Chapter 19: The Abandoned Cabin
Previously, due to the existence of a certain distance, the cabin that looked like it looked from a distance did not have much psychological impact except for giving people a sense of tranquility. When we got closer, we could clearly see the carved patterns on both sides of the door, and a golden dragon was suspended directly above, as if it was free, giving people a lifelike feeling.
What really gives people a visual impact is that there is a line of small words on the top, although it is a little blurry, but standing close, it is still so clear. As follows: the place where Emperor Dashun went north.
Looking along the ground next to it, you can still vaguely see some raised foundations. Back hundreds of years ago, there was probably some big buildings here, but over time, they unnaturally faded into obscurity.
That's not right! I suddenly felt a cool air in my heart, which was just opposite to Zhang Yu's gaze, and at the same time I saw the surprise in Zhang Yu's eyes. The cabin was built in the era of Emperor Li Zicheng, and the statue of the woman outside was not the same era as it, and the mute hunter clearly showed a trace of affection for the statue of the woman just now, if this is the case, is the dumb hunter a person hundreds of years ago? Lived to the present!
If this is the case, then if it is said, it must be a bit alarmist, and no one will believe it. The thing of immortality is too ethereal, and it does not conform to scientific evidence.
Doubts aside, a few of us still walked towards the cabin in unison.
The light wasn't very bright, and we walked in with flashlights one after another. The ground was covered with dust, and compared to the clean statue of the woman outside, it was much worse. I tried to hold my breath, soothe the restlessness in my heart, and slowly observe the wooden houses that were built hundreds of years ago and have survived to this day.
At this time, a voice from Li Yu suddenly came from the front, "Come here, everyone."
Following the source of the sound, we ran quickly. I saw that on the side of the plank, there was a deep hole, which could at least allow two people to pass through, and looking at its layout, it was obvious that it went straight to the ground.
Everyone seemed a little hesitant. The Dumb Hunter has brought us here, and has given us some of its secrets, what his intentions might be.
The situation is grim, and there is not so much time to think about that, there is a good chance that there is something very important for us in this cave. Even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, it must also break through. Zhang Yu took the lead, Li Yu followed, and I jumped down with the others.
When I got to the bottom of the cave, I saw a footprint on the ground that had just been left, presumably a mute hunter. Zhang Yu motioned for us to remain silent, and took a slight look at the surroundings, and found that it seemed to be a residential residence, and some remnants of rancid food were piled up next to us.
He had not gone far before he saw the mute hunter standing alone in the distance, and in front of him was a long corridor with stone walls on both sides. Seeing that someone seemed to notice him, the mute hunter hurriedly turned around, with a trace of despair in his eyes, hurriedly stepped aside, and made some gestures to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu, who knew about it, frowned suddenly, and said with a solemn face: "He said that the two walls of this corridor hide arrows and crossbows, and as long as they touch the ground, they will trigger mechanisms." This road is the only way for us to reach the end", Zhang Yu said, tearing off a sleeve of his shirt and throwing it towards the ground.
I only heard the sound of "pop pop" suddenly, and many bows and arrows suddenly shot out from the holes in the two walls. When the sound subsided, the entire ground magically sank again, and the bow and arrow that had been shot before suddenly disappeared again. The subtle design is not surprising, but the idea is too strange, so that there will be an endless supply of bows and arrows.
It seems that we have to find a way to deal with the arrows on both walls. I looked to the sides, trying to think about it in my head. If you use explosives to blow up the wall, will it be enough? But will this just seal the intersection directly?
Zhang Yu, who frowned, immediately unloaded his baggage, took out a bundle of explosives, and said lightly: "Only violence solves it."
Except for Zhang Yu, we each held a bundle of high explosives, while Zhang Yu held a bamboo pipe in his hand and threw it away, and at the same time, shouted in his mouth: "Release".
As soon as the ignited gunpowder core touched the ground, the mechanism was activated, and the explosives that followed flew over, accompanied by a loud "boom", and the two walls in front of him collapsed between them.
Stone droplets flew and dust covered the sky.
After everything around him had calmed down, the mute hunter who had been standing on the side just now suddenly left an afterimage and ran straight into the distance.
There's definitely something in there that's important for a dumb hunter. We immediately ran up, and suddenly a huge cave appeared in front of us, and I saw a stone table placed directly above, and stone tables on both sides below, as if the emperor was feasting important ministers.
