Chapter 8 Underground Passages
Judging from the traces of the scene, the chaos in this place obviously used a lot of external forces, but the strange thing is that Seinfeld and the others were not far from this place, and they didn't notice that there was an abnormality just now.
There was no firelight here, the night became darker, and Seinfeld's face darkened with it.
"Stop the noise and immediately gather the backbone of the gang. Seinfeld said with a dark face.
"Yes. Wang Shishi said with a straight face, turned around and left.
"Wait. Seinfeld stopped Wang Shishi again, and Wang Shishi turned her head and waited for Seinfeld's order.
"You inform the second uncle of the situation here in detail, and you will assist the second uncle in making full decisions about the search. Seinfeld said.
"Helper, you?" Wang Shishi was taken aback.
Seinfeld waved his hand: "I'm fine, I don't have time to discuss it with everyone, I'll use the escape charm to sneak into the mountain peak to see if there is anything strange about this mountain, you and the second uncle are responsible for searching outside." When necessary, contact with the seized transmission notes. ”
There are two transmission notes, one from Zhao Tianying and Yan Canghai, one in Seinfeld's hand, and the other in Qin Shihu's hand. Under normal circumstances, it is naturally not easy to use, because once this transmission note is used, it is likely to be intercepted by the enemy within ten miles.
But once it comes to the critical moment, it doesn't care so much.
"Make good use of your wisdom to assist the second uncle. Seinfeld looked at Wang Shishi's eyes very seriously, and after saying this, his body slowly sank and merged into the rock.
"Helper, I'll try. Wang Shishi looked at the ground where Seinfeld had completely disappeared, said softly, and then resolutely turned around and walked towards the crowd in the middle of the bonfire.
At the same time, the corners of Wang Shishi's mouth let out a sharp long roar, which was the early warning signal agreed by everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Hearing this kind of long howl is like facing a great enemy.
Soon, the crowd who were still immersed in joy stopped very tacitly and quickly looked up in the direction of the long roar.
At the end of the mountaintop, Qin Shihu was like a swallow, fluttering in front of Wang Shishi, with a heavy look on his cold face, and asked, "Shishi, what's the matter?"
"Second master, there was an unexpected situation, I'll make a long story short. ”
After a while, everyone gathered, and Qin Shihu issued the first order: "Xiao Ru is gone, immediately check the traces around you, whether there are any traces of strangers appearing, and also call the vigilant brother if there are any clues." Focus on finding footprints. ”
Qin Xiaoru disappeared, and the first suspicion in Seinfeld's heart was naturally the white animal described by the two women, although he didn't understand the animal's motive for committing the crime, but Seinfeld didn't empathize with an animal's thoughts at the moment.
Judging by the way the animal appeared, it should have been hiding near the top of the mountain, probably in a cave not far from the top.
If you go from braving the bitter cold weather to check the entrance of the cave, it is far less than what Seinfeld is doing now, using the magic of the Escape Talisman to quickly shuttle through the surface of the mountain, using a carpet search to find possible caves.
Seinfeld's figure kept shuttling through the rocks and soil, but the entire mountain was too wide, and Seinfeld still didn't have any clues after searching for a while.
The more he couldn't find it, the more he couldn't find it, and Seinfeld's calm and extraordinary heart began to become a little irritable.
"Wonder why emotions are so easy to get out of control. Seinfeld muttered, "Calm down, you must be calm." ”
"When. ”
Just as Seinfeld was searching among the dirt and rocks at full speed, he suddenly heard a bang, and his eyes randomly appeared with Venus, and he was dizzy, and he almost fainted.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain came from the top of his head, and with the help of the power of the pain, Seinfeld did not fall unconscious, and endured the pain, Seinfeld first checked his injuries.
Only then did I find that the top of my head was scraped off by an unknown thing, and I dipped it with my hands, and my scalp was covered with blood.
"It's a good thing it's a minor injury. Seinfeld was glad that just now it was just a thin layer of scalp on his head that hit something unknown, otherwise if his whole head had been bumped into it, with the extremely fast speed of the Escape Talisman, his head would have been like a smashed watermelon by now.
Taking out a simple bandaging tool from the storage ring, smearing it with the Golden Warehouse Medicine, and bandaging it briefly, Seinfeld immediately checked what he had just touched.
However, what fell into Seinfeld's eyes was not anything strange, but just like the objects around him now, all of them were rocks.
Seinfeld slowly ran over, came to the place he had just hit, and gently touched it with his hand, only to find that the place where he had just hit himself was also a rock, but the strange thing was that the rock in this place could not be shuttled with a talisman.
What's even more strange is that when Seinfeld touched this layer of rock with both hands, Seinfeld didn't hear the prompt of the god-level exchange system in his mind, so it can be inferred that this rock is not a very special rock, but on the contrary, the escape talisman cannot escape into it.
