Chapter 139: The Tan Family's Buddies
"Say! Who the hell are you! Lantern Xiao asked sharply.
Due to the severe pain in his wrist, the guy couldn't support it anymore, and said breathlessly: "I, I am, yes, someone from the Tan family!" ”
"The Tan family?" As soon as this man said this, we were all very surprised. We didn't expect that there would be people from the Tan family involved. Among the four major families of the inverted doudou, only the Tan family is the most low-key, and rarely interacts with other families. As far as I know, the Tan family participated in such things as the pot bucket in a relatively high-profile manner, and only the four major families from twenty years ago went to the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom together. It was in that incident that the big boss of the Tan family died unexpectedly, which made the Tan family decline day by day, although the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, but it was rare to hear the news of the Tan family in the circle over the years. Unexpectedly, I met a guy from the Tan family here today.
We were all a little stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.
Lantern Xiao asked strangely, "Tan family? What are your Tan family here for? ”
The man shook his head and didn't speak, we were just about to continue asking, when suddenly, a loud voice came from the depths of the darkness, and this huge roar startled us.
I looked in disbelief at the direction of the sound, what made such a loud noise in this place that had been sleeping for thousands of years, and the strangest thing was that it sounded like thunder.
My second uncle and Lantern Xiao were all surprised, and the guys on the ground shrank on the ground and didn't dare to come out. I looked at Wen Mo, and he was calm. But I wasn't surprised by his expression, I was used to it, and I really didn't know what could make his indifferent expression discolored.
Tian Laosi's reaction was more intense, his face changed drastically, he jumped up all of a sudden, and shouted, "It's not good, there may be an accident over there!" As he spoke, he looked at Wen Mo.
Wen Mo also frowned slightly, "It seems that it wasn't trapped just now!" ”
"Let's go!" Tian Laosi took the lead and ran in the direction where the sound came from.
Lantern Xiao looked at Tian Laosi's distant back and asked Xiang Wenmo, "Boss, what's the situation?" ”
Wen Mo also turned his head to look into the depths of the darkness, "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”
Lantern Xiao pointed to Tan who was still sitting on the ground, "What about him!" ”
The second uncle nodded, walked up to the man, bowed his head and said, "Seeing that you are from the Tan family, I will let you go this time." As he spoke, he pointed to the other guy who had just been knocked unconscious, "Take him with you!" I hope you can be more clear, if you encounter it next time, you should know what to do. ”
The man nodded again and again, "Okay, understand!" As he spoke, he picked up the unconscious man on the ground, just like Tang Jian'an, and chased him in the direction they left.
We didn't care where they were going, so we turned around and followed the direction where Tian Laosi was running.
I think if I'm not wrong about the bearing, we're running towards the center of this huge underground cavern. On the way, it was obvious to me that there were many stone paths leading to the center, which were called stone paths, but they were not the kind we are talking about today. However, it can still be seen that these roads have been carefully repaired.
At the same time, I also noticed that the stone pavements were scattered, and their centers of gravity seemed to converge in one direction. And that's where we're headed.
After running for a while, we still haven't reached the central store. I realized that this underground cavity was simply staggeringly large. It's clear from the layout that whoever comes from there will eventually go down the wooden steps and the stone path at your feet to get to the center of the place, so what is there there?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace. Gradually, I saw a tall building appear in front of me. And it looks like a Hakka tulou, a tall round building, and it gives people a thick and sturdy feeling.
With the shaking flashlight, I saw Tian Laosi at the front running straight to the circular building, I couldn't help but move in my heart, Tian Laosi was so flustered, could it be that Yuan An was inside?
Outside the rotunda, there was another circle of spiraling stone steps, and Tian Laosi ran up first.
Looking at this huge circular building, in addition to reminding me of Hakka tulou, at this moment, I have another eerie and violent feeling, I can't help but think of the Colosseum. Actually, there is another reason that frightens me, that is, the sentence that Wenmo said just now, "It seems that it was not trapped just now!" ”
Who is it trying to trap? Or rather, what to trap!
We followed closely behind Tian Laosi, along the stone steps above the circular building, all the way up. The strange structure was bigger than it looked, and we ran down the stairs to the top for a while.
