"What do you say?"

Just as Wu Ze was about to ask clearly, as soon as the rope moved, Wu Ze slid down, and he didn't have time to ask anything, Wu Ze only felt that the wind between the cliffs was very strong.

He grabbed the safety rope with one hand, loosened the zipline, and kept descending, and there were iron rings nailed to the cliff wall at every stone crevice, which was estimated to be the same as the Japanese back then, and Xiao Li installed protective devices on these iron rings.

Maybe the railroad track that disappeared on it was once laid on this cliff, and it seems that the devil should have blown up all the railroad tracks when he retreated.

Wu Ze soon stepped on the ground again, and found that the space below was very large, much larger than above, and he could hear the sound of rushing water.

"Lao Li, what did you say just now......"

Wu Ze waited for Li Weimin to come down and wanted to ask clearly, but found that Li Weimin turned his head and left, ignoring himself, so he had to give up.

Whoa! The sound of the water is very clear!

Not far from where they stood, there was an underground river, but it didn't seem to have much water right now.

Looking around, except for one road that extends downward, there are almost 90-degree vertical cliffs on both sides.

When everyone arrived, Sun Ruhai said: "This should be the bed of an underground river, the surrounding cliffs and the stones on the ground are extremely smooth, some moss, it seems that every time there is rain on the surface, or the snow in the mountains melts, the water level of this underground river will rise!" ”

"You see the waterlines are high on both sides, isn't it dangerous for us to stand here?" Wu Ze asked at the beginning.

Sun Ruhai didn't answer, but looked to both sides with some concern.

Wu Ze's worries are reasonable, if there is an underground flood at this time, what should he do, and where do he have to run to be safer? But on second thought, the surface hasn't rained for almost a month, and it's safe, at least for the time being.

The railroad tracks on the cliff wall were blown away, since there is a riverbed below, it is impossible for the rails of the Devil Division to be laid underneath, so where is the other end of the disappeared railroad connected to it?

It should be safer to find the junction of the railroad track and walk along the railroad track, if you walk blindly in a group of people, it is very likely to get lost in this underground space.

"Don't think too much, let's keep going!" Sun Ruhai said.

At this time, Li Weimin suddenly said: "Wait a minute, why is there someone lying on the ground in front?" Who is it! ”

When everyone heard him shout, they were shocked, and several bright flashlights turned on and shone forward.

Sure enough, not far ahead, on the beach of the underground dark river, there were a few people lying down, not moving, a cool breeze blew, and everyone was a little creepy.

"I'll go take a look!" Xiao Li is good and timid, he pulled out a sharp military dagger and quickly walked over.

Sun Ruhai and Bruce didn't care too much, holding the military shovel in their hands, and followed in Xiao Li's footsteps.

"Whew!"

Sun Ruhai walked closer, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Startle me, it turns out to be a stone sculpture of a human body!" ”

Wu Ze also ran over, and after a closer look, sure enough, there were many stone statues lying on the river beach, all of which were in the shape of people, and they were carved lifelike and very fine, even the details between the teeth and fingers were carved.

It's just that some of the images are weird, and these statues all grin with their teeth and describe them as vicious, as if they are going to eat something, which makes people very uncomfortable to look at.

Walking forward, there are also many statues, but the shape is compared with the previous one, and there are some differences, all of them are the lines of robes, and their heads are facing the same direction, as if they are worshipping something.

Li Weimin, an underground expert, stepped forward, looked around, and said: "There is no doubt that this place is a sacrificial place in ancient times, these things are similar to terracotta warriors and horses, and they should be carved by the ancient nobles in order to still be able to rule the crowd after death, of course, it is also possible that some wizards ordered the carving of these stone statues for the sake of psychic." ”

"However, if the sacrificial place is built in the dark underground, there are usually more evil spirits to be sacrificed!" Li Weimin continued.

Wu Ze couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the underground evil spirit is not a good thing.

When Jiang Yan heard him say this, she didn't care, she took out her camera a little excitedly, and took a photo with a click.

At this time, Bruce, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, picked up a bag of something from the ground and said, "There is so much more marching bag on the ground?" ”

"Could it be that one of us is left behind!" Xiao Li's eyes were a little wrong, but he quickly replied pretending to be unfazed.

