Chapter 32: The Abyss

And just like that, the three of us continued to crawl into the tunnel. This time we were very careful, and I had a few more thoughts, and I tore a few pages from the monkey's notebook, and tore the paper into small pieces, and I kept some pieces of paper in the cave as I crawled, so that we would not get the wrong direction again.

Since there were no corpses chasing after us this time, our speed was not very fast, and I was able to take a closer look at the situation in the cave by the way. Along the way, I found that all the stone walls of the cave were covered with a layer of stuff, which I had inferred to hide the smell of the stinking fart. At first, we thought that this cave was dug by tomb robbers, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

The three of them had been climbing in the cave for a while, and they didn't feel very tired anymore because they didn't feel very tired. Suddenly, Lao Zhao stopped, and the monkey and I also stopped.

Lao Zhao said softly: "Here, this is where I met the sunspot!" Lao Zhao paused, and then said softly: "But he is not here now!" ”

Lao Zhao's voice was very soft, which made me a little nervous, and I also asked in a very small voice, "What should I do then?" Lao Zhao continued: "Keep walking!" ”

I wondered what was going on with this sunspot, if he really turned into a human corpse, then he should have killed us a long time ago, and if not, then he should have come back to us. Judging from the current situation, Kuroko is clearly a person who has entered the depths, is he still used to acting alone and deliberately leaving us?

It's useless to think about it now, so I can only follow Lao Zhao and continue to move forward. Crawling in the cave was really boring, and at first I would have fun with the monkeys, but then I was not even in the mood to talk, and the three of them just crawled with their heads down.

I don't know how long I climbed, but Lao Zhao in front stopped again. I was muttering if there was something wrong, but before I could ask, Lao Zhao said, "It's here!" Although it was only two short words, I could hear Lao Zhao's voice trembling.

Could it be that the end has arrived! I was thinking about it, when I found that the cave suddenly became more spacious, and I didn't think much about it, so I immediately climbed next to Lao Zhao, turned on the flashlight and looked, "Damn, what's the situation!" "I couldn't help but be surprised, my flashlight had been turned on, but it was still pitch black in front of me, and it should be said that a huge black wall appeared in front of me.

I immediately asked Lao Zhao beside me: "I said Lao Zhao, am I poisoned and blind again, why is it dark in front of my eyes!" ”

After asking this question, I realized that this was not the case, first, I didn't smell the smell of stinky farts, second, I didn't lose my hearing, and I just heard Lao Zhao speak.

I took a closer look at my surroundings and knew what was going on, and I got goosebumps all over my body.

At this time, we were on a cliff of more than ten square meters, and the place above our heads was more than two meters high and full of jagged stones, like a hole blown out of the cliff, and in front of us about one meter away was a cliff, and in front of the cliff was a very large and dark space, so big that I couldn't describe it in words, so that my flashlight shone on this area like shining on a huge black wall.

At this point, all three of us were stunned by what we saw. Out of fear and amazement at the unknown, vast, pitch-black space, the three of us cautiously climbed to the edge of the cliff, and I craned my neck to look down at the cliff. It was pitch black below, and I couldn't see anything, and from time to time there was a biting cold wind blowing up from below, and I couldn't help but shiver a little.

I shouted a few times towards the bottom of the cliff, and the sound of my shouting was as if it had been swallowed up by the endless darkness of space, and there was no response. The monkey pushed a stone of about forty or fifty pounds next to him off the cliff, and after a long time, there was no response at all, this is a bottomless abyss!

Who would have imagined that deep underground, there is an even deeper abyss, and its depth and breadth are simply unpredictable, giving you only a pure black dead silence.

At this time, the monkey took out a cold pyrotechnic from his bag and said, "Hehe, this thing has finally come in handy!" As he spoke, he lit up the dark area in front of him.

I saw that the cold fireworks rushed forward quickly like meteors, and the light emitted by the cold fireworks was extremely bright, even a little dazzling. As the fireworks continued to move forward, a bright arc was drawn in the darkness ahead, and the space around the arc was illuminated, and it was amazing that the illuminated space was more than 100 meters wide, but there was nothing in the space, just like a piece of sky! Beyond the reach of the light, there was still endless darkness.

