I was about to tell her to be careful about her step, but it was too late, and the hand suddenly grabbed Liu Ran's calf and pulled it into the dark.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, we glanced at each other, and walked briskly one after the other, stepping on the viscous liquid under our feet, and we couldn't speed up much faster.

I don't know if Liu Ran can hold on until we rush over to save him, but even so, we have to fight, and we are praying in our hearts, she has to hold on!

I didn't know what kind of monster it was with the hand stretched out in the shadow, so I pulled the zipper of my backpack as I walked and pulled a knife out of it.

Because we have known for a long time that we are here for an expedition, although we have not been able to bring many thermal weapons, we have prepared enough knives for such a small object.

I remember the last time I went to rummage through the backpack, I turned out several daggers alone, but they were of different shapes, so I guess each has its own use?

But now that this thing is in my hands, I don't have time to care what it's for, just get my hands on it.

I raised my hand and tried to keep the flashlight on a parallel line, not daring to look away.

Under the light, I saw that after Liu Ran was grabbed by the thing, he first used his legs to try to drag the thing up from the pit.

However, such a big move of her was completely futile, because the thing was sunk in the pit, and its strength seemed to be no less than that of Liu Ran. She tried so hard, not only did she not help, but she planted herself and almost fell into the pit.

I don't know how deep this pit is, the mouth of the pit is very large, and at a cursory glance it looks like two or three meters, and when we walked over, we saw that the hand stretched out from the edge of the pit.

With her strength, she couldn't pull that thing up from the inside, which showed how much power it was to compete with, and if you didn't identify it carefully, it was really easy to make people feel as if that hand had grown out of a pit.

Knowing that it was unlikely that we would be able to pull it out with external force, we didn't waste our efforts and just crouched down and tried to use the knife to deal with that arm.

It was only when I got so close that I could see that the arm was dry like a claw in the light, and the skin was turquoise, with a strange layer of writing on it.

I didn't have time to look closely at this because of the urgency of the situation, so I swung my knife at the thing, the sharp edge of the knife cutting down the dry skin of the arm.

At the cut of the hand, the blackened hand bones were revealed, and the bones were brittle, but looking at the strength just now, I couldn't believe that it would be a dry bone.

After gaining freedom, Liu Ran also turned his head, and as soon as he glanced at that arm, he said nervously, "This is the Yin prisoner, and his body is tattooed with Lingwen, a kind of text that communicates with the dead!" ”

Hearing her say this, he seemed to know a lot about this, so he cast an inquiring glance at her, although he had heard that in ancient times there was a tattoo on the prisoner's body, but what was the situation of this prisoner?

Is it a posthumous criminal? But after a person dies, the three souls dissipate, how can it be possible to know this?

Shaking his head, he saw Liu Ran looking elsewhere, following her flashlight, there were such pits everywhere.

"They are all imprisoned here, they were fed to the hive before they were born, and their souls dissolved here after death, and they can't leave, let alone be reincarnated."

The living were thrown into the pit here, and their bodies were tattooed with soul-imprisoning spiritual texts, what kind of evil things did they do to be tortured like this!

I can't imagine how many other prisoners like the Yin Prisoner we just found, or how many souls are stranded here in this pit around the world.

They don't know how long they've been dead, they don't know how many years they've been trapped here, being a part of this place, struggling in the dark, bound by the resentments around them, trying to pull down more companions.

"Let's get out of here!" Dongfang said and was about to walk forward, but at this moment, another strange hand suddenly stretched out from another pit and grabbed Dongfang.

When I saw that something was wrong, I immediately reached out and pulled him over, and I escaped the difficulty just now.

There is a lot of danger here, and if we want to leave, we have to be very careful, because from those pits we don't know when, a hand will suddenly reach out, or even more, and we can't hide.

Those prisoners have grown together with this place, and if we are pulled down by those hands, I am afraid that we will never want to climb up alive.

It's very dangerous to stay here, so we all retreated, and after returning to the place where there were no Yin prisoners, we began to discuss, the hands in the pit will only reach out to catch people if they are alarmed, if we try to walk along the edge of the pit, away from the Yin prisoners, we should still be able to dodge!

It's just that the number here is also a bit too much, and at a glance, there are dozens of pits that appear under the flashlight, and I don't know if there are two and above in a single pit.

We've only found the edges of these pits, and there's still a certain distance between them, but they're much denser inside.

Speaking of which, there is no good way, it seems that the only feasible thing at the moment is the original idea - we are tentatively going deeper inside, luring out the Yin Prisoner, and after breaking through each one, we have sought to be foolproof.

But that would be a lot of time and energy for us to spend here, so it's just a matter of making a decision.

I was a little impatient when the discussion went on to no avail, but in a moment's time, I suddenly heard a rustling sound, and the flashlight subconsciously waved around, looking for the source of the sound in the darkness.

When the flashlight shone into the hole not far away, I screamed, pointed to the hole, and said, "Rats, those rats that eat corpses!" ”

When they heard this, they all looked at it. My heart is completely cold, now it's okay, we don't have to go to the thunder ourselves, there are these little things, open the way for us.

But there are joys and sorrows, and it would be better if there were fewer of them, so that we would not be their mouths.

Seeing these black-haired brutes, the three of us didn't even think about it, so we hurriedly retreated and retreated to the position where we first entered.

How did these rats survive here, I guess I can guess, they must be carnivorous, and how can they let go of a piece of fat stored here?

And those skeletons, the meat on them should be their snacks.

