48. Enter the cave
"Good"
Ling Ye agreed, and asked Grandma for a dagger that had been tempered with ice crystals, some medicine, and a few bags of food.
When I left the camp, I kept walking east.
According to the instructions in the note, it takes about 6 hours to walk to the treasure cave.
Midnight could only keep walking, and when he came out, it was already late at night, and he had to reach the entrance of the cave before the sun rose.
But after all, the body has not been trained to walk long distances, and after walking for nearly two hours, Ling Ye was still paralyzed on the ground due to physical exhaustion.
There was a sparse noise in the woods.
Ling Ye thought it was a monster that had not been dealt with by Zhao Yu and them, and took out his dagger and looked there vigilantly.
As a result, a thin figure spun out of the bushes and shouted at him:
"Brother Midnight"
"How are you? Why did you come along? Seeing that it was Zhao Jiuxiao, Ling Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Jiuxiao pointed to the stone in his hand and then pointed at him.
Only then did he understand that Zhao Jiuxiao had teleported through the strange stone on his body.
He was a little helpless, he had been out for a long time now, and sending this kid back was definitely not enough time to rush to the cave, so he could only leave him temporarily.
Zhao Jiuxiao saw that he didn't get it right, so he ran over happily to pinch his legs and feet.
He looked through the note helplessly, hoping to find a temporary shelter from the monster from it, but found nothing, and saw that he could only walk to the cave in one breath.
As soon as he stood up, his legs and feet trembled as if he didn't obey the call, and Zhao Jiuxiao also persuaded him to rest for a while.
"No, I promised, at least 10 people will be saved, the sooner I arrive, the easier it will be to save people, I can't give up like this"
Zhao Jiuxiao helped him up, and saw that he insisted on hurrying, so he expressed his opinion:
"I have a way to rest without affecting the process"
"What's the solution?"
"Give me the notes"
Zhao Jiuxiao took the notes and flipped through a few pages, then picked up a stone from the soil next to him and used mud to make a complex symbol on it.
Then he ran off into the distance and uttered a spell.
Hearing only the sound of "whoosh", Ling Ye only felt that the surrounding scenery was changing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he moved to Zhao Jiuxiao's side.
"This?"
"This is the teleportation method on the note", Zhao Jiuxiao explained, "not only can the party that casts the spell teleport, but also the ordinary person can be teleported to the side of the caster"
Then he pointed to the long string of alien characters on the note, in Ling Ye's opinion, it was a strange symbol, it was a book from heaven, but in Zhao Jiuxiao's eyes, it was indeed a spell that could be read.
He was even more sure that Zhao Jiuxiao did have magical abilities, but only in terms of spells.
So they began to alternate their journeys, one marching for an hour, and then bringing the other over by teleportation, so that both of them had time to rest and the journey was not so tiring.
According to the guidance of the pile of stones made by Zhao Yu, they finally rushed to the entrance of the cave before dawn.
"These are the two caves that Zhao Yu said" Ling Ye remembered what Zhao Yu said, one has a death trap that can't be closed, and the other is a treasure cave that can close the trap.
But the two holes in front of him, exactly the same size, the same size, the inside is also pitch black, he carefully observed the hole, trying to find out the footprints of human beings, but found that the hole was deliberately cleaned, smooth and clean.
"Brother Ling Ye, there are words on it, can you see what is written?"
Looking at it at night, I found that there was a distance between the two cave entrances, and the words were engraved on the stone wall in the middle, which read:
"Do not enter the living, but knock on the dead"
At the bottom are two footprints, one on the left and one on the right.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiuxiao asked, "Is it saying that the living can't go in?" ”
"Take a stone and listen, and see if anyone speaks?"
Zhao Jiuxiao took out the stone, recited a spell, and lifted the stone between the two, Ling Ye listened carefully, and only the sound of "rustling" came from inside.
"Hey! Anyone? ”
"Is anyone there?"
"Can you hear me?"
No matter how Zhao Jiuxiao shouted, there was still no answer inside.
Ling Ye put his hand between the stone walls, trying to sense the memory, but to his surprise, no matter how he sensed it, nothing appeared in front of him.
Could it be that his own abilities have also failed?
The sun rose, and the light also shone in their hesitation, Zhao Jiuxiao urged Ling Ye to make a decision quickly.
If both mechanisms can be closed, then the chance of being selected is still 50%, as long as you are careful, it may be possible, but now it is indeed a life and death decision, once you choose the wrong one, you must not turn back.
Calm down, be sure to be calm.
If even he dies here, Zhao Yu and the others will really be hopeless.
Ling Ye stared at those two footprints in a daze, why did he engrave the footprints here?
"Zhao Jiuxiao, what do you say is the difference between the living and the dead?"
"Huh?" Zhao Jiuxiao scratched his head, "Living people are just like us, they can move and kick."
"What about the dead?"
"I can't move, I can't breathe, if I'm in the camp, I'll be dragged to be cremated."
"That's right! You're right! I see," Ling Ye patted his head and lay down towards the stone wall.
"What do you understand? Why are you lying down......"
He pressed his feet to the footprints on the stone wall, his hands tapping beside him.
"'Do not enter the living, but the dead knock at the door', which means that only the dead are welcome in this cave, which means that the dead can enter, but if the person is really dead, how can he enter? So the meaning of this sentence is not to say that people want to commit suicide and become dead, but to become dead."
"What is the state of a dead man?"
"Lie down, the living can stand, the dead, the cremation of those are lying, so the door of the knock is not in the cave, but here......"
Ling Ye knocked the ground, only listening to the sound of one place, obviously different from knocking on other places, he reached out to touch it, and sure enough, he touched a bulge, and when he pulled hard, it turned out to be a ring.
As the ring was pulled up, the cave on the right made a "boom, boom" sound, and a glimmer of light appeared inside.
"Okay" Zhao Jiuxiao hurriedly ran inside, was stopped by Ling Ye, and told him to be careful, and he walked to the front.
As soon as the two of them entered the cave, they only felt that it was unusually cold inside, and there was a fishy smell.
Because of the use of night vision flowers, in the dim cave, they can see very clearly, the cave seems to be artificially dug, the edge is very neat, supported by large wooden pillars on all sides, and there are torches with wire rings, but the torches are extinguished.
From time to time, water droplets seeped down from the top, dripping on the ground, forming a stream of water, and the two walked deep against the wall.
