Chapter 17: The Boundless Staircase
In the dark cavern, several people walked slowly next to each other, and with the faint soft light emitted by the moonstone, they could also tell if there was an obstacle in the road ahead.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Tiehammer, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly spoke out and stopped everyone behind him.
It turned out that in front of him, a spiraling downward staircase suddenly appeared.
I took a closer look at it with a moonstone, but I could only see a few steps.
Looking further down, it was pitch black, with a whirring wind blowing, as if it was bottomless.
A huge and dark sense of oppression also swept over, shuddering, making several people can't help but stand on end,
And Mu Xue, the only woman, screamed even more.
"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, it's just a little darker."
Zhao Tiezhu forced his composure to comfort a few people, but his gaze never left this step, and he was obviously extremely nervous.
"Regiment... Commander, you... You... Say what the place will be down here. ”
Mo Li broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes were misty, his mind was confused, and he began to stutter when he spoke.
For a mercenary who often licks blood at the edge of a knife, death is not terrible, but this fear of 'I am in the light, it is in the dark' will make them feel unusually timid.
Tombs, stone chambers, dark passages, spiraling down bottomless steps.
Bringing these scattered pieces together, they are undoubtedly giving people a mysterious and dangerous hint.
Not to mention Mo Li, even Lin Fan, a person who has seen ghosts and dealt with the Huangquan Ghost Emperor, can't help but feel furious at this time.
Li Lao hadn't said a word since he found this place, he had been bowing his head and pondering, and when he saw several people looking frightened, he also shook his head: "Don't be afraid, this is just a tomb road that slopes downward, and below is the main tomb." ”
After saying a word, Li Lao didn't wait for everyone's reaction, took the lead and walked up the steps, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in an instant.
"A dignified seven-foot man, how can you be so afraid, I will go down too.
If you are afraid, wait for me here. ”
Zhao Tiehammer gritted his teeth and walked up the steps.
Seeing this, Mo Li hurriedly followed, and shouted in his mouth: "Regiment leader, wait for me." ”
After a while, the backs of the two were also drowned in darkness.
At this point, there are only three newcomers left in the entrance and exit of the stairs.
"I'll just wait here for the head of the regiment, you can do it yourself."
Shao Gang was the first to speak, and after speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps away, revealing a trace of imperceptible insidiousness and cunning in the corners of his eyes.
"Wood girl, go down and try?"
Lin Fan didn't pay attention to Shaogang at all, but looked at the steps, looking eager to try, after all, there was likely to be something he needed below.
When Mu Xue heard this, she turned her head tremblingly and glanced at it, followed by a shudder, "I... I... Afraid. ”
"Scared?
If the wooden girl can lend me a moonstone, I'll go down and see. ”
Lin Fan really wanted to go down, but there was nothing that could be used for lighting, so he had to find Mu Xue to speak.
This Nizi can take out the pill to save people, and it should be okay to think of a moonstone, after all, her identity is different.
However, this insignificant thing in Lin Fan's eyes made Mu Xue hesitate, "If Lin Fan goes down, he and Shao Gang will be left here."
Although Shao Gang rarely speaks, he can still see that he is not a good person, what should he do. ”
On the one hand, there are unknown dangers, and on the other hand, there are known bad people, and it seems that it is quite uncomfortable to choose.
When Mu Xue hesitated, Shao Gang, who was not far away, suddenly walked over with a sneer, took out a piece of moonstone and handed it to Lin Fan, "I'll give you a piece of moonstone, you can go, you don't have to pay it back." ”
Shao Gang's voice interrupted Mu Xue's contemplation.
"Thanks!"
Lin Fan smiled, stretched out his hand to take the moonstone, and then turned his head to look at Mu Xue and asked, "Have you thought about it?" Really not going down? ”
Mu Xue bit her lip, still a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards the steps, not planning to wait for Mu Xue to reply.
That Shao Gang is not a good person at first glance, if Mu Xue stays here, he will probably be bullied.
A girl who took out the pill at will and gave it away, she didn't understand the truth that her wealth was not exposed!
And he looks very good, and his figure is okay, which is a naked temptation for anyone with bad intentions.
However, even if Lin Fan wants to help him, he has to be willing to do it.
"Wait, I... I'll go with you. ”
As soon as Lin Fan stepped up the steps with one foot, Mu Xue's voice came from behind him.
"This Nizi is not stupid!"
With a secret praise in his heart, Lin Fan turned his head with a smile: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
"Who... Who said that I am not afraid? ”
"Then who said they were scared?"
"I don't know, it's not me anyway, huh!"
"Hehe......"
Looking at the figures of the two gradually disappearing from view, the smile on Shao Gang's face gradually retracted, and his eyes became fierce, while striding towards the direction of the stone room, he thought in his heart, "One by one, it seems that they are really not afraid of death, and when you find out that the loot has been taken away by me, I don't know if you can still laugh."
It's a pity that Mu Xue is a pity, she looks good and is in good shape, and she is still a little rich woman who carries pills with her.
If she hadn't gone with that person named Lin Fan, it would have been a bumper harvest today, hahaha..."
.........
On the steps, although Lin Fan already felt that he was walking fast, he still didn't find Zhao Tiehammer and a few people.
And the stairs seemed to be endless, and after at least fifteen minutes of walking, it was still dark as far as the eye could see.
The further down he went, the more strange Lin Fan felt in his heart: "I walked down for almost fifteen minutes, even if I walked down twenty meters in one minute, I had already reached a position of about three hundred meters underground at this time."
It is impossible for anyone to build their tomb three hundred meters underground, and it has not yet reached the end of the steps.
So, this is not an ancient tomb.
So what exactly is this place?
Why is there such a long staircase?
Where does this staircase lead? ”
A series of question marks appeared in Lin Fan's mind, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Brother Lin Fan, why don't you leave?"
Mu Xue's voice came from behind him, waking Lin Fan up.
"Miss Muxue, do you think this place is a little strange?"
"Strange?"
Mu Xue was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head to reveal a thoughtful expression.
Hearing Lin Fan say this, she really felt a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was strange.
Just when the two of them were puzzled, their eyes suddenly lit up.
It can be clearly seen that under the few steps under the feet, there is a stone room.
In the stone room, there are countless gold and silver vessels, pearls and gemstones.
Mo Li was frantically stuffing gold coins into his arms.
Zhao Tiezhu was holding a long knife made of jade, fascinated.
And the source of the bright light is because of the huge night pearl held by Li Lao.
This scene stunned Mu Xue and Lin Fan at the same time.