The fireworks were still moving forward in the dark, at least two hundred meters away, which was almost the limit of the cold fireworks. Suddenly, in the farthest distance that the cold smoke could illuminate, a huge black shadow faintly appeared, and at first glance, it looked like a three-legged beast one or two hundred meters high. The fireworks continued to move forward, and as the silhouette of the giant shadow began to become clearer and clearer from its hazy state, it felt like the three-legged beast was slowly unveiling the veil of darkness and striding towards us, giving us a suffocating sense of oppression.

The cold smoke exploded at the limit of its flight range, and suddenly the fireworks in the sky were extremely dazzling, illuminating almost the entire space, and the true body of the giant shadow finally came into our eyes, it was a huge Ding, at least two hundred meters high, at least one or two kilometers away from us. Immediately we were all stunned and amazed, how could such a huge tripod appear here, this kind of shock cannot be expressed in words.

As the sparks from the cold fireworks explosion began to slowly fade, the space began to dim again, and the darkness filled the entire space like a tidal wave, and the giant shadow was once again submerged in the endless darkness.

The whole process lasted more than a minute, but the shock of this minute or so was unforgettable. At this time, the monkey and I looked at each other and did not speak, the monkey gave me a look, which meant to tell me to look at Lao Zhao, and then I found that Lao Zhao's expression was very calm, as if he was not surprised by the qiē we had just seen. I remembered the word "arrived" that Lao Zhao said before, and now I feel even more strange when I think about it. So he asked: "I said Lao Zhao, what did you mean by saying before, the end has arrived?" ”

Lao Zhao didn't answer me at first, but just stared at the dead darkness in front of him with his deep eyes, and said after a long time: "Yes! ”

Damn, it took a long time to squeeze out such a word! What the fuck does "right" mean, am I right? I muttered to myself.

Then Lao Zhao said: "Go back first, and think about it in the long run!" With that, we retreated to the platform of the cliff.

Lao Zhao was not in a hurry, took out his pipe and lit it again, and smoked it slowly. Lao Zhao was as calm as ever. I wondered, even if I was a hillbilly and hadn't seen any big scenes, but for anyone, what happened here was enough to be described by the words "unbelievable", but Lao Zhao was so calm, it seemed that everything that happened here was expected by this old fox.

The monkey finally couldn't help it: "I said Lao Zhao, do you have something to hide from us, what kind of place is this, you must know more than us, what else can't we say!" ”

I also followed Ying He and said: "Yes, yes, the monkey is right, the monkey and I are following you to hunt for treasure, but in the end, the treasure has not been found, but has been running for his life, and if you don't get it, you have to take your life on the line, you just tell us everything you know, even if we die, we will die to understand." ”

Lao Zhao's expression did not change after hearing this, only to see him knock his pipe on the stone beside him, and said with a smile: "What are you two boys thinking, what do I have to hide from you, our common purpose is to hunt for treasures, but I am older than you and have seen more things than you, so I won't make a fuss like you!" ”

Lao Zhao took another puff of cigarette and said: "However, I consulted a lot of geological exploration materials in advance before coming here, and I know that this place was a high mountain mountain a long time ago, and then collapsed due to an earthquake, so such a large enclosed space will be formed underground, these are also geological knowledge, I don't understand it very well, but now it seems that it is the same thing, so what is there to be surprised." ”

Lao Zhao's faint few words sent us away, a fool can hear that he is perfunctory us, but with my understanding of Lao Zhao, it is more difficult to ask the truth from him as soon as possible than to ascend to the sky, if Lao Zhao really has something to hide from us, it must be his reason, he will definitely choose to sue us at the most appropriate time, such things have happened before, so, the monkey and I also understand, although we have a lot of questions, but we will not force Lao Zhao to tell us, Because there are things that the later you know, the better.
