Chapter 844: Suspicion (I)
Liu Xu, who disappeared out of thin air, shocked my heart, and I slowly placed the beggar on the corner of the wall, carried the steel knife in one hand, and walked forward cautiously.
Actually, this tomb pit is not particularly large, except for the burial chamber, which is a small road, which is the road we just came. Rather than calling it a "road", it would be more appropriate to call it a "passage", a narrow road that barely allows two people to walk side by side, and the road is so short that you can see your head at a glance.
It's such a palm-sized place, where can Liu Xu go? I looked around, and there were yellow-brown earthen walls everywhere, and there was no place to hide people.
"Brother Liu?" I shouted tentatively.
The call to Liu Xu was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was not even a response in the empty tomb.
I looked back at the beggar again, and walked along the road. I guess it could be that Liu Xu and the others were impatient and returned to the surface first, as long as I found the entrance to the cave, then everything would be fine.
Along the way, I whispered Liu Xu's name as I walked, but from beginning to end, I didn't hear any response at all.
The road was short, but the more I went, the more panicked I became. I pondered it repeatedly, but I still couldn't find a reason for Liu Xu to hide, how could a big living person disappear out of thin air?
It didn't take long for us to see the entrance to the cave where we came. Standing under the entrance to the cave, I looked up and saw nothing but stars in the sky. As I looked at the hole, a chill ran down the soles of my feet and down my spine.
The rope is gone! That's right, the rope we used to get into the hole!
I took a cursory look, the height of this cave is about no more than ten meters, this height is actually not too difficult for me, I should be able to climb up, only if I go up, can I find a way to save the beggar.
I looked behind me again, made sure everything was safe, and climbed up with both hands and feet. However, the soil beneath the surface was so soft that I couldn't stand it at all, so with a little effort, I was able to roll down with a lot of dirt, and after a few repeated attempts, it remained in place.
Judging from this situation, let alone ten meters, it is difficult to take a step forward! This means that without the help of external forces, it would be impossible for me and the beggar to get out.
"Whoa", the sound of sand and stones rolling down broke my helplessness, I was slightly stunned, this sound came from my left-hand side, it was the voice from the tomb!
My heart sank, it shouldn't have been a beggar's accident, right?
I spread my legs and ran out briskly in the direction of the tomb. Before I could get to the tomb, I was blocked by a cloud of dust, and between the dust, it was as if I had entered a hazy world, full of ambiguity, and the experience of the battle told me that this kind of environment should not be left for long! At the same time, I smelled an imperceptible rancid smell, a rancid smell wrapped in dust!
The situation ahead is unclear, don't rush in! I stepped back and quickly withdrew. No sooner had I stood up than the sound of metal crashing could be heard in the dust.
My heart was shocked, and I instinctively separated my two feet one after the other, and the steel knife in my sleeve was also shaken out by me and held it tightly in my hand.
The sound of "Whoa, whoa......" The voice was getting closer and closer to me, and I saw a figure walking slowly towards me in the thick dust.
The knife in my hand has been raised to my ear, ready to be cleaved at any moment. The figure slowly became clearer, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was Liu Xu!
I slowly lowered the knife, but my vigilance did not diminish in the slightest. A person who suddenly disappeared and appeared out of thin air, the suspiciousness of this matter is self-evident!
Liu Xu's face was covered with wounds of different sizes, and the dust that exploded in the air slowly stuck to Liu Xu's face, and the blood mixed with the dust and formed a blood scab. In particular, the blood that was still gushing out of his arm proved that his appearance was suspicious.
As soon as Liu Xu looked up and saw me, he instantly took out a short blade similar to a dart from his arms and pointed it straight in front of me.
