Chapter 63: The Gate of Hell under the Statue of the Witch King (3)
What to do? was discovered.
Let's go down!
I gestured to Jiang Yuan, meaning that I would go down first, lest they come up and wipe out the two of us.
Jiang Yuan threw one of the two backpacks he had just stolen to me and said, "Follow me." ”
I saw that he seemed to have something to do, and after weighing the situation, I decided to follow the young man, and climbed down the rock wall and ravine, and as I crawled, I felt that something was not quite right, and stopped in a relatively flat place, and looked up, but it was dark and I could not see anything.
A few more gunshots rang out, and the people below were already in a hurry, and a few red dots were dangling back and forth in the place where we had just appeared, and they said in their hearts: The equipment of these grandsons is really good, they are all high-tech.
Walking all the way down, it didn't take long to reach the ground, with the help of some light sources below, I looked up again, and from the lower part of the rock wall, I could see that there was a huge statue on this rock wall, but what was carved was not enough, and I couldn't see it clearly.
Jiang Yuan was familiar with the way and took me through the bottom of the rock wall, and in a relatively deep ravine, I saw an open stone door, half a meter square, and I couldn't get into it if I was fat.
"What are you going to do?" I asked him.
Jiang Yuan threw his backpack into it first, and then called me over, I asked him again, and he said that this was the secret door that he had accidentally discovered when he came down just now, and it was very likely that this was the passage to the underground palace under the statue of the Witch King.
I turned on my flashlight and looked inside, it was pitch black and smelled of mold.
"How can you be sure that this is the secret passage to the underground palace under the sitting statue, what if not?"
Jiang Yuan tore off my backpack and threw it in, then pushed me to the mouth of the secret passage, and said, "You forgot, I know the second half of the ciphertext. ”
"You know."
It's like playing on a slide in the park when I was a child, and I rolled out of the secret passage with a roll, and this toss touched the wound on my left shoulder, which hurt me so much that I grinned.
Picked up the flashlight that rolled to the side, fortunately it was not broken, the flashlight turned around in it, there was nothing in the three or four square meters of size, the stone slab was paved perfectly, and the seams could not be touched at all.
Jiang Yuan also rolled down, and when he came out, I smelled a fishy smell, and I shone my hand on his body, and found that his arm was also injured.
"What's going on?"
"They found out."
I turned around in place with some anxiety, and said to myself that there was nothing in this place, and if they really came down, we wouldn't even have a chance to run.
Jiang Yuan also turned around here with a flashlight, and finally looked at me, a little depressed, like a child who made a mistake.
I suddenly felt that this place was a little weird, if the outside was really a sitting statue of the witch king, then there was no reason for the underground palace under this sitting statue to be built so shabby, not to mention, this "slide" like a secret passage is exquisitely made, so time-consuming and laborious cannot be for such a large toilet place.
"There's still a turning point."
I picked up my backpack and rummaged through the contents, in addition to some guns and ammunition, there was a small notebook, with beautiful handwriting, which should be a woman's notes.
The notes were all small things, even including the trivial matters of life such as how much is a pound of cabbage, and I patiently continued to flip through them, and when I reached the middle, there was a line of words and a simple sketch that caught my attention.
I saw the statue of the cliff witch king, opened the door of the underground palace, and was in danger.
And that sketch is a square space, and on one of the faces, there is a dot.
I was studying this notebook here, but Jiang Yuan was knocking on the wall on the other side, and he was knocking very seriously.
Suddenly, I heard a brass bell ringing from above, and then I saw white smoke coming out of the exit of the secret passage where we had just come down, "Oops, they are lighting a cigarette at the entrance of the secret passage, let's go up quickly." ”
Jiang Yuan said that he was about to get into the secret passage, but I grabbed him and said, "It's useless, if we go out now, we will die, and there may be a glimmer of life here." ”
"How?"
"Since they have discovered us, they can have come down and arrested us themselves, so why should they light a cigarette at the entrance of the secret passage, how do they know that this secret passage is a dead end?"