"No, these marching bags aren't ours!" Sun Ruhai checked it carefully, and he was responsible for purchasing everyone's backpacks, and there was no such style on the ground at all.

"Did anyone come down before us?"

Looking left and right at the marching outdoor bag, I found that it was empty, and I found nothing, as if it had been washed down by water.

"Look, what are these?" Bruce asked, picking up pieces of plastic foam from the ground.

Li Weimin walked up, took the thing from Bruce's hand, his face changed slightly, looked around again, and then said to Bruce: "This seems to be some kind of bug, or the protective film of amphibians?" ”

"Well, I remember, I seem to have encountered this kind of strange thing in the equatorial rainforest before, and it will take the initiative to attack people, it should be a huge bloodsucking worm-like thing." Bruce seemed to remember something.

His face was a little pale, and he continued with palpitations: "Once these bloodsucking insects are adsorbed to the human body, it is difficult to remove them, dozens of bloodsucking insects, in fifteen minutes, will directly suck the blood of a living person dry!" ”

Wu Ze also walked over, picked up one and put it in his hand, and after a closer look, he found that there were many small suckers on the abdomen of this thing, and there were also many dry tentacles, and then he touched it, this thing should be the result of the underground river receding and drying after death.

"Everyone should be careful, since there are corpses of these things on the river beach, then I am afraid that there are many monsters with tentacles in the river, if we need to wade in the water, we must wear waterproof shoe covers, remember to take protective measures, be careful!" Sun Ruhai warned.

Everyone nodded in unison with deep understanding, and the vicious stone carvings, inexplicable marching bags, and air-dried bloodsucking insects made everyone begin to be vigilant.

Sun Ruhai decided to continue to walk forward tentatively to see if he could find the joint of the railroad track that the Devil Division had laid before, it seemed that he also knew that only by finding the track that led to the ground would he not deviate from the direction.

And Li Weimin and Jiang Yan looked east and west, took many photos in a row, and only then chased after everyone when they were far away.

Wu Ze walked forward with everyone one foot high and one foot low.

Soon there were several other underground rivers in front of them, and several underground rivers intersected on a gentle river beach, but fortunately, the water flow was not large, although the river water rose slightly, but everyone walked on the river beach, and there was no danger for the time being.

After walking on the river beach for several hours, there was still no end, and everyone was tired and hungry.

Sun Ruhai called Xiao Li and the other four people, and after continuing to explore the road in front, he then ordered everyone to start replenishing their physical strength and making food, everyone unloaded their respective packages, found a flat place, and began to rest.

Wu Ze sat on a stone by Luo Fatzi, loosened his shoelaces slightly, and was just about to reach out to pinch his sore calves to rest, when he inadvertently looked up and found that there was a person standing on the opposite stone?

When he looked closely, it turned out to be Xiao Li who went to explore the way, he just heard that Xiao Li's name was Li Huaishan, and his origin was very mysterious.

Why did he come back so soon, could it be that he could have found the vanished railroad tracks?

No, why did he climb so high!

Looking at Xiao Li carefully, Wu Ze felt that something was even more wrong, why did Xiao Li stare at the people sitting around with red eyes, with a cold and fierce expression, just like those stone statues on the ground before, and the other people who went to explore the path with him?

Before Wu Ze could stand up, suddenly there was a scream from the front, "Ah...... Help me! ”

The people sitting around were startled, hurriedly stood up, and rushed forward, and when Wu Ze and the others rushed to the front, they found that three of the people who had gone out to explore the road before were lying on the ground convulsing and wailing, and soon there was no movement.

"What's the matter, let's see if there's any help!" Sun Ruhai shouted anxiously.

"Stand back!" Li Weimin shouted.

"Poof!"

Without waiting for Sun Ruhai to reach out to test his breath, suddenly the three people lying on the ground had their stomachs getting bigger and bigger, and soon a tentacle burst out from their navel.

"Poof!" After a bang, blood and intestines flowed all over the ground, dozens of huge water fleas with long tentacles, with sharp teeth, revealing dark green eyes, and obviously poisonous saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths, which kept coming out of their stomachs and looking for the people around them to pounce.

"Damn, what a strange thing, run!"

"Go back and fetch the fire, and burn it with fire!"

