In order to prevent that there are also mechanisms similar to rotating passages in this passage, under Xiao Na's arrangement, the team set up a long snake formation. In a group of two people, each group leaves a distance of three or four meters, so that the total length of the team is tens of meters, and even if it encounters the rotation of the passage, it can be detected in time.

In the entire pitch-black passage, in addition to the bright flashlight, it was the green aiming light emitted by the guns in the hands of Xiao Na's teammates. Everyone in the team was very careful, and in order to avoid accidentally hitting the traps in the passage, all of them were very careful and slow.

After walking a distance of more than 200 meters, Chen Ziyang paused the team, and at the same time called Xiao Na behind him over, and said to her: "We seem to have made the right bet, so far this passage has not rotated, and no other mechanism has been found." According to the previous situation, even if the passage can be rotated, the rotation distance will not be very long, and now that we have walked so far, it should be said that this passage is safe. ”

Xiao Na also agrees with Chen Ziyang's view. So I changed the strategy of the team, so that the team sped up a little, after all, it was already night, and everyone had been in a state of high mental tension during the day, busy marking various passages, and at the same time there was no good rest, now it was important to let the tired team hurry to the front and find a place to camp for a night.

Although the speed of the team's progress accelerated, the two team members at the front of the team did not relax their vigilance, just when the team continued to move forward for dozens of meters, the two people quickly squatted down, and at the same time quieted the people behind them, and then both of them leaned against the wall of a passage, listening carefully.

Chen Ziyang and Xiao Na cautiously approached, and they found that where the two soldiers had stopped, there was a crack nearly an inch wide in the wall of the passage, and the two of them were lying near the crack and listening to something.

"Captain Xiao, come and listen, it seems that you can hear the sound of water here."

"The sound of water?" Xiao Na felt very strange, this should be a relatively high place, although I don't know what the specific altitude is, but judging from the landform outside the underground palace, there should be no water here.

Since everyone entered the dungeon, the ground they walked on was basically horizontal, which means that the altitude they were at had not changed, and they were all at the peak of a mountain, and even if there was water here, it would not be enough for people to hear the sound.

With a skeptical attitude, Xiao Na also leaned her ear over and listened. Sure enough, just as the two team members had said, she heard the rumbling sound of water through the crack, which seemed to be the sound of a waterfall falling from a high place.

The sound was sometimes loud and sometimes small, and when she was small, she could barely hear anything, but after a while, she could hear the sound of a waterfall pouring down, which made Xiao Na feel very strange, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Chen Ziyang called Yang Lei over and asked him to listen to it too, Yang Lei was also confused, he, a person who studied geology, knew that there could be no waterfall here, such a high mountain, logically speaking, even if there was water, it was the source of that kind of stream, and it was impossible to produce this kind of waterfall-like sound.

Because this had no effect on the team for the time being, in order to seize the time, Xiao Na did not let the team stay here too much, but ordered the team to move on.

When walking in the dark, Chen Ziyang felt very uncomfortable. Looking at this pitch-black passage, he had a very depressed feeling. Normally, in such a dark place, it is normal for people to have this feeling, and when he went down to the tomb twice, Chen Ziyang also had this feeling.

But this time he felt different, this suppressed feeling was very, very strong, it made him feel a sense of panic, he always felt that this dungeon was not as simple as he imagined, as if some danger had been waiting for these people.

After a while, the two soldiers at the head stopped, and in front of them was a space inside the same mountain as before. However, this time, it was not the wall of bat droppings that made them stop again, but the two corpses on the ground.

Several of the main members of the team gathered and looked carefully at the two corpses on the ground. Both bodies were lying face down on the ground, and from the outside, the two corpses were dressed very thinly, but because the clothes were rotting badly, it was impossible to tell what they were wearing.

"Strange, why are there corpses here? When did they come in? Wasn't the gate closed when we came in? Where did they come from? Shawna asked curiously.

"It's a good thing for us that there are corpses here, as you said, the outside door would not have been opened without that golden gear, so these two people definitely didn't come in through the gate.

That is to say, our inference is absolutely not wrong, this mountain should have a crack that leads directly to the outside, but there is one thing that is very strange, you look there. After Chen Ziyang finished speaking, he pointed to the two corpses from a distance.

Xiao Na looked in the direction of Chen Ziyang's finger, but she didn't see anything strange. Seeing Xiao Na's expression, Chen Ziyang knew that she didn't understand what she meant, so he used the flashlight in his hand to draw circles on the back of one of the corpses, and said:

"The clothes of these two people are relatively complete, although the dust on them is very thick and faded, but you can still see that they are clothes, but you can see there, there are two broken places on the backs of both of them, and it seems that these two wounds should be the cause of the death of the two of them."

Following Chen Ziyang's flashlight, Xiao Na looked carefully, there were two fist-sized broken places on the backs of the two corpses, and looking at the shape of the wound, it seemed that something was stuck in the bodies of the two people from the outside in. But there was nothing left on the backs of the two men, and I don't know what caused such a strange wound.

Shawna took a folded triangular spur from one of the soldiers. Pressing the tension spring on the handle of the military thorn, the half-foot-long military thorn suddenly stretched to a length of two meters, and Chen Ziyang carefully observed the sharp weapon in Xiao Na's hand on the side.

This kind of military thorn is like three pieces of iron welded together, in the shape of a three-edged knife, and at the same time the back is thick, the front is sharp, and a blood groove is naturally formed between each two iron pieces.

