Chapter 154: A Square Stone Pillar in the Abyss

A black and strange black shadow suddenly appeared on the stone steps, so startled that I accidentally fell down from the stone steps, but fortunately, the passage of the stairs was very narrow, so that I was fortunate enough to stop the rolling, and only my left hand was injured.

The fat man and the others soon rushed to my approach.

When I heard the fat man say that he was standing behind me just now, but I clearly remembered that before I fell, I felt that there was no sound behind me, as if no one was following, so I looked back suspiciously. As a result, I saw a big black shadow rushing towards me, so I fell down, why would the fat man say that he was following me at that time, but I didn't see half a figure, was I "blinded by a ghost" at that time?

The fall just now suddenly reminded me that the black shadow that had been hiding around the team and had repeatedly murdered me was making trouble just now. I haven't seen it appear for a long time, and I've forgotten about the ghostly shadow, but I didn't expect it to start making trouble again.

When I saw that the crowd was gathering around me in a hurry, I asked them worriedly, "What is the situation in the future?" ”

The fat man grinned and said with a grin: "Those ugly masked monsters, for some reason they didn't chase in, I guess they are not good at crawling on the stairs, for fear of falling to death." ”

I know that the fat man's last words are to tease me pointedly, but I'm not in the mood to deal with him right now. The mask horseshoe crab did not dare to climb into here, it would definitely not be as simple as the fat man thought, there must be something more terrifying under this endless staircase, so that the mask knotted horseshoe crab did not dare to come down.

Since entering the frozen area in the western part of the Kunlun Mountains, I have found that most of these strange creatures have their own life range. Generally, they do not step lightly into the circle of other creatures. All I am convinced of is at the end of these stone steps. There must be even more terrifying creatures waiting for us to throw themselves into the net.

I blew out the fire fold in my hand. Carefully put it back into my arms, this is the last fire break on my body, and I must take care of it.

I saw that Tianyu was supported by the playboy, and although he was not in a good state, he was still very awake and able to walk on his own, so I felt a lot more relieved.

I rolled down the stairs and hurt my ankle a little, so I tricked the fat man into carrying me, because at this time. I really want to get some sleep.

The fat man glared at me, and then said, "It's not that I don't want to carry you, it's just that I'm itchy and uncomfortable, so I'll help you go miserably!" With that, he helped me downward.

The fat man said that his body was itchy and uncomfortable, and the people around him also muttered that his body was also itchy and uncomfortable, and some people said worriedly: "Shouldn't everyone be poisoned, so the skin will itch and ache?"

I'm feeling sick right now, but it's not the time to rest. I had to comfort everyone and said: "My junior sister knows some medical skills, let's go down the stairs as much as possible, so that she can check everyone's symptoms, I don't think it should be poisoned." ”

I said it wasn't poisoning. But my heart is very unscored. But now we have to say something of comfort, not to demoralize everyone at this moment.

Narrow, dimly lit stone steps spiral down and are endless. At first, the fat man still had the number of steps to count the ladder, and later. My brain was confused, and I completely forgot where to count. My heart goes down the ladder with ever. I kept falling downward, and I was very worried: If I continue like this, I will almost reach the center of the earth, and there should be no hell abyss below!

As I was worried, the stone staircase came to the end, and we came to a cliff.

In the pitch black underground, there was a dark cliff in front of them, and everyone walked to the cliff with curiosity.

Looking at the dark and deep underground, I remembered that when I was in the eastern part of Kunlun Mountain, I had encountered the same abyss. This bottomless, terrifying abyss seems to lead to the end of sin. However, the abyss seen in the eastern cave group has a thin slab of volcanic rock with a moth's eye on it, and a sword mountain as sharp as a sharp blade below, but the abyss here is pitch black from far and near, as if nothing exists.

The fat man tied a small candle with a rope, then lit the candle, leaned over and hung the candle upside down into the abyss below the cliff. But the ropes that were dozens of feet long were all gone, the abyss was still bottomless, and the light of the candles disappeared into darkness.

Everyone looked at the bottomless abyss, the cold was pressing, and an inexplicable panic suddenly arose in their hearts.

The fat man pulled the rope up, and found that the candle had not been extinguished, and when he threw the rope upward, he found that in front of the abyss, there seemed to be a square stone pillar, about a foot square, which could accommodate a man to step on it.

Everyone immediately lit the flashlights, and the brushes focused on the front, and found that in the dark abyss, there were many square stone pillars erected, each stone pillar was about one step apart, extending longitudinally forward, and finally disappeared into the darkness. Because the square stone pillar is black, it is difficult to detect the fusion in the dark, so everyone didn't notice it just now.

