Chapter 32: The Secret Passage

The monitor lizard's movements stopped, its head slightly raised, and the pair of open wings behind its head were fully open, making its head look like a radar.

It maintained this movement like this, motionless, which made Sun Yang, who was lying in the pile of rubbles directly in front of him, continue to lie on his stomach.

Bats are said to be able to fly freely in a room full of bells without touching any of them, and Sun Yang doesn't know if this is a story made up by the brick family, but it at least shows that animals that survive in the dark in this way are no slower than those that live in the sun.

Sun Yang watched it carefully, and with its size, it shouldn't be possible to move along the steep mountain wall like a gecko, which meant that somewhere they didn't see it, there should be a path for it to move freely.

How did it survive in such an underground? Is it feeding on those pythons? Sun Yang thought wildly.

The monitor lizard in front of him seemed to be asleep, and kept that motionless, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he had just seen its movements, in the dim light of the fire, it might have easily been mistaken for a sculpture.

Only the muffled screams that rang out from time to time reminded him that the thing was still looking for him.

This thing might be able to wait here for an hour, two hours, or even a whole day, and Sun Yang knew that many reptiles could stay motionless for a long time after a full meal. But he didn't have the capital to spend it like this, Lu Xiaoling was still trapped under the cliff, and Master Cao and Huang Dou were still missing.

Think of a way.

He carefully and slowly moved through the pile of rocks, looking for a rock large enough, and then in the interval between the two calls of the monitor lizard, he threw it towards the opposite rock wall.

Syllable!

The sound caught its attention, and it quickly turned its head, but as there was no follow-up sound, it stopped where it was, and did not make any move.

Sun Yang threw the stone at that place again, and then again, the monitor lizard suddenly moved.

The moment it went from standstill to the moment it sprang out, it catapulted violently like a spring, but after this pounce, its huge body became a huge burden, making its movements inevitably sluggish.

It is an animal that is good at ambushing but not good at chasing.

With such an absolute speed, Sun Yang was sure that as long as there was enough distance, he would definitely be able to escape from its mouth, but the problem was that he couldn't just leave Lu Xiaoling behind.

He continued to throw the stone into the distance, the monitor lizard followed the direction of the sound, and Sun Yang carefully crawled out of his hiding place, clinging to the ground and quickly running to the place where the rope was fixed.

The end of the rope was tightly tied, but he didn't know if such a cowhide would be able to carry the weight of two people.

Don't make any noise at this time!

He carefully tried to pull the rope, but there was no difficulty underneath, so he put the rest down, grabbed the rope tightly with both hands, wrapped the rope around the surface of his feet with both feet, and slowly slid down.

Don't make a sound!

He prayed in his heart.

Lu Xiaoling hasn't made a sound since the moment she reported her safety just now, and more than ten minutes have passed, will she not be able to help it? If that's the case, it's all over.

Under the cliff is a reverse angle, when he crossed that plane, the light suddenly dimmed, in such a completely no light environment, even if he opened the eyes of the sky, he could hardly see anything, he clamped the rope with his foot, quickly slid down almost ten meters, and then wrapped the rope around his feet to fix it, and called softly: "Lu Xiaoling? ”

There was no answer.

Sun Yang's heart suddenly became nervous, where did she go?

He made a loop around his hand and temporarily secured it, reached behind his back and pulled out the lighter.

In the faint light of the fire, he saw a hole not far in front of him.

She went in?

Sun Yang began to shake his body in mid-air, constantly making movements of tightening and unfolding, and slowly swung himself towards the entrance of the cave.

"Lu Xiaoling?" But when he finally stepped into the hole, he called softly again, but again did not answer.

He carefully put away the rope, tied one end to a stalagmite at the entrance of the cave, lit a torch and walked slowly into the cave.

This is obviously not a completely natural cave, and traces of artificial excavation and enlargement can be seen everywhere around, but the further you go inside, the narrower the cave becomes, and in the end you can only bend over and half-crouch forward.

The only thing that pleased him was that there were no forks in the tunnel.

After walking about three or four hundred meters, he finally saw a figure lying on the ground in front of him.

"Lu Xiaoling?"

"Shh Lu Xiaoling immediately turned around. "Put out the torches." She whispered.

Sun Yang extinguished the torch and silently crawled to her side, not far in front of him there was a fire flickering, he found himself at the top of a huge cave, at least more than twenty meters above the ground, and below, it was clearly an altar built in the underground space.

The torches on both sides of the altar had been lit, and a man was kneeling in front of the huge statue on the altar, muttering a word.

"Baron?" Sun Yang said in surprise. "What is he doing?"

"I just came here, too." Lu Xiaoling whispered. "What happened up there?"

"There is a monitor lizard more than ten meters long."

"More than a dozen meters?" Lu Xiaoling was taken aback. "You killed it?"

"Just lured it away." Sun Yang said. "We have to find a way to go down, no matter what he's doing, it's not going to be a good thing, we must stop him!"

Lu Xiaoling nodded and pointed to the left.

There was a path carved out of the rock wall, but it was not clear where it led.

"I'm in front." Sun Yang said in a low voice.

The two of them cautiously walked along the mountain wall, some places could not be called roads at all, except that there were a few stone caves on the rock wall where they could put their feet and pull their hands, and in such a faint light, it was almost unrecognizable. If it weren't for Sun Yang's Heavenly Eye being able to see the surroundings clearly with a little light, they might not have been able to go on at all.

Barong's deep voice began to come faintly, and Sun Yang couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that he had slashed his arm with a dagger and dripped blood into a stone cup in front of the altar, as if he was performing some kind of evil ritual.

At this moment, a stone cave with his feet suddenly collapsed, and he suddenly lost his balance, his right hand and both feet were suspended in mid-air, and he barely held a stone cave with only his left hand.

"Who?" Baron asked in alarm.

Sun Yang desperately looked for a place to borrow strength in mid-air, and Lu Xiaoling quickly followed from behind, grabbed his backpack from behind, and lifted him up.

"It's you!" Baron had seen them by this time, and he smirked. "Very well, there will be enough sacrifices now!"

Sun Yang finally stood up again with the help of Lu Xiaoling, but the piercing sound of the insect flute had already sounded!
