The pit was pitch black and stuffy, low and narrow, and Song Yang couldn't raise his head at all, but because he could only crawl, he saved the force of the injured leg. He leaned on his hands and right leg, which was enough to maintain the speed of moving forward.
The strange lizard digs a hole and only allows it to pass by itself. Needless to say, the pit is rugged and difficult to move, but it also has the same benefit: if there is no fork, the first cave will be curved. Song Yang at least doesn’t have to work hard to distinguish the direction, so it will save you a lot of worry when tracking it.
Song Yang was crawling hard, but before he could chase him too far, he suddenly felt clever and supported his hands with both hands to stop moving forward, then he raised his sword and shoveled his eyes and stared at the front.
This place is only one meter away from the ground, and the darkness in the cave is more thick but not purely enough. Song Yang's night eyes can come in handy. He could see clearly. He was several feet away from his body, and was lying on a monster lizard, facing him, staring at him with dim yellow eyes.
The monster lizard was still holding a little baby in his mouth, but the baby's face was gray and bleeding from his seven orifices, and he was already dead and could not be saved.
Song Yang focused his mind and was not very nervous...
Since he dared to jump into the tunnel, he had an estimate of the possible danger. There are only two situations that are really troublesome. One is that a strange lizard is catching up and biting his feet. The other is that a large group of strange lizards find someone following him behind him, and turn their heads and scatter from all directions to attack.
But he is now at the end of the enemy's team, and he is the last one, so there is no need to worry about the enemy behind him; and the tunnel is narrow, and the monsters in front of him must first disperse their "one-character snake formation" and then dig a new road to detour to complete the encirclement. If that happens, Song Yang has no other way, so he can only rush to the ground and escape from a distance.
At this moment, Song Yang was in the tunnel, and almost every inch of his body was in contact with the soil. If the monster lizard opened up a new road and turned around, it would be impossible to hide the movements of the digging when he was digging. At least he could detect the danger in advance and escape in time.
The situation was very clear at this moment. The monster lizard did not launch any fierce offensive, but one of them turned around and turned back to see what was following them behind them.
Song Yang was not worried at all when he was facing the strange lizard in the pit.
If the opponent attacks in such a terrain, he can only swallow or let go of the little baby's body and rush over to open his mouth and bite Song Yang. He is 100% sure of such a close distance. As long as the monster lizard opens its mouth, the sharp weapon in his hand will shoot away and cut directly into its throat. Song Yang tried it at dawn yesterday that the monster lizard's mouth does not have phioblastoma armor, which is very soft.
Now Song Yang only had one level of doubt and another level of hesitation. The questioning how the other party turned around. The hesitation was whether to shoot out the knife in his left hand or throw out the shovel in his right hand... But unexpectedly, the nostrils of the monster lizard contracted twice, as if they had sniffed carefully, and then they sniffed like a sneeze, and then slowly retreated, which was not bad for Song Yang.
The enemy retreats, will I advance?
The dead doll in the mouth of the lizard was at least three or four years old and was fat. It could be seen that he was very favored at home, but now he turned into a cold corpse. The fear and pain before death were frozen on his little face forever. His eyes were not completely closed, and there was still a gap, and some lifeless gaze leaked out, looking at Song Yang quietly.
The enemy retreated, and Song Yang advanced.
The lizard retreated very slowly, and it was useless for Song Yang to be anxious. If he really wanted to kill it, it would cause the vigilance of the monster lizard in front, and it would block the tracking path. He could only patiently go down. As it retreated, it climbed forward foot by foot, and climbed dozens of feet. The surrounding tunnel suddenly became spacious, but the height did not change, and it still made people unable to look up. This space was round, about a radius of more than acres. The monster lizard finally turned around and turned his head, ignoring Song Yang, and following the direction of the original marching, he chased the same kind in front at a very fast speed.
