Whether the crack is wide or narrow, people can just move around when walking in it. Looking up, the cracks became narrower and narrower, and finally they were completely closed together, and nothing could be seen. The three of them were leaning against the stone wall on the left, and on the right was a crack nearly half a meter wide. It could not be seen to the bottom. There were many huge rocks caught in the crack.
Chen Tao looked inside with a wolf-eye flashlight and found that there was a lot of yellow sand accumulated under the gap. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that this gap leads directly to the desert outside?
"Look, this stone wall has been processed before." Ye Rong touched one side of the stone wall with her hand and said, "This place shouldn't have been so wide before. Someone once used the original cracks to dig such a passage."
Chen Tao looked at the stone wall and found that there were traces of digging in some relatively narrow places. Judging from the age, it should be very old.
"It's so strange. No matter how I look at it, this section of road looks like a secret passage that was left secretly by someone."
"Tatunaans, do you know how to use mechanisms?" Haozi asked.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tao asked.
"I always feel that these institutions on this road are familiar, but I'm not sure." Haozi looked at the crack behind him with a thoughtful look on his face.
Ye Rong was a little puzzled and said: "Aren't these mechanisms all the same? If you click here, it will go up there. What's the difference?"
"Oh, as the saying goes, those who know how to read watch the door, and those who don't know how to watch watch the excitement. You are all laymen and can't see the subtlety of this. I have been learning from my grandfather for twelve years. This mechanism is very complicated. It’s difficult to understand, you can’t imagine it!” Haozi smacked his lips, thought for a long time, and finally waved his hand, “Forget it, I can’t explain it to you two!”
"Well, there are too many secrets in this place, which cannot be solved in a short while." Chen Tao nodded. He knew what Mr. Li was capable of. Since Haozi has such suspicions, he must have discovered something. , it’s just that I can’t come to a conclusion for a while. "The most important thing right now is to find Uncle Long and the others as soon as possible. I don't know where they are now."
This crack is not easy to walk through. In some places there is no one to step on, so you can only cross it by holding on to the stone wall with your hands. Some places were blocked by boulders, leaving only a very small passage. Chen Tao almost squeezed his stomach before he got through. The three of them climbed up along the cracks. Cold wind blew down from the top of their heads, sometimes mixed with a lot of sand, which made it difficult to open one's eyes.
After crawling for who knows how long, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Stars, it's stars!" Haozi was very excited, "We're out!"
Chen Tao covered Haozi's mouth: "I'm looking for death because of you, keep your voice down!"
The three of them turned off their flashlights and carefully climbed along the gap to the entrance of the cave.
It was night, and there were no clouds in the sky. Stars filled the night sky like gems. A bright moon hung above the head, and there was a huge moon halo around it.
The three of them carefully drilled out of the hole and found that the crack was actually under a pile of strange rocks. What surprised them even more was that at this time, they were being watched by everyone.
Surrounded by many strange-shaped mounds, some are as high as four stories high, like towers of different heights. The side walls of the mound stand steeply, and under the moonlight, you can vaguely see the lines of deposits of sand, gravel and soil on it.
Under the pale full moon, there was a faint green light on the mounds, and there was deathly silence all around, like a ghost town. The cold wind blew from the depths of the mound, hitting people's faces with a cold whoosh, making them shiver all over.
Looking at the stone buildings of various sizes and shapes around him, Chen Tao suddenly felt a little familiar.
"This is..." Ye Rong opened her eyes in disbelief, "This is the lost city outside Tatunaan, we have arrived!"
"What!"
Chen Tao looked around with his flashlight and remembered that in the shadow of the God of War Hall, there was a circle of towers of different heights outside Tatuna'an. It turned out to be this devil's city!
The three of them climbed up to the nearest high hill and looked into the depths through the moonlight. The devil city stretched all the way, and there was no end in sight in the night.
"Uncle Long and the others should have already entered, we should hurry up!" Chen Tao said.
"That's what you say, but how do you plan to get in?" Ye Rong looked at Chen Tao and said: "The reason why this place is called the Lost City is because it is as complex as a maze and is a natural barrier around Tatunaan. Back then, Countless countries wanted to attack Tatunaan, but they lost their way in this place, almost all their armies were wiped out, and they were trapped and died here."
"According to legend, if a person enters the Lost City, not only will he not be able to get out, but his soul will also be trapped inside, and will never be reincarnated for eternity. These souls wander around the Lost City day and night. When night falls, you can hear countless voices inside. People were wailing and crying, and you could even hear troops fighting among them."
Seeing that what Ye Rong said was true, Haozi waved his hand and said, "Don't we have a compass?"
