Chapter 58, Baizhang Pit, Stone Cave
There are two rows of little demons guarding both sides of the stone gate, these little demons have long horns, whether they have long horns, there are sharp beaks, and there are long mouths, and the weapons in their hands are also different. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
These monsters have just entered the underground realm, and the inside of the stone gate should be the place where the "burning river" goes, and it is a stone cave, and it is a little demon, it seems that there is nothing else in the underground world except these, it is really boring, Yao Chongzhong not only frowned, if he didn't listen to it, he really didn't want to go again.
The guards guarding the door saw that the one-horned king had arrived, and pressed the mechanism to open the door, and with a loud "rattle" sound, the stone door opened, revealing a huge stone cave, and a strong wind blew out, bringing up billowing dust and smoke.
After the dust and smoke passed, the inside of the stone cave emitted light, and it looked like it was brightly lit inside, could it be a "burning river" inside? Yao Chongzhong was a little impatient.
The scene inside was much more than Yao Chongzhong expected, and his feeling of excitement quickly disappeared, replaced by a very strange feeling, because it was not a "burning river", but a huge and incomparably deep pit.
There are many lamps of several feet around the pit, and the light that you can see outside the cave is from these lamps, and there is a huge stone pillar in the middle of the pit, and there seems to be a door on the stone pillar.
Yao Chongzhong has been thinking about the feeling in his heart, this feeling, like the feeling of standing at the entrance of the Demon Domain, appeared a long, long time ago, when did it appear, it may be the reason for the long time, he doesn't remember it very clearly.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Black Loach didn't have a special feeling in their hearts, the only special thing was that this pit was very deep and big, and the stone pillar was a bit like the Xuantian Sword that they had seen before.
Seeing Yao Chongzhong's expression, the One-Horned King said triumphantly: "Golden Armor Guard, the huge pit in front of you is the passage for us to go down to the 'Burning River', how about it, can it still enter your magic eyes?"
Yao Chongzhong pointed to the huge stone pillar and said, "One-horned monster, there is no bridge leading there, how can we go there, fly over? Or jump directly from here." ”
The one-horned king was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a gap and said, "We don't go there, there is no road there, and we don't have to jump down; if we jump from here, we will die when we get below, and there is a way to go there on the wall of the pit, and there is the way to go down." ”
Yao Chongzhong was just looking at the stone pillar in front of him, and he didn't notice that there was a road on the pit wall; after the one-horned king's guidance, he noticed that there was really a downward path on the pit wall, and the path seemed to be less than three feet wide, and two or three people would feel crowded when they walked together.
Since there is a road on the stone wall, what is that stone pillar used for? Besides, there is a stone gate on it, it can't be born there for no reason, Yao Chongzhong decided to understand the ins and outs of these things.
He asked the question in his mind, "One-horned monster, what is this huge stone pillar for, and where does that door lead?"
The One-Horned King said: "This stone pillar is useless, it was born here, and the door you said is not actually a door, it just looks like it." If you want to reach the 'burning river', you still need the right path on the stone wall. ”
Yao Chongzhong saw that it was insincere, and did not tell the truth, knowing that even if it asked again, it would not say, so he could only find a way to trap its words, so he turned to say: "One-horned demon, such a big pit, it will take you a lot of time and energy, right? ”
The One-Horned King was not fooled, and said, "As I said, we did not dig this pit, but we had it before we came, and the same is true of the stone pillar, and the path on the wall of the pit was repaired by us." ”
Yao Chongzhong suddenly had such an idea in his mind, will this stone pillar be like his own axe, can be long or short, big or small?
He decided not to ask about the stone pillar for the time being, and to take a closer look at it later, because he had found another strange sight, that is, there were many stone caves in the walls of the pit, which continued down the path.
When Yao Chongzhong walked to the stone caves on the wall of the pit, he found that these stone caves were not small, they were many feet high, and these stone caves were somewhat similar to the stone caves where the monarchs of the Sand Worm Kingdom lived.
Could these caves also be used for habitation? Yao Chongzhong decided to go in and have a look, he only cared about the stone caves, and when he entered, he didn't say anything to the others, and he went in without saying a word.
The one-horned king hurriedly told the little monster to stop, walked to the front in front, retreated outside and behind behind, and took out his weapons and made a defensive posture.
It didn't take long for Yao Chongzhong to come out of the stone cave, and when he came out, he saw the one-horned king and the little monster holding all the weapons in their hands, and he was shocked in his heart.
Yao Chongzhong didn't show it on the surface, he took out the Ruyi Thunder Axe unhurriedly, and said coldly: "What's the matter, one-horned monster, you want to solve us here, don't you go to the 'burning river'?"
