Chapter 83: The Cave of Evil 1
The toad crossed the three of them and went directly into the cave, and Zixian reached out and grabbed Fan Wu, who wanted to follow up, "Brother Fan Wu, the toad said that it went to explore the road first, let's wait here for a while." ”
Fan Wu stopped and said in surprise, "Oh? I thought it saw something good, and immediately left us to act on our own?"
"No, it should be following us for a long time. ”
"Oh, why, it's good for it?" Fan Wu was even more surprised.
"Sort of, it told me along the way, it is now at an important juncture of transformation, what it needs is an opportunity or a master, and then it is useless to continue to stay on the mountain, just you saved it, it is willing to follow us all the way to find opportunities. ”
Zixian helped the toad to speak like this, it seems that there is more than just communication along the way.
Fan Wu looked at Zixian suspiciously, "You all know each other?"
"Yes, Brother Fan Wu, there are only four demons in this mountain, and I have nothing to do with the other two, except that I have communication with the little frog, and I often talk about cultivation together, it's very good, oh, the little frog I'm talking about is this toad." ”
At this time, Zhong Kui, who was on the side, took Zixian's hand and interjected, "Sister Zixian, you are too simple, I'm afraid that you are too easy to believe in other people's words, and you don't know if you are deceived, in the future, you let that little frog have something to say directly to Fan Wu." ”
Zixian first nodded, and then shook his head like a rattle, "The little frog can understand what we say, but he can't speak yet, and you can't understand what it says, so you can only chat with me for the time being, rest assured that it won't lie to me." ”
Zhong Kui was still a little worried and wanted to continue to say something to remind this simple sister, Fan Wu grabbed her with one hand and shook her head, and then said to Zixian:
"Zixian, it doesn't matter what it wants to say to you, but you remind it that if you want to continue to follow us, as long as it involves making decisions in the future, you must tell me, otherwise don't follow us. After speaking, he let go of Zhong Kui's hand and turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave.
Zixian nodded obediently, "Okay, Brother Fan Wu, I'll talk to it, it's definitely no problem, because it said that it feels like you have the opportunity it needs to transform, so it's willing to follow us." ”
"Oh, is this what it said personally?" Zhong Kui felt a little lost after being held by Fan Wu's hand and released, and his expression was a little unnatural, afraid that Fan Wu would see it, so he quickly pretended to be surprised and turned his head to Zixian and asked.
"Well, yes. Of course, Zixian couldn't see Zhong Kui's unnaturalness, and replied normally.
In fact, Zhong Kui was just weak-hearted, Fan Wu didn't notice her expression at all, and for modern people, holding hands is nothing, as long as they don't hug each other in such an awkward and ambiguous posture as that day.
While the three of them were talking, the toad frog came out, stood at the entrance of the cave and let out a low cooing sound at Zixian, and Zixian immediately said: "Brother Fan Wu, Xiaofrog said that there is no danger inside, we can go in." ”
"Okay, let's go!" Fan Wu carefully observed the toad standing at the entrance of the cave, and didn't find anything wrong, so he gave an order, and the toad led the way in front, and the three of them walked towards the cave.
When you enter the cave, you will find that the environment here is like an ordinary cave, and the damp ground and cave walls indicate that it is close to the water source, and there is moss everywhere.
The whole cave has an eerie and damp feeling, but it is very empty, there are almost no stones in the space the size of a football field, and there are no stalactites on the top, only a few half-stone and half-mud protrusions on the cave wall.
And it's very dark inside, only a little light comes in through the hole, although several people on the scene can see in the dark, but such a dark and damp place still feels quite uncomfortable.
I always feel a little chill coming out of my heart, which is a bit abnormal for the two demons, but you can see it at a glance in the hole, and there is nothing to obstruct the eyes, so a few people still endure the abnormal chill and go to the middle.
