Chapter 221: Into the Underground
Now that Xiaobai is so close, Xiaobai doesn't feel the danger, which means that the black-faced people below can't pose a threat to himself.
Just as Wu Xie was thinking about this, Wu Xie next to him probably got his assurance, so he took a few steps forward.
And it was just a few steps that Wu Xie was lucky to encounter the hanging hole in Wang Kaixuan's mouth.
"Hey!"
With Wu Xie's exclamation, a cave that could accommodate one person in and out instantly appeared under his feet, and the soft soil next to him sank into the ground in the blink of an eye, followed by Wu Xie's two calves.
Fortunately, Wang Kaixuan had the experience of coming here, and had been secretly vigilant about the surrounding situation, and as soon as Wu Xie's voice sounded, he grabbed Wu Xie's sinking body and relied on his arm strength to stop his downward trend.
Of course, this is also because the bottom is completely hollow, not like quicksand, so the suction power at the bottom is not very strong.
Wu Ze also took a step forward at this time, grabbed Wu Xie's arm on the other side, and dragged Wu Xie out of the hanging hole with Wang Kaixuan.
In fact, it didn't take much effort for Wu Ze to pull Wu Xie out alone, but since Wang Kaixuan pulled the other side, he didn't say much, just helped pull Wu Xie up.
"It's okay, naΓ―ve." Wang Kaixuan pulled Wu Xie out of the distance in one breath, and didn't stop until he was completely away from the area just now.
"It's fine." Wu Xie gasped violently, and then waved his hand.
He wasn't hurt just now, but he was suddenly a little frightened.
Wu Ze remained in place, looking inside the hanging hole at this time, but there was nothing in the hole.
Wang Kaixuan noticed Wu Ze's movements, so he asked, "Wu Ze, is there something in it?" β
He also thought that there was a human face inside, so Wu Ze would look there.
"Nope!" Wu Ze responded, he was just wondering if he wanted to go down from here.
After all, the purpose of their coming down this time was not the tomb under the fishbone temple, but the tomb guarding beast that had already spread its branches - the human-faced black-cheeked man!
So now from this hanging hole, it is very likely that you will directly find the location of the nest of the human-faced black chopper.
Thinking like this, Wu Ze told Wang Kaixuan and Wu Xie his thoughts.
After listening to the two and thinking for a while, Wang Kaixuan took the lead and said: "This is okay, but this underground passage is complicated, and there must be a way to find their lair, otherwise we will be finished if we get lost inside." β
Wu Xie also nodded: "Yes, although we bring a lot of food and water, if we can't get out of it, no matter how much supplies we have, we will run out one day." β
"This is a problem that cannot be ignored." Wu Ze nodded thoughtfully, his Xiaobai could predict the danger in advance, but he couldn't use it to show the way.
Especially now that there is no danger to me, I can't use a sense of threat to lead the way.
"Actually, ......" At this moment, Wang Kaixuan touched his chin and said, "It's not impossible." β
"What can you do?" Wu Xie asked puzzled.
"For this incident, I prepared a secret weapon in advance." After speaking, Wang Kaixuan picked up his backpack and grabbed a fat rabbit from it.
"This is your secret weapon?" Wu Xie looked at the rabbit and asked.
He knew that the last time Wang Kaixuan and the others went in, they encountered the ghost mound, and they only escaped by slaughtering a goose they carried, and now when they saw this rabbit, the first thing they thought of was this.
But Wu Ze wondered, can this rabbit work?
As if he had seen Wu Ze's thoughts, Wang Kaixuan explained: "This is not a sacrifice, but a bait that I plan to use to catch spiders. β
After speaking, Wang Kaixuan brought the rabbit in his hand to Wu Ze and motioned him to look at the inside of the rabbit's ears.
Wu Ze looked over and saw that there was a button-sized thing on the inside of the rabbit's ears, which was flashing at this time.
"Locator?"
Wu Xie recognized this thing and understood Wang Kaixuan's plan.
"Fatty, you're trying to use this thing to locate the Human-faced Worm's nest?"
"Yes, otherwise, even if we go in from the Fishbone Temple, we may not be able to find the nest of these spiders."
He couldn't remember how to go underground, they were just running around all the time, so he had thought of this before.
"Then let's go down from here, there's no need to go to the Fishbone Temple again."
Now that Wang Kaixuan was ready, Wu Zedang decided to enter the underground through the entrance that Wu Xie guessed.