It is unknown where the square pillars end up, as the light source is so limited that it is impossible to see into the distance. To everyone's confusion, these square stone pillars were obviously artificial, who got these square stone pillars into the abyss, and how did they put them into this bottomless, pitch-black abyss? With the power of today's technology, it should not be possible to implement it, nor can it be interpreted. And in ancient times, who accomplished this impossible task?

Everyone felt that they should step over to the square stone pillar and go to the opposite side to see if there was a way. However, the stone pillar is only one foot square, and only one person can walk on it, and if everyone goes up to the stone pillar together, if something happens on it, it is very inconvenient to escape, and it may fall into the abyss at once.

Therefore, it is better for one person to explore the path first, and after seeing the situation, the others will act.

In the pitch-black underground, if you hang above the abyss again, if you are attacked in isolation, it will undoubtedly be a dead end. The pathfinders who took the lead undoubtedly risked their lives to play the role of a death squad.

There are only nine members left in the Western Expedition now, and Xiao Knockba did not escape the siege of the mask horseshoe crab, and unfortunately died, and I didn't even have time to look at him for the last time. Tianyu and Ge Laojiu are both seriously ill, and now they have fallen asleep on the cold ground; Fat Man and Chen Dong were both seriously injured when they were acting as bait in the Snow Valley before, especially their legs, and they were really not suitable for such a high-risk thing. And Kun Ba is as timid as a mouse, he has been clamoring that he has a fear of heights, Zha Wuye and Captain Chen are the people in charge of the team, they had better stay and take care of everyone, and the rest of the playboy is stronger than me, but he is not a real inverted fighting craftsman, and he is also a foreigner, with all kinds of pros and cons, and in the end, only I can be qualified for this dangerous task.

After a few words of advice to the crowd, I handed my backpack to the fat man, and then tied a bundle of rope around my waist, and with a horn scimitar and flashlight in hand, I prepared to set off.

At this time, Tianyu, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly woke up, grabbed my sleeve and said, "Be careful." ”

I nodded, but the fat man kept stopping me, saying that he would go over and take a look, and I persuaded him: "You stay and take care of the others, I'll go over and see first, if there is a trap on the other side, you don't understand, then I have to run, why don't I go over and take a look now." If it is a passage, I will shout loudly to inform you, and it will be the same if you go over again. ”

The fat man reluctantly let go of his hand, and then nodded, and he and the dude were very worried and accompanied me to the edge of the cliff.

I held the flashlight, first illuminated the dark abyss, far below, the thick darkness made people feel extreme fear and panic, look at it more, you will feel that your heart will be swallowed up by the darkness below, I immediately shine the flashlight on the nearest square stone pillar, and then jumped up without hesitation.

I kept jumping forward on the square stone pillar, for fear that if I stopped, my heart would be filled with fear and worry, and my legs would tremble. Therefore, only by jumping forward quickly without distractions can we reach the other side safely.

I kept jumping and counting in my mind, and soon I had jumped over twenty-five stone pillars in a row, and when I jumped to the thirty-fifth stone pillar, I stopped. There was no longer anyone behind him, and in front of the flashlight, there seemed to be something very large, but it was too far away to see clearly. Moreover, I noticed that there was something unusual about the darkness underneath here.

I've been walking underground for many years, and I've long since adapted to the darkness, and my eyes are very good, even in the dark, I can see far away. But since I came down from the top of the stone steps, I felt that the surroundings were strangely dark, and the air seemed to be filled with a black mist that would swallow the light, making the ground as black as the bottom of a pot, and I couldn't reach my fingers at a very close distance. And just when I was amazed that it was too dark around me, before I knew it, the square stone pillar under my feet had come to an end. A full seventy-seven and forty-nine square stone pillars are erected in the bottomless dark abyss.

At the end of the square stone pillar, it is not the land on the other side, but an earless bronze plate hanging in the middle of the abyss, in its lower abdomen, there is a circle of exquisite lotus petal patterns, and the bottom of the abdomen is all engraved dragon patterns, and the dragon scales on the back of the dragon's back can be vaguely seen, like the pattern of a mask.

The heavy and quiet bronze disc hangs on the chest, within reach, but it is very eerie and hangs in the air, with nothing up and down, like a wonderful picture in an illusory magic.

But the scene in front of me was not magic, the bronze lotus petal-patterned disc was indeed very strangely floating in front of my eyes. (To be continued......)
