Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Twilight King

The three of us took a short break and continued to walk into the dark, now only two flashlights were left for me and the monkey, and the backup batteries were all used up, so in order to save power, I turned off my flashlight and used only one of the monkeys for lighting.

Originally, the lighting effect of the flashlight was not good, but now it can only be used, compared to the unknown darkness in front of us, the flashlight is as small and weak as a firefly. The visibility of the flashlight is no more than three meters, and beyond three meters it looks gray.

I carefully examined the topography and found that the stone gate was still flanked by smooth stone walls thirty or forty meters high, the left side continued to extend in a clockwise direction with a certain arc, and the right side extended in a counterclockwise direction, thus forming a huge circular space, which should be about the size of two football fields from the curved arc of the stone wall. As previously deduced, it is very likely that we have reached the innermost circle of the spiral channel.

We are walking directly towards the stone gate, and as long as the direction remains the same, we should soon be able to reach the center of the circular space. The three of them groped their way forward, Kuroko walked in front with the monkey's flashlight, and the monkey and I followed closely behind, and after a while we walked into the darkness, and we could no longer see the stone gate behind us.

The feeling of groping my way in the empty and dark field by the faint light made me extremely uneasy, because unlike in the river before, there were stone walls that I could hold on, and I at least had a bottom in my heart, and here, from time to time, I felt a cold wind gusting and gloomy, and there was nothing in the surroundings that I could touch, except for the monkeys who were still shivering beside me.

I tightened the military coat on my body, put my hands in the pockets of my clothes, and deliberately shrugged my shoulders and shrunk my head, I felt a little cold, I don't know if it was caused by the biting cold wind, or because of the contemptible psychological effect of the yin and contemptible here.

Unconsciously, we have been walking for a while, the sunspot in front of us is walking and sweeping around with a flashlight, I also follow the direction of the flashlight to look around, I found that there is nothing around and is empty, and I secretly wonder in my heart, is this just a vacant land with nothing, if the big ding is placed here, wouldn't it be magnificent.

Just when I was looking left and right, I suddenly saw a black shadow standing there in a dark area swept by the sunspot's flashlight, which looked like a person, and suddenly startled me, and the sunspot's flashlight swept by, and I didn't have time to look closely, I don't know what it is. Kuroko obviously saw the black shadow as well, and he immediately swept the flashlight back and aimed it in the direction where he found the black shadow just now, and I stared at it intently, but then I found that the black shadow was gone.

I swallowed my saliva and shuddered: "Kuroko, what was that just now, did you see it clearly?" ”

Kuroko shook his head: "No, but I can conclude that it is definitely a person!" As he spoke, he swept around with his flashlight to see if the shadow was hiding somewhere else, and I immediately turned on my flashlight and followed suit.

The monkey didn't know what was going on, and was stunned by me and Kuroko's startle, and when he saw that the expressions of me and Kuroko were strict, and there was a little horror in them, he also became nervous: "Lao Yang, did you see something?" ”

I took a long breath, and then relaxed my vigilance a little: "Just now we saw a figure, and it disappeared after a swish, I don't know if it's a person or a ghost!" ”

The monkey was also shocked when he heard it: "Damn, someone really came in before us, could it be Lao Zhao!" As he spoke, he immediately searched around with me.

I also thought that the black shadow was very likely to be Lao Zhao, because the black shadow had already returned to the team, and only Lao Zhao was missing, and he was the most likely.

We searched around with our flashlights for a while, but we didn't see anything, I felt a little strange, there was nothing around here, there was nothing to cover at all, how could the black shadow disappear in such a short period of time, and there was no movement at all.

Kuroko patted the flashlight in his hand and said, "Don't care about the black shadow for now, we have to keep going, my flashlight is about to run out!" ”

I looked at the flashlight in Kuroko's hand, and saw that the light shining out was dim and weak, and I felt that it was about to go out, and I looked at the flashlight in my hand again, and it was not much better.

Kuroko beckoned us and continued into the darkness, followed by the monkey and me.

With the scene where the black shadow flashed just now, I was a little apprehensive, and I couldn't care about saving electricity at this time, so I refused to turn off my flashlight again.

In this way, we set up a triangular formation, with Kuroko exploring the way in front and acting as the vanguard, and the monkey and I followed closely behind, alternating left and right as we walked forward, making it as dramatic as a spy detective.

