Chapter 21: The Cave to the Ground
Why is Liu Xiancheng, this damn old man, here? Shouldn't he be hiding a tornado studying him in some secret place? But if that's him, it's fair to guess we're here, but how does he know where we are in the jungle?
So Dinah suddenly came to my room that night, also because they arrived in Li County?
Weizi said in a low voice: "It doesn't seem right, Liu Xiancheng doesn't seem to be the leader of that group, you take a closer look at his hands have been behind his back, maybe he is tied behind his back." His clothes were torn in a lot of places, and I guess the old guy was kidnapped. ”
"People from the Long family?" I was surprised: "Their reaction speed is also a little faster, and they found Old Man Liu so easily, it seems that Long Wu is right, Long Yi or Long Er is really not a simple thing." ”
Dong Bing calmly squeezed the submachine gun, stared at the blurred and shaking crowd, and said, "Then what should we do now?" ”
I glanced at the other side coldly and said, "Wait, don't worry, there are people who are more anxious than you." ”
"Who?" Dong Bing looked at me in surprise.
Weizi smiled contemptuously and said, "Anyway, don't worry about it, when the time comes, Bamboo and I will pull that person out of the darkness, and then you can go back to the back and stay in a normal state, don't do too many extra moves, be careful to startle the snake." ”
Dong Bing picked his scalp anxiously, and said anxiously: "If you don't say it, it makes me even more anxious, reveal a little." Where the hell is that man? Is it on our team? ”
Seeing his appearance, I had to whisper to him: "You're right, there are ghosts in our team, but there are too many targets to lock, let's just drag behind and pay attention to his actions, that person should take action next." ”
Dong Bing snorted, his eyes were full of excitement, and he nodded again and again before retreating to the back. The group of people in front of the statue could still hear the croaking Burmese language discussing something, and one of the tall and thin figures seemed to be the leader, and he commanded the others to let Old Man Liu crack the mechanism under the statue.
It's a pity that it's too dark to see what this person looks like, and I don't know if it's Long Yi or Long Er, as Long Wu said.
As time passed quietly, our nerves were still tense in the dark, even if our eyes were a little sleepy, we had to hold on, and just when everyone was about to get impatient, we heard a rumbling sound rolling in the labyrinth, bringing a series of sounds.
The tall bronze statue slowly began to rotate in place with the sound of iron chains, and when it turned two and a half times, there was a soft 'clang' sound at the interface under the lotus platform, and the statue began to slowly retreat towards us, revealing a hole of three or four square sizes under the lotus platform.
At the moment when the entrance of the cave opened, a cold wind blew out of the cave, even if we were far away, we shivered coldly, and the original temperature of thirty degrees suddenly dropped to only a few degrees, making us shiver with cold, this is just outside, and the inside of the cave is not going to reach the temperature below zero?
"What the hell can this go down?" Dong Bing shivered and rubbed his hands, took out the folded clothes in the backpack and put them on. "Nima is hot outside and has to peel off its skin, and the cold down here is almost frozen into popsicles, ice and fire."
I put my clothes back on, and I covered my hands with a sigh of relief, feeling like my eyelashes were about to freeze. This air conditioning has not improved because of the length of time, but has been holding on to this low temperature for a long time.
The group of people on the opposite side didn't seem to expect such a cold temperature, and they screamed one by one, but they were not unprepared for each other, and at the end, they began to distribute clothes in a chaotic manner, but unfortunately they were all relatively thin and had poor heat retention.
While everyone, including us, was preparing for the cold, there was a sudden rumbling sound at the mouth of the hole, similar to the sound of steam coming out of the pipes when a boiler was burning.
Weizi and I guessed what the sound was about, and we saw a bunch of unintelligible words on the other side, and then walked down the steps in the cave one by one.
After everyone on the other side disappeared into the hole, we walked out of the hidden position to the statue, and the first thing we saw was that the entrance to the underground was surrounded by two wide stone steps, which were carved out of the stone wall next to the cave entrance.
