Huang Mao didn't speak, and immediately ran to the waterhole, and Cao Nan and I hurriedly followed.

When I arrived at the edge of the deep pool, I saw that the silt had just been exposed, and in some places I could see fish and insects struggling in the mud.

"The water leaked out of that black hole!" Cao Nan pointed to the dark hole in the wall of the pool and said.

My heart jumped, how could the deep pool that had existed for countless years be leaked, it was too unbelievable, looking at the live fish in the silt, it happened last night.

Could it be that the python did it?

To be able to make a hole in the wall of the pond must require considerable brute force. Otherwise, it is unheard of to leak water in the pool overnight.

"Check it out!" Huang Mao immediately walked around the edge of the pool, there was too much silt in the center of the pool, and it was too troublesome to pass through it directly.

Soon we were close to the place, and Huang Mao climbed down the stone wall that had been washed by the water, and Cao Nan and I followed.

When I got to the entrance of the cave, I saw that the edge of the Tan was a stone wall, three or four feet thick, and now it had been broken, revealing a bottomless mud hole in it.

Huang Mao looked at the stone wall carefully, pinched something on a crack in the stone wall and pulled it out, and suddenly a piece the size of a coin, the whole black flake was pinched in his hand.

"What is this?" Cao Nan and I asked at the same time.

Huang Mao glanced at us and said, "The scale armor on the python's body!" ”

My scalp was numb, it was really the damage caused by the python, so Hu Lai didn't return at that time, he must have found a big worm, or even had an emergency, and couldn't return.

The question is, what about him now?

Sensing this, all three of us looked into the dark hole, where cold air was swishing out, giving us goosebumps all over our bodies.

Cao Nan turned on the flashlight and shone it inside, but it couldn't shine at all, and the entrance of the black hole was like the mouth of a fanged giant beast. to devour everything that enters it.

"Let's ...... Shall we go in? Cao Nan swallowed and asked.

I was also terrified, I couldn't figure out that the python was inside, and as soon as we went in, it swallowed us in one gulp.

Huang Mao didn't speak, he reached out and pressed Cao Nan's flashlight down, shining a footprint on the mud surface, which was Hu Lai. The footprints are obviously over the water, but they are very deep so they are retained, and the long toe prints are very recognizable and cannot be mistaken.

The meaning is obvious, you have to go in, because Hu Lai is in.

So we all lit up the flashlight, step by step into the wormhole, and went deeper.

Hu Lai's footprints were always clear, but at the same time, we were also shocked that the corpse monster that followed Hu Lai also entered, because we also found its footprints in the later section.

The wormhole is very long, and it is obvious that the python used brute force to break through the soil layer and enter it, and the soil here is clay deep underground. Very smooth and clean, and there is no doubt about collapse.

"This is already inside the mountain!" Huang Mao said a word, and the echo echoed at both ends, making people feel a chill down their spines.

After walking for five or six minutes, we stopped. There are two holes in front, one large and one small, with the small hole in front and the large hole under the side.

The lower side of the side was obviously formed by the python burrowing downward, and it dived back into the ground, and most of the water flowed deeper into the ground along the large hole. The traces are obvious.

But what really attracted us was that little hole.

It is said that it is a hole, it is better to say that it is a gap, it was originally a wall made of bluestone, but at this moment a gap can be opened to allow two people to enter and exit, and the broken bluestone falls everywhere.

"How can there be traces of man-made inside this mountain?" Cao Nan was shocked.

I also gasped, this is clearly the python deliberately broken, it forced out of the waterhole and broke through the bluestone wall, and then successfully drilled back into the ground.

Actions and intentions at a glance.

My first reaction was that there was a mausoleum inside, and the bluestone was in the shape of a long strip, and it was built up. Artificial traces could not be more obvious.

And this is the inside of the mountain on the periphery of the Golden Basin Mountain, what will be built inside the mountain?

It can only be a mausoleum, and it is also a high-level mausoleum, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have this pattern.

I instinctively remembered the group of tomb robbers, the pythons came all the way from the Yellow River in the north to come here, could it be their conspiracy?

There are some things that people can't do, and the risks are unknown, but it's okay to drive a python to do it, and there are dangerous pythons to bear, and they are strong. Good.

