After exiting the cave, a chain bridge suddenly appeared in front of it. Under the bridge was a bottomless abyss, and the end could not be seen under the light of a flashlight. The bridge was covered with black vines, and large iron chains as thick as arms stretched from the entrance to the other side, where two huge stone doors could be seen.
"It's the tomb door!" Everyone was overjoyed.
A foreigner with an eagle nose rushed onto the Chain Bridge. Before he could run a few steps, the wooden board under his feet broke instantly, and he fell directly towards the abyss below.
It was considered that he was lucky, he grabbed a thick vine with one hand and hung half of his body in the air.
"Pull me up!" The man shouted for help to the person above.
His cuffs were cut open by the remaining wooden boards as he fell, exposing a large area of skin on his wrists. Black insects emerged from the vines and crawled onto his hands, burrowing into his cuffs.
The foreigner immediately changed his color and his arms began to tremble violently, "Ah!!! Help me!"
One person ran over and grabbed the foreigner's other arm with great effort. The foreigner's other hand was holding on to the thick vine, and despite being pulled by his rescuer, he never let go.
"You should let go!" the person holding him shouted.
"They're biting me! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a black insect emerged from his mouth, and then countless black insects swarmed out like rolling water columns.
Seeing the black insects pouring out, the man who pulled him hurriedly let go and stumbled back. The foreigner didn't even have time to scream, before his whole body was wrapped in those black insects, and soon he turned into a human body, hanging under the bridge like a piece of bacon.
His body still looked like it was grabbing upwards, his face was twisted and horrifying, his jaw was stretched huge, and his mouth was open incredibly. He was dead, but his other hand was still holding on to the thick vine.
"It's those black bugs!"
"How could this happen? Didn't you say that with the potion, you don't have to worry about those bugs?" Ye Rong's eyes widened and she stared at Chen Tao with a gloomy face. The person who died was hers, so she naturally felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"Um..." Looking at Ye Rong, who changed his face faster than a monkey, Chen Tao said innocently, "Didn't you see it along the way? Those insects in the cave didn't do anything to us. Sample."
"Moreover, this place is full of dangers, so be careful in everything. That person is too reckless. Even if there are no black insects, he will still die if he rushes up and gets hit by other traps."
Ye Rong didn't say anything and glared at Chen Tao fiercely. Chen Tao couldn't help but feel frightened: "Have you offended this aunt?"
"I remember little brother Yang mentioned that there is a situation where even potions can't stop those black bugs." Uncle Long said, "When I first came here, there were no black bugs on the bridge. If I guessed it correctly, If it’s wrong, that person just rushed onto the bridge and awakened the dormant bloodthirsty black insects, which is why he ended up like this.”
"But it's strange, why did the wooden planks on the bridge break?" Haozi looked puzzled.
"Oh, what can we do now! The potion is useless, we can't get through! The tomb door is on the opposite side, and the baby is inside. Think of a way!" Boss Zhang stared at the tomb door in front of him eagerly.
"Do you think we don't want to go there? The potion is useless, is it possible to use fire?" Mountain Ghost looked at Boss Zhang unhappily and said.
"Fire?" Chen Tao's eyes lit up. This seemed to be a good idea.
"Boy, I advise you to give up that idea." Yan said lukewarmly: "Look around you. You will die before the fire burns over. These bugs are not as simple as you think."
"Then what can you do?" Chen Tao asked.
After finally getting here, he didn't want to just give up.
Yan glanced at Chen Tao jokingly, snorted coldly and lay down on the ground in front of the bridge. He tilted his head and stared at it for a long time. Then he got up and walked to the stone wall on the opposite side of the bridge. He turned over and stood on his head, staring straight at The bridge in the distance.
Everyone looked puzzled.
"Why is this red hair so angry?"
"I'm warning you to stay away from me!" Chen Tao gritted his teeth and looked at Liang Shaokai who was leaning next to him, his heart itching with hatred.
"Hey, don't be so petty. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me, Mr. Kai, I'll protect you!" Liang Shaokai patted Chen Tao's back shoulder carelessly, and Chen Tao felt a sharp pain in his back.
I! @#￥! @#! My back is still injured!
"I see!"
Yan's voice came, as if he had discovered something.
