Chapter 61: Climbing the Cave Wall

But naturally, we didn't get any response.

The passage was still silent, barely audible.

But that's not quite right.

If the person who came was Cui Hao or Wang Wangyang, they would never make such a joke with us.

In addition, when I turned my head just now, I clearly saw a figure standing in the darkness. It's just a pity that I didn't catch up.

So maybe we're not the only ones underground.

I continued to look at the ground carefully.

Suddenly, I noticed something unusual, where a lot of dust had been worn away.

But I could clearly see that at the edges, there seemed to be half a palm print printed there.

"Someone pressed to the ground, and the palm of the hand looked twice as small as mine, and it looked like a girl's hand, or like a child."

Thinking of this, I stared carefully at the half palm print and inadvertently glanced at the wall.

But suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be a little unclear mark on the wall, which was also a palm print.

"Strange, the height of this palm print is too high, right?"

According to the size of this hand, it should be a girl or child on the other side, and I estimate that their height may be one meter five or six or below.

However, the traces of this palm appeared at a height of more than two meters from the ground, which was too abnormal.

I took a breath and couldn't help but glance up.

Under the light of the flashlight, I was surprised to find that the top of our heads was densely covered with handprints.

The handprints overlapped and covered the entire ceiling.

Seeing me look up, Zhang Xu also looked up curiously following my gaze.

It was only after he could see the view above our heads that his eyes widened in horror.

"Oh my god, what the hell is up there?"

I shook my head and told him to be silent.

"Pretending not to notice at first, we continued to walk slowly, I said that there was no road here, how could that figure suddenly disappear. He may have been hiding above our heads all the time, quietly watching the two of us look like headless flies below. ”

You know, the top of our heads is the highest place, and if the two of us are defenseless, this guy jumps out of the air and attacks us.

Then the two of us are like lambs to the slaughter, and we can only passively wait to be attacked.

Even if this guy has the intention to kill us, we may not even have time to react, and this guy will directly wipe his neck.

Now that the enemy is in the dark, the best thing to do is to keep quiet and find a way to figure out what this guy is.

And then the rest of the planning will be.

Listening to my words, Zhang Xu nodded, and silently followed behind me and walked forward quietly.

The two of us were always tugging at the rope around our waists, for fear that something would happen and the two of us would get separated.

I was able to pull out my gossip mirror and aim it at the ceiling.

The mirror surface of the gossip mirror is relatively clear, and I can clearly see every corner of the ceiling.

The handprints on it are densely packed, and it makes people chill to look at.

Mainly, I'm not sure if it's one person here, or if it's many, whether it's alive or dead.

If it's a living person, it's easy to deal with, but if this guy is really a dead person, then we have to pretend not to see it and think about it in the long run.

At this time.

Suddenly, I heard a rustle in the direction of my front again, and footsteps again.

Only this time, the footsteps did not follow us, but seemed to guide us forward.

The footsteps were moving away from the front.

Zhang Xu took a nervous breath and looked at me uneasily.

"Shall we chase after us?"

I nodded, grabbed him and started rushing forward.

On the way, my eyes never took off my gossip mirror.

Always keep your eyes on the ceiling for fear of missing any clues and information.

At this time, the passage ahead gradually opened up.

It's a pity that as the two of us ran, the owner of the footsteps in front of us seemed to hear us.

His speed suddenly began to increase, and his steps became faster.

The two of us followed him closely, picking up speed, but never catching up with this guy.

"Keep walking, don't stop."

Suddenly, behind us, there was another footstep sound.

This time it was two footsteps. One was leading the way, the other seemed to be following us behind.

Zhang Xu didn't dare to breathe, his expression was nervous, as if he was about to go soft on the ground, his legs kept trembling, if it wasn't for my support, people might have been paralyzed on the ground in fright.

"What's going on? Isn't that footstep ahead? Is there more than one person here? ”

It's hard to say.

The point is that I just saw a little light faintly above my head.

But when I looked closely at the gossip mirror, the light disappeared again.

It's like something is hidden.

