167. Fight alone
After carefully crossing the rope bridge, our group finally came to another mountain, in comparison, the mountain we were on at this time was much more sparse with trees, and there was no trace of humans, and the previous peak, more or less there were some shadows of Wu people's activities.
There are also some weeds in front of us, and there is no so-called road, but we can find the footprints left by Ma Long when they passed, and looking at the number of footprints, it seems that there are many people who came this time, about twenty people, and the footprints are large and small, in other words, there are also men and women.
I squatted down, grabbed a handful of gravel and saw that the broken soil was semi-wet, and it had rained two days ago, and I could guess from the surrounding scenes that when Malone passed here, it was also within these two days.
At this time, Li Shana threw out a few thousand paper cranes that had been folded, and after the paper crane left Li Shana's palm, it immediately flew up, and at the same time, the paper crane actually flew towards a place, Li Shana hurriedly followed, I knew that Li Shana had found some clues, and also followed, and so did the others, we walked very fast, after crossing the chain bridge of the mountain peak, we began to walk downhill, the downhill road was very steep, in order to allow everyone to go down safely, the big white legs were rolled into ropes with spider silk, and everyone was tied to their waists, we present a long snake formation to go down.
It seemed that the mountain road was only more than 500 meters, and we walked for more than an hour, during which we encountered many wild monkeys, as well as several poisonous snakes, among which there were also poisonous scorpions, but they were all killed by Li Shana, and then took the scorpion tail, which is said to be used to make anesthetics.
After climbing a big mountain, we were all out of breath and very tired, after all, climbing the mountain is a physical work, after we went down the mountain, we got together to drink some water, and ate some food, and planned to rest for half an hour before acting, after all, the combination of work and rest can maximize efficiency.
At this time, the wind in the mountains is getting stronger and stronger, the sky is covered with dark clouds, it looks like it is going to rain, everyone is going to continue to rest, but it is going to rain, so they can only go down hard, to see if they can find a place to hide from the rain before the rain, although it is also convenient to set up a tent, but after setting up a tent in the mountain, it will definitely not be able to go away for a while, and then it will be delayed until tomorrow, which is a waste of time.
The most important thing is that the footprints on the ground may disappear once it rains, and without clues, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to find Ma Long.
Eventually, we came to a valley with towering cliffs on both sides, which looked like a mountain from the outside, split in two with a great axe, with neat incisions, and in the canyon we found a robbery hole.
Li Shana unfolded the map and said: "The hero's mound is near this area, and the thief cave is also in the area, which means that it is likely that Ma Long is in it...... This terrain should be called Broken Thunder Valley, a place that is not very famous, because it is already a primeval forest area, and it is often infested with fierce beasts, so there are very few people who know about it. ”
I looked at this thief cave in all directions, and there were still many traces of fire around it, it seemed that Marlon and they had spent the night here, and then not long after the time passed, I said: "Then let's go down now, since we have found the entrance to the hero's tomb, time is an opportunity!" ”
"I didn't expect that since this hero's tomb is an underground tomb, it can be regarded as an ancient tomb, and I really don't know what will appear below." Fist Xi muttered.
"This is not an ancient tomb, it is more appropriate to say that it is an underground palace, after all, this is only a person who seals the Sword Demon, and there are no dead people else." Li Shana said.
"But I think it should be now." I understand he's talking about Marlon and them.
I first went down the thief hole, the first thief hole was very narrow, it was oblique down, I held the flashlight in my hand, very carefully slid down, by the way, and I also observed the situation around the four sides, I found that this thief hole was actually cut flat, and cut very smooth, it seems that someone in that group of people is very good at scimitar, and the thief hole in the soil sliding about ten meters, the surrounding soil wall becomes a stone wall, or a stone wall similar to marble, of course, it has to be a long distance, and when I slide to the end, I found myself in a walkway, which was quite wide, and there were some broken stones near my feet, which seemed to be half-exposed, and then moved the stones on one side of the walkway.
It's just that at this time, Xue Meiniang walked towards the front alone, I hurriedly chased over, grabbed Xue Meiniang and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I see people there." Xue Meiniang said, she pointed to a corner in the distance, but I didn't see anything at all, but stepped on something, it felt very soft, looked down, but I was shocked by a cold sweat, at my feet were the corpses of three soul explorers, the whole body was pierced with holes, at this time other people also came over, and the fist Xi stroking the wall and said: "Brother, look, this wall is full of holes for archery, if it weren't for the fact that Ma Long's people here have helped you open the mechanism, I'm afraid that the person who was shot into a hornet's nest is you." ”
I looked at these dead soul explorers, and I said, "These are all Ma Long's pawns, they are all cannon fodder, but unfortunately they don't know that Ma Long is using them." ”
"In this world, there is always no shortage of believers for powerful people." Big White Legs walked behind me, suddenly she was stunned, and hurriedly took a step back, a bright arrow shot through her chest, if she didn't retreat just now, I'm afraid she would have been hit, Big White Legs said to us: "Everyone better be careful, it seems that the machine bow and crossbow here haven't finished shooting arrows yet!" ”
I followed the unclear footprints on the ground, and during this time I saw two more corpses, both of which had touched the mechanism, but these two men obviously died more miserably, their flesh was shot and rotten, and they looked like they had been seen with countless knives, and their faces and bodies were densely packed with arrows of arrows, which looked very terrifying.
Fist Xi kicked the corpse away in disgust, and said a few words of scolding, which probably meant to blame these dead people, knowing that Ma Long was not a good thing, but he still had to follow Ma Long to death and something like that.
After walking through the corridor full of bows and crossbows, a staircase appeared in front of us again, but this time the stairs were still going down, I thought to myself, this should not be the same as the Nine Dragons Corpse Tower, right?
But when we came to the end, I soon found that at the end of this staircase, there were five entrances, and the entrance of each passage had footprints, and the surrounding area was empty, except for a corpse, and the corpse was wounded in the neck, apparently killed by his own people, and the five entrances were all identical, and I was not sure which way to go.
At this time, the others were also in trouble, and they didn't know how to continue, Li Shana asked me, "Haoran, what do you think?" ”
"Since it's five entrances, let's divide each of the five of us into one road, I believe that these five roads can be passed, and if something is wrong, return immediately, everyone should bring a walkie-talkie, right?" I looked at the crowd.
Boxer took out the walkie-talkie and said: "The signal of the walkie-talkie is a range of three thousand meters, and I am worried that if the next road exceeds three kilometers, won't everyone lose each other's voice?" ”
"Everyone, listen to me." I said, "Wait a minute, we will always keep talking, remember to remember, once there is danger, never fight alone, wait for rescue, or choose to leave immediately, one of the five roads must be right, or all five roads are right, this is just a trick." ”
"Haoran is right, only the five of us can ensure the completion rate of the task, after all, this time, everyone is here to stop Ma Long, that madman......"
I nodded to everyone, everyone adjusted the frequency, and went in one by one, Xue Meiniang and I were the last to go in, I said to Xue Meiniang: "If something bad happens, you will come back immediately, you know?" ”
Xue Meiniang looked at me softly and secretly kissed me on the cheek: "I'll tell you this, everyone has to return safely, I'm still waiting for you to come...... Marry me. ”
Xue Meiniang smiled very gently.
As soon as my heart moved, I let Xue Meiniang go in first, and I chose the last passage myself, but as soon as I entered the passage, I felt an uneasy atmosphere hit my heart, and I felt that something was going to happen next......
