My hand holding the spirit talisman stopped in mid-air, and did not move forward, but it did not retreat, "Director Zhao's words are wrong, your task is quite arduous, it is directly related to whether we can go out, it is a matter of life and death, this is not a waste, but good steel is used on the blade." ”

Zhao Qingya saw that she couldn't make it up anymore, so she simply put her hand behind her back and said loudly, "Come on, I'm just afraid of those insects, okay, go around such a big circle, I just want to hear this, right, my heart is so small." ”

I didn't dare to say it a few times, but my heart blossomed, if I want to talk about muddying the water and pretending to be confused, I am a grandmaster, otherwise I would have let Bai Ling'er take it down a long time ago.

Since Zhao Qingya recognized it, I took the rope and prepared to go down.

Actually, I didn't lie to her what I just said, although the fishy smell only existed for a while when I first came down, and then it dissipated because of the air circulation, but it was really the same as the smell of those bugs, so I still have to be very careful.

With the Yin Sword close to my body, I threw one end of the rope down the stone crack, and in a short time the whole rope was finished.

Reaching out and pulling the wrapped steel nails, after making sure that it was secure, he pulled the rope and prepared to jump down.

Zhao Qingya grabbed my hand as soon as she said, "What are you doing, you have to jump down?" ”

I said otherwise, I still have to think about it first?

She shook her head, took out a couple of pulleys from her backpack, fastened one end to the rope and attached a metal lock to the other, pulled out a few more safety ropes and spun them a few times, skillfully closing them around my waist.

When she was about to hang the metal lock on the safety rope around my waist, I stopped her.

She looked up and wondered, "What?" Can you believe my way of tying a safety knot? ”

I replied with an incredulous face, "How is it possible, Director Zhao is a master of rock climbing, and there is naturally no problem in the technique, but the following situation is unknown, if there are really strange insects, and I am hanging on the rope, I am passive, and my life is in danger." ”

Zhao Qingya thought for a moment, took back the hand holding the pulley, and said, "Are you sure you don't need safety measures?" Let me warn you, I don't know how deep it is, it's too dangerous to just climb down with just one hand, don't let it go. ”

I laughed and said, "You're thinking too much, I've experienced a much more difficult situation than this when I was in Longhu Mountain, it's really no problem, but let's say it first, don't come down for the time being, and wait for my signal to confirm that it's safe." Without waiting for her to reply, he tightened the rope and jumped down.

With my current cultivation, it is quite easy to complete this kind of action, my hands are linked, and after a while, it will drop more than ten meters, the temperature around me has risen significantly, and there is still some moisture, could it be that there is a dark river under here?

But on second thought, it's not uncommon for there to be a dark river underneath the desert, otherwise where would they be able to support those creatures on the surface.

After descending for another ten meters, my toes finally touched the bottom, and I did not rush to let go of the rope in my hand, but deliberately stepped on it a few more times, and only landed after making sure that it was on the ground.

As soon as I stood firm, I smelled a smell of burning, the temperature here was much higher than when I was in mid-air just now, roughly estimated that it should be around forty degrees, and the humidity around me was very high, as if I was standing in a sauna.

Even if I have the Extreme Yang True Qi to protect my body and have a strong resistance to heat, I also feel very uncomfortable.

I didn't rush to greet Yue Qingya, but first looked around, and there was nothing abnormal, then I took out a green glow stick and shook it, and threw it forward.

The glow stick rolled on the ground a few times before falling into a naturally formed groove, about the size of a washbasin, with a number of charred black diamond-shaped hard pieces scattered in it.

Some of the hard pieces are stacked on top of each other to form a honeycomb-like knot, and I can't help but wonder, there won't be that kind of mutated monster hidden in this, right?

After thinking about it, I felt that it was unlikely, if there were really strange insects hidden in it, there would definitely be that unique fishy smell, and not only did the piece in front of me not have a trace of smell, but there was a faint fragrance.

Just as he wanted to take a closer look at what it was, the climbing rope beside him suddenly shook a few times and twitched on his arm.

It can't be a strange worm, I hurriedly looked up, it turned out that Zhao Qingya couldn't help it, and climbed down the rope.

This woman's temperament is really too stubborn, she clearly said it just now, and then she will come down when she sees the signal, but now she is so reckless, if someone deliberately cuts the rope on it, there is no turning back.

But the person has already come down, and it's useless to say anything, so let's wait for her to come down first.

I just watched quietly below, Zhao Qingya's movements were quite professional, holding the rope with one hand and controlling the pulley with the other, and it didn't take half a minute to fall to the ground.

As soon as I was about to speak, she rushed to the front and glared at her, "Hey, what did you do, I waited on it alone for so long, but I didn't even have any feedback, and I thought something happened to you down there, so I hurried down to support, and now it seems that you are fine, that's good." ”

Her sudden set of rhetoric blocked back what I wanted to say before, at least on the surface, people are concerned about your safety before coming down, worthy of being a double doctor, and even the reason is so sufficient.

But my brother is not so easy to fool, I have learned some preaching skills from my senior brother over the years, and I have to explain the stakes of this matter clearly, so as to save this woman from doing something dangerous.

As soon as he put the posture away, Zhao Qingya turned his body back, pointed to those black hard pieces and said, "Oh my God, this can't be a black flame fungus, it is contained in "The Legend of the Four Kingdoms of the Western Regions", in the fourth year of Yuankang in the Western Han Dynasty, there was a long crack in the ground on a plain near the border of Qiuzi Kingdom, which came out from time to time with steam rushing to the sky, and the inside was covered with pieces of diamond-shaped stone flakes superimposed together. ”

"The king thought it was a bad omen, and ordered his army to bury it with loess, but within a few days the queen fell ill, and she was told in a dream, saying that all this was because he had sealed the crack in the earth, and blocked the passage to the underworld, and the gods were angry, and punished mankind, and they blew the evil spirit of the underworld into the yang world, and if she wanted to end it, she had to sacrifice the flesh and blood of seventy-seven forty-nine women."

"At first, the king didn't believe in this kind of illogical story, so he asked the court doctor in charge to find a lot of medicine for the queen to recuperate, but after eating it for a while, not only did it not get better, but the condition worsened, and it seemed that he could not live."
