The problem is that there are only so many people around me, and if Qingyazi and Lao Wen can't accompany me to the ground, others can't do it.

By the way, there is still practicality around me, whether it is scheming, means, or cultivation, he can afford to go to the ground, but he is not in good health, and he coughs non-stop every time he moves vigorously, not to mention facing the harsh and changeable environment in the crypt.

Wu Lin is indeed not bad, but he sees the dragon all day long, and wanting to cooperate with him for a long time is tantamount to a fool's dream.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think of a good candidate, so I simply stopped thinking about it.

By the time the old man had recovered his strength, it was already two hours later, and we hastily counted our supplies, intending to return to the other side of the river via the dam, and had just packed up our things when the sound of hurried footsteps appeared again.

This time it came from the top of the dam, and the three of us heard the movement at the same time and immediately turned back to look at the dam.

As soon as he turned his gaze, the footsteps stopped abruptly, and only the sound of the river was left in the dark space.

Leaning against the quicksand of the Qi Sea, I vaguely saw a small bulge appear on the top of the dam, which seemed to float from the ground, and the outline looked like a raised pile of mud.

Before I could see what it was, I heard a loud "ping" and the two searchlights on the dam dimmed at the same time, and in a short time they were completely extinguished.

Lao Wen immediately raised his flashlight and shone a light on the top of the dam, and the beam swept to the base of the searchlight, and everyone saw that a small pitch-black pile was slowly collapsing, looking like a mass of gradually melting asphalt.

It eventually disappeared from view, and the footsteps did not appear again, but I had a faint sense that something was rushing down the top of the dam to the other side of the river.

The reason why I can feel it is because it is exuding a very faint yin energy, but soon it is far away from us, and the yin energy completely disappears into the darkness.

Lao Wen looked at the other side with a solemn face, and said in a low voice, "Is it the strange shadow we encountered before?" ”

Qingyazi: "Nine times out of ten, it is." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, I felt that something was wrong in my heart, and it was supposed that when the shadow appeared, it should be accompanied by footsteps, but the things on the top of the dam did not make the slightest movement when they left. Also, what's going on with the yin qi on its body, why didn't I sense it at all when it came over?

That yin qi seemed to appear on the dam out of thin air.

Lao Wen turned his face to me and asked, "Are you still on the dam?" ”

"I'll take the lead," I nodded, "and you'll follow." ”

When I came to the dam, I could hear a "snort" sound, and there was a very light humming during the period, I asked Lao Wen and Qingyazi to wait below, and climbed to the top of the dam alone, only to see that the cable on the base of the searchlight was broken, and the broken was very close to the metal base, and it was crackling and sparking at this time.

The humming sound came from inside the dam, probably because the moisture on the dam body was too heavy, causing dark electricity to affect the normal operation of the power generation equipment.

The moisture on the ground had accumulated into a film of water, and the three of us were wet from top to bottom, even if we were wearing rubber-soled shoes, we would be electrocuted when we approached the searchlight.

What appeared on the top of the dam seemed to try to prevent us from crossing the dam, but why did it withdraw halfway through? I couldn't figure it out.

The water in the river is too strong for it to go directly to the waterway, so I can only summon the karmic wind and karma fire, and the fire will be introduced into the river, and the wind will blow over the top of the dam, causing the water on the ground to condense into ice.

The water in this place is not pure, and even if it is condensed into ice, it can still conduct electricity, but in any case, it will be slightly less conductive.

I asked Qing Yazi and Lao Wen to dig out most of the materials in the waterproof bag, and turned out the dry side of the waterproof bag, put their feet together, and tied the turned bag around their ankles.

After more than ten minutes of tossing, the three of us jumped through the top of the dam like grasshoppers.

The action is really not good-looking, but in order to save his life, he can only be wronged. Ice surface plus waterproof bag, with two layers of insulation measures, I also dare not be careless, the moisture in this place is too heavy, if the speed is not fast enough, and the surface of the waterproof bag is filled with water or rest, plus the ice surface is more slippery, this way to jump, it is really dangerous and dangerous, from the searchlight when crossing, because the humidity in the air is too large, we still feel the paralysis like an electric shock.

Probably the three of us didn't deserve to die, but we finally came over in a thrilling way.

When they came down from the dam, the foreheads of the three people were wet, and I don't know if it was the water droplets formed by the condensation of the damp or the cold sweat that came out of the pores.

It took a moment to calm down a bit, and then we packed up our things again and turned on our flashlights to go to the cave on the riverbank.

From the dam to the hole, there is a long circuit, the outer layer is wrapped in a moisture-proof pipe, and the inside is a cable, which leads to the hole and extends down the wall of the hole.

When we got to the cave, we could see the light coming from deep underground. The light is dark red, and standing in this place and looking down, it gives the illusion of standing at the entrance to hell, and in the depths of the earth, I don't know how deep, as if a blood-colored karmic fire is burning.