The mute hunter ran to the top of the stone table, and saw a dragon depicted on the stone wall behind the stone table, with a key in its mouth. The mute hunter, leaning to the side, took the key in his hand and walked straight towards us.
Put him down! Li Yu shouted, raised his pistol and pointed it at the mute hunter. The mute hunter with indifferent eyes looked at Li Yu as if he were a transparent person, and walked straight outside, and the fat man stopped him, "I said brother, are you just going to leave?" ”。
Startling scenes began to happen. The mute hunter, who had been gesticulating, actually spoke, "Thank you, please don't stop me!" ”。
You can talk! The fat man who heard the sound immediately exclaimed, and when he saw that the mute hunter was leaving, he even stopped him, and the monkeys and big guys also surrounded him. The dumb hunter's eyes flashed coldly, and I saw a slight wave of my hand, and a pale yellow gas floated out, and before I could figure out what was going on, I felt that my brain suddenly became dizzy, and my whole body suddenly fell to the ground, and I watched the dumb hunter leave.
When I woke up, I still had a slight pain in my head. I found myself outside the hut, and it was morning, and I could hear the birds chirping in the distance, and the fat man sat in front with a depressed face, as if someone had stolen his treasure, and everyone was silent, and I woke up at the same time as the monkey and the little K.
Staring at the towering mountain in front of him, realizing that we had all woken up, he picked up the backpack that had fallen on the ground and said indifferently, "Let's go!" We're already one night behind."
When I heard the sound, I slowly got up. Thinking back to the things that were in the purpose of last night, I still have some lingering palpitations. The mute hunter doesn't hurt our hearts, is he doing it for the sake of the statue of the woman?
After a simple meal, and then a little water, it was considered to replenish physical strength. Then the eight of us went straight to the back of the mountain pass, where there was a wooden ladder at a height of more than 50 meters above the ground, which hung on the mountain wall and hung down to the ground. Looking up, there was a mountain peak towering above the Wu Ridge, reaching into the clouds. The suspension ladder seems to be very long, but it is only at the lower end of the peak, and it is very far from the peak.
Fortunately, the dumb hunter didn't cut the ladder, and I stepped forward and pulled it hard, indicating that it was very strong, and if eight people climbed together, the ladder should be able to withstand the pressure.
Zhang Yu, who walked in front, first climbed to the suspension ladder step by step, and then I followed closely, maybe it was the peak of Wuling, and when I just climbed to only ten meters from the ground, I felt that the wind was not ordinarily big, and my body began to shake uncontrollably from side to side, and the hand holding the suspension ladder was too tight, and I couldn't help but feel a trace of pain. Zhang Yu, who was a little away from me, looked down and motioned for me to follow, otherwise the others behind him would not be able to move forward. I let out a few breaths and looked at the summit with a determined look.
The hard work pays off, and when I come up, I am already tired. I tried to sit on the ground and rest for a while while while the people behind me came up, and my eyes couldn't help but look down at the peak, where the mountains were close in front of me.
There was a long avenue ahead of us, and the Dumb Hunter must have preceded us. Zhang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the others had already come up, and immediately walked forward with the Golden Crow Treasure Knife in his hand.
I followed closely behind me, secretly sighing that Zhang Yu was really energetic, as if I had never seen him feel tired.
We hadn't gone far when there was a foul smell coming from the front of us, and the sunken ground was full of bones, almost none of which were complete. We walked around the scattered bones on the ground and headed straight ahead, a heavy bronze door in front of us, with deep knife marks on it, as if someone had chopped it with a sharp weapon before. At this moment, the bronze door had been opened, and the key inserted on it happened to be the one we had seen before, and a footprint on the ground was faintly visible. It's likely that the Dumb Hunter has been here before, but unfortunately never got the key.
Entering the bronze gate, I hurriedly stopped, and in front of us was a bottomless abyss, and there was no way at all. And above our heads, there are thick ropes hanging overhead, just hanging above our heads, the distance is only twenty or thirty meters, just a slight jump, you can touch.
By the light of the flashlight, we could see that the end of the rope was more than ten meters away from us, and around the thick rope, there was a white mushy cocoon-like thing, and there were a few drops of blood on the side of our feet.
What could that white, cocoon-like thing be? Everything seemed unknown, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart that it was certainly not going to be a good thing. In any case, it has come to this point, and there is no reason to retreat.
In addition to bringing some weapons to guard again, we threw our backpacks aside, jumped and began to climb up the thick ropes.