Hearing this, Chen Tao took off the compass from his strap, and his jaw almost dropped when he saw it.
At this time, the compass on my hand seemed to be dancing and completely malfunctioning.
"This...what on earth is this place? Even the compass doesn't work."
"There should be a strong magnetic field here, and all instruments will malfunction here. Rumor has it that only Tatunaans know the way in. There must be a passage here, and we have to find a way to find it."
Chen Tao looked at the endless lost city, "How did Uncle Long and the others get in? Could it be that Big Beard and the others have already entered?"
The three of them were standing on the sand dunes, thinking about how to pass through this lost city, when a cold and familiar voice suddenly came to their ears. Immediately afterwards, a figure came out from behind the mound.
"Hmph, you bastards of the Chen family, we meet again!"
Listening to that voice, Chen Tao's mind buzzed, and his expression suddenly changed.
It's a bearded man!
The three of them took a quick look and saw torches lit up in the darkness. Figures came out from behind the mounds one after another. The muzzles of the black holes were already pointed at them.
"Run! If you have the ability, run again.
! "The bearded man walked out of the crowd with a ferocious look.
Chen Tao and the others stood back-to-back on the mound, watching the bearded men surrounding them, feeling a sense of despair in their hearts.
At this time, they were like lambs thrown into the wolf's den, with no way to hide.
"Damn it, you were so careless!" Haozi gritted his teeth, holding three spikes in each hand, "Master Hao, I have to explain here today!"
"Haozi, we will be brothers again in the next life!" Chen Tao knew that the three of them had no way to escape, and he had already made a desperate plan in his heart.
"Chen Tao, Li Hao, I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you!" Ye Rong said.
"What time has this happened? Stop talking about these useless things!"
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Along the way, Chen Tao and Big Beard were fighting to the death. Now the three of them were once again surrounded by them, with the murderous intent on their faces not diminishing at all.
"I told you, you can't run away!" The bearded man raised his gun and said fiercely: "If I can't kill Chen You, even if I kill you, a little bastard, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"Oulan Ke!" Chen Tao yelled: "I will die if I die. I am not afraid of you, but I don't want to die without knowing why. How did my Chen family offend you?"
"Hmph!" The bearded man sneered, "How can you offend me by being stubborn even when you are about to die? You should ask your Chen family, ask that damn Chen You!"
The bearded man was almost roaring: "He killed so many of us here back then, and even my father died in his hands. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
As he spoke, the bearded man raised his gun.
Snapped.....
Suddenly remembering the sound of a gunshot in the darkness, Chen Tao thought that Big Beard was going to shoot, but unexpectedly, the shot did not hit himself, but hit Big Beard in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, there was another dense rain of gunfire.
Ta da da da da...
The crowd that originally surrounded Chen Tao suddenly became panicked, and seven or eight fell down in an instant.
"Who is that!" The bearded man yelled angrily, calling for his men to scatter and hide in the mounds. Looking at Chen Tao and the others, they had disappeared.
Ta da da da da...
Ta da da da da...
The sound of gunshots broke the silence of the lost city. Chen Tao and the other three hid behind a mound, looking at the two waves of people fighting in the distance with shocked expressions.
At that moment, Haozi suddenly threw out the spike in his hand. There were only two people guarding that position. Haozi suddenly took action and knocked down one of them. At the same time, Ye Rong also shot the other person directly.
The three of them seized the opportunity at that moment. When the others reacted, the three of them had already jumped off the mound and rushed into the maze behind them without looking back.
The bullet whizzed past his ear, and Chen Tao's heart was in his throat. The three of them hid behind a nearby mound. When they looked behind them, Big Beard and the others were already at war with the group of people in the darkness.
The night is already deep, the moon hangs high above the head, flames are spitting out in the dark night, and gunshots are heard continuously.
People kept getting shot and fell down, and they let out a
A miserable wail.
"Who are those people!" Chen Tao hid behind the mound and looked at the group of people in the darkness with a puzzled face.
Under the moonlight, those people were wearing gray-white robes with a turban on their heads. Their faces could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but they could be seen to have rat faces.
"Oh my god, what the hell, the rat spirit saved us!" Haozi was carrying the mound on his back with the same astonishment on his face.
"No, these people..." Ye Rong's chest heaved violently, "These people are Tatunaan's guards!"
"What!" Chen Tao looked at the group of people in disbelief. His attention turned to the rat face again. He remembered the stone statues he saw in the hall's porch and said in surprise: "How is this possible? Didn't you say Is Tatunaan a dead city? Why are there guards here?"
