The mountains here are all stone mountains, and the walls of the cave are very hard, not to mention the ancients, even the people of the age will never dig a really big cave here. Sure enough, under the irradiation of the tactical flashlight, I found that almost all of them were naturally formed, except for some traces of artificial chiseling near the hanging coffin. The ground inside is pitted and uneven.

"Bang bang bang ......" There was another burst of intensive gunfire!

We were already in the cave, and this time we heard no longer muffled sounds, but the sound in the cave echoed repeatedly, and for a moment it was impossible to discern the direction of the gunshots.

I was worried about the safety of the fourth master, so I hurriedly ran up with the scholar and Zhao Ming, and mixed up several people along the way, and several people hung up colors, but fortunately they were all skin injuries. My left arm hurt tightly, and I don't know if it was a contusion or a cut, but the blood was coming out anyway. I wiped it with my clothes, I didn't care too much, I wanted to find the fourth master and them first.

The intuitive feeling of this cave is that the road is narrow and bent, and it will turn to the left and to the right, which makes everyone dizzy. Suddenly, the scholar grabbed me. I thought to myself, what are you dragging me at this time, what time is this, and you still want to rest?

The scholar said: "Something is wrong, Mr. Xia, take a look, are we fucking going around the same way?" ”

"Huh? Plate man, what do you say? "It's dark here, how do scholars know to go around in circles?

"I was too tired, dizzy, and hungry just now, so I took out a piece of chocolate from my pocket and threw the wrapper on the ground after eating. Now look ......" the scholar pointed ahead, and a piece of chocolate wrapper lay on the ground, as if mocking the dazed people.

"Could it be that you encountered a ghost hitting the wall like before?" The scholar asked me,

"Ghost hitting the wall is actually through small differences to meet people's judgment visually, requiring the surrounding environment to be similar, but also to have deliberately set small marks. It's dark here, and it's not in a good position at all. It should have been too many forks in the road, and we stumbled into each other by mistake, so we ran back again. I thought for a moment and then said: "When I was in college, a group of us college classmates always loved to play maze games, and we went to many maze tourist fields, and at the beginning we were always blind, and then I met the owner of a playground, and he told me a one-size-fits-all way out of the maze. ”

"What's the solution?" Zhao Ming asked in unison.

"Right hand rule!" I said, "In the maze, if you walk left and right, you will definitely be trapped inside, and you have to explore in an orderly way so that you can get out." There are many ways to do this, and the right-hand rule is one of the ways to get out. Magnification is to start from the starting point, keep walking along the right-hand wall, and choose the right road when encountering a fork, if you go to a dead end and turn and still follow the right-hand wall, if you go this way, you will have the worst luck and walk all the roads again and you can come out. ”

"Well, although this method is a bit stupid, it is also the most direct and simple way. However, the maze is a game after all, and we are likely to have a lot of traps here, and one of us will accidentally catch the road. "Zhao Ming is also an old Jianghu, and he thinks about it more carefully.

"Now there is no other good way, we can only take one step at a time, let's be more careful, lined up, one meter apart, I take the lead." I don't think I can be afraid of wolves and tigers now, so I can only rush.

"This won't work! Miss Linglong ordered, after coming down, the four of us brothers will be responsible for protecting you and Han Ye. Besides, this is also from the hanging coffin, it should also be a grave pit, several of us have been on the battlefield for a long time, and I said politely, Xia Ye, a few of us are better than you. It's still me and Wang Yong to take the lead, you and Han Ye are in the middle, Sun Fei and Lao Zhang, you two are behind. "Zhao Ming is usually not good at words, but when it comes to a critical time, he arranges it to be the first thing.

I want to say something more, Zhao Ming can't say anything, he and Wang Yong took the lead, and they have already walked towards a fork in the road on the far right, turned back to Sun Fei and Zhang Shijun and said: "Very Xia Ye and Han Ye, protect it!" ”

The six of them walked in a row, and they walked cautiously all the way, and Zhao Ming deliberately walked a little ahead, completely in a state of going to the thunder. I was inexplicably moved in my heart, and I also had a deeper understanding of the Cao family. What kind of power group is this that can make its subordinates so loyal.

The scholar said: "How do you feel that the Sprinkle family always follows you to drill caves, Yunmeng Mountain also has it, there are also here, people thousands of years ago, how did they know about caves, and they hid a treasure in the cave and made a tomb at every turn." ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? In ancient times, there was no modern productivity, and instead of using hundreds of thousands of people to spend decades digging a tomb, it was better to send some people to find a naturally formed cave to open it. "I think the ancients were very clever in this and were good at using the resources they had.

Although the right-hand rule can effectively solve the problem of getting lost and going around in circles, if you are unlucky, you will have to take many detours. We weren't too lucky, and although we didn't encounter traps, we kept hitting a dead end and had to turn back and forth.

