Everyone felt that there was something unusual here, so they stopped in the middle of the white tunnel for a while, taking the opportunity to move their numb arms. At this time, everyone is in danger, and they are a little hesitant, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

I began to suspect that the tunnel leading to the altar was a trap in which the contents were constantly interfering with the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The fatigue caused by always maintaining a fixed posture makes people's limbs sore, loses their original keen senses, and the fishy smell like salted fish also makes people's minds disordered.

With duct tape on your eyes, you have no sense of direction at all, and if you get too nervous and leave the walls of the tunnel a little, you are likely to turn around and lose the reference point for moving forward, which is no child's play. But he didn't dare to tear off the tape to see things in the tunnel, so he had to remind everyone walking in front of him, first, no matter what happened, they must lean against the wall on the left side and not leave; Second, no one is allowed to tear off the tape from their eyes without authorization, and they should not scare themselves and mess with themselves.

I heard the fat man at the front of the line say to me, "Old Hu, there is a snake in this hole, do you hear it?" It's a lot. If we don't take off the tape, we will die, so why don't we just wait to be bitten? I am thick, although I don't care about being the first soldier, but this commander is full of iron and can I grind a few nails? I can't stand a bite from a poisonous snake at all. ”

Now five people are equal to five blind people, and if there are really poisonous snakes in this tunnel, we are basically equivalent to meat on the board, and we can only let it bite and eat.

I put my index finger to my lips and said to the fat man, "Shh......hh Don't make a sound, listen carefully, and listen first to see if there really is a snake. Even Uncle Ming and the others held their breath and quietly listened to the movements around them. Some people say that the ears of blind people are several times stronger than normal, because the loss of one bodily function will double the use of another function, so it becomes more developed. However, we are now just covering our eyes and not really blind, so I don't know whether we are temporarily concentrating our whole body and mind on our ears, or if there is a unique structure in this white tunnel that can produce a special sound effect, in short, even some subtle sounds seem to be invisibly amplified, and we can hear them very clearly, which makes people's hearts more and more uneasy.

Listen carefully, there are constant sounds of rustling in front and behind, as well as the sound of poisonous snakes spitting letters, the number is unimaginable. Maybe there are not many of them, but the sound is amplified many times by this tunnel, giving the illusion of a tidal wave. As you can tell, the snakes seem to be rapidly approaching us. I don't know how the people in front of me are, Shirley Yang, who is closest to me, is already trembling a little. The powerful grinding sound of the scales, and the sharp metallic sound unique to the snake's swallowing, were unlike any other kind of snake, and the sound was familiar——— only found in the exquisite black snake.

We have seen a black snake in the desert with a short body and a strange eye like a sarcoma on its head, which is extremely aggressive and extremely venomous, biting any part of a person, it will kill in just a few seconds. Hao Aiguo, a member of the archaeological team who went to Xinjiang, died under the fangs of this rare poisonous snake, and the cruel situation in the Zagrama Valley that day is still vivid in my mind, and I can't forget it.

At that time, we didn't know the name and type of this snake, and it wasn't until we were in the temple of Evil Luo Hai City that we knew that in the ancient demon country, there was once this kind of black snake called "Jingjian Ahan", which was the guardian of the ghost cave.

It would be reasonable to encounter a black snake in this white tunnel leading to the altar, but how could we have imagined in advance that there would be so many poisonous snakes in this tunnel where we need to close our eyes to get through Guò safely.

I remembered what happened in the desert, and I was slightly distracted, just like that, the poisonous snake seemed to have reached my feet, and people's breathing became heavier, and the nervousness can be imagined. Everyone remembered the warning on the stone gate, and they must not open their eyes, otherwise something very terrible would happen, which was the rule of the shaman of Evil Luo Hai City, and I am afraid it must be due to some unknown reason. Now we can only take the risk of believing in it, and we must not break this ancient taboo lightly until the last moment.

It occurred to me that if someone couldn't hold their breath and ripped off the tape on their eyes, Uncle Ming would definitely be the first. Although Ah Xiang was not very bold, but fortunately he was more obedient, so he held Shirley Yang and Ah Xiang's shoulders in front of him, touched Uncle Ming behind the fat man, and grabbed his arm with one hand.

