I'm not sure if Yoshiko is telling the truth, but through my observation of this Japanese woman, she is really just an ordinary person, and even if she has some scheming, it is not too deep. As for the mute, on the one hand, he is looking for the Chenci, looking for the structural diagram of the tomb of the giant ear king, and on the other hand, he does not admit that he has anything to do with our Chen family.

Now that was the end of our conversation, the three of them returned to the group, and the rest of them had already come up with a plan, and decided to send a man, tethered with a rope to prevent him from getting lost, to climb to the ice cave above to find out the identity of the man in the ice.

The rest of the people were more or less slippery, knowing that if the man in the ice was really dumb, then there was probably something else in the ice cave, and although the plan was discussed, no one volunteered. Actually, I can't understand why the dumb man brings so many people, in fact, many of us can be undone. This point is similar to Old Man Zhao's transportation of a large number of messengers into the mountain. What kind of calculation are these dumb people and Old Man Zhao doing?

Seeing that no one came forward, Lu Su smiled and said to me, "Brother Chen, I'll go up and take a look, and you can answer it below." "I thought of the blue-faced and white-eyed ghost, and said in my heart that there was Lu Su's murderous knife, and that thing was estimated to dare not approach, he was going to leave, and I didn't know what would happen, and Ji Zi was soft and weak, and he fell when the wind blew, the tofu was unreliable, he was impulsive, the old smoking gun and the black loach were relatively slippery, and Feng Ghost was slightly more reliable, which was really not safe, so I asked Lu Su to stay, and I entered the ice cave with my weapon.

Based on the inclination of the entrance of the ice cave, we can roughly judge the trend of the ice cave, leaning towards the entrance of the people in the ice, there are about a dozen, but these ten or so holes, to the depths, are likely to be connected, so the most important thing is to recognize the direction. I took my weapon, put on my headlamp, put a compass in my breast pocket, and climbed into an ice cave by a ladder.

For the sake of insurance, a rope was tied to his waist, and the other end of the rope was left in the hands of Lu Su and the others, so that even if he couldn't touch the location of the person in the ice, at least he wouldn't get lost. As soon as you enter the ice cave, the dim light imprints the surrounding qiē in amber. The ice is transparent, and when you look down, you can still vaguely see the figures of Tofu and others. It's just that the further you climb in, the more you climb the ice cave, the ice at the bottom thickens, and you can't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, some connected ice caves appeared in front of me, forming a dense spider web-like fork, so I had a compass and kept climbing forward. The rope tied to my body is more than 40 meters long, and if you count the distance in a straight line, it is almost the same as the position of the man in the ice, but the ice cave is twisting and turning, and the forks are crossed, and from time to time you will climb to a dead end, turning around, and the rope is really not enough. After climbing forty meters, the man in the ice could not even see a shadow, but the rope around his waist was already tight, so I had no choice but to untie the rope and continue to move forward.

Fortunately, there was an agreement in advance that if something happened, I would fire a warning shot. This place is full of ice, so you don't have to worry about avalanches, and you can use guns with confidence and boldness. Until then, the rope can be used as a signpost for the time being.

The next step on the road without ropes, before I climbed a section, I would cut a mark in the ice wall, so that I would stop and walk and waste time. After about half an hour, the hole in front of me suddenly began to widen, so that I slowly changed from crawling posture at the beginning to kneeling, and recently I was already a man tall and could walk directly in it. At the same time, there was a stench in the ice cave, which was originally smelly, like animal droppings.

I was vigilant in my heart, knowing that everyone's speculation had come true, and I didn't expect that there were still living creatures in this layer of ice.

As the distance closed, the smell became stronger, and at this moment, at the end of my line of sight, a pair of hands suddenly appeared.

The hands were distinct and pale, sticking out of the ice, but the rest of the place was hidden under the ice. I immediately realized that the Man in the Ice was here. As he walked briskly, at the same time, the man in the ice seemed to hear my footsteps and reached out in response, as if hoping that I would pull him out.

Needless to say, there is no doubt that he is dumb.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time I was worried that something would suddenly come out, so I kept the gun in my right hand, and when I walked next to my hands, I looked down. Immediately I saw a head of black hair, and at the same time, the people in the ice cave also looked up and said, "Help." As soon as I saw his face, I immediately gasped, where is the dumb man, it is clearly a big zongzi!