According to Toad, it had already made a round of the cave, and if it wanted to find the entrance to the underground river, only the fallen stone slab in the middle was suspicious, and the rest of the place was just ordinary mud floor, only the stone slab seemed to be hollow.
Fan Wu followed the toad to the slate it said, and couldn't help but smile, for the toad's small size, it may be a slate, but in fact, it is a flat stone the size of the god card, square but missing a corner.
There is no difference between the moss covered and the ground next to it, if it weren't for the toad to find out, a few of them wouldn't notice the existence of the stone at all, Fan Wu squatted down and looked at the toad suspiciously, "Is there empty under this stone?"
The toad nodded, and then muttered a few words to Zixian, who translated: "Brother Fan Wu, the little frog said that it must be empty underneath, because the feeling of jumping up is different, but it doesn't know if it is the entrance to the underground river below, so it doesn't dare to move." ”
"Hmm. ”
Fan Wu answered, stretched out his hand to knock on the stone, and didn't hear any hollow feeling, tilted his head and glanced at the toad again, and the toad jumped up and down a few times a little anxiously.
Fan Wu ignored it, and reached out to clean the moss from the stone, which looked like an ordinary stone, but the shape was relatively regular.
Since it is an ordinary stone, there is no need to think too much, I stretched out my hand and turned the stone over, and there were words on the reverse side of the stone, and I saw that the words 'Position of the Lord of the Bodhisattva' were written crookedly on it.
No wonder the shape looks so similar, it turns out to be a god card, but what is the 'Bodhisattva Lord'? It doesn't look like it's written by a literate person at all, isn't it human?
I was just about to turn around and ask Zhong Kui if he knew what kind of monster this Bodhisattva Lord was, when suddenly everyone's eyes went dark, and the whole cave became invisible.
Fan Wu immediately said, "Everyone be careful, I may have triggered some formation or mechanism." ”
This is the first time Fan Wu has encountered such a situation, and it stands to reason that even when he is still a ghost, he can maintain normal vision in the dark, and there will definitely be no darkness in front of him.
Therefore, even Fan Wu, whose strength was not low, felt a burst of panic, and the chill in his heart was even stronger, "Everyone stand by my side, don't get separated." ”
Fan Wu stood up and wanted to pull Zhong Kui and Zixian over, but he stretched out his hand and pulled it into the air, there was no one in front of him, he took a step forward and swept his hand left and right, but there was still no one, and he called a few times and didn't hear them respond.
There was no sound around, as if he was the only one standing in the dead silent space, and for a while Fan Wu was even more nervous, but he still tried to stay calm, and did not continue to move, standing still in place and calling Zhong Kui and the others.
In the absolute darkness of silence, there was no concept of time passing, it seemed that only a few minutes had passed, and it seemed that several hours had passed, under the mood that Fan Wu could not bear to go crazy.
Finally, a faint burst of blue light came out from the ground under his feet, the blue light was really faint, only enough for Fan Wu to see the ground and the space below his waist, and if he was a little higher, he couldn't see anything, that is, his upper body was still shrouded in absolute darkness.
Wait, I was in the middle of the cave just now, how could there be a wall around me?
Fan Wu stretched out his hand and groped for the surroundings, not knowing when he was in a narrow passage, the passage was only large enough for the two of them to go side by side, and the damp walls of the cave were on either side.
It seemed that after entering a formation, there were no other people around him, but looking and feeling, Fan Wu intuitively thought that he was still in that cave, but he didn't know why the empty space had become a narrow passage.
No matter where they are now, the first thing to do is to find Zhong Kui and the others back, Fan Wu casually chose a direction and set off and began to grope forward.
Before setting off, I studied the ground, the blue light came out from under the ground, as if a dim blue fluorescent lamp was buried underneath, and I reached out to remove the surface soil, but I couldn't find the light source, it seemed to be buried deeply.
Groping around, I didn't find anything, and even the god card that was originally in the vicinity was gone, so I had to give up looking for the light source and find someone first.
