Chapter Eighty-Four: The Secret Passage
It turned out that Liu Wenfei was too worried, the two of them walked around in the fog for a long time, Liu Wenfei felt that they almost circled around the manor, but nothing happened, although there were a few bluestone roads in the huge manor, but no houses were found, not even a patrol soldier found.
Suddenly, Liu Wenfei tripped over something under his feet, Liu Wenfei looked down carefully, it turned out to be a protruding bluestone slab, engraved with a few big characters, Liu Wenfei carefully identified these words as "Liu Yao", at this time the text of the human race, these two words prove his origin, "Liu" is the surname of the human race, which makes Liu Wenfei feel even more strange, how can there be a human text in the elf forest?
Lin didn't understand the meaning of "Liu Yao", and Liu Wenfei said: "At this time, there is a material used by the human race to build buildings, and the government stipulates that the owner of the workshop that produces this material will engrave his surname on it, in case something goes wrong, the owner can have evidence to claim compensation." ”
This is a stone road paved with bluestone slabs, wider than the previous roads, Liu Wenfei walked along the stone road inside, and gradually found that the dense fog gradually diluted, and the more he went inside, the smaller the fog. In the end, the two walked out of the thick fog, and through the hazy moonlight, Liu Wenfei found that there was really not even a house in this place, and the surroundings were empty, only a few lights faintly revealed in front of him.
Liu Wenfei walked in the direction of the bright light, and gradually Liu Wenfei found that it was not a house, but a cave, and the bright light came from the cave, the entrance of the cave was very large, three zhang high, two zhang wide, and the entrance of the cave was not guarded.
Liu Wenfei and Lin entered the cave, he didn't expect that the space inside was larger, there were strange stones more than ten zhang high in the cave, suddenly a sound came from inside, the two quickly hid behind a stone, a team of elf guards held silver line guns, slowly walked out from inside, these soldiers looked very relaxed, maybe they didn't think that someone would be able to find here, Liu Wenfei thought to himself.
Suddenly, a convoy rumbled out from the depths of the cave, Liu Wenfei hid in the dark and observed carefully, and found that this was the convoy he had seen before, but the things on the car were gone.
Waiting for the convoy to pass, Liu Wenfei and the two quietly walked towards the depths of the cave, the light in front of them became more and more obvious, and the sound of people talking kept coming, Liu Wenfei quietly walked along the stone wall in the direction of the sound. I saw a huge grotto suddenly appear in front of me, and the space was large enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people.
Liu Wenfei leaned against the wall and quietly looked inside, only to see that there was a small stone gate on the opposite side of the grotto that had just accommodated a carriage to pass through.
Liu Wenfei noticed that there were piles of long bows and piles of blood-drinking arrows and other weapons neatly arranged on the ground, in addition to the two people before, there were several Terrans here, everyone was dressed as a businessman, but judging from their figures, they were all people who practiced martial arts. These men constantly carried weapons, bows and arrows onto the wagons and carried them into the stone gate.
Liu Wenfei first made a judgment in his heart, this should be a secret passage to the human world, and these people should be doing business with the elves. According to Lin, the Emperor forbade the elves from all contact with the outside world, but in order to be able to obtain the necessary items of the human world, the elves had to pass through the ghost market, he did not expect that there was a passage to the human world here, and more importantly, they even started to trade weapons with humans.
And judging from the number of these weapons, which is enough to equip 10,000 troops, who would buy so many weapons and bows and arrows? It will not be an official army, because all the emperors must have the support of the Emperor of Heaven in order to maintain their rule for a long time, and the emperor will not offend the Emperor of Heaven because of this, and the other monarchs do not dare to take such a risk. Liu Wenfei really couldn't think of anyone who had the guts to do this.
The two watched as the group carried cartloads of weapons away, and then the men cleared the entire cave as if no one had ever been here, and the Terrans cleared the cave and then left the cave through the stone gate.
Liu Wenfei originally planned to go out from the stone gate to find out, but just when Liu Wenfei wanted to go down, there was a sudden loud noise, and the mountains on both sides suddenly shook violently and slowly closed, and the stone gate closed, leaving only an uneven wall in its place.
Liu Wenfei and the two entered the cave to look around, except for some ruts, they did not find any valuable information, it turned out that this was just a transit station, and there was no storage of weapons, so the two could only return the same way.
When the two of them came out of the cave, they found that it was already dark, and they could clearly see the scene in the courtyard. It turned out that the whole courtyard was just a wall, there were no other buildings in the courtyard, and behind him was a stone mountain more than 100 zhang high. In front of the mountain is a forest, so dense that it is impossible to see the location of the mountain from the outside.
The two returned along the original stone path, and when they approached the courtyard wall, Liu Wenfei suddenly was full of soldiers standing under the courtyard wall, and the soldiers almost surrounded the entire courtyard. It turned out that there were also a few guards guarding the place where he climbed over the wall, and Liu Wenfei didn't notice the presence of guards around him when he came in.