Shirley Yang reminded us later: "If it is really a black snake with naked eyes on the top of its head, with their aggressiveness, they would have already pounced and bitten people, but listening to the sound, the snake group is not moving fast, there must be something wrong here, don't take off the tape on the eyes first." ”

I said to Shirley Young, "There is no snake in the world that doesn't bite people, maybe these guys have just eaten a snack and don't have an appetite for us for the time being......" Speaking of poisonous snake bites, I suddenly thought of some murals I saw in the exquisite ancient city, which depicted the cruel scene of poisonous snakes biting slaves. The slaves glared helplessly...... By the way, it seems that all the slaves who were bitten by snakes were staring at each other and not staring at each other, and dozens of murals were the same, is it just a coincidence? Or does the mural have a special meaning? Perhaps my memory is wrong, but the eyes of the slaves in the mural are not all staring...... Those scenes suddenly blurred in my mind, but I still had a vague feeling that maybe it was because we didn't open our eyes that the poisonous snakes around us didn't attack us. Maybe the sarcoma-like strange eyes on the top of the black snake's head will only find the target when he feels the bioelectricity in the eyes of the living, so he must not open his eyes in the white tunnel, this is the secret of the Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain?

This thought only flashed through my mind, but I was even more determined not to open my eyes. I clamped Uncle Ming's right arm, and stuffed his other arm to the fat man, and the fat man sandwiched him in the middle. Uncle Ming was shocked, thinking that the fat man and I were going to use him as a shield against poisonous snakes, so he hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" Don't ...... No kidding, no big or small, what are you going to do? ”

The fat man didn't miss any opportunity to find a bargain, even if it was just verbal cheapness, and replied casually: "I plan to marry your grandma when your grandfather and give birth to a son to be your father, yo...... A snake crawled up to my feet......" came the sound of the fat man kicking the snake away in the darkness. Uncle Ming in the middle suddenly sank, if it weren't for me and the fat man holding him, he would be frightened to death at this moment, I'm afraid he would have collapsed to the ground.

I also felt the snake wriggling at my feet, and this situation couldn't help but make people feel frightened from the bones. Entering this white tunnel is like facing an exam paper full of multiple-choice questions, which requires continuous correct judgments, sometimes there is no room for even thinking, and you can only get it all right, and any small choice error will be judged instantly between life and death, which is irretrievable. The immediate choice we have to make at this moment is——— under the siege of the snakes, whether to remove the tape from the eyes, can we risk breaking the thousand-year-old taboo? I couldn't hold it anymore and raised my hand, but I didn't remove the tape after all.

At this time, I could only hear Uncle Ming's voice trembling: "Snake, poisonous snake...... The poisonous snake crawled on my neck, help, Brother Hu. I was also in a trance, and my arm holding Uncle Ming was slightly loose, and I felt Uncle Ming suddenly pull out his right arm, probably trying to use his hand to remove the poisonous snake that climbed on his neck.

I didn't wait for Uncle Ming's arm to be completely withdrawn, and then grabbed his hand tightly: "It's okay, leave it alone, it's all a fucking illusion, not real." Poisonous snakes can't come out of thin air, now there are snakes in front and behind, we didn't feel a snake when we came all the way......" Before the words fell, there was a snap on my mountaineering helmet, and something fell from the top of my head, cold and slippery, and with a "sizzle" sound, it slid down the helmet to my back shoulder. That kind of cold fear immediately spread to the whole body, this could not be the illusion caused by the Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain, 200% it was a real poisonous snake.

I didn't care about holding Uncle Ming's arm anymore, and hurriedly used a mountaineering pickaxe to remove the poisonous snake on my back, and suddenly heard the fat man scolding: "Gangnon, isn't it, how dare you throw the snake at me, the skin and flesh on your body are strangled, and you are looking for practice, right?" Maybe Uncle Ming also took the opportunity to pull out his hand and shake off the poisonous snake on his body, but unexpectedly threw it on the fat man.

Shirley Yang and Ah Xiang kept pushing away the poisonous snake beside them. At first, we were advancing in a column against the tunnel wall, but later we changed to three in the front and two in the back, and two columns advanced in a horizontal formation.

I don't know who bumped into me, staggered a few steps to the side, stepped on a soft thing under my feet, I didn't need to look at it to know that it was a snake, I quickly shrank my feet and turned around, and only when I stood firm did I feel that I couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.

