After walking more than a dozen steps from the entrance of the cave to the cave, the three of them did not feel the wind blowing, indicating that there was no air flow in the cave, which proved that there was only one entrance to the cave, and the end of the cave was a dead end.

There was a dead silence in the cave, only the click of the three people's feet on the ground echoed around, and the sound of water droplets falling to the ground could be faintly heard from far and near, which was particularly crisp in this closed environment, and there was also a slight "sizzling" sound when the fire folded burning.

The entrance to the cave is not large, but the space inside is relatively spacious, about enough for two carriages to travel side by side, and the three of them look at the cave wall and the roof at the same time to prevent hidden weapons hidden in it.

The light of the fire fold is limited, and the illuminated space is also very cramped, looking at the pitch black in front of him, the wild cow pulled the sleeve of the flower girl who walked in front, and said softly: "Hua Gu, we don't know what is in this cave, it's too dangerous to go in with such a black light." ”

Hua Gu thought for a moment when she heard this, nodded, turned her head to Wu Zhiyuan and asked, "Little brother, what do you think?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and replied: "I think what Brother Manniu said makes sense, this dark environment is very unfavorable to us, besides, according to Adjutant Wang, there are about seven or eight corpses here, and now we have only eliminated one, if the remaining corpses are all in this cave, then we will be tantamount to killing ourselves." ”

"In that case, let's leave for the time being, and wait until tomorrow with torches, and then we will make a decision." Hua Gu said yes.

Wu Zhiyuan was about to nod his head in agreement, when suddenly there was a crisp sound from the side, as if a wooden stick had fallen to the ground, the sound was not loud, but the echo was very strong in this cave, which was particularly harsh.

Almost at the same time, the brute bull let out an "ouch" and scolded in his mouth: "Fuck, what's it?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and picked up a long stick on the ground near the wall of the cave, which was mixed with the height of a man, and the other was cast with a cold and shining spear head, and under the head of the spear was a red spear tassel.

"It's a spear!" Hua Gu was the first to recognize it, and she immediately wondered, "How can there be a weapon like a spear in such a place?" ”

"What's so strange about a man being able to use a spear, or a man being able to walk into this cave like we are?" Brute Bull felt unimpressed.

"That's not right." Hua Gu snatched the spear from Manniu's hand and looked at it carefully, raised her head and said, "This spear has a sharp head, the gun is brand new, and the barrel feels rough, obviously not used much, if it is a spear that has been used for a period of time, the spear head should be worn, and the gun tassel is not as bright red as this one, and the gun barrel should be relatively smooth and handy." ”

Hearing Hua Gu's delicate analysis, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but admire her meticulous observation ability, but after listening to Hua Gu's words, he suddenly felt that it seemed a little unusual for this spear to appear in such a place, and after a little thought in his mind, he said to Hua Gu and Manniu: "Let's go inside and see if there are similar weapons in this cave." ”

Hua Gu and Manniu didn't understand what Wu Zhiyuan was thinking, but seeing that he seemed to be confident, they followed Wu Zhiyuan and continued to walk towards the cave.

After walking a short distance, he found another spear, the shaft of which had broken in the middle and was abandoned on the ground.

Wu Zhiyuan picked up the broken gun and looked at it, put it on the ground again, looked into the cave, and said, "There will definitely be something found inside, let's go in and have a look." ”

Manniu was extremely reluctant, but seeing that Hua Gu agreed with Wu Zhiyuan's idea, he had no choice but to follow. The three of them walked all the way and did not find any suspicious clues, but they only walked a few dozen steps before stopping.

Ahead of you is not the end of the cave, but there are three openings.

"Three holes, what to do?" The brute bull was a little out of breath again.

"One of the three of us." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the three dark holes in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"You're fucking dead? If you want to die, don't pull Lao Tzu on your back! The brute bull was so impatient that he couldn't help it, and suddenly raised his voice and cursed, and his rude voice echoed in the depths of the cave.

The scolding stopped abruptly, and the echo in the cave gradually died out, but there was no abnormal sound other than that.

