batu Cave by themselves finally arrived at the entrance of the cave after a long journey.
"Guys work hard, we'll be out right away. ”
As soon as the words fell, the two little demons guarding the door found this group of fleeing humans.
