A few minutes later, the soldiers walked in one after another, and the big guy was busy for more than ten minutes before the military nylon rope was put on it, and with my order, the soldiers began to pull it hard, but the size of this guy seemed to be far beyond our previous expectations, and it took about half an hour for more than 20 people to pull this fire dragon forward about five or six meters away.

After the fire dragon was pulled away, we saw that there was a vertical downward cave under it in front of our eyes, I used a flashlight to shine down, the cave was bottomless, but the diameter was about three meters, the captain asked: "Chief, there is really a cave down here, what should I do, do you want to go down and see?" ”

I nodded and replied, "Well, but now everyone is exhausted, and it is too dangerous to go down in this way, so let everyone come in and make a fire here, and rest here, and after five hours half of the people will follow me, and the remaining half will wait on it, and if we haven't come up after five hours, the people above will come down to look for us, and if we can't find anyone within five hours, they will come back here and turn around and exit here." ”

Hearing this, the captain nodded in response, and after a while, the people at the mouth of the cave rushed over, and after seeing this huge fire dragon, almost everyone's face showed a trace of surprise, no one could have thought that there was really such a huge fire dragon in this world, but when he saw this fire dragon, a question seemed to arise immediately, such a cave mouth is not enough for such a huge fire dragon to enter and exit freely, so where did it come from, how did it come from? How long have you been here?

The professor seemed to be more interested in the questions I raised, and he took some tools and walked to the mouth of the fire dragon, and explained one after another: "To distinguish this animal, you can use a series of methods such as blood tests, DNA tests to estimate how long it has lived, but now we don't have such good machinery, so we have to use another way, look at the teeth, and under normal circumstances, we can roughly see how old it is!" ”

Listening to the professor say this, we all just sat quietly on the ground and watched the professor go to check, but when the professor just opened the lips of this fire dragon, everyone stood up at once, and saw that there was still a large piece of clothing in the teeth of this fire dragon, and the professor tore off this piece of clothing with force, I took the clothes and examined them carefully, although the clothes have been stained red with blood, but it can still be seen that it is very new, and it will not take more than ten days at most, in other words, someone has already been here and seen this fire dragon, However, no corpses, blood, ashes, or even traces of a fight were found on the way into the cave, so could it be that those who entered here had a way to keep this fire dragon from attacking them?

Thinking of this, I suddenly got goosebumps on my back, the professor did not pay attention to this fast clothes, but shifted his gaze to the top of the cave rock above his head, and under the light of more than a dozen flashlights, a complete pattern seemed to gradually appear on the top, and this pattern was consistent with the pattern on the neck of the fire dragon, the professor looked at me and said, "If I guess correctly, this fire dragon should be a janitor!" ”

Everyone didn't say anything when they heard this, because everyone knew that it was a gatekeeper, but it didn't seem to have much to do with what we were thinking, and the professor just smiled indifferently at this time: "It's very simple to let the gatekeeper open the door obediently and let them in, just give it what it needs!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I shuddered violently, and the whole person instantly understood, if this fire dragon was really trapped here for a long time, then there was only one thing it needed at this moment, and that was food.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly frowned and asked, "Professor, the other party can know the preferences and needs of this fire dragon, it seems that they are not ordinary people, it is very likely that they are ready to come, I think we can't stop here to rest!" Otherwise, they might take it away! ”

The professor didn't speak, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that he should agree with my idea, after all, since these people know how to use people to feed this fire dragon, then they must know everything about this place, for such a group of people, we must get to the destination as soon as possible, or God knows what they will take, and then run away from the other way, if this is the case, then our purpose of coming here seems to be shattered!

I let some of them pack up a little, heavy weapons and some unnecessary quilts and other things were thrown on it, everyone carried a small school bag, which was filled with bullets and some food and water, as for bazookas, explosives, heavy machine guns, sniper rifles and other things were thrown on it, everyone just had a few pistols pinned to it, a few melee weapons and so on, after all, it is far better to use cold weapons than hot weapons in places like below.