At this time, I heard the fat man shouting nearby: "I can't stand it, I'm blind enough, I'm going to open my eyes and see!" I quickly followed the sound, pressed his arm, and shouted, "Don't tear off the tape, if those snakes really mean to hurt people, I'm afraid we will be dead for a long time." If you don't look at them, they won't feel our existence and won't attack. ”

The rest of the people heard me and the fat man's shouts, and they all followed the sound and touched it, and everyone gathered again, Uncle Ming was shocked, panting and said: "Brother Hu is really worthy of being the top master in the Captain of Touching Jin, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is like a god." Everyone, don't open your eyes, from now on what you do, we will follow what you do. ”

Shirley Yang whispered to me: "This tunnel is full of dangers, and human self-control has its limits, our eyes have become a burden here, and one more minute of stay will be more dangerous, and we must go forward as much as possible." ”

If you want to move forward, you have to find the right direction, but now you have completely lost your sense of direction. The only way to do this is to find a wall to rely on. The sound of snakes swimming around me resounded in my ears, and it was conservatively estimated that there were no less than a few hundred. I pulled the group to the side, and when I encountered a snake on the ground, I kicked it lightly, and I felt the cold tunnel wall in the oblique stab.

As soon as I stood still, I heard a series of footsteps at the end of the tunnel, the distance was very far, I hurriedly reached out and touched the four people around, Shirley Yang, Ah Xiang, Uncle Ming, and the fat man were all there, who was behind us? Or is it coming?

The sound of footsteps from far to near, in the white tunnel, listening to the sound is even more thrilling, with the echo of the heavy pace faster and faster, denser and denser, each time makes people's hearts tremble. We couldn't run away at this time, we couldn't see, and there was nothing we could do for a while, and the five of us were close together. I held the paratrooper knife in my hand, and cold sweat was dripping.

The snakes in the tunnel were also alarmed by the footsteps, and they stumbled away for a while, but they were completely nowhere to be found. I was busy groping around the walls, and I felt that very close to the ground, there were some fist-sized caves, which seemed to be very deep, and when I put my hand on the hole, I could feel a faint cold wind, and these snakes had gotten into it, and we tried to dodge but couldn't get in.

I said to Shirley Young, "It's really a crystalline...... Is there a movement of zài in nature? It doesn't sound right to me. "Blindly believing in scientific principles is similar in essence to blindly believing in traditional superstitions, which will make people blindly follow and fall into a rigid mode of thinking. It's not that I don't believe what Shirley Young says, but when you put yourself in her shoes, it's a far cry from what she might have speculated.

As he spoke, the voice had already reached his side, and I could still hear the fat man gritting his teeth, and as you can imagine, everyone was extremely nervous. But the sound of the footsteps landing suddenly stopped, and because of the special terrain of the white tunnel, and because of the surprise, we didn't even hear where the thing landed. It was as if something was standing still in a nearby corner, staring at us, not knowing what it was trying to do. The sudden silence at this moment was far more terrifying than something rushing directly at it.

Our nerves were tense and on high alert, and for a while there was no movement, and when we listened, there was no sound except our heartbeat and breathing. Everyone relaxed a little, thinking that maybe Shirley Yang was right, don't be suspicious of dark ghosts, this sudden sound of footsteps like a downpour of rain at least scared off those poisonous snakes.

I groped around to count the number of people again, and Ah Xiang cried and asked me if I could take off the tape, and the tears were sealed inside, feeling so sad.

I categorically refused her request, and if I wanted to cry, I waited until I got out of the tunnel to cry again, so I studied with the fat man and Shirley Yang which way to go.

Although the white tunnel is not wide, it is not straight, and there is only a large area of the total number of people, and it is impossible to tell where there are turns. Although there may be no fork in the road here, and if you feel the wall on one side, you can at least return to the www.biquge.info Biqu Pavilion, but we don't want to go back.

The fat man said that according to the foolish opinion of Commander Ben, we have to think of a rut and go to a high place, because when we enter from the extinct volcano, the stone gate is open to the west, which is equivalent to going from the bottom of the second underground lake to the bottom of the first underground lake at a high level, and the altar must be directly below the ruins of the ancient city, and the higher the terrain is, the higher the terrain is, and the higher side is the west.

I thought about it, and suddenly I had a plan, so I said to the fat man, you know that you are foolish, so you don't need to say it. It's certainly right to go west, but don't forget, from the Longding Glacier to this white tunnel, there is one of the biggest characteristics of Evil Luo Hai City, these people worship the abyss, we are always going down, and the deeper we go, the closer we get to our goal, so I dare to vouch with my head, although this tunnel leads to the bottom of the first underground lake in the west, it is inclined downward, and it should go down.

