Chapter 42: Shadows
After a few silent steps, we were already at the end of the line. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoI was just about to walk to the other side of the camel when the big man at the end of the group suddenly turned around, and I looked at him defenselessly. According to the principle of reflex, if I see his eyes, he must be able to see mine, only to see him look at the long wind behind me again, and was about to shout in horror, but immediately turned away and went on. It scared me into a cold sweat. I looked at Changfeng and saw that his expression was calm, and I didn't know how he did it. I hurriedly rubbed to the side, using the camel as a cover, and walked side by side with Changfeng one after the other. Fortunately, it is such a tall animal, and fortunately it is such a dark environment. It's just that the big man is also very powerful, and our movements are already so light, and he still discovered them. Probably because the guys were so well trained that we were almost exposed.
As we walked with the procession, we could still see the road under our feet and be more careful, even though there were camels blocking the light. It didn't take long for me to realize that we were going downhill, and it had been going downhill. The strange thing is that the front of me is getting wider and wider, but the downhill road is still the same, and the amplitude is not small. Wouldn't this be the end of Huangquan Road? Such a strange thought burst out of my mind. Changfeng said: "Yes, it's already 300 meters above the ground, don't you feel a little hot?"
I was amazed that Changfeng could actually transmit a voice to me, instead of just feeling what he meant before, and surprised that he had gone so deep. It is true that the clothes we wear are thicker, and when we were on the ground, it was a little cold, but now it is a little hot. However, it's still downhill, where is this going?
Finally, it felt like it was no longer downhill, but there was a sound of rushing water in my ears, and it seemed that I had encountered an underground river. The caravan walked in an orderly manner, and it should be familiar to see it. Sure enough, when we walked to the river, we saw the people in front of us crossing the river, the water was already up to their ankles, and they walked directly through the water as if they were all right. Changfeng and I stopped to observe. This dark river is more than ten meters wide, and at its deepest point, it is no longer up to a person's knee. But it is estimated that there is no silt in the water, because the camels are walking fairly steadily. The people in front of them began to take off their pants, and in the light of the fire, they could see that the pants were attached to their boots, and it dawned on them that they must be wearing waterproof leather pants, no wonder they waded into the water without care. When they took off the leather pants, which were normal ones, they took out their shoes and put them on, and then continued walking. Looks like this has some experience. After they had walked some distance from the river, Changfeng and I lifted our breath, and a few dragonflies passed by. We quickly caught up with the group, still using camels as cover, walking one after the other. I asked Changfeng in my heart: "Why is it getting stranger and stranger the more I go, I have no bottom in my heart." ”
Changfeng said: "The air is still circulating, don't be afraid. It's safe here, and there are fish in the water. ”
No, I know that, and it's okay? Well, I don't even know what to say.
Changfeng said: "Don't panic, someone leads the way, what are you afraid of, and they should walk often, don't you see that they are very quiet?"
Well, if you look at it this way, it is much safer to take this road than to climb a snowy mountain. Although the road is going downhill, the road is flat and there is no danger, but the temperature is high and the more you walk, the hotter it gets.
Changfeng said: "What's the use of safety, you have to take the right road, if they take this road, they may not be able to get to their village." We're just feeling it now, and we don't know what the result is. ”
Also, we didn't have any trace of Sun Daming at all, just with Jinpeng's flickering, we came to this place where birds don't, and with the feeling of Changfeng and two investigations, we decided to take this dark road, which can be regarded as a gamble.
I don't know how long I've been walking, although the temperature hasn't changed, but I'm still a little too hot to stand, my back is damp and sticky, and I don't have energy. At this time, I only heard someone in front of me shouting something, and I was puzzled, and the long wind pulled me to the side of the darkness.
I asked him in my mind, "What's wrong?"
Changfeng said, "They're going to rest." ”
My legs are weak, obedient, and I can finally rest. I was just about to take out my phone to check the time, but I was held down by Changfeng: "There is light, don't expose it, we have been walking with them for four hours." ”
Four hours, although it is not too long, but the temperature, this dress, really makes people feel hot and tired. Finally able to sit down, I pulled water out of my backpack and handed Changfeng a bottle and a bag of biscuits. The two men hid behind them like thieves and ate. Originally, we martial arts practitioners were anti-hunger, but walking for four hours at such temperatures was far more physically demanding than walking for a day and a night, and we really had to replenish it in time. The group in front of them gathered eight torches together and supported them to form a large fire, which illuminated them so brightly that they could see clearly.