Walking and walking became numb, and I only cared about walking. Suddenly, Zhao Ming, who was hitting the head, stopped, we were inattentive, and we bumped into it all of a sudden, but fortunately Zhao Ming was relatively strong and was not knocked out. According to the scholar's previous personality, he must shout, and now that he has experienced several expeditions under the pit, he is also experienced, and like us, he has not made a sound. Zhao Ming stopped suddenly, he must have made a discovery. We all immediately turned off our flashlights and crept over.

Zhao Ming whispered, "There is movement ahead. ”

Sure enough, there was a shuddering movement ahead. The lights were all out, and the cave was dark. It's so quiet that you can hear your own heartbeat. We all paid attention to the source and movement of the sound, and the sound got closer and closer, and suddenly the movement became louder, as if something was approaching. Suddenly there was some bright light around the corner, swaying up and down, and we were even more surprised. Zhao Ming and the others all turned on the safety of the guns, pasted them on the walls on both sides, and stared at the corners vigilantly. Sure enough, a figure turned, the light was shining directly on our side, and we all raised our guns.

"Who?!" Against the light, he vaguely saw that the other party was also holding a gun, and suddenly said, "Zhao Ming?!" ”

"Brother Shun? It's Brother Shun! Zhao Ming and the others put away their guns and hugged them.

"Brother Shun, why are you here?"

"Ah Shun, how many of them are there, Fourth Master? What's going on."

"You fired the gunshot?"

Several people surrounded Ah Shun and asked questions, eager to kill what happened.

"Don't worry, listen to me. This place is not safe, Zhao Ming, Wang Yong, you two are on guard before and after holding guns, don't talk to the others, listen to me. Ah Shun took the kettle handed over by Zhang Shijun, took a sip, and then said: "Fourth Master, Xu Ye, Sanda and I, the four of us came down and found the ghost coffin. Xu Ye was very excited and had been studying and taking pictures. The fourth master and I wanted to know who was buried in the ghost coffin, so we pried open the coffin. Suddenly, a pair of large white hands reached out from inside, grabbed Sanda and dragged him in. What happened in an instant, and several of us were caught off guard. I didn't see anything clearly, I just felt that the white shadow flashed, and Sanda disappeared. Later, I found out that the hole when you came in, the three of us came in to save Sanda, but I didn't expect that there were other people in this hole, and the other party also had guns, and they had been exchanging fire just now. ”

"What about the fourth master and Lao Xu? Was Sanda captured by the group on the other side? The scholar asked.

I suddenly realized that there was an unreasonable place in Ah Shun's description, and I also asked: "Ah Shun, we heard the gunshot, except for leaving Ali on the top of the cliff to protect Linglong and Luo Blind, the six of us came down to check the situation, but the walkie-talkie had no signal, and no trace of you was found outside, but the lid of the hanging coffin was closed at that time." According to you, Sanda was taken captive and you went straight into the cave, and who covered the lid of the hanging coffin? ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? No, when we came in, we pushed the lid of the coffin open and stood on the cliff face. Ah Shun paused, and then said: "During the firefight, out of nowhere, a lot of fist-sized ants crawled out of the cave, densely packed. The person on the opposite side was crawling with ants in an instant, and after a few screams, it turned into a pool of blood and white bones. There are too many man-eating ants, on the walls, on the ground, everywhere. A few of us were quickly separated by the ant colony5. At that time, the situation was critical, so we had to go separately. I ran and searched all the way, but I didn't find them, but I ran into you. ”

I didn't expect them to encounter so many situations, I sorted it out in my heart, and there are currently three situations that need to be confirmed, one is the status of the personnel, including the life and death of Sanda, the whereabouts of the fourth master and Lao Xu; The second is the identity of the other side of the crossfire, who is that group of people? How many people are there? How did you get here? What is the purpose? These circumstances need to be confirmed; The third is how the lid of the hanging coffin is closed, and what is the secret of this ghost coffin, which needs to be investigated. At present, the most important thing is to quickly find the fourth master and Lao Xu, and then rescue Sanda.

Ah Shun also thinks that the right hand method we use is a good way, and now there are seven people, while carefully observing the ground, keeping an eye on those man-eating ants, and looking for the fourth master along the wall on the right.

This time it was Ah Shun who was walking forward, when suddenly Ah Shun shouted: "Hurry up, man-eating ants!" ”

I also turned on the flashlight, and I saw groups of black and red, fist-sized ants on the ground, crawling at a fast speed. The number is very staggering, and some ants crawl faster, rushing forward directly on the ants in front, and after running to the front, there are faster ants climbing on top of them, layer upon layer, rolling like waves. My scalp is numb when I see it.

The ant colony rushed towards us, and we had to change from the back row to the front row and flee backwards. Running to the nearest fork in the road, Ah Shun hit his head again and walked towards the left fork in the road. We can only choose the way forward, otherwise we may be farther away from the fourth master and Lao Xu.

Fortunately, I haven't encountered man-eating ants after walking this road for a long time. It seems that these things are not found all over the cave, and it is likely that there are local nests of theirs.

While he was on the move, Ah Shun suddenly made a stop movement and pointed forward. I looked at a figure sitting on the ground in front of me, with my back to the stone wall.
