"No, come back quickly!" Chen Tao shouted to the people in the distance.
No one noticed him. Those people seemed to have completely lost consciousness, with expressions of despair and pain. Each and every one of them walked forward with difficulty, half-hunched over, like a walking zombie.
"Wake up, don't leave again!" Chen Tao rushed to Uncle Long and shook his body vigorously.
However, Uncle Long seemed not to feel it at all and had no reaction at all. He was still walking forward with his head lowered. There is a cliff ahead. If this continues, they will all die!
"What to do, what to do!" Chen Tao's mind was about to explode. He alone could not stop so many people.
He rushed to the front of the crowd. It was a person he didn't know, but he couldn't care less. He held the person's waist and pushed him back hard.
"Wake up quickly!"
But it was of no use. Even if Chen Tao pushed him to the ground, the man got up and continued moving forward, unable to stop him at all.
"What should we do!" Chen Tao looked at these people anxiously. If they were not stopped, they would jump off the cliff.
In a panic, he saw a climbing rope carried on the back of a person, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Rope...rope!"
He rushed to the man's side in a few steps, struggled to pull the climbing rope off him, and ran like crazy towards the nearest boulder.
Chen Tao grabbed a rope end, quickly circled the boulder twice, and made a tight buckle.
Then, he grabbed the other end of the rope and circled the zombie-like crowd from a distance.
Wait until you reach the boulder on the opposite side, continue to circle it twice, and then run into the crowd. This goes back and forth, like a spider weaving a cobweb, until only a short section of the climbing rope is left in his hand. At this time, Chen Tao is already out of breath.
He knew that there was no way he could stop so many people by himself, so he could only use climbing ropes and huge rocks to stop them.
The rope was tangled in twists and turns between the people and the boulder, and was knocked straight. Chen Tao tied the remaining piece around his waist and hugged a huge boulder with all his strength.
"But you must hold on! If you don't wake up, there's nothing I can do!"
Maybe Chen Tao was lucky, or maybe they didn't deserve to die. The seemingly impossible method worked unexpectedly at this time.
The people who were advancing were blocked by ropes. The climbing ropes entangled among the crowds and boulders disrupted their stress-bearing structure. The people who were originally moving forward alone changed the direction of force due to the conduction of the rope. You pulled me, I pulled you, and they stopped unexpectedly. Although they were still struggling hard, they could not move forward any further.
"Physics teacher, I fucking love you!" Chen Tao hugged the boulder in front of him like an octopus and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he hadn't been happy for long when he felt a sudden force behind him, followed by a loud noise. The boulder that was entangled at first was pulled a little, and then the stone tilted and fell heavily. On the ground. Ropes and boulders were unable to stop these people, and even the boulders were torn down.
"It's over..."
What happened in the fantasy was still vivid in his mind. Could it be that he could only watch them jump off the cliff one by one and be helpless?
The crowd was still moving forward, and even if Chen Tao tried his best, he could not withstand the combined efforts of so many people. His hands were pulled away by a huge force, and Chen Tao fell to the ground. His heart was full of despair, and he let the rope pull him back.
Just when he was about to give up, the strength in his body suddenly weakened and disappeared.
"What's going on? Why is my door tied!"
"What happened just now? Why did I see myself covered in hair like a slave pulling a golden palace?"
"Me too, I saw you all jump down!"
"How is it possible that so many people have experienced the same thing!"
...
There was a noise behind them, and they suddenly woke up!
Chen Tao got up from the ground with a start, stared blankly at the people in front of him, and almost cried.
"Taotao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Uncle Long. You guys are awake. If you don't wake up, you will all jump off the cliff together!" Chen Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just about to say that these boulders were strange, but I fell into its trap."
"What's going on? We haven't met each other since we've been here for so long. Why are you like this when you come here?" Ye Rong said, rubbing her head.
Uncle Long took out the compass from his body and walked to a boulder. The pointer was spinning like a dance.
"As expected." Uncle Long put away the compass and said, "The problem lies in these rocks!"
