Chapter Eleven Entering the Realm of Life and Death
At this time, instructor Shui said: "Everyone, please help carry the tripod back to the stone platform! Only this can truly restrain it." So everyone stepped forward to take the tripod from Jiao Yiming's hand and put it back on the high platform.
As everyone walked down the steps, Pang Xiaotai pointed to the big hole left by the "Black Snake Dragon" and said, "What should we do with this hole? What if someone breaks in by mistake in the future and becomes its snack?" Jiao Yiming came over and smiled.
He patted him on the shoulder and said: "Look at me!" Then he walked to the huge stone where the tripod was hidden, made a fist with his left hand, stretched out his index and middle fingers, said a spell in his mouth, and said loudly: "Get up!" Then
A huge boulder actually rose up out of thin air. Jiao Yiming shouted again: "Let's go!" He pointed his finger at the big hole, and the boulder actually flew towards the big hole. When he reached the top of the big hole, Jiao Yiming put his finger down.
, said: "Fall!" The boulder covered the big hole with a bang. I admired it in my heart, so don't say it! Pang Xiaotai opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiao Yiming with a grin. He saw Jiao Yiming being proud.
He walked up to Pang Xiaotai with a smile, leaned over his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry?" At this time, Xiaowen came over, looked at Jiao Yiming with admiration and said, "Hehe... What are your hands?"
What? Are you easy to learn? Do you have time to teach me?" Jiao Yiming looked at him with contempt and said: "This is called the "Mountain Moving Technique". If you practice it to the extreme, you can move mountains and fill the sea. My magic is not good enough, so I can only
My master is really good at moving this huge boulder! It's not easy to learn." Then he asked the little clerk with a sly smile: "Are you still a virgin?" The little clerk was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said: "Yes...yes.
Ah! Can only children practice?" Jiao Yiming laughed loudly, and the rest of us also laughed. The fear and tension of facing the "Black Snake Dragon" just now disappeared.
After laughing for a while, Instructor Shui said: "Everyone, hurry up as soon as possible! I'm afraid that the zombie wolf has already found the entrance to that place." After saying that, he took the lead and left. Everyone packed up their things and continued to move forward. About 30 meters away.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, a small forest belt appeared in front, and the sound of rushing water could be heard faintly. Instructor Shui said: "Comrades, we will go past this small forest to reach the Black Snake Tan of Qingling Cliff. Everyone wants to
Be careful! Although it is estimated that the zombie wolves have left, we still cannot take it lightly." After hearing this, everyone began to become nervous and walked forward cautiously step by step.
This forest is not very big. As soon as we walked in, we could vaguely see the head. As we were walking, suddenly a "quacking" sound sounded above our heads. Pang Xiaotai quickly raised his gun and pointed it at the tree where the sound came from. A
The big bird suddenly flew up, circled in the air, and flew towards Qingling Cliff. I vaguely saw that this big bird looked like an eagle, with flower wings and a pointed beak. Instructor Shui said: "Don't be nervous, everyone."
, is a harrier unique to Siling Mountain, called the "Seven-flowered Harrier". It has seven different colors of patterns on its body. It is a small bird that hunts for food at night." Pang Xiaotai muttered: "Grandma, that scares me.
Jump!" I heard Zhang Li, who was walking beside me, burst into laughter.
About five minutes later, we walked out of the woods, and the cliff in front of us suddenly appeared in front of us. A stream appeared in front of us. The water instructor turned around and said: "This is the "Little Styx River" when we came, flowing under the cliff.
Black Snake Tan, do you still remember what happened to Chu Yunlong? Don't get close to it. Let's go around it to the right. Black Snake Tan is also a very strange water pool. Let's just go around it together to avoid any problems and delay us.
time." I couldn't help but blush when I heard Instructor Shui talking about me. Fortunately, it was late at night and dark, so no one else could see it.