If it is excavated manually, don't even think about it for two months, not to mention that there is a waterhole outside. It takes ten days and half a month to pump.

Is there any connection between Grandpa's grave and the suspected tomb here? Otherwise, why does this python always revolve around the yin house where the dead live?

"Let's go in and see, be careful, and don't shout whatever you see or hear." Huang Mao said to us very seriously.

Cao Nan and I nodded hurriedly. Follow Huang Mao to the entrance of the Qingtiao Stone Cave.

Cautiously walked to the entrance of the cave and shone a flashlight inside, and the three of us grew our mouths again.

What a mountainside space!

The flashlight shines in the past and is still bottomless!

The ground was all paved with bluestone bricks, neatly and faintly, and I saw a bridge in the deepest part of the way I could reach by flashlight.

Huang Mao looked around cautiously. Walking in, Cao Nan and I followed, and after a closer look, this space was really too tall and too big, there were no edges around, and no roofs could be seen above, and it felt like the entire mountainside had been hollowed out.

The darkness around him pressed like a thick fog, so that the light of the flashlight weakened into a candle, which could not shine too far.

"It looks like a bridge ahead!" Cao Nan said in a very low voice.

"Shh Huang Mao sighed lightly, signaled Cao Nan to stop talking, looked left and right, and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, the bridge was closer, and it was really a bridge, with eight large copper cables with thick bowls leading to the other end of the black and dull light, which was covered with green rust, and had existed for a long time at a glance, and the copper cables were also paved with heavy bluestone slabs.

There is a stele standing next to it, with eight blood-colored characters on it, the font is winding, and the ancient characters are obvious. At first glance, it looks like it was written in blood, bloody and murderous.

The font was too old, I didn't recognize it, and Cao Nan was the same, so he looked at Huang Mao at the same time.

Huang Mao read: "The iron rope is in the netherworld, and no one should enter!" ”

When I hear this, I can't help but feel a tingle down my spine, Nether? Why does it sound so evil?

I took a look around, and although I wondered what the hell this place was, I didn't have to dig deeper, and the question now was. The big worm has burrowed back into the ground, where did Hu come from?

How can there be a figure of him in the emptiness, not even a light, it can't be following the hole drilled out by the python, right?

"Hu Lai shouldn't be over, right?" In the end, I could only look at the chain bridge and ask with a numb scalp.

"Unlikely." Huang Mao shook his head and said, "Hu Lai is only interested in big insects, and if big insects burrow into the ground again, he won't go too far even if he is curious." ”

I nodded, Hu Lai is only interested in insect treasures, something is wrong here, and it is unlikely that he will cross the bridge.

"Look around and follow me." Huang Mao Road.

I said yes to Cao Nan, followed Huang Mao on the left and right, and kept using a flashlight to sweep around, looking for it.

I walked for about ten minutes and didn't find anything.

Just as I was muttering in my heart, I suddenly felt something flash out of the corner of my eye.

I immediately turned around and shone my flashlight on it, but it was nothing, empty.

"What's the situation?"

I muttered to myself, it felt like something, and I wasn't so sure, just in case, I took a closer look and didn't notice anything unusual before turning around and following back.

Results...... When I turned around, I almost peed.

There was darkness behind him, and Huang Mao and Cao Nan were gone!

It was only three or five seconds after he turned around, and when he turned around, the two of them disappeared.

The darkness all around me came rushing towards me, as if it was about to swallow me up.

I only felt a chill rush from the soles of my feet to my head, and my whole body shivered.

A good big living person, how can he disappear if he walks out seven or eight meters at most in three or five seconds?

Hit the ghost!

This was the case last time we went up the mountain, I slept well, and when I woke up, Cao Nanhe was gone.

Here we go again!

I didn't dare to go, last time I ran blindly by myself, and Huang Mao and Cao Nan couldn't catch up after me. Finally dispersed.

It must be some kind of trick played by the dirty thing, and they can't leave, so stay here and wait for the yellow hairs to come back.

But...... This is just the beginning.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of walking behind me, and I took a step.

I instinctively thought it was the yellow-haired them, and turned around like an electric shock. But I didn't see anyone.

I saw a pair of fresh footprints more than a dozen steps away, which did not belong to me, nor to Huang Mao and Cao Nan.
