Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Army of the Night

It can be said that "five zhang is still water on the top, and all the smoke is below ten zhang." The situation is from hundreds to thousands of feet, and the water clouds and smoke are indistinguishable. ”

This is the scene from the cliff chain bridge looking down.

Of course, Lao Gu will not look down. He almost kept walking with Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi 'supporting' and dragging.

Not to mention, in fact, this is not to blame. It is true that a person who does not have a certain amount of guts and courage will not be able to walk on this bridge.

Due to the mist, the whole bridge is slippery, and if you are unstable under your feet, it is easy to 'lose your footing and become a thousand hatreds'!

In addition, the waterfall is so powerful that the entire suspension bridge trembles. As long as one stands on it, there is a feeling that one is going to be turned upside down.

In the end, Jiang Qi told Qin Zhen that he must relax when walking on this kind of suspension bridge, master the rhythm of the whole bridge shaking and swinging, relax his body with it, and keep himself and the bridge in a rhythm. That way, you won't feel like you're going to be left behind.

At a distance of a few hundred meters, there is an abyss at your feet. Qin Zhen couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, this is a real sense of isolation! I don't know what kind of picture it will look like on the other side of this waterfall.

In a frightened and frightening situation, they finally walked under the rainbow. Walk through the rainbow like a dream.

The water here is bigger, and their clothes are wet. But no one dared to run, nor did they dare to hide. I'm afraid that if the rhythm is wrong, I will lose my balance of gravity.

It turns out that in the middle of these two waterfalls is a mountain stream, a very peculiar natural landscape, like a canyon and a cave. At the beginning, the place was sometimes heavenly, sometimes closed. And this chain bridge is the only way to connect the cave in the middle of this waterfall with the other side.

Finally leaving the chilling chain bridge, Qin Zhen helped Lao Gu to stand at the entrance of the cave, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down. Not to mention a person with a fear of heights like Lao Gu, even Qin Zhen, after walking down these few hundred meters, he felt more or less weak.

I thought that the sound of the water in the waterfall outside the cave was like thunder, so the sound in this cave must be similar. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the cave, they seemed to be immediately isolated from the thousands of troops outside, and instantly became quiet. It also calms people's minds a little bit.

If it weren't for the fact that they could still see the mist outside and silver beads splashing everywhere, it would be hard for the people in the cave to believe that there had really been that thrilling scene outside.

After letting Lao Gu slow down again, Jiang Qi smiled and asked, "Brother, are you okay?!" ”

With this gentleman's smile, even Yu Dong couldn't help but turn his head to look at him. Presumably, even for Yudong, it was a strange thing to see Jiang Qi grinning.

Gu Jie also smiled bitterly and waved his hand and said, "Daqi, are you trying to appease my traumatized heart?" Guys, when you laugh, I forgot to be afraid! ”

As he spoke, Lao Gu stood up straight, straightened his waist, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry!" Brothers! Lu Bu in the horse, the old Gu among the people! This is a beautiful talk that will not change through the ages. No matter how scary the bridge is, as long as we come over, we will be heroes again! ”

Jiang Qi nodded and did not speak. But Qin Zhen couldn't turn a deaf ear and pretend to be nothing. He didn't understand whether Jiang Qi really didn't pay attention to that shameless remark, or did he deliberately not demolish him?

So Qin Zhen patted Gu Jie's back from behind, and said with obvious protest, "Dude, repeat what you just said, even if Luo Guanzhong and Lu Bu's ghosts don't come out and strangle you, then the red rabbit horse can't do it!" Don't spoil classical Chinese culture here, okay? ”

Gu Jie squinted at Qin Zhen, and when he finished speaking, Gu Jie glared at Qin Zhen and said impatiently, "Da Zhen, I found out why are you acting like a mother now?" You have a lot of ability! Don't you have the skills to do something that will contribute to everyone?! Well, go ahead and explore the way! You can't see anything in the dark and dark in the cave, and you're in charge of leading the way. ”

Qin Zhen was anxious when he heard this, crossed his waist and narrowed his eyes, looked at Gu Jie and said fiercely, "Old Gu, do you have a pit in your head?" Is there water in the pit? Are there fish in the water? You're sick, are you going to let me do this? If I'm capable, can I still get your turn to be the head along the way?? The more Qin Zhen spoke, the more angry he became! A stomach full of indignation.

"Alright, I'll go." Yu Dong faintly interrupted the bickering between them. Qin Zhen and Gu Jie glared at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Now, if they weren't just fished out of the water, they weren't much like soup chicken. The temperature in the cave was very low, and suddenly everyone began to feel a chill.

Fortunately, the flashlights and lighting prepared by Yudong are all waterproof. Otherwise, with the current humidity, it will be difficult for them to self-immolate.

Everyone turned on the flashlight one after another, and looked back at the sky outside, as if they were nostalgic for the scenery of the world for the last time. Since the Lop Nur desert, they have begun to have some fear and resistance to the darkness.

Because in the darkness of the unknown, no one knows what awaits them. No one can be sure that from the moment they step into the darkness, there will be a chance to see the light again.

