Chapter 319: Secrets in the Cellar

The light of the bulb is particularly limited, and after walking forward for a short time, you have already reached an area where there is no light bulb.

The lights were already dim, but now when you don't take a few steps forward, the visible field of vision becomes smaller.

Xie Chen frowned and continued to walk forward, but he seemed more cautious, and did not slow down his pace because of this.

The lights have become dimer, which also shows that the more likely you are to have an accident in this path.

In order to prevent this from happening, and to prevent those four people from being defensive of themselves, Xie Chen had to do the same.

But the more this is the case, the more likely it is to have an accident.

Xie Chen tiptoed forward, but his left foot was not lowered, and when his right foot was about to stand firm, there was a click under his feet.

Xie Chen immediately looked down, and on the dust just now, a broken branch appeared in front of his eyes.

The branch was being trampled under his feet, but he didn't feel anything unusual under his feet at all.

The right foot is as if it is stepping on flat ground, and there is no feeling of foreign objects under your feet.

Xie Chen used his foot to pull left and right, kicking the branch under his feet that was broken by himself to the front.

"What the hell, this is?"

Although I kicked the branch forward hard, the force of the feedback was very small.

Although the branch rolls very far, it gives people a feeling of lightness, like cotton.

If the cotton is a little bigger, it will still feel a little awkward to step on the soles of your feet, but this thing not only does not have this case, but even makes people feel very strange.

Xie Chen just took two steps forward and squatted down, wanting to see if this thing was a branch.

But he had just squatted down, and the branch-like thing that appeared in front of him a second ago had now disappeared in front of him.

Not even the slightest trace of it.

Xie Chen squatted in place and looked left and right, but he didn't even see anything.

The branch that had just appeared in front of him disappeared completely after being kicked open.

"Can you still grow wings and fly away?"

"It doesn't make sense......"

Xie Chen turned his head to look at the side in confusion, and even touched the ground back and forth twice with his fingers, but the branch-like but light thing really seemed to evaporate out of thin air.

Unable to find it left and right, Xie Chen could only stand up again, and did not continue to squat on the ground to look for it.

I haven't reached the halfway point of this road, and it will only be a waste of my time to keep squatting now.

Let's just hope that the branch that just appeared isn't a trap.

If it's just a temptation, it doesn't matter to you.

After all, the effect of the pocket watch is still there, even if you rely on this thing to let those guys hiding in the shadows know their whereabouts, you don't have to worry that they will flee.

Xie Chen walked forward slowly, and when he continued to hurry, he could see that his steps were lighter than before.

Although it doesn't matter if you have just appeared in a small episode, it is better to avoid things like this as much as possible.

Too much of it happens to your own detriment.

Xie Chen groped his way forward, and this time he was not delayed by anything.

Soon came the third bulb, which was noticeably brighter than the previous one.

But that's about it, except that it's a little brighter than the other bulbs, there's not much to offer.

I didn't find anything of value under this light bulb, so I didn't delay much.

On this walkway, Xie Chen has been walking for a long time, although he relies on the effect of a pocket watch in the middle, and he does not have to be afraid of having no spare time to squander.

But the main problem is still in this walkway.

As long as you walk on it, don't count it when you stop.

There was always a feeling of looping back and forth, and at first there were only a few hanging light bulbs in front of me.

Originally, I thought that this road should be like this, and I would soon reach the end, but now that I have passed through the fifth light bulb, the front is still the same.

And every time I pass by the next new light bulb, I always feel that the light bulb hanging on it is particularly familiar.

It's like you've just passed underneath.

For this feeling, Xie Chen himself is also very helpless, because there is no reference and reference standard, there is no way to judge whether this feeling is right or not......

The more he walked forward, the more he felt that something was wrong, and finally stopped.

The mud next to it was the same as when I first came in, it looked very slippery, and the smell of dirt was also very strong.

But there is another subtlety, which is that the dirt has lost its very unpleasant smell, and is no longer the source of the unpleasant smell.

But the more this happened, the more I felt that something was wrong.

It's as if it's planned, and it's just telling yourself that there's nothing wrong here, maybe it's your own mistake.

Xie Chen took a deep breath, his eyes stared straight ahead, the most likely thing was that he had something wrong with himself, but he hadn't noticed it in this situation.

Xie Chen quickly took out the pocket watch in his pocket, and then pressed it twice with his hand.

It can also be regarded as removing the time-stop effect by yourself.

As soon as he put the pocket watch in his pocket, there was a strange sound around him.

Just now, because the time-stopping effect exists, even if there is a sound, it will be blocked by the effect of the pocket watch, and unless the effect of time stop is released, you can't hear it.

The sound was like the cricket of a cricket, with some frogs in between.

But this is not a wild field, but a deep ground of four or five meters.

Ever since I got out of the cellar, the aisle has been on a downward trend.

Although the upper support column has a hollow design in the middle, it should be connected to some digging pipes on the ground to ensure that there is enough oxygen.

But no matter how much you talk about it, you can't have these voices.

In this shady environment, damp and dry are polarized, and there is no grass, it is difficult for insects to survive here.

Insects can survive on grass, and frogs and the like can survive on predators, but only if there is grass here.

The crickets and frogs chirping are very close to him, and they are basically around here.

But the path in front of me is still so narrow, and along the way, I didn't even see the grass growing here.

Xie Chen just stood in place, thinking for a while that he had auditory hallucinations?

Even if I continue to move forward with the function of the pocket watch not taking effect, the sound just now continues to exist in my ears.

