Chapter 31: A Strange Rescue
"What the hell is going on, they untied the safety rope themselves?" Feng Ping looked at the intact safety rope full of doubts. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since it is just a spirit monster that can disturb people's senses, at most it can make people see and hear things that do not exist, can that monster still control them to untie the safety rope? It's a little scary, isn't it? Or did they encounter something again? Looking at the passage in front of him that he had wasted countless efforts to get out, Feng Ping felt more and more scared. The black hole in the corridor that stretched upwards could not see any light at all, like a monster with a huge mouth, which was terrifying.
I was a little scared, but I didn't hesitate much. Since it is three people who set off together, it is necessary for three people to go out together, and naturally they cannot be abandoned. But you can't go back like this, otherwise you won't be able to escape the fate of being trapped in it in the end. After thinking about it, Feng Ping took out a bunch of mountaineering equipment, fixed the safety rope on the ground one meter away from the aisle with a mountaineering pickaxe and safety buckle, and pulled it out twice, and it was fixed very steadily. Then he buckled the other end to his body, turned around and plunged into the aisle again.
"It turns out that the spiral passage is like this." It wasn't until Feng Ping turned around and entered the spiral passage and began to climb upwards that he discovered the true shape of this aisle. It seems that after coming down from the previous room, it is like an underground building, with many levels, and between each two levels there are two spiral passages and a long passage that is the same as the place Feng Ping arrived before, and the long passage on each floor seems to be infinitely extendable in Feng Ping's opinion. While lamenting the huge scale of this underground cavern, he recalled the scene that the three of them encountered before, and the three of them may have been trapped in it before, probably from a spiral passage to a certain level and then up along another passage, resulting in never an end.
Feng Ping, who was walking in the aisle, couldn't help but be a little worried, what if the two of them were confused and advanced along the horizontal aisle on a certain floor, he might never find them again, so he had to walk out of here by himself? I can't imagine it.
Shook his head, got rid of those bad thoughts, and worked hard to climb up, it was much harder to go up than down, plus the previous physical exertion, I didn't climb a few layers of Fengping and felt that my legs were filled with lead, and I couldn't lift it anymore, so I had to sit down and rest.
I put down my backpack and sat down on the steps and thought. This spiral passage should not be very long in my opinion, so it didn't take long for me to walk out in a conscious state before. However, there are too many horizontal forks in the road, each of which seems to have no end, and it is impossible for me to look for them one by one, and I can only pray that they have not yet walked out of this spiral channel because they are confused.
While thinking about it, Feng Ping suddenly felt something on his shoulder slap heavily, and he was so frightened that he screamed and got up and was about to run down. But before he could run two steps, a tired voice came from behind him: "It's me, what are you running?" ”
Hurriedly turned around, and found that the madman was standing on the steps where he had sat before, looking at himself, and saw that his clothes were somewhat torn, and there seemed to be some scars on his face. "What's the injury? Why did you untie the safety rope? Also, don't you walk with a flashlight? I didn't see any lights, so I thought it was some kind of monster. Feng Ping asked a bunch of questions.
"Don't ask so much at once, okay. The injury was fell before, after the three of us separated, I walked well, I suddenly felt that the safety rope on my body and the place connected behind it seemed to be broken, hanging on the ground, turned around and shouted that he didn't respond, I thought he had an accident and wanted to pull the rope, but he suddenly came out of that direction A huge pull, as if I could still hear the roar of the beast, scared me, I untied the safety rope on my body and wanted to find you in the other direction, and found that you also seemed to have untied the rope, Then all the ropes were dragged behind me by that strange force, I thought you had an accident too, so I fell down the stairs in a hurry, and after I got up, I found that the flashlight was broken, so I had to move forward in the dark, and I don't know how long I walked to see you sitting there, and then you will know what happened to you. You didn't go out either, did you? It looks like we're back to square one. ”
"You mean that all the safety ropes were taken away from the direction of the Dao Chief?" Feng Ping asked.
"Yes, I still have this sense of direction, and it was the direction behind me that pulled the rope."
"The rope is all with me. After parting with you, I walked out after a while, and this passage is a double helix structure as a whole, with a connection about every 20 steps, and there will be a horizontal passage. I think we may have been distracted by our senses, so we kept going around in circles in the passage, and we couldn't get out. Feng Ping said, pointed to the safety rope on his body, and continued, who knew that before he finished speaking, he saw the madman take two steps back, and actually raised the broken flashlight in his hand and made a defensive movement.
"Why is the rope with you? What kind of mountain spirit monster are you, where did you get the two of them? ”
"What are you doing here? What nerves do you have? ”
"The rope was obviously pulled behind me, how could it be in your hands." The madman spoke his own logic.
"That's what I thought, maybe I was not disturbed by the front, so I went out of the passage, that is, at the bottom. And the two of you go from one passage to the junction point because of the interference and then go up the other, so I become the one behind you. I tried to pull you two out after I got out of the passage, but I found that you were both unroped, so I came back to you. Maybe the pull you felt was me, but the roar of the beast should be the monster's interference. “
Listening to Feng Ping's explanation, the madman still didn't believe it, and asked again: "The two of us have known each other for so many years, tell me who my last girlfriend was?" ”
"How do I know who your last girlfriend was? We've only known each other for a few days, okay, don't be pretentious. ”
When the madman heard this, he put down the flashlight in his hand, and seemed to take a while to clear his mind before accepting what Feng Ping said. The two of them sat on the steps, looking at the endless darkness behind them, and then at the downward spiral passage in front of them, trying to think about their next move.
"The safety rope I pinned to the exit is almost at the end, and once we get out of the safety rope, it means that we are really back to the starting point, and now there is no trace of the road chief, so I suggest that we go to the exit first and then think about what to do next." Feng Ping put forward his own ideas.
The madman doesn't have any opinions, he doesn't care much about Qing Xuanzi's life or death anyway, and now he can go out and everything will be fine.
So the two of them walked down the aisle along the rope, and this time it was very smooth, and it didn't take long to reach the place where the safety rope was sealed. But the scene in front of them surprised them, and they saw Qing Xuanzi sitting next to a statue in the horizontal aisle with his eyes closed, and the flashlight was casually placed aside. The angle of the light made his face look a little gloomy, and when he felt the arrival of the two, Qing Xuanzi suddenly opened his eyes, and there was an indescribable evil aura in his eyes, staring at the two and saying, "What are you two things?" ”