Jiang Yuan punched the wall, "I was negligent, there is nothing here, because the things have been taken away by them." ”
In fact, with Jiang Yuan's usual way of dealing with people, it is impossible for him not to discover the strangeness of this secret passage, and the reason why he made such a big mistake is also because his heart is already out of balance, and his anxious mentality often makes people lose their keen insight.
The smoke was getting more and more, and Jiang Yuan and I took off our clothes and blocked the secret passage to slow down the speed of the smoke pouring in.
Just after the busy work here I feel itchy on the body, grab it, the slimy thing smells very fishy, in a scratch, I feel that there is some kind of creature in this slimy liquid, I shine it with a flashlight, I can't help but gasp, my heart said, why are these things again.
These are the larvae of the Earth Dragon, as thin as a hair, but they are only the size of an embroidery needle, and they have no attack power for the time being.
Jiang Yuan suddenly raised his head and yelled that it was not good, and then pulled me to hide in the corner, my body was close to a wall, our flashlight just shone on it, and a behemoth passed over our heads, and at the same time a ball of slimy things fell, and if you looked closely, they were all dense earth dragons, which made people's scalps tingle.
"Oh no, this can't be where the mother worm lays her eggs."
Such a hypothesis suddenly came to my mind, but Jiang Yuan didn't think so, he looked up and asked me, "Boss Xiao, do you really have a fear of heights?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”
Jiang Yuan took out a set of improved mountaineering equipment from his backpack and said, "I think we are going to take a risk to climb up." ”
I moved my shoulder, it hurt a little, but thinking about the current situation, and Jiang Yuan's arm was also wounded by a gunshot, I am afraid it will not be easy for him to carry me like before.
"Actually, as long as I don't look down, I can still get over it."
Jiang Yuan gave me all the ropes and equipment, and after getting dressed, he asked me to climb up the wall.
Fortunately, the bricks of these walls are not very smooth, I wear special gloves and shoe covers to climb up is not difficult, after climbing for a while I saw a glimmer of light above my head, approaching only to find that this is a night pearl, touch it with my hand, the base of the night pearl seems to be able to rotate, I use my hand to clasp the protrusion of the place to turn clockwise, sure enough, after trying a few times, I can really move, at the same time, I also feel that the wall I am lying on my stomach also began to rotate.
After the 180-degree rotation, I was already in a splendid palace.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is splendid, everything in the stone chamber is made of pure gold.
I have never seen so much gold in my life, and I have never seen this kind of scene, and I was lost for a while, and I walked to the golden seat in the temple in a daze, and just about to go up when I heard a gunshot, and even immediately sobered up, and when I was relieved, I realized that the so-called golden splendor was only an illusion of my own appearance, and the golden seat I was going to sit on was actually a nail board full of steel nails.
I hurriedly walked down the steps and stood with Jiang Yuan, the whole stone room is not large, in addition to the nail board, there is also a pool, the pool is about three or four meters square, the water in it has dried up, and the white bones at the bottom of the pool make people feel creepy.
"What is this place?" I said to myself.
Jiang Yuan lit the fire frame here, and the stone room instantly lit up, and I saw clearly that this stone room was very much like a prison cell, with a roof, a pool, and some rotten and invisiblely things on the side, all of which made me feel that this was an interrogation room for prisoners.
But Jiang Yuan rejected my idea, he pointed to some rotten wood on the floor of the stone chamber, and said, "This should be the place where sacrifices are made before the sacrificial ceremony." ”
"Make sacrifices." I repeated his words almost at maximum volume.
Jiang Yuan squatted on the ground and pulled out some rusty tools from the rotten wood, some of which I could tell were knives, others were circles, and a few of them were of special shapes that I didn't know what they were used for.
Jiang Yuan held a rusty bone scraper and said, "The sacrifice of the Rama Wu clan is bloody and cruel, and before the sacrifice ceremony begins, these sacrifices will be processed here before they can be sent to the shrine for sacrifice." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be some pictures in front of my eyes, those young women were brought here in masks, five big and three thick men fixed these young girls on the wooden platform, and the masked witch in a black robe slowly walked to the girl's head with a tool in her hand, and the screams went straight to the ear drums, which made people unbearable to look at directly.
I quickly closed my eyes, although the picture disappeared, but the miserable screams still existed, Jiang Yuan fired another shot, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
