"What about the professor?" Yang Wenhao suddenly spoke, "Mr. Sheng, please save the professor." ”

Sheng Shiyao glanced at it lightly and ignored it. Yang Wenhao looked at me with a pleading gaze and said mournfully, "Cheng Xiao, can you help me speak?" The professor and Jiaming are in a bad situation. ”

I took two steps forward when I heard this, and looked at the situation of the two people lying on the ground, not only was it very bad, it was already less air inlet and more air out, and both of them were dead ashes, probably inhaled a lot of sand in the trachea when they fell into the quicksand pit. This requires advanced medical equipment to clean up the sand for them, Sheng Shiyao is a human being, not a god, and he is not a doctor, I shook my head at Yang Wenhao, saying that I could not do anything.

Seeing this, Yang Wenhao's eyes were gray and gloomy, as if he was desperate. I couldn't bear to turn my face away and didn't look over there, then Sheng Shiyao suddenly got up and walked to the door, and asked him what he was doing, he thought about it and beckoned to me: "You come with me, the others continue to stay here, if there is a situation, fire a warning shot." ”

I had already rested for a while, replenished food and water, and recovered a lot of physical strength, so after being called by him, I immediately got up and walked up to him. Zhou Tong stuffed a gun in my hand and instructed, "Little sister, follow Brother Yao." I nodded, my heart naturally followed, I don't want to be in a desperate situation alone, and then force myself to hollow out my head to survive, that feeling is very bad, it's still good to rely on.

Traveling again, the equipment was naturally fully worn, Sheng Shiyao took a pair of night vision goggles to wear again, and also brought a small amount of water and food, just in case. In addition, I saw that he took a small cloth bag and stuffed it into his pocket, but I don't know what it contained. After getting ready, Sheng Shiyao and I stepped into the darkness again.

Sheng Shiyao didn't walk fast, he observed the houses on both sides as he walked, and I also learned from him to inspect it, but I didn't see any doorways, just some ancient buildings. The corners of the building are carved and the panes are wood-shaped, some of which look like houses, and some of which look like shops, which can be seen from the shape of the door. There is a kind of double door, the craftsmanship of the door is exquisite, it should be a store; The single-door shape should be a more rustic house.

This place looks like an ancient town, and if it weren't for the fact that I walked on this dark and winterless road, I would have thought that I had traveled to a certain dynasty, or accidentally walked into some film and television city.

After walking for a while, I found that we had returned to the stone house where we met Sheng Shiyao, and I intuitively went to look for Chen Bing lying on the ground, but this search was shocked, the place where the person was lying was empty.

I hurriedly grabbed Sheng Shiyao's hand, pointed to that place and said, "Look, that Chen Bing is gone." ”

Sheng Shiyao didn't make a sound, frowning and his face was slightly gloomy, obviously he also saw it. I hypothetically speculated, "Could he have woken up and gone on his own?" But seeing him shake his head, he said, "It's impossible, if you close the acupuncture points, it's impossible to wake up by yourself in five or six hours." ”

That...... What beast has eaten it? I shuddered at the thought of this possibility, but then I felt that it was impossible, if it was eaten by wild beasts, there would inevitably be something left, even if it was a piece of residue, but the ground was bare, and there was nothing. A person who was supposed to exist disappeared out of thin air, this is not described by weird energy, it should be described as terrifying.

I only heard Sheng Shiyao say in a deep voice: "Don't guess, the biggest possibility is that he was taken away by some animal, let's take a look at the dark room you said first." It turned out that he had consciously walked back here to inspect the dark room. But I still have a knot in my heart about Chen Bing, he disappeared suddenly, if it was taken away by an animal, then there should be some blood stains or something, but there was no trace on the ground, not even around.

Sheng Shiyao obviously didn't care about Chen Bing's whereabouts, so he dragged me into the stone house, and I didn't want to say more. When I entered the stone house, the lamp was still on, and I told him about the lamp. Although after touching the mechanism, Chen Bing and Chen Bing walked all the way to the door and did not meet again, but it is difficult to ensure that there is no omission, and it is better to be mentally prepared.

From his previous experience, Sheng Shiyao had studied the mystic arts, and after he looked around, he fixed his gaze on the stone bricks on the ground. Walking slowly, after a while he said: "The stone slabs are smooth, the joints are dense, there should be no more mechanisms on the road here, but be cautious, you walk behind me." ”

I walked behind him as he was told, and the quiet space was only the sound of the two of them breathing and stepping on the stone bricks under their feet, which was completely different from the mood before. I won't feel uneasy in my heart, I won't feel cold in my back, and I won't be nervous all over my body and ready to fight at any time, because ...... There was a tall figure in front of him, staring at his back, and he felt settled in his heart.

