After a slight hesitation, I made the decision to enter the underground fortress with Sakurako Miyamoto.
If we walk from Fenghuang Ancient City, we have to go around in a circle. After passing the ancient city, we have to climb a low mountain to get there. Although the distance is not far, it is quite a waste of time.
After being delayed for so long, I don’t know what happened to the old lady? We must hurry up and rush over.
It's a pity that except for Hu Qiu, all of us are injured. If it weren't for the effect of reincarnation pollen, we probably wouldn't be able to stand up right now.
This state is very dangerous, and it makes me worried that we are walking on thin ice, because there are bigger enemies waiting for us behind.
In order to prevent the spell from losing its effect, I asked the fat man to hold Sakurako Miyamoto's hand. Only by keeping the fat man in her sight at all times can the continuity of the spell be maintained and she will not suddenly regain her consciousness.
The fat man was a little reluctant at first because he didn't want to touch the kid. In fact, I could see that he was not used to touching women.
I had no choice but to grab the fat man's hand, grab Sakurako Miyamoto with the other hand, and put her hand into the fat man's hand.
The fat man's hand trembled slightly.
Seeing this scene in my eyes, I began to think in my heart, it's time to find a woman for the fat man!
If a fat man really sleeps with Miyamoto Sakurako, there is nothing wrong with it. This woman will be slept with sooner or later. It is better to take advantage of others than to take advantage of your own brother. If you can sleep with a member of the royal family, the fat man will not lose!
As I stepped into the tunnel, the light suddenly became dim, making it look a bit eerie.
Who would have thought that inside this dilapidated tunnel, there is actually a lair of evil soldiers. If an ordinary person breaks in recklessly, it will be absolutely impossible for him to escape.
The tunnel is an old-fashioned concrete structure, and the walls on both sides are equipped with wartime lighting. The light bulbs are flashing brightly and dimly. It seems that the power generation equipment inside is still working.
The tunnel is wide enough to allow two cars to drive side by side. This width is absolutely terrifying.
Looking inside, the tunnel was bottomless. After the fat man asked Sakurako Miyamoto, he learned that the tunnel was 145 meters deep.
This data shocked us. We must know that it was not a simple matter to build such a long tunnel in that era. A tunnel of this size is definitely a huge project. It can be seen that the Japanese were building it at that time.
A huge amount of effort was put into building this fortress, which is enough to illustrate its huge ambition.
After walking forward for dozens of meters, I suddenly discovered a problem. I don't know why the tunnel was not straight inward. Instead, it had some big curves, just like a huge python.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as I walked, I started to feel something was wrong. I could actually feel a faint airflow flowing in the tunnel, which made me feel excited, because this airflow was somewhat unusual.
I subconsciously stopped and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Hu Qiu asked.
"There's airflow!" I said.
"Isn't it normal for there to be wind here?" the fat man asked.
"This is no ordinary air movement."
I walked to a crack nearby, put my hand against the crack, felt it for a moment, and suddenly came to a conclusion in my mind.
"I feel the energy of the earth's veins flowing!"
"Is there really earth energy here?" Huzi asked.
"Huzi, go back to the tunnel entrance and pay attention to the situation."
Huzi said good, turned around and walked out. Not long after, he got out of the tunnel and stood outside again.
"Yangzi, what do you want to do? I'd better leave quickly?" said the fat man.
I sighed helplessly, "I want to leave too, but I don't think it's easy. Although the little devil can be solved, I'm more worried about the one in the mountain."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the fat man understood immediately, and his face changed slightly. Just when he was about to speak, Hu Qiu quickly shook his head at him, and the fat man quickly shut his mouth.
I walked to a place about thirty or forty meters away from the tunnel entrance and stopped. I used a strong flashlight to shine on the tunnel wall, but I didn't find anything unusual.
There were no holes or cracks in the concrete above my head, everything looked normal.
I frowned slightly. Logically speaking, I shouldn't. Could it be that what I saw was fake?
I just observed outside that this mountain is extremely steep, at least a few hundred meters long, and the peaks next to it are even more continuous and undulating. Thinking of the secret here, this mountain must have the aura of earth veins.
No matter how well the little devil's underground fortifications are built, the concrete cannot completely hinder the flow of the terrain and the changes in the mountain itself. Over time, collapse and cracks will inevitably occur.
There must be something else I haven't discovered?
Thinking of this, I lowered my head and looked at the ground, but except for the two railroad tracks, there seemed to be no unnecessary traces under my feet.
Just when I was puzzled, the little mute not far away suddenly made an ah-ah sound, which attracted our attention. We quickly walked over and took a look. The little mute found a thick stick in the corner of the tunnel.
vine.
My eyes suddenly lit up, and I didn't expect to find it in this inconspicuous place after searching for a long time.
Here is a crack that extends from the ground to the side of the tunnel wall.
This vine is as thick as an arm and is squeezed among several thick cables, so if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to spot this leafless vine.
This is a big discovery!
I quickly reached out and separated the vine from the cable, and then pulled it along the wall. A crack as thick as an arm appeared in front of us, and the vine was rooted in the crack.
Although this vine has no leaves, its skin is black and green, and it seems to be alive. I pulled it hard, but it did not break. It is very tough.
"Little mute, come and try!"
The little mute quickly stepped forward, grabbed the vine, and pulled hard.
What I didn't expect was that even with such great strength, the little mute could not pull up the vine.
Now I couldn't help but be surprised.
The rest of us started digging without saying a word, digging along the cracks to see what the vine was.
Unexpectedly, as I dug and dug, the vine became thicker and thicker, and the part rooted in the soil also changed color, from blue-gray to reddish-brown.
We dug more than a foot deep inside. This is the deepest place that the Ghost Slayer Sword can reach. There is concrete all around, so we can't dig any deeper.
At this time, we were surprised to find that the protruding vine was actually a root extending from the thicker part inside.
This discovery made several of us stunned!
I hesitated for a moment, then directly cut the root with the Ghost Slayer Sword, and then pulled it out with force. The vine was completely pulled out immediately, and there was still a reddish-brown main body attached to it!
"This looks like a tree root!" Hu Qiu exclaimed.
"No way, what kind of tree can grow so long? Can it reach here from the mountain?" the fat man said in disbelief.
Who knows, just as Fatty finished speaking, the mountain peak we were on suddenly shook for no reason, and a fishy wind swept out from nowhere along the tunnel, making a strange sound.
