The rope was loosened, and the people descended, the pitch-black rocks, and the water cloth falling from the height hit the mask, and the eyes were blurry, and they couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, so they had to descend little by little by feeling.

There seems to be a deep underneath, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged up, as soon as the rope in his hand was loosened, he slid down a large section, as soon as the rope was tightened, it felt empty, and the rope in his hand was only half cut off, and the whole person lost his focus point, and fell down with the current.

Thousands of years of flowing water have smoothed the stone walls on the inner side of the waterfall, and there is a deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall. When I swam to the surface, I saw that the whole waterfall had a drop of at least ten meters, and according to my estimate of the time I had just fallen into the water, the place where the rope was cut should be about six meters high.

The light of the flashlight shone in the pool, and a trace of bright red liquid could be faintly seen, and I was startled, and then I thought of the situation where the rope had just been cut, and a very bad thought came to my mind, and I shouted the fat man's name into the water a few times.

I didn't respond for a long time, thinking that the fat man might leave me, and this bottomless pool, maybe I couldn't even pick up the corpse, a sense of powerlessness rose to my heart, and I sat on the edge of the pool and felt like ashes. couldn't help but say to the pool: "Little fatty, I finally came to this point, you just left like this, how can I explain to your old man if I want to go back?" ”

"Don't cry, I'm not dead yet." The familiar voice of the fat man came from the darkness behind me, and I was overjoyed.

Holding a flashlight, the fat man was panting against a stone carving, half of his body was stained red with blood, I hurriedly ran over to check, it was just some skin trauma, and the whole body was wet, and the whole pair was dyed red.

I asked, "Are you alright?" ”

The fat man said, "I can't die, my arm seems to be dislocated, hurry up and help me get back." ”

At first glance, no, the elbows are already misaligned. Grasping the fat man's arm with his left hand, grasping his wrist with his right hand, and pushing his right hand outward, the bone returned to its original position with a click. With a little movement, this injury was not a problem for him at all.

I asked him again what he had encountered on it and what was the injury on his hand.

The fat man was too anxious when he said it, and he didn't pause at all, he slid straight down, about five or six meters away, and was scraped on his arm by a sharp object, and his arm let go when it hurt, and when he grabbed the rope, it was broken.

Something sharp? Why didn't I see it when I came down? This waterfall should have existed for thousands of years, to say the least, and what else can withstand the washing of thousands of years? Searchlights, flares and other equipment were still on it, and the tactical flashlight in my hand couldn't shine behind the waterfall at all.

Compared to that little injury, the fat man and I were lucky, if we had descended at a normal rate, we would have been in a different place by now. We don't know what cut our ropes, but the most important thing right now is to be careful after telling them to come down.

I took out the walkie-talkie in my bag, this thing was brought by Li Guohua from Hong Kong, the farthest call distance can be dozens of kilometers, before I came, I did a certain amount of waterproof and dustproof measures, and adjusted to the channel we booked, and soon Emma's voice came from the walkie-talkie, which simply told me and the fat man what happened on it, and told them to be careful.

Everyone else is okay to say, although the third child is injured, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, this little thing is not difficult for him, the most brain-hurting is Li Mei, who is already weak, has traveled long distances, lost too much blood, and has acute dehydration, which is simply worse, and it takes a lot of brains to let her go down the waterfall safely.

Two of the mountaineering ropes in our hands were broken, and the rest couldn't withstand their tossing anymore, so let them tie a bag at the other end and throw it out, and the fat man and I pulled the rope at a forty-five-degree angle below, and put Li Mei down the rope first.

This practice is also a kind of risk, the bet is that as long as the body is not close to the wall, there will be no rope that was inexplicably cut just now, when Li Mei came down, I and the fat man's hearts were raised to the throat, knowing that Li Mei landed safely, the hanging heart fell back to the same place.

By the time everyone had come down the rope, more than half an hour had passed.

When everyone saw the waterfall in front of them, they all sighed. At this time, I had the mood and time to check the surrounding situation, took out a searchlight from my bag and shone around, first stunned, and then felt that this place was so familiar, as if when I had been here, the fat man joked that you have not dreamed of it.

I nodded and said, "You're right, I did come to this place when I was poisoned, but the entrance is on the opposite side, and this is already the end." ”

The fat man lowered his voice and asked, "Since you've been here, you must know where the baby is, right?" ”

I shook my head and shook my head: "I already told you, it's dark everywhere here, you can't see anything, you kid disappeared when you walk here, I can't find you yet, how can I have time to find the baby." "I was too embarrassed to tell him that I had stabbed him to death, or else he would have to say that his young heart had been seriously wounded, and that I would have to make amends to him.

Emma chimed in as she rummaged through her bag, "It's easy, we've got flares here, this little place is fine." ”

With that, Emma lifted the launcher of the ammunition that had been loaded, and with a forty-five degree bang, the dark cave was as bright as day, and when we saw the situation in front of us, we were all stunned.

The fat man raised his feet and was about to walk forward, but Li Guohua stopped him and said, "Be careful, don't walk around." ”

I glanced at Li Guohua suspiciously and asked, "Boss Li, do you know something?" ”

Li Guohua lowered his head and groaned for a moment, then looked up and said to me: "I've heard of some, the waterfall above here is the largest branch of the desert dark river, it hasn't dried up for thousands of years, I didn't believe it before I came, I saw these things in front of me....."

It seems to be a chess game in front of us, but this chess surface looks very unfamiliar, neither do we want to have so many points in Go, nor is it like Xiangqi has the distinction between Chu River and Han Boundary, from the perspective of the arrangement of chess pieces, this chess game seems to be an endgame. Facing our chess pieces, there are people and beasts with different appearances, the only similarity is that their faces are extremely fierce, no wonder Gu Tong will tremble with fear, even I will feel hairy after looking at it for a long time.

