Chapter Seventy-One: Connecting the Outside
I motioned for everyone to rest and bandage their wounds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info At this point, I realized that I was covered in injuries. Luckily, it was just some skin trauma. My clothes have been worn out in several places. There are teeth marks of blood bats, scratches, abrasions, and scratches on the body. The most serious thing seems to be the nose, and it was pulled down by the black mountain ghost just now and hit the ground hard. Listening to Hotaru, my nose and the right side of my face are purple and red. I still feel the pain of the heat. Hotaru is disinfecting my nose. I hurt a lot when she touched me.
Fat Bao is similar to me, but his clothes have been worn out in a few places, and he has injuries all over his body. He was better than me in that he only had a bruise on the right side of his face, which should have been left from the fight with the one-eyed mountain ghost just now, and I didn't see him crying out in pain anywhere else.
Fat Bao was urging Hotaru to hurry over to help him treat his wounds. Without saying a word, I threw the backpack over and told him to shut up, mine hasn't been done yet, what is he urging. Hotaru, on the other hand, comforted Fat Bao and asked him to wait a little longer.
Qixing and his party, Zhao Huchun was seriously injured, he didn't seem to know whether he was awake or confused, he sat on the ground with a blank gaze in his eyes. And Zhang Long hit his head. The rest of the stars and wolves seemed to be much better than us, they were basically not seriously injured, just some minor scratches. Grandma's, good skills and good equipment are different.
That's when I had time to look at it. We're on a high ground here, with a waterhole below. The waterhole is not large, about half the size of the fish pond in our village, and at the end of the waterhole there is a low-lying clearing relative to the place. Behind us was the huge stone door that came in.
I stared closely at the hole in the lower left corner of the stone door that we had sealed with stone. The hole showed a very irregular round shape. It was a hole that had been forced out, because the entrance was surrounded by piles of rubble, and it should have been left by breaking into the door. There is also some black stuff around the hole.
"Ke Shao, what do you say can dig a hole in this giant door!" Fei Bao asked.
"I'd love to know!" I said, "This door is more than a meter thick, no matter how you say it." Could it be that the things outside the door that even the mountain ghosts are afraid of? Or ......"
"That's a hole blown up by a directional blast of explosives!" Zhao Huchun said. He seemed to have regained a little strength, "Only the directional blasting of explosives will create the kind of shape that looks round although it is irregular, and there are black marks around the hole, which should be the traces of gunpowder left by the explosives." ā
"To blow a hole in such a thick door, it probably takes a lot of explosives!" Qixing said, "It is estimated that this was done by the archaeological team for 17 years!" ā
"Then the archaeological team should have been here." The wolf said, "After the battle with the mountain ghosts, where were the surviving archaeological team members killed?" ā
"I guess we might know this problem if we move forward!" "Maybe you won't have long to see their corpses!" ā
At this time, the crowd was silent for a while.
"Shut your foul mouth, okay!" I say.
"You can do whatever you say!" Fei Bao said.
At this time, it was mainly Zhao Huchun and Zhang Long who were silent. They probably didn't want to see the bodies of their dead comrades. Although they have been lost for seventeen years, they have long since died, but seeing the bodies of their companions who were born and died back then will feel more or less sad and sad.
Breaking the silence was Qixing, who said, "I can feel the wind blowing from the direction of the waterhole!" There may be a hidden passage on the other side of the waterhole that leads to the outside. ā
I think the same thing as Qixing.
Now that all of us are physically exhausted, coupled with the depression of the environment and the high level of mental tension, we can easily have accidents if we can't find an exit. There are still things behind the stone gate that the mountain ghosts are afraid of, if we hadn't run fast just now, I'm afraid we would have ended up like the five mountain ghosts outside the gate. There is no movement from those things now, but their presence is always a great threat to us.
I don't know what kind of monster and beast it is, but listening to the sound of their movement, it should be relatively large. If that thing hits the door and comes in, we're going to die. I didn't let everyone rest for too long, and after everyone bandaged their wounds, I immediately signaled to go.
"How to get there? Swim over? Fat Bao asked.
"Hmm!" I answered.
We were on high ground two or three meters from the waterhole. We slid down the ground. Zhao Huchun was supported by a wolf. He hadn't been involved in our fight with the mountain ghosts at all, so he had a good rest. He can barely move around now, but he still needs to be supported.
Zhao Huchun apologized to us, saying that he could not help. He is in this state now, and everyone doesn't care about and blame him. Although this man looked so weak, I still couldn't let go of him, not because I was worried that something would happen to him, but because I was worried that he didn't know when to stab us in the back.
Thinking about it from another perspective, we outsiders, for Zhao Huchun, know too many secrets about him. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have counted it like that. So even if I can get out, I still have to watch out for him.
I am suspicious by nature, especially when faced with strange people or things, I will face everything with a skeptical attitude. I wish it was just my mind, because I didn't want Hotaru to get involved in our investigation because of this, and she was innocent.
I just went down into the water and found that the water was not deep, it only submerged to the waist. We can walk through it slowly. But there was mud under his feet, and he sank into it when he kicked it. So we went very slowly.
We managed to walk past the waterhole, and when we came ashore, our feet were covered in mud. I sat on the shore, washing my muddy shoes.
"There's wind blowing in here!" Qixing said.
I then turned my head to look over. I saw Qixing holding a flashlight to shine on it. The top is not very high from us, only about a meter or two away. But Qixing's flashlight didn't reflect any light, and I suddenly felt that there was a drama in it.
I hurriedly walked over and saw a flashlight shining on a vertically upward cavern, and the wind was blowing in from above. The cave is not deep, about five or six meters to the end. Although there is no other road in sight, the wind proves that there may be a hidden passage connecting with the outside.
The vertical upward cave is a regular circle with some protruding stones on both sides of the cave wall for us to climb.
I was going to let Fat Bao go up and have a look first, and I would support him below. But Qixing said that Fat Bao and I were injured all over the body, so let her and the wolf go up.
At this time, every muscle I had was aching and aching, not to mention the injured part, which had just been blistered and hurt terribly.
And even if Fat Bao's physical strength is better than mine, he probably won't have anything to do now. He should be much better than me. So this request made by Qixing, I was disrespectful.
We brought a rock, and Enlighten stepped on the stone first, and then the wolf climbed up. The cave is not wide, with a rough estimate of the diameter of just over one meter and less than two meters. The caves had protruding stone footings, and it was not difficult for them to climb up.
After Qixing climbed to the top, he knocked on the top of his head and said, "This is a stone slab, and the sound is not very thick!" The wind is blowing in from outside. ā
My heart rejoices, and I guess it's connected to the outside.
