Chapter 72: Common sense in the pit is to find a cushion (ask for subscription)
Li Muran asked Isha and Tu Yang to bring the emergency lights in their bedrooms. Lighters, candles, thick clothes, and other props are also prepared.
Bella, Tucker, and Whitetail also wore formal attire.
Bella put on her red gown and carried the Bloody Roar behind her back.
Tucker put on a security guard and carried his magic sword on his back.
Shirao, on the other hand, wears a maid's outfit and pins two daggers into the belt on her thighs.
Li Muran also asked everyone to take out the extra-long nylon rope that they had bought from Pinduoduo from the warehouse.
Finally, he grabbed a coo-goo.
Regarding entering the underground cave, Li Muran still has some common sense.
Although in various otherworldly works, the picture of entering the dungeon is often joyful and wonderful.
I can often see three or two people in the protagonist group, happy and happy, eating food and humming songs, and easily conquering the dungeon.
But that's not the reality.
Works of art, there are elements of fiction in them.
The plot of those dungeon adventures is the same, which is deliberately beautified by the creator in order not to affect the reader's reading experience.
It's fiction and doesn't correspond to reality.
In reality, underground facilities are very dangerous and full of various dangers.
Going into an underground facility without doing anything will most likely get you into big trouble.
Regardless of the possible mechanisms in the underground facilities, the danger of loose rock mass is not considered.
The most common and most dangerous is poison gas.
Unventilated dungeons can accumulate toxic gases.
And when a living form enters an environment full of poisonous gas, it will quickly lose its ability to move, or even die.
Before entering an underground facility, it is the most basic common sense to check whether there is toxic gas in the facility, and it is also a process that must be done.
In general, it is best to conduct a formal investigation using sophisticated equipment before entering an underground facility.
But this is a different world, and the conditions are limited.
Li Muran does not have props that can be investigated in detail.
In this case, the only way to do this is to replace it with a dirt method.
Before a person enters the underground facility, the lit candle must be lowered.
The candle is placed to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and tends to accumulate inside underground facilities.
If the carbon dioxide concentration is too high, the candle will go out due to lack of oxygen.
Then there is the placement of live poultry into underground facilities.
This time, it was to check for poison gas.
If there are other toxic gases other than carbon dioxide.
Poultry will have a painful reaction.
If you notice something unusual, don't go into the pit.
Handle it properly before taking action.
Although the soil method is earthy, it is very effective.
Although it is a bit troublesome to do so, 'safety in production is more important than the sky'.
There is always nothing wrong with the good habits that were cultivated in the original world.
"I remember that we used pigeons and we used thrushes over there. Because it is more sensitive, it reacts violently to poison gas. But if you don't, you can only use coo-coo instead. ”
After explaining to everyone, I also reminded everyone to remember the correct process of going down the pit.
Li Muran made people put down the candle and cooing one after another.
Because the pit is relatively deep, the light of the candle quickly becomes a dot, and finally becomes very weak and weak.
You need to stare hard to barely notice. ,
However, when the rope touched the ground and the rope was pulled back, the candle was not extinguished.
Then put the goo-goo down as well.
Touching the bottom surface and pulling it back, it also responds well. Coo-goo still had a natural expression on his face, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
It's so cute.
When I come back from the expedition, I will rely on it for the evening comfort and dinner.
The basic situation is similar to what Li Muran guessed.
I felt the wind from the mouth of the cave before, and guessed that this hole was through.
I don't know where the other exit is, and I don't know the structure of the hole.
However, with ventilation, it is difficult to accumulate toxic gases.
Of course, when encountering this kind of thing, it is not enough to judge alone. Tests must be practiced before conclusions can be drawn.
It is still necessary to use candles and goo-goo-goo.
Security processes should never be omitted.
The initial exploration was good, which reassured Li Muran and everyone.
Then it's time for someone to get into the pit.
Li Muran told the team before leaving.
"When people are in danger, run as fast as possible. Leave the white tail behind to attract firepower. ”
"Why, why me?"