Then I reacted, Zongzi can't speak, this person whose face is half rotten and whose flesh is frozen to blue and white should be a messenger1

I was shocked, and then I also understood that the stench I smelled just now was not the smell of feces, but from the messenger's body, but the temperature here was relatively low, so the smell of corpses was not too strong, so people did not notice it for a while.

If you look closely, he has fallen into a vertical ice cave, and there is no such thing as ice, so it stands to reason that he should be able to climb out on his own, but his current situation seems to be unable to move. What's going on?

I know that messengers and zongzi are different, they have language and thinking, and it's not the first time I've seen them, except for the moment of fright just now, I don't have any other feelings at this time, so I asked it: "Are you Zhao Erye's person?" ”

Half of his face was rotten, and he had only one eyeball, and he didn't answer my question, but in a voice of extreme pain, scratching with both hands, and said, "Help me, help me." ”

I look at his appearance, it seems that there is no danger, not to mention that the messenger has to find people close to him to 'continue his life', such as parents, wives and children, etc., this is really a very perverted thing, because if you want to 'live', you have to kill your closest people. I have nothing to do with the messenger in front of me, so it's useless for him to kill me, and I don't think anything crooked. So I said, "I'll get you out, but you cooperate obediently, don't trouble me afterwards." ”

It nodded. Just as my hand was close to it, about to pull it in, its rotten face suddenly turned hideous, and it said to me, "Hide, it's back, quick!" I was so frightened by his frightened face that it was almost hideous, and without saying a word I turned around and ran, ran around the corner and hid, turned off the lights, and held a dagger in one hand and a gun in the other.

What is it?

I don't know, but even the messenger will be tricked and feared, and I must be more careful. Thinking of this, I crouched down and listened intently to the movement ahead. As soon as the lights were turned off, the surrounding darkness could not be seen. All I heard was a gurgling sound, which I didn't react at first, but then I realized that it was the grinding of the messenger's teeth chattering in fear.

My heart couldn't help but flutter and beat wildly, what was it that made the messenger so terrified?

At this moment, I suddenly felt a little grateful to the messenger, because it at least reminded me to hide, or I would have to face the same thing as it. At this moment, accompanied by the gurgling sound of the messenger, from a distance, there was a crackling sound, which was approaching the direction of the messenger. The sound was like the bouncing sound of a fish struggling on a board, and it thought of a big-footed man, and the clatter of the soles of his feet when he walked barefoot.

The sound came quickly, and in almost a few seconds, I was at the messenger's side, and I could almost smell a fishy smell on the tip of my nose.

What exactly is it? Before I could hear any more, a terrible scream suddenly sounded in the ice cave. The voice came so suddenly that I took a step back. This step made a big mistake in an instant, and the headlamp on my head, because of the crawling along the way, suddenly fell to the ground.

I'm sure it must have been the damn curse at work, because the headlamp fell to the ground, and not only did it make a click, but the light came on instantly.

My mouth and tongue were dry, and my muscles were tight. And by this time, I had seen the thing that terrified the Messenger so much. It was really a man, a man with big feet and a slick body, but the man's skin was crimson with a lot of dark green patterns on it, like charms, and as for the face, it was swollen like a bubbly corpse.

At this moment, it grabbed a piece of rotten meat in its hand, and was about to send it to its mouth, when it turned its eyes, the messenger was lifted out, and the flesh on the other half of its face was gone......

I almost wanted to throw up, but reason told me that vomiting was the stupidest thing to do, because at this moment, the thing stopped eating, and a pair of bulging dead fish eyes stared straight at me. Almost instantly, I opened fire, shooting at it without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "The fierce gunshots, the completely uneconomical way of playing, the violent gunshots, and the infinite expansion of the structure of the ice cave, shocked me to my ears. I believe that Lu Su and they must have heard the movement here. Not to mention the sound of gunshots, the messenger's terrible scream just now was enough for them to hear.

But my heavy shooting didn't work, because its skin, like a rubber, was bounced off all the bullets that hit it.

My scalp was fried, and I felt like my legs were soft and turned into noodles.