After passing through the open space, the tunnel became narrow and rugged again. Song Yang did not say a word and crawled hard, following the strange lizard in front... After crawling for more than a hundred feet, a disc-like open area appeared in the tunnel again. At this point, Song Yang suddenly realized that when these lizards were digging holes and marching, they would create such a spacious place at any time to turn or rest collectively. No wonder the strange lizard in front could turn quietly and turn back to face his eyes.
The strange lizard seemed to agree with Song Yang's identity and let him follow him, neither hostility nor defense... Song Yang was puzzled, even though he had already found someone following him, they ignored him?
After thinking about it, Song Yang found an explanation for himself: If there was a bowl of steaked beef sticks coming home with him, he wouldn't say anything. It probably was the same thing? It was rare that someone would follow them without dragging them. It was too late to welcome the big lizard?
In fact, Song Yang didn't understand one thing.
The monster lizards have eyes, but when they are in the dark underground, a dark yellow film will rise in their eyes, which looks like they still have eyes. In fact, they will lose their eyes by themselves. Whether they capture prey or distinguish their companions, they rely on excellent sense of smell, which is almost the same as the loach monster in the sea of flowers.
The monster lizard didn't look at Song Yang at all, but was smelling him. You should know that Song Yang was still wrapped in the lizard skin that he had taken off this morning. The fishy smell fell into the smell of the monster lizard. The information it showed was simple, and the person who came behind him was a similar type.
After all, the strange lizards are cold-blooded beasts, cruel but have no wisdom to speak of. They do not think and only know how to follow their instincts. Although Song Yang who followed behind crawled in a quiet state, although Song Yang was inexplicably coming, the authentic and similar taste on their bodies is enough to dispel all doubts.
But for Song Yang, in the eyes of lizards, he doesn't care whether he is a "steaked beef strip" or a similar type, or anything else. He continues to chase and be careful, he will continue to do the same thing before, now, and then continue to do the same thing in the future...
The monster lizard moves quickly in the tunnel and crawls fast. And this kind of thing has amazing endurance. At first, Song Yang can still keep up, but after chasing for a while, as his physical strength is exhausted, his speed is slower and slower, and the injured leg dragged behind him becomes heavier.
The giant lizard in front did not mean to stop and wait for the "companion". It just kept its head shut and rushed forward, leaving Song Yang far behind.
Song Yang crawled alone. After a long time, when passing by a "disc", Song Yang paused and turned over and lay on the ground, breathing heavily. The giant lizard in front of him had long disappeared. According to common sense, the hard work and dangers of chasing along the way have been wasted and there is no need to chase him anymore - time has been delayed for too long, and the baby caught is probably no longer in the moment.
But Song Yang took a break, turned over again, and continued to track... He had a doubt: What did the strange lizard do to catch the little baby in Shamin? If it was just to fill his stomach, it would just be swallowed in a few bites when he caught the baby. You should know that this place is a wasteland, the soil is poor and the food is scarce. Predators here may not be able to eat a full meal in ten days and half a month. Finally, they could encounter delicious food, but they could still resist their appetite and take it home for a meal?
Song Yang did not go into the cause, but he could understand that this doubt in his heart might be the hope that some little kids can survive.
After crawling for a while, the tunnel finally changed a little. Song Yangneng felt that the tunnel was slowly stretching downward, extending towards the depths of the earth little by little.
Song Yang stopped again.
Although the tunnels passed by before were rugged and difficult to move, the depth remained unchanged and were always about one meter away from the ground. Because the soil layer was shallow, Song Yang was sure that once the ferocious beast attacked, he could rush to crush the soil and rocks and quickly jumped onto the ground to escape. But now if you chase them, the tunnel will extend downward. Every time you crawl, it will be farther away from the ground. It will be difficult to rush to the ground when you encounter danger.
Self-protection has become a problem. Do you still have to continue to save people?
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yang let out a gentle breath, clenched the sharp blade in his hand tighter, moved his body again, and continued to track him...