"Some stones with strong magnetism can record the surrounding sounds and even images under certain conditions, just like tapes. Those are not hallucinations, but real events that happened thousands of years ago, recorded by these huge stones. Here is An independent small magnetic field area!”
"And what I'm worried about is that the fire oil in these braziers may not be ordinary fire oil. There must be something hallucinogenic in it. Under the catalysis of those sounds, we all entered the hallucination."
"Damn it, it must be the body oil of the soul-destroying rat added to it!" Liang Shaokai said suddenly, staring directly at the brazier on the side.
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"My father... Bah, I've heard of an extremely powerful method that can cause hallucinations in a short period of time. That guy is more powerful than the Mongolian Sweat Potion! If you fall into the trap, you can even take it out of his pocket in front of him. Even after beating him again, there was no reaction. It is said that the main medicine in it is the body oil of the soul-destroying rat!" Liang Shaokai spat, his long eyes swiveling around, as if the illusion just now had no impact on him at all.
Uncle Long seemed to have thought of something, and gave Liang Shaokai a displeased look, but did not say a word.
"Why did you encounter this kind of thing when you came here? We have not been affected here for so long." Ye Rong looked at Chen Tao and his group.
"Could it be that...there is something on us that interferes with the magnetic field here?" Chen Tao wondered.
Everyone looked at each other. What Chen Tao and the others brought was nothing more than some equipment. Compared with Ye Rong and the others, they were almost the same, so it couldn't be a problem with the equipment. Apart from......
Those black jade tokens.
When we were up there, everyone found a lot of jade tablets in the wooden coffins. Almost everyone was holding one. Are those jade tablets also magnetic?
Chen Tao took out the black jade plaque with the word "Hongde" written on it from his pocket and approached a huge stone in front of him. As soon as he got close, there was a faint suction force coming from his hand.
"Go ahead, it's really like this!"
Seeing Chen Tao and the others holding a black jade plaque, Ye Rong asked curiously: "What are you..."
"Didn't you see this sign when you came from the river?" Chen Tao looked at Ye Rong in confusion, but saw her shaking her head.
"We were attacked by those black bugs and rats as soon as we came down. How could we have time to care about these."
"If you want to go in, you have to throw away these jade tokens." Uncle Long glanced at the jade token in his hand and threw it aside.
"I also said that I should go back and speculate. The price for such an ancient black jade plaque is quite good." Boss Zhang threw away the jade plaque with a look of reluctance.
"My life is gone, what's the use of so much money?" Chen Tao also threw away the jade token in his hand.
Yan took pictures of the front and back of the jade plaque with his mobile phone, and muttered: "It seems I can't take it back with me..."
"What to do with the kerosene?" Liang Shaokai asked.
"The illusion is generated by sound. As long as you don't disturb the boulder, there won't be those weird sounds. You have been here for so long, and the kerosene has not had any impact. You should be fine."
"That's right. With so many braziers, do we have to put them out one by one?" Boss Zhang said.
"Girls of the Ye family, did you light these braziers?" Uncle Long asked suddenly, looking at the braziers.
"So..." Ye Rong said helplessly, "When we came up, there was no fire in these braziers, but a light green fluorescence."
"Fluorescence?" Everyone was surprised.
"Yes, those fluorescent lights are very weird, like flames, but also like some kind of liquid."
"What happened next?" Chen Tao asked.
"Later we were blocked and stopped here in a dilemma. During the break, someone threw a cigarette butt into the brazier. Unexpectedly, the fluorescent lights burned instantly, and the braziers were ignited one after another."
"How is this possible?"
"We also thought it was impossible. At first we thought there was some kind of doorway under these stone rats and stone basins, but there was no such thing. Those braziers just burned like that."
Everyone frowned and looked at the braziers. They didn't take it seriously at first, but now they felt more and more weird.
"But as of now, those kerosene did not cause any harm to us." Ye Rong said.
"This place is too weird. Anyway, be careful." Uncle Long greeted again: "Let's go, this time, there shouldn't be that voice..."
Everyone stepped towards the depths of the stone path one after another. Before they had walked a few steps, they heard a familiar and frightening voice coming from the darkness.
Boom...boom...boom...