When I climbed to the top, I realized that the place where we were standing was a platform that was not very large, and it was stretching out on both sides. The whole place presents a barrel-shaped structure, deep in the middle, surrounded by a wall stacked with large stone blocks.
Tian Laosi glanced down and muttered, "Sure enough, it's gone!" Ann Ye and they are gone, I hope they are okay, but where have they gone? ”
We raised the flashlight and shone it down, and I was surprised to see that the bottom seemed to have been smashed by the rammer at great randomness, and it was full of large and small, deep and shallow pits. I had a bad feeling in my heart, and I seemed to smell something strange in it. A possibility occurred to my mind, this place seemed to be used for holding something, and it was built so much that this thing was not trivial.
Tian Laosi walked to the edge of the platform, lowered his head and pulled up something, I took a closer look, it turned out to be an iron chain. Tian Laosi swept the flashlight around, and I noticed that there were many such chains hanging from the inside of the surrounding stone walls.
In the front of some of the chains there was something else that I couldn't see clearly because of the distance. Curious, I grabbed a piece of iron chain and pulled it up, only to find that there was a piece of climbing rope tied to it in the front of it. Obviously, this section of the climbing rope was deliberately connected by someone, and the climbing rope is very new, it should have just been connected, and it is very likely that it is Yuan An and them.
When I look at the situation here, it is easy to imagine that the meaning of attaching the climbing rope is to connect the chains. But why is that? Although I can ask Tian Laosi or Wenmo directly about this matter, I have developed a habit after experiencing these few incidents, that is, when encountering anything, it is best to have my own judgment first, otherwise it is easy to be led by the nose.
It's not that I don't believe in Wenmo, it's just that our level of ability is different, and our cognition is different, which is like the classic story of a pony crossing the river.
Wen Mo thinks that simple things, I can deal with it very difficult, he thinks that a little difficult things, I may not be able to deal with them, he thinks there are challenging things, it is estimated that I will be killed in seconds.
I tried to imagine if I could use a rope to connect the chains, and suddenly I realized what it was. If they were connected, it would be a huge, solid cage. Then the question is, what is such a huge cage used to hold?!
Since the ropes are tied, why are they not connected, I have been pulling all the ropes up, but I was horrified to find that one end of the rope was actually pulled alive. I sounded the words that Wen Mo said again, presumably, at the beginning, Yuan An wanted to trap something here, but they didn't succeed, and they were broken free by that thing and escaped.
It's unbelievable! You must know that this kind of climbing rope is extremely strong. Its tensile strength is definitely more than 1,800 kilograms. As far as I could see, there were at least seven or eight ropes around here. I believe that they can't be pulled off one by one, obviously they were pulled off at the same time, so to be able to pull seven or eight climbing ropes together, it takes at least 13,000 kilograms of pulling force, in this case elephants can't do it, unless they drive a heavy truck, could it be that they caught a dinosaur at that time?!
I shook the rope in my hand at Tian Laosi, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Tian Laosi's mood at this time was a little anxious, he kept shaking the flashlight to shine around, and when he heard my question, he said: "After defeating Tang Jian'an's two subordinates just now, I was waiting for this and An Ye's people to come over, but I didn't see their traces for a long time, so I went back to look for them. I heard some strange sounds halfway, but I couldn't find the right direction, fortunately I met Wenmo, I followed the sound under his guidance, and then I found that An Ye They were attacked by a strange monster, this thing moves very strangely, but the speed is very fast, especially its appearance, I don't know how to describe it. ”
Looking at Tian Laosi's language description ability, it is indeed very limited, and we are simply choked by him. So I had to turn my head to look at Wenmo, "Wenmo, what's going on?" What the hell is that monster? ”
Wen Mo looked at us and sighed, "I didn't expect to see Kui here!" ”
"Woo?!" Several of us, including the second uncle, were all taken aback, and Lantern Xiao jumped over in one step, "Boss, what do you say that thing is?" ”
Wen Mo nodded, "Kui, it looks like a cow, with a pale body and no horns, only one foot." Can make a thunderous sound. ”
The second uncle nodded, "Wenmo shouldn't admit his mistake, it seems that the last Kui in the legend is here!" ”