Soon we were through the stone chamber, and when we reached the steps, we looked down and saw that the tile I had stepped on was still in its place. Sheng Shiyao glanced at it and said: "This is not some ingenious mechanism setting, it may be purely set up to protect the lamp oil in the lamp from consumption, this stone room is a bit like a large gathering place." ”

When climbing up the steps, Sheng Shiyao sighed, I asked him what he found, he leaned down and reached out to touch the stone steps, and then said: "But I looked away, and thought it was made of white marble, but this material is very similar to white marble, and it should be very valuable. ”

I thought of a possibility, and said, "Could it be that the person who was held in the dark room at the top is very important, so you made such a noble staircase?" By the way, on the door wall of the dark room, there was a ten-centimeter-wide diamond-like wall base in the middle of the stone wall, and it was so tough that even Shadow Moon couldn't pierce it. ”

"Oh? Go up and have a look. ”

The two of them quickly climbed the stairs, and because they were wearing night vision goggles, they quickly reached the secret door. The feeling of touching it with your hands is completely different from seeing it with your eyes, and when you see it with your own eyes, you realize that the stone door is so thick, and you can find the handprint under the door. Seeing Sheng Shiyao squatting down to study the mudra, I told him how to exert force and rotate at that time, and when he stretched out his palm and pressed it into the mudra, I found that his palm fit the mudra very well.

It seems that the person who skillfully set up this mechanism must be a tall man like Sheng Shiyao.

I just wanted to remind him that he had turned wrong, but I heard a strange sound, and when I listened carefully, I found that it was from the stone wall in front of me, and soon I saw that it was a flat stone wall, and some stones were arched out little by little.

Below, Sheng Shiyao's palm was still rotating, until it could no longer rotate, and three depressions appeared on the wall, which were in the shape of a square. When I looked at the location, I was taken aback, the location of the three depressions and the hole that I had dug through with the shadow moon were just the corners of the square. I walked to one of them, looked in, and found that it had been indented more than a foot away, having dug a hole before, and knew that the thickness of the stone wall was longer than that of an arm, that is, more than two feet.

At this time, Sheng Shiyao also walked over, and after touching the hole in the sunken wall, he reached inside and pushed it hard, and there was a falling sound on the other side of the wall, and the hole immediately appeared. The other two were concocted in the same way, and holes also appeared.

Before, I guessed that the hole was an air window, so that the people outside could bring food to the people in the dark room, but now that there are such holes in the four corners, my guess is not very valid. Moreover, the mechanism of the stone bar change is located in the handprint on the door of the dark room, so it can only be controlled by the people in the dark room, and I vaguely feel that this dark room is not as simple as imprisoning prisoners.

The four holes couldn't see anything, Sheng Shiyao pointed to the door and said to go inside. Although I still have some lingering feelings about this dark room, I am not afraid of him now. Walking into the stone gate, I finally got a glimpse of the whole picture of the place that trapped me for nearly five or six hours, indeed, as Chen Bing said, like a natural stone funnel, the entire bottom is nearly two meters wide, about 30 meters long, the top of the head is less than an arm is the top of the stone, and then in the middle position, there is an oblique upward opening, as for where the opening extends, our night vision glasses can not see the head, which is enough to prove that the oblique height is 30 meters outward.

This is about the same as what we estimated in our minds when we fell. Looking at the stone wall again, I found the stone wall that I had cut with the shadow moon, where the wall that looked like a diamond material was exposed, Sheng Shiyao reached out and touched it, his face was surprised, he said: "This is not a diamond, but a stone with a special material, its hardness lies in its density is very fine, and the plane is smooth, no wonder even the shadow moon can't move." And it's not man-made, it's natural, and it seems that the steps that look like white marble on the outside are made of stone mixed with this material. ”

"But I can't even cut the shadow moon, how can I take this stone off and use it?"

Sheng Shiyao said: "We must believe that human wisdom is endless, and that there is no problem in the world that can stump human beings, and that in order to survive and benefit, we can always think of a suitable way." Obviously, the four holes and the stone door were later found to cut the stone of this material, and then artificially installed a bracket device to fill in the heavy stone door and stone bars. At this point, he paused for two seconds and looked around before saying, "If I'm guessing correctly, this is actually an ore cave, and there is this high-quality ore inside the stone walls around it, let's call it a gold stone mine." The large stone chamber outside was for the ore miners, so the environment was relatively simple, with only a lot of stone beds. ”

His views were always peculiar, but they had to be convincing to explain the purpose of the dark room and the large stone room outside. If a gold stone mine the size of a stone gate can be used to create a hundred and fifty steps similar to white marble, then the preciousness of this stone is immeasurable.
