Chapter 164: Echoes
"Tsk, there's a baby here! You think, how can he run into the stone wall? It can't be, in that case, there's only one explanation, they were under the ground before they got here, and they were going to get out of here. Didn't you hear that there is an ancient tomb here, they must have run from the ancient tomb, what are you waiting for! It's all babies! The ninth master said, giving Xiaopang a look.
When Xiaopang heard this, he was a little moved, but he frowned and thought about it and then shook his head, "You have it, Ninth Master, don't make me happy with this, although I love money, but I won't do anything like money to spend without life, Lu Li said that there is something here, let's not take risks." ā
"Tsk." Seeing that Xiaopang said this, Jiu Ye was very depressed, he looked at me, I didn't pay attention to him, and now Jiu Ye was unhappy, "Okay, if you don't go in, I'll go in." The ninth master said, went back to the hood and found something like a cannonball, walked to the gap in the stone wall, inserted it and took out the lighter
Holy, that's not explosives, is it!?
Thinking of this, I stepped forward and grabbed Jin Jiuye, "Jiuye, are you crazy!?" Isn't it death to light explosives here!? ā
"Eh, you don't care, I have to go this time." As he spoke, he really lit the long fuse with a lighter, and when I saw him like this, I knew that I couldn't stop it, thinking of this, I and Chubby immediately ran out with our ears blocked.
The location of the stone crack is at the exit of the trestling road, and the cliffs on both sides are extremely steep, and if it explodes at this time, there may be a lot of noise
Sure enough, with a loud "bang", the whole ground shook a little, and we stood in the distance with our ears plugged and saw the rocks on the cliff falling like raindrops, and then a long crack suddenly appeared from the bottom to the top, like a lightning hanging upside down in the night sky, and the smoke and dust burst out, and it became huge in an instant
No, looking at the way the mountain collapsed, Xiaopang and Jin Jiuye and I were shocked into a cold sweat, it stands to reason that Jiuye's explosives are indeed somewhat powerful, but this power is not enough to make such a big movement, look at this, if you put a little more explosives, the steep cliffs dozens of meters high may collapse and fall straight down!
Don't be so exaggerated
I grinned and looked at the ninth master, at this time the ninth master was also frightened, and then I remembered that the stone cracks on the mountain wall were originally formed by geological movements, not artificially excavated, which was like a hidden gap in a porcelain bowl, very fragile, and some chain reactions would inevitably occur under heavy blows. But at that time, we didn't think about it, only worried that the mountain would collapse without warning, and we looked up at the old man for a long time with trembling chin tilts, and when we saw that the sand, rock, and soil were no longer pouring down, we ran over with twelve points of caution.
When I got closer, there was already a man-high pit on the mountain wall, and the bottom of the pit was full of large and small gravel, which reminded me of the shocking scene of quarrying, but the scale of the industrial activity was much smaller than that of that kind of industrial activity.
"Well, you see, there's a cave here." Chubby said, picked up the gravel and ran over, and then got into the stone crevice on the side of the hole, saying that it was a cave, but it was actually very reluctant, strictly speaking, it was just a gap that could accommodate a person to go sideways.
The triangle, large at the bottom and small at the top, looks like a mountain cracked out, and there is no trace of artificial excavation. I walked over and looked left and right, and there was a hole on the left and right sides of the big crater that was blown up, but the stone crack on the left side near the trestle road was a little too narrow, and normal people couldn't get through it at all.
"That's where he came from." Shine a flashlight on the gap on Chubby's side, I said.
"It should be said that he was dragged from here." Staring at the big puddle of blood on the ground, the ninth master said.
"That's right." As I spoke, I squatted on the ground and looked at it, the blood on the ground had not completely penetrated the soil, it was very wet, with a strong smell of blood.
"I'm cĒo, you say, what's so fierce? It can drag the big living life away! Otherwise, let's go back, this thing is not easy to deal with. Walking over and looking at the obvious drag marks on the ground, Chubby's heart was a little bottomless.
"I agree." As soon as I saw it, I made my attitude clear.
"Damn, what's wrong with you two, why did you pretend to be a bear as soon as you entered the mountain. You weren't like that before. The ninth master said, shook the flashlight on our faces, and then walked in with his backpack. I glanced at Xiaopang, both with a dying expression, and after a short period of speechlessness, I also reluctantly followed the steps of the ninth master with my bags on my back.
The gap in the mountain wall was very irregular, and the stones on the ground made it difficult for us to walk, and we walked over, always on the lookout for whether the man-eating thing would rush out of a corner, so we walked very slowly from beginning to end, and in the process, we found that the man left less and less bloodstains, but in general, we could see his movements.
As the feet continue to go deeper, the gap on the stone wall is becoming more and more obvious, holding a flashlight to look around, the light outside has nothing to do with us, in the stone wall on both sides, from time to time out of a few big mice, not small, but none of them are the Tang rat I am looking for dragging the intestines around.
"Are you sure you're not seeing these rats?" Walking in front, the ninth master took a flashlight and asked me about the mice running around.
"No, the one I saw had intestines hanging on the outside." I said, grabbing my ribs out.
"Oh." Hearing this, the Ninth Master nodded, and then walked forward cautiously for a while, walking for half an hour, and the stone walls on both sides were already much wider. I looked at it, and the average width was also about two meters, and in it, there was an oppressive feeling of walking in a low corridor. Because this huge crack is irregular, and the distance ahead is unpredictable, after a while I began to figure out my position, not only can I not determine my geographical coordinates, but even the most basic southeast, northwest, and northwest can not be distinguished.
"Ninth Master, where do you say this stone wall leads? Why do I feel like we are walking towards the belly of the mountain" Holding the flashlight, looking left and right, Xiaopang said to the ninth master a little worriedly. There was a sound in the cave, and there were bursts of echoes when he spoke.
