The square exit can accommodate almost two people. Cui Hao climbed to my side and looked down side by side with me.
He pointed his flashlight at the ground below. The white flashlight light soon shone on the ground, casting a shadow.
"Oh my god, so high?"
I can't even see to the end at a glance, and I don't know how deep the distance is here.
I used my flashlight to look around again, wondering where this place had been dug through to create such a deep cave and ravine.
I raised the flashlight and looked up again.
Above our heads, there are also z-shaped stone brick protrusions, and it seems that we can climb up from here.
Cui Hao clicked his tongue.
"People are crawling below, and Hun'er is chasing above. If I climb down, I think I'll have to hang on to this for half my life."
I nodded, feeling the same way.
There is no place that can be used as a handrail at all. You can slowly climb down purely by relying on your own ability and strength.
If the sole of your foot slips accidentally, there is a high probability that you will fall directly from here and be shattered to pieces.
When I think about it, I feel quite uneasy.
I dug into my backpack and found soul-suppressing nails and a thick hemp rope.
"Do you still have the rope on you?"
I looked at Cui Hao's backpack, and he nodded and took out a bundle of rope from it.
"Of course."
I nodded and directly drove the soul-suppressing nail into the wall next to me, and stared down for more than ten centimeters.
After confirming the stability of the soul-suppressing nail, I tied the rope in my hand.
"The top is too high. It would be too risky for the two of us to climb up. We don't know what's up there. We'll talk about it when we get back. Let's climb down first and have a look to figure out where it is below."
Climbing down is always easier than climbing up. I decided to go down and have a look first, and then turn around and climb up after gaining some experience.
Cui Hao nodded and stuffed the bundle of rope into my backpack.
"You clear the way first, and I'll follow you up there."
I took out two safety buckles from my backpack, and after pulling them out and fastening them to the rope, I gave one of them to the fat man and asked him to tie it around my waist.
"Be careful later and don't slip. Otherwise, if you fall, your body will be gone."
Cui Hao nodded to me and immediately began to fasten the locks on his body.
After buckling it up, I took a deep breath and looked at the soles of my feet. I inserted the flashlight bottom downward into the net bag I carried with me, and then lowered the bottom of the net bag downwards and pointed it at the space below me.
Although using a net bag to hang the light in this way will be blocked to a certain extent, the line of sight will not be too wide.
But at least I could free my hands and slowly crawl down the stone wall.
I stared down cautiously, finally took a deep breath and grabbed the stone bricks on the wall. Holding the other end of the rope with one hand, I slowly stepped on the stone bricks.
The ground is freezing cold and the stone bricks are bone-piercing.
I gripped the stone bricks tightly and felt a chill flowing down my palms and into my heart.
Slowly, I felt that my palms were getting stiffer and stiffer. Several times I almost couldn't hold on to the stone bricks on the wall, and I almost fell down when my hand slipped.
Fortunately, the stone bricks on the wall are in a z-shape, so all limbs can step on them.
Only then did I stabilize my body to avoid falling directly from above.
Cui Hao also faltered several times.
Along the way, he kept cursing.
"What kind of little bastard can come up with such a layout? Wouldn't he be good at building a magnificent palace? Who is he fooling by creating such a ghost thing?"
Cui Hao cursed, but fortunately nothing serious happened.
The two of us moved down from the wall little by little. It took us nearly half an hour, and we finally gradually approached the bottom.
With the help of the flashlight, I was able to see almost clearly the space beneath the ground.
At this time, under my feet was an uneven stone cave floor, with layers of stone protrusions interspersed with the ground, and everything was quiet.
But there seemed to be an air outlet beneath the ground. Whenever I lowered my head, the cold wind that hit me would make me shiver.
I kept encouraging myself from the bottom of my heart. As long as I persisted for about seven or eight minutes, I should be able to finish.
But I didn't expect that when we were nearly seven or eight meters above the ground.
Perhaps due to too much physical exertion, Cui Hao's hand slipped and his feet were unstable and he picked it directly from above my head.
He tightened the rope instantly.
But even so, he still hit me head on.
Before he could react, he fell down as soon as he let go of his grip.
You must know that the ground is densely covered with raised stalagmites, and the tips of the stalagmites are like needle points.
If I fall directly like this, there is a high probability that these stalagmites will pierce my internal organs. If I am unlucky, I may fall here.
