Chapter Seventy-Three: Choosing the Left and Not the Right

Tofu was even more frightened and overwhelmed, as if I was a monster who had lost control and was about to go crazy, and with a strange scream, he immediately left me.

Presumably for the sake of my self-esteem, he asked tentatively, "Are you Chen Hang or a goblin?" ”

I was going to be, and said coldly: "Goblin." ”

When Tofu heard this, he knew that I was talking the opposite, patted his chest and leaned back, looked at the gloomy and dark space around him, and said, "You say...... Could that thing be hiding somewhere watching us right now? Lao Chen, or, let's go out, why don't I vote? ”

I couldn't help but slap him on the head and said, "You should be a playhouse?" Although their goal is to kill their people before, we have now been seen as a group, what are you going out to find death? ”

Tofu said, "So, what should I do?" We're just waiting here to die? What if, what if that goblin reappears? He said in his heart, I'm afraid that the thing hasn't left at all now, the peach wood beads given by my grandfather have been destroyed, and I don't know if the thing broke free, and Bacheng is thinking about how to retaliate against us at this time.

But I didn't say this, Tofu was already small enough, and after thinking about it, I felt that it was not a way to wait like this, so I decided to act according to the original plan first, and it was important to find the two of them. We have to see people alive and corpses when we die, and after determining their situation, we can also arrange what to do next. So Tofu and I flashlighted, and according to the original plan, went down to the hole covered with black quicksand, and used a pry to start destroying the wall.

The boulders were so rough that they didn't collapse so far, and they depended entirely on their own volume, so we took turns dividing the work and worked for more than two hours to finally destroy one of the boulders.

After the stone was completely cut out, I was surprised to find that the back of the stone wall was empty, and when I looked closely, it was a soil hole made by hand, and half of the space in the soil hole was covered with this quicksand-like substance, and the light hit it inside, and it was black.

I looked at it and saw that the quicksand behind the stone wall was not flowing, so I leaned halfway in and watched my surroundings with a flashlight. At this point, I also suddenly figured out the structure of this place. I estimate that the whole ghost is just like the tunnel war in the past, every house has an underground entrance, and in order to stabilize the structure, the tunnels between different areas will be staggered up and down, and each entrance will be connected together. I estimate that the tunnel we see now is the principle of figuring it out, thus forming the group of tunnels I see now.

Since this is the case, then these tunnels must eventually lead to the underground palace. I was overjoyed, looking at the black sand nest in front of me, and I was a little worried, and I didn't know what these black quicksand substances were.

Obviously, these things can't be made by the ghosts, otherwise they themselves can't move around at all, and the only possibility is that these substances must have been formed during the thousands of years of the ghosts' demise.

And this straight entrance is eighty percent the entrance of this family into the tunnel, and after Zhen Rui and Hari Chagai are swallowed by these things, there are only two possibilities. One is that the passage below has been blocked by these black substances, so that the two of them will definitely not survive. The second possibility is that the passage below is not blocked, but the two of them cannot return the same way, and at this time, they are already on the way to the underground palace.

Thinking of this, I felt excited, and at this time, Tofu asked me how I was, and I told him about the situation, and made a gesture to signal him to come down. Immediately afterward, the two of us climbed into the tunnel behind the stone wall. The black sand grains under him lie down, and it feels like lying in the desert, which makes people feel very relaxed. Tofu looked back and forth and asked me, "Where are you going?" ”

At this time, no one can know the specific location of the underground palace, where can I make a judgment, so I said: "Go left or not right, pick left." "In the rules of digging mushrooms in the inverted bucket, some seniors have left a lot of experience, such as in the underground palace, when you can't find a way and need to choose a random one, then choose left instead of right. Because the left side is respectful, the right side is humble, and from a superstitious point of view, the left side is auspicious, and the right side is the Huns.

Although we are not in the bucket now, since we have no choice, we simply follow the rules of the inverted bucket. So Tofu and I chose the left-hand side and climbed forward with flashlights. Tofu is probably worried that I will suddenly grow an extra face, crawl for a while, and look back at me from time to time. It stands to reason that people should be able to walk upright in this tunnel, otherwise it will be too slow to climb in it when fleeing, and besides, it is inevitable that they will bring something with them when fleeing, so the tunnel must be higher and wider. But now, most of them are blocked by these black sand grains, and Tofu and I can only walk on our knees inside.