If you look closely at the environment inside the cave, it seems to be a hollow part of a mountain stream. The upper and lower floors are full of strange rocks. The slightly smoother stone walls are also carved with ancient and unknown characters and symbols. These strange characters with unknown meanings add a terrifying atmosphere to the cave.

Where the flashlight swept by, there were dazzling stalactites, delicate charcoal curtains, ornate cave pearls, and colorful calcification pools. I think bigger, if this place is developed into a tourist resort, then why should Huzi and their village worry about the problem of leek buns? It's definitely going to be a one-night getaway!

I didn't go far into the cave before a stone pillar with a diameter of about 7 or 8 meters was lifted up in the air. It was like a high platform for sacrifice. This made Qin Zhen a little discouraged. Because the sacrificial rituals in these places are so terrifying and bizarre. Who knows how many creatures have died in vain on this high platform.

The further I went, the more countless dots of blue light began to appear around me. When Gu Jie asked if those treasures would be, Yu Dong replied to him with a very tactful answer: it was the last remaining light of various creatures blooming in the darkness. If translated into the vernacular that Qin Zhen understood, it would be --- phosphorus fire.

People instinctively crave light in the dark, and the shining light of these stars gives people both hope and fear. For all the creatures here, they seem to see only their light, not their form.

Yu Dong reminded everyone at this time, "You must be more careful, some creatures here, just by the body fluids they secrete, can devour a life close to them." ”

Hearing this, Lao Gu sighed and regretted: "You say, why didn't any of you think about asking for Huzi's bamboo basket?" The herbs in his basket were said to be good at repelling snakes and insects. How could he have managed to bring such good things back? It's a big failure. ”

"Eh, can you hide your robber's bandit nature properly?? At that time, I was just thinking about looking for the Demon King, how could I care about taking it by force? Don't think about that useless, pay more attention to your surroundings! Qin Zhen said angrily, but he was full of concern in his heart.

At this time, Gu Jie casually flicked the flashlight and shone on the roof of the cave. The moment he raised his eyes, the whole person froze!

Qin Zhen walked past him and urged him to hurry up, now is not the time to visit the cave.

But Lao Gu not only didn't move, but said with a slightly trembling voice, "Dong, Dongshao...... It doesn't seem like there's just four of us here, it's very lively here......"

Qin Zhen was quite confused by his words, so he walked back and asked him what was going on. He and Yu Dong saw that Lao Gu kept holding the flashlight and looked up, so they also looked up.

Just looking at it like this, Qin Zhen suddenly got goosebumps all over his body! If someone with dense fear sees this scene, he will go crazy if he doesn't go crazy!

There are no rocks, stalagmites, or stalactites to be seen from the top of the cave...... There, there are all dense little eyes!!

A pair of small eyes, close together, full of the entire roof of the cave! Just looking down at them from above without blinking!!

Qin Zhen felt sick for a while, so he turned his head and hurriedly urged, "Let's, let's go quickly!" The bats in this place may not be normal! Walk around ......."

After Yu Dong saw those dense eyes, he also showed a trace of panic! Qin Zhen still wondered, why didn't he hurry up and stare at a group of bats in a panic? It's daytime, and I guess everyone is sleeping! Before you wake up the dream of this group of night army, when will you not leave at this time?!

Yu Dong pulled Qin Zhen over at this time, and asked extremely strictly, "Qin Zhen, did you bring your clothes?" ”

"Ah...... Well. Qin Zhen didn't react at once, he didn't understand what this had to do with bats? If you want to change your clothes, go out and change them again! What are you talking about here?

Unexpectedly, Yudong immediately answered again, "Quick, take out all your clothes." ”

Qin Zhen looked dazed, not understanding what Yudong meant at all. It wasn't until Yudong urged again that he quickly and obediently took out two clothes from his backpack.

Yu Dong grabbed his clothes and pulled them very quickly! In an instant, the garment was torn to strips......

Qin Zhen was stupid!! I said that even if my clothes are not very valuable, I can't/them so badly!!

When he understood Yu Dong's next move, Qin Zhen roared angrily in a low voice, "Xia, Yu, Dong!" Why don't you make torches?! Yes? Come on, you make up a reasonable explanation for me!! ”

That's right. Yu Dong was now using the strips of cloth torn from Qin Zhen's clothes to wrap around the pathfinder sticks that they fortunately hadn't thrown away. And neatly took out a small bottle of fuel and poured it on it.

Of course, he didn't rush to order. Instead, after making four simple torches as fast as he could, he said to them all, "I think the bats here might say a little bit." We don't know the rules of entering the village, and before we get out of this cave, it is estimated that conflicts with them are inevitable.

Moreover, the bats here are definitely not ordinary bats, and the things raised by the Demon Lord are either poisonous or Gu. The consequence of being bitten is that you will probably not be able to get out of this hole. From the countless phosphorus fires, it can be seen that this seemingly peaceful cave is actually a tragic battlefield. ”

Being told by Yu Dong made Qin Zhen truly aware of the danger and fear. Yes, in terms of the number of these bats, not to mention that they are blood-sucking and poisonous. Even if they don't bring anything, it's terrible to besiege them together!

With such a huge number, once they come out, it is estimated that they will be annihilated by this stream of darkness in an instant!
