Chapter 0234 - Who's Up First?
After walking for about twenty minutes, the ghost of the little girl in red finally stopped, then turned to us and bowed again, and then disappeared.
While everyone was puzzled, I vaguely saw the outline of a building gradually emerging from the fog in front of me.
I tried to get closer to the building and found that it was an old temple.
Above the main entrance, there is also a re-framed, "General Temple" three large-character plaques written in traditional characters.
It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
It turns out that the ghost of the little girl in red has led us here just to show us the way.
It seems that something is wrong here.
I thanked the ghost of the little girl in red silently in my heart, and then entered the General's Temple first.
I saw that the huge temple had already been demolished at this time, and a five-meter-high stone statue of the general in the center also collapsed and fell in half.
At the original base, a tunnel leading to the underground was revealed.
I frowned, and I couldn't help but guess that this was the entrance to the tunnel leading to the General's Tomb.
If nothing else, the ghost mother and the countess, as well as those captured humans, have already entered the general's tomb at this time.
The thought of this made my heart sink to the bottom.
You know, there are countless zombie soldiers guarding this general's tomb.
Although after the last toss, a lot of them were killed by the giant salamander that had cultivated to perfection, there must be a lot hidden inside.
If you break in rashly, you will definitely die in nine lives.
Uncle Ma also heard me mention the general situation in the zombie cave, if only a few of us rushed in, we would undoubtedly be looking for death.
At present, the ghost mother and the countess have entered the zombie cave first, and Uncle Ma speculates that they have created so many living corpses, presumably to deal with those zombie soldiers in the zombie cave.
Therefore, we just need to lurk in secret, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then try to find the captured humans, and we are done.
Provided, of course, that the humans who were captured alive were not dead.
You must know that among these human beings, there is also Xiao Wei's father, Xiao Hongfei.
Presumably, this should be the catastrophe predicted by Old Man Xiao's mouth.
Time was urgent, so we didn't bother to rest, and after checking the equipment we were carrying, we went straight through the base and entered the tunnel.
I don't know how many times I've entered the tomb, it seems that since I got the Yin and Yang Eye, I have been dealing with these tombs, zombies, ghosts, and monsters.
Although every experience is thrilling, if you are not careful, it is very likely that this little life will be lost.
Therefore, I mustered up 120,000 points of spirit and opened the way in front of me with a wolf-eye flashlight in hand.
The tunnel was downhill and stretched for almost 100 meters before leveling off.
After about ten minutes of walking down the tunnel, we finally came to the end.
A closed vermilion lacquer gate stood in front of us, blocking the way.
Along the way, Uncle Ma estimated that our current location should be located in the mountains, and it should not be too far from the site of the general's tomb.
The gate in front of us, which seemed to be some year old, had peeled off the vermilion lacquer, revealing a rusted iron plate.
The huge brass lock on the door's nose had been broken, so I could push it open with a little force.
As the heavy gate slowly opens, we are greeted by a huge natural cave.
The cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the road ahead.
Ma Jiaqian took out a flare from her backpack and shot it into the distance.
With the bright light of the flares, I clearly saw that the cave in front of me was the zombie cave we had stumbled into by mistake.
And in the far distance, a huge and magnificent ancient attic looms, presumably the legendary general's tomb.
The flares only last about 20 to 30 seconds, and soon the darkness of the black hand is back in the cavern.
Ma Jiaqian wanted to launch another one, but I stopped her.
There are a large number of zombie soldiers lurking in this cave, and if you disturb them, you will undoubtedly kill yourself.
Besides, the ghost mother and the countess should also be in it.
If they find the light of the flares, it will also reveal our whereabouts.
We turned off all the lights, leaving only a wolf-eye flashlight to find our way, and then I took the lead, cautiously approaching the grand attic in the distance.
Along the way, I secretly opened my yin and yang eyes, carefully scouting the surrounding environment, for fear of accidentally bumping into one or two zombie soldiers.
If there is a chain reaction like last time and more zombie soldiers are provoked, then you really can't even cry.
However, the opposite is true.
Along the way, I didn't notice any movement at all.
Not even a single hair was seen on the zombie soldiers.
Could it be that last time I accidentally stumbled into the zombie cave and attracted all the zombies in the zombie cave to the giant salamander?
In this way, it is cheaper for the ghost mother and the countess!
We inadvertently cleared the outer barriers......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel depressed in my heart, but I was embarrassed to say it, for fear that Uncle Ma's big mouth couldn't help but ridicule me.
We hurried to the attic, and realized that the huge general's tomb in front of us was several times larger than we had imagined.
Not only that, but the attic is surrounded by walls and bunkers, just like an ancient military fortress.
Facing the seven or eight meters high city wall, we began to have some difficulties.
Don't you learn from the ancients to hook the city wall with a flying lock rope, and then climb up again, right?
And yet, that's exactly what happened!
I saw Ma Jiaqian take out the mountaineering rope from her backpack, as well as professional ropes and cross hooks, and then tied the rope to the cross hook, turned her arms, and threw the cross hook to the city wall.
After making sure that the cross hook was fixed strong enough, Ma Jiaqian turned her head and asked me:
"Who's going first?"
I was so embarrassed that it obviously meant that I went up first.
Although I had enough strength, I had never climbed before.
In desperation, I had to make a low gesture that you invited first.
Ma Jiaqian smiled playfully at me, nodded, tied the other end of the rope directly around her waist, and then began to climb with her bare hands.
After hundreds of years of erosion, the surface of this city wall has been potholed, and Ma Jiaqian climbed up with agility through these sunken potholes and cracks between the walls.
No wonder Uncle Ma would be willing to take her, she is really athletic.
When we all saw it, we couldn't help but praise it, you must know that this freehand rock climbing is not something that anyone can perform casually.
In addition to rich experience, it is also necessary to have a strong psychological endurance, as well as courage.
After all, this kind of extreme sports often comes with high risks, and if you are not careful, the accident will be very scary.
Fortunately, Ma Jiaqian's quality in this regard is far beyond ordinary people, and on the premise that we are sweating for her, she has successfully climbed the city wall.
