Chapter 55: An Unsolvable Mystery
We took a few steps back, and found a light blue mist coming from all the cracks in the stones around us, and at an astonishing speed, almost instantly, the fog began to envelop us below our knees, and it was like a layer of fog in front of us, and it was still rising. Soon the light of the flashlight had little effect.
Then we heard a series of antlers coming from one end of the rift, melodious, and several rings around the rift. Countless faint black shadows, with the sound of antlers, lined up in a long line, appeared in the mist at the end of the rift.
I couldn't react for a moment, the people here are dying and running, it's long been out of fashion, why are so many people suddenly coming out? Could it be that there are other teams here? But it's not like this...... There are too many people.
The fat man's face on the side was already white, and he seemed to know what was going on, his mouth was knotted, and it took a long time to say it all: "Yīn Bing borrowed the way!"
yīn soldiers? I was puzzled and wanted to ask him, but he covered my mouth and made a gesture of never speaking. We put down our flashlights and went straight back, hiding behind a large rock.
The procession walked towards us unhurriedly, and I even saw the shadow of the banner of the person in front of me, the team was a group of four, walking in great order, and soon came to us from the end of the rift in the distance, and the shadow of the fog became clearer and clearer under the light of the flashlight.
I looked at it, and my scalp involuntarily went numb, only to see the people at the front of the line, wearing shabby armor from the Yin Shang era, with flagpoles in their hands, and someone behind them carrying horns. Despite the heavy load, these people walked as if they were floating, without any sound and extremely fast. When I looked at their faces again, I almost bit my tongue off, and they were all strangely long human faces, the length of the whole human head was twice as long as that of ordinary people, and all of them were expressionless, and their faces were extremely pale.
The ghosts of the procession passed in front of us, and they did not notice us, and walked straight through the cracks of the bronze gate, and all the soldiers were identical, as if they were papier-mâché.
Neither I nor the fat man dared to speak, expecting these people to hurry over, at this time, suddenly the fat man's hand pressed my mouth was shaking, I hurriedly looked at it, only to see that the stuffy oil bottle was also wearing the same armor, walking in the middle of the team, his normal face and the same face of the monsters around him were too different, we recognized it at a glance.
I almost screamed, could it be that the stuffy oil bottle is dead, and the soul has been hooked by this group of yīn soldiers?
When I looked again, I saw that there was still his black gold ancient knife behind the stuffy oil bottle, and his walking movement was completely different from that of the yīn soldier on the side. I knew right away that he was still alive.
So what does he want to do? Don't...... I suddenly had a very bold thought—did he want to get in?
This kid is crazy! All of a sudden, my heart began to beat faster, and a long-lost fear came over me, and my breathing began to rapid, and I tried to stop him, but the fat man grabbed me and wouldn't let me move.
I saw that the stuffy oil bottle noticed us, and turned his head, and when I saw the faces of me and the fat man, he suddenly smiled deeply, moved his mouth, and said, "Goodbye." ”
Then he stepped through the bronze gate and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. I looked at him dumbfounded, and my head almost exploded.
Soon, the whole team of "yīn soldiers" walked into the bronze giant gate, and the ground shook suddenly, and the giant gate instantly closed into a whole.
I sat down on the floor, and a feeling of powerlessness arose instantly, what was going on? What the hell does he want to do with the stuffy oil bottle, those are really yīn soldiers?
The fat man ran over to pick up the flashlight, and he also looked at the giant gate in surprise, a little nervous.
But there was still no time for us to be in a daze, and the fog around us gradually dissipated, and we immediately heard the sporadic chirping of strange birds coming from the end of the rift, getting louder and louder.
The fat man reacted immediately and shouted at me, "Hurry up!" The birds flew back again, and we weren't so lucky this time. ”
I called the fat man, and suddenly it was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water, and I came to my senses, and immediately turned around and ran with the fat man to the other side of the rift, Panzi, and the direction in which they had fled.
The rocks under the rift valley were like hills, extremely difficult to climb, and we had just climbed out of the distance, and the cry of the strange birds was already very close, and I couldn't help praying in my heart, if I had just died, it would have been forgotten, and if I had escaped the catastrophe and still died in the same place, it would not be worth it.
Our wounds have changed from pain to numbness, and some people say that people forget the pain when they are nervous, but now I can't even feel my own feet, and I can't even run fast with gritted teeth. The fat man and I had to support each other and run forward as hard as we could, but we couldn't stop, and it was impossible to stop and try to exert our strength again.
We just crawled and crawled straight into the depths, and soon I was barely conscious of what I was doing.
Turning over a boulder like a hill, there were three forks in front of the rift, and three huge mountain cracks appeared in front of me, I was a little confused, what should I do? Which one to take? We thought that the Traceless Rift would go all the way to the end, and we could meet Panzi at the exit, but we didn't have any food or water on us, so even if we could get out of the three ways, if we couldn't meet them, it would be a dead end.
Running to the fork in the road, we saw an extremely ugly arrow carved into the edge of one of the huge cracks. The arrows indicate a direction.
The fat man scolded: "That old Panzi is really lazy, and he won't even make an arrow beautiful." ”
I didn't expect them to leave us arrows and say, "You still have to worry about this, it just works!" I can't say more, I gritted my teeth and got into the gap.
The gap here is much narrower than the rift, and the strange birds don't fly too smoothly, and the chances of hunting are much smaller when we enter, and we feel a lot more relieved as soon as we enter.
Soon I saw the light of a flashlight in front of me, and I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, and my heart said to follow their footsteps. It should have been running deep a long time ago, why is there a flashlight here, did you die here in an accident again?
I only ran a few steps, but I saw Pan Zi and a few foreigners walking backwards with bullets on their backs, apparently wanting to come back to save us. Seeing that our Pan Zi was overjoyed, and then he was stunned again, and asked, "Just the two of you?" What about the others?"
I said don't mention it, it's too miserable, hurry up, the birds behind are still following.
You can hear the cry here, but the situation above is not clear at all, there are no flares, and you can't see the strange birds with a flashlight.
Pan Zi beckoned to go back immediately, and the last person started a cold firework and led the way in front, and a foreigner saw that I was injured like this, so he carried me, and the group quickly retreated into the end of the crack.
I hadn't had people carry it for a long time, and I felt very unaccustomed, but the cold smoke cloud illuminated the large number of murals on the rock walls around this crevice, and suddenly aroused my interest again. It's a pity that I ran so fast that I couldn't take a closer look.
The desolate cry gradually weakened, and it seemed that the strange bird began to give up the pursuit, in fact, as soon as we saw Panzi, our hearts were much calmer, and we knew that we might not be able to die. The people he brought were all good hitters in Aning's team, and even if they really fought in an encounter, they wouldn't suffer a loss.
When I think of A-Ning's team, I think of A-Ning, and I asked Panzi if she had seen her.
Panzi said don't worry, that beautiful girl knocked someone unconscious and came back.
After running for a long, long time, the gap became narrower and narrower, and finally only one person could pass through, the air suddenly warmed up, and we slowed down, and at this time two more people appeared in front, it was the jǐng ringer who was keeping vigil, and when they saw us coming back, they all let out cheers.
I wanted to ask why the temperature here was so high, but I had already seen that there were several hot springs next to Panzi's camp, and I was completely relaxed, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly spread throughout my body, and I almost fainted on the spot.