Shirley Yang said: "The premise of going down is for sure, but we can't see it with our eyes, and even if the white tunnel extends downward, the slope is so small that it is difficult to detect by feeling, so how can we tell which side is higher and which side is low?" ”

I said that this is also easy to do, or the old way of "meeting the water and getting the middle way", said take out the kettle, slowly pour the water in it to the ground, feel which side the water flows, and know which side is low.

In a matter of moments, the problem of direction was solved, and the group regrouped, and groped their way in, as before. I can't get up here as fast as I want, I can only move forward step by step, the mysterious footsteps in the tunnel come and go, as if they are following us closely, I secretly curse in my heart, but there is nothing I can do about it. God knows what the hell it is, so I have to carry forward the spirit of optimism and think on the bright side, maybe it is the natural sound in the "sound stone" that is at work.

After another three or four hundred steps, we still haven't reached the end, but at least it shows that we are moving in the right direction, otherwise we will return to the exit after more than 100 steps. This white tunnel is very long, and after walking for a long time, I still can't get used to the environment. Being oppressed by the darkness for a long time is a test of anyone's psychological endurance, not to mention that there is a ghostly thing nearby.

As I walked, I suddenly thought of something urgent, and hurriedly said to Shirley Yang in front of me: "From the beginning of entering the tunnel, I have ignored a detail, there is a taboo in this tunnel on the stone gate, and you must close your eyes to enter, but Uncle Ming and I ...... Long before we came in together, we had already poked our heads through the stone gate to see the tunnel, and it must have crossed the boundary of the door, that is, in the beginning, it had already broken the rules here. It's definitely right, of course this is all led by Uncle Ming. ”

Shirley Yang was slightly stunned when he heard this, so what we thought was off the way, if there was really any evil spirit in the white tunnel, or other evil things, it would have been released a long time ago? Why haven't we been really attacked?

Shirley Yang's heart moved quickly, and as soon as he finished talking about the question in his heart, he had already given the answer himself: "We are...... Sacrifice. The fact that those black snakes did not come to attack may have something to do with our eyes closed, and more likely because we were all nailed with sacrificial markers. ”

I sighed, as a devil's sacrifice, what kind of feeling would it be to walk to the altar of the evil god on your own?

I was secretly complaining in my heart, but the fat man in front of me stopped, only to hear him ask, "Commander Hu, what altar is square or round?" I'm already at the end of the road, you come and touch it, these stones are very strange. ”

I went over and touched the fat man, and then I touched the stone wall in front of me, which was shaped like twisted flowers, and it was impossible to make out the terrain with two hands. I wanted to take off the tape and take a look, anyway, it was already a sacrifice, and I had already poked my head into see it, and I would have died at the mouth of the tunnel, but suddenly my mind moved, and I had the idea of Uncle Ming.

From what I know about Uncle Ming, he is a suspicious, somewhat strategic, and very deep businessman, of course, in a dangerous place, his lack of realm is exposed, and he seems very contrived, but he definitely knows what is at stake. If one of the five people can't bear the pressure to tear off the tape, it will definitely not be Uncle Ming, but the second one must be him.

I quietly took out the unused tape, secretly tore off a piece, gently pressed it to my head, and then explained in detail what I had just said to Shirley Young. Now it doesn't make sense to take off the tape or not, at least Uncle Ming and I have broken the taboo in the tunnel, anyway, this is the end of the road, I'll take the lead first, open my eyes to see if there is any danger, and as I said close to Uncle Ming, I tore off the tape on my head hard, and it hurt so much that I grinned, of course, this was deliberately so that Uncle Ming could hear it clearly.

Uncle Ming heard me tear off the tape, but there was no danger, so he followed suit, I heard him pull the tape and rub his eyes, and after a while, probably his eyes had recovered from the darkness, only to hear him say to me in surprise: "Is there a mistake, haven't you already taken off the tape?" Hu Bayi, Hu Bayi, you decrepit pit old kidnapping young, you can't even think of a fox spirit with this bad move. ”

I was secretly happy in my heart, and I also took off the tape, and my eyes were still a little hazy when I looked at the things around me for a while, but I heard Uncle Ming suddenly stop complaining about me, and instead exclaimed: "No, didn't Miss Yang say that the footsteps were made from the moving stone?" That and that...... So what's behind us? ”

I couldn't see clearly with my eyes, I only felt a faint white fluorescence around me, and I looked behind us with my eyes open, and a few meters away, I could vaguely see a dark shadow.
