Chapter 228: The Danger of the Cave
Not long after Cao Xuan came back, he saw Chen Lu and his party continuing to move forward, but this time it was not a newcomer who led the team, but Sun Xiao, a stunned young man.
Everyone followed behind Sun Xiao and chose the fork in the road on the left.
Cao Xuan also followed behind his ass and continued to move forward.
The inside of the cave on the left is no different from the outside, still white and foggy.
The only difference is that the dirt under your feet is a little bit drier.
At this time, Cao Xuan suddenly reminded: "Everyone be careful, there must be something special here." ”
Wang Erzhuang smiled, he didn't seem to care, now that there are many people, he is holding a fluke mentality, thinking that he will not die on my head if he dies first.
After all, it was Chen Lu and them who were exploring the way ahead, and if there was any danger, the vanguard would definitely be affected first.
seemed to listen to Cao Xuan's reminder, Yue Ruxue followed behind Cao Xuan, her eyes kept looking around, wanting to be the first to find some clues.
Bai Xiao was in a row behind Cao Xuan, her face blocked by sunglasses, she looked casual, and the two women around her, one left and one right, didn't seem to be here to take risks at all, but to enjoy the mountains and rivers, with appreciation in her eyes.
Cao Xuan said again: "Do you think there is anything wrong? ”
Wang Erzhuang patted Cao Xuan's shoulder, "Don't be suspicious, Chen Lu and them in front of you, they are still safely and all moving forward, what can be wrong with us here?" ”
Yue Ruxue said: "It seems that something is wrong, it seems that the voice is quiet?" ”
From the moment he entered the fork in the road on the left, Cao Xuan felt that the sounds around him were becoming silent little by little.
With so many people moving forward together, the sound of footsteps is not deafening, but at least a lot of movement can be heard.
The inside of this cave was empty and claustrophobic, and there should have been the echo of stepping, but now, Cao Xuan couldn't hear it at all.
"Bai Xiao, have you found out?"
Bai Xiao nodded lightly and said, "There is something blocking the sound, there is something strange in it." ”
Cao Xuan saw that Bai Xiao also said the same, and his heart began to secretly become vigilant.
After going deeper for a while, the soil under his feet dried up more and more, and the cracks began to spread from the interface between the cave and the ground.
The white mist began to thin out, and the fluorescence emitted by the cave began to darken.
Cao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he found that the vanguard in front of him began to slow down, and the speed of walking became slower and slower.
"Chen Lu and the others also noticed the strangeness and began to gradually converge their speed."
"Danger may be coming, cheer up."
Cao Xuan continued to follow, and his pace slowed down, so a more strange scene happened.
All the sounds disappeared at the same moment, there was no movement, obviously everyone was moving, but there was no movement at all.
Similar to the extreme silence, if Cao Xuan hadn't seen someone in front of him and a companion next to him, he would even feel that he was the only one walking in this cave.
Cao Xuan stared vigilantly at the silent crowd in front of him, and at the same time asked, "Can you still hear the sound?" ”
After two seconds, the person next to him didn't seem to hear Cao Xuan's question, and the voice that didn't answer at all sounded.
So he turned his head to the side and found that Wang Erzhuang and Yue Ruxue were still walking, and with a solemn face and a straight look at the road ahead.
"The stuff in the cave shielded me
I'm afraid no one can hear them now. ”
At this moment, everything in the cave seems extremely weird, as if everyone is in the same environment and co-starred in a mime.
After taking a few steps forward, Cao Xuan felt that he couldn't go deeper, and something terrifying would definitely happen in the future.
He planned to stop everyone and everyone retreat together, according to Cao Xuan's idea, although his ears couldn't hear it, his hands could always touch it.
Cao Xuan stretched out his hand and patted Wang Erzhuang's shoulder nearby, but what he didn't expect was that his hand passed through the other party's body weakly, like slapping on a virtual projection, and he couldn't touch the entity at all.
"Gone?"
When Cao Xuan's hand swept over Wang Erzhuang's body for a few seconds, the white particles of the other party's body exploded with a bang, allowing Hou to fly in the air, like a firework that would not go off, shattering in silence.
Cao Xuan, who did not give up, touched all the bodies of everyone, and sure enough, the result was the same, a large white particle mixture floated in the air, wrapping Cao Xuan's whole person in the center, and gradually submerged his figure.
"Unknowingly separating us, there must be something hiding nearby."
Cao Xuan held the hilt of the Light Blade in his hand, and then ran forward with all his might.
"Let me see what the hell is going on."
The speeding figure crashed into the phantoms of Chen Lu and the others, and as they walked by, the white sword cut off the phantoms of everyone along the way, and Cao Xuan broke through from the vast white fireworks and continued to shuttle forward.
