Chapter Ninety-Eight: Escape
I was on top of the pillar, looking at Lu Haikong in surprise, he waved his hand at us, looked at me more deeply, but didn't say a word, turned around and jumped into the secret passage.
I exclaimed in surprise and was about to jump, but Lao Pan pulled me and whispered: "Leave him alone, he has his things to do, you have your things to do, hurry up." β
"But this place is about to collapse, and he ...... down now."
"He's an old monster, he hasn't died without eating or drinking for a hundred years, what are you worried about him?"
Zhang Ye was below me, rolled his eyes at me and said, I was speechless for a moment, he pushed me again and said: "Don't worry, he should be going to help Brother An, one of them is a descendant of the great shaman, and the other is a great shaman guard, he definitely doesn't want to watch Brother An die." β
"You're saying he's not going to die?"
"God knows."
I didn't say anything, and Lao Pan finally said to me: "You have to remember, do us this, never look back, if you can survive one, even if you earn one." β
I glanced at the trap, gritted my teeth, and turned to climb up.
Lao Pan is right, now is not the time to be entangled and hesitated, if you can survive one, you will earn one.
We quickly climbed to the top of the pillar, and when we looked down, the altar below had become very small, and we were now more than twenty meters away from the ground, which seemed to be a miscalculation.
At the top of this pillar, above the dome, there were indeed a few stone bricks that were moving, Yan Laogou and Da Kui had already drilled into it, and a few of us followed closely, only to find that it was originally an oblique passage, very narrow, and a body like me could only bend down and crawl forward in it, as for Da Kui, he could only climb inside.
But no matter how it is, it's already a surprise to be able to get out, in this passage, I suddenly remembered that when we came out of the underground bunker before, we also walked such a thief hole, I didn't think that the history was strikingly similar, I just don't know, this passage, but who left it?
This passage is obliquely upward, there is nothing special, and it is not very long, it is only about ten meters away, Yan Laogou and Da Kui suddenly opened a huge stone in front of them, and suddenly the long-lost sunlight poured down from outside, we let out a cheer and rushed out one after another.
Outside is still bare stone ground, this exit turned out to be a hidden place in the corner of a mountain col, there is sunlight from a distance, through the surrounding mist, I gasped and lay on the stone, the nerves that had been tense for a long time relaxed at this time, and suddenly felt that the strength in my body suddenly disappeared, as if I had just run a 10,000-meter marathon, and the bone frame was about to disperse.
The sun overhead was shining warmly, and it seemed like an early morning, another new beginning.
Everyone was tired, and they all fell to the ground, panting for breath, and their faces were full of excitement for the rest of their lives.
We tossed around in this black water demon cave for a long time, running around like a swarm of headless flies, but we never imagined that this exit was actually in the stone chamber we arrived at first, and it was so easy to get out.
Perhaps, life is like this, going around and around, going through vicissitudes, and suddenly one day I found that what I was looking for all my life was actually around me.
I lay down for a while, and then I felt a little relieved, and then I looked up and saw a huge pillar of more than ten meters next to us standing in the sky, which was the "lightning rod".
I flipped over and sat up, and was about to step forward to take a closer look, when suddenly there was a violent shaking from under me, followed by a deafening roar, and suddenly rushed out of the cave exit next to me, and a cloud of dust like a tornado rose into the sky.
I hurriedly covered my ears and lay on the ground, and the others were similar to me, and after a long time, the sound gradually disappeared, and the surrounding vibration slowly stopped.
A few of us stared at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and waited for a while, and finally there was no sound, and the dust that was rushing up from the sky slowly dissipated, and all of them fell silent.
"Below, below......" Da Kui looked at the entrance of the cave in a daze, hesitated and said, Zhang Ye glared at him and said, "You are down there, let's go home below." β
Da Kui scratched his head: "But, but that little brother ......"
The crowd was silent again, and my heart sank, and I went to the cave and looked down, only to see that it was dark and dreary, and I could not see anything, nor did I make any sound.
"Don't think about it, we're not completely out of danger yet, let's go down the mountain first."