Dabao glanced at it weakly, quickly closed his eyes, trembled his legs and said, "Mom, I can't see the bottom, this staircase is not firm no matter how you look at it, if you go halfway through, this thing suddenly collapses, what should I do?" ”
Dong Bing snorted at him, "Crow's mouth, you want to fall down and become a dead fat man?" ”
Dabao glared at him, muttering to himself that he didn't know what he was talking about. Weizi frowned and squatted down to look at the probe in the cave, and said, "I'm only worried about what that strange sound is, it doesn't sound like a living thing, but it shouldn't be a steam engine or something, after all, the technological conditions here can't have such a traversal situation." ”
"I can't escape from life or death anyway." Lei Hong was the first to stand on the stone steps, turned around and said: "Don't think about it so much, you have to go down anyway, take one step at a time, I will stand up to the danger, can't I stand it, isn't there Xia Dashao?" ”
Weizi stood up and said, "Then let's go, I can't think of a reason anyway." ”
Several of our combatants walked one after the other, and in the middle, Dabao and Weizi used the flashlight to watch the road under their feet, so as not to break their bones by stepping on the air, but in order to avoid being discovered by the group of people below, they simply adjusted the light of the flashlight to a faint light, which was only enough to look at the stone steps under their feet in front of them, which also reduced the risk of being discovered.
Walking on the spiraling stone steps, the inside of the cave is getting colder and colder, and if it weren't for the fact that we are still walking around now, maybe everyone would have frozen here.
The hole was so long that we didn't even know how far we had gone, and from time to time there were strange sounds coming from deeper down, clanging like huge chains pulling on something massive. And every time a strange sound was initiated, an extremely cold wind blew up, and everyone who was so cold that they couldn't even open their eyelids.
At this time, no one was willing to speak at all, and they kept their strength and slowly moved their steps.
At this moment, the faint flashlight illuminated a corpse, the corpse was frozen and stiff, the corpse's face was painted with camouflage, but the clothes were gone, and Chi Guoguo was left with only a pair of shoes, even the socks were gone.
Dong Bing moved the body and examined it, then turned around and said, "I was attacked from behind, and there are marks of being hit with a blunt object on the back of my head, so it should be infighting." ”
Lei Hong glanced at the corpse and understood what was going on, "It seems that he was killed by his own companion and took away his clothes." It's not unusual for Burmese people to do this, and I've seen it on the border not once or twice. ”
Dongfang Xu said coldly: "This is a Dai people, Miao Xiang, with a round and flat face, relatively small eyes, and a relatively small body skeleton, which is a little different from the Burmese." ”
"So it's possible that they're already divided into two factions?" I closed the eyes of this Dai man, after all, he was Chinese anyway, and after getting up, he said: "The selfishness and restless heart of the Burmese are deep-rooted, and it is not strange that there is infighting at this juncture. ”
Weizi nodded and said, "Only if they have infighting, it will be beneficial to us, let's go!" Maybe more corpses will be seen on the road. ”
Dongfang Xu shook his head and said, "There will be no more corpses, they should not have obvious conflicts, but quietly make a black hand." At most, there were only four or five corpses like this on the road. ”
As our group continued to explore, it really confirmed Dongfang Xu's words, only a few dead bodies were encountered along the way, all of them were stripped clean and slippery, and they were frozen all over the body, including Burmese and Dai people.
I swept through the corpses, but my heart was a little happy, after all, my side hadn't done it yet, and the other party had some results on its own.
Dong Bing shook his flashlight in front of us, signaling that it seemed that he was going to the end.
When I was thinking about finally finishing this spiraling staircase, the more I went down, the more I found that the bottom of the cave began to glow red, and the temperature around me was no longer as cold as before, but was getting hotter and hotter.
Dabao exaggeratedly said: "We won't go to the center of the earth, right?" ”
Inner? What are you kidding, how far is this.
I ignored Dabao's words, but as the speed of the descent became faster and faster, the temperature did indeed increase, and the red-glowing place below became brighter and brighter.
Boom!
The huge red pillar suddenly bounced up, almost past the stone steps we were standing on, and a wave of scorching heat immediately made us cover our faces.
And what is the red pillar, it is clearly magma.