"Soul-Seizing Bridge, Yin-Yang Road, hum, it seems that we have met our ancestors!" Yan's heart moved secretly, but he said,
“We were lied to”
"What do you mean?" Everyone was confused.
"The bridge is fake, and so is the tomb door. The real entrance is not here." Yan clapped his hands and said, "This is one of the Mohist city defense mechanisms. Build a fake bridge full of mechanisms to confuse the enemy. , even if we can cross the bridge, we can't enter those two doors, they are full of traps and traps."
"Then how should we go?" Boss Zhang asked.
"Huh, Onmyoji...the real entrance is down there."
Looking at the bottomless abyss under the bridge, Chen Tao felt dizzy. After finally climbing up, are you going to climb down again?
"What he said should be right." Haozi said, "I seem to have heard my grandpa mention this kind of city defense technique before."
"Oh... Gongshu Men, that's interesting." Yan tilted his head and looked at Haozi, "Let's go, I will take you down!"
Yan wandered around the bridge for a few steps and pointed to a location. Someone quickly arranged the rope.
"Follow me. If you get eaten by those bugs, it's none of my business." Yan pulled the climbing rope, and after confirming it was safe, he was the first to climb down.
Ye Rong and others hesitated a little, and when Boss Zhang saw this, he said: "Peace of mind, beautiful lady, Yan will not lie to you!" After saying that, he followed Yan and climbed down.
"Let's go too! Brother Acheng, thank you for taking care of Lao Wang this time. I won't treat you badly after you go out." Uncle Long nodded to Acheng and asked Chen Tao and others to go down.
Chen Tao pulled on the climbing rope. Just when he was about to take a step, he was startled and a strange feeling came over him. He suddenly looked back at the dark cave.
"What's wrong, Taozi?"
"Strange, why do I feel like someone is looking at me..."
Haozi glanced at Chen Tao in confusion and held up a flashlight to shine deep into the cave. There was nothing but the entangled black vines.
"Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
"Maybe..." Chen Tao shook his head, grabbed the climbing rope and climbed down.
With the previous experiences, Chen Tao gradually grasped the trick of climbing. After hesitation, Ye Rong and others finally climbed down together. The group wore headlamps and paid attention to their surroundings and feet from time to time.
The rock walls here are very steep and almost straight. There were many black vines hanging down around him, and Chen Tao tried his best to avoid those things.
The vines here are different from those outside. The ones outside the cave have cracked and rough skin, like tree bark. The ones here are obviously better than those, with round and plump skin, rather like the stems of herbaceous plants. Through the light, you can vaguely see black spots swimming inside, which are bloodthirsty black worms.
"No wonder those bugs can survive in the vines here..."
After climbing down for more than ten meters, there were very few vines around, and there was still an endless abyss under my feet. I didn't know if the one outside led to a path. Their ropes were quite large and could be dozens of meters long in total. Chen Tao stepped on the rocks with some difficulty. The injury on his back gradually became sore, but it was much better than before.
"I don't know how long I've been down here. It should be noon outside now. I haven't seen the sun for a long time."
"found it!"
Yan's voice came again, and Chen Tao lowered his head to look at where he was. He saw two bucket-thick iron chains nailed side by side to the rock wall, with the other end only leading to the opposite mountain wall.
"Let me go, how did the ancients make such a thick iron chain?"
Everyone swayed from the rock wall to the iron chain. Each link was as thick as an adult's arm and was very strong. Although the surface was rusty, it could hold up with so many people stepping on it.
Chen Tao lay on the iron chain, holding the ring tightly with his hands, feet and arms.
You can vaguely see the chain bridge going up, and you can see the bottomless abyss going down. The feeling of climbing such a chain in mid-air... Chen Tao felt like he was afraid of heights. Out.
Exciting, so TND exciting!
From time to time, the sound of squeaking iron chains could be heard in the darkness, and everyone moved forward along the iron chains. It can be inferred from the age of those ancient corpses that it has existed here for at least two thousand years.
Chen Tao simply couldn't imagine how the ancients with low productivity could pull these two large iron chains between the two cliffs without the help of large machinery.
I was thinking wildly in my mind, and suddenly a strange feeling filled my body again. Chen Tao turned his head suddenly and shined his flashlight directly on the cliff mouth when he came down. In the blur, a figure seemed to flash away.
"Is there really someone following us..."
