I looked at Captain Mo Jin lying on the ground, pondered for a while and said, "Maybe... there is a cave in this place, not necessarily."
When Xiong Ming heard the words "There is another cave", his eyes suddenly shone, and he rubbed his hands and said, "According to what you said, is there an ancient tomb in this place?"
I shook my head and said, "It's not possible. Although my ability to view mountains and rivers is quite different from that of our old man, I had a general look at this place when I came here. This place has nothing to do with it. There are no rivers in the mountains, and there is only a bare Gobi desert. Let alone ancient tombs, it is already a miracle that there is even an ancient temple."
"Then could this place have been an oasis a long time ago?" Li Xiaohong said as she rummaged through Captain Jin's treasure bag and took out three fire certificates and two candles. , and two small torches.
I said: "It's possible! So... now we go inside to take a look..."
As I spoke, I pointed at the crack in front of me, and then pointed at the front of the corridor. After a while, I slowly said, "Or should we continue walking inward?"
Before I finished speaking, Xiong Ming was the first to shout: "If there is an ancient tomb, I have to go in and walk around. As the saying goes, a thief will not escape empty-handed. A blind cat will kill a mouse when it hits an ancient tomb. If you don't go down, , I’m really sorry for myself! Fourth girl, what do you mean?”
Hua Muling thought for a while and said: "I also suggest going to the ancient tomb! If I go on like this, I always feel weird. But what is strange, I can't tell for a while. If there is really an ancient tomb, go If you take a look there, you might find something new. Xiaohong, what do you think?"
Li Xiaohong squatted on the ground playing with the fire folders, and soon lit a torch.
The quality of this torch is very good. Even after so long, it still burns brightly.
With the torch, the originally cold air suddenly became much warmer.
Li Xiaohong lit both torches, then handed one of them to me, and then said slowly: "I have no objection if you go to the ancient tomb."
"Okay! Since everyone has no objections, let's set off!" After that, I held the torch high and got sideways into the crack in the wall.
The crack is not very big, but it can barely allow a person to pass sideways.
A few of us reluctantly moved forward in this crack. After walking for about five or six minutes, suddenly there was a "hiss, hiss, hiss" sound not far behind.
The sound was very soft and intermittent, somewhat similar to the sound made by the scales of reptiles rubbing against the ground.
No!
Either it's a bit similar, it's the sound of a reptile's scales scraping against the ground.
To be precise, a snake!
"There is a snake!" This was the first thought that came to my mind.
At the same time, Captain Jin's dark and wrinkled face suddenly appeared in my mind, "Damn it! Why didn't I think that the guy before was bitten to death by a snake! Grandma, this time it is considered a suicide. Caught in a trap.”
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shout loudly: "It's a snake, run! That Colonel Touching Gold was bitten to death by a snake!"
As soon as my words came out, the other three people were shocked and started to speed up.
But unfortunately, the space in this place is really small. The four of us moved forward desperately, and even with all our strength, we couldn't run very far.
On the contrary, the snakes behind us are getting closer and closer.
Listening to the horrifying "salsa" sound, my scalp began to tingle, and my head began to spin crazily, hoping to find a good escape plan, but to no avail.
At this time, Xiong Ming started shouting crazily not far behind me.
I hurriedly looked back and saw that this guy had been bitten by a snake on his butt. Fortunately, this guy was wearing thick pants, otherwise he would have gone to see the Lord of Hell by now.
The crack was very narrow, and Xiong Ming's body was quite large. After being bitten, he wanted to use the engineer shovel in his hand to swat the snake on his butt, but he couldn't turn around at all, so he could only stand there and curse.
Seeing that Xiong Ming was fine, I wasn't that worried anymore and shouted at the top of my lungs: "Li Xiaohong, these snakes may be afraid of fire. Give the torch in your hand to the strong bear, maybe they can hold on for a while!"
After Li Xiaohong heard what I said, without saying a word, she turned back and threw the torch in her hand to Xiong Ming.
Xiong Ming took the torch and shouted: "How dare you bite me?"