Unconsciously, we walked for a while, and there was no black shadow on the way, and the more the black shadow did not appear, the more tense we became, and we did not dare to relax a little.

At this moment, the sunspot in front of me suddenly stopped, and the monkey and I didn't have time to react and hit the sunspot's back directly, I immediately stood firm and calmed down, I knew that the sunspot must have found something, I and the monkey immediately stepped forward, I opened my mouth to ask, but I was shocked by the scene in front of me and couldn't close my mouth.

Right in front of our eyes, a bronze pillar with a diameter of about three meters wide rises from the ground, winding and convex from the bottom to the top, shaped like an elephant's legs, like a dragon, straight into the deep sky, and its top is not visible. The bronze pillar is carved with a variety of patterns, dense as an ant colony but clearly visible, the most peculiar is that the giant pillar is also coiled around a circle of chest-sized curly lotus oil lamps, almost half a meter from the root has been wound up.

The three of us were dumbfounded and our scalps tingled, and then the monkey Nannan said, "What the fuck is this...... Is it Optimus Prime? It is not an exaggeration for the monkey to compare this bronze pillar to Optimus Prime, and I swallowed without squeaking because I could not find a more suitable noun to describe this giant pillar than Optimus Prime.

At this time, Kuroko chuckled lightly, and I could tell from Kuroko's laughter that he was disdainful of what the monkey had just said, and he continued, "Damn, what Optimus Prime, this is a fucking leg of the Twilight King!" ”

The Shendusk King Ding that Kuroko said should be the big Ding we saw on the edge of the cliff before, but I didn't know that it had such a domineering name.

I was about to ask Kuroko for an explanation, but suddenly I heard a muffled sound behind us, followed by a loud rumbling sound that filled the sky, and Kuroko shouted: "Oh no, the human corpse has turned over the stone gate!" ”

The monkey and I were immediately stunned, we didn't expect the human corpse to come so quickly, where to flee now. I shone my flashlight behind me, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything, except for the rapid rumbling of the corpses, knowing that the corpses were coming straight towards us.

At this time, Kuroko roared: "Come and help!" I saw that Kuroko was squatting in front of the bronze giant pillar, and looked around the pillar with a flashlight to its roots, as if he was looking for something, although I didn't know what Kuroko wanted us to help with, but I still walked over quickly.

Kuroko didn't wait for me to ask, then said, "Quick, find a finger-thick wick at the base of the pillar!" Come on! I immediately answered and began to look for it, I didn't know what the wick that Kuroko wanted me to find was, and I didn't know what to look for, so I didn't ask if the situation was urgent, but I was thinking in my mind that I was looking for something as thick as a rope with a finger, and if I found it, we might be saved.

I groped around the pillar for a while, and I didn't expect to find it, and the rapid rumbling of the approach made me restless, and I didn't have the heart to look for it.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that my hand touched something like a rope, the feeling was almost exactly the same as what I imagined in my mind, I used a flashlight, only to see that it was a thin rope made of fur, protruding from the inside of the bronze pillar, only one finger was exposed, and there was a sticky and slippery liquid like oil stains on the rope on my hand, could this be the wick in Kuroko's mouth!

I immediately called Kuroko over to take a look, and Kuroko was overjoyed when he saw it: "Okay, it's really an endless road!" As he spoke, he took out his lighter, beckoned me and the monkey to stand back, and lit the string directly.

As soon as the string was lit, it quickly burned, and the core of the fire immediately drilled into the bronze pillar along the string, and then the bottom of the bronze pillar lit up with a lotus oil lamp, and almost at the same time, from the bottom to the top, all the oil lamps wrapped around the bronze pillar lit up one after another.

In less than three seconds, the oil lamp has been lit up to fifty or sixty meters high in the deep space around the giant pillar, and the majesty of the entire bronze giant pillar can be seen, right here, the lamp route is divided into three, one continues to go up around a more rugged behemoth, until it reaches the deep space that is two hundred meters high, and the other two extend horizontally to the left and right respectively, and then circle down when they reach a place about a hundred meters away, and then two other bronze giant pillars entwined by the lights appear in front of you.

Suddenly, a behemoth surrounded by lights towered in front of us, standing between heaven and earth like a monster, I saw that my scalp was numb and my eyes were dull.