"No, what is this?" Just as Seinfeld slowly touched the rock with his hand, he suddenly felt a little wrong, and the part he touched was very neat and smooth.
If it is a stone that is naturally raised, it should not be as smooth as a mirror.
Thinking of this, Seinfeld quickly touched the rock surface that he couldn't escape.
"Sure enough. Seinfeld found that the rock was not a huge piece, but like marble, and there was a gap in the middle, but this gap was so cleverly made that between the gaps, there was no way to insert a needle.
Next, Seinfeld discovered that the similar rocks here were not large, and they were made up of pieces of rock, much like the structure of a man-made house.
"Underground vaults, or underground passages?" a thought quickly crossed Seinfeld's mind.
The mysterious stone can stop the escape charm, and the mysterious beast is extraordinarily fast. Seinfeld faintly felt in his heart that there might be a connection between the two, and after he didn't find Qin Xiaoru in a hurry, Seinfeld was like a man who fell into the sea saw a canoe, regardless of whether the canoe could withstand the wind and waves, at least, it brought hope to the people who fell into the sea to survive.
When Seinfeld saw this set of walls, he seemed to see the hope of rescuing Qin Xiaoru.
Seinfeld soon discovered that the set of walls was surrounded on all sides, and the other two sides stretched a long distance.
"It's a passage, a big passage. Seinfeld said secretly in his heart. Then follow the direction of the wall, and quickly flee to one side, since it is a wall, then there should always be an entrance, and it should always be right to find an intersection along the wall.
It's just that the passage extends to both sides, and he doesn't know which direction is correct, Seinfeld can only pray in his heart, hoping that the direction he is now running away is the right one, so as to reduce the time to rescue Qin Xiaoru.
This time he was lucky, after about half a minute or so of Seinfeld's escape, Seinfeld suddenly found a fault on the smooth rock surface, and Seinfeld was overjoyed, and immediately followed this fault and the whole person escaped in.
Immediately after, Seinfeld walked through the rocks and found himself in a passage, where he was standing, in fact, there was no exit, the so-called exit had been blocked by a layer of ordinary rocks, if it weren't for Seinfeld's escape charm through the ordinary rocks, he would not be able to easily find this underground secret realm.
Seinfeld turned around, and the two sides of the passage were about five meters wide and four meters high, which seemed very spacious.
It stands to reason that the passage buried in the ground should be pitch black.
In this passage, Seinfeld found that every five meters or so, there was a fluorescent stone the size of a goose egg, which made the underground passage, which should have been extremely dark, glow with a dim yellow light.
The further forward the passage became, the darker it became, and as for what was at the end of the passage, with Seinfeld's eyes, he couldn't see it clearly.
Seinfeld was now struggling with time, and he didn't have time to stay longer, and began to observe both sides of the passage as he sprinted towards the interior of the passage.
Every five steps, a relief is carved on each side of the passage.
The content of the relief is a humanoid creature with an extra eye on its forehead, two pairs of pairs, and a ** upper body. It's just that this humanoid creature has a mouth that is more than twice as large as an ordinary person, two pointed ears, a nose ring on its nose, and its eyes are wide open, looking a little hideous and terrifying.
Each relief depicts this humanoid creature, but when each relief is painted, the form and action are different, there are standing, sitting, sideways and so on.
The only thing that is the same is that the carvings of each relief are lifelike, if you don't know that this is a relief, you really think that there are creatures standing in front of you, and the master who carved these reliefs is extraordinary.
Just about ten seconds after running, Seinfeld found that there were a lot of white bones scattered on the rocky ground of the passage, and these white bones, from Seinfeld's experience, could be seen at a glance as human bones.
The dim environment, with its white bones, shrouds this passage with an eerie feeling.
And as he went deeper and deeper, the scattered white bones became more and more, and several complete humanoid skeletons appeared.
And in the end, the ground was full of white bones, and in several places, the white human bones were like carpets, covering a full layer, and Seinfeld could only step on the white bones to advance.
As Seinfeld stepped on it, the originally seemingly solid skeleton turned into pieces.
These skeletons, I don't know how many years they have existed here, have been corroded by the years and completely lost the internal structure of the bone.
"What the hell is this place, Xiaoru must not have an accident. The deeper he went, the more Seinfeld had a bad premonition.
"Dangerous. In front of him, a sharp sword aura slashed out, approaching Seinfeld's legs.
The sword qi was sharp and fast, and it came suddenly, and Seinfeld immediately tightened his nerves, and urgently ran the willow catkins body technique, narrowly avoiding this sword qi.
"Who sneaked up on it?" Seinfeld shouted at the pile of skeletons, expecting that the person who sneaked up on the attack should use clever methods to hide in the pile of skeletons. Seinfeld guessed right, but only half right. As Seinfeld's words fell, the entire pile of skeletons slowly scattered, and a humanoid object emerged from below.
