[No pop-up novel website] Shen Tao's idea means that there are no torches in the middle of the team, so he can only follow the people in front of him to upgrade indefinitely] Fortunately, they only have fourteen people in total, and the number is not large, and the team is not The president's passage can accommodate three people walking side by side, but in order to make it less crowded, two people walk side by side, which means there are seven rows in total. If everyone gets closer, the torches at the beginning and end can still slightly illuminate the two in the middle. people
Not knowing how long it would be dark ahead, Tensor nodded and expressed his agreement with Shen Tao's proposal.
Soon everyone determined their respective positions in the team. Xie Hao and Qin Tianbao from Zhuqi Villa each held a torch and walked at the front of the team. The people in front were all from Zhuqi Villa, and Yan Bihai from Yunlong Sword Sect. and Zhang Chuming each held a torch and walked at the back of the team. Chen Feifan and Xiao Mufeng walked in the second to last row of the team. In front of them were Shen Tao and Shen Fei.
Because the light was much darker than before, everyone moved forward more carefully than before.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xie Hao, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted: "There is light ahead."
Taking a few more steps forward, Chen Feifan also saw that there was indeed a glimmer of light diagonally above him far away from him.
Since there was light, of course everyone would not stop, so they continued walking up the stone steps.
It didn't take long, and everyone quickly arrived at the place where there was light. The light shone from above about ten feet above the stone steps, and it passed through a small square hole. Judging from the light, it should be the sunlight from outside.
"Shine the torch upwards," said Zhang Liang
Xie Hao and Qin Tianbao immediately raised the torches high, and saw that in addition to the entrance of the cave, there was a circle around them. It was obvious that there was a stone slab above them [ww]
"You two jump on it and see if you can open it," Tensor ordered again.
The height of one foot is nothing to those who know Qinggong. The two handed the torch to the person behind them, then jumped up and lifted the stone slab away with both hands.
Without the obstruction of the stone slabs, the dazzling sunlight shines in from above without any hindrance, making it difficult to open one's eyes for a while.
The two people jumped out from the entrance of the cave, stepped on some soft soil, and looked around. On one side was a cliff, and on the other side was a very steep slope, so bare that ordinary animals could not reach it. climb up
"Master, this road is gone," Qin Tianbao said loudly toward the cave.
The dazzling sunlight illuminated the cave entrance clearly. Chen Feifan discovered that the cave entrance was surrounded by stone walls on three sides except for the road he came from. There was indeed no road.
Tensor and Shen Tao jumped out of the cave entrance together and looked around. There was indeed no road here. The steep slope was going down the mountain. There was a large forest below the steep slope. The Tianxia Sword should not be hidden below. Could it be Just below the cliff? The two of them didn't dare to take such a big risk, so they both felt that it would be better to go back the way they came. Since there are four entrances to the cave, there must be a scam. They are both veterans, so naturally the more cautious the better.
Everyone returned the same way, and when they arrived at the entrances of the four caves, they saw two disciples from Hongyan Sect standing there.
"Everyone," one of the women said, "You must have not found the real entrance. Senior Sister Shang asked us two to stand here because we have found the real entrance. Several other sects have already entered, and it's just you who are missing."
Tensor Liang and Shen Tao looked at each other without saying anything. Tensor Liang nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
The two female disciples from Hongyan Sect led the way, and everyone followed them into the second hole on the right.
The cave was also dark, and everyone had to light their torches. After about three-quarters of an hour of walking forward in a zigzag manner, there was light in the cave, and they could see the stone walls every dozens of steps on both sides. There is a torch lit
"This is what was lit when we first entered." Another woman from Hongyanmen accompanying us explained.
Everyone walked forward for more than ten steps, and saw a large number of dead bats lying on the ground. Except for the pair of wings, those bats were as big as a cat, which was very scary.
"It's a vampire bat," Shen Tao said
"We lit the torch and met these bats," the woman said lightly, as if she was not afraid of these vampire bats at all.
Continuing forward, after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, suddenly there were faint voices in front of me. The road that could have been used by three people walking side by side became wider and wider. By the time I saw dozens of people in front of me, it was already wide enough. There are about ten people walking in parallel.
"Master Zhang," Lin Yaokun turned around and stepped forward.
"Shaoxia Lin, who are you?" Tensor asked.
"Oh, there are some dangers here. You have to go there one by one." Lin Yaokun replied. Seeing that Chen Feifan and Xiao Mufeng were also there, he hurriedly came over to say hello.
When everyone heard that there was danger here, they all went up to see what was going on. It turned out that there was a deep ditch not far in front of them. The dark wind was blowing upwards in the ditch. It was also a big ditch, with four or five feet between the two sides. It's so far. Fortunately, there are two hemp ropes in the middle. Lin Yaokun said that we can go over one by one, just go through those two hemp ropes.
Fortunately, everyone knows Qinggong. With a few taps on the hemp rope, you can leap to the other side of this deep ditch. But now it takes a while to pass one by one.
After passing this deep ravine, and continuing forward, the road slowly began to become narrower again, until it returned to the point where only three people could walk abreast.
"How's the situation ahead, Miss Shang?" Zhang Liang asked Shang Lin, who was walking next to Lin Yaokun.
"Master Zhang, this little girl doesn't know either." Shang Lin shook her head in embarrassment.
"Isn't this your Hongyan Sect informing everyone that this is the correct path?" Tensor said with some confusion.
Shang Lin smiled and said: "We found that there was a door in front of us that was blocked, but we couldn't open it, so we went back the way we came. We saw Gang Leader Qian and Senior Li from Fantian Valley also back to where they were. After asking, we felt I don’t know which path is the right one, Master Zhang, which one of you is in good condition?”
"Ours is also a dead end," Tensor replied.
