Welling and the other four walked on an unpaved street like Patbon, exchanging messages every now and then.
While they were experiencing exotic customs, they occasionally tried foreign specialty snacks, which was quite satisfying, and they didn't care at all about the looks of hatred, envy, or curiosity.
After walking for a while, Li Kongqing and Li Lingyou were about to return to the military camp, so they wanted to say goodbye to Wei Ling and Shou Gong temporarily:
"Let's go back first. You two go over there to see the situation first, and then return to the vehicle to continue chatting in the evening."
Welling nodded:
"Okay, anyway, we just came here to have a look, we don't have any expectations.
So many days have passed, and there may not be any clues left. "
Farewell to Li Kongqing and Li Lingyou, Wei Ling and Shou Gong followed the location information given by the Li brothers and walked towards the tunnel.
Following the loose and chaotic city streets and alleys, the two quickly reached the northwest outskirts of the city.
Oncoming is the mountainous area stretching for thousands of miles, the Kara Mountains.
Hence the name of Kerala, the entire city is located right in the middle of the mountains.
The huge alluvial fan to the east gave the city-state room for development, and the mountains to the west gave the city more landform changes.
Walking up the slowly rising mountains, many low-rise houses are still scattered across the mountains, dotted along the terrain.
Soon, the two saw the target tunnel.
The entrance to the cave is at the end of this road, nestled among the tall and straight larch and white poplar trees on the roadside.
The entrance of the tunnel is relatively large, somewhat similar to the entrance of the highway tunnel in the old era, and a set of arch structures are built with regular stones.
Perhaps it was precisely because of such a regular building that day that the Empire team paid attention to it and went in to find out what happened. As a result, what happened next.
Wei Ling and Shu Gong didn't stop and walked straight into the wide and empty tunnel.
A cold wind came towards me.
There are some messy debris on the ground inside the tunnel. At first glance, they are traces left by homeless people or small animals who stayed here temporarily.
The inside of the cave wall is not paved, showing traces of rocks and rock formations. The further away from the cave entrance, the darker it becomes.
Under the cave wall and on the ground, in addition to chaotic footprints, there were also many traces of dark liquid, which should be the blood stains left by the fierce battle that day.
At some point, she installed a small thumb-sized spotlight on the gecko's hat, which emits a bright light and illuminates the front.
With the eyesight of two people, as long as there is a little light to assist, they can see all the details in the dark.
Therefore, with the help of this supplementary light device, Welling could even see clearly the traces of bullet holes on the cave wall.
If necessary, he can even analyze the location of the shot, the angle and variation of the shot into the rock formation.
The straight tunnel is about 50 meters long, with a low wall appearing.
There is a passage in the middle of the low wall, which is probably where the base was checked and registered before it was abandoned.
After passing this passage point, the tunnel suddenly opened up, forming a huge space, like an empty conference room.
However, in this "meeting room", apart from the rough floor and the damaged tables and chairs, nothing else of value was found.
In the corners of this large space, several small tunnels appeared, which were only wide enough for one person to pass through, and the height became low.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong randomly chose a direction and walked inside.
In Welling's mental power detection, no mental body was found around dozens of meters.
The gecko naturally has its own detection method. The sound of their walking is reflected in the cave and recovered, and the sound wave image is obtained.
The gecko can also emit infrasound waves to detect the situation in the entire cave on its own.
There are small grids on both sides of these small passages.
There are no facilities in the grid, only a mat made of mountain palm is spread on the ground, which seems to be used for people to meditate and meditate.
Walking down several small passages, I found that there were hundreds of such small grids. It can be seen that there would be at most hundreds of monks here that day, learning and practicing here.
At the end of the last passage, the terrain slowly rose upwards, and a crude wooden door appeared at the end.
Welling opened the door and walked in.
This is another larger space, arranged like a small classroom, but the tables and chairs are still completely destroyed, leaving nothing literal or symbolic.
This is enough to judge that the other party has considered it when evacuating and cannot leave any directional information for investigators.
After observing this, Welling was a little disappointed.
He had searched hard enough, hoping to pick up some information that would allow the investigation to continue.
But there will probably be no gain.
Continue to investigate the several passages surrounding this "classroom".
In the process, I discovered a small canteen, several small rooms of unknown purpose, and a bathroom that could accommodate several people to wash at the same time.
On both sides of a passage, there are small stone niches. Some of the stone niches have a wooden board across the middle, which looks like a shelf in the academy.
Suddenly, the gecko stretched out his hand and clasped one of the stone niches with his fingers.
The stone niche made an empty sound.
Wei Ling's eyes lit up, he pressed his palm against the stone niche and moved it hard to both sides.
A small stone door slid to one side, revealing a small secret room.
Shou Gong was about to get in when Wei Ling held her back.
The secret room is too small, and it would be too cramped for two people to enter.
Welling ducked into the secret room.
In the middle of the secret room is still a mountain palm cushion used for meditation.
Wei Ling sat down on the mat and felt it, but didn't notice anything foreign under the mat.
At this moment, Wei Ling was sitting on the cushion, facing the wall.
Through the light of the gecko's hat outside the secret room, Welling discovered a pattern on the stone wall in front of him.
His eyes hardened.
This pattern feels like it was carved randomly on the stone wall with a sharp tool.