"I'm not saying that. Am I all thinking about it? Of course, it's because you're the least valuable in the Demon King's Army. You see, you are not responsible for production, you are not engaged in development, you are completely dispensable, and you are still the weakest rabbit-eared clan. So discarding you at the most dangerous time is the most reasonable judgment. ”
"It's, it's cruel. Didn't Lord Li Muran say that he chose me because he valued my ability? It's because my abilities are suitable for fighting underground. ”
"That's one thing. But that's why you're the one who chooses you. Be happy to be able to show your greatest value. ”
"Who would be happy that value is the bait that attracts attention. Lord Bella, Lord Li Muran is simply a devil. Woooooooo Bullying. ”
Tucker laughed out loud while watching from the side, and Bella also hugged Baiwei to comfort Baiwei while blaming Li Muran.
"You too, how can that. This kind of strategic plan, don't say it in front of the person concerned. How sad the white tail is. This kind of thing, next time I will whisper. ”
"No, that's not comforting either. Whitetail was visibly more injured. showed a desperate expression of betrayal by the person he trusted the most. ”
In short, with Bella's comfort, Shirao's mood recovered.
Li Muran was joking. Everyone knows how much he values his family. If he is really in danger, he will not abandon the white tail. It won't let the white tail attract firepower. ”
"Lord Li Muran, is it really?"
"What Bella said is certainly true. You've been dating me for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am? I'm the master who brought you out single-handedly. ”
It's okay that Li Muran didn't say that.
After Li Muran said this, Bai Wei immediately recalled all kinds of hellish experiences after joining the Demon King Army.
Pushed to the edge of a cliff to practice courage, forced to run with crossbow arrows, tied upside down to a tree for pull-ups......
"Ahhhhh What Master Li Muran just said was absolutely sincere. He definitely planned that the situation would not be good, so he asked me to cushion it. This kind of thing was done by Lord Li Muran. I don't want to go down. I don't want to die. ”
Thanks to Hakuo, the tension disappeared and everyone's mood eased a lot.
After Shirao's mood stabilized, the pit operation officially began.
Li Muran hung the turned on emergency light on his body, and the other three also wore flashlights.
It has been tested just now, and the length of the rope into the pit is almost 30 meters.
It's a little shallower than expected.
But it's still a lot of depth.
It's more than enough to kill a person. Care has to be taken.
What's inside the pit isn't sure yet.
The absence of poison gas should not be taken lightly.
Fix the rope to the thick tree pole on one side, and let the Demon King Army keep a close watch.
He also tied a safety rope to his body.
In the order of Tucker, Li Muran, Bella, and White Tail, follow the rope and enter the hole one by one.
Soon, the sense of existence of Li Muran's four people completely disappeared. It was as if swallowed up by that endless darkness that did not exist in the first place.
Everyone watching from above couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the expedition.
Everyone was nervous, and their hearts were in their throats.
There was no leader, no instructions, and suddenly everyone had nothing to do but stare blankly at the entrance of the cave.
In order to alleviate the anxiety, everyone took the initiative to find a topic to talk about.
"I don't know what's in the hole."
"No matter what it is, I hope that Lord Li Muran can solve the problem smoothly this time."
"Yes, there shouldn't be a problem. That's Lord Li Muran. The most reliable person in the Demon King Army. ”
"Don't, don't say such unlucky things. In the words of Master Li Muran, this is called a flag. ”
"What? What does flag mean? ”
Everyone discussed uneasily, and Isha squinted into thought.
Speaking of which, from a long time ago, when I first saw this cave, I had an idea that kept haunting my mind.
However, because he was busy doing other things, this idea has been rejected by reason and has not been taken seriously.
But now, the idea became clearer, and it made Isha feel more uneasy.
What the hell is it that stays underground and makes a terrible roar?
In the Forest of Dead Song records, there is only one thing that fits such a premise.
It dawned on Isha that she called out the name that had been bothering her for so long.
"Witch, lich."
It is the spokesman of death, the nightmare of life, the common enemy of all the living.
It is a monster of the Dead that can drain life, use evil abilities to kill enemies, and feed on souls.
If you encounter this kind of monster, the average person has no hope of surviving at all.
The expedition team's situation is precarious.
As Isha shouted the name, unprecedented fear suddenly enveloped the Demon King's army.
The biggest crisis in the history of the Demon King Army has appeared.
"Lord Li Muran, Lord Bella, danger....... Come back soon. ”
.................
Li Muran and the others followed the rope into the cave.
The cave was windy, and there was a strong smell of dust and stench.
Especially the stench, choking people burst into tears.