"The hearing of the corpse is the same as that of us normal people, if there were still corpses in this cave, your voice is so loud, he would have heard it a long time ago. So don't worry, I'm sure there won't be any corpses in this cave. Wu Zhiyuan's tone was extremely firm.

"The little brother is really smart." Hua Gu couldn't help but praise Wu Zhiyuan, changed her words, and said to Manniu, "The three of us have a hole for each person, go in and investigate the situation inside, if you find danger, don't fight, and return the same way immediately." ”

"Since you all said so, even if I fought for my life, I had to try." Manniu seemed to listen to Hua Gu's words very much, and when he saw Hua Gu's opinion at this time, he didn't raise any objections.

Wu Zhiyuan nodded to Hua Gu and Manniu, and walked towards the hole on the left, Manniu snorted coldly and walked into the hole on the right, and Hua Gu entered the middle hole.

This cave is completely different from the cave of Longshan Cave and the tomb of the Emperor of Yanguo, although they are all artificially excavated, but the latter two are more particular about chiseling, the cave wall is smooth, and the ground is relatively flat, but the cave wall is rough from beginning to end, and the ground is also a little uneven, it can be guessed that the people who excavated the cave do not have high requirements.

The space of the branch cave that Wu Zhiyuan walked was not large, but it was very straight, and he did not find anything abnormal all the way down. He was guessing what the purpose of this straight branch hole was, when he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a huge space not far ahead.

Wu Zhiyuan's heart was shocked, he paused for a moment, handed over the fire fold in his right hand to his left hand, and then held the peachwood sword tightly, lowered his pace and moved forward step by step.

As the distance got closer and closer, the scene in front became clearer and clearer, and Wu Zhiyuan found that this was a huge stone cave, and under the dim light of the fire fold, the brightness inside the stone cave seemed to be brighter than the outside.

Wu Zhiyuan was surprised in his heart, he clenched the wooden sword and walked towards the stone cave, his front feet had not yet fallen, he suddenly found that the ground in the stone cave was a little unusual, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this stone cave is actually a huge pool!

If he had been solid just now, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the pool by now, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and in addition to being glad, he carefully observed the situation that could be seen in the stone cave.

The ground in this stone cave is almost all dug into a pool, only around the pool, there are four stone roads that can only accommodate one person to settle down, the water in the pool is flush with the ground, the stone cave is impermeable, the water surface is calm like a mirror, although the light of the fire fold is weak, but it is reflected by the water surface, which naturally makes the stone cave more bright.

"What's the use of digging such a large pool in a cave?" Wu Zhiyuan wondered in his heart, first of all, the purpose of this pool is difficult to guess, and secondly, where does the water in this pool come from?

Wu Zhiyuan looked up at the top of the cave and found no water flowing down, could it be that the water came from the ground, and the depth of the pool had reached the distance connected to the underground water vein?

Wu Zhiyuan cautiously stepped on the stone path by the pool, walked around the stone path to the corner of the stone cave, and suddenly found that there was an oil lamp placed on the stone at the corner of the stone cave. The light of the oil lamp was much brighter than the fire fold, thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan lit the oil lamp with the fire fold, and suddenly, the corner of the stone cave became brighter, and even the situation on the opposite side could be faintly seen.

In order to determine whether the water in the pool came from the ground, Wu Zhiyuan squatted down, put the peach wood sword aside, reached out and picked up a handful of pool water, and put it in front of him to observe, only to see that although the pool water in his hand was not clear, it was not turbid, and it faintly gave people a very heavy feeling.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't know why, his hands scattered, and the water in his hands fell into the pool, and there was a "whoosh" sound, causing a ripple.

Wu Zhiyuan looked down at the ripples in the pool, the ripples were agitated, and then slowly calmed, and the water surface soon calmed down again, and his reflection was reflected on it.

Wu Zhiyuan was a casual glance, but under this glance, he couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that in addition to his own shadow on the water, there was also a person's shadow on the water!

That person was standing behind Wu Zhiyuan, a pair of dead fish-like eyes staring at him!