In the catacombs, such a group of wild rats eat everything, and the virus on their bodies, as well as the desire to eat meat, must be the strongest.

When we meet them, let alone us, I'm afraid that an elephant can be gnawed into a bone frame by them.

Their numbers were like a black tide, and after overflowing the hole, they spread out like a carpet around them, but fortunately, those Yin prisoners made a huge front in front of us, temporarily blocking their attack.

When the army of rats stepped into this place, several black arms quickly stretched out from the pit, but as soon as they grabbed one, there were already second, third, and fourth ones rushing over quickly?

After crawling on those arms, they quickly gnawed, the rat teeth that came out of their mouths, under the black fur, kept opening and closing, gnawing the skin on the bones, but as the arms struggled, twisted and pulled the mice in their hands down, and some of the mice that were still gnawing on the bones were also taken down, and they all fell into those viscous liquids.

The black fur is covered in a transparent liquid, and they keep climbing around, eating the flesh and skin around them, and a large amount of liquid flows out of them until they completely sink into the pit.

Our flashlight flashed over the blackened mouse, and finally, everyone's eyes were fixed on a intestine-like thing coiled on one side of the flesh wall.

It was hovering right in front of us and extending out of us, and if we could crawl down this place, we would be able to dodge the rat army from the air.

However, looking at the slippery sausage, I felt a tumbling in my stomach again, and I finally suppressed the vomit, and I allowed myself to think of it as a stone pillar or a beam, and in any case not to think of other living creatures.

After convincing himself in this way, Dongfang took the lead in passing, put on gloves, slowly climbed up, and shook again, feeling that the load bearing was not bad, and it should be able to let us go together.

This time, I didn't dare to go first, so I let them go first, and I told myself again and again in my heart that it was just a pillar, and everyone else went up, don't be cowardly at this time!

Thinking like this, I dared to climb up this ...... slowly Stone pillar, and read his name in his heart.

It felt better to crawl like this, but the damn thing, it twitched a few times from time to time, and I almost didn't slide down.

I hugged the pillar tightly, but the closer I got, the more I could feel the strange aura emanating from the pillar, and this breath also made me feel a tumbling in my stomach, but now is really not the time, I have to tell myself hard, don't drop the chain.

The pillar was long, long, and I moved my body carefully, but I heard the squeaking of the rats below, the sound of chewing flesh, and it really sounded unreassuring at such times.

When I heard the voice, I felt my scalp tingle, but I still beat my spirits and told myself not to think about it, it was all a noise.

Speaking of which, I feel like a mess of thoughts in my head, and I don't dare to think about everything that is happening around me, and the only thing I can keep is my body.

As I crawled forward along the slightly squirming pillar, I felt my heart begin to settle when I saw the front gradually approaching a hole.

Twenty meters ...... Eighteen meters ...... Fifteen meters, the distance was constantly narrowed, and at the same time, the light in front of it began to become bright and clear.

Finally, Liu Ran, who was at the forefront, climbed to the opposite side, but there was still a certain distance between the stone pillar and the entrance of the cave.

She took a flashlight and took a picture of the hole below, and when she saw that there were no rats crawling in again, she began to pull out the rope from the backpack behind her.

There are two kinds of rope we bring, one is the kind of wire rope, and the other is the hemp rope after special processing, the weight is lighter, but the rope is very thick, and the willfulness is also very good, and the maximum bearing is about 200 catties.

Ready, she threw one end of the rope to us and let us tie it to the post with help, while she herself pulled the other end of the rope and carefully climbed down as she lay the rope.

Being strangled by the rope like this, a deep rope mark was immediately stretched out on the pillar, as if the pillar would be torn off at any time, but I know that this rope is very thick, and it is relatively uniform in the vicinity, and it will not concentrate all the center of gravity at one point, so even if it is supported by some relatively fragile wooden beams, this kind of rope also has certain advantages.

Although it is hemp rope, a large number of elastic fibers are added to it, which effectively spreads the force to the surroundings and ensures the uniformity of load-bearing.

But even so, there are still too many theories, and I haven't calculated its load-bearing capacity in combination with the actual situation, so when I saw this, I tried to pull up the rope and transfer part of the gravity to me, so as to protect myself.

However, the sudden increase in force still made the place around me tremble slightly downward a few times, and then the force from the body and the rope suppressed the beating force of the pillar, and in this way, we were at a stalemate.

Dongfang flashed a flashlight in front of me, and under the pillar of light, I saw that Liu Ran finally climbed into the air parallel to the entrance of the cave, and tried to find the point of focus, pressing one foot against the stone wall at the edge of the hole, while the other foot tentatively stood inside the hole.

"Are you alright?" I felt the power in my hand gradually disappear, and then I slowly let go of the rope, thinking that she had landed on the ground, but just as I finished asking, the rope suddenly tightened again, and a pull came again.

I didn't even pay attention, and the rope sank deep into the pillar in my hand, and a thick layer of liquid leached out of it.

I couldn't say it in my heart, and I was about to reach out to pull it, when I felt that the whole pillar shook suddenly, and the frequency of the shaking this time was also very sudden, and it almost didn't shake me down.

There was more and more viscous liquid around me, and I didn't care about thinking too much, so I fixed my body before grabbing the rope with one hand and hugging the pillar with the other.

I couldn't help but slide backwards by the shake just now, and now I had some difficulty holding on to the rope, but just as I was about to climb up a little more, I felt that the rope was tighter.

Just around the rope, the pillar was also crumbling, and where it had been tightened, it began to jump slightly, shaking off the liquid on it a few times.