In the dark tunnel, time had completely lost its concept. Song Yang couldn't calculate, and he was too lazy to calculate how long he had crawled. His mind became drowsy. The tunnel continued to extend downwards. After moving away from the ground, the air became turbid, perhaps due to fatigue, or breathing. There were several times when Song Yang almost fell asleep. Fortunately, he understood that if he fell asleep in such an environment, he might not be able to wake up again, so he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
It was too far this way, and twice during this period, Song Yang had to stop, eat some dry food and drink some water in the tunnel, otherwise he would be unable to sustain his strength. He had to climb to a point where he had to eat. What is this concept? Even if he couldn't count the time, he could at least know that this tracking was no longer a few hours, but at least two or three days!
In order to track down a few irrelevant kids, Song Yang has been away from Shamin, but the brigade will leave obvious traces. As long as he can go back safely, it is not difficult to track Shamin.
After climbing like this for a while, the air finally became fresh. Song Yang breathed in big mouths, and at the same time he knew that the air began to flow and the outlet should be not far away.
Sure enough, he walked forward more than a hundred feet, and a small hole appeared at the end of his eyes.
It was pitch black outside the entrance of the cave. I couldn't see clearly what was outside for the time being, but I just vaguely felt that the space outside was spacious and it was a big place...
The strange lizard's nest outside should be the one outside. Song Yang didn't dare to rush up directly, focused his ears and listened carefully.
Neither the movements of the giant lizard nor the crying of the dolls, there was no sound outside the cave, as if it was dead, and Song Yang could not hear anything, but in a trance, his eyes caught a ray of light.
It flashed like a ghost fire. When he wanted to look carefully, it became darker in front of him.
At this moment, I don’t know how far away from the ground, how could there be light in the depths of the ground? Song Yang lay quietly on his back, waited for a while, but never saw the "ghost fire" flashing again, and still couldn’t hear any sound in his ears. He waved his knife to cut off a piece of lizard skin wrapped around his body and threw it out. He only heard the first "pa" sound that echoed on the ground, and then he became silent again.
Song Yang didn't wait. He chased after him through hardships not to lie at the entrance of the cave to listen to the sound. He moved his body carefully and moved so slowly that it was impossible to increase, but he did not make a sound. He kept approaching the entrance of the cave. After finding a position, he stretched his head out and then took a breath of air conditioning.
He originally planned to do a quick look and immediately retracted his head no matter what he saw, but he never expected such a scene in front of him!
The cave was unprecedentedly spacious and spacious. A bluestone-paved avenue was straight forward. There were some corpses scattered on both sides of the avenue, with occasional phosphorescence flashing. The glimmer he caught inadvertently just now should be the phosphorescence ghost fire that exploded on the bones. This is not surprising. What really shocked Song Yang was that there were actually people on the bluestone Avenue, and many people.
Pedestrians were bustling on the road, some drove carriages, some carried baskets, and more were walking empty-handed. At first glance, there were no less than hundreds of people on the road. At this moment, all the people who were rushing to the road were doing the same thing: looking back... Everyone was facing Song Yang's back, but it seemed as if they knew that someone was snooping behind them, so everyone was looking back and looking at Song Yang.
He didn't hear any sound just now, and Song Yang never dreamed that such a scene would be happening in front of him. After a moment of staring at him, he felt his scalp explode and he hurriedly shrank his head back.
This fact was so exciting that Song Yang could not stand it no matter how brave he was. His heart was as beating as a drum, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his breathing. The palm of his hand holding the sharp blade was layer by layer.
After listening carefully, the outside was still as silent as death... Song Yang calmed down, and after calming down, he realized something was wrong and poked his head out again to look around.
On the way, everyone was still looking back at him, comparing to the fact that the movement had not changed slightly, and no one made any sound, and they didn't even breathe. This time, Song Yang really saw the clue. As expected, all these "things" on the way were not alive at all, they were all stone sculptures.
However, the craftsmen were exquisite in their craftsmanship, and each statue was carved vividly and colored after completion, making them dressed in different clothes and hair and beards. The eyes of the sculpture were even more vivid. As long as they were behind them, no matter from which angle they looked, it seemed as if they were staring at themselves.
