Chapter 731: The Car
A squad of black warriors consisted of six people, a squad leader, five subordinates, apparently well-trained. These guys looked cold as if they were machines, and there were six black warriors that Chen Xi fought on the way, and the leader of them had a few words of conversation with him, but these six black warriors followed Chen Xi like that, without saying a word. These guys are all about the same size, wearing full-coverage black armor, except for the black iron helmet of the team leader, which is the leader of the group, which has a red maple leaf-like badge on it, they can't tell who is who at all.
Chen Xi kept trying to get the leading guy to speak, but after trying for a long time, he found that it was in vain.
After leaving the coolie camp, it was a very smooth road, narrower than the wide avenue of the demigod world, and it was not difficult for twenty people to walk side by side. Chen Xi speculated that this width was just enough for vehicles like the rhinoceros beast cart to enter and exit freely. If it is just an expedition, there is no need to open the cave so big, the black gold is so hard, and digging such a large cave is obviously a very huge project, so it is very likely that the things brought out of it should not be small.
As he walked, Chen Xi thought about the death row prisoners in the coolie camp, where the death rate was 100 percent, and according to what he had heard, half of them died in the treacherous environment, and half died of murder. But the moment Chen Xi saw the cave, he suddenly understood that even these death row prisoners would not die in a treacherous environment, would not be murdered, and would all be executed.
Thinking of the unhappy expression on Su Buding's face, Chen Xi realized that the warden of the coolie battalion was not a stable position, and if he was not careful, he would be executed at the same time as those death row inmates. What can be dug out of the Black Gold Mountain, and what needs to be killed and extinguished?
However, since Su Buding and Feili both allowed Chen Xi to go in and take a look, it means that Chen Xi can no longer see and cannot guess what the dug up is. After arriving at the entrance of the cave, the group of black warriors made a gesture, and the two black warriors quickly drew their light knives and walked to the front. The group rate and another black warrior were on Chen Xi's sides, and the remaining two were guarding Chen Xi's side.
Of course, this is a very stable defensive formation, and no matter what danger the black warrior encounters, he can react immediately. But of course, this is also a very safe killing formation, once Chen Xi makes something that he shouldn't do, the six black warriors can attack him at the same time.
The cave is as wide as the road, more than ten meters wide and not less than ten meters high. For a normal person's size, a three-story cave is already spectacular. On both sides of the cave walls hung lamps made of a special stone, so bright that the shadows of the seven people seemed very faint. The brightness of this kind of thing is so strong that it can even stab your eyes if you stare at it.
But even so, as soon as I entered the cave, that feeling of depression occupied the whole heart. It seemed that the cave leading to the interior of the Black Gold Mountain was the throat of some huge beast, and Chen Xi and the others were walking step by step towards the belly of this huge beast.
"Why doesn't anyone dig it?"
Chen Xi asked again, but none of the six black warriors answered him.
Chen Xi couldn't get an answer, so he could only think by himself, and after thinking carefully for a while, Chen Xi suddenly reacted No wonder Su Buding and Feili allowed him to enter the cave, if nothing else, this should be an abandoned cave, that is to say, the excavation work is basically done. It may not be long before this coolie camp will be opened and moved to another place to continue exploring.
The road under his feet was not very smooth, and he stepped on tiny pieces of black gold, making a clattering sound. The further you go inside, the clearer this sound becomes, and every step makes people involuntarily nervous. Chen Xi glanced back, and the entrance to the cave had become very small, which meant that the distance to the entrance was already very far, and if he walked again, the entrance of the cave would disappear.
The entrance to such a large cave has become blurred, indicating that the distance into the interior of the cave is at least several thousand meters. There were already smooth stone walls all around, and glare lights hung from them, but nothing else. Maybe if you keep going like this, you won't be able to find anything that catches the eye. Chen Xi's patience is also gradually disappearing, and there is no need to continue to go deeper if there is nothing to be seen here.
Thinking about it, it is understandable, this is a secret that must be protected even if it is not necessary to kill people, how could Chen Xi find it so easily. After walking inside for about half an hour, Chen Xi looked back and couldn't see the entrance to the cave at all. But it's still bright, and it seems like there's a long, long way to go. Chen Xi couldn't help but want to go back, go back and wait for the third battle to begin, because nothing will be found here.
But an unwilling thought was always coiling in his mind, forcing him to continue to go deeper step by step. And the six black warriors were still cold and stiff and didn't say a word, just escorted Chen Xi and accompanied him forward. However, Chen Xi found that their hands were tightly holding the light knives, obviously they were more nervous than Chen Xi in an abandoned cave, why did the black warriors whose average strength exceeded the average strength of the demigods be afraid? And this fear was completely subconscious.
