Chapter Ninety-Eight: Black Mud
At the bottom of the gloomy strata chass, Shi Lan and Yelan's own investigation team leader came to the bottom of the pit in the main mining area.
It was a mess, the air was viscous and cold, there were many small insects glowing around, and there was a sound of banging in the darkness in the distance.
"Someone mining?" The leader of the investigation team was overjoyed, "It can't be those missing people, right!?" ”
"Impossible." Yelan shook her head directly: "The Stratum Chasm is extremely dangerous, even if the missing person is irrational, it is impossible for him to have the leisure to mine here at this time......"
"It's the Treasure Hoarders." Shi Lan saw several members of the Treasure Hoarders who were busy mining in the distance.
The leader of the investigation team was dumbfounded: "But, how did they come down?" ”
Yelan shook her head: "There is a thief hole, so naturally there will be a second one." It's useless to pursue this now, let them dig it, anyway, none of them can run away afterwards. ”
She was pressed for time, and there was no need to dwell on the Treasure Hoarders.
But Shi Lan didn't think so.
I saw him clench his fists and leap out from behind the stones.
Yelan only felt a big head for a while: "Shi Lan! You give me back! ”
"The soldiers are not trying to get rid of those monsters, but they don't want you to steal mines!"
Shi Lan's Tong Kong was clouded with a haze, and the anger in his heart could not be controlled.
"Huh? Where did the little ones come from? ”
The members of the Treasure Hoarders who were stealing the mines were so frightened that they almost soaked their pants.
A child suddenly appeared at the bottom of the dark mine, and no one would think it was normal!
He gently twisted a stone on his toes, which was held in Shi Lan's hand, and then thrown out by him.
A small stone pierced the air and smashed a person's head with precision, and with a "snap", a member of the Treasure Hoarders suddenly broke his head and fell to the ground screaming.
The faces of the rest of the Treasure Hoarders changed greatly, and they didn't have time to think about whether Shi Lan was a human or a ghost, so they rushed over with an iron pickaxe and hoe.
"I'm super! Brothers, copy guys! ”
Although Shi Lan is small, he is not an easy person to deal with, after all, he has faced people like Jiang Sheng, and now he is naturally able to clean up a few treasure hoarders.
"Ahh Stop it! ”
"Young man spare his life!"
"Uh, it hurts me!"
Several members of the Treasure Hoarders begged for mercy.
The leader of the investigation team looked at Shi Lan worriedly, "This kid is so ruthless... This man was thrown out by him..."
"Something is wrong with him."
Yelan didn't have time to say more, her graceful posture instantly turned into a molded lake, and the eyes of the water god emitted dreamlike ripples, casting a layer of waves on Yelan.
Yelan's figure quickly joined the battlefield, there was a blue silk thread in her hand, she passed by everyone, and the blue string would automatically wrap around the target, binding him tightly in place.
In just the blink of an eye, everyone present was tied up by Yelan, including Shi Lan.
Shi Lan looked like she had just woken up from a dream at this time, and the turbid aura in her eyes quietly dissipated.
He struggled twice, and found that his strength couldn't break free from the string at all, and looked at Yelan helplessly: "Sister Lan, what is this?" ”
"Hey, now you know to call me Sister Lan." Yelan crossed her waist and looked at him condescendingly: "Didn't you just call Yelan very remarkable?" ”
"Uh......" Shi Lan felt a little headache.
In fact, from the moment he went down to the mine, he felt that there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
Affected by this aura, my thinking is a little confused, and there is always an inexplicable emotion blocked in my chest, which cannot be dispersed for a long time.
In fact, he didn't know why he went up to beat people just now.
That is, he was awakened by Yelan's Divine Eye Water Element, otherwise no one knows what he would do.
Here Shi Lan was tightly tied, honestly doubting life. Yelan also used this to interrogate the Treasure Hoarders, asking them if they had noticed the missing people.
The result was obvious, they didn't see anything.
"It looks like we have to go deeper."
Yelan pulled the rope and snorted at Shi Lan: "I won't let you go, you kid hasn't been normal since he entered here......
Shi Lan hurriedly got up from the ground and chased Yelan up and down: "Don't, Sister Lan!" It's hard for me to be tied up like this! ”
From the main mining area down, there are two roads, one branch to the underground water and the other to the stone hall of the Qi District.
The tunnels along the road collapsed in many places, but fortunately they did not block the main passage.
There were many purple unknown flowers in the tunnel, and Shi Lan thought that it might be some kind of medicinal herb, but his hands were tied, and he couldn't pick them if he wanted to.
What's even more outrageous is that the leader of the investigation team has been looking at him with a very envious look, as if he feels that being tied up by Yelan is an undesirable honor.
The three of them walked through the tunnel together, and the stone hall in the rugged area was finally revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
Broken plank paths, crumbling rock pillars.
Huge stone pillars with sharp edges are inserted diagonally into the ground, and there are many of them, in a spiral shape, with uniform thickness, all over the stone hall.
That's why it's called the "Stone Hall".
This appearance is somewhat similar to the Guyun Pavilion, and it is said that the Emperor of the Rock King fought Ruotuo here, and it is hard not to believe that this is not a trace of the emperor's shot.
In addition, the entire stone hall was covered with dark red mud, as if it was alive, trembling and squirming, very disgusting.
The surrounding light is absorbed by the black mud, and the visibility is not even five meters. The darkness here is even more than the main mine above.
"This is it!"
The leader of the investigation team was elated, took out a photograph, and hurriedly ran over, intending to get closer and take a closer look.
"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
"Be careful."
Yelan frowned, instinctively making her feel that this kind of thing must not be approached easily.
"The black mud that filled the lower mining area disappeared unexpectedly after the earthquake, but I didn't expect to retreat here......
He was holding a camera and was about to take a closer look.
"What is this?"
He craned his neck, trying to look more closely.
It was not clear to see the situation around the dim surroundings, only the faint glowing pith lamp flickered.
Lifting the lamp, he moved closer, only to see a human face slowly revealing in the wriggling black mud......
"Uhhhh
”
A scream suddenly came from the quiet suffocating underground space, which made Yelan and Shi Lan scold at the same time.
Yelan frowned: "Squad leader? How are you! ”
There was no response ahead, just the sound of those disgusting slime wriggling.
"Shi Lan! Tracer sticks! ”
Shi Lan struggled weakly for a moment and shrugged her shoulders: "Eldest sister, you let go of me first!" ”
"Hurry up!"
Yelan finally let go of Shi Lan, and Shi Lan hurriedly rummaged through the cloth pocket to find the tracer stick.
"Here you go!"
Yelan took the tracer stick and threw out three in succession.
The three tracer sticks keep the same whistling in front and back, illuminating all along the road.
At the end of the light, a hand reached out from the black mud, pinching the captain's face.
The surrounding black mud squirmed violently, as if excited, and contracted towards Shi Lan and Yelan.