I asked Li Guohua what this thing was and if he could understand it.

Li Guohua said: "This is a very ancient chess from the Central Plains, called 'Golden Cicada', it looks somewhat similar to chess, but the way of playing is very different, there are two handsome in this chess game, one true and one false, look at the current chess game, if we can't kill the real handsome at one time, we will die." ”

The fat man said, "What do you mean, we still have to play chess?" Such a big child, you are going to move? ”

Emma retracted her gaze and responded: "It's not about moving these chess pieces, there is a waterhole here, there is a water outlet below, first draw the water to the bottom of the chessboard, there are switches, as long as you flip these switches, the chess pieces can move." ”

The fat man asked, "It's another agency, what if we lose?" What if you win? ”

Li Guohua said: "If we win, we can leave safely, and if we lose, we all have to die here." ”

In the middle of the edge of the waterhole behind us, there is a movable baffle, and if this baffle is opened, it means that we have no way out. When Li Guohua said the name of this chess, I was just familiar with it, not to mention how to go, except for Emma, Li Guohua and Gu Tong, the others seemed to have become redundant.

Li Guohua said: "Mr. Zou, don't think so, Miss Duan is only half right, the way of this chess game is indeed as Miss Duan said, it is operated by a mechanism, but there is a lack of one person on these chess pieces, and we need someone to stand on the chess pieces." Otherwise, it will not be able to walk because of the weight that is not enough. ”

After that, Li Guohua opened the baffle, and then went to pull those mechanisms, and sure enough, as he said, the chess pieces did not change by half a point, and I tried to pull the other ones, but the result was still the same, without any change.

The fat man said: "It's all on the chess pieces, who will flip the switch to play chess?" ”

Emma's voice suddenly became a little cold, and she said, "There are only seven people on the chess pieces, we have eight, and one can go to chess." ”

I immediately understood, and looked at the injured third child thoughtfully. Li Guohua, the old fox, didn't care about the life of the third child at all, he had long known that there would be such a level, and knew that we needed seven people in this endgame, if the third child died, the number of people would not be enough, and this game of chess would not be able to continue, which would be equivalent to falling short. At first, he took nine people into the desert just in case, and broke his hands on the road, but Dachun didn't dare to enter the city because he was afraid that the Buddha would blame him, and the second child folded in the Great Rift Valley.

Among the rest of the people, if any one has an accident, I am afraid he will be the same as when the third child was injured, otherwise when the second child died, why didn't he react at all, just frowned slightly. I have to admire the mind of this old fox, he was faced with such a dying situation before, he didn't tell the truth, and he was able to make up such a big series of stories on the spot.

In the current situation, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way back, this old fox wouldn't know how long it would lie to us, and he wouldn't know what rhetoric he would make up for us to play chess pieces. Now only the three of them know this 'golden cicada chess', no matter who we let play this chess game, it is estimated that he can find a reason that we can't refuse, and prove that this person is not good. In the end, it turned out that only he was the most suitable.

What worries me the most is the scene I saw after the poisoning, the same waterfall, the same waterhole, the same scene, except for me, no one else, we all died in this place. The most terrible thing in this world is not the moment of death, but dying in a dream and seeing yourself die here, but in reality, it leaves you with a glimmer of hope to live, which seems so powerless.

It seems that we have to go up, and we have to go up if we don't go up. But I still kept an extra eye, while they were discussing things, I quietly walked to the hidden place of the agency, glued plastic explosives and ****, and put the detonator in his pocket, if this old thing has any outrageous and harmful behavior, I will not hesitate to blow him up. It's a big deal, and no one wants to leave this hellish place.

The fat man also understood at this time, and was about to question him, but I stopped him and whispered to him, stay in Qingshan and be afraid of no firewood, let's come to Japan for a long time, as long as we can get out alive, and then settle this account with him.

I asked Li Guohua again: "Boss Li, you haven't said yet, if we win this game of chess, what will you get?" ”

Li Guohua said with a smile: "If you win chess, you will naturally know, and now... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. But in the process of playing chess, no matter what happens, you can't leave the chessboard. ”

Looking at the smile on his face, I don't know why, an indescribable disgust rose in my heart at this time. I first sent the third child and Li Mei a chess piece, and when I turned around, I found a chess piece and jumped up, and then the fat man, Emma and others also got on the chess piece.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Guohua walked to the front of the mechanism, ready to pull the mechanism and start playing chess.

I didn't look carefully at the chess pieces that were facing away from us before, but when I turned around, I found that the faces on the chess pieces we were on were so docile, full of sunshine and positive side, and they were simply representatives of the positive energy of socialism, which formed a strong contrast with the chess pieces on the opposite side.

The chess piece where the fat man is is a stone figure with a knife, big eyes, a feather on his head, and an animal skin skirt on his waist, presumably a samurai or something. Emma is on the back of a giant monster, and its long snout, presumably an elephant, is particularly noticeable. Gu Tong is next to a man with a bow and arrow, and there are female archers in chess? I don't know what it is. The locations of the remaining people are chariots, horses, pawns, and marshals. Underneath me was a big round lump, and I couldn't tell what it was.

I was about to ask Emma, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the round lump under me suddenly rushed forward, stopping diagonally opposite a fierce column-shaped monster, this monster's fierce eyes stared at me, I was afraid that he would suddenly give me a moment, looking at this monster, my heart was broken.

Looking back at the others, Fat Man, Gu Tong, Emma, and Tong Qin all began to move one after another. We had already discussed it in advance, the third child and Li Mei were injured, and we didn't know if this chess game would really let us do it when we were eating pieces, so the two of them could not move and try not to move. It seems that the old fox still kept our promise. (To be continued.) )
