Chapter 254: Entrance to the Vortex

Late at night, Tang Anshu and the other nine people, who were ready, entered the tunnels of Qiu Mansion.

When Tang Anshu got the map, he found that the labyrinthine underground passage under Yongcheng was indeed directly related to Cangcheng, and as long as you follow the tunnel in the right direction, you can enter Cangcheng.

Before leaving, Qiu Gubo asked to go with him again, but was rejected by Tang Anshu again.

"Nine people, that's enough." Tang Anshu smiled, "If you go, there will be one more person." ”

Qiu Gubo knew that Tang Anshu was half-joking, and he no longer insisted, but just admonished: "Be careful." ”

After the nine people entered the tunnel, Tang Anshu was in front alone, leading them according to the map.

After walking around the tunnel for half an hour, Yexin, who had lost some patience, asked, "Haven't you arrived yet?" How do I feel like I'm going around in circles? ”

Tang Anshu said: "No, the map indicates that we must follow this route." ”

Benzoin, who has always had an excellent memory, said at this time: "We have walked this passage under our feet for the third time, have you read the map wrong?" ”

Tang Anshu handed over the map in his hand: "Take a look." ”

Benzoin and the others leaned towards the map, looked at it carefully with torches, and found that they had not made a mistake, and the route marked on the map was indeed repeating.

Tang Anshu looked ahead and said, "Follow the instructions on the map, turn right towards the front and go straight again, and you will arrive." ”

Xionghuang frowned and said: "If I'm not mistaken, turn right ahead and go straight ahead, and we'll go back again, isn't it just under Qiu Mansion?" ”

Tang Anshu put away the map: "Then I don't know, anyway, the route is like this, let's go." ”

Everyone followed Tang Anshu back to the place of departure, and as soon as they stood still, there was a vibration under their feet, as if something heavy was moving slowly under their feet.

The crowd stood still, looking around, and no one dared to move, until the shaking had subsided, and they found that the wall in front of them had sunk into the ground, revealing an entrance the size of an ordinary door.

Yan Zhenguo, who was in the rear, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Tang, is this the entrance?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "Yes, according to the map, this is the entrance." ”

Mimi asked, "What about after you go in?" How to go? ”

Tang Anshu looked down at the map: "The map says that after entering, it will start to circle around, from large to small, until it reaches the most central position." ”

The others did not understand Tang Anshu's words, and when they looked at the map closely, they found that the lines shown on the map looked like a whirlpool.

What does that mean?

After Tang Anshu lit the torch, he threw the torch into his mouth, but was surprised to find that once the torch was thrown in, it was directly extinguished, and only the sound of the wooden stick falling to the ground could be heard.

There are only two situations, either there is wind inside, and it is a strong wind, which can blow it out the moment the torch is thrown in, or there is not enough air in it to burn.

But as soon as the entrance opened, there was already enough air coming in, and even if there was a strong wind, they could feel it standing at the entrance.

But there was no wind, not the slightest bit.

Tang Anshu said calmly: "Don't panic, I'll go and have a look first." ”

"Wait!" Xionghuang stopped, "You can't go in, let me go." ”

Xionghuang said, ignoring the dissuasion of Yumi next to him, and slowly walked into the entrance.

After Xionghuang walked in, he found that it was all soft sand, and when he stepped on it, the sand directly submerged on the back of his shoes, and there seemed to be all kinds of gravel of different sizes in the sand.

At the same time, Xionghuang found that the torch in his hand was slowly extinguished, but the way of extinguishing was very strange, as if it was being eaten by something, and there was something looming in the firelight.

Xionghuang turned his head and immediately told Tang Anshu and the others outside the entrance about this discovery.

Tang Anshu immediately said: "Put away the torch and take out the flashlight." ”

Everyone took out the flashlights they carried with them, these flashlights were bought from the people of Xingang at a high price, and they were the most valuable equipment.

"Don't come in yet!" Xionghuang stood there, took out the flashlight and turned it on, looked at the flashlight carefully, and under the light of the flashlight, he found that countless black insects flew to the front of the flashlight and danced there.

Xionghuang raised his flashlight and said, "It's a bug, this kind of bug seems to be able to devour the flames, but there is no way to swallow the rays as well." ”

Although that kind of insect does not do any harm to people now, the insect that devours the flame is unheard of by everyone, and they can't help but get nervous, especially Yan Zhenguo and Xue Huichuan who are standing at the end.

The two glanced at each other, Yan Zhenguo saw timidity in Xue Huichuan's eyes, and the two of them immediately knew what the other party was thinking, so they slowly turned around to leave while everyone was not paying attention.

As soon as the two of them turned around, they were discovered by Yumi, who drank: "Where are you going?" ”

Yan Zhenguo and Xue Huichuan immediately turned around, Yan Zhenguo couldn't hide it when he saw it, so he had to say: "Everyone, we are just big soldiers, if we want to go to the battlefield, we will definitely not pee our pants, but this kind of place is not something we can deal with." ”

Xue Huichuan also said: "Yes, everyone, let's spare us." ”

Tang Anshu pushed aside everyone and walked to the two of them: "You know, if you just leave, Sun Dashuai will not let you go when you go back." ”

Yan Zhenguo swallowed and said, "Mr. Tang, you turn a blind eye and treat us as farts, we definitely don't plan to go back when we leave the prison." ”

Tang Anshu didn't say anything, just nodded.