Tofu was in front of me, looking past me, I could only see his buttocks, and after crawling, we saw some other entrances and exits one after another, which should be connected to other houses, but in order to prevent another stone statue from becoming a fine stone, we didn't dare to toss any more, as if we didn't see it, and concentrated on finding the entrance to the next layer of tunnels.

Because it was underground, the temperature in this place was originally a little low, but because Tofu and I had been engaged in physical labor, and we had been climbing for so long, it didn't take long for a layer of oil and sweat to appear on our bodies, and a lot of those black sand-like things stuck to our bodies.

I crawled for a long time, and I was wearing a gas mask on my face, and I felt very uncomfortable, so I took the mask off. But this time, I realized that this tunnel has been filled with a strange smell of you, some fishy, like the smell of snake gall I have smelled before.

I said to myself, "Is it possible that there is a serpent in this place?"

After all, after more than 2,000 years, the vicissitudes of the sea, the hard Gobi landform, the ground is prone to cracks, and it is not surprising that there are some snakes and scorpions that go down to the ground along these cracks. I couldn't help but secretly raise my mind, and told the tofu in front of me to be careful that there would be snakes and scorpions and other things.

Tofu shrugged his ass and climbed forward, as soon as he heard that there might be a snake in this place, he was a little scared, this kid was frightened by the snake king before, and when he saw the snake, he was worried, and immediately became nervous. At this moment, Tofu suddenly stopped, reached out and grabbed his back, and said, "It seems that something fell on my back, don't be a scorpion?" ”

I said why do you have so many things, while talking while stretching out my neck to see, this look, suddenly found that there is a centipede-like insect crawling on the back of the tofu, the insect is barehead and hooked tail, the tail shrugged and shrugged, with its movements, something like black sand, fell from under its buttocks, in an instant, I suddenly understood, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn, it turns out that we are crawling on centipede shit!" ”

"What? What doesn't? Tofu didn't understand, shook his body, and the thing that looked like a centipede was thrown into the 'sand grain' pile by him, and the centipede drilled into the sand and disappeared.

I said, "It's not that it doesn't, it's centipede!" ”

As he spoke, he told Tofu about the situation just now, and Tofu suddenly shook his whole body, and his face was disgusted, as if he had eaten a fly, and said, "You mean, these black sand are actually all the feces of that bug?" So, how many centipedes do you have to pull together to pull so much? Besides, centipede poop isn't like this, is it? ”

I also felt disgusted enough, and the thought of these things that stuck to me because of sweat, and even drilled into my crotch along the thin seams of my pants, was actually some insect, made me feel numb and itchy, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. I swallowed my nausea and said, "I said that the worm looked like a centipede, not that it was a centipede, which is the same as a whale like a fish but not a fish." ”

Tofu said: "Don't, you're dizzying me, then, then are we still crawling?" ”

I said, "What if you don't climb?" How can you leave Rui if you don't climb? Go on. ”

After thinking about it, I motioned for Tofu to stop first, and then grinded out a smokeless stove from his equipment bag. The stove is about half the size of a basketball and has a handle on it so you can move it around at any time. I broke a piece of solid fuel and lit it, then pulled out the sulphur flakes and threw them in, watching as the smokeless stove slowly smoked out of it.

Tofu was puzzled and asked me what kind of moth I was doing. I analyzed, "Look, what does it mean that there is so much? It shows that the number of that kind of bug just now is very large, and it may have been breeding in this place for hundreds or thousands of years. Maybe they're sleeping in the cracks in the ground, or they're burrowing under the, and they're ignoring us for the time being, but if they do, what's the scene? This sulfur tablet can repel insects after volatilization, I hope it is useful, and it can be regarded as an insurance for us. ”

Tofu immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard this, and said, "It's still thoughtful, hurry up and throw a little more, it's best if they smell it, and hide quickly." As we spoke, we packed up, put on our gas masks again, and continued to crawl forward with the smoking smoker, and soon found a passage downward.

This passage is vertical, with stairs on the earthen wall, and when you look down from this position, you can see that the next level of passage is also filled with insect droppings. Fortunately, we have gas masks, and these feces are relatively dry, if it is the kind of sparse insect feces, I guess Tofu would rather die than crawl forward.

The staircase was also stuffed with insect feces, and there was no way to settle down, so Tofu and I used the easiest way to jump straight down, just as easily as jumping onto the desert.

Under the tunnel, there is also one on the left and one on the left, and I estimate that if the two of them are still alive, they should be in this layer. Tofu said, "How to go?" Or do you choose the left and not the right? I was just about to nod my head when suddenly a dim light lit up in the passage on our right.