He tried to crouch down and walk, but he still couldn't see anything in the darkness above, and not only did he not see more clearly but also slowed down, so after walking for a while, he still stood up straight and touched the wall to move forward.
Fan Wu decided that this was a formation, which was touched when he turned over the god card, so he was very anxious now, afraid that Zhong Kui and the others would be in danger if they touched any mechanism again.
So he leaned against the wall, saw that there were no obstacles on the ground and ran forward as fast as possible, and did not slow down much when he encountered a turn, he rushed through, and he did not notice that the blue light on the road after running was getting brighter and brighter.
It wasn't until after turning a few corners that Fan Wu found that the ground in front of him was much brighter than the light he had passed before, and he could already illuminate the position of his head, and he thought that he had arrived in a new area, and he didn't know that he had gone around in a circle and returned to the original point.
After he had crossed the starting point some distance again, a low and slight whining sound suddenly came from the darkness of the upper half of the cave, but Fan Wu was so focused on rushing forward that he didn't notice it.
When he had gone far away, a large dog that stood like a human jumped out of the darkness above the starting point, and the large dog that stood up was half a head shorter than a normal adult, just within the range of the blue light.
The whole was a decomposing dog corpse, like a corpse buried in the ground for months, the whole body was rotting and lifeless, and there was a stench of rotting flesh, except for a pair of eyes that glowed blue, revealing weirdness and coldness.
As Fan Wu continued to move forward, the blue-eyed dog corpses that jumped down one after another from the top of the route he passed through for the second time were very strange and did not chase Fan Wu later, but waited quietly in place, as if they knew that he would come back.
After walking a little further, Fan Wu finally felt a little inappropriate, not that his eyes had found anything that he had passed, but that his body instinctively felt that this route was a little familiar.
Knowing in his heart that it was the first time he came to this cave, and his body felt familiar that it could only prove that he was going in circles, Fan Wu immediately stopped and turned back to observe, and this time he finally saw the appearance of the dog corpse.
Looking at the dog corpse that appeared behind him silently, Fan Wu did not hesitate at all, and immediately summoned AK to shoot at the dog corpse.
Although the blue-eyed dog corpse looked weird and powerful, it still couldn't block the attack of the Soul Bullet, Fan Wu advanced while strafing, and quickly returned to the starting point after killing the dog corpse.
Fan Wu, who had returned to the starting point, felt confused for a while, thinking that if this was a closed route, where did Zhong Kui and the others go, and how could they break the formation and leave.
No matter what, after killing the dog corpse first, when he returned to the starting point, he didn't see the dog corpse again, and Fan Wu immediately thought that there was still half of the road that he hadn't repeated.
Pick up AK and start retrograde directly from the starting point, the strange thing is that there is no dog corpse until the place where you turned halfway just now, and it is judged that the formation should have established touching conditions, and immediately turn around and return the same way.
Sure enough, there was a dog corpse coming down as he walked, Fan Wu simply walked backwards, retreating all the way and killing all the way, and soon, he returned to the starting point again.
The whole route has been killed once, why is the environment still the same, and the formation is not broken?
Fan Wu's head was big for a while, and he thought that he could break the formation after killing the dog corpse monster, it seems that he wants to think simply, or is the method of breaking the formation not this at all?
Fan Wu, who had no clue after thinking about it, thought about using violence to break the formation, but he was not sure where Zhong Kui and the others were, and he didn't dare to directly use the Vulcan Gun to smash this place.
Fan Wu, who had no better way, had to go around the road again, but this time he observed the situation on the road more carefully, especially when he came to the corner, he was knocking around like archaeology.
On the wall at the second corner, there was something like a button just a little above the edge of the darkness, and Fan Wu pressed it to hear a rumbling sound of the wall moving.
A door opened in the front wall where it was supposed to turn right, and in front of it was a new passageway, which was as dark as old above half of the wall, but the ground was shining red.