Looking at such a sharp thing, Chen Ziyang couldn't imagine what would happen if this thing was pierced in a person's body. This is simply a murderous weapon, not to mention that this kind of military thorn can be stretched in an instant, and it can achieve the purpose of surprise.

Xiao Na carefully turned over one of the corpses with a military thorn, and when the military thorn first came into contact with this corpse, Xiao Na was obviously stunned, because she felt that this corpse was very light, and she didn't use much strength, but she turned the corpse over at once.

After the corpse turned over, a pitch-black and shriveled face appeared under the flashlight, Xiao Na was so frightened that the military thorn in his hand trembled, the expression of this corpse was too hideous, I don't know what kind of pain he suffered in his life. The corpses were already shriveled, and at the same time, their faces were very black, as if they had been burned to black charcoal, and the facial expressions of the corpses were even more exaggerated, with their mouths wide open, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Chen Ziyang, who was squatting aside, was also taken aback. He motioned to Xiao Na, took the military thorn from Xiao Na's hand, and slowly scratched it over the corpse, trying to find some clues. Using a sharp thorn to cut open the front pocket of the corpse, Chen Ziyang showed a disappointed expression, there was nothing on the corpse that could give him a clue.

According to Xiao Na's method, when Chen Ziyang turned over another corpse, a reflective thing suddenly appeared under his flashlight, Chen Ziyang looked carefully, it turned out that the second corpse was wearing a watch on his wrist, and the dial on the watch reflected the flashlight just now, which attracted his attention.

Because he was afraid that there would be something on this corpse that could cause harm to people, Chen Ziyang did not dare to take off the watch directly, so he took two steps closer to the corpse, inserted the long military thorn under the strap, and pulled it back.

Originally, his idea was to bring the watch closer so that he could see the style of the watch, but what he didn't expect was that the wrist of this corpse was like an old tree trunk that had dried up for many years, and under his gentle pull, the wrist of the corpse was actually broken.

Carrying a withered hand and the watch in front of him, Chen Ziyang said sorry to the corpse. He took the watch off the severed hand, dusted the dial and the back cover, and looked at it.

The back of the watch is a steel cover with a large number of English letters printed on it, although Chen Ziyang could not read what was written on it, but there was an English sentence he knew, made in 1996.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Na saw Chen Ziyang's puzzled expression on the side, and hurriedly asked.

"This watch was made in 1996, which means that when this person entered this underground palace, the earliest time could only be 1996, or even later.

But if you look at the degree of dryness of these two corpses, normally the corpses exposed to this space should be decomposed, not withered. But the two bodies were like mummies, and there was no water in them.

As you saw just now, I just touched it lightly, and the hands and wrists of this corpse were broken, and if my guess is correct, these two corpses should have been drained of water from their bodies before they died, so they became like this. ”

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Xiao Na reacted that something was wrong, yes, why didn't these two corpses rot, but dried up? Judging by the appearance of these two corpses, they should not have been deliberately mummified, but who drained the water from the bodies of these two corpses? Why would he do that? And by what method is it drained?

With a stomach full of questions, Chen Ziyang continued to rummage through the bodies of the two corpses, but did not get other useful clues, and now in addition to knowing that the two corpses may have entered this underground palace after 1996, the more things that the corpses brought him were doubts.

The withered torso and hideous facial expression made Xiao Na feel that the two corpses were a little strange. However, there is a mountain space ahead, which should be suitable for the rest of the team, and there is no point in delaying time here at this time. Picking up the pocket watch, Shawna let the team move on.

Because of the previous experience of scaring the dormant bat swarms with flashbangs, the people in the team were extra careful this time, and after entering this mountain space, everyone did not make any sound, but followed the edge of this mountain space, carefully looking for a place to camp.

In the process of advancing, Chen Ziyang has been carefully observing the ground to see if there are any traces of that kind of rotation on the ground, and he doesn't want to lose his way again.

Several people in the team shone the flashlight to the top of the mountain space, but the height of this mountain space was relatively high, and the flashlight could not illuminate anything. The biggest concern now is whether there will still be those huge bats on it, and if that happens, if anyone makes a noise in their sleep and scares them, the people in the team will be attacked by the bats again.

In order to allow the team to evacuate quickly when the bats attacked, Xiao Na asked the team members to rest near the passage that came in, and did not continue to go deeper into the interior of the mountain space.

In this case, even if there is a swarm of bats in the space, and the bats are frightened and start attacking them, the team will be able to retreat quickly. And the passage had been searched when they entered, and there was nothing to worry about except for the two bodies lying at the entrance of the passage.

Since the team hadn't fully explored the space, and didn't know how big it was, Xiao Na arranged for a few people to shine left and right with flashlights, hoping to see the situation near the team's camp.

Yang Lei also joined these people. Shining in different directions with the flashlight in his hand, just as he shone back and forth, the flashlight quickly crossed the surface of an object, and when the flashlight slashed, Yang Lei seemed to see a miserable white hideous face, and glared at him angrily.

Yang Lei, who saw this scene, only felt that a gust of yin wind blew on his body, and at this moment, Yang Lei's body was instantly covered with goosebumps, and he was stunned there, he completely understood the meaning of shuddering.

Yang Lei, who was frightened, hurriedly shone the flashlight on the place just now, but he didn't find anything, could it be that he was wrong just now? Yang Lei thought in his heart, and at the same time continued to search with the flashlight in his hand.
