Chapter Seventy-Nine: Yang Xue's Phone Call
Since Adjutant Naluo had this plan in mind, he ordered his subordinates to wantonly ablut women in nearby villages, capture them in caves, and take them into the mining area, and then order people to tie up a woman every day, put them in a small boat, tie a rope to the bow of the boat, and let the water flow of the underground river drive into the depths of the cave and sacrifice to the monsters.

Strange to say, since Vice General Luo captured the women for sacrifice, there were no more attacks in the mining area, and those women who were sacrificed sometimes survived, but the next day, they were put in again, until they were captured by the monsters in the cave, and they were replaced.
But it didn't take long for another unthinkable thing to happen in the depths of the mine in the middle. In the process of digging a mine, a few skilled craftsmen suddenly opened a natural cave, and went deep along the cave to an extremely huge underground space, like a basin, and there was no end of darkness in sight. Vice General Luo was extremely shocked, thinking that the gate of hell had been opened, and hurriedly led dozens of soldiers, fully armed, to check.
After entering the cave, soon came to the huge underground basin, Luo Yong's life department released the rope, went down to the basin in turn, continued to go deeper, found a large crystal stone forest in the hinterland, and then went several feet deeper, in the center of the basin, stood a huge palace, the palace is still under construction, scattered around some excavated crystal stones, but there is no half of a figure. Soon, at the gate of the palace, someone found two gold statues, weighing more than 100 catties, all of which were carved from purified gold dissolution. Vice Admiral Luo was more and more surprised, things had exceeded his imagination, he did not dare to enter the palace rashly, so he ordered his subordinates to bring the two gold statues back to the mining area, and then make plans.
Unexpectedly, after the gold statue was brought back to the mining area, that night, a puff of black smoke suddenly erupted from the statue's mouth, and the humans and animals who came into contact with this black smoke were poisoned and died in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the mining area was attacked again, and from the open cavern, several wolf-headed bats flew out to raid the artisans who were digging for the gold mines.
Vice General Luo immediately realized that the two golden statues he brought back were the divine beasts guarding the gates of hell, and after he took the beasts, he opened the gates of hell and released ogres. In desperation, he hurriedly asked people to temporarily close the open cave, and then sent people out of the cave, and ordered two huge doors and chains to be made to seal the entrance to hell, and put the two golden beasts guarding the gate of hell on the side of the door to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
In the following months, General Chu relied on the continuous military expenditure of gold mines, recruited troops, and gradually fledgling, and ordered Vice Luo to continue to mine gold veins for military funds, while he led the army back to the Central Plains to fight to the death with the Qing soldiers.
Since the cave was sealed with huge doors and chains, the mining area has gradually become peaceful, and even the women who were sent into the cave by small boats to sacrifice have been taken captive by monsters. Vice General Luo felt that the gods in the cave must have been tired of mortal women, and ordered his subordinates to bring a large number of pigs, sheep and livestock from outside the cave to continue the sacrifice. For a long time after that, nothing happened in the mining area, and the gold mining went very smoothly, and the deeper you dig, the greater the content of the gold veins, as if they were inexhaustible.
Until the battle on the front line was tight, the general trend of the world had gone, General Chu fought alone, his strength was weak, and he was defeated and retreated, Vice General Luo had to make a decision to temporarily close the mining area, lead his own soldiers, and go to the front line to reinforce General Chu.
A few years later, the Qing army seized power from the Han Chinese and established the Qing Empire, and General Chu Duyu and his lieutenant Luo Yongsheng also died in battle. After a few more years, the situation gradually stabilized, and the two craftsmen who had escaped tried to re-enter the mine to grab gold, but they were surprised to find that the cave that entered the mine had been flooded, and at the mouth of the sinkhole, a village was actually established, where a group of women and their teenage children thrived. When the two craftsmen asked the reason, the women of the village said that they had escaped from the cave, that they had somehow become pregnant, and that they had no face to return to their hometowns, so they organized themselves and established this village, and multiplied on their own, and begged the two craftsmen not to publicize the matter, lest it be a matter of repetition. The craftsman sighed, set up a stone tablet to record the general course of events, put it in the cave, and warned future generations that the cave was too evil to venture deeper.
Sun Wu, the deputy leader of the Chinese expedition, and Captain Holden of the British side were amazed after reading the contents of the stele, and they could not imagine that such a bizarre story happened in the depths of this cave hundreds of years ago. However, unfortunately, they all realized that they had no way to bring this historical story back alive, and not long after they were trapped in the air chamber, the oxygen in the space gradually ran out, and they had to take the oxygen cylinder and continue to dive in the underground river, and when the oxygen cylinder was consumed, they found another air chamber and stayed there.
Captain Holden's notes came to an abrupt end here, and what happened after that, no one will ever know. According to my speculation, it is very likely that they were attacked by the mutant giant salamander again, so when Yang Xue and I entered the gas chamber, we only found the backpack of the Englishman Holden, and their corpses had disappeared.
After reading the notes, I recalled the whole thing, and then I remembered that the ancient road we found in the cave was actually dug in the late Ming Dynasty. And the mines, the light boat made of gloomy wood, and the bat skeleton and the giant iron gate locked in the mine, all came from this. The huge crystal palace in the center of the cave basin was also built by the cavemen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, the number of cavemen should have been very large to be able to build such a huge palace.
However, since the villagers we met near the sinkhole were the descendants of the sacrificial women and cavemen, then, with the flooding of the cave, the connection between them should have been completely severed, why, after Yang Xue and I brought the caveman out, they actually secretly took her away, and how did they understand each other's blood relationship that existed hundreds of years ago? Why were the women who were sacrificed in the first place pregnant and released by the cavemen?
I was thinking about this series of questions, but at this time, I heard Yang Xue's voice downstairs, she was answering a phone call, and her tone was slightly excited to say something. After a while, she hurried upstairs, and I saw her come to the drawing-room, and her face turned pale, and she said to me:
My brother he's back......