The voice that didn't disappear seemed to emphasize to himself over and over again that everything I heard now was definitely not my own auditory hallucination, but it was real.

Xie Chen walked forward slowly, but he didn't dare to observe the surroundings carelessly, even if there was a slight sound, he had to stand in place and stop and watch.

This kind of thing can't be helped.

The aisle is very narrow, and the front is still very long, and it doesn't look like it can go to the end at all.

And the crickets and frogs are very close, and the only possibility is that there should be other space here that has not been noticed by oneself except for the walkway under one's feet.

And that's exactly what happened.

Leaning his head close to the dirt wall next to him, the sound here was even more pronounced than just now, and even the frog that had screamed twice seemed to be shouting into his own ear.

Xie Chen heard it very insincerely, and stared sideways at the wet mud wall in front of him.

After thinking about it in his brain, Xie Chen still raised his foot in the narrow corridor and kicked down the mud wall on the side.

If you were digging in the ground, like the current situation, you would never do such a stupid act.

But the sound of the frog just now couldn't be closer to him, and it was possible that the mud wall in front of him was just a façade.

Judging from the scale below, it is impossible to look like it has just been excavated, and even the ground is already so dry, and the ventilation conditions are so good.

But why is it that only the dirt on both sides of the wall is wet?

Just thinking about it made me get closer to the answer in my heart.

As he kicked against the dirt wall in front of him, the wet dirt immediately covered the soles of his feet, and even splashed on his trouser legs.

I thought it might be a particularly strong wall, but I was kicked out of a big hole by my own kick.

What comes out of the middle is a large layer of cardboard, and it doesn't look particularly waterproof.

Although there was a thin layer of wood in the middle, the circle of paper that had been pasted around the perimeter had been corroded by the wet soil, and it was useless.

The only thing that is a little bit good is that there is still a bit of bonding, and in addition, for the thin layer of wood in the middle, it is more like a cumbersome existence.

The original intention of this thing was to improve the sound insulation, but after being wet by the outer layer of dirt, this only effect was gone.

Xie Chen looked at the black hole in front of him, and slowly leaned his face over.

Plop.

A sound came from the black cardboard, followed by a particularly distinct croaking of frogs.

One can imagine the result of a frog that is ready to go, but ends up crashing into a cardboard.

From here came a particularly pronounced smell of dampness, even heavier than the aisle of this cellar.

Xie Chen didn't care about the dirt that covered his trouser legs, and raised his foot again to fill the gap on the right.

Just now, after the first kick that was kicked out, there was a gap and there were many cracks around it.

It's just blocked by the mud sticking next to it, and I can't see it clearly.

After Xie Chen's second kick, it was even more effortless.

The gap, which was originally only half the size of a head, is now cracked in one piece.

Even the front and back are a little crumbling, as if they will not be able to hold on and collapse at any time.

Xie Chen didn't continue to kick up, as long as the gap in front of him could be seen slightly.

The walkway was already so narrow that if the wall on the side really collapsed, it would only make it even more difficult for me to walk.

Xie Chen quickly took out the pocket watch in his pocket, and stopped all the time around him as quickly as he could.

Although there are drawbacks to stopping time now, if you hadn't just taken the initiative to unravel the effect of time stopping, you might still continue to drive along this endless walkway.

But now that other paths have been found, the pocket watch has regained its original usefulness.

As the effect of the time pause was turned on, the surrounding sounds disappeared at the first time, and the sound of frogs and crickets also returned to calm at the first time.

The dust slowly peeled it off little by little.

The wooden board in front of me felt very brittle when I kicked it, but now it is very difficult to shoot it with my hands.

It took a lot of effort to get a small piece of it, and it was like it was sticky together.

Peel away the small layer of moist soil on the outside, and the glue inside is really sticky, and the soil does not account for much.

In desperation, Xie Chen had to use his feet again.

The gap in front of him was quickly kicked open by his own feet, and now even if he passes alone, it is no problem at all.

After passing through this gap, I am also here.

A few drops of dew dripped on his face, and Xie Chen looked up to see that it had actually slipped down from several huge palm leaves.

Although it is very dark, I can see it clearly, and I feel a bit of a primeval forest.

"This thing is hidden underground?"

Looking ahead, there was a large area of particularly dense grass, and not only the palm tree next to him, but also about seven or eight in front of him.

There were a few glowing fireflies that got stuck in mid-air due to the time-stopping effect.

Xie Chen walked forward slowly, but there was a slight wet feeling under his feet.

I quickly lifted my feet, only to find that there were many trickles of water flowing from the soles of my feet, all towards a shining spring in front of me.

If you don't turn on the stop-and-stop effect, you should be able to hear the sound of running water.

Because there was all this spreading water under his feet, there was nothing to hide, and Xie Chen continued to walk slowly.

There was a grasshopper in front of me that jumped in mid-air and was frozen, as if telling myself that there was more to it than just crickets.

Xie Chen looked around, although he found that this place was a great news, but he had targeted the four people who disappeared from the beginning.

The weeds in front are so dense that it is very possible to hide from people.

In order to prevent the risk of being attacked when the function of the pocket watch is turned off, the dust can only walk back and forth along the grass in the area over and over again.

After passing through the big palm tree on the side, I finally made a breakthrough.

I've never been to this place before, and under the palm trees in front of me, there are several messy footprints, which slowly stretch forward.

Xie Chen looked ahead vigilantly, but there was only a large patch of weeds, and no one was seen for the time being.