Wang Kaixuan and Wu Xie also have no opinion on Wu Ze's suggestion, or that after this period of getting along, they have gradually become accustomed to Wu Ze taking the idea.
Because it was not clear how deep the hanging hole was, the three of them did not jump down directly, but chose one of them to tie the climbing rope to explore the path first, and the other two waited for the signal of the person who explored the path before going down.
"The fat master will go down to explore the way for you first!"
After making a decision, Wang Kaixuan immediately picked up the climbing rope and tied it to his waist.
However, before his hand touched his waist, the mountaineering rope had already been taken by Wu Ze, Wu Ze wrapped the rope around his waist, and said: "I'll come this time, you see that your body shape is hard to turn around, or I'll go down." β
Wang Kaixuan knew that Wu Ze was more capable of self-protection than himself, and he didn't argue anything, and his body size was also a fact.
Wu Ze and Wu Xie still felt that the hole was wide, and it seemed a little narrow when he went down, which was a fact that could not be refuted.
As for the third person present, the two didn't even think about it.
If you want to say which of the three people has the weakest ability to respond to sudden crises, then Wu Xie is definitely the first deservedly.
It's not so much that it's the weakest, it's better to say that Wu Xie has enough ability to protect himself at all.
Wu Xie himself was very aware of this, so he was very self-aware and did not get involved in this topic.
Following the climbing rope, Wu Ze slowly descended the hanging hole that Wu Xie stepped on, but this hole was much shallower than they imagined, and within a few minutes, Wu Ze had already come to the bottom of the cave.
turned on the flashlight and shone it around, and what appeared in front of Wu Ze was a small space of about two square meters, and each of the three directions of the small space had a corridor of the same size as the hanging hole when he came down just now.
After looking at the three corridors with the help of the light of the flashlight, Wu Ze did not continue to act, and began to send a safety signal to the top as he had said before.
Soon, Wang Kaixuan and Wu Xie also went down to the bottom of the cave from above.
"Good boy!" Wang Kaixuan saw the three roads in front of him, bared his teeth and said, "How should I go now?" β
They had expected this to happen, but they didn't expect to encounter it in the first place.
"Where next?" After looking at them one by one, Wang Kaixuan once again kicked the choice to Wu Ze.
"Wu Xie, do you have any opinions?" Wu Ze did not make a rash decision, but looked at Wu Xie who silently observed after looking down, and did not make a sound.
Wu Xie heard Wu Ze ask himself, stood up from one of the holes, and shook his head at him: "These three corridors have traces of dragging, so there is no way to analyze anything from this aspect. β
"Then let's choose any one, anyway, I can't see anything now, it's better to talk about it later."
Wu Ze thought about it and made this decision, no matter what, they were going to go in, and now since they were looking for clues outside that they kept wanting, they had to go inside to find them.
"Then this one, the Fishbone Temple also happens to be in this direction." Wang Kaixuan discerned the direction and pointed to one of the holes.
Wu Ze nodded: "Then this, I'm in the front, Wu Xie is in the middle, and the fat man is behind you." β
Wu Ze also felt that those human face beetles would not deliberately dig around, but more often they would dig straight up, so since this road leads to the direction of the Fishbone Temple, it is very likely to lead to the bottom of the Fishbone Temple.
"Wait, I'll take out the guy thing first!"
Just as Wu Ze was about to go in, Wang Kaixuan suddenly stopped him, and then took out three submachine guns and several magazines from his backpack and handed them to Wu Ze and Wu Xie respectively.
Wu Xie looked at the submachine gun in his hand and asked him in surprise, "Where did you get this kind of thing?" β
This is not a pistol in the Qinling Mountains, if there are people who have access to the mainland, they can still get a pistol, but this submachine gun is not a matter of inability.
"Hey, the fat man has also gone down a lot of graves over the years, and it's not normal to have a little inventory."
"I'll tell you."
Wu Xie heard him say this, and carefully looked at the gun in his hand before he suddenly realized.
Although the gun looked new, it was because it was well preserved, it was actually a model from many years ago, and if he didn't expect, it should have been made by the fat man in some abandoned military base.
Wu Ze looked at the gun thoughtfully: "Chicago typewriter? β
He doesn't know the gun, but he can recognize it because he has a memory of the gun in his mind, if he didn't guess wrong, the gun was found in Yunnan, and it's been some years since now.