Lao Pan said to us calmly, we also know that if this black water demon cave continues to collapse, then we are also in a dangerous place at this time, but when we look up, we no longer know the path, and the mountain road when we came is completely gone.
Yan Laogou next to him didn't say anything, and suddenly said at this time: "A few gentlemen, I can find a way down the mountain, but it's ......."
He pretended to groan, and Lao Pan didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Old guy, don't worry, my words count, when I leave here and cross Heilongjiang, everyone should have never seen here, you go your way, I cross my bridge, and the two don't offend, but I also have something to ask you, but that will have to wait until we get out of danger first." β
Yan Lao Gou was a single person, and immediately nodded in response, and we went back to the cave, and pushed the boulder back, and then Yan Lao Dog led the way, and we walked together to the side of the mountain.
We are not afraid of him making ghosts, anyway, now his little fate is in our hands, Zhang Ye is always within two meters of him, playing with a flying knife in his hand, as long as Yan Laogou dares to have a trace of abnormality, it is the time for him to return to the west.
We soon came to the pillar of the sky, Ah Sheng couldn't help but step forward and knock a few times, the sound of metal was still the same, he scraped off some rust with his dagger, checked it, and said, "This is a copper pillar." β
"Bronze pillars? With such a large copper pillar, how much copper does it have to use, and how can it be transported? I looked up at the bronze pillar in amazement, and my heart felt solemn.
"It may not have been shipped, but in my opinion, this is probably an underground copper mine." Ah Sheng picked up a stone from the ground, held it in his hand and said.
"Underground copper mines, my God, you mean, this was originally a copper mine? But how could this become a black water demon cave again, if it is a copper mine, then it should be vigorously mined. β
I said in surprise, Ah Sheng shook his head, with a confused look on his face, and Lao Pan continued beside him: "Maybe someone found out that this was a copper mine in the past and built this copper pillar, but it was disrupted by the 'dragon' living in the cave, so naturally it can't be mined." β
None of us can confirm this question, Da Kui walked over and touched the copper pillar, and asked: "You just said that Lu or something, lying on top of this thing and letting the thunder split, but this is not iron, can it conduct electricity?" β
Ah Sheng looked at him speechless for a while, Zhang Ye turned around and scolded: "Two hundred and five, your wires are not copper?" β
Da Kui suddenly realized, and slapped his head violently: "Hey, isn't it......"
However, this time, Da Kui's appearance did not make us laugh, but at the same time he looked back at the cave, and it was estimated that the same question had already circled in our minds.
How can a person who has been struck by lightning remain immortal for a hundred years?
What kind of secrets are hidden in this mysterious Black Water Demon Cave, the huge pillar of heaven?
Is this really just a place of sacrifice?
Full of doubts, we descended along a mountain road, and Yan Lao Dog really didn't play tricks, and after about half an hour, we had returned to the foot of the mountain where we came.
We are finally safe, all of them breathe a sigh of relief, turn around and look back at the Black Water Demon Cave that left us with terrifying memories, the previous scenes are like nightmares, in fact, strictly speaking, we have not encountered any man-eating demons here, nor have there been mutated monsters, but the thrilling Cheng dΓΉ is more memorable than the last fight with the giant python.
But at this time, I suddenly remembered something, and secretly said bad in my heart, so I hurriedly grabbed Lao Pan and asked, "What about the thing taken out of the ding?" β
It must have been very important, but I remember being snatched by the old fish and never seen again. When Lao Pan saw me asking, he reached into his arms and took out the piece of iron, shook it at me and said, "Don't worry, I will have brought it back a long time ago." β
I looked at it, then I breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice: "I said, what kind of treasure is this, you guy, you have been hiding it from me, how about it, do you still want to keep it secret?" β
Lao Pan glanced down at the piece of iron, but with a wry smile on his face, he said, "It's not that I don't want to sue you, it's really nothing to say, so let's do it, when we go back, I'll show you your uncle's letter, how about it?" β
This can be regarded as his sincerity, but I still want to know what this thing is, Lao Pan lifted the iron piece, carefully observed it for a while, and suddenly squinted his eyes and said, "This seems to be an ancient half-cut sword blade." β