The two were overjoyed, and when they turned around to leave, Xionghuang raised his hand and shot at the wall next to them.

The two were shocked and turned to look at Xionghuang.

Xionghuang slowly walked out of the entrance: "You can't go, if you leave, the news will be leaked, in order to ensure that the news can't be leaked, you only have two choices, either go with us, or leave your tongue behind." ”

Yan Zhenguo and Xue Huichuan looked at Tang Anshu with pleading eyes, but found that Tang Anshu was standing in the crowd, just watching coldly.

Indeed, if the two of them left and leaked the news, letting people know that the entrance to Cangcheng was below, then the matter would be troublesome, and I don't know how many people would find it because of this.

But Yan Zhenguo and Xue Huichuan would not cut off their tongues and turn themselves into mutes, the two gritted their teeth and walked into the entrance under the coercion of Xionghuang.

"I'm sorry." Xionghuang said with a gun, "If you two were just cowardly, I wouldn't do that, let's go, from now on, you two will be at the forefront." ”

Yexin looked at Tang Anshu and found that Tang Anshu didn't say a word, in her impression, Tang Anshu would definitely step forward to stop it, but at this moment, Tang Anshu seemed to have become another person.

Tang Anshu found that Yexin was looking at her, and she also knew her doubts, so she just said in a low voice: "I'm not cold-blooded, I'm just taking care of the overall situation, let's go." ”

Xionghuang forced Yan Zhenguo and Xue Huichuan to walk into the entrance, and the rest of the people also walked in one by one, and then everyone used flashlights to shine in the entrance, only to find out what the entrance was, it was just a square room, with stones on all sides, and a huge pillar in the middle.

Tang Anshu looked around the wall and found nothing, at this time, the benzoin in front of the column head said: "There seems to be a mechanism on the column head." ”

Tang Anshu immediately said: "Don't press it!" ”

Everyone moved slightly away from the column and asked Tang Anshu to come forward to check.

After Tang Anshu looked at it for a while, he looked at the soft sand under his feet, and thought for a while: "You go out first, and then I will press the mechanism." ”

Yexin immediately said, "I'll stay." ”

Tang Anshu said: "You are the first to go out!" ”

Ye Xin frowned and looked at Tang Anshu, but Tang Anshu ignored him, and just motioned for Xionghuang and the others to leave quickly.

But just as Xionghuang walked to the entrance, the stone above fell with a bang, directly sealing the entrance.

The people who were locked up in the stone house immediately panicked, and Raimaru immediately hit the stone desperately that didn't move at all.

"Don't panic!" Tang Anshu shouted, "Before leaving, I told you, when you come to this kind of place, no matter what happens, you must be calm, this kind of ruins must be full of mechanisms!" The more panicked I became, the more I couldn't figure out what to do."

Yan Zhenguo and Xue Huichuan were clinging to the wall, already panicking, but they couldn't run away now.

Yan Zhenguo asked tremblingly: "Mr. Tang, what should I do now?" ”

Tang Anshu looked at the mechanism on the stone pillar and said: "The stone at the entrance has a time, and it will automatically close after a certain time, but it will not start the killing mechanism, if it is like that, there is no point in setting up the entrance, since this is a beginning, then this mechanism on the stone pillar will not kill us if it is pressed." ”

Benzoin asked worriedly, "Are you sure?" ”

Tang Anshu smiled bitterly: "I'm just speculating, you know, Cangcheng is a ruin, not a place like an ancient tomb, the ruins are hidden so that some special people can go, since the place where you can enter, the mechanism has a way to crack it, and the ancient tomb is different, once the ancient tomb is closed, the killing mechanism will be activated, to find a way, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, you all stand far away." ”

Everyone immediately dispersed, and after moving a little away from the stone pillar, Tang Anshu pressed the switch.

When the switch was pressed, the ground shook, and then the fine sand beneath his feet began to flow, and a flashlight could be seen, forming a whirlpool towards the position of the stone pillar.

Tang Anshu thought about it and immediately said, "Stand by the wall, stand one by one, hurry up." ”

Everyone immediately obeyed Tang Anshu's command and stood under the wall, clinging closely, while Tang Anshu glanced at the map and found the approximate location of the starting point of the whirlpool on the map, pointed there and said: "According to the map, stand here and don't move, and then go down the fine sand whirlpool." ”

Everyone looked at each other and wondered: Is this possible?

Tang Anshu said: "It's not feasible, I can only believe what the map shows, I'll come first!" ”

Tang Anshu stood at the starting point as he spoke, standing there without moving, moving along the quicksand towards the center.

Just when Tang Anshu moved to the stone pillar, there was a sudden emptiness under his feet, and the whole person fell down instantly, and it was also dark in front of him.

"Mr. Tang!" Xionghuang shouted, and when the rest of the people were about to rush forward, Xionghuang hurriedly stopped him.

Xionghuang said: "Don't go over!" Or stand in the position before Mr. Tang and let the whirlpool drive over! ”

Immediately after, Xionghuang stood up, and the others waited anxiously, praying that Tang Anshu's analysis was completely correct.
