Dry rations and other basic supplies had already been prepared, and the team made a rapid march towards the Moriah Mine, where a group of horses set off from the red sulphur camp and looked spectacular from afar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past two days, the dark clouds were thrown aside by Rodin, and they were almost sick, and as soon as they left the red sulfur, they shook off their hooves and ran happily.

Isabella wrapped her arms around his waist tightly and rode together, looking very intimate, but Uma behind her looked at the two with a strange gaze from time to time.

"Men are all guys who like the new and hate the old, I must give Cynthia a good talk when I go back!"

She pursed her lips, not knowing what to think, and suddenly pinched Casillas in front of her with her fingers, and the big man suddenly screamed, but he didn't know that the culprit of this unwarranted disaster was beside him.

After more than two hours of galloping, everyone arrived at the mine before the sun was at its strongest at noon, and a barren yellow earth came into sight in the vast expanse of green grass.

It resembles a huge man-dug pit, the terrain is vainly lower than the surrounding ground, and the ground is littered with rubble and gravel, and the ground is full of pits, knives and axes.

Rodin crouched down, dipped his fingers in a little of the white powder around him, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed.

"Hmm...... Sulfur, saltpeter, this is explosives. “

And not far in front of them, stood a wide entrance, and the guide, very decisively, walked in first, followed by the others.

They lined up in a long line and entered in an orderly manner under the arrangement of their guides.

Isabella held Rodin's big hand tightly and slowly followed.

After entering the mine, the temperature plummets, making people feel cool. The light also dimmed suddenly, but there was an iron container full of oilcloth on the rock wall on both sides, and the guides lit the torch from time to time, and the dim light sprinkled down, dispelling the darkness and shaking the spirits of the people.

The tunnel is quite spacious, and it doesn't look bloated to accommodate five people standing side by side. The side walls were dark and swarthy, cool and rough to the touch, but there were no artificially constructed safety fortifications, and the red sulfur department seemed to be very confident in its stability.

Darkness and the unknown always make people hesitate, and everyone spontaneously kept quiet, and the occasional sporadic voice quickly disappeared.

The ground of the entire tunnel has been sloping down at a very small slope, and the further inward they go, the farther away they are from the surface.

Gradually, the coolness became even better, and members of the slightly weaker constitution, such as Isabella, quietly took out the cotton clothes that had been prepared in the package and put them on. The tunnel ahead grew darker and quieter, and one couldn't help but wonder if some unknown creature was watching them. In order to facilitate the candidates to explore the mines, the miners were given a holiday during the assessment period.

Therefore, now there are only a group of their Lienong forces in the entire mine, and the other candidate forces have not yet arrived.

The dim light of the fire, illuminating the faces of the people is uncertain, the body is cold, the heart is even cooler, and the quiet too much will also form a terrifying atmosphere. Rodin could feel that the little hand holding him was unconsciously covered with cold sweat, and the girl seemed to be more afraid of the darkness.

However, some protruding tumor-like bonanzas had begun to appear on the smooth walls, and these strange shapes had evacuated some of the psychological burdens of the departments, and the guides began to introduce them, consciously or unconsciously.

The anxiety of the crowd gradually calmed down.

However, within a quarter of an hour, the next scene made their whole hearts hang again—the first fork in the Moriath Mine Road appeared.

The left and right hands appeared in their eyes, and there seemed to be a faint cool breeze running out of it, which made people cool from beginning to end, and there was some kind of dense sound that was suppressed to the extreme, like the devil's low sigh.

The guide didn't make the first choice, and was silent for a moment.

For Isabella, who had never entered the mines, the fear of darkness was a huge problem, especially in the face of such a fork in the road that seemed so deep that she didn't know where to go.

She pursed her pink lips, hesitant and uneasy, while Rodin gently patted the back of her hand to soothe.

The fork in the road has another meaning, it represents the branch of destiny, each of which will have a completely different journey, whether it leads to a different end or a different end, no one knows.

In the eyes of wizards, the different branches of choice are linked to the occult system.

Eventually, under the command of the guide, the five teams were divided into two halves. The Flint Tribe, the close Eagle Tribe, and the Red Sulfur tribe were led by two guides to the left-hand side, and the remaining three tribes were right-handed.

Before stepping into the fork in the road, Isabella deliberately used a witchcraft trick called marking, leaving a glowing sign at the entrance that stood out in the dimly lit pit.

"The sign lasts about five hours, and we try to hurry. ”

"Actually, we can't unleash witchcraft yet, and we all have marks in this area. ”

Someone in the Erythriphur said so, but Isabella still left the sign for herself.

In the fork in the road, the flow of people was halved, and the mine road became narrow and cramped, which inexplicably increased the pressure on everyone's hearts.

The guides remained unchanged, and they could see that everything was still under their control.

However, it didn't take long for another fork in the road to appear.

The two guides exchanged words for a moment, and the crowd was split into two parts again, with two members of the Flint being unfortunate enough to be split on the other side. Leaving familiar faces and embarking on a strange and dim journey, Rao is a grassland boy like them can't help but be a little worried.