"Hidden in the shadows, now that your goal has been achieved, and I'm the only one here, it's time to show up."
No one answered Cao Xuan's roar, no matter how fast he was, the cave in front of him seemed to extend infinitely, and there was no end to it.
"Separate us, it should be to break them one by one, with the strength of Uncle Erzhuang and Ruxue, I don't know if I can escape the danger."
Worried about the situation of the people around him, Cao Xuan ran forward even more desperately, but all that was waiting for him was the long corridor that overlapped like a kaleidoscope, and he couldn't find the source at all.
At this time, Cao Xuan stopped, he realized that running like this was not a way, and the driving force behind all this was probably not going to attack him first.
"If the guy in the dark intends to start with the weakest, then Uncle Erzhuang and Ruxue should be safe now."
"Calm down first, there must be something that can break the current deadlock."
Turning around, Cao Xuan's footsteps began to step back.
"Since you can't run forward, try to go backwards."
This time, Cao Xuan did not run as he did before, but in the process of moving, he looked at the situation around the cave, and he felt that there must be something he missed on the way.
"Here!"
Cao Xuan found that the soil where he was standing now was drier than the usual ground, and the starting point of the rift was also from here where it had previously spread.
From the moment I walked into the fork on the left, except that the sound was getting quieter and quieter, that is, the material of the dirt floor was different.
Perhaps this is the key to breaking the game.
Observing along the cracks, Cao Xuan found that the front of the side, near the bottom of the stone wall of the cave, had all the origins of the cracks from here.
Putting his palm on the stone wall, the cold touch came from his hand, and he struck his fist a few times, and finally found the difference through the echo Cao Xuan.
"It's empty behind it, and there's a road behind the wall."
withdraw
After two steps, Cao Xuan held the knife in one hand and swung it towards the wall repeatedly, and in a white light with intertwined blades, the wall turned into countless fragments and collapsed, and in front of him, another white passage appeared.
Cao Xuan ran inside without hesitation, and after entering, he found that it was very similar to the scene outside the cave, the only difference was that the mud under his feet was no longer dry, and there were no cracks on the surface.
"The false scene has been seen through by me, and now, the main master should appear!"
After Cao Xuan went deep for a long time, the scene in front of him really changed, and on the side of the cave road, a stone door that he had never seen before appeared.
The double stone door was only closed, and the door frame was left and right, and the dry vine man hung on the edge, and before Cao Xuan could get closer, a strong fragrance wafted out through the crack in the door.
"It smells so fragrant, someone is cooking rice in Shimen?"
Cautiously approaching the door, Cao Xuan looked inside along the closed slit, the hot steam warmed his eyes. Wet, blocked by layers of heat waves, Cao Xuan couldn't see anything inside at all.
Rubbing his astringent eyes, Cao Xuan's expression was ruthless, since he didn't want me to see it, I simply rushed in, I want to see, can you stop me from breaking the door?
Cao Xuan calculated that at the beginning of the mission, it was impossible to jump out of something that he couldn't match, as if he was playing Super Mario alone, and as soon as the first level began, the Tyrannosaurus appeared to block it, which was obviously illogical.
After all, the source of all fear is due to lack of firepower.
And Cao Xuan felt that his current firepower was enough to deal with some bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
The palm of his hand pushed forward violently, and the stone door that didn't look firm didn't move at all, which couldn't help but surprise him a little.
"My base strength is 79 points, and counting the passive attribute blessing of the 'Seventh Night God's Killing Feast' in the dark, my strength is as high as 89 points."
"With all my might, even a boulder can be shaken by three points, but I can't open a door?"
This situation made Cao Xuan realize that the guy behind the stone gate was not something he could cook casually.
If in normal times, Cao Xuan can continue to walk on a different path, going against the wind is the next step, and avoiding danger is the right way in the mission world.
But now Wang Erzhuang and Yue Ruxue may be closed by the mysterious guy inside, in order to save his companions, so he can't leave.
Taking a deep breath, Cao Xuan grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashed towards the stone gate with all his strength.
Give me a !!
This knife had an effect, the stone door was shaken, and the surface was buzzing, but in the end it was not broken, which showed that Cao Xuan's strength was not enough!
"Come again!"
continued to send a powerful slash towards the stone gate, but what happened next made Cao Xuan a little incredulous.
The door was still shaking and buzzing, but much quieter than the last time.
"It's like it's a life, it can adapt to my strength from my attacks."
"It's a problem, for it, my attacks will slowly lose their effectiveness, and in the end, they won't even be able to shake it in the slightest."
Cao Xuan frowned, he was thinking about whether his method was wrong.
Perhaps the door is not open by brute force, but requires some prerequisites, such as a key, or some other mechanism hidden near the door?
Cao Xuan tried to grope around the door, but found nothing other than dust on his hand.
