Chapter 388: The Road Ahead
Lost the connection with the bell, as the only map to rely on on the way forward, only the only copy in Lin's mind, he held the oil lamp that he took off the wall during the previous break, and maintained a fast pace as much as possible, the road was rugged and difficult to walk, everywhere there were piles of rocks or broken and sunken potholes, Lin groped for the right path with the help of the map's instructions, and from time to time paid attention to the oil lamp in his hand, the light became more and more dim, I don't know how long it could last, maybe the next second, the last light source was extinguished, and due to the collapse, most of the oil lamps in the original work were heroically sacrificed, one by one extinguished empty shells buried under the rocky soil.

Xiao Fan followed closely behind Lin and climbed up along a huge stone, the road in front was very narrow, and this large stone fell down, directly blocking all the way, and it was impossible to bypass it.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Fan had just climbed to the top of the boulder and almost hit Lin's back, and she saw Lin standing there motionless.
"There's no way. Lin held the oil lamp in front of him.
Xiao Fan vaguely saw the wall standing very close in front of him through the faint firelight, with an arc protruding outward.
"Can't you get through? But this section of the road is almost one-way," Xiao Fan stood up and patted the dust sticky on his buttocks, but he was running and climbing all the way, and he couldn't shoot it clean with too much dust on his body, "If you want to turn around and detour, you will waste a lot of time." She remembered the phone she was lying in her pocket, and it was not as useful as turning her head when it ran out of power.
"No, wait a minute, I don't think it's so troublesome," Lin touched the potholed surface of the stone wall, "You look closer here, this is not a wall connected to the surroundings, it is a separate stone, probably because of the collapse just now, it just fell here to block the road, in this case, the other side must be a relatively open space." ”
Because of the narrowness of the road, Xiao Fan stood side by side with Lin, shrunk her body and squeezed under his arm, and approached to touch the boulder, probably because of the location, she felt the wind blowing on her face, although it was very subtle, and it stopped from time to time, but it was not an illusion.
"There is an air current," Lin touched the edge of the boulder, he held the oil lamp on the edge, and saw that there was a small gap between the boulder and the surrounding stone walls, "the air flow through here, blowing from the other side, the possibility of leaving the interior of this mountain has increased, as long as we can go to the other side of this boulder, where there is air current, either to the outside, or there is a huge space inside, in such a mountain, there can be such a large space, it can only be man-made." ”
He pushed the boulder hard, and there was a feeling of the stone loosening, but after all, his strength alone was too small, and the boulder was stuck in the rock crevice and did not move.
"Xiao Fan, you retreat to the back," Lin took out a number of careful squares from the box around his waist one by one, and glued them to the edge of the boulder, "I'll move this stone away." ”
"Are you going to blow it up?" Xiao Fan asked by jumping back under the stone under his feet, hiding in the corner and covering his ears.
"No, it's too wasteful to blow it all up, and with such a small space, it's easy to collapse again, so we'll be buried underneath and die," Lin took a few steps back, keeping a square box in his hand, he estimated the maximum distance between the boxes that could be resonated by magic, and then channeled the magic power into the thing in his hand, and threw it, "Just blast the edge." ”
He immediately turned and threw himself down, and a continuous roar sounded behind him, bang......
Xiao Fan looked up, when Lin fell to the ground, he was facing her under the stone, his face almost touched her body, and then the series of explosions set off a blue-white light, fading Lin's face from Xiao Fan's field of vision, and she immediately closed her eyes to prevent her eyes from being stimulated by the bright light.
Almost when the light had just faded to the point where the naked eye was adapted, he had already gotten up and turned around, and with the help of the afterglow that had not completely disappeared, he clearly confirmed the state of the boulder after it was detonated, and the edge was blown away, perhaps because the other side was still in pitch black, so he couldn't see the situation over there through the gap.
But after a long time of trekking in the dark and uninhabited underground, he also had to worry about the beasts or other monsters that would appear when and where, and he was already worried about whether there would be any more earthquakes and collapses, resulting in a depressed state that had been consuming the hearts and spirits of the two of them, so Lin didn't think more, and was ready to push the boulder down directly.
