Everyone cautiously moved forward in the passage. At this point, there were only nine people left including Mr. Li and Hong Laojiu, and everyone was in a panic.
As they moved forward, they simply treated the wounds on their bodies. In the darkness, gasps and footsteps could be heard one after another.
No one dares to slack off in the slightest, for fear that if they don't pay attention, they will be torn apart by those weird things.
Solemn and solemn, the surroundings are eerily quiet. The stone statues on both sides flicker in and out of light. No matter which angle you are at, as long as you raise your head, there will be countless eyes staring at you, as if every move you make is naked. Being exposed to surveillance creates an indescribable feeling of oppression.
That kind of depression was amplified bit by bit in this dim passage, like a stone, blocking everyone's chest.
The few people walked all the way to the end of the corridor and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the cubs did not catch up.
"I guess I didn't catch up." Mr. Li said and looked behind him.
"Where are you now?" Hong Laojiu looked at the nearest stone statue and knocked it with the handle of his gun, making a dull impact sound. .
"It's like a long corridor. I don't know where it leads. I guess it should be at the core of the temple." Grandpa said.
"Sister, are you still holding on?" Chen Ze bandaged his arm with a grin on his face, but his eyes kept glancing at the female leader of the Fang family next to him.
This person is from the Fang family and his name is Fang Feiyan.
This time, only three people from the Fang family came. One of the other two people died in the swamp, and the other was washed away in the avalanche. They were probably in serious danger.
The Fang family is famous for their body skills, and she has a flowing swallow-like body. It can be seen from Fang Feiyan's steps that this woman's skills are considered to be the best among the younger generation of the Fang family.
But even she had a few scratches on her body. Although she was not seriously injured, she was having a happy couple, and her white back and jade arms were so exposed.
Fang Feiyan has a slender figure and her face is not exactly beautiful, but it is still much prettier than the average girl.
Especially the light and agile energy that comes with him, which he has cultivated in the Fang family since he was a child. It is impossible for ordinary people to have it.
"roll."
Fang Feiyan was not polite at all, her face was a little hot, she glared at Chen Ze fiercely, and pulled up her clothes to cover up her shame, but the holes were really torn and the position was a bit awkward.
After tugging a few times, it had no effect. Instead, the private parts were looming. In the originally silent passage, the gasps could not help but become heavier.
Chen Ze swallowed his saliva and saw that the eyes of Hong Laojiu's group were glowing green. He quickly took off his coat and covered Fang Feiyan's body.
"It's a little worn, don't dislike it!"
Mr. Li looked at the somewhat clumsy Chen Ze and knew that this boy was probably attracted to this girl, so he smiled and winked at his grandfather.
Although Hong Laojiu and his gang were a bit wild, they did not dare to mess around in this situation.
Soon, everyone arrived at the end of the passage.
The space above the head was depressed, and the stone statues became one layer here. Some of them were damaged, and there were still bodies and broken stones rolling down on the ground.
In front of the eyes is a stone wall. I don't know how many years ago, the stone carvings and decorative stripes on it are still vaguely visible. The mechanical stone door on the wall is gone, leaving only a hollow doorway.
There should be an iron door here. If you walk in and take a closer look, you will see that there are stone troughs that were once used to install the doors above the door opening, as well as remaining traces of the machine expansion.
There is an indented hollow on the left and right sides of the foyer. There should have been similar stone statues or fire tanks standing here, but they have disappeared.
There was a lot of space behind the doorway, and looking in from the outside, there were still a lot of dead bones on the ground.
I don't know why, but as soon as I entered here, there was an unreasonable feeling that made everyone present feel uncomfortable.
Compared with the outside, it is a bit cold here, and the surrounding stone walls appear darker.
After confirming that there was no danger, everyone entered one after another. There were several ear chambers on the left and right sides. The ear chambers were not big and there was nothing inside except for the remaining broken bones and gravel.
What is puzzling is that there are rusty chains on the walls of each ear room. Everything in front of you can easily be associated with a place.
prison.
The strange thing is that the chains look very strange, each one is as thick as an adult's arm, and the distance between the locks on the two opposite walls is obviously beyond the physical distance of a normal person.
Unless every prisoner held here can do the splits, it will be difficult to put it to use.
Mr. Li checked several broken bones on the ground. The fractures were broken, as if they had been broken.
The most special thing is half of the skull, which still has obvious tooth marks on it.
But they don't belong to humans.
In other words, these creatures on the ground were once bitten to death by something.
Without even thinking about it, a ferocious and terrifying monster came to Mr. Li's mind.
"Could it be that those things were bred by people?" Mr. Li looked at the mess on the ground, and then at the destroyed agency doors in front and behind.
When his eyes scanned the vague claw marks on the stone wall, a terrible thought arose in his heart.
The monsters outside were far scarier than he imagined.