"Two brothers, how many forks in the road are there, if we continue to divide like this, there will be fewer and fewer of us, what if we encounter danger?"

"Rest assured, this area is still on the outskirts of the mine. We've been in it for over thirty years, and we don't get lost with our eyes closed, and we've never seen anything of the monster. ”

With their pledges, the crowd suppressed their agitation and continued on their way, and Isabella did the same, leaving behind a fluorescent road marker once more.

The current situation is that there is only one Guide per team.

Deeper, before you know it, time flies, and there are fewer and fewer fixed-point torches on both sides, and people begin to take out the torches prepared in the package to illuminate.

They don't walk fast, and they walk as often as they do after dinner, but they don't have that leisurely mood. Gradually, several members of the group became slightly shorter and their faces turned pale.

"What's wrong, what's uncomfortable?"

Isabella gently stroked her chest with her bare hands and took a deep breath to ease her strength.

"It's okay, let's go on. However, her body was held tightly by him.

"No, the air around me is getting thinner. He muttered softly, "Shall I rest with you?"

"No, they left it behind. She stubbornly took a step.

"Everyone, pay attention, try to control the rhythm of your breathing, the air is getting thinner and thinner now!" Rodin had no choice but to yell at the crowd.

Everyone gritted their teeth, buried their heads and walked forward for a distance, and at a certain moment, a strong wind like a demon roaring around them suddenly whistled by, scraping people's faces like knives.

And three dark and deep corridors once again lay in front of them, blocking their way like a moat.

"Squeak......" There was a gasp in the team.

"It's fun now, not two forks, but three. Clint touched his chin and said with a hint of goodness.

"We only have one guide, and we can't separate again this time!"

"Everyone, be quiet, don't be in a hurry. Rodin waved his hand with several members of the Wind Brigade to calm everyone.

There are currently fifteen people in their team, but there is only one guide, how can they explore the three paths?

The middle-aged man rubbed his brow and fell into deep thought.

"Why don't we explore one by one?" someone suggested, but was immediately denied, "No, there must be a fork in the road, and it would be too time-consuming to do so, and I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey." ”

"Otherwise, it's divided into three sides, a team of five, and I also have the tools to make marks, so I shouldn't get lost!"

"What I'm afraid of is that there are too many forks in the road, and the more I can't figure out the direction, the more wrong I go, and any mark is in vain!"

After a lot of discussion, the group fell into a deathly silence, and Rodin and Isabella looked at each other with worry in their eyes. He whispered,

"With just five guides, it seems impossible to find clues in the intricacies of the Moriah Mine. ”

Finally, the middle-aged man withdrew his hand and smiled reluctantly, "I think that brother just said right, we can explore in three waves, and at the current speed of travel, we will not encounter too dense bifurcations if we walk for another two hours, so the sense of disorientation does not exist." “

Hearing this, everyone looked at him with questioning eyes.

The guide smiled bitterly and persuaded for a long time, and when he saw that they were indifferent, he said helplessly, "Even if the brothers don't believe in my promise, then they should also believe in the young master Lienong, he could have made an oath in the name of the ancestors, and I will definitely do my best to protect everyone's safety." “

He paused, and said sharply,

"If you don't believe me, how about I swear too?" he made an oath without delay, and the suspicious eyes around him finally dissipated a lot.

"If you really want to divide into three teams, there is no doubt that everyone wants to follow you!"

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly fell into freezing, and fourteen pairs of dark eyes looked at the guide in the middle.

He wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said, "Otherwise, let's draw lots, fourteen lots, four of which are marked, and the person who wins the lottery will follow me all the way." How about the rest?"

No one objected, and he neatly cut off the wooden torch and cut it into a handful of sticks that were four long and ten short.

In this strange atmosphere, everyone took turns to draw lots.

"Alas, it seems that I didn't worship the ancestor totem when I went out today......"

"Haha, it's my turn this round, you guys have conceded!"

As soon as the results were revealed, a few families were happy and a few were sad, and Rodin sighed, "Bad luck and bad fate." He took the short wooden skewer in his hand and poked at the thick strands of hair.

When I turned my head to look, I saw Isabella staring at the long wooden skewer in her hand in a daze, and covered her small mouth in surprise.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it seems that our luck is not bad at home." “

In the end, Isabella, Klin, Toya, and one of the Erythur members won the long lottery and were lucky enough to be placed on the Guide's team.

"No, that's not true. Isabella muttered softly,

"Rodin, I'm going to be with you!" she said as she trotted over and grabbed his arm.

"Don't be willful, go back quickly!" Rodin deliberately scolded her with a cold face,

"You and Sister Toya happen to take care of each other, so I don't have to worry about it!"

"No, I'm going to go with you. As she spoke, her starry eyes stared straight at him, indicating her determination.

