Liu Shangang probably also felt that there was no other way now, so he nodded helplessly.

I didn't say anything more, and walked to the left side of the stele with a flashlight, and at this time Dorjee didn't know the way, so he obediently followed me.

But not long after leaving, I suddenly remembered one thing, Dorjee had said before, when it came here before, it had also seen some stone tablets, but there were no words on the stone tablets, and it was walking in the right direction at that time. But at this time, the stone tablet that appeared next to me was engraved with a large number of ancient characters, that is, we have completely deviated from the line between the stone gate and the demon pestle, and we don't know where we have come.

Moreover, Dorjee also said that after it entered here, it could see the light clearly at first, and it was not until it walked near the demon pestle that it could barely see the light.

But we didn't see any light above us from the moment we came in. Did we go the wrong way in the first place? This is impossible, no matter how much we deviate from the direction as we travel, but there is only one stone gate here.

In that case, why don't we see the light? It's noon, and it's the best time to shine, and if the sun of other hours can shine through the springs, then it must be okay now.

Therefore, there is only one explanation for the fact that you can't see the light, and that is that someone has blocked the spring.

It can't be that someone outside did this, after all, the people who are guarding outside now are their own people, I don't believe that Uncle Ke or Mr. Sun can do this kind of thing, and it is even more impossible for Xian'er and Luo Fei.

Then there is only one possibility, someone has blocked the light source inside. At this time, I suddenly remembered the armored corpse that had led us to the stone gate, and when we opened the stone door a few hours ago, the hole at the bottom of the door was still there.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be vigilant and told Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang to be careful, and then I asked Dorjee: "Dorjee, when you came here in the past, could you see the light as soon as you entered the stone gate?" ”

Dorjee "wooed", which was a negative answer.

I asked it again, "Do you have to walk a long way to see the light?" Which direction can you go? ”

Dorjee nodded vigorously.

Dorjee's response once again confirmed my suspicion that in the past, if in the past, you could see the light by walking a few steps in any direction, but now we have walked for so long and have not seen the light source. The only explanation is that there is a problem with the light source itself.

At this time, I suddenly had a very bad feeling. Something had already sensed our presence, and at this time, it seemed that a pair of eyes were hiding in the depths of the darkness, staring at us coldly.

Maybe there is more than one pair of such eyes.

This kind of thing, the more I think about it, the more it makes people feel hairy. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, then slowed down, deliberately muffling my voice as I walked, as if I could hide my tracks if I did.

In fact, I also know very well in my heart that as long as we turn on the flashlight, we will be completely exposed to this darkness.

Every time I walked, I had to shine a flashlight on Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang to make sure they weren't left behind.

In this endless darkness, the flashlight could only illuminate a small section of the ground in front of us, and I could barely see anything other than the palm of my hand, and as time passed, the little tension in my heart was constantly amplified.

I don't know how long it took for us to finally find the second stele, which was even larger than the previous one, and I scanned it several times with a flashlight, but I didn't see the text. And near this stone monument, you can smell a very pungent odor, which emanates from the ground.

I took out the map and looked for two adjacent steles with very different sizes, and as luck would have it, there were only about thirty pairs of steles like this, which was a little less than I expected.

At this moment, Liang Houzai, who was walking at the back, suddenly said to himself: "What is this? ”

I immediately turned around and saw that he had shone the light of his flashlight directly on the ground, and on the ground illuminated by the white light, there were some very scattered ravines, and those ravines were very shallow, each one a centimeter wide, and it looked like the scratches of some kind of animal.

And where the scratches appeared, the stench became stronger. It seems that directly below this scratch should be the source of the stench.

Liu Shangang immediately took out the sapper shovel, and as soon as the shovel plunged into the soil, I heard a crisp sound of "click" under the soil, as if the bones had been cut off by the shovel.

Liu Shangang didn't care about this, and went down with a few shovels, the soil was turned over, a pile of rotting fish bones was dug out, and a thick smell filled the air.

Liang Houzai pinched his nose, looked at the fish bones, and said to me: "These bones are old and new, and the new ones have been buried for no more than a day." Judging by the width of the scratches, it is possible that the area is inhabited by some kind of large canine. ”

Canines generally have a habit of burying their food in the soil, but when I shone a flashlight at Dorjee, his eyes were full of disgust as he looked at the rotting fish bones.

I said to Liu Shangang: "The area that can be illuminated by the flashlight is too narrow, are there any other lighting equipment?" ”

There are unknown canines here, and no one knows if they are aggressive or not, and if they do, we have to find a way to prevent them. With only flashlights, our vision range is only a long area in front of us due to the narrow range of the beam, and it is difficult for us to react in the first place if the beast attacks us from the side that is completely uncovered by optical fibers.