Qingyazi swept around the entrance of the cave, and the light illuminated the half-rusted ladder frame. There was supposed to be an iron ladder in the hole, but it fell into the depths after it was rusted.

"The crust here is too hard for the spikes to get into." Qing Yazi raised his head and said with a frown.

I visually measured the depth of the cave and responded, "Three steel cables are connected, the length should be enough, I'll put you two down first, and then hold on to the cave wall." ”

Qing Yazi was obviously a little uneasy: "The cave wall is so slippery, can you hold it?" ”

"Trust me."

After speaking, I started to connect the three steel cables together, Lao Wen and Qingyazi tied themselves to the climbing rope, I stood by the cave with solid steps, grabbed the steel rope with both hands, and slowly put the two of them down.

The hole was shallower than I expected, and after the two of them descended about 30 meters along the hole, they heard Lao Wen shouting from below: "It's the end!" ”

I threw down the rope first, then jumped into the hole, my hands and feet stretched outward at the same time, and four shocks rushed down the palms and soles of my feet to the hard cave wall.

Qing Yazi was right, the cave wall was indeed very slippery, and it couldn't hold it up with normal friction alone. But I can rely on the vibration to first push the inside of the stone out of the hole, and then quickly crush the case of the stone wall with hard force to form a small shallow groove, and use this as a point of gravity to slowly move downward.

Even if there is a point of strength, I don't dare to be careless, the outer layer of the cave wall is too slippery, I have to rely on my hands and feet to support it, a little loosen the force, I will fall vertically, this is the height of ten floors, I am afraid that the bottom is also a hard rock formation, just fall like this, even if you don't die, you have to fall halfway.

Da, da, da......

At first, I thought it was the water droplets raised in the river that fell to the ground and made a sound, but as the sound got closer and closer, I realized that it was the sound of footsteps, and my heart suddenly tightened, and I immediately looked up at the entrance of the cave.

I saw a long, narrow shadow pressing along the cave wall, quickly pressing towards me.

Only shadows!

I screamed "broken" in my heart, and now my hands and feet are pressed against the cave wall, and I can't fight back.

But before it could touch the top of my head, it shrank twice and slowly withdrew. When it came in, the footsteps continued one after another, but when it exited, it didn't make any sound, and at the same time, I could vaguely feel that there was a faint yin aura emanating from its body at that time.

That yin qi, although the amount of qi is small, but it is not mixed with a trace of impurities, and it is abnormally pure, which is clearly the unique yin qi in the underworld.

I first breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and then I couldn't help but wonder, the Netherworld Treasure on my body was in a quiet state, and it was not urged at all, where did the Yin Qi on the shadow come from?

Seeing that the crisis was already in contact, I was worried that the thing would come back soon, so I sped up my movements, hurriedly walked the remaining twenty meters, and fell to the ground.

Lao Wen stretched out his hand to help me and asked me why I stopped in the middle of the road just now.

I hurriedly took out my flashlight and lit the hole above my head, under the light beam, I could only see the reflection of the moisture pipe and moisture in the hole, and I was relieved to see that the shadow did not follow: "The shadow just appeared again, but it withdrew before it touched me." ”

When Qing Yazi heard me say this, he also frowned: "What the hell is that thing?" ”

"It's possible that it's a ghost pawn in the underworld, but it's hard to say yet."

As I spoke, I lowered my head and glanced around.

This place is a very small stone hall, the area is five or six square meters, and directly opposite me is the staircase leading to the lower floor, and on the stone wall on the left hand side is a large light bulb, and the glass cover of the light bulb is covered by a layer of slimy something, which is red, causing the light to turn blood red. There was also a strong fishy stench in the air, like the smell of carrion fused with blood.

Qing Yazi pointed to the lamp head and said to me, "What sticks to it should be blood." ”

Once the blood of the living creature is separated from the veins, it will not long dry up, leaving only a dark red layer of slag, and what can be attached to the bulb looks slimy, like grease and glue mixed together.

I frowned, "The blood of the evil corpse? ”

Qing Yazi shook his head: "I can't feel the corpse gas, but the smell emanating from it is indeed very similar to the smell of corpses." ”

I nodded sullenly, and came to the staircase with a flashlight, the stairs leading to the next floor were made of stone, and there was no light underneath, and when I swept the stone steps with a flashlight, I saw that there were pinches of particles scattered on each step, which looked a bit like scattered cement slag.

"Let's go." Turning around and waving to Qingyazi and Lao Wen, I went down the stone steps with a flashlight.

After coming down from the stone steps, the fishy smell suddenly became stronger, Lao Wen and Qingyazi hurriedly erected the neckline of the vest, barely covering his nose, I endured the discomfort caused by this smell, and I kept frowning.