Wang Kaixuan heard Wu Ze say this, and immediately laughed: "Hehe, I knew you could recognize it, this is the batch over there in Worm Valley, I took out a few handfuls when I left, this is a good thing for the fat man to press the bottom of the box." β
Well, the fat man who doesn't slip in the fall.
This answer is fat.
If Wang Kaixuan said that he ran back to get it afterwards, then Wu Ze would never believe it, even though the tomb of the king on the other side of the worm valley has been destroyed, but Wu Ze has never planned to go there, the danger there is not a little bit, and those poisonous insect miasma is just his weakness.
"Then you hid things in Gulan County?" Wu Xie leaned over with some curiosity and asked.
Although he only knew a little about the conversation between Wu Ze and Wang Kaixuan, this did not prevent him from hearing that these things were obtained by the fat man many years ago.
And thinking that they had been together all the way after they came out of Qinling, Wang Kaixuan had only acted alone after arriving in Gulan County, so it was natural to think that he had hidden things in Gulan County.
After all, this place is remote enough, and if it is really buried somewhere, it is really difficult for people to find out.
"What do you think!" However, as soon as his words came out, he was refuted by Wang Kaixuan: "If it weren't for knowing Wu Ze, the fat man would never have planned to come to this place again in his life." β
That was what he had to say, and since he had retired from his two companions, he had seldom visited the places he had visited.
"You said that you, the third master of the Wu family, don't know that this kind of thing has to be stored in the eleventh warehouse, and there is no safer place than that." After speaking, he explained: "When the fat man went out that day, he went to get the express delivery from the eleventh warehouse. β
"Eleventh warehouse? Can you still store this kind of thing? Wu Xie's mouth was wide open, he knew the existence of the Eleventh Cang, after all, this was an organization under the jurisdiction of his second uncle, but he didn't know that the Eleventh Cang still received this kind of thing.
It's not an antique!
"Don't you think those things in the Eleventh Warehouse are dangerous?" Wang Kaixuan looked at Wu Xie like this, he didn't know what he was thinking, and asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Wu Xie was a little speechless.
Indeed, although there are many non-illegal things in the eleventh warehouse, there are more unsightly goods.
"Little naΓ―ve, your Wu family is not as simple as you think."
Wang Kaixuan patted Wu Xie on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Although he hadn't had much contact with the Eleventh Warehouse, he had also heard of the most famous tricks in the Eleventh Warehouse, and he might have thought it was something strange before, but now that he knew another world, Wang Kaixuan felt that those tricks might not be an exaggeration.
"Okay, we're leaving, you two have time to talk about those things when you go back."
Wu Ze spoke up to stop this topic, it was too early for Wu Xie to contact the eleventh warehouse.
Of course, he was afraid that Wang Kaixuan, the fat man, would be cleaned up by Wu Erbai.
Wang Kaixuan spread his hands helplessly at Wu Xie, and pushed Wu Xie, who still wanted to say something, into the corridor.
The three of them entered the corridor one after another according to their assigned positions, and began to slowly advance towards the depths.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the three of them encountered a fork in the road again, but this time there were only two choices, and it didn't seem to be too far off.
Wu Ze glanced at the two new roads in front of him, turned his head to Wu Xie and whispered, "Let the fat man give me two rabbits." β
Wu Xie understood what Wu Ze wanted to do, and quickly handed him the two rabbits that were constantly struggling.
Wu Ze took the rabbit handed by Wu Xie, and threw it into the two corridors in front of him with his ears, and then blocked the two corridors to avoid the rabbit from being unable to distinguish the direction after landing, and ran back along the original road again.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes and not seeing the two rabbits come out, Wu Ze said to Wang Kaixuan: "Fatty, it's up to you next." β
"Gotcha!"
Wang Kaixuan answered, holding the signal receiver that had already been taken out in his hand, and began to look seriously at the light points representing the two rabbits on it.
Wu Ze and Wu Xie sat down with their backs against the Yongdao wall, waiting for Wang Kaixuan's feedback, so that they could decide which direction to go next.
"Wu Ze, why didn't you choose to let the rabbit explore the way just now?" Wu Xie took a sip of water and asked with some curiosity.
"It's useless, it's still far away, and the rabbit may run somewhere." After saying that, he drew two dots on the ground, and then dotted in the middle: "Now that we are very close to the Fishbone Temple, it is not useless to release the rabbits." β
