Chapter 124: A Strange Row of Stone Caves
When the bright moon hung high on the branches, everyone finally found a relatively flat place in the magic forest full of stones, and there was a stone wall covering the rain above.
The karst rock peaks in the dark night, like King Kong giants, are quiet and solid and mighty, forming a clear contrast with the gentle moonlight, but they are perfectly integrated with each other, as if they appreciate each other very much, and have become bosom friends who talk about everything.
Restful nights, perfect for a restful night's sleep. The forest is not as humid as the forest, there are not too many mosquitoes, and it is not woken up early by the sound of crazy birds. However, the grass in the woods is very soft, but the magic forest is full of hard stones, and when I wake up in the morning, I feel that my spine has straightened.
The silence of the night is too beautiful, but it makes people sleep unsteadily, there are no birds and insects, it doesn't seem like they are in the wild, and it seems a little weird if it is too quiet. As if greeted by a strange atmosphere, strange things happened right away.
The monkey and the fat man, who went together to make a convenient trip, found a very strange place behind a huge karst rock.
At the foot of a rock peak that is not too high, there are several black holes in a row, from a distance, it looks like a row of caves under the rock wall, and when you get closer, you can find that the black cave entrance is more than half a person high, and you can only enter it by bending down. Strangely, the seven or eight openings, from the outside, were all exactly the same regardless of height and width, and were obviously excavated by man. However, the hard karst rock is not a mine, and since there are no minerals to be mined, why bother to dig holes in such a hard rock wall?
Light the torch. Drilling into the middle of a row of low stone caves, I found that the depth of the stone cave was more than two zhang long. The top of the rock wall is very smooth, as if it has been polished. At the end of the day. Suddenly stopped, the person behind me couldn't help but bump into me, and someone asked aloud, "What's wrong?" ”
When everyone poked their heads out of my back curiously, they couldn't help but gasp, and saw that at the end of the cave, there was a dried skeleton leaning on the innermost stone wall. Skeletons weren't something to make a fuss about, but the posture of this withered skeleton sitting on the ground was quite odd. The legs are propped up and spread widely. The hands clung to the ground, causing several fingers to break upwards and, as if they had suffered and struggled in the past, and the posture was very similar to that of a woman when she gave birth. However, the sex of this corpse is male.
Moreover, everyone was also shocked to find that on the innermost smooth stone wall, many vertical lines were carved crookedly, and five were in groups. Apparently used to record the number of days. The rows of countless vertical lines were very neat at first, but when they got to the back, they began to become disorganized. Obviously, the situation at that time was already very irritable and even angry. And at the end, it seems to be a few vertical lines drawn at random, which is very weak and shallow. If you don't look closely, it's almost invisible.
Suddenly. Zha Ling'er shouted to everyone to go to the entrance of the cave, and seemed to find something on the rock wall.
Walk to the entrance of the cave. At the bottom of the rock wall, there are several rows of small characters, all of which are composed of four short words "let me out", but each word is carved very deeply, as if to chisel through the stone wall, which should be the last words left by the dried corpse in the depths of the cave.
However, the caves here are all wide open and unobstructed, so why is there such a sentence left on the stone wall? Could it be that something sealed the entrance to the cave in the first place, making it impossible for the people inside to get out?
If so, who is the one who cruelly trapped him in a pitch-black hole that can't stand up straight?
There were too many questions pouring out of everyone's minds, and at first everyone thought that someone might have deliberately murdered people for money, tricked people into the cave, and then sealed the entrance of the cave with stones and other things, so that they could be trapped here. But everyone soon discovered that in the other low stone caves, there was an extremely hideous dry bone, which was obviously deliberately done by someone to trap some people here, not an ordinary attempt to kill someone.
Zha Qiye's face was not very good-looking, and asked him if he was not feeling well, and he replied that it was okay, but his expression was slightly anxious urging us to leave here as much as possible, and the uneasy expression was very obvious. Soon, this uneasiness became an unfortunate fact, and everyone found that the dense stone forest, no matter how many intersections they crossed, would eventually come to the front of this row of dark and neat stone caves again.
Suddenly, I remembered the four-character last words on the rock wall in the stone cave, it turned out that it was not the stone cave that trapped them, but the stone forest near the stone cave that could not be walked out.
This stone forest like a ghost hitting a wall was originally ordinary, but now in the hazy moonlight, it looks like a deep ghostly aura, a gusty wind, and a dark hole, like a few beasts that are opening their mouths wide, waiting for innocent humans to walk in and fill their stomachs, they have been hungry for several years, and they will definitely not miss the food delivered to their doors this time.
Seventh Master Zha might have seen something wrong before, so he urged everyone to leave as much as possible, and asked him if there were any doorways in these artificially dug low stone caves under the rock wall?
Zha Qiye said that he couldn't say it, but he felt that there was something dark and weird here, giving people a wonderful feeling of disobedience, it was weird, but he couldn't say what was wrong? It's not like a fantasy, it's not like a maze.
This is strange, if it is a normal stone forest, there will definitely be no such strange situation similar to a ghost hitting a wall, everyone is trapped here, there must be something wrong.
The group returned to the low cavern and searched carefully for some clues. But in the cave, there was nothing but the corpses that turned into white bones, not even the clothes on the dry bones, which did not survive at all, and carefully groped for the white bones, but could not find even a small piece of broken clothing. In addition, there are some incomprehensible words carved on the stone wall, which seem to be the crazy words written by people trapped here when they are forced into a desperate situation. It is conceivable that you can see the sunset and the moon rise every day, feel the wind and rain, but you can't leave here, under the double torture of hunger and cold, your body and mind are a little cruel to leave, and it's no wonder if you don't go crazy.
Everyone was trapped here just now, and they all began to become restless, and hurriedly appeased everyone's feelings first, and then immediately began to discuss what was going on when they were trapped here and couldn't get out. (To be continued......)