In fact, the best lighting in such a place is a headlamp, which can not only illuminate the front, but also a part of the surrounding area, and more importantly, carry that kind of thing to free both hands.

Although it was difficult to get a lot of things on the ranch, Liu Shangang still didn't disappoint us, he didn't get a headlamp, but he got a very primitive lighting device: torches.

I saw a couple of wet sticks stuck behind his back before I came in, and I didn't know what he was going to do, until now, when he took the tarpaulin out of a metal box and tied it to the front of the stick, I realized that he had prepared the wet sticks for the torches.

After Liu Shangang lit the torch, the slightly beating light of the fire immediately illuminated a large area around us, and even the temperature rose a little.

Due to the high diffusion of the firelight, it was enough for Liu Shangang to hold one by himself, while Liang Houzai and I were still playing flashlights.

The third stele was so close to us that we found it in less than half an hour, this stele was much smaller than the first two, and the pungent smell of rancid smell still wafted from the vicinity of the stele.

I sifted through the more than thirty pairs of steles I found earlier, and only nine of them had a third stele that was much smaller than them in the vicinity.

Putting away the map, I said to Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai: "It seems that our luck is still good, and it is estimated that we will be able to determine the location soon." ”

At this time, Liu Shangang said to me: "These stone tablets seem to be magnets." ”

I looked at the stone tablet beside me, and expected to ask Liu Shangang: "How do you know?" ”

Liu Shangang shook the metal watch on his wrist: "This watch is specially made, it can feel magnetism, every time I get close to these stone tablets, I feel a force that leads my wrist to the side of the stone tablet." ”

At the mention of watches, I couldn't help but ask, "How long have we been in?" ”

Liu Shangang: "I came in around twelve o'clock, and it's already nine o'clock in the evening." ”

Been in for so long?

If it weren't for Liu Shangang saying that we had been walking in the dark for nine hours, I might not have felt anything, but after he said this, I suddenly felt a little tired, so I suggested that everyone rest in place and eat something first.

When eating, we realized that we had overlooked a very important thing, that is, the amount of food in Dorjee.

Since Liu Shangang was usually used to preparing rations for only the three of us, when he came in this time, he forgot to prepare Dorjee's food.

There is no way, we can't let Dorjee be so hungry, we can only give our own food to Dorjee, and Dorjee seems to be aware of our embarrassment, this meal, it is obviously much smaller than usual.

But even so, Dorjee still ate half of the jerky we brought, which can only last a day or two of rations, and the next time we eat, we will definitely be completely eaten.

Liang Houzai complained about Liu Shangang twice, I didn't say anything about this, now everyone is trapped, it's useless to complain, and now is not the time to complain.

Liu Shangang seemed to be a little embarrassed by Liang Houzai's complaints, and after eating, Liang Houzai and I discussed how to let the night demon see the four murals, and Liu Shangang sat far away, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liang Houzai said that if it weren't for the magnetic field here that would destroy electronic products, he should use his mobile phone to take pictures of the murals on the stone gate, and when he saw the night demon, he would directly pick out the photos and show them.

Just as Liang Houzai was speaking, Liu Shangang suddenly screamed "ah", I thought something was wrong, so I rushed to his side to check and ask him what was wrong.

When I was talking to Liang Houzai just now, Liu Shangang had been fiddling with his watch because he was bored, he took off the watch and threw it between his two hands, the watch was attracted by the magnetic force of the stele, and every time he threw it, it would always fly towards the stele for a distance.

But Liu Shangang didn't expect that the magnetic force of the stele was very unstable, just when he threw up the watch just now, the magnetic force of the stele suddenly became extremely large, and the metal watch flew towards the stele at a very fast speed, Liu Shangang failed to catch it, and at the same time as he screamed, the watch slammed on the stele and was smashed.

Now, the parts of the watch are clinging to the surface of the stele in a mess, and the only thing we can use to calculate time is shattered.

In fact, not only Liu Shangang's watch, but even our backpack was attracted by the magnetic force of the stone tablet at a moment, and slid on the ground for a distance, and there were things made of metal in the backpack.

Liang Houzai tried to press the flashlight switch, but even the flashlight didn't light up.

I also tried to turn on the flashlight, but it also did not escape the fate of being scrapped. I tossed the flashlight aside and sighed, "It's good that the skinny monkey brought in with a torch, otherwise it would have been really troublesome this time." ”

Liang Houzai said: "No wonder the magnetic field from Area 1 to Area 4 is so chaotic, it is estimated that these stone tablets are also doing the trick." ”
