85. Go one level down
The ice grass was not found, and now when I go back, all my previous efforts will be in vain.
"What then? We can't extinguish such a big fire, we only bring a few pots of water, and the fire walls here are dozens of meters wide! Sun Qing shouted anxiously.
"I have an idea, but it's quite laborious" Feng Yuan pointed to the ground, "Use a knife to dig through the floor tiles, and use the floor tiles to plug the holes in the stone wall"
"Huh? That's it......" Ling Ye kicked the floor tiles, and the floor tiles made a dull sound of "dong dong dong", "just our knife, dig this solid brick?" God knows how long it will be dug up? At that time, I was not suffocated, but I was also exhausted."
"It's better to run over there, as long as you don't stay here, it shouldn't matter, right?" Li Xiang tilted his head and asked.
"You know, this is underwater, who knows if there is any other air chamber, if not, then there is only so much air left" Feng Yuan pouted, "And this fire ring is so big, if you don't extinguish it, you won't be able to get by, unless you want to be burned to a dry corpse"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you really have to dig this brick?" Li Xiang sighed.
"Perhaps...... There is another way" Huang Junming looked at Ling Ye and said, "Use your ability to attract bats over"
"Huh? Why do you attract them? Ling Ye asked puzzled.
"yes, haven't you been bitten enough by them?" Sun Qing touched the wound on his body and said angrily.
"You attract them over first, not too many, just three or five" Huang Junming ignored Sun Qing and ordered directly.
"Oh" Ling Ye agreed, reciting the incantation, and some "squeak" sounds gradually came from the distance, followed by several red-eyed bats, flying towards everyone.
"Midnight! Now, let the bats plug the holes! Huang Junming let out a loud sigh, and Ling Ye instantly understood his plan, and activated his ability to scatter the bats and block each hole separately.
The bat's small size just caught in the hole, and the flow of oil gradually stopped, leaving only a few drops.
The bat struggled in the hole, but was unable to escape, and after a few minutes, as the fuel wore off, the flames gradually extinguished, and the surrounding environment cooled down.
"Li Xiang, the third bulge from the left stone pillar to the right, press it" Ling Ye commanded, Li Xiang decisively turned over and pressed the bulge.
With a "pop", the hole closed in unison, and the stuck bat was cut off by the board of the hole, and half of its body fell.
"It's so sharp!" Li Xiang sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't use stone bricks to block it, otherwise it would have been cut sooner or later, you see this bat, the skin and flesh and even the bones have been cut by this board, and it won't take a second to work."
"It's good that Ling Ye knows how to turn off the mechanism, hey, no, how did you know, didn't you say before, didn't you see the transparent person open the mechanism?" Feng Yuan asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I'm starting to doubt again" Li Xiang pouted, "When will the stinky problem be changed?"
"I didn't see it, but the bats saw it, and I have a soul in it that can connect to creatures and see their memories."
"Oh, that's it."
"Okay, let's go, keep going!" Li Xiang urged the two.
Everyone continued to move forward, and after a long time, except for bats that would often attack them, they didn't encounter anything else, but the cave was dark and intricate, and a few people walked for a few hours before they found that they were circling in place, and they wanted to propose to go separately, but Li Xiang refused.
So he could only make a few marks, barely moving forward, and at the end of the road, there was a huge stone wall in front of him, everyone thought it was a dead end, and wanted to leave, but Huang Junming stopped them.
"There's a sound down there......"
"Below? Is it here? ”
Huang Junming nodded, lay on the ground, knocked and beat, and after a while, he really pulled out a ring for him, which was the entrance to the lower staircase.
"Yes, I have to go down another layer" Feng Yuan glanced down, it was dark, but it was better than the previous water hole, and there was no need to climb the rope to go down, so according to the order, Feng Yuan was the first, Ling Ye was second, followed by Huang Junming, Li Xiang and Sun Qing.
The stairs at the foot are made of stone bricks, arranged very neatly, and the height is also consistent.
Reminiscent of the previous frescoes, it does resemble a medieval castle, with even the staircase going down in a circle.
Walking down layer by layer, for more than ten minutes, Sun Qing kept shouting 'tired to death', and everyone didn't pay attention to it.
Waiting until the road surface was flat, Feng Yuan said:
"In the end"
When they looked back, the steps behind them were as tall and long as twisted flowers.
And in front of it is a large space, but not the stone bricks under the feet but different, carved with all kinds of pictures, there are birds, beasts, and people, just like a migration map, they carry baskets, drag carts, and keep moving forward, the more they go forward, the more panicked the creatures on the mural.
At first, he still took the salute, dragged the belongings, and carried the child in his arms, and when he came back, he threw away the belongings, dragged the children and the daughter on foot, and the last pair ran as fast as if fleeing in a hurry, and the birds did the same, from the beginning of the leisurely, to the end of the wings and flying high, and the beasts pounced on the humans, and rushed forward.
"Something seems to be chasing them," Feng Yuan touched his chin.
"I also think that judging from the murals, this thing should be quite powerful," Li Xiang continued.
"Then why didn't the last painting be carved out?" Sun Qing asked tremblingly.
"I didn't carve it...... Huang Junming thought about it seriously, and suddenly thought of something, "It's not that there is no carving, it's because that thing can't be seen at all!" ”
His words were like thunder in the hearts of the people, and the blank space left by the last painting was explained.
There was a blank patch above, and a corpse on the ground below.
"Whew...... The sound of heavy breathing sounded, especially in the silence.
The crowd looked around, and there was nothing around, but they knew in their hearts that the transparent man was there.
"Don't move yet, there's no fire here, we can't see it" Ling Ye hurriedly reassured everyone, "As long as we are together, it won't dare to come up"
"Water...... Water," Sun Qing exclaimed.
"What water?" Li Xiang asked impatiently.
"I have water above my head ......"
Everyone looked back and found that a few centimeters away from the top of Sun Qing's head, there were water droplets dripping down, accompanied by a stench crawling out of hell.
"Oh no, it's above you!" Midnight shouted.
