XVII Cycle

Being able to build the tomb under the water is an amazing thing in itself, and what is even more incredible is the tightness of the stone door, and the tomb passage is not only not cold but even a little dry.

Yang Xiaoqi said that the temperature in the burial chamber was strange, and that there should be a passage to the crater nearby. He calmed down, and when he saw that I was seriously injured, he asked if I could hold on. I shook my head and said out of the way, let him lead the way.

To be honest, my injuries are not optimistic. The flesh of the calf and stomach was almost turned out, and it looked terrifying, but fortunately, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and although it was painful to move, it was still able to endure it.

Before leaving, Yang Xiaoqi gave me an injection of antibiotics and used gauze to tie the wound on my leg tightly to stop the bleeding. With that done, the two of us started walking deeper into the graveyard.

I have no idea the length of the entire cemetery. If you look at the appearance of the underground palace drawn by Yang Xiaoqi on the ground, you can't even see a hair here, that is to say, the pigsty painted by Yang Xiaoqi is not the appearance of a mausoleum at all. Thinking of this, I feel awkward in my heart, two fools wandering around in the ancient tomb, aren't they looking for death.

But is there any other way, because this is our only chance, otherwise we will have to go back to the ground and find the turbulence of time and space along the entire Yinyang Island.

It gets darker and darker as I walk around, and the flashlight shines on the stone wall on one side, and there is still a little reflection, at least there is a reference. But as we walked, it wasn't like that, the tomb road gradually widened, and the stone walls on both sides of the end were invisible. Yang Xiaoqi reminded us to be clever and pay attention to check if there are stone gates or stone statues around.

After another ten minutes, Yang Xiaoqi, who was walking in the front, stopped, and I was about to step forward when I saw him make a gesture to stop me.

Walking to his side, I followed his flashlight, and saw a few figures standing faintly in the darkness in front of him, because the light was too dim, and those figures were far away from us, even the light of the wolf's eyes was only a rough idea.

"What's that?" I settled down and asked Yang Xiaoqi.

He shook his head and couldn't tell, but it didn't seem to be a living thing, it should be a stone statue or something here. 、

He drew his dagger, gave me a look, and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”。

I stared at the figures that appeared in front of me and was about to nod, when I noticed that one of them swayed. Hurriedly asked Yang Xiaoqi to wait.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiaoqi asked me puzzled.

I looked around and said, "Something is wrong here." A shadow in that place just now moved. I don't know if I'm wrong, but let's be careful. ”。

Yang Xiaoqi took a breath when he heard me say this, thought about it, and finally said firmly: "I'll go over and take a look, don't move here." ”。

After he finished speaking, he held the dagger in his hand, and walked in that direction without holding the flashlight.

I wanted to go over and help, but I felt that I couldn't help but listen to him, and I didn't know what to do for a while, so I could only be there to illuminate him.

Yang Xiaoqi bent his waist and leaned towards the figures step by step, his posture was very special, he pressed his waist very low, half circled his legs, and walked forward with great difficulty. I know that this posture is one of the fastest reactions in the human body, in order to respond quickly to emergencies.

He walked carefully, which made me nervous as well. I thought to myself, if this kid hangs up, how should I face this terrifying tomb by myself?

Thinking of this, I was scared, and slowly followed his footsteps, of course, within a safe distance.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed behind Yang Xiaoqi, this time I saw it clearly, and there was absolutely no possibility of mistake. The black shadow was silent, without making any sound, and although Yang Xiaoqi was cautious, he still didn't notice the strangeness behind him.

"Be careful," I almost blurted out. The voice was very loud, and Yang Xiaoqi turned his head sharply when he heard it.

Because I was the one with the flashlight, Yang Xiaoqi only saw a dazzling flashlight and couldn't see me. He squinted, and I quickly moved the flashlight to a different location.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiaoqi's words came.

"There's something behind you," I reminded softly.

As I spoke, I came to his side and saw him looking around warily, and there was nothing but darkness. "What's that? Could you be mistaken? He asked me suspiciously.

I'm not sure this time, it was almost a blink of an eye just now, and it may not be that I was wrong.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he patted me on the shoulder and told me to continue to illuminate.

This time there was no other strangeness. Soon we were in front of the first few shadows, and when we saw the things clearly, we both sighed at the same time.

There were some broken stone figurines, and there were quite a few of them, hundreds of them. What we see is only a small part.

I don't know why, but the ground in the area where the stone figurines are located turned out to be earthy. The stone figurines were badly shattered, with severed limbs and broken arms everywhere, some of them shattered as if they had been trampled on by something huge. I also saw the head of the stone statue on the ground, and it seemed that there was a layer buried under the ground.

"What kind of place is this? Why are there these stone statues? I lowered my voice and asked Yang Xiaoqi.

He shook his head and said he didn't know, told me to pay careful attention to my surroundings, and then took the lead and walked inside.

I followed him all the time, and the range of the flashlight was greatly reduced here. Everywhere we looked, there were broken stone statues of those kinds, which were a great obstacle to our speed.

The stone figurines are about the size of a human body, which gives people a very uncomfortable feeling. I even suspect that these things are actually staring at us all the time.

Thinking of this time, I couldn't help but feel a little hairy, and I endured the pain and followed Yang Xiaoqi in front of me, as if he was afraid that he would disappear if he bypassed a figurine.

The area was much larger than we had imagined, and half an hour later, we were still wandering among the stone figurines, as if there was no end to it.

As I walked, Yang Xiaoqi in front of me stopped suddenly, and I almost bumped into him unsteadily.

"There's an evil spirit here." He said to me.

"Why do you say that?" I was scared, and I didn't know what this guy was thinking again.

"Look at that stone statue, I paid special attention to it just now, it has appeared three times since we set out. At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect to meet it again here. He pointed to a stone figurine in front of him.

I followed his gaze and saw that it was a very characteristic stone statue. There is nothing strange about the size and shape of the stone statue, the most memorable thing is the face.

It turned out to be a smiley face. Yes, a smiling face. The crooked eyes and the curved mouth speak for themselves, and most importantly, the eyes looked at me as if they were living beings. It seems that the stone statue really has life.

I didn't dare to look at it anymore, so I asked Yang Xiaoqi, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”。

Yang Xiaoqi shook his head and said absolutely not, this stone statue has definitely appeared.

His use of two is definitely enough to illustrate his certainty.

"Let's take a look in a different direction," he decided, almost immediately.

I didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but what he said was irrefutable, so I had to follow him and change the way around.

This time, Yang Xiaoqi walked much faster than just now, and I could barely keep up. But after ten minutes, he stopped abruptly again.

The stone statue appeared in front of us, looking at us with a strange smile in the dark. It seems to be waiting for us on purpose.

"We're back?" I could scarcely believe my eyes. Although I made a turn in the middle, I was sure that there was no turning back.

Yang Xiaoqi looked around carefully, his eyes were very sharp, and finally gasped and said, "We didn't come back, but it has been following us." ”。
