Chapter 429: Falling into the Demon Cave to Solve the Mystery
"Let's go." After the experiment, Joan confidently stepped on the first one, safe!
One, three, five, seven, nine! All safe, they summed up their lips and had a certain amount of experience, and when they reached the center, they saw that the steps were falling steeply, and General Cheng was about to take a step, Qiao An suddenly took his hand.
"Old Cheng, it won't be that simple!" Shen Qiaoan threw the last pebble in his hand, and the pebble jumped, and the arrows on both sides went hand in hand.
"Go double, not single!" Qiao An reminded them to continue to move forward, seeing that victory was in sight, both of them were happy, but the steps turned into a sea of fluctuations, and Qiao An and General Cheng couldn't help themselves no matter how they stabilized their bodies, and went to the bottom.
Under their feet was a pale green lawn, and the two of them landed on it, and suddenly it felt wrong.
Qiao An took either to retract his feet, it was too late, there was an endless black hole in front of him, General Cheng was quick-eyed, flew over and hugged Qiao An, and the two stumbled and rolled into the bottomless pit.
By the time they reached the bottom of the cave, both of them had passed out.
When Shen Qiaoan opened his eyes again, he saw a person squatting beside him in the darkness, "General Cheng?" Although the situation was so dangerous, and despite General Cheng's own bad luck, he still sent his true power to Qiao An through the palm of his hand.
Shen Qiao'an was very moved, she struggled slightly, and the Lingtai gradually became clear, "Okay, General Cheng, I'm fine." General Cheng helped Qiao An to get up, the two rested for a long time, and General Cheng said: "I'll find the way, let's go out!" This old fox really has no last resort. ”
If it weren't for the fact that the man was recommended by Sister Hong, she would almost suspect that they had been fooled.
General Cheng looked behind him, there was soft floating soil on both sides of the cave, and with a little force, the soil moved like quicksand, and General Cheng got up cautiously and told Qiao An about these findings.
"Since you can't go back, let's see what's going on in front of you." Shen Qiao'an coughed lightly, got up slowly, and General Cheng gave the sword scabbard to Qiao An.
Joan used the scabbard as a dagger and walked forward.
General Cheng was afraid that there was danger ahead, so he hurriedly took the first step to explore the way, Qiao An told him to be careful, and after a while, General Cheng retreated with a pale face.
"How?"
"It's so, it's weird." Although General Cheng is a big boss, he has gone through many dynasties, and he has already cultivated without panic, what makes a well-trained person have a shock in his eyes?
Shen Qiaoan quickly arrived at the entrance of the cave and looked at it from a distance, at this moment, her complexion could not see anywhere, he saw a lot of houses, thousands of houses, scattered.
In the middle of these houses, there were neat lanes, and on both sides of the lanes there were street trees, probably old and decayed, and there were beautiful stars in the sky overhead, which should be spars embedded in the dome.
The stone was bright, and it had not dimmed in the slightest after many years, and there was a dragon banner fluttering above the city, so mottled that it was impossible to distinguish even the original color.
It's an empty city!
So many houses were empty, there was no one around, there was no breath of life, and the wind blew the five taels on the bridge, and the five taels swayed on the iron rods, making a strange sound.
The two of them have experienced many strange things in their lives, but where have they ever seen such a strange scene?
"Is this hell?" General Cheng's jaw was about to fall to the ground, and a wind blew from the empty city, and the two of them shivered at the same time.
"Are you still going inside?" General Cheng has always emphasized the so-called "courage to move forward", but the fear at this moment has made him involuntarily want to retreat.
Human fear comes from the unknown.
If there were graves in front of them, they would be much calmer, but what happened to the houses in front of them? Let life be lost here, what about the people here? Did they hide, or did they escape? Where is this?
Countless questions are like balls floating in water.
"We have no way out, and I finally know what it means to be on this shore and on the other side." Joan feels like there's a huge secret just around the corner.
"Go inside." Qiao An said to General Cheng: "This road has dragged you down, if I am in danger, you will find a way to escape, don't help me anymore." ”
"No!"
General Cheng still chose not to give up.
The two continued to walk forward, and Qiao An approached the empty city, "General, you can roar with great spirits." General Cheng didn't know why Qiao An wanted to yell at him, he thought it was to strengthen his courage, but he really yelled.
Then, the sonic wave destroyed the dragon banner on the top of the city and the wooden poles used for the street lamps, and the harsh doors, windows, and wooden structures on the buildings were all turned into powder.
"As I expected." Qiao An took a deep breath and walked forward with General Cheng, the two of them went to the city tower and found that there were many spears and shields, General Cheng picked them up and patted them, "The wooden pole has rotted but the spear is brand new." ”
He and his party said, and the group picked up a long knife and gave it to Qiao An for safety, and Shen Qiao An held it.
The two went up to the city tower, and Qiao An couldn't help but sigh when he saw it: "What a huge and magnificent world." "This world exists underground, and so far they don't know who built this dungeon.
The two of them entered the house and found that there were traces of the lives of ordinary people in each of them, but they didn't know why, as if an unexpected disaster had come and taken away all the lives here.
Joan and General Cheng sensed fear in each other's eyes.
