Zheng Feng and the others finally escaped safely and left the cave far away.
The terrifying miasma broke out without Sylph's suppression. All the lush shrubs and towering ancient trees around the cave entrance quickly withered when they came into contact with the purple-black miasma!
When everyone saw this scene from a distance, a chill suddenly rose in their hearts. Without Sylph's suppression, they would probably be like the dead vegetation, turning into corpses without any life.
After more than half a day, the miasma emerging from the cave slowly decreased. The originally vibrant woods near the cave were now reduced to a sea of dead trees due to the miasma.
For fear of being contaminated by the miasma, everyone evacuated to a farther place again, and did not dare to approach again until the next day.
Zheng Feng drove the few hares he caught last night into the cave. However, before the hares could run far, they collapsed in front of everyone, vomited a few mouthfuls of purple-black blood, and then stopped moving.
It made everyone feel chilled. It seemed that there was no danger, but it was still full of poisonous gas. After waiting for another two days, everyone saw the hare successfully running into the cave.
During this period, Zheng Feng was scolded by Lin Tianxue as an 'executioner' because he was the one who proposed using hares to test poison, so the two rabbits poisoned by the miasma were also attributed to him.
What made Lin Tianxue most angry was that Zheng Feng actually said to her confidently, 'If you were willing to try the poison, those rabbits would not die.'
Her tone was as if she had killed those rabbits.
It wasn't until that moment that Lin Tianxue understood that a person could be so shameless!!
After careful consideration, everyone still waited for two more days, and the cave was blown by Sylph with a hurricane, and the snowflakes were washed with a torrent. Finally, Lieyan used high-temperature fire to kill the virus, and then everyone dared to step into the cave again.
Because it had been almost a week since they left Yeluocheng, before entering for the second time, Fu Yanjie asked Falcon to send a letter to the Whitebeard Bar to report that they were safe.
Entering the cave again, looking at the originally brownish-yellow stone wall, it turned black and purple upon entering. Everyone was frightened. As soon as they opened the door, such a terrifying miasma poured out. There was no more dangerous situation deep in the ruins.
It's inevitable that I feel a little heavy in my heart.
This time there was no obstruction, and everyone quickly reached the metal plate again.
When Zheng Feng opened the door, miasma immediately poured out. He left too quickly. He only knew that the door was opened a little, but he didn't see what was behind the door, so no one knew.
Now, a bottomless metal staircase is displayed in front of everyone. Pick up a small stone and throw it down, but there is no echo for a long time.
Illumination Technique led the way, and everyone slowly stepped down the stairs, taking every step with extreme caution.
Soon, everyone could no longer see the original entrance. Whether it was above or below the stairs, there was endless darkness. There was no end in sight. Within the stairs, there was only the 'da... da... da...'
...' footsteps.
Everyone walked for about half an hour, maybe it would be shorter, because in the silent darkness, humans always feel that time is particularly long...
"Ah——!" Lin Tianxue suddenly exclaimed.
This sudden cry almost scared everyone to death. Back to back, they looked around as if they were faced with a formidable enemy, but there was no movement.
"Sister, what happened?" Tianyu asked worriedly. Her sister and she had been walking together, but she didn't notice anything strange.
"I...I...seemed to have stepped on something, my right foot, my right foot!!" Lin Tianxue exclaimed.
Murong Ya immediately controlled the small ball of light to fly down, and everyone immediately moved toward Lin Tianxue's right foot. The step she was stepping on suddenly sank.
"Could it be that you stepped on...a mechanism?" Fu Yanjie said cautiously.
No one refuted it, because it was obvious~
"I, I didn't mean it..."
"I know, don't let go!" Zheng Feng rolled his eyes. He knew even without saying it, who would deliberately step on a trap?! Unless he was tired of life.
"I didn't let it go, it just rose up on its own. I can't push it down at all. What should I do!!?" Lin Tianxue said anxiously.
No matter how hard Lin Tianxue used his right foot, the sunken stairs still slowly rose up. Everyone was helpless watching this scene. After a 'click', a 'rumbling' sound came from the top of the stairs.
Zheng Feng's face suddenly changed, because this was not the first time he heard this sound. Although it was a little far away this time and not as clear as last time, it was absolutely unmistakable. He said seriously: "This is the movement of the entrance metal plate.
sound!"
"You mean...the metal door closed on its own initiative?" Lilivi asked.
Zheng Feng said helplessly: "I'm afraid so."
Everyone's hearts suddenly trembled. The stairs had no village in front and no store in the back. They didn't know where they were leading. If there was a dead end at the end and their retreat had been blocked, there would be no worse situation than this.
Everyone has seen the metal iron door at the entrance. It is almost one meter thick and is made of special metal. It is extremely hard. No matter whether it is a physical attack or an elemental attack, the damage caused is not obvious. If you want to destroy the door and force yourself to escape from here,
The idea is simply impossible to realize.
There is no doubt that they are likely to be trapped and die here!
"I, I..." Lin Tianxue was so ashamed that she didn't know how to speak. She would forget about the small troubles she usually made, but the mistake she made this time could very well kill everyone.
"Even if you didn't step on it, the rest of us might." Zheng Feng calmed down quickly and did not blame Lin Tianxue, because that would be completely useless.
"Keep going, we have no choice!" After saying that, he went down the stairs again.
"This staircase is the only passage leading to the dwarf ruins. It cannot be a dead end at the end. There must be a way to escape." Zheng Feng said to himself.
Like Zheng Feng, no one blamed Lin Tianxue. They all followed quickly and continued to go deeper, which was the only way to survive!
About ten minutes later, Zheng Feng found that the stairs finally reached the bottom. There was a flat walkway in front of him. With the help of the light ball, he could clearly see a worn-out skeleton eight meters away, sitting powerlessly on the ground with his back against his back.
Metal walls.
"Boss, why did you stop? Could it be that...you also stepped on something?"
Everyone immediately despised Fu Yanjie's crow's mouth. Can't this guy think about the good? When the time comes, it will be a tragedy if the good is not good but the bad is bad.
Zheng Feng shook his head slightly and said calmly: "There is a corpse in front of you."
"Doesn't this mean that someone once came in here one step ahead of us?" Everyone was shocked. What made people sad was that this person died in this dark passage in the end, which seemed to let them see their own future.
Everyone walked in slowly, but before they could get close, the vibration from their footsteps turned the corpse into ashes, leaving only a pile of gray dust on the ground.
Lilivi said in surprise: "How long ago did this skeleton come from? It will melt when exposed to the wind. Even a relic that is thousands of years old may not be able to do it. According to the degree of weathering of this skeleton, it must be at least tens of thousands of years old!"
After advancing along the passage, everyone discovered that there was not only one corpse on the road. The deeper they went, the more corpses they found. At first, there was only a solitary set of bones, but later on, they could gradually see skeletons in twos and threes.
Stacked together, the total number of skeletons is at least hundreds.
After discovering these skeletons, everyone began to understand why there was such a terrifying miasma after opening the metal door. The ninety percentile corpse gas was the corpse gas of these skeletons. The poisonous gas formed after at least ten thousand years was simply ten thousand years.
Corpse Qi, any creature that touches it will die.
These skeletons all have one thing in common. Without exception, they will turn into dust before anyone gets close. No useful information can be obtained from them. The only thing Zheng Feng can tell is that these are human skeletons.
.
As more and more skeletons were seen, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.
There is no doubt that these skeletons were all trapped and died here. So many people are unable to escape from here. Is there any way for them to leave?!