From a distance, I saw them unloading the goods, and then they gathered in one place, eating and drinking, quite relaxed. They can have more physical strength than us, and these people are not iron-clad but also specially trained. Their place was still relatively flat, or they had cleaned it. It seems that this is the place where they will rest.
Now we're in a huge passageway, and we're all in the hall. The temperature has to be more than 20 degrees, and you will feel the heat when you wear single clothes. The passage is presented in an irregular manner. The place where Changfeng and I were was a protruding place, right as a barrier, and we sat behind the barrier, completely undetected. As I was drinking, the wind said, "Leave half of it, I don't know how long it will take." ”
I quickly stopped, I had already drunk more than half of it, and I had eaten most of the biscuits. I obediently tightened it and put it back in my backpack. Changfeng also handed me his own, and sure enough, half of it was left, and this guy didn't say it early, and if he said it a little later, I would eat it all. However, the group did not leave, unloaded the goods, lay down on the ground, and extinguished the torches.
I looked at Changfeng in a daze and asked him in a low voice, "What's the situation?"
Changfeng was finally willing to speak, and completely whispered: "Sleep." ”
After saying that, he actually lay down on the ground. This...... This...... Forget it, I'm not a young master, so I'll sleep underground.
There is a long wind, and I sleep steadily. I don't know when, the long wind pushed me awake.
I sat up and leaned forward to look ahead, and saw that the torches had been lit in front of me, and the group had begun to eat again. I rubbed my eyes and whispered to him, "What time is it?"
Changfeng said, "Ten o'clock in the morning." ”
As soon as I said this, I was also hungry, so I took out my things, and I knew that I would buy more, but alas, I ate the little thing left before going to bed, and it didn't solve the problem at all, so I opened the beef jerky and grabbed a handful.
Soon the gang had finished eating and began to carry the goods onto the camels.
Such a toss, it can be seen that there is still a long way to go. I pressed the backpack with only a couplet of Wangzai milk and an incomplete bag of beef jerky, and I was really bottomless.
The caravan has left, and I am now traveling light, plus I have slept and eaten something, and I feel in good shape. We flew a few steps and followed them closely.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the man had already woken up and remembered to see us? Changfeng said, "Don't worry, he won't remember." Since I inhaled the horse chestnut flower, I felt that my body had undergone many changes, and I also had a different feeling in the thinking area, before he and I looked at each other, and I immediately stopped drinking in my heart: Go back, you don't see anything. Unexpectedly, it really achieved the expected effect, and there was no existence of us in his mind. After getting such a result, I tried to pass on the message to you, and it actually succeeded. ”
So that's what happened, I thought Changfeng used hypnosis. It seems that Changfeng's superpowers have increased a lot, and he is so excited in his heart, his protector is strong again, how can he not be happy.
After walking for about an hour, I felt that I was walking downhill, and the downhill road continued to stretch, and the more I walked, the hotter it became. It has a summer feeling, and it's hard for me to wear so much. I have no choice but to endure it.
Just when I was listless and helpless, Changfeng said, "Attention, I feel the smell of danger. ”
It was like being poured cold water, and I immediately refreshed myself. It's still hot, but I don't have time to take care of it. It looked like it was about five or six minutes before the voice of the leader came from the front. I thought to myself, "What did he say?"
Changfeng replied: "He said everyone be careful, it's almost time to reach the monster territory?"
Monster Territory?What is Monster Territory?How many meters is underground?
Changfeng replied, "That's what he said, and there was uneasiness in his voice. We are now at 800 meters underground, and the current temperature should be 33 degrees. ”
No wonder I feel so hot, but 33 degrees? It's a high temperature, I feel like it's about 28 degrees, and if it's 33 degrees, I really want to be bare-chested. But now I just feel very hot, why don't I feel so hot? Changfeng is not mistaken, right?
Changfeng replied: "Of course I'm not mistaken, I don't feel so hot, I don't know if it's because of our stamina after inhaling the breath of the horse chestnut flower or because we wore a scale armor vest." ”
Aren't they also wearing long clothes, don't you see them shouting heat?
Changfeng replied: "I really can't explain this, maybe they are adapted." But there is nothing wrong with my instrument and my calculations. Don't dwell on this, watch the dots. ”
Changfeng's words had just finished in my ears, and I heard a commotion at the front of the line, accompanied by a few screams, and Changfeng quickly pulled me aside. The big men drew their sabers and rushed to the front of the line.
