Chapter 291: Don't Wear Stones (1)
"Young Master......" Shu Lanruo looked at Bai Ci pitifully with an almost begging gaze.
Bai Ci lowered his head and thought for a while, it was because of his decision that the mercenary group stayed to help find someone, if he gave up Bai Ling at this moment, not only would his own conscience not be able to get by, but he would also have no shame to face the judge and the others again.
"In this way, let's go to Bailing first, and we'll make a mark on the way, first, it's convenient to find the way back, and second, if the people above come down to look for us again, they can also follow the mark to find the past." Bai Ci said.
Zhuge Fan and Wang Ziling also have no opinions, although they have nothing to do with the mercenary group, but for the sake of Shu Lanruo and Bai Ci, they will also respect the ideas of the two.
Human life is at stake, and it can't be delayed, so Bai Ci took out the dagger he carried with him and engraved it on the stone wall: Follow the footprints, white. There is also a relatively large pile of sand on the ground, which can make people notice the words on the wall at a glance.
The four of them did not delay any longer, and walked in the direction of the footprints towards the depths of the tunnel, along the way, every once in a while, Zhuge Fan would knock a few times on the cave wall.
Shu Lanruo looked confused, and asked curiously, "Zhuge Fan, what are you doing here?" Why do you keep knocking on the wall of the cave, is it a defense mechanism? ”
"You don't understand this, do you?" Zhuge Fan raised his eyebrows and explained, "I'm sending a signal to the companions left behind above!" When there is a wind on it, they can receive our signal, which is to inform them that we are safe, and to show them where we are. ”
"Oh." Shulan nodded as if she didn't understand, and continued to walk forward.
This tunnel has already been walked by the corpse clan, and now there are Bailing walking through, and it is almost certain that there will be no mechanism, so the four of them relaxed their hearts and followed the footprints.
The four of them first swam, then climbed the hole, and now they have been drilling the tunnel for half a day, and their physical strength has long been overdrawn, Zhuge Fan was reluctant to take out the pill that filled Shu Lanruo's stomach before, and shared it with everyone.
"Save a little, there are only a few left, if we eat them all, we will starve to death!" After distributing the pills, Zhuge Fan took out a few potions to restore his strength and distributed them to everyone.
"Don't say it, Zhuge Fan, you are quite useful as a doctor, with you, at least we won't go hungry!" After Shulan Ruo swallowed the potion, she teased Zhuge Fan.
"That's, don't look at who I am." Zhuge Fan smiled a little proudly.
Everyone replenished their physical strength and continued to walk forward, originally thinking that this tunnel would not be too long, and they would be able to meet Bai Ling halfway, but they never expected that they would walk for two hours this time.
The two-hour journey, coupled with the fact that they had been bending over, although they had replenished their physical strength, still made the four of them feel a little tired, and the four of them did not communicate along the way, but just moved forward in silence.
Just when Shulanruo felt that this tunnel was endless, Wang Ziling, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, blackface?" Bai Ci asked.
"It's over." Wang Ziling said.
"What does it mean at the end of the day?" Bai Ci asked puzzledly, "Is Bai Ling in front?" ”
"No way." Wang Ziling lowered his body slightly, allowing everyone to see the front clearly.
Through the faint light of the fire, Shu Lanruo and the three of them saw that in front of them, it was indeed an end, and there was no way out at all!
But the strange thing is that Bai Ling's footprints happened to be here, without any footprints of turning or turning around.
"How is that possible?" Shulan was stunned for a moment, "A good person, is it possible that he disappeared out of thin air?" ”
"Impossible, how can a big living person disappear for no reason?" Zhuge Fan answered, "Unless she is swallowed into the stomach by the old corpse clan like those bones before." ”
"But it's not the old man's stomach bag here, how can you swallow it?" Shu Lanruo asked.
"Since it wasn't swallowed, it must be some mechanism here, and it is estimated that there should be other secret passages." Zhuge Fan looked at the surrounding environment and felt that his statement did not seem to be convincing, there were walls all around here, and it didn't look like there was a secret passage.
"Let's look for it first." Although Bai Ci didn't agree with the secret way, but in the current situation, they could only go to the blind cat to kill the mouse.
The four of them fumbled across several walls.
"It's either dirt or sand here, it doesn't look like there's a mechanism at all." Shu Lanruo groped and complained.
"Come and see!" Bai Ci suddenly called out and beckoned a few people to come to his side, "There are words here." ”
Bai Ci fumbled with the side wall, and where he pointed, there were three words engraved: Don't wear stones.
"Don't wear stones?" After seeing these three words, Zhuge Fan took a sharp breath and took a step back.
The other three monks couldn't touch their heads, and they all looked at Zhuge Fan with puzzled eyes.
"Haven't you all heard of this don't wear stones?" Zhuge Fan asked.