"Alas, I can see that my old man's goosebumps are about to rise!" Clint said helplessly with his hand on his forehead,

"Little Isha, uncle, I'll fulfill you, I don't need to be protected by others as a silver powerhouse!"

"What do you mean?" said Isabella, her eyes curled into crescent moons.

"How can I, a big man, take advantage of you? Why don't you swap with Uma or Claire and let the women get on the line!"

Rodin's eyebrows twitched, looking rather repulsive.

"Rodin, you should be honest with Isha, otherwise she will never compromise. Don't ignore any woman's heart. “

Uma had a hint of a teasing smile on her charming face, but she was actually sighing in her heart, "The IQ of a woman who is in love has really returned to zero!" But he couldn't help but hold Casillas's hand tightly beside him.

"But ......"

"Oh, but what, what kind of body have you become as a man's mother-in-law, hurry up and exchange it with me!"

Uncle Kling suddenly burst out and roared at him, the corners of Rodin's mouth twitched, and he felt a slight fever on his face, and the power of the ancestral dragon was also running in his body at a strange speed.

Moments later, under Isabella's pleading gaze, he compromised and exchanged long lots.

"Really, I'm not stupid enough to be that bad!"

"Don't go in without a guide to guide you! Otherwise, you will get lost and trapped inside, and no amount of money will be spent!"

In the team of fifteen people, these two discordant voices suddenly appeared, and the two tiger and wolf men of the Fierce Eagle Tribe withdrew one after another.

"It's just a coward's excuse!" Clint retorted disdainfully, but he could not change the will of the two men who had lost their courage.

Eventually, thirteen people set foot on these three forks in the road.

Uncle Guide said earnestly to the other two teams, "The time to advance should not exceed two hours at most, and whether you find it or not, you must return immediately." "If you do it beyond this time, you should almost enter the middle of the mine, where there are endless forks in the road, and if you have a sense of direction, you will be lost forever, and it is useless to have a mark."

"I won't say the consequences, you also understand!"

After speaking, the guide led the group into the middle road.

Isabella placed a fluorescent road sign at the intersection as usual, and Rodin worried, "If you put it down like this, will you still have enough mental power?"

Isabella smiled, "It's okay, a fluorescent road marker only consumes 0.5 Oren's spiritual power, and I can place ten of them in my state!"

In their group, the guide was the leader, Rodin was second, Isabella and Toya were in the center, and the unattractive guard of the Red Sulfur tribe was behind the temple.

At this time, nearly an hour had passed since everyone entered the mine, and the mine road was becoming darker and colder, and the light of the torch was forced into an extremely narrow area, and there were large areas of territory in darkness around everyone's bodies.

Isabella clutched Rodin's shirt, and Toya, an ordinary little woman, held the hem of her skirt with some trepidation, her delicate makeup was drenched in cold sweat, but she stubbornly suppressed the fear in her heart.

The air was getting thinner and thinner, and the two women were breathing rapidly and panting.

"Alas, you are too weak to come in. It's good that I can take care of one or two with you, otherwise how would you survive it?"

Rodin couldn't bear it, and irrefuted Isabella on his back. She didn't object, squinting her eyes slightly as if she was enjoying each other's warmth, Rodin felt the softness and softness of his back and the amazing plumpness between his fingers, and the whole person was much happier and more comfortable.

At his signal, the little woman put aside her reserve, and clung to the hem of his clothes, half of her fleshy body leaned on him, and the whole person was almost dragged away.

It is rare to see such a hug from left to right, and Rodin's expression is abstract, not only does he feel the slightest burden, but he is full of energy.

However, the rest of the journey was like a nightmare, and his face became more and more solemn - one fork in the road after another.

"Didn't you say that you would have to walk for about two hours to get back into the area where the mine forks frequently?"

The guide said, "That's for them, our road, since I am a veteran, must be the most difficult!"

The most difficult road, full of twists and turns, reminded Rodin of the song called "Eighteen Bends of the Mountain Road", the whole head was a little dizzy, and Isabella's mental power was quickly exhausted by the fluorescent road marker.

Later, the four of them numbly followed the leader closely, and although they had endless worries in their hearts, they had long been unable to distinguish the direction.

You can only go one way to the end, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

The uncle guide didn't seem to notice the confusion of a few people, he kept making choices at the fork in the road, thinking about it for a long time, choosing more and more slowly, and sometimes even hesitating.

In fact, the current location is already an unexplored area of the red sulphur, and his more than thirty years of experience have long been useless.

But it also means that the mystery of the Moriath Mine may be lurking.

In everyone's field of vision, the ordinary journey to the mine finally took a major turn.

Illuminated by the torch, a swarthy wall blocked their path.

In the center of the wall, a five-meter-long python-like gap can be seen across the left and right walls.

At this moment, a faint cool breeze was blowing through the cracks.

"Click, click, click......" The cool breeze sent a strange sound of rustling, like a mechanical gear running non-stop.

But what could be in the depths of this mine-tunnel?

Such thoughts can't help but be creepy.
