After drilling several paths in a row, we finally avoided the battlefield where the underground creatures were killing each other, and came to a small stone mountain more than twenty meters high.

The mountain looks like it was built artificially, and the stalactites used to stack the mountain are arranged together according to the law of large and small at the bottom, and the canine teeth are intertwined but surprisingly neat.

At the top of the rocky mountain, there are three or four small tents made of animal skins, and there is some white paste like glass glue stuck in the gap between the leather, and I don't know what it is.

On the way up the mountain, I saw two kerosene lighters on the hillside, and immediately a deflated military kettle.

"You built this mountain?" I asked Wu Lin in my heart.

Wu Lin responded directly: "Before us, there were other people who came in, and they brought these animal skins in, and they also built the mountain. ”

Carrying animal skins with them so that they could make tents anytime and anywhere is something like this that only people in primitive societies can do.

Thinking of this, I began to suspect that the people who came here before Wu Lin were probably Dayu and his entourage.

According to Wu Lin's words, Dayu is likely to have crossed the first mile world and pressed the dragon's head in the second or third mile world.

Moreover, such a large stone mountain, not built in accordance with the existing building structure at all, can be piled up by relying solely on the stone stalactites to bear each other, like this technology, I am afraid that only the dredging of Wanchuan Dayu can create.

But no matter what, Wu Lin must have stayed here, Dayu did not have kerosene fire engines and metal military kettles in that era.

Wu Lin continued: "Let's stay here tonight and wait until sunrise before we act." ”

Sunrise? Is it deep underground, can you see the sunrise?

I had infinite doubts in my heart, but Wu Lin didn't intend to explain too much, at this moment he was already looking for a tent on the mountain.

Less than five hundred meters away, all kinds of underground creatures were fighting together, and even if we couldn't hear any sounds of battle here, the scene of flesh and blood flying was really terrifying.

The blood that burst out of the bodies of the creatures in the inner world also shone with ice-blue light, and from a distance, it looked like a huge pool of blue lava was boiling, and the blue flames were flying and falling irregularly.

I couldn't figure out why this mountain was so close to the battlefield and yet completely untouched by the war, if it wasn't for the fact that the creatures of the Inner World had completely forgotten about this place, they couldn't get close to it at all.

Thinking of this, I suddenly noticed that the stone stalactites used to pile up the mountain have a very strong sense of ritual on them, and the patterns woven from them seem to form a huge totem.

I guess that this mountain is very likely to be some kind of magic circle arranged by Dayu, and its function is precisely to resist the creatures of the inner world.

"Tang Yan, do you have paper and pens?" I drank the soup from afar.

Tang Yan didn't say a word, and immediately rushed over and handed me a thick leather notebook and carbon pen.

This is the magic circle left by Dayu, anyway, I have the responsibility to take it out, after taking the paper and pen, I began to try to draw the lines of the stalactite.

It's a pity that my painting skills are really rotten to the bone, and the light source is only a flashlight on the shoulder strap, and as soon as I move my shoulder, the beam of light will shake non-stop, which obviously adds a lot of difficulty to copying.

Later, I really couldn't paint, so I could only ask Tang Yan for help: "Hey, what kind of painting are you?" ”

Since then, he has been leaning around me to watch me paint, and when I asked, he understood what I meant, smiled, and took the paper and pen from my hand.

This guy is quite accomplished in sketching, and I began to secretly rejoice when I saw him draw a few strokes.

Fortunately, Tang Yan is an expert, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bring out this magic circle in front of me no matter what.

While painting, Tang Yan was chatting with me: "Shopkeeper, I have a question for you." ”

"Say."

"Someone like you walks around in this environment every day. Don't you feel afraid? ”

"When I went to the ground before, the situation may not be as dangerous as this time, but it is not much different, they are all on the edge of life and death, as long as one is not careful, they have to take a break. Of course I'm afraid, but I can't help it, after all, it's my duty. ”

"So, you must have a high mortality rate in that business, right?"

I haven't really thought about it. But looking back, the passages I have known over the years, including Lao Zuo and Liang Houzai, many people are also like me, dealing with all kinds of ancient tombs and evil spirits every day, and walking around the line of life and death, but I haven't heard of how many people have died because of this.

Thinking about it this way, I found that our industry is actually similar to the nature of extreme sports, both of which are high-risk, and if you are not careful, you will have burps, but because of the thorough preparation in advance, and the fact that most of the people who do this business have undergone professional training, the mortality rate is not particularly high.

I didn't say it's not high, I just said it's not particularly high.