Hearing Li Weimin shouting like this, the frightened and panicked crowd pulled out their legs and ran to the place where they had rested before.

The dozens of water fleas were in hot pursuit, but fortunately they didn't run fast, and everyone quickly took small canisters of gas, lit the flames, and sprayed them at the strange things.

The squeaky, squeaky toad, full of suckers and tentacles, made a terrible cry after being ignited, emitting a burst of foul smell, everyone was in a hurry, the sapper shovel and the fire burned, and finally burned those few strange things to death one by one.

Then everyone was a little stunned, and more panicked!

This water flea should be highly poisonous, and these three guys who open the way may be poisoned by accident, allowing these strange fleas to burrow into their stomachs.

But after a while, three people died, what about Xiao Li?

Wu Ze turned his head to look at the stone opposite, and found that Xiao Li, who was originally standing there, had long since disappeared.

He wondered if he had been dazzled.

Sun Ruhai's cold color turned a little blue, as the convener of this event, he encountered this disadvantage as soon as he came out of the division, Rao is also a little upset after organizing many field treasure exploration activities.

Bruce was more daring, he took a sapper shovel, tossed the scorched strange things, and said: "These things, highly poisonous, and extremely aggressive, live by sucking blood, and the water fleas run here to produce mutations, otherwise it is difficult to explain why they have become so large!" ”

"Alright, don't talk so much, it's imperative that we think about the next step!" Sun Ruhai said with a headache.

The demoralized crowd carried the disembowelmented bodies of the three pathfinders back to the temporary camp and placed them in their respective sleeping bags.

Although tired and hungry, everyone has no appetite at this time, they all sit on the ground in a daze, no one makes a sound, not long after they set off, they encountered such a big accident, not to mention that Xiao Li has not seen a trace, it is estimated that it is more than lucky.

Although Wu Ze told everyone that Xiao Li was standing on the stone on the ground just now, everyone didn't believe what Wu Ze said, so he was dazzled.

If it is an outdoor adventure under normal circumstances, once such a serious death occurs, it is necessary to return the body of the victim the same way, otherwise there is no way to explain to their families.

However, this team is full of adventure fanatics, or tomb robbers and outlaws, since they have spent so much effort here, everyone must be a little unwilling to go back now.

But now that three people have died, the death is tragic, and one is missing, I'm afraid things are a little troublesome.

Sun Ruhai asked everyone's opinions one after another, and in the end everyone decided to go back the same way, and wait until they returned to the ground to make plans, underground treasures are very important, but life is more important.

"What if Xiao Li doesn't die and comes back later? Isn't it too hasty for us to go back like this, how will we explain to Xiao Li's family when the time comes? No one is alive, no one is dead! ”

"There is no response from the walkie-talkie at all, it is estimated that he has been killed, there must be many blood-sucking daphnia in front, if you send someone to find it, it is estimated that the danger is very great, it is better for us to leave a mark in this place, if he comes back, tell him to continue walking back, we will wait for him under the original cliff!" Sun Ruhai said.

Things can only be like this, and Wu Ze didn't say anything more.

"Wait a minute! Listen carefully, what's coming from over there? Li Weimin said suddenly.

Everyone was startled, pricked up their ears and listened carefully, only to feel that something in front of them rumbled and roared loudly, and it was approaching this place like a thousand horses galloping.

"Not good! It's the sound of the water! ”

"The underground river is rising, everyone run to the heights!" Wu Ze shouted.

The people who were still on the river beach suddenly turned pale, and they were in a hurry, and the waterlines on both sides were so high, where to escape?

Bruce is a veteran of caving, and he said calmly: "If you climb to a high place, you must be above the waterline, otherwise you will definitely be swept away by the flood!" “

The bright flashlights that were originally in everyone's hands were all turned on in an instant, illuminating the river beach, but the stones that could be climbed in front of them were below the waterline, and then they looked forward and found that the road was wrong.

It turns out that everyone was attracted by the stone statues before, and before they knew it, they took a fork in the road, and the road now is completely different from when they came.

"Climb up, just climb the cliff and jump on the opposite rock, and we'll be safe!" Sun Ruhai ran and shouted while looking back.

Boom, boom, the underground dark river let out a huge roar, getting closer and closer to the river beach where Wu Ze and the others were.
