Chapter 182: The Dungeon (Second Update)

PS, I wrote it in a hurry yesterday, I made a revision in the morning, and friends who have subscribed can re-read it from 181. The plot of the past few days has a foreshadowing component, so be patient!

At the entrance of the cave, there are some horizontal and vertical stones, which are dark and unclear.

Wang Qi immediately turned around and looked at the three forks in the cave for a long time. Then he tapped with his hand here and there, and finally he chose the rightmost one and walked in.

Of course, he chose the right side for his reasons, and it was not without purpose. Because he felt that ding-dong, ding-dong water, was closest to the right.

If according to what he thought, the underground will keep turning, then after walking into these three different roads, the final destination will definitely be different?

These three forks should have one or two caves, and it is impossible to get through to the end. In order to confuse the public, so that others cannot find the real secrets underground.

That's why Wang Qi knocked left and right, listening to the echo of the wall to judge how deep the tunnel dug in the cave was.

If you ask, can this also be heard?

Of course, it can be heard.

And it is no secret that judging the distance according to the echo.

There is another way, which is by throwing stones.

For example, there is a well here, and if you want to know whether this well is deep or not.

If you throw a stone, you can tell whether the well is deep or shallow by the length of time it echoes.

The echo is fast, and the sound is crisp, indicating that the well is not very deep. The echo did not return for a long time, and the popping sound of the stone was tinged with a dullness, indicating that the well was far from the ground.

Similarly, throwing a stone at the entrance of the cave has a fast echo and a short time, indicating that the entrance to the cave is shallow. On the contrary, the hole is very deep. That is, you can't hear the echo directly. Or very little echo.

After dawn, the magnificent light that Wang Qi found last night had faded a lot, but when he looked closely, he could still vaguely see the source of the light.

It turned out to be the light coming from the inside of the cave, and the cave was black, and it was all heavy sand and stones, so where did the light come from?

Generally, like in a cave, there is such a light, it is nothing more than something underneath. This light, of course, is the light emitted by the things under the ground, shining directly into it.

Now Wang Qi is trying to find the source of this light.

After entering the cave on the right, Wang Qi lit the fire fold on his body, and when he walked about fifty meters away, there was a dark gray stone door.

The dark gray stone door, like the eyes of a giant beast, stared at him fiercely.

If it weren't for Wang Qi's knowledge of formations and his familiarity with the general terrain and landforms, he would not have been able to discover the stone gate in the hidden layer of dirt walls.

Ordinary people, when they walk here, see that there is no road, and most of them will change back the same way.

But Wang Qi found that the edge of the stone gate was a little damp. If it weren't for the water source inside, this stone gate wouldn't be wet.

Then he thought of the occasional tinkling of water.

So he "banged" the punch and shattered the stone door.

When that punch was thrown, Wang Qi didn't have much hope. After all, people have always said that there are treasures underground, but that kind of luck is not something that everyone can encounter.

Wang Qi would not be naïve to think that he could really find something strange if he strayed here this time.

When the loud "boom" sound came, Wang Qi was startled by the sound. He subconsciously moved his body back a few steps.

It wasn't until nothing unusual appeared that he poked his head forward, only to suddenly find a stone staircase that led directly underground.

When he looked down, he only saw a swarthy patch of the ground, and from inside, there was a strange smell.

He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and waited for a while.

Fortunately, when the cave was first opened, the others avoided it for a while, and it seemed that there was a secret room underneath, because it had been closed for too long, and the hole would be opened up a gap.

Because of the long-term closure, the poisonous gas produced suddenly dissipated a lot.

Wang Qi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, isn't there an ancient tomb underneath? Generally, the appearance of such stone steps underneath indicates that there is a large space underneath, and it may also be an underground burial chamber.

Generally, the ancient imperial tombs or some rich and status people will go underground and make a big move.

In order to test the reality below, Wang Qi continued to choose to throw stones and ask for directions.

He threw a stone bigger than his two hands down, and after half a bang, he heard a crisp echo of a ding-dong.

If it's mud, it won't make such a sound, it's mostly a "bang", and it's very dull.

But the sound was like hitting something like porcelain.

Generally, when the stone touches a relatively hard surface, or the surface of an object such as smooth ceramic, it will have the sound of gold and jade.

Wang Qi wanted to look forward more carefully, but he didn't want to, one of his feet suddenly loosened, and then he fell down like this.

He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, because at this time, the fire fold in his hand also fell.

So he tried his best to raise his breath and began to stabilize his body, after all, he was also a martial arts practitioner. This technique of ups and downs is not proficient, but he also knows that if he uses force, he will minimize his descent speed to the slowest possible.

But the result was unexpected by Wang Qi, before he could get ready, one foot touched the ground.

I didn't even fall down directly.

Fortunately, the fire was very stubborn and did not go out immediately.

Vaguely, he could see clearly where he was in front of him, and Wang Qi was surprised again.

A stone door had just been opened, and a huge heavy stone door was seen.

This door, and the previous one, is diametrically opposed, thick and simple to imagine.

The color of the stone gate is almost the same as the dark gray of the cave.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a beast face with a huge mouth on that door, Wang Qi wouldn't have seen that this place was really a stone gate.

This stone gate is really very tall and heavy, as tall as the two of them.

Wang Qi was originally eight feet tall, as tall as the two of him. It is conceivable that this stone gate must be tall and heavy.

Looking closely at the vicinity of this stone gate, what Wang Qi saw was no longer a dry ash-like totem pattern, but a real ancient totem.

The wall at the entrance of the cave and the top of the wall cave are carved with very complicated patterns, and when Wang Qi takes off his coat, on the wall, there is a friction, and after wiping the wall on that side, he finds that the wall is all made of granite from the white jade class.

It's just that the outside of the granite has been corroded because of the passage of time, and finally there are layers of dark gray dirt.

At this time, he was rubbed by Wang Qi, and the real ancient totem turned out to be a serpentine monster.

But it was the body of a horned snake, with only one foot on its body, and it was gray in color.

Wang Qi only felt familiar when he saw the totem at first, but when he thought about it, he was really shocked, and suddenly thought that he had seen the pattern of this snake-like monster in his dream.

No wonder it feels familiar.