Coincidentally, when Liu Wenfei and the two jumped over the wall and came in, it happened to be the time when the two shifts of guards were handed over, and at that time, due to the laxity of the guards, there was a blank period in the middle, and Liu Wenfei just caught up with this blank period, and after the two jumped in, they hurriedly walked to the depths of the courtyard and did not meet the soldiers guarding the courtyard wall.
And now, the two of them were tightly surrounded by soldiers in the courtyard, Liu Wenfei wondered, the convoy had left, why didn't these guards leave, did there still be something in the cave that needed to be guarded? Since they couldn't go, Liu Wenfei and the others could only retreat to the cave to make another plan.
When he came in before, Liu Wenfei only cared about looking for the whereabouts of the convoy, and did not observe the cave carefully, now since they can't get out, the two simply go back and forth in the cave, fortunately, the cave is empty at this time, it seems that after transporting those bows and arrows, these soldiers did not think that there would be other people in the cave.
Liu Wenfei and the two walked around the cave for most of the day, the whole cave is much more complicated than the two imagined before, there are many caves in it, and it is like a maze full of forks in the road, if you are not careful, you will get lost, Liu Wenfei can only mark the intersection you have walked through.
Just as the two of them were walking around, there was a sudden whirring wind from the front, "Is there an exit inside?" But after listening carefully, I found that it was not the sound of the wind, but the sound of some kind of animal, the more you went inside, the more obvious the sound became, and there was a foul smell in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the two came to the two stone doors, the sound came from inside, Liu Wenfei looked in through the crack in the door, and vaguely felt that there was a burst of light inside, but because the crack in the door was too small to see the situation inside, he could only hear a rough wheezing sound.
Liu Wenfei searched carefully next to the door, and found a stone pillar protruding from the wall not far from the door, "This key is too obvious." Liu Wenfei whispered, then reached out and pressed it, only to hear the sound of a boulder rubbing, and the stone door suddenly opened.
Lynn replied, "Maybe the door wasn't meant to prevent people from entering. ”
Liu Wenfei looked back at Lin and walked in. As soon as the two entered, the stone door then closed. Sure enough, as Lynn said, the gate wasn't set up to prevent people from entering.
The scene in front of him stunned Liu Wenfei and the others, this is a huge grotto, the space is large enough to accommodate dozens of unicorn pterosaurs flying back and forth in the cave, in addition to these pterosaurs, Liu Wenfei also saw more than a dozen huge purple leopards, unicorns and rare beasts that he had never seen before.
For these spirit beasts, Lin has never seen them before, although there are many strange beasts in the extreme north, but they are also some local creatures, these spirit beasts should belong to the human world, because he was told since he was a child that elves cannot contact the spirit beasts of the human world, which will kill himself, so, Lin has never seen a spirit beast since he was a child.
Lin curiously observed these spirit beasts that he had only heard of in legends, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke a red-feathered horse close to him, this action made Liu Wenfei break out in a cold sweat, you must know that although the wild spirit beast is docile on the surface, it will launch a fierce attack once it senses the threat.
But it was obvious that these spirit beasts had no intention of attacking them, it seemed that they were all artificially domesticated spirit beasts, otherwise the two would have been torn to pieces.
Liu Wenfei didn't expect to be able to see so many spirit beasts here at the same time, and they were also high-level spirit beasts. The two of them cautiously walked through the spirit beasts around them, trying not to disturb them as much as possible, and found that there was a stone gate in front of them, which was bigger and thicker than the stone gate just now. Obviously, this stone gate was not set up by people, because Liu Wenfei still found the key easily and opened the stone door.
As soon as the stone gate opened, a sudden heat wave gushed out from inside, and the spirit beasts behind him screamed and ran in the opposite direction, as far away from the stone gate as possible, as if disaster had struck.
Liu Wenfei felt very strange and worried at the same time, so he reminded Lin to be vigilant. The two of them took precautions and walked into the stone gate vigilantly, only to see that the space inside was gradually becoming smaller, like a trumpet-shaped tunnel, and only one person could barely stand at the smallest point, the sound in the cave was getting louder and louder, and the air around them was getting hotter and hotter.
Turning a corner, a huge cavern appeared in front of the two of them, and they saw a huge purple winged wyvern fluttering its wings in mid-air, but its feet were locked and fixed to the ground by heavy iron locks. From time to time, the flying dragon's mouth spewed blazing flames, and although the two of them were dozens of meters away from the flying dragon, they could still feel the heat of the flames.
Through the blazing flames, Liu Wenfei found that not far from the flying dragon, there was a person holding a bow and arrows and constantly firing arrows with blue-purple light at the flying dragon. Liu Wenfei fixed his eyes and saw that it was the elf king, which was somewhat unexpected by Liu Wenfei.
I saw that the elf king kept shooting arrows at the flying dragon one by one, although the flying dragon's body was huge, but for the elf king's arrows, the flying dragon seemed to be very afraid, constantly flapping its wings to try to block the flying arrows.
The elf king flew up and down around the flying dragon, the speed was not seen in Liu Wenfei's life, and the two took advantage of the elf king's inattention, quietly sneaked into the stone cave, hid behind a big rock, and quietly observed everything in the cave.