"Strange, what the hell is going on?"

All the way through, I always had the feeling that something was staring at me.

And this gaze seems to come from overhead.

But along the way, I kept holding the gossip mirror, always facing my head, but I never found any shadows on the ceiling.

"Is there anyone or no one up there?"

I didn't understand, but Zhang Xu suddenly quickened his pace and led me forward.

"The footsteps behind me are getting closer and closer, walk quickly, I feel that there may be danger to happen."

But before we could run a few steps, we both tripped over a rock on the ground.

At this moment, the footsteps were a few meters behind us, almost close at hand.

Turn back immediately and look back quickly.

The footsteps were still approaching, but I couldn't see anyone behind us.

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Xu kept propping up the ground with his hands and retreating backwards, but the footsteps of this invisible figure gradually approached us.

"What should I do?"

After thinking about it, I took out the amulet I had brought from my body and threw it to Zhang Xu.

"You take it, here you go. Wait if there is any danger, or if something rushes towards us. You don't have to worry about me running away in the first place. ”

With that, I cut the rope around our waists.

Zhang Xu was almost nervous and couldn't breathe.

Seeing me cut the rope made him tremble even more.

"Let me run on my own, but how do I get out?"

I shook my head and pointed to the passage ahead.

"I'm going over, whether that guy is invisible or something else, anyway, I'll go and drive this guy for you, and you take the opportunity to find another direction to escape."

With that, I rushed straight in the direction of the footsteps.

Today, no matter what, I'm going to have to figure out what the hell this scary guy is.

But at the moment I rushed to the voice.

This time, the sound and footsteps stopped again.

There was silence all around, as if everything I had just heard was my tinnitus and hallucinations.

Zhang Xu came to my side in fear, grabbed my arm, and looked around nervously.

"How so? What the hell is going on? ”

I looked at the ceiling again, taking a closer look at the handprints.

I noticed that the mudra was exactly the same as before, and it didn't get more, but vaguely, I seemed to see that something was not quite right about the handprint.

Before the strange voice sounded, I glanced at Zhang Xu.

"In this way, I see that the surrounding stone walls are not too strong, and I want to climb up to see the situation."

I pointed to the tens of thousands of handprints on the top of my head.

"That's definitely the crux of the matter, and if we figure this out, maybe there's a way to escape."

Zhang Xu's eyes widened in horror and shook his head vigorously.

"No, if you really go up, in case of danger, I won't even have room to save you."

I handed him the rope of the ring in my hand and pointed to the wall.

"I'll put a nail in it later, and then hook it with a hoop, and wrap the rope around the hoop as well."

I pointed to the other side of the rope.

"Then you will take the end of the rope, and the other end will be tied around my waist, and if I am in any real danger, I will jump off it. With the help of this ring and the nail, this rope can be dragged so that I don't fall straight down. My life and death are all up to you. ”

Listening to my words, Zhang Xu immediately nodded solemnly.

"No problem, I'll do it for you."

Without further ado, I quickly raised my head to look at the top.

Then I immediately pulled out a nail and struck it directly at a crack in the wall.

With a bang, the nail was driven straight into the crack.

I immediately did the same, and continued to use the same method to nail the nails that didn't stop on the wall.

I positioned two rows of nails so I could step on them.

Then I climbed to the top with the help of a nail, and then I took out the last nail and nailed it to the top of my head.

After nailing, I bent the handle of the nail and hung the rope without finding the ring.

I threw the other end of the rope to Zhang Xu below.

"Remember, if something happens to me in a moment, you must stop me immediately."

After that, I grabbed the nail and carefully observed every trace of the nail on the top.

But just as I was observing the marks of the nail, I suddenly felt a chill behind me.

That feeling of being spied on is here again.

I immediately looked behind me, and the top of the Ten Musts behind me was still empty, with no imaginary figures.

"Strange, could it be that I feel wrong?"

I vaguely began to wonder if everything was my hallucination.

But I could only suppress my anxiety and continue to search the walls carefully, trying to find the mechanism set up on the dome.