Song Yang kept his mind calm, his eyes turned and carefully observed, and there was no trace of giant lizard around him. He immediately jumped out of the pit, jumped hard on one leg a few times, and stepped on the road paved with bluestone.
There were hard stone slabs under his feet. Unexpectedly, the lizard could still attack from below. The ferocious beasts had no chance to attack. Then Song Yang carefully observed the stone sculptures on the road.
It is completely life-sized, with accurate proportions and excellent carvings. Especially the styling design of "everyone looks back" is even more unique. Just now, Song Yang was so scared by the ancient sculptures that everyone was so scared that he was so heartbroken that he was so angry that he was not wronged.
Song Yang was amazed at the sight. The craftsman who designed these sculptures seemed to have expected that future generations would visit him thousands of years later, so he let everyone on the way turn back. Anyone who comes will be scared to death.
Those craftsmen are quite fun to play with such exquisite craftsmanship.
I was scared just now, but now I figured it out, Song Yang was both angry and funny. He even thought in his heart that if he had time and opportunity in the future, he would have to turn them all around and let the stone sculpture look back and look at the road. While he was thinking about it, he subconsciously pushed a stone statue beside him to try the weight, but unexpectedly, he pushed the stone statue without moving.
After an accident, he lowered his head and looked carefully. Then Song Yang suddenly realized that the stone sculpture was closely connected to the bluestone slab under his feet, and it was simply a stone.
This is true for every stone sculpture. They were not placed on it, and the soles of the feet and the stone slabs were integrated.
Song Yang was shocked. In ancient times, craftsmen made huge rocks over the years. While grinding out a road, they also carved countless stone statues. The road was straight forward and could not see at a glance. How much manpower and material resources would be used for such a craft and such a scale?
Song Yang, who has no memory, cannot be estimated at all.
Looking at the corpses on both sides of the road, the flesh and clothing were rotten, and there were occasionally some copper and iron tools scattered between the corpses, but they were not rusted and shattered with a slight touch with their hands. Obviously, they were old, and perhaps they were craftsmen who were craftsmen who were digging this miracle. During their lifetime, they had extraordinary skills, but died while working, and were thrown by their companions to the side of the road, not even buried.
At this moment, the surroundings are empty, but strictly speaking, it is still a tunnel, but it is countless times wider than the soil path excavated by the lizard. The direction has not changed, and there is no other way around. Song Yang no longer entangled with the stone statues, and raised his spirits to continue moving forward. From the beginning of his "entering to the ground" to now, it has been more than two days at the slowest time. If you can't find the little kid of Shamin who was kidnapped by the monster lizard, even if they are not bitten to death or eaten, they will not be able to have a chance.
He ran forward lightly and heavyly, stopping from time to time to smell the smell. The crowd around him was still bustling, but after running for a while, the stone statues on the road became normal. He no longer looked back, but looked forward and made a rush.
Even though he knew that the people around him were just stone statues, after walking on this road for a while, Song Yang's heart gradually became cold. The carvings of the stone statues were so outstanding that everyone kept moving. Even if they were all alive, it would make people feel illusioned, as if the smile patterns on their faces just wrinkled will spread out in their slightly opened mouths, and the forefoots they lifted will step on the ground!
On the strange and gloomy stone road, what solidified was not the cold stone figure, but time. Just when Song Yang was sweating unconsciously deep in his back, the light in front of him suddenly became much stronger... It was still the phosphorescence ghost fire from the corpse, but before, there were only a few corpses scattered on the side of the road, and the ghost fires that emerged flashed by, but now, not far ahead, there were mountain corpses piled up on both sides of the road.
The number of corpses increased sharply, and the phosphorescence flashed more frequently. The stars suddenly opened up like a galaxy. Unfortunately, there was no clear night here, only infinite gloom.
The next moment, Song Yang heard the crying.
The crying was weak and intermittent. If Song Yang had not had the strong ears and energy, he would have no chance to notice it.
Following the sound, Song Yang looked up at a pile of corpses, and the little kid's cry came from the top.