The residents of this temple raised those monsters and kept them here, and through some means, made them kill each other.
Maybe it's for fun, maybe it's for other purposes. The thing that survives in the end is the most terrifying nightmare.
After passing through this strange place, everyone entered another space, which was also a huge stone room. The remaining stone benches and stone tables can be inferred that this should be a place for people to stay, perhaps used to guard the front. Guard resting place for things in the prison.
There are several other stone doors and passages around here, which should lead to several other stone chambers.
"Someone has been here. There are footprints on the ground. The dust on this stone table has been wiped by someone." Grandpa said.
"Some of them are injured." Chu Yuxuan regained her composure and noticed a few drops of blood on the ground.
The blood trail extended to a collapsed stone pillar, with a dark red bloody fingerprint on it.
The blood has not yet dried.
There was no one else here, so the bloody fingerprints could only belong to Huo Yuanshan and his group.
"It seems that they encountered something before and took a short rest here." Old Li said.
"That Xu Zixue seems to be very familiar with this place." Grandpa thought for a while and said, "Perhaps the owner of this trip is not Huo Yuanshan... What is the background of that woman..."
"What the hell, let that old dog Huo Yuanshan ride the thunder in front, and we will enjoy the benefits of the fishermen!" Hong Laojiu smiled gloomily, and now he wanted to skin Huo Yuanshan alive.
Everyone followed the footprints to a stone gate. It was not much different from other places. The only difference was the carvings above the stone gate.
The pattern looks like a person who has been stretched and deformed. The head is simplified into a circle, the torso is a vertical line, and it is divided into two thick lines at the waist, connecting the two simplified feet with upward inverted crescents. , two fold lines of equal thickness separate from the vertical line representing the torso, forming the shoulders and arms, hanging down to the position of the feet.
Mr. Li looked at the rune. This was the first time he had seen such a character, but he could clearly feel that this symbol was different.
In the snow valley cave that made them suffer so much before, there was also a stone statue that was very similar to this symbolic image, but it was smashed by grandpa.
It must mean something.
Go forward and pass through the stone gate. Under the stone gate is a downward stone staircase.
Chen Ze was the first to step down. As soon as he stepped on the first step, he heard a clanging sound and several bloody spears popped out from the stone walls on both sides.
"careful!"
Soon after, the grandfather standing next to Chen Ze took action instantly and pulled Chen Ze back by his collar.
Chen Ze's face turned pale with fright, and his legs were weak. Even if he was slower for half a second, he would be skewered into steaks.
"Follow me closely, don't touch randomly, there is a mechanism here." Mr. Li checked in front of the stone gate for a long time, then picked up a half-sized stone and smashed it hard against one of the steps.
Clang!
Several spears popped out from the hidden cracks in the stone walls on the left and right sides of the stone staircase, and were quickly retracted.
The footprints on the ground became messy here, and there were even blood stains. I guess Huo Yuanshan and his group also suffered a loss.
"Follow my footsteps." Mr. Li took a deep breath and carefully led the way.
After walking for a short distance, I saw a body lying on the stone stairs, with blood flowing all over the floor.
"It's indeed them."
The one who died was Xu Zixue, with several large holes pierced by spears in his chest.
"Don't touch!"
There was a mechanism underneath the corpse. Mr. Li carefully walked around the corpse and walked down to the end not long after.
"This stone staircase is shorter than I thought..." Before Hong Laojiu finished speaking, his eyes were attracted to the thing in front of him.
The passage was gradually illuminated, and soon, some golden reliefs appeared on the stone wall. The reliefs had no specific content, only countless intertwined thick lines, like countless entangled long snakes, extending to the end of the passage.
Some places are even inlaid with crystal clear gems. Under the firelight, the entire corridor becomes dazzling and dazzling.
The bright light swept across, and there were dots of light shining on the stone pillars, which made many people's minds light up.
Hong Laojiu was the first to rush forward, yelling at a few of his men and cursing, as if he had discovered something.
In between those complicated lines, there is a kind of shiny transparent crystal. When the flashlight light shines on it, it is crystal clear and glowing with light spots of various colors.
"this……"
Mr. Li scratched the relief with a dagger. The golden things on it were not gold, but more like some kind of paint.
And those strange crystals have no fixed shape and different sizes, and there is no visible pattern.
It's more like some liquid condensed into a solid between the gaps in the stone carvings, not the imaginary gem.
After discovering that those things were of little value, Hong Laojiu and his group were discouraged and continued to move forward with curses.
"Did you smell the smell of blood?" After experiencing the previous scene, Chen Ze followed his grandfather honestly and never dared to run around again.
Mr. Li frowned. There was indeed a smell of blood floating in the passage, and as they moved forward, the smell seemed to become stronger.
Grandpa gave Mr. Li a wary look.
"The front seems a little uneven!"