On the first day, the two of them entered the outer city and found that there were pods in the farmland, which had matured many years ago, and the beans had taken root and grew vigorously.
Although it seems that this empty city has some ideas, but the source of living water is still surging, the two drank water, picked some vegetables and plants to eat, and after General Cheng said: "What a perverted place, it seems that the king here wants to imprison every one of his people." ”
"Or maybe that's the reason for them to escape." Shen Qiaoan guessed.
The king built water conservancy for the people to live on, and inlaid many pearls and crystals on the walls and domes, which filled the place with bright light both day and night.
On the second day, Qiao An made some cooking cakes with the help of farm tools, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, they continued to wander around the empty city, which was indeed very large, and every road on the periphery could lead to the Ziwei Palace in the middle, but the path extended to the end was a wall.
On this day, they measured the outer edge of the empty city with their steps, and both of them were dumbfounded, this empty city is really big!
On the third day, the two of them were at a loss, Qiao An thought it was fun, but General Cheng fell into a low ebb of emotions, and after eating, Qiao An said, "Do you believe it?" There is an exit here, there must be! ”
"Where, where?" General Cheng got up happily and stared at Qiao An, Shen Qiao An was just looking at Mei to quench her thirst, she was like General Cheng, and there was no surprise to find.
"We need to find another one more today." Jo Ann knew that such an environment was life-threatening.
In fact, their biggest enemy at the moment is no longer this empty city, but themselves.
On the third day, the two entered the Ziwei Palace, and the floor at the entrance of the Ziwei Palace was inlaid with a lot of pearls, and the Big Dipper above their heads reflected each other.
"The Lord of the Beidou is born, the Lord of the South Dipper is dead, for a lifetime, what is the meaning of this?" Joan touched her chin, now so engrossed in her thoughts that she had long forgotten about her condition.
And after this series of customs clearances, her illness seems to be gradually improving, General Cheng pointed to the door of Ziwei Palace, and found that there were many corpses.
It was the only corpse they had seen, the bones were scattered and disorganized, as if two enemies were fighting viciously and then dying together.
Joan looked at the wooden door.
"What does it mean to die in one life?" Shen Qiao'an gently stroked the wooden door, the door was hard, there was no sign of corruption, and even the lock on the door seemed to be brand new.
"Oops, look at it!" Shen Qiaoan pointed to the chicken coop-like copper lock to show General Cheng, General Cheng couldn't help but be shocked when he glanced at it, in such a closed environment, there was dust everywhere, but there was no dust on this lock.
"Someone has been here!" The two of them approached vigilantly, staring back to back into the distance, and there seemed to be some demons and monsters surging in the endless darkness.
"Whew!" In the Ziwei Palace, there was a heart-rending roar, and the clouded leopard-like cry continued endlessly, passing from inside.
"What kind of monster is doing here?!" General Cheng drew his sword and cut the chains on the door, waiting to go inside to find out.
The wolf's howling scream gradually disappeared, Shen Qiaoan squatted on the ground to examine the bones, the thrilling battle was like in front of her, she closed her eyes and seemed to be able to see what blood and fire they had experienced back then.
"Whew!"
In that Ziwei Palace, there seems to be some chilling monster imprisoned.
"Do you want to go inside?" General Cheng pointed to the door, Qiao touched the wooden door, looked at the lock again, and decided to go over the wall to find out with General Cheng.
After the two entered the Ziwei Palace, they found that the courtyard of the Ziwei Palace also had a vegetable garden next to the source of living water in the outside world, and after passing the atrium, the two sides were symmetrical rooms, and there was a palace in the center.
"Old Cheng!" Seeing that General Daocheng turned around and was about to go to the front, Shen Qiaoan coughed lightly, picked up the spear on the ground, and tried it everywhere on the steps.
The Five Elements Bagua technique of the people who built this royal capital was really amazing, she had to be careful, the spear was thrown on the ground, and it did not touch any machine spring, Shen Qiaoan was a lot relieved, and entered the main hall of Ziwei Palace with General Cheng.
The main hall was cold, as if they had entered an infernal hell, Qiao An and General Cheng were almost forced back by that coldness, and the two of them continued to walk forward with their weapons in their hands.
According to their previous judgment, the sound of the monster's chirping must have come from here, but when they arrived, they found that the house was empty, and there was nothing left in the courtyard except for a tree.
Be quiet!
Gravely quiet!
"Good boy! It's really strange, it's clear that there was a ghost crying wolf howling just now? General Cheng touched his head and was about to step forward, Qiao An squatted on the ground and picked up a small black spindle-like particle, "Look at this." ”
In this way, General Cheng realized that this was a jujube pit.
He pointed to the tree and showed Joan, "I really can't imagine that dates can ripen in such a harsh environment." ”
Qiao An remembered that she went to Luo Huaiyi's side some time ago, and when she went to Luo Huaiyi's hotel, she saw a lot of jujube trees, which can take root and sprout on very harsh mounds, and are completely unaffected by the season.
"The beast is around here, let's be careful." The two found a lot of jujube pits in the courtyard glaze.
Dates do not rot after they fall to the ground, and even if they are dried, they can still be eaten as food, which is the secret of the beast's survival.
