Chapter 760: The Obscured Entrance
Yan Saburo pondered for a few breaths before he said slowly: "Yes." ”
This is Zhang Yunsheng's own choice, and besides, the ground rift has been opened, and it must be closed in the end.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. Yan Saburo had good ears and heard the sound of a fight in the distance underground, followed by strange roars and roars.
Soon, the sound was gone.
After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Shi Congyi said to him with a serious face: "You'd better come and see this." ”
Yan Saburo was not good at walking, so Shi Congyi ordered the carriage to move forward and slowly drive into the cracks in the ground.
"You two are hiding in the car and chatting, and I have sent someone down to investigate. Shi Congyi pointed to the ground in front of him, "We met this thing after less than a hundred feet of advancement, and it attacked the spies with great ferocity, so we had to kill it." ”
The cracks in the ground were getting darker and darker, and if it hadn't been for the torches to illuminate it, I would have been out of sight of my fingers. When Yan Saburo saw the things on the ground, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
The white cat approached the window early, and when it saw it, its round pupils that were dilated in the darkness suddenly shrank.
"What is this?"
There was a corpse crooked on the rock, looking like a dog, but hairless, with protruding eyes and a large mouth, and most strangely, two heads. One in the front and one in the back.
But now the monster was pierced through the heart, and blood was pouring all over the ground.
The blood was red, just like the dog.
"When it was alive, one head spat fire, and the other spewed poison, injuring two of my soldiers. Shi Congyi said hatefully, and stepped forward to kick it.
But before he could touch the monster on tiptoe, the thing suddenly jumped up and bit back!
That mouth could be opened up to one hundred and twenty degrees, and dozens of fangs were exposed. If Shi Congyi is bitten, the leg bone will be shattered, after all, this monster seems to have an amazing bite force, and there are at least dozens of blood holes on the leg and stomach.
Don't forget, this thing is poisonous in the mouth.
This time the elbow and armpit appeared, and Shi Congyi was also shocked, and subconsciously slashed with a knife.
But there was a stone that was faster than him, and it struck the monster first. I only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the monster's head was missed.
The rest of the guards rushed forward and poked it into a pulp.
This time, it was finally too dead to die.
Shi Congyi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and thanked Yan Saburo.
That stone was popped out by Yan Saburo, he couldn't move his back and back, and his fingertips could still exert force.
The cat stared at the monster on the ground, ignoring the little episode, and the boy asked it, "What do you think?"
Chitose was silent.
At that moment, the guards hugged the carriage and continued to move forward.
The gap in the ground became narrower and narrower, and soon only two people could be accommodated side by side. The carriage could not pass, so Shi Congyi sent someone to carry Yan Saburo up the chariot, and two guards made a cameo appearance as a sedan chair man, carrying him forward.
More than ten torches lit up the surroundings, and Yan Saburo looked around and found that his party had walked into the bottom of the mountain, and there were huge rocks up and down, left and right.
Such a rock is not easy to sharpen with a knife or an axe.
There was not a single bit of dirt in the cracks in the ground, Yan Saburo rubbed a protruding rock surface, and then said to Shi Congyi: "Smash it open." ”
The latter raised his knife and slashed it with a "bang". Sparks flew and the rock was chopped open.
Shi Congyi was dumbfounded: "So hard?" He is also a family heirloom, sharpening iron like clay, not to mention the stones underground?" "Don't be ashamed.
"No, I don't. Tsubazaburo looked closely at the incision, "The rock here looks like it has been melted by high temperatures. ”
The surface of the stone is jet black, but the inside of the incision is grayish-white.
"Maybe there's a fire erupting here. "Shi Congyi has been to the Red Crossbow Volcano and seen the power of earth fire, which is a human being.
"Lava-ridden craters, not like that. "From a crack in the ground to a single rock, the shape is not so sharp.
The veins here seem to have been forcibly torn apart by an inexplicable force and burned with fire.
With a two-headed monster attacking, the group raised their vigilance and followed suit. However, there were no more ambushes along the way, but a lot of bones appeared on the side of the road.
Looking at its shape, it is a creature that no one has ever seen.
The cold sweat on Yan Saburo's forehead continued. No matter how careful the sedan chair man is, the steps will inevitably be bumpy, not to mention that the ground here is uneven. Every time he tosses, it hurts his bones.
At this time, he noticed that the cat was unusual.
Every time it found a white bone, it stared so intently that it tilted its head forward and its tail shook slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Chitose still didn't answer.
Later, the road became wider and wider. After passing through a huge rift, the sound of rushing water was heard in everyone's ears.
Shi Congyi Daqi: "There is groundwater here?"
He also knows a little bit of geography, the soft sand and mud geology tends to accumulate groundwater, but at the bottom of the mountain range made of pure rocks, how does the water flow in?
Is there rain and snow in the ground cracks? The temperature below the ground is much higher than at the surface, and it is already warm compared to the ice and snow on the ground.
But listening to the sound, there is an abundance of water.
The white cat stood up at once.
has been together for many years, and Yan Saburo can judge from just this one action: it is very nervous.
Go further and suddenly it will be clear:
There was an underground river in front of him, the width was only twenty zhang, but the drop was very large, and the river water could rush out of the momentum of thousands of troops, crashing into the reef on both banks, and the flying beads and splashing jade turned into a curling mist.
When you get here, it's no longer dark underground, because the light shines from the other side of the river.
The opposite side seems to be the underground exit, and everyone can even feel the sun shining outside the cave, illuminating thousands of purples and reds.
Yes, as long as the mist lifts a little, people can see the flowers blooming on the opposite bank, bewitching, wanton, and unrestrained, until the end of the view.
Yan Saburo is proficient in pharmacology, so he can naturally identify many plants, but he can hardly name the flowers and plants here.
Except for one:
This kind of flower is as big as the mouth of a bowl, bright red is better than blood, the petals are rolled back like dragon claws, and the thin core is like a silk needle and like a spider's foot. At first glance, it is not as luxurious as the peony, not as delicate as the begonia, and not as fruitful as the camellia.
But it has a strong and bewitching beauty, which just makes people can't take their eyes off it.
This is the famous flower of the other side, a strange flower that grows in the netherworld according to legend.
However, most people's eyes are not focused on the other side of the flower, and there is one thing here that is more eye-catching.
In the middle of the river, a huge scythe falls.
The blade is curved like a snake's teeth, but the length reaches an astonishing two zhang (nearly seven meters), and the handle is even longer, four zhang (thirteen meters), and it is black and I don't know what material it is made of.
The handle of this giant scythe was pressed against the bank, but the tip of the knife was pierced into the river, almost forming an irregular triangle with the surface of the river and the ground.
Shi Congyi glared at the black scythe and muttered, "What the hell is this!"