"How's it going?" Xiao Fan's head popped out from under the stone.
"Help me get this boulder out of the way. Lin leaned against the surface of the boulder, exerting all his strength.
The two of them pushed the boulder hard, and the stones that had been shattered by the explosion staggered and moved backwards little by little.
Lin felt the boulder move forward in small increments through his hands, and when the boulder was almost completely pushed out of the gap between the rock walls, he suddenly felt that he had auditory hallucinations, and there was a strange sound in his ears, the sound of the stone rubbing on the ground, the sound of the fan blades lapping...... All sorts of weird voices mingle together, making people upset.
But when he just questioned all this, the palm that had been touching the wall suddenly lost its support, empty, the road leading to the other side seemed to be downhill in front, the boulder was finally completely pushed out of the gap, and rolled down the ramp quickly, Lin listened to the sound of the boulder rolling gradually getting smaller, about four or five seconds before stopping, the sound of hitting the ground was heard, and it was roughly calculated that the foot of the station at this moment was six or seven meters high from the ground in front of him.
"Did you hear anything just now?" The two maintained the posture of just pushing the boulder away, and Xiao Fan's hands were withdrawn in time, and he asked first.
Lin felt a little hairy in his heart, he thought that at that moment just now, he was nervous.
"Did you hear that?" he asked.
"It's not very clear, I thought it was a delusion. Xiao Fan said again.
Perhaps because the boulder had been removed, more air currents had converged into air waves, blowing through the circular gap in front of them and blowing on the two of them, with a cold feeling on their faces that seemed to be locked in an ice cellar that had been locked underground for thousands of years.
Lin swallowed nervously and cautiously, but still took a step forward, blocking Xiao Fan behind him. Reality, there will not be much more time for them to look back and find other ways.
The first time he stepped into it, he had a new illusion, feeling as if he had stepped into a cold cave, not cold in the sense of the senses, but a kind of inner anxiety and uneasiness that words could not explain. He felt the cold wind hit his face, and his hairs stood on end.
There was a disgusting and repulsive sticky feeling from the soles of his feet, which had faded away but still had a residual sweet smell, and gradually poured into the nostrils of the two of them, Lin carefully withdrew his feet, held the oil lamp forward, lowered his body to look, and what came into view was a bright red liquid, and a pillar that blurred the appearance was soaked in the middle.
"This, what is it?blood?" Xiao Fan stood behind Lin, poked her head out to look, but unexpectedly saw the scene she didn't want to see, that is, the bright red of the eyes, the kind of red with a unique charm, which makes people feel that it only belongs to blood, and the stinger is uncomfortable.
"Probably, it's the animal's limbs, which seem to have been cut off," Lin guessed without continuing to close the distance, saying, "It became a blur of flesh and blood, it must have been smashed by a heavy object, probably a beast that fell with the falling rocks when it collapsed, and unfortunately was crushed under the falling rocks and broke its body." ”
He went inside, holding the oil lamp, to find the remaining torso of the beast that had died a terrible death, to verify the correctness of his speculation. He saw that not far in front of him, less than ten meters away, there were several huge stones, which smashed into the ground and fell inside, and blood overflowed from the gap between the falling rocks and the ground, filling the ground with red.
Lin frowned, and he saw that the nearest boulder seemed to be moving, and with an unhurried speed, gradually approaching them, as if it were a living stone.
"No, it's not just an ordinary stone, it's just made of stone. With surprise in his eyes, Lin took Xiao Fan's hand and stepped back, keeping a distance from the living stone.
Lin reached out and fumbled around the box to make sure there were enough items left, and then he thought about the approaching unknown being and threw the box, which was the trick he was most used to and most accustomed to.
The box seemed to smash into the object's body, releasing a harmless white shimmer.
In the dim white light, two men saw a huge humanoid figure pacing toward them.
"Giants?" Xiao Fan asked puzzled, "a giant clothed in stones." ”
