Chapter 462: Uchiyama
Wu Lin did not exaggerate, the weight of this stone brick is indeed much heavier than it looks, just pulling him out of the hole, it consumed all the strength, fortunately, everyone is a practitioner, and the recovery ability is relatively strong, so that he will not be ruthless once, and his arms and legs will be sore for several days.
I decided to let everyone rest for one night first, and then enter the inner mountain tomorrow morning, after all, with their current state, even if they go in, I am afraid that they will not be able to go far and will be tired, and the situation in the inner mountain is complicated, and there are dangers hidden everywhere, and it is very unwise to drag the tired body to force it to the ground.
This proposal was opposed by most people, who said that it had been delayed for too long since entering the mountain, and that it really could not be delayed any longer.
Among these people, Wu Lin did not express his position, but Dantuo was the first to stand up and support.
Wu Lin didn't say anything, since we came to the bottom of the pond in the afternoon sun, Dan Tuo's performance was a little strange, he was not active at all in his work, he always grinded foreign workers, and when he pulled out the slate, everyone worked hard, and only he just made a show, and he refused to come out at all.
I vaguely felt that he didn't want to go into the Uchiyama, or rather, he didn't want us to go in.
But anyway, I still insisted on my own idea, let everyone go back to the mountain to rest, Boss Wen and Li Huaishan argued with me about this, I have never been good at arguing with people, so I simply stopped talking to them, and waved my hand directly: "Act early tomorrow morning, it's so decided." ”
Hearing me say this, although Dan Tuo didn't say anything on the surface, he showed a relieved expression, and Boss Jiang muttered in a low voice: "It's really getting more and more like the second master." I didn't hear her words.
After a night's rest, I felt that everyone was almost recovered, so I packed up my bags and took everyone into the inner mountain.
Wu Lin said that if it is divided according to the air quality, the Gu nest can probably be divided into two layers, the layer close to the surface is completely occupied by poisonous gas, when entering, you must wear a gas mask, to a deeper layer, the poisonous gas will gradually fade, and you can take off the mask when the time comes.
Jin Xiangqian bumped into a small walkie-talkie in everyone's gas mask to facilitate communication, and when he tossed it over, except for me and Wu Lin, everyone else gathered next to the hole in the ground and carefully put on the gas mask.
Li Huaishan straightened the walkie-talkie that was clinging to the side of the gas mask, and when he was about to cover his whole face, I called him: "Ergou." ”
Li Huaishan stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at me.
I exhaled slightly and said to him, "Be careful." ”
Li Huaishan gave me a smile: "You too." ”
With that, he put his mask over the door, and I could no longer make out his expression.
Wu Lin tied a steel cable to the stone brick that we had pulled up before, and put the other end of the steel cable into the hole in the ground, then straightened up, glanced at the people around him, and said, "The situation under the ground is too complicated, and it is easy to be cut off if the line is long. ”
I nodded: "There are eight of us in total, two people in a row, four people in a row into the hole, Ergou and Wu Lin take the lead, and Boss Jiang and I are behind." ”
Wu Lin didn't say much nonsense, put a steel cable on the stone bricks, and Li Huaishan took the lead in going to the ground, and then Boss Yu, Dantuo, Jin Xiangqian, and Boss Wen followed in front and back, and Boss Jiang and I walked in the end.
Originally, I thought that there should be a very long tomb road under the waterhole, but I didn't expect that there was only a short section, and the distance between the front and back was no more than 50 meters.
"There are poisonous insects everywhere, try to walk as gently as possible." Wu Lin instructed in front, raised his sniper rifle and loaded it.
I said to him, "You lead the way, and if the direction is out of order, you can ask Ergou." ”
Wu Lin nodded, lowered his pace and touched straight ahead, and everyone slowly followed.
When Li Huaishan and Wu Lin stepped out of the tomb and entered the shallow water, the footsteps suddenly became very brittle, "Boom, Boom", it was like the sound of the soles of the feet stepping on the dry super glue and pulling the soles out of the rubber layer.
I couldn't help frowning, straightened the walkie-talkie hanging on my shoulder, clicked on the button and whispered, "What's the situation ahead?" ”
Li Huaishan only said half a sentence: "The ground is full of ......", and before he finished speaking, Wu Lin grabbed the conversation: "Try not to speak." ”
After all, he had entered the inner mountain once, and as soon as these words came out, Li Huaishan and I both dispelled the idea of opening our mouths and walked with our heads bored.
Out of the cemetery, I realized that the thing on the ground was not ordinary stagnant water, but a very thick layer of slime, which was not much different from super glue, and after stepping on the soles of my feet, it took some effort to lift my legs, and when I landed on my feet, the piercing crisp sound was endless.