A cross with three circles superimposed on top, forming a triangle in the middle.
Below this pattern, there is also a zigzag line carved with lines, which seems to be the outline of a snow-capped mountain stretching across the sky.
The reason why I thought it was a snow mountain is because there is a faint thin line below this line, which seems to outline the position of the snow line at will.
Not surprisingly, Welling immediately thought that he had seen this pattern before.
In the great temple of Patbon, above the head of the old man, a huge badge with such a pattern hangs.
"Are you a magician?"
"No, I'm just a servant of the Lord."
"Where is the Lord God?"
"He is everywhere."
Wei Ling can still remember the two exchanges he had with the old man that day.
Wei Ling had a vague feeling that he must have missed something that day.
That old man should not be a simple temple monk. He should at least know some details about the federal magician training plan.
Welling once again remembered this random pattern carved on the stone wall in his heart, turned around, and faced the stone door.
The gecko outside the door still casts the light of his hat into this small stone room.
Welling was a little confused. What could be contained in a secret room that was so small that it could only accommodate one person?
Could this place be the training ground for a magician with three spiritual attributes?
If so, why would he set up a secret room in a place like this? What needs to be kept secret?
If it wasn't for confidentiality, then it was definitely because he needed to be more completely quiet without being disturbed.
Immediately, Wei Ling found a few lines of writing on the stone door that slid to one side, which should be a few lines of poetry.
These verses are written in Xixuan script, and it feels like they were written casually on a stone door with a light-colored stone.
Translated into Daxia language, the general meaning of these lines of poetry is:
Suffering is a gift from God.
Birds are messengers of God.
Transformed into a rock, the tide hits.
Shattered to pieces, no trace left.
Welling carefully analyzed the meaning of these nondescript verses, which needed to be written on the back of the stone door.
Is it the insight of that multi-spiritual magician?
Or is it his self-motivating words?
Suddenly, Wei Ling's movements stopped, his eyes condensed, and he tilted his head.
During the detection of his mental power "Heart's Eye", he found a spiritual body, wrapped in an energy body, approaching rapidly.
Based on the characteristics of this spiritual body, Welling immediately identified the other party's identity.
It was the earth spirit warlock whom he encountered in the secret room of Bohu County that day.
That guy was flying quickly into the tunnel using Earth Escape.
Its distance has already entered the "classroom" in the passage, and it will soon appear in this passage full of stone niches.
Wei Ling jumped up and quickly got out of the secret room.
The speed was so fast that his movements were somewhat deformed.
Wei Ling secretly complained in his heart.
Why this guy?
Why do you always meet him in such a closed space?
This time the environment was still favorable to him.
These rocky passages and secret rooms are really not friendly to you.
The sword may still be able to maintain speed when cutting the broken rock and soil of the Gobi Desert, but this may not be the case in this solid sedimentary rock layer.
Seeing Wei Ling come out quickly as if frightened, the gecko was also startled.
As soon as he got out of the secret room, Wei Ling stood in front of Shou Gong and pulled Shou Gong behind him:
"Shou Gong, that guy is here!
It's the middle-level earth spirit magician who is in the giant stone chamber in Bohu County. He is still in the state of earth escape! "
Shou Gong was shocked, and at the same time received the mental power detection image dropped by Wei Ling.
A human figure that seemed to be wrapped in raging black flames appeared in the passage. Around him was the endless flowing world of source spirits, flowing through his body without any obstacles.
In the blink of an eye, in the center of the narrow passage, the light projected by the gecko's hat seemed to be distorted.
A figure appeared out of nowhere and slowly became clear.
It was the middle-aged Xixuan man.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, high eyebrows, light blue eyes full of bloodshot eyes, looking a little decadent.
He suddenly spotted Wei Ling and Shu Gong standing in the passage, with expressions of shock, anger and sadness.
However, before he could send a message or prepare magic, Welling chose to strike preemptively and launched an attack:
"Certainly!"
It was still the compound single-word technique. Wei Ling knew that this technique could immobilize the opponent for an instant.
The moment the other party was immobilized, the guard moved.
Her figure was like a black lightning, instantly breaking the sound barrier!
"boom!"
A shocking and deafening sonic boom suddenly erupted in the passage!
The passage behind the guard collapsed unexpectedly.
The magician never thought that Welling would not leave any time for him!
He also didn't expect that the opponent's companion was so sharp and could be so fast.
Faced with such a fierce attack, he tried his best to enter the earth escape state again.
Fortunately, he is a mid-level mage, and his intuition about potential dangers is much higher than that of low-level warlocks.
Fortunately, he didn't make any hesitation or mistakes. Even before he heard the sound, he had already taken evasive action when he saw the figure that could break through the sound barrier.
A bolt of black and dark golden lightning flashed in front of him.
He leaned back instinctively!
The dark golden lightning had already streaked across his shoulders and upper arms.
The Earth Spirit Master did not feel any pain and successfully entered the Earth Escape state.
Then, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul.
A deep knife mark ran from his right shoulder through the entire upper arm, directly severing his deltoid and biceps muscles.
The magician in the energy body state instantly feels his energy flowing out drop by drop.
If he exits the Earth Escape state at this moment, he will definitely find that his right arm is bleeding profusely at this moment.
