Chapter 17 Someone Followed

After hanging the searchlight over the stone wall, all that remained was the light of the giant searchlight, except for the small lamppost above everyone's heads.

"Everyone, watch your step, and settle down when you're steady!"

Emperor Xing let out a loud shout, and the thirty people on the same platform began to circle down the corridor.

At the beginning, everything was normal, the depth here was only more than 20 meters, not deep, not shallow, and there was no abnormal phenomenon.

The appearance of this situation made everyone's hearts relax a little, if there was only turbidity nine yin in this giant cave, then they moved lightly, maybe it was only a matter of time before they found the entrance to the underworld.

However, when they descended to more than forty meters, Di Xing suddenly patted Zhou An on the shoulder, which made Zhang Chuxue and Sun Xiang, who were walking between the two, startled, and thought that something suddenly stretched out.

"Can you make some noise?"

"That's it, the soul is going to be scared out of you!!"

The two patted their chests and complained, it was already dark here, and in addition to the things in front of them, they could see other things clearly.

But Di Xing didn't have time to explain anything to them, he just pointed his finger at Zhou An all the time.

Looking in the direction pointed by Emperor Xing, Zhou An found that the giant searchlight that turned out to be hanging by Emperor Xing didn't know when it went out, and the range of the searchlight was more than 60 meters.

In addition, they had been carefully watching the road under their feet, and for a moment no one noticed that the searchlight had been extinguished.

"Maybe you didn't nail it properly and fell into the hallway."

Zhou An waved his hand, just a searchlight, no need to make such a fuss, but what Emperor Xing wanted to say was obviously not a searchlight, and he was still pointing at it with his fingers.

"My lord, the entrance to the cave!"

Emperor Xing said softly.

Hole?

Zhou An looked up, and then saw that the entrance of the cave that should have been pitch black was now as if there was a round plate placed there, and the distance of forty meters should have been a big hole, but now it looked like it was only about the size of a vegetable plate.

But that's not the point, the point is that the planks that cover the entrance of the cave are opened, and the red lamas who remain on it certainly don't do such a thing, someone other than them must have broken the planks and followed them, if nothing else.

"My lord, I don't know when the hole was opened, or how many people came down."

Now in this situation, they are in the light, and those in the back are in the dark, the only thing that makes Zhou An curious is that the people in the back have destroyed the searchlight, and they have no lighting tools, so how did they get down, aren't they afraid of stepping on the empty foot and falling down?

The position of Zhou An's four people is considered to be a relatively middle position among the thirty people, the Pei family and the Xun family are in their respective teams, and they did not walk with Zhou An and them.

"Look ahead!"

Zhou An nodded to the three emperors, and motioned for them to look at the big pillar in front of them, which was one of the few thick wooden buildings.

As the team moved forward, the searchlights above and the situation at the entrance of the cave, the four of them did not inform everyone, so as not to cause any commotion, and let those in the dark realize that they had been discovered.

When he walked to the corner of the big pillar, Zhou An stretched out his hand to close the small lamppost above his head, and when the emperor Zhang Chuxue and the three of them saw Zhou An's appearance, they immediately walked to the big pillar and turned off the small lamppost above their heads.

Their small lamppost illuminated a limited range, and the four of them were clinging to the stone wall, and they would not be discovered by people from afar.

Seeing the actions of the four of them, the people in the group who were behind them were a little puzzled, why did they suddenly stop when they were walking well.

Zhou An can only not get tired

His annoying explanation said that Zhang Chuxue and the others wanted to go to the toilet, so they had to go to the end.

Everyone also expressed understanding, and no one was paying attention to the four of them, just asking them to follow quickly.

Soon, the long line all passed through the hiding place of Zhou An and the four of them, and it became dark here, looking at the small lampposts in front of them and continuing to go down.

Twenty meters away, in this situation of poor vision, Zhou An and the four didn't know how long they would walk, anyway, Pei Buwen had already continued to walk a long way down, and they still didn't see anyone coming up.

Could it be that they guessed wrong, that piece of wood was opened by the cardinal lama?

At this moment, not far from the position where the four people were standing, a slight creaking sound came into their ears, and the four of them were shocked, it was the people who followed behind who followed, and the sound was the sound they made when they stepped on the corridor!

All four of them were holding their breath now, trying not to make the slightest noise to prevent them from being noticed.

In the dark, although those who came in behind them couldn't notice Zhou An and the four of them, Zhou An and the others could feel one person after another walking in front of them, and counting carefully, there were more than 20 people in this group.

Everyone's breathing sound was very calm and even, and it was not difficult to guess that these twenty or so people were also very capable people.

After no one passed, the four of them still didn't move, and the distance they walked wasn't too far, so they had to wait until they were far away.

But at this moment, Zhang Chuxue and Sun Xiang, who were sticking to the stone wall, suddenly opened their eyes.

Above the top of their heads, something slender touched their hair, and it was still wet, as if water was dripping on the top of their heads.

Holding back the fear in their hearts, the two did not move, until they heard Zhou An's voice, Zhang Chuxue gently patted the back of Zhou An's hand.