This fear is not from the heart, it has been reflected in the body, which means that these black warriors have entered this cave, and there must have been something terrible here that they will never forget. Even if they died, their muscles were still afraid of this terrible, this was just a feeling of Chen Xi, a feeling for no reason
There is a feeling that most people do not experience, called the darkness in the light. The tunnel was still so bright, but Chen Xi had the illusion that he was in boundless darkness. This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for his calm heart, he would definitely be driven crazy if he went on. So Chen Xi couldn't help but look at the six black warriors around him, although they all looked nervous, their pace was still steady.
In other words, their nervousness is a habitual thing, but Chen Xi's feeling of being in the dark is not there, or it is very light. This deepened Chen Xi's previous feeling, these black warriors had all entered the tunnel.
"Do you have any bad memories of this place?"
As soon as Chen Xi's footsteps stopped, the footsteps of the six black warriors all stopped. They looked sideways at Chen Xi, their eyes as calm as ever. That strange feeling became clearer and clearer in Chen Xi's heart, and the bodies of these black warriors were involuntarily on guard and afraid, but their expressions and eyes were still calm, which showed that they were not afraid in their minds.
Isn't this a paradox? The body is afraid and on guard, but the mind doesn't react at all.
Chen Xi still didn't get any answer from the six black warriors, he sighed and prepared to give up. It seems that the tunnel will not reach the end, which is why Chen Xi turned the cave into a tunnel. It was as if it was a road to another world, not a cave carved out of exploration. It has been at least more than thirty miles since entering, and I still don't know how far it is from the end.
"Let's go back. ”
Chen Xi turned around, and the six black warriors also turned around neatly. No matter how Chen Xi moved, the formation of the six of them remained extremely stable, and they would not mess up a single penny.
Just as Chen Xi turned around to leave, he suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet. This kind of tremor was particularly slight, so that when Chen Xi went to observe the six black warriors, he found that the six of them did not react at all. Chen Xi frowned, wondering if it was his own delusion. After a long time in such an environment, all kinds of illusions will appear in the south.
Chen Xi still remembers a story that when he was in the Tianfu Continent, the royal family of Great Chu once mobilized millions of ordinary people in order to build the imperial tomb. These ordinary people were taken deep into the mountains to excavate, and although they would not have dug such a deep and huge tunnel, they also spent most of their time working underground. After more than half a year, a large number of maniacs began to appear among these craftsmen.
Many people are not tired, but crazy in a depressing environment. They either shouted that they saw a monster or said they were consumed by the fire of hell. But in fact, they didn't see anything. It was a terrible spectacle, and it was even more incomprehensible that they were going to die.
The hallucination saw the monster's craftsman crawling wailing as if he were being bitten by something intangible, but there was no change in him, no wound at all. Then he died, and the coroner went mad when he examined him, for he found that all the symptoms of the man were as if he had died of blood loss, and that the deceased had not even a single wound on his body. Those who hallucinated to see the fire of hell had intact skin, but it was terrifyingly hot, and their bodies gradually became shriveled after death, but there were absolutely no signs of burning.
This kind of thing can't be explained.
Just when Chen Xi doubted himself, there was a very slight vibration under his feet. This time it seemed clearer, so Chen Xi asked almost immediately, "Do you feel some shaking on the ground?"
Then he saw that the eyes of the leader of the Black Warrior seemed to have changed.
It's not an illusion, it's really vibrating. However, this is inside the mountain, and it is reasonable that there will be vibrations. Chen Xi didn't care too much, but the previous calm made people feel a terrible feeling of suffocation.
"Let's go!"
The leader of the Black Warriors suddenly shouted, and then took the initiative to pull Chen Xi.
This is a very unreasonable thing, he seemed to be a dumb person before, but at this time he shouted to go, and then pulled Chen Xi to speed up his pace and rushed outside. Yes, not to walk, but to rush. It was at this time that Chen Xi discovered that the demigod's ability was suppressed by some force, and it was impossible to travel through space in the Black Gold Mountain! Maybe it was the change that happened after the earthquake, maybe it was like this as soon as he entered the tunnel.
The tremors beneath his feet became clearer and clearer, and the tiny gravel on the ground began to jump. Then there was a creaking sound coming from the depths of the tunnel, like the sound of a wooden wheeler turning.
Chen Xi saw that the six black warriors were trembling, and it was an irrepressible fear.
"It's coming"
Suddenly, a black warrior stood there and said two words as if he was stupid. Then Chen Xi saw two green and faint light clusters appear in the depths of the tunnel, which became clearer and clearer. And then the sound of the wooden wheeled cart moving became louder and louder. It seemed that a large cart pulling something was moving out slowly, but at an astonishing speed.
"Still digging?"
Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
The leader of the Black Warriors seemed to take a deep breath and clenched his light knife: "No, this place has been abandoned for half a month, and there is not a single car in it." ”
