The steps spiraled around the circular wall and upwards, with no guardrails on the outer edges, and I was lying on the edges, where I could fall if I wasn't careful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it hurt all over my body, it was somewhat thankful, at least I didn't fall directly. We lay on the ground for a while before feeling a little better, and struggled to get up, and at the same time, the roar of the steps came to an abrupt halt, as if the dragon had reached the top.

My back hurt so badly that I was leaning against the wall and couldn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, I barely managed to regain my strength, and in a trance I saw the fawn lying on the edge of the steps and looking down.

"It must have been some kind of mechanism that we triggered to make these steps appear. You see, in fact, we didn't have to climb the iron rope in the first place, as long as we found the mechanism, we could walk up. The fawn rubbed his shoulders and said.

Looking down at his gaze, the steps connected to the ground, spiraling all the way up, if it was really driven by a mechanism, then we would be a blood loss to climb the iron cable, not only wasting our physical strength, but also risking our lives.

"In that case, what are these iron cables for?" Brother Hao asked.

"It must have been for us fools!" I didn't have the heart to say it.

After a short rest, we began to walk up the steps, which were much easier than climbing the cables, and I knew there was such a mechanism, and I wouldn't touch the damn cables if I was killed.

The steps are not steep, so the distance we ascend is very small with each lap. The walls were still bare, there was nothing, and I wished I could see some murals or symbols so that we wouldn't be so bored walking.

Just thinking about it, all of a sudden, a line of words appeared on the wall, and we hurriedly shone the flashlight on it, only to see that it was a line of blood characters, although a little blurry, but still distinguishable:

"Five souls are buried, ten steps to heaven"

Looking at these words, I can't help but feel a little creepy. I don't understand the specific meaning of this line, but I can vaguely feel that this place is definitely not simple.

Xiaolu frowned, held his chin and said, "What do you mean, is this a tomb?" ”

"The literal meaning is very simple, there are five coffins here, and we may hang up after ten more steps!" I said.

The fawn ignored me, still thinking to herself. I've long been accustomed to his virtue, and it's strange if I don't beat him if I were someone else.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Since someone has written these blood letters, it means that he must have encountered some danger." He wants to remind us not to go any further. ”

"it! It's all here, where do you want us to go! Brother Hao said excitedly.

Xiaolu motioned for us to calm down first, then looked up and down, and said, "Brother Hao is right, since we have come up, it is better to go and find out, not to mention that we have no way out!" ”

We continued up a long distance without any changes. We gradually let our guard down, maybe that line of blood was just a joke made by someone, and if there was any danger, he would not have had time to write.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a doorway more than half a person high on the wall, and a person was sitting in it, staring straight at me.

I clawed at the wall, trying to keep my balance, but luckily the fawn behind me reacted quickly and hurriedly held me up, so I barely fell off.

I saw that the person in the doorway was a dried corpse, with shriveled eyes, cracked corners of his mouth, and an extremely hideous face, but judging from the clothes on his body that had not completely decayed, he should be a modern person.

"Little shy, you're just scared by this!" The fawn said with a sneer.

"Not really! I just didn't stand firm, would you be afraid of this kind of deceptive child? I pretended to be calm and said dismissively.

"Yo yo yo, I'm not afraid of the little shyness, why is my face white!"

I wasn't in the mood to continue arguing with him, so I turned to Brother Hao and asked, "Could this be a bloody warning?" ”

"This thing is just a skeleton, what's there to be afraid of, keep walking!" Brother Hao said.

I was bored with myself, so I kept my head down and followed them silently. It didn't take long for another dried corpse to appear, and like the previous ones, it really didn't look like an ancient person.

Along the way, we encountered a total of five of these doorways, each of which contained a dried corpse, very similar in shape, the only difference was that there was a burned-out wind lamp next to the dried corpse, and some debris was scattered around the wind lamp.

We tried to piece together the pieces, but we found that there should be much more than that, and from the scattered patterns, it can be roughly judged that this is a map, is it a treasure map? I looked at Brother Hao, and he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.

"What's the secret here? It doesn't matter what you say, it's still unknown whether we'll be able to get out alive! I begged.

Brother Hao shook his head, looking very resolute, and said that this is for my good, I have nothing to do with him, I can't bend to it.

At this time, the fawn seemed to have discovered something, and took out a soft photograph from the pocket of the dried corpse, which we recognized at a glance as the same picture as the one in the wallet.

"These five corpses can't be the people in the photo!" I exclaimed.

Xiaolu nodded, agreed, and then said, "'Five Souls into the Burial' should be the five of them. ”

Brother Hao seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "I remembered!" This is the Five-Born Dragon Tower! ”

"Five-born Dragon Tower?"

"Well, I've heard my grandfather mention that the Five-Fetal Dragon Tower is to seal a certain treasure by gathering the souls of five people. Legend has it that evil spirits will attach themselves to the first five people they encounter, absorb their yang energy, and then guard the treasures. If my guess is correct, the five of them should have been the first to come here, but they didn't expect this place to be very dangerous, so they became hosts for evil spirits. ”

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if this is the case, then the blood word has become a warning in a sense: it is really very dangerous above!

Xiaolu said with a nonchalant look: "After all, it is a legend, how can there be such a thing as an evil spirit, if it is really possessed by an evil spirit, these five people have already become dry corpses, and they will not do anything to us!" ”

As I was talking, I suddenly noticed that Brother Hao's face was a little wrong, he pointed behind us, and said, "He...... They moved! ”

When I looked back, my face turned green, and I saw the dried corpses lying on the ground, glaring at us with a fierce look, and a few of them were still crouching on the opposite steps looking up, as if trying to tear us to pieces.