At this point it was too late to grab the buckle.
I quickly tightened the rope and pulled my body tight.
The surface of the rope was rough and rubbed against the palm of my hand. Suddenly my palm became slippery and sticky, and the first words dripped down my arm.
Just when I was only half a meter away from the ground, I stopped.
I carefully lowered my head and looked down, found a relatively flat place without stalagmites, and sat down on the ground.
I let go of my hands and saw that my hands were covered with blood and my skin had all been scratched.
Cui Hao still held the rope tightly, turned around and shouted in extreme panic.
"How are you? Are you okay? Are you injured?"
I shook my head and waved the flashlight upward.
"It's okay. Come down first. Come and bandage it for me. My hand is in a bad condition."
I reluctantly bent my arms to take off my backpack. When I just fell off, my arm accidentally hit the raised stone bricks on the wall.
Now, my arm hurts, and the joints feel like they are broken.
Every time I stretched my arm, I felt a piercing pain that spread down my arm and throughout my body.
Cui Hao stepped on the stone bricks and slowly climbed down from the wall. He jumped to my side, and I had just opened my backpack.
I reluctantly took out the bandage and medicinal powder, endured the pain and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on my palm.
My eyes turned white in pain, and I quickly gritted my teeth and wrapped my palm with a bandage.
Cui Hao quickly walked up to me. After seeing the flesh and blood on my palm, he suddenly panicked.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't expect it to be this serious."
I shook my head and waved at him.
"It's okay, you didn't mean it, and I didn't blame you. Do me a favor, it hurts too much. It's too hard for me to bandage it myself. Please bandage it for me."
Cui Hao nodded hurriedly, quickly took the bandage in my hand and started dressing it for me.
I took advantage of this time to point the flashlight between my teeth and look at the surrounding environment.
At this time, deep underground, I could clearly see the stalagmites under our feet.
Some stalagmites are up to half a meter high, protruding from the ground towards a small cone, with extremely sharp tops and a faint cold light.
Fortunately, I reacted very quickly and didn't fall directly. Otherwise, my life may really be decided here today.
The ground is deep and dark, and I climbed up again. I can’t tell what year or month it will be. By the time we get down to the Yin-Yang Tomb, the grass on my grave may have grown an inch taller!
Cui Hao helped me bandage it seriously, and finally the bandage was completed.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me apologetically again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Man. I really didn't mean it at the time. I just felt the sole of my foot slipping, and then I fell off without stepping on anyone."
I waved my hand again, telling Cui Hao not to take it to heart.
Even when I climb, I have no way to be 100% sure that I won't slip.
It's just that I was lucky and my grip was relatively stable, so I didn't fall out of the air.
I asked Cui Hao to lift me up from the ground, and looked around with a flashlight.
The palms of my hands still hurt, but the surrounding environment was particularly strange.
Looking in the direction of the stalagmites, a platform appeared in front of it, and there seemed to be a huge space in front of it.
But I can't see clearly what's in it.
There are several small black spots inside, like some kind of building, but because the range of the flashlight's light is really limited, it is impossible to see clearly what they are with the naked eye.
I took two steps forward and walked through the stalagmites to greet the fat man.
"Fat man, let's go. Go to the front and take a look. What are those things?"
I looked around, and this should be the deepest part of the hanging palace.
And it's no wonder that this palace towers into the sky with the help of stone walls. It turns out that it was dug through the mountain to create such a deep passage here.
It's extremely cold and cold here, like a hell deep underground.
After we passed through these stalagmites, we came across a huge square stone platform in front of us.
This square stone platform covers an area of about a thousand square meters, and it is almost impossible to see the bottom.
In the center of the stone platform, I was so close that I finally saw the layout clearly with the help of the flashlight.
"My dad, Mr. Xiaoman, this scale is much bigger than Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses. With so many clay figurines, this guy wants to command an army underground and become the overlord here!"
I nodded and looked at these human figurines. This place was dark and deep. All these human figurines stood in a row and were placed upright on the stone platform.
They also held a variety of weapons in their hands, and they looked like the guards who guarded the station under the general's orders.
When I looked at these clay figurines, I felt a constant chill in my heart.
These figurines are so lifelike that they are almost the same height as real people, and they are almost exactly the same as the ones in the palace outside.
Thinking of those movable puppet maids, I quickly pulled Cui Hao over and took two steps back.