So we started walking to the right along a distance of three to four meters from the shore of the "Little Styx River". After walking for about a hundred meters, we saw from a distance a pool of less than ten square feet under the cliff. The color was pitch black, and I
I thought to myself, the water from the "Little Styx River" flows into this pool. There must be something evil in this pool, so it's better to stay away and not mess with it!
After walking about four to five hundred meters, we bypassed the Black Snake Tan, and naturally also bypassed the "Little Styx River", and arrived at the foot of the cliff on the right side of Qingling Cliff. Instructor Shui stopped and turned around
He said to us in a serious tone: "This Qingling Cliff is the westernmost cliff of Xishan Mountain, which is also Siling Mountain. It is about 13 meters high. Now we have to use a cable gun to drive the rope up, and then we have to go up one by one.
Climb up, I guess the corpse wolf should have climbed up by now, everyone should be careful!" After saying that, he took off his backpack from his back, opened it and took out a crossbow-like cable gun, and pointed it at the cliff with a "bang"
With a shot, the round claws on the rope grabbed the rock above the cliff. The water instructor pulled it with his hands and it was still strong. He turned around and said, "I will go up first, and then Zhang Li will go up, and the others will go up one by one."
Follow me!" At this time, Jiao Yiming hurriedly walked over and said, "Instructor, I'll go up first! If the corpse wolf casts some spell on the top of the cliff, it's easier for me to go up first and deal with it!" Instructor Shui looked at him.
Said: "That's fine! You have to be careful!" Jiao Yiming nodded, spit into the palm of his hand, grabbed the rope with both hands, stepped on the protruding rocks on the cliff, and climbed up slowly.
After a while, it turned into a small black spot. In about three minutes, I saw him climbing up the cliff. In a few seconds, he shined a flashlight down, which meant that there was no problem and he could go up.
So. Instructor Shui was the first, Zhang Li was the second, I was the third, and the others followed. It took everyone a meal to reach the top of the cliff.
When I came up, I found that the top of the cliff was about dozens of square meters in size, covered with weeds, and was as high as a person's knee. Looking forward, there was a pine tree about fifty meters away. It was estimated to be about a hundred years old, and it was as thick as a person's waist.
, about ten meters high. After everyone got on, the water instructor took away the rope and everyone started to walk forward. After passing the pine tree, we saw the wall of the towering mountain in front of us, with thick growths on it.
Weeds, there is no road anymore. At this time, I asked Instructor Shui: "Instructor, there is no road, where is the place we are looking for?". Instructor Shui did not speak, just looked at the weeds on the mountain wall.
At this time, the little clerk suddenly shouted to our left: "Look, everyone! There are traces of someone moving here!" We all walked over. On the mountain wall opposite to where the little clerk was standing, there was a patch of weeds that seemed a little bit wild.
Tilted, instructor Shui walked over and said: "Everyone, move to both sides, be careful!" As he said that, he took the AK47 from my hand and carefully opened the thatch bit by bit, slowly one by one was as tall as one person.
, a dark cave of unknown depth appeared in front of us. Then instructor Shui picked up a stone and threw it in. After a while, we only heard the sound of the stone "pop, pop, pop", and then there was no sound for a while. I thought to myself
:Strange! Didn’t the corpse wolf set up any mechanism or spell? Maybe he thought that the "Black Snake Dragon" alone would be more difficult for us to deal with?
Jiao Yiming came over, turned on the strong military flashlight, and said to us: "Everyone, I come first!" Pang Xiaotai also squeezed over and said: "I'm with you, you hold the flashlight, and I hold the gun!" Jiao Yiming
Ming said: "That's fine!" The two of them slowly followed the path and walked in. The rest of us held our guns and watched nervously as they walked in. After about ten seconds, we heard Pang Xiaotai's voice inside.
"Come in, it's very deep and big inside, there's no problem." So, everyone filed in. After entering, it was pitch black. Instructor Shui said: "In order to save power and deal with the unknown situation behind, ten of us will open five
A flashlight, others turn on the safety of the gun, and be careful!" We all said in unison: "Yes!" Then, five flashlights were turned on, and the situation in the cave could be seen clearly. The cave is very deep, and it is difficult to see at a glance.
