Chapter 3: Finding the Secret Passage

The trees that the Thais are referring to is interesting because they grow into a "strip" like a green dragon that grows from the east side of the mountain wall to our position. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I walked along the woods and soon noticed that the soil was getting wetter and wetter, and there were more mosses and weeds.

When I walked another three or four hundred meters, I saw an extremely faint stream crawling among the cracks in the rocks in the ravine.

It's thin and silent, and it's really hard to find this stream without professionals like cats and dogs.

Fortunately, I smiled at Xian Hongye: "This mountain wall is steep, I'll go up to see it first, if there is no problem, I'm picking you up." ”

Hyun Hongye nodded and said, "Be careful. ”

Then, with a bundle of ropes, a gas mask, a walkie-talkie and two daggers, I climbed up the grass and trees, and soon came to the central part of the cliff.

As I climbed the mountain and walked on the rocks, the thin water gradually became thicker, and when I approached the black and inky bushes at the source of the water, I even heard the sound of the "ding dong" of the water drops and stones.

Anxious about the unknown, I plucked the grass and trees with my hands and looked into the depths of the cliff forest.

A gust of wind mixed with water vapor made my face twitch.

In front of me was a pitch-black cave more than two people high, this cave was covered with weeds and shrubs, even with a flashlight, it was only pitch black, and in the humid environment, I inexplicably smelled a strong smell of iron, which was very pungent at first, and made me a little breathless.

I was cautious, and did not enter immediately, but first put on the gas mask that Ah Dog had given me, and tied the climbing rope with a dagger and a bush at the entrance of the cave, and when everything was ready, I explained the situation through the cloth walkie-talkie and Ken Momiji.

On the radio, Xian Hongye shouted at me with a little excitement: "Lao Tian, let's come soon, you wait first, don't act rashly." ”

I let out an "oh", but still driven by curiosity, I raised my flashlight and walked to the first few meters of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is flat and smooth, and is basically an irregular rectangle except for the grooves washed by the water and the small stalactites on the ceiling.

If Hyun Hongye's theory is correct, such a rectangular passage should have been excavated by hand, but the question is who dug it, then it is unknown.

I know that there used to be two owners in this mountainous area, one was the remnants of the ancient mourning prison who lived high in the city of Helamber, and the other was the army and researchers who once presided over the 74 project. They all came strangely and disappeared strangely, as if they were all looking for something and destroying something.

In short, I can't guess.

With this doubt in mind, I took a flashlight and carefully examined this masterpiece of my predecessors, hoping to see some clues from it.

But after walking seven or eight meters, I was a little disappointed to find that the walls of this cave were bare, there was nothing, all seemed to be just stalactites that had just developed and flowing water that was getting deeper and deeper.

Just as I was about to move on, a voice called my name suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.

I know, Hyun Momiji, they're coming up.

Then, I turned back, and after seeing Hyun Hongye, I took off my gas mask, shook my head at Lin Shaosong and Hyun Hongye, and said, "The cave is very deep, but so far, I haven't found anything." ”

Hyun Hongye nodded, then looked around, looked at the bare stone wall, and guessed: "There will be a big flood here every year during the rainy season, and over the years, anything in the cave is likely to be washed out." ”

I nodded, and asked with some frustration, "Then is it necessary for us to go in?" ”

Lin Shaosong shone a flashlight on the dark cave, and said naturally: "It's necessary!" Why don't you take a look? Besides, didn't the Golden Fleece talk about it? There's still a lot of space in there, and there's no telling what might be left. ”

I nodded, agreeing with Lin Dashao's idea, and then Baturu and I led the team, and everyone lined up in a long snake formation and walked deeper into the cave.

As I went deeper, I found that the water in the cave was getting deeper and deeper, and when I reached the twenty or thirty meters, the turbid water was ankle-high, and the water seeping through the stalactites above my head was also increasing, and my whole body was wet.

At this time, Hyun Hongye suddenly stopped, she reached out and took some of the water that flowed down from the top of her head, and then put it in front of her nose to smell it.

Xian Hongye shook off the water in his hand and immediately said urgently: "Let's stop."

We all stopped and looked at her at the same time.

Momiji looked at us and said, "Do you smell it, there is a strong smell of iron in this tunnel?"

I nodded, "Yes, but ...... There is no iron here! ”

Hyun Momiji didn't answer me, but slowly raised the flashlight and looked at the top of the stalactite on her head......

"Ahh A scream quickly pierced my eardrums.

With this scream, Xian Hongye threw away the flashlight and quickly rushed into my arms, and Lin Shaosong's face turned red when he saw it.

In embarrassment, I had to hide my smile, and then patted Hyun Momiji on the shoulder and asked her what was wrong.

Hyun Hongye didn't speak, but in horror, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of our heads, motioning for everyone to see for themselves.

I groaned in my heart for a moment, then raised my flashlight and looked in the direction that Hyun Momiji had just shined.

A blood-red man, stretching out his limbs and leaning against the wall, was lying on the top of the cave, smiling miserably at me.

Because of some preparation, I wasn't as overly reactive as Hyun Momiji, but even so, my hands trembled and my chest suffocated.

Completely instinctive, I slammed the military dagger in my hand at the man's neck!

After a flash of white slashes, the man's head was cut off by my brush, and then the red head fell into the water...... Shattered into several pieces.

At this time, we were stunned to find that the human head that fell from the stone wall above our heads was just an empty shell. The empty shell was nothing but a few pieces of plaster-like red-white shell peeling off.

My heart sank, and I picked up a maroon shell carved with "eyes" on the ground, and I didn't understand what it was after looking at it for a long time.

Puzzled, I pushed Xian Hongye, who was still lying on top of me, and said: "It's just a hollow statue, there is nothing in it, it is estimated that it is a work of art of the ancients." ”

Hyun Hongye raised her head and looked at the eyes in my hand, her face suddenly became even paler, she shook her head abruptly and said, "It's not a work of art at all!" This thing used to be human! Living people! ”

His words were enough to short-circuit all of our brains and freeze in place.

Person...... Why did it turn into a plaster-like red shell?