It's been almost half an hour! Our group had already packed up, and there were twenty-two people who went down with me this time, and I didn't plan to take the professor with me, but the professor had to go down, and I didn't have much to resist, so I agreed to let him go down with me.

One end of the rope was tied around the neck of this fire dragon, its size was larger than the mouth of the hole, and it was very easy for us people to drag us down, as we went down, a stream of cold air gradually penetrated into our bodies, everyone was a little shivering with cold, the flashlight light of the scout who walked in front was still moving down, it seemed that this cave was unusually deep, it had been connected to the rope four or five times, and now it was at least a hundred meters deep. Accompanied by a shout from the scout's mouth: "See the end!" ”

Everyone was barely relieved, and the heart said that it was finally the end, more than a minute later, the big guys gradually went down to the bottom, the space at the bottom was as big as the mouth of this hole, but only on one side there was a small square hole about forty or fifty centimeters high and about forty-five centimeters wide, I squatted down and shone it in with a flashlight, and there were traces of people crawling on the ground, it seemed that they should have entered from here, fortunately I let them throw away the heavy weapon, Otherwise, such a large hole may not be able to enter.

The scout was the first to climb in, and then we all climbed in one after another, each of us put their backpacks in front of them and pushed them forward little by little, crawling in this narrow place, it can be described as very crowded, painful, the clothes on the body were worn by friction in many places, and the body was also full of friction wounds, it took almost ten minutes, and we barely climbed out of this narrow cave.

However, we were a little surprised by the scene we saw when we climbed out, but to me, the scene in front of me seemed to me to be familiar to me somewhere.

There was only a platform about ten meters wide under our feet, and at the very front of the platform in front of us there was an iron lock bridge leading to the dark depths, and below the chain bridge was an endless dark abyss, and there was a bell made of bronze on each side of the chain bridge every one meter away, which was slightly different from the bell I had seen before, that is, this bell was engraved with some very small words.

We don't seem to know much about this kind of ancient writing, but for the professor it is a small meaning, the professor used a flashlight to look carefully at a bell at the chain bridge and said slowly: "It seems that we should have found the right place, it is written that purgatory, and those who enter it die!" ”

Hearing this sentence, the description on the painting and the legend seem to have been confirmed here, it seems that the original country of flowers has indeed become a purgatory on earth, I glanced at the scout in front of me, and before he could open his mouth, he nodded and stepped forward, holding a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other, and slowly walked towards the other side of the bridge.

As soon as this person walked on this chain bridge full of bells, the sound of bells on both sides began to echo non-stop, and the sound of this bell was not the same as the bell sound we had heard before, but a very strange sound, as if trying to convey something to us, but at this moment, the professor standing next to him seemed to understand something, and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Cover your ears." ”

Before the words fell, I saw that the scout who was walking in the front suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, his eyes were blank, and he looked at us with a demented expression, and we all subconsciously took a few steps back when we saw this scene, and several soldiers standing behind me also hurriedly walked in front of us and aimed their guns at him, once he dared to shoot, then what awaited him was death.

But at that moment, he suddenly lowered his gun slowly and slowly against his chin, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, which surprised us all a little, and before we could understand what was going on, we heard a 'bang' that the scout actually shot himself.

Before the gunshots fell, others fell into this endless abyss with an unstable center of gravity, and we were all a little scared when we saw this scene, and the team immediately began to speculate, some people said that he was bewitched by ghosts, and this chain bridge is really the road to purgatory, but I know that this matter is definitely not that simple, and the professor's words just now should be enough to prove that the professor seems to know something.

However, when I asked the professor again, he seemed to be as dull and blinded as the scout, and I was afraid that he would kill himself like this scout, so I hurriedly shouted, "Tie up the professor, don't let him kill himself!" ”

When several soldiers heard this, they hurriedly ran over and tied up the professor, and tied a strip of cloth to him in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue, so he bled to death, but this scene also made everyone present a little scared, everyone was worried about whether they would become the next person to commit suicide, on the other hand, I didn't seem to have any way to help them at this time, and I didn't seem to have time to react to this sudden accident.