At the end, the cave walls on both sides were not wide, and there were about four or five people lined up in a row. The cave was very humid, and there were still drops of water dripping from some places on the top of the cave. The four walls of the cave were very rough, and rocks protruded from time to time.
, it looked like a naturally formed cave type. The ground probably had some accumulated water due to the year-round humidity and water dripping from the roof of the cave, and it was also somewhat bumpy. We all started to walk forward slowly, one foot deeper and one foot shallower.
Gradually, I felt colder and colder. This cave must be very deep! I don’t know how many years it has been hidden in the mountain. I heard Pang Xiaotai murmur in a low voice: "Why is this cave so dark and cold? It's really
Evil door!" Instructor Shui said: "I heard from Mr. Cen that this hole is very deep. It must have been formed for tens of thousands of years. The terrain in front will gradually go down, and then there will be many faults. If we go well, it will probably take several years.
It will take 3 days to get down to where we want to go." I asked casually: "So Mr. Cen has been here before? What exactly is here? What is there?" Instructor Shui was silent for a while, and then said:
"Mr. Cen and some people did come in twenty years ago, but they did not reach the final destination because they encountered many strange things and strange creatures. At that time, there was no preparation, and there were no good weapons and equipment.
, so the losses were heavy! In the end, nine people came in and two people escaped. One was Mr. Cen, and the other was said to be a warlock. Mr. Cen was in a coma for a few days after he went out, and the warlock's whereabouts were unknown. I now doubt
, The Corpse Wolf found this cave so quickly, probably it has something to do with the warlock back then." I continued: "Maybe the person who hindered Zhang Li's Tianyan and the hiding of the "Black Snake Dragon" Cauldron was the one.
Warlock! But, I don’t know what the relationship between that warlock and Mr. Cen is? Then why did the warlock help form the corpse wolves?" Instructor Shui was silent for a while, sighed and said: "I don’t know, now we have come in.
, everyone be careful!”
Hearing this, everyone continued to move forward in silence. At this point, although everyone felt that this cave was scary or contained unknown dangers. I even thought: Is it possible for me to get out of this cave alive? But
When I thought about my status as a soldier, my responsibilities, and the fact that my comrades, instructor Shui, and Zhang Li were both fearless and unflinching, I felt that I had no reason to consider my own life or death.
In the darkness, no one knew how long they had been walking. For those who were walking in caves that were deep underground or in the mountains, everyone actually had no concept of time. As the instructor Shui said, the terrain began to extend diagonally downwards.
While walking in the downward direction, the temperature suddenly seemed to rise and became a lot warmer. At this time, Pang Xiaotai, who was walking at the front, suddenly said: "Strange? There is a stone monument here." We all stopped.
, walked forward to take a look, everyone's flashlights were all on the stele, and they saw that they were all symbols or tadpole-like words. Instructor Shui looked at it and said: "This is a ghost text, and it is the same as when we enter the two boundary points."
The words on that stone tablet are the same, and what is written on this tablet means, the realm of life and death. The following sentences are: Once you pass through the realm of life and death, the living will die, the dead will live, and under the seventh level of netherworld, you can almost see Yama."
, when she finished reading, I couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that down there is the legendary underworld, the Hall of Hell?
Instructor Shui whispered in the darkness: "Mr. Cen told me that he reached the fourth floor when he entered the cave, saw many magical creatures, and was attacked by them. In the end, only he and the warlock were left.
With the help of the warlock, he was injured and escaped from the cave." He paused and said, "You all must have questions, what exactly happened to Mr. Cen in this cave? What creatures did he see? Did they come here?
What are you looking for in the cave? Let me tell you here that when Mr. Cen woke up from his coma, he had lost a lot of memories about this cave. After so many years of memories, all he told me was: there are many different things in the cave.
Things that are in line with the science of modern civilization and unknown organisms. I can't remember the rest. So, we can only explore step by step on our own." After saying this, he motioned for everyone to continue moving forward.