The one-horned king's eyes rolled, and he called the little demons to collect their weapons, and said with a haha: "Golden armor guard, where are you talking about this, we are not your opponent in the camp above, and even less in this kind of place; what happened just now is just a misunderstanding, you saw us use knives and guns, thinking that we were going to make trouble for you, you suddenly hid in the stone cave so quietly, we thought you were going to find trouble for us; you quickly put away the axe, and it is not good for one to accidentally hurt my brother." ”
Yao Chongzhong heard the unicorn guard say this, maybe he really misunderstood them, so he put the axe away, and it was at this time that he thought of something that must be solved before he reached the "burning river".
Yao Chongzhong asked, "One-horned monster, let me ask you, this stone cave looks like you dug it out, right?
The One-Horned King said, "You are right, we dug out these caves, which used to be the places we used to live, but then we found a better place below, and these caves were abandoned. ”
Yao Chongzhong heard that it was used for living, so he didn't say anything more, because he had seen a cave used to live in the Sand Worm Kingdom, and the monsters also lived in the stone cave when they arrived here, which was a normal thing.
After Yao Chongzhong circled along the deep pit, he felt that something was wrong, these stone caves did not look like they had been abandoned for a long time, nor did they look like they were used for habitation, so he decided to enter another cave to have a look.
He then stopped and said, "One-horned monster, I will say hello to you in advance, and I will go into the stone cave again to have a look, because I think you have done a better job in this stone cave than others." ”
The one-horned king didn't believe what Yao Chongzhong said, but he didn't know the real purpose of his entry, and he couldn't stop him, he was afraid that the more he blocked, the more Yao Chongzhong would want to go in;
Yao Chongzhong walked into the stone cave, the first time he entered the cave, he just looked at the general appearance of the cave, this time he entered the cave he wanted to take a closer look, so he took out the Ruyi Thunder Axe.
The light released by the Ruyi Thunder Axe illuminated the entire stone cave, and the one-horned king who was waiting outside the stone cave saw the light of Huang Cancan, and felt very curious, Yao Chong focused on what the lamp was looking for.
The one-horned king is suspicious and cunning by nature, it saw Yao Chongzhong enter the stone cave, and always thought that he deliberately went in to make an ambush, so he hid farther away, and now he saw the light in the stone cave, he was so curious, he sneaked to the door of the stone cave, wanting to see what was going on.
Jiang Xiaoyu saw the one-horned king holding a sledgehammer and the rat-headed rat brain slipped to the door of the stone cave, thinking that he was going to be unfavorable to Yao Chongzhong, so he shouted loudly: "Brother Yao, the one-horned monster is coming to harm you, you have to be careful." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's scream, the voice was too loud, it was really a stone breaking shock, and countless shouts echoed in the pit, not only startling the people around him, but even the one-horned monster who walked to the door of the stone cave turned his head in a panic, and said in a loud voice: "No, I just want to see what the Golden Armor Guardian is doing inside." ”
Yao Chongzhong said in the cave: "One-horned monster, come in if you want to come in, this is your place, why do you stand at the door like a big girl." ”
The one-horned king didn't dare to go in, and said, "I won't go in, I'll just look at it outside, you are busy with yours, don't worry about me." ”
When it saw the golden Ruyi Thunder Axe, its eyes were straight, this is a good baby, and then it looked at its hammer, it was simply a ball of scrap copper and rotten iron, and it wanted to fall under the pit.
Yao Chongzhong looked at every inch of the stone cave in the stone cave, and determined that this stone cave was not used for habitation, and he did not see that there were traces of the stone cave wall being blackened by the lights, which was the first suspicious point; there were so many lights on the pit, which showed that the monsters still had to rely on the lights to live, and none of the stone caves were blackened, so it was unreasonable.
The second suspicious point, there is a row of circular and square grooves under the innermost wall of the stone cave, these grooves are processed and polished, according to Yao Chongzhong's experience, it should be used to place knives and guns and other weapons, what do you want these things for in the living room?
The third suspicious point, although the stone cave can accommodate two or three monster activities, but there is no stone slab or stone platform that can provide rest, do monsters never rest? Even if they are moved, there should be traces, but even if Yao Chongzhong searched for it, he did not find such traces.
The more Yao Chongzhong thought about it, the more suspicious these stone caves became, and he decided to go into a stone cave every time he turned around the pit wall to see if the layout in these stone caves was the same.
The path on the wall of the pit was originally very narrow and could not be walked too fast, and coupled with the delay of Yao Chongzhong to check the stone cave, the journey from the top to the bottom took them almost an hour.
Yao Chongzhong walked all the way down, remembering the number along the way, there are a total of one hundred and one turns in the pit, the height of each turn is about two zhang, and the deep pit is more than two hundred zhang high.
He inspected a total of one hundred and two stone caves, and the layout in these stone caves was exactly the same, and the black-hearted king's subordinates were thousands, how could they all have the same living habits, and they were all the same height and size?
