Volume 2 The Secret Burial of the Cliff Valley_Chapter 133 The Cage

We looked at the white bones in front of us, which had blocked all the way forward.

In the depths of the cave, we don't know what terrible things will be.

At this moment, there was a sudden rattling sound from the ground. If you listen closely, it will come from the middle of those white bones.

When our flashlights shone through, we found that the bones were moving in some places. It's like there's something going to come out of here.

"Be careful." I thought of what Ma Tan said, that the poisonous insects here are very evil, so I reminded me loudly.

But I don't know what this reminder can do, because even if I don't say it, everyone's nerves are tense.

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, a lot of strange reptiles crawled out of the skull.

Lest something change, several of us retreated back at the same time.

After taking a few steps back, I realized that the reptiles were not attacking like the sand wolf worms. Rather, it was a shuttle from the bones.

The bones were affected, intertwined with each other, and made a clicking and grinding sound that gave goosebumps to hear.

Soon, all the shuttle reptiles disappeared into the bones, and none of them could be seen.

We looked at each other a few times, but the situation ahead was uncertain, and we didn't know whether to move on or go back.

As soon as we hesitated, the bones moved again.

The direction of the movement this time is no longer chaotic, but very regular. The skulls and bones moved to the sides, and a passage gradually formed in the middle.

These bones actually move on their own?

This is a question that arises spontaneously. But the answer was soon found. Just below those white bones, dense crawlers gathered.

These white bones were actually lifted and moved by those reptiles.

It was another unexpected scene. We watched dumbfounded.

The crawlers were fast, and the bones parted on either side, a long narrow passage that stretched forward to the deepest part of the cavern.

What happened in Nanliu Village this time has refreshed my cognition again and again. It seems that anything weird and bizarre happens, it's normal.

It's like the scene in front of me, those are reptiles, they're insects, and even if I don't study living things, I know that they are different from mammals and can't be domesticated. But if it is not domesticated, how can this uniform action be explained?

Looking at the long and narrow passage, even the famous biology professor Ma Tan was stunned.

The third uncle wasted no time in saying on the side: "Professor Ma, what's going on? Explain the explanation, right? ”

Ma Jian shook his head: "I really can't explain this." It's incredible, how is this possible? ”

Liang Yue carried the short knife and lost patience: "Then do you want to go forward?" ”

The third uncle held his knees and gasped a few times: "Let's go." The road has been paved for us, how can we do it if we don't go? ”

Liang Yue nodded, carrying a knife and walking first. This girl's courage is really out of the boundary.

I looked at the appearance of the third uncle, and it is estimated that he should have been drained of the remnant soul, and his vitality was damaged and not healed. I handed the stick in my hand to the third uncle, and the third uncle was not polite, took the stick in his hand as a crutch, and staggered to follow.

The bones are divided

I don't know how long the road is. I was a little apprehensive, so I asked, "Are we sure we want to go down this path?" Will someone set a trap waiting for us to fall into the net? ”

After I finished speaking, there was silence for a while, and no one could answer my question.

But we all know that as long as there is a road, there will be an end, and this underground passage will not be endless. Sure enough, after we walked a few dozen meters, the road ahead came to an end.

I looked back and saw that the road we had walked from here was once again covered with the dry bones of the reptiles. In other words, it is impossible for us to return the same way after we come here.

If you come here, you will be safe, and we have no intention of going back for the time being. Standing in place, we shone the flashlight to the front together.

A few flashlights shone through, and in the halo appeared a row of standing wooden fences, each of which was the thickness of an arm.

After careful identification, we realized that it was actually a cage surrounded by a wooden fence.

And at this time, the harsh grinding sound made by the intertwining of white bones also stopped. It was quiet, and a few faint cries for help could be heard coming from inside the cage.

The voice crying for help had no confidence, as if it was slowly squeezed out of his throat.

We gathered around the wooden fence and shone our flashlights into it up close.

Now I found that the area of this cage is not small, and there are more than a dozen people lying in it.

Most of these people are in rags, and some are even unkempt and unkempt.

They lay motionless on the ground, and we couldn't tell who made the sound.

The third uncle approached the wooden fence and asked in a low voice, "Are you still alive?" ”

No one answered, but the cry for help was interrupted for a moment and then spoke again: "Still alive...... Alive......"

Liang Yue suddenly pointed to an area closer to us and said, "There, he moved just now. ”

We focused our gaze, and sure enough, there was a man lying on his stomach on the ground, and his upper body was trying to lift up.

After a few attempts, he finally lifted his upper body, supported it on both arms, and crawled towards us.

It's not so much crawling as creeping. Bug-like wriggling.

The man finally squirmed in front of the wooden fence and looked up at us.

When we saw that face, we were shocked again.

Looking at this man's movements, he is already extremely weak, and it seems that he is not far from death. But this face was full of red light, and his face was completely out of step with his movements.

I was about to open my mouth to ask him a few words, but the third uncle suddenly pulled me next to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard the third uncle whisper: "Pay attention to his clothes." ”

This person's clothes are kept fairly intact, I don't know why the third uncle pays attention to this.

After being reminded by the third uncle, I shone a flashlight on his clothes. The clothes seemed to be a vest, the color was completely invisible, and I don't know what was dyed on it, and it was filthy.

But on the back of the garment, there are four words printed on it. There are two characters that can be recognized, the first is the word Tong, and the fourth is the word Yun.

"Through, transport...... What does this mean?

The third uncle said: "Tongda Express is a courier company in our place, and later because of the disappearance of the courier, this courier company has been closed......

"Courier company? Thin bamboo poles? ”

I took a closer look, and sure enough, the two vague words were very similar to the word Da and the word Kuai, and the third uncle should be right in his judgment.

My heart moved, could it be that this person in the cage was one of the two missing couriers who left a cigarette on the thin bamboo pole for investigation?
