Chapter 19: The Strange Cave

"All directions!" Xiu'er picked up again.

Hey, these two sang and harmonized, so that Kuroko and I stood aside as weakly as ornaments.

"Yes! It turned out that the hints had always been so obvious in front of everyone's eyes, but they were ignored because everyone came to the ancient tomb and didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery. I have to say, this trick is really high! ”

Kuroko spoke, "In that case, isn't it easy to find out the location?" ”

Old Man Shi nodded, "As long as you find an excellent location, you can take these landscapes into your field of vision, and draw a map according to the direction indicated by each one, you will definitely be able to easily find the location of the ancient tomb!" Apparently he was thrilled to find out.

So for the next day, the four of us were almost non-stop on the road, running from this peak to that peak, from that peak to another peak, and under such a crazy run, we will finally find a deserted mountain that can unify all the landscapes at sunset.

Although this location is not what everyone expected, I thought it must be in a very high place. But I never thought that on such an inconspicuous mountain, I could have a unique view. I can only sigh that the power of nature is something that mortals like me cannot easily fathom!

"It's night now, and the view is blocked, it seems that we can only rest for one night first, and we can determine the location of the ancient tomb tomorrow!" Old man Shi tried to depict the direction indicated by the landscape in the dim light, but he couldn't succeed after tossing several times, so he could only give up and said.

"It's okay to rest for a night, but everyone's tents have been destroyed, and if you sit like this all night, I'm afraid you can really freeze to death in the middle of the night!" I reminded.

Kuroko thought for a while and said, "On the way up just now, I noticed that there is a cave halfway up the mountain, we can live in it temporarily, make a fire to keep warm, and it shouldn't be a problem to spend tonight." ”

Cave? To be honest, I would be extremely reluctant to enter the cave if I had a choice. The mountains here are full of evil spirits, and if you spend a night in a cave, you don't know what strange things will happen.

Unfortunately, there were no more options at this moment, so everyone had to go back the way they came, and about half an hour later, they arrived at the cave that Kuroko had mentioned. I saw that the entrance of the cave had already been tightly covered by dead vines and old trees, and only a trace was exposed. Kuroko pulled out the green knife on his waist, and after a few slashes, the roots of the tree were all broken, revealing a hole that allowed people to bend down and enter. Two miner's lamps shone into it, and the light at the front was swallowed up at once, and it was impossible to see how deep it was.

"Want to go in here? Or don't! Old man Shi's timidity flared up, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move half a step.

I opened my eyes wide to make sure there was any threat inside, but I couldn't see anything. Kuroko glanced back at us, as if asking if we wanted to go in.

Xiu'er took my hand and nodded at me, "That's the only way, you can't stay outside and freeze to death!" ”

"Yes!" I thought that as long as there were no demons in this cave, nothing else was worth fearing.

Seeing this, Heizi took the lead in bending down with a green knife in one hand and a miner's lamp in the other, Xiu'er and I followed, and after all three of us entered, the hesitant old man Shi finally mustered up the courage to follow.

After walking for about three minutes, the height of the cave was enough for people to walk upright normally, and the stone walls on both sides that were originally close to the body gradually became estranged, and the space became much larger, and there was a slight cold water on the ground, which was probably left over from the previous rainstorm and had not been dried out. The straight light still couldn't reach the bottom of the cave, so when he continued to walk for five minutes and found a flat stone face, the leader of the sunspot stopped, "It's here!" ”

We were relieved to hear the pillar, it wasn't that far from the entrance of the cave, and if something weird happened, it wouldn't take much time to escape. I leaned my backpack against the stone wall, and my hand inadvertently touched the cyan stones, and a feeling of being moist and soft through my palm passed into my mind, making my hand reluctant to leave.

Seeing this, Xiu'er shouted puzzledly, "Mosquito, what are you doing?" It's time to pick up firewood and make a fire! ”

I turned my head to her and said, "Xiu'er, come and feel it, this stone is so comfortable to touch!" It won't feel cold at all! ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiu'er came over suspiciously, followed my example and put her hand on the stone, and after a while, she said, "It's really, so strange!" Old man Shi, do you know a lot, do you know what the reason is? ”

Old man Shi held the firewood he picked up everywhere in his arms, put it at the feet of everyone, and looked at the square and quite neat plane carefully, stared at the light in my hand for a long time, and suddenly made a surprised sound: "No! ”

"Won't anything?" I asked hurriedly.

"Don't you think it feels like a living thing?" Old man Shi unconsciously moved back two steps, and said such a sentence coldly.

As soon as these words came out, Xiu'er and I were immediately frightened and quickly withdrew our hands, only to see that the palm of my hand was already covered with a thin layer of water, and after gently tearing it off, it felt like a layer of human skin, and I was so disgusting that I immediately threw it away.

After lighting the fire, the sunspot stopped when he saw this, "Don't throw it yet!" As he spoke, he hurriedly ran over and took over the film, and from the reflection of the firelight, it was faintly visible that there were dense fine particles on it, which was really seeping.

Xiu'er has been in contact with the stone wall for a much shorter time than me, so there is only a little bit on the palm of her hand, and it will be clean after wiping it off at will. Old man Shi leaned over to the sunspot and looked at the mist in horror, then turned his gaze to the stone wall again, and said as if he couldn't believe what he was about to say, "It's molting?" ”

Scold! The more I talked, the more evil it became, and Xiu'er grabbed my arm in fright. Finally Kuroko spoke, "And no matter what it is, let's try to stay away from these stones, and this cave is quite strange, I don't know how deep it is!" ”

Old man Shi hurriedly echoed and said, "Yes, yes, there are countless strange things in nature, for the sake of safety, it is better not to ask for everything in everything." "According to him, I am afraid that I would like to run out of this eerie cave right now. It's just that a few of us haven't expressed our position, so it's hard to explain.

Kuroko sat down beside the fire and threw the film into the fire casually, man is a very strange creature, and when he experiences more similar things, he will gradually become numb, no, I saw his actions, and almost didn't react at all.

When the film was put into the fire, it immediately emitted a disgusting burning smell, which was quite similar to the smell of corpses burning before. Could it be that this stone wall is really a living thing?