Thinking of this, I was originally going to answer Tang Yan's question, but at this moment, Wu Lin leaned out of an animal skin tent and beckoned to everyone: "Come here." ”

Tang Yan saw that the tent Wu Lin was in was too small, and he was worried that the space would not be able to accommodate so many people, so he decided to stay and continue to draw, and when I came out, just relay Wu Lin's words to him.

I also saw that the tent was really small, so I didn't object, left the soup, and climbed the mountain alone.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw Wu Lin squatting on the ground, using a flashlight to illuminate a small patch of grass and wood ash on the ground, and Liang Zi and Sister Ma squatted beside Wu Lin left and right.

"What's the situation?" I also took out my flashlight, lit the ashes of the grass and trees, and asked casually.

Wu Lin said: "This is the ashes left behind after the grass and trees of the inner world meet the flames of the surface world, and there is a little smell of gunpowder powder on it. Ashes like this will naturally decompose and disappear completely within a maximum of 48 hours. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "You mean, in the recent past, there have been other people who have come in?" ”

Wu Lin looked at me and shook his head: "Someone has been here, but not from outside. ”

As soon as he said this, I suddenly remembered that he had mentioned earlier that this time he followed me into the inner world, in addition to helping me find the source of yin qi, there was also a purpose - he wanted to kill someone.

I asked with some hesitation, "Who has been here?" ”

Wu Lin looked around, and his voice became a little low: "The person I'm looking for." ”

After answering my question, Wu Lin reluctantly said to Sister Ma and Liang Zi: "The most terrifying creatures in Panshenling are not those monsters that glow blue all over their bodies, but a person, a 'person' like me. ”

He hadn't planned to tell the story so early, but now it seemed that Wu Lin had no choice but to speak in advance.

I looked at the ashes on the ground, and I couldn't tell what it smelled like.

At this time, Wu Lin suddenly frowned: "What about Tang Yan?" ”

I said, "Draw a mountain outside." ”

Hearing that Tang Yan didn't come in, Wu Lin immediately became nervous, he quickly got up, pushed Liang Zi and me away, and rushed out of the tent as fast as he could. 、

Seeing Wu Lin's reaction, I also realized that something was wrong, so I also followed out of the tent.

Tang Yan, who had just been drawing outside, was nowhere to be found, his thick notes and backpack had fallen to the ground, and the carbon pen was rapidly rolling down the hillside.

Wu Lin stood on the hillside, and the whole person was stunned.

Now that I think about it, the reason why I dared to let Tang Yan stay outside alone at that time was because I was too confident in my own ability and Wu Lin's ability.

In my eyes, since we are both here, there is no way for the monsters in the inner world to rush up this mountain, and Tang Yan is not far from us, so there will definitely be no mistakes.

It wasn't until Yu Yan's disappearance that I realized it was nothing more than wishful thinking.

In this alien world where all the laws of nature are disrupted, the most dangerous thing is not the monsters, nor the world itself, but a human who, like us, strayed here more than a hundred years ago.

I quickly came to Wu Lin's side: "Tang Yan was taken captive?" ”

Wu Lin didn't blame me: "Obviously. Go back to the tent and rest. ”

I was a little stunned: "What about the soup?" ”

Wu Lin's expression was also helpless: "He is safe for the time being." We can't risk crossing the battlefield, then everyone has a good chance of dying, and if we want to save Tang Yan, we must wait until the sun rises. ”

"The other party shouldn't have gone far, we can't cross the war zone, and he shouldn't be able to, right?"

"He could."

Wu Lin let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to me: "His name is Liang Tianhu, he is my teacher, and most of my skills are learned from him. A hundred years ago, Liang Tianhu and I, and an Englishman were trapped here, and we had an agreement that those who were able to leave here alive must not forget the remaining companions, and after they went out, they would also try to rescue those who stayed here. Later, the British and I successfully escaped, and Liang Tianhu took a wrong step and was trapped. ”

In the end, Wu Lin couldn't talk anymore, and it was the first time I had seen him express something so emotionally.

I said, "Are you here to save him or to kill him?" ”

Wu Lin still sighed: "I know this place too well, after so many years here, Liang Tianhu is no longer human, the only thing I can do now is to give him a relief." But after all these years, I don't know what has become of him, and maybe even if you and I join forces now, we may not be his opponents. ”

"Why did he arrest Tang Yan?"

"Because Tang Yan has compound eyes, that eye is the key to leaving Panshenling, and the reason why I was able to go out in the first place was because the British stayed here for too long, and one eye became a compound eye."

As he spoke, Wu Lin looked at the battlefield where blue blood was splashed, and his vision seemed to be able to penetrate the noise there and see something different.