Even the Great Demon King Tucker couldn't help but complain.
"What does it smell like? Why is it so strong? There is something wrong with this hole. ”
Although I understand Tucker's feelings, the smell is most likely unrelated to the condition of the cave itself.
If you guessed correctly, there is a good chance that this smell is caused by the Demon King Army, and it is not a situation unique to the cave.
Tucker didn't know that in order to save trouble, Li Muran kept asking the Demon King Army to throw all kinds of garbage in this hole.
And that garbage is probably the culprit of the strange smell.
Descending along the rope, there is a sense of 'ghost blowing the lamp in the tomb robbery plot'.
I didn't expect to be able to increase this experience in another world.
Although I felt that it was troublesome, I was also instinctively excited.
As you enter the cave, the space around you grows larger.
When I descended about 20 meters, I felt that the position of the rock wall had become farther away.
As guessed, when descending to 30 meters, it officially touches the ground.
It is a garbage heap formed by the discarded garbage of the Demon King Army.
Although it was a garbage heap, his legs stepped on the ground again, and an inexplicable sense of solidity welled up in his heart.
"Here we are."
Li Muran, Tucker, Bella, and Baiwei went down to the bottom of the cave, and after walking down from the garbage heap, they confirmed that there was no problem with all the members, and the expedition officially began.
If you follow the unfolding of the ghost blowing the lamp, there will definitely be all kinds of dangerous things waiting for you next.
The members of the expedition will be sacrificed one by one, and in the end, only a few protagonists remain.
But here, there's no need to worry about that.
After all, Li Muran, Bella, Tucker, and Baiwei are not ordinary people.
In this world, everyone has far more power than the average explorer (human).
When something weird appears, it's definitely not as powerless as running back in the movie, and it's definitely going to be weird.
Of course, caution is just as necessary.
Li Muran held an emergency light in one hand and a single-shot crossbow in the other, Bella had a flashlight in one hand and a bloody roar in the other, and Baiwei was a dagger in one hand and a flashlight in the other. Tucker also looked around with a flashlight, looking at everything with interest.
Let's try not to stay too far away, if there is a problem, we should take care of each other.
Emergency lights and flashlights have a limited light range, so you can't see the full picture of the cave.
But one thing is for sure, the pre-perception of the drop to half a halt is over. The underground space is larger than when seen from the cave entrance.
The space is very wide, the road is straight, the ground is flat, it is not the kind of natural karst cave, figuratively speaking, it is more like an underground palace dug out by artificiality.
The expanded space made everyone sigh.
Doubts also arise.
If it's man-made, who made the space?
Are the natives of the Dead Song Forest?
Is it a spirit with a relatively developed tech tree?
No, no, no, they hate the underground.
Bears? Rabbit-eared people?
They don't seem to have that kind of technology.
Could it be the pig-headed clan?
No, that kind of stupid guy wouldn't do such a troublesome thing.
So, who built such a huge underground space in the heart of the Dead Song Forest?
Things are getting more and more interesting, and interest is being piqued.
Everyone looked around, walking along the rock wall to take a closer look.
Not only to discover the culprit of the mysterious sound, but also to stay away from the garbage heap directly below the cave.
The smell is so bad.
As we made a few distances, a voice came from overhead.
It should be what Isha is talking about.
But because the distance is a bit far, I can't hear clearly.
"It's Isa-sama, what is she talking about?"
"May Day? Thinking about taking a break in July? Worthy of Isha. ”
"Don't talk about these things at this time. The atmosphere is gone. ”
"Don't say that? Isn't that the style of your Demon King Army? I'm used to it. ”
"What, Mistress Tucker, as if we have a lot of freaks here."
"Whom should you be influenced by? You're really not aware of it at all. ”
Li Muran and his entourage were accustomed to a relaxed communication, and it was not surprising that they didn't take Isha's words seriously at all, and continued to explore.
A few more steps forward, Bella suddenly made a discovery.
"Li Muran, look. There's something weird on the wall. ”
When I looked at the wall, I found that there were ancient murals painted on the walls, as well as strange text notes.
This graphic, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere.
Come to think of it. It was seen on the stone that Isha picked up the last time the forest elf said that the cave entrance was haunted.
The pattern on the stone is the same as on the wall.
The stone gave the impression that it was part of a building.