After the roar stopped, a smell of roasting came over. The snake that bit Xiong Ming on the buttocks loosened its tight mouth in pain, and twisted its body and ran towards the darkness.
Xiong Ming spit on the ground and was about to curse. But who knows, in the next second, hundreds of venomous snakes swam out of the darkness.
I saw that each of these venomous snakes was less than half a meter long. Their sand-colored skin was covered with fine black lines. Their heads were flat and triangular, and their tail tips were also triangular. They moved weirdly when swimming, but they were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, we were already behind us.
Xiong Ming was shocked and shouted: "Hu Tian, it's bad! The snakes are coming! You fucking run away!"
Xiong Ming said again while holding the torch high and waving it vigorously in the air.
Although the fire was not large, the high temperature at least temporarily stopped the snakes from advancing.
As for me, of course I continued to move forward without saying a word and risking my life.
About a minute or two later, a long and narrow exit suddenly appeared in front of several of us.
"It's the exit!" When I saw the crack, I couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy.
Then he ignored the wounds on his body caused by friction with the stone wall and squeezed forward like crazy.
The stone wall is naturally formed and has not been polished by any man. It has countless edges and corners. Every time I move forward, I will almost get a bloody gash on my body from those stones.
Of course, it's not just me, the other three people are like this too.
But at this time, we couldn't care less about this, so we pushed forward with all our strength.
Finally, more than a minute later, a few of us managed to squeeze out of the crack in the stone.
But the strange thing is that the poisonous snakes that were chasing us desperately in the stone crevices did not come out. They just crowded around the exit of the stone crevices and rolled back and forth.
Occasionally, a few venomous snakes bit Xiong Ming's buttocks. After emerging from the cracks in the rocks, they suddenly became extremely panicked and stopped attacking Xiong Ming. Instead, they released their mouths, twisted around and ran towards the way they came.
But there were too many snakes blocking the exit. Although those snakes desperately wanted to crawl back, they tried several times but in vain.
Slowly, the twisting amplitude of the snakes began to decrease little by little, and then the triangular heads began to raise high. The feeling made it look like someone was strangling their necks.
None of us spoke, we just watched quietly. After a short time, the heads of the snakes began to sway from side to side regularly, which was very strange.
After a while, a completely unexpected scene happened. These venomous snakes started to turn into sand from scratch. In less than three days, they turned from the fierce and fierce venomous snakes into a bunch of yellow snakes. sandy soil.
This scene was beyond all of our expectations. The four of us looked at each other, and no one could explain what was happening in front of us.
Just when a few of us were in a daze, Li Xiaohong suddenly said: "Guys, let's not talk about those snakes for now. Let's think about ourselves!"
I heard this and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Li Xiaohong said nothing and suddenly pointed forward with her hand.
I looked in the direction of Li Xiaohong's finger and found that a few of us were on a platform at this time.
The platform is about thirty square meters. It seems to be naturally formed, but it seems to be man-made.
There are countless strange symbols that we can't understand engraved around the platform, and below it is a dark and bottomless abyss.
And the place Li Xiaohong pointed to a few of us was about thirty meters across from the platform, where flames were blazing into the sky and a group of people were walking slowly forward.
Due to the distance and the lighting problem here, we can't clearly see the faces of the people in the team, but we can tell that the equipment on these guys is surprisingly good.
"Put out the torch!" I whispered: "Don't let them discover our whereabouts!"
Xiong Ming and I came from the same army, so we naturally had a tacit understanding. Before I could finish my words, Xiong Ming had already extinguished the torch in his hand.
Without the lighting of the torch, everything around him suddenly became dark.
The few of us hid in the darkness and quietly observed the people on the opposite side. After a while, Hua Muling asked, "Where did these guys come from?"
I shook my head and said: "I can't tell, but I guess their purpose is similar to ours. They both want to go to the Sangrado Desert, but they are blocked here by the wind and sand."
"Wait a minute!" Hua Muling said, "Look at the person at the beginning...who is it?"
With Hua Muling's reminder, several of us focused our attention on the person at the head, but it didn't matter at this glance, all of us couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"It's him!"