As we walked, we looked around, and we saw a large number of bottomless caves emerging from the stone walls on both sides, the largest, that is, the size of a fist, and the smallest, that is, the width of a little finger, and the slime was constantly flowing out of these holes, merging into wisps on the stone walls, and sliding to the ground little by little.
It is estimated that these caves should all be wormholes made by wild Gu.
"It's all fixed on God, and it's time to enter the Gu Nest." Wu Lin's brief voice came from the walkie-talkie, and he only said this briefly, and only the crisp sound of the soles of his feet was left in the tunnel.
After walking more than a hundred meters, Wu Lin's voice appeared again: "Don't pay attention to the sounds around you. ”
I didn't understand what he meant at the time, until I reached the place where he had just stood, when suddenly a deep murmur pierced my ears.
The sound sounded a bit like the busy sound of a radio when it was off-frequency, and it sounded like a thousand insects waving their wings and making a buzzing sound, which was not particularly sharp and the decibel level was very low, but once it entered the ears, it made people's heads a little confused.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I immediately condensed a breath of mental power, and relied on the contemplation technique to guard the spiritual platform, so that my state of mind slowly returned from irritability to tranquility.
The walkie-talkie that Jin Xiangqian prepared for us has no frequency band distinction, as long as one person speaks, everyone else can hear it.
At this time, I heard Li Huaishan say, "What are you doing? ”
Next was Wu Lin's response: "You go yours, I'll draw a map and use it when I come out." ”
After the conversation, I heard a brief busy sound coming from the walkie-talkie, and to be honest, in such an environment, it was difficult for me to distinguish whether the busy sound came from the walkie-talkie or came from the surrounding environment.
Everyone's footsteps are relatively unified, but Dan Tuo, who has been restrained since he came in, and his speed is slower than that of Boss Yu next to him, Jin Xiangqian probably thought that he was old and his physical strength could not keep up, so he would push him behind his back from time to time to give him a little help.
Boss Jiang must have felt that something was wrong with Dantuo, and patted me, and when I looked at her, I saw her frowning from the lens of the gas mask, and when I saw me looking at her, he raised his hand and quietly nodded at Dantuo.
I shook my head at Boss Jiang because he kept quiet.
Since the two of us were a little far away from Danto, his every move could not escape our eyes, but the few people walking near him were not thinking about Danto.
In fact, I can roughly guess why Danto is like this, I remember a few days ago, he had a special chat with me once, when he mentioned that the ancestors of their lineage had buried some secrets in the inner mountains, and now that everyone has come in, he must be worried that his secrets will be discovered by us.
Along the way, I kept 12 points of vigilance, for fear of encountering a wave of insects halfway, but after walking for a long time, there was still only a large patch of mucus and dull noise, and other than that, there was no emergency.
The same environment, the same sound, and the long silence made me feel more and more uneasy.
Now I wish Wu Lin could raise his sniper rifle earlier and shoot at a certain position. The completely unaltered environment gives the illusion of being in stagnant water, wishing that an undercurrent could rise from the bottom and wash itself ashore.
After a few hours of travel, there was a fork in the tunnel in front of the tunnel, Wu Lin said on the walkie-talkie that the last time he entered the inner mountain, the overall direction of travel was close to the west, and he had found several interconnected tombs in a relatively open space, and if he continued to go deeper along one of the tombs, he could enter the Baili Lost Soul Cave.
When we first got off the ground, we were heading due west, but after walking so far, Wu Lin himself couldn't tell if the direction of the extension of the tunnel had changed, and the three-way crossing was in front of him, and he didn't know which way to choose.
Li Huaishan walked to the fork and looked carefully, chose the right path, and turned around to beckon everyone to follow.
After the three forks, there is another fork in the road that extends in eight different directions, and after this complex fork, it is another fork in the road.
With my IQ, it is impossible to remember how many forks I passed through, and I also can't remember what choices Li Huaishan made before each fork.
Right now, this Gu nest is like the veins of the human body constantly extending underground, the deeper it goes, the more difficult it is to distinguish the direction, even if it is Li Huaishan, every time he stands at the fork in the road and watches, the time becomes longer and longer.
You must know that we haven't passed through the Gu Nest yet, the most difficult part of the road in the inner mountain is the Baili Ecstasy Cave under the Gu Nest, and now I can't imagine what the so-called Ecstasy Cave looks like.
After passing through a six-way crossing, we entered a tunnel surrounded by a flat stone wall, in fact, the stone wall here is not smooth, it is still full of pits, but there are fewer holes drilled out by wild Gu, and there is obviously a lot less mucus on the ground.
When he walked to the middle section, Wu Lin suddenly raised his hand and motioned for the people behind him to stop.
At this moment, everyone became nervous, and I saw that Boss Wen and Boss Yu both took out magic weapons, and Jin Xiangqian also picked up his sniper rifle.
Wu Lin struck the ground, then squatted down, took out a dagger, and scraped a large piece of slime on the ground.
