As he spoke, he pressed his entire palm to the ground. He immediately pushed the grass that had been covered with a pit. Liu Shangang probably didn't expect that the grass was empty and lost its center of gravity on the spot. He leaned forward suddenly.

Fortunately, my eyes were pretty fast, so I grabbed his arm and pulled him up from the ground.

Liu Shangang breathed a short sigh and said to me: "It seems there is a hole below."

I didn't say nonsense, and immediately pulled out the green steel sword and cut off the grass he had pressed down.

Below this layer of grass, there is indeed a hole with a width of about one and a half meters, and a large amount of scattered broken soil appears in the grass around the hole.

Liu Shangang immediately took the trail mirror and looked into the hole, saying, "There is blood."

He wanted to go down as he spoke. I blocked him and asked him to follow him. Then he supported the hole wall with both hands and began to slide slowly.

We don’t know how deep this hole is, but we don’t have time to think about it so much now. If we move slowly, the situation of Wu Lin and Cidan Dawu will be a little more dangerous.

As it turned out, I was right to not jump down the hole directly. The hole was very deep. As we continued to fall, the air became more and more turbid, and the corpse gas in it became thicker and thicker. After more than ten minutes of the hole, I felt difficult to breathe.

At this time, Liu Shangang turned on the flashlight above my head. He shook the beam of light first. When I felt the lights scattered, I knew he had something to say, so I leaned my neck and looked at him.

Liu Shangang took something out of his backpack and shook it at me. Since I was just in the backlight, I couldn't see what was in his hand, but I understood that he was probably telling me that he was going to throw the thing at me and let me catch it.

I nodded at him, then he shook his arm and threw the thing at me. When I reached out to catch it, I saw it clearly. It was an air mask with a headband. I have used this thing several times in the past. There is a button on the side of the mask. Press it to send a sound to others.

I pressed the hole wall with my feet to prevent myself from falling down and quickly put on my mask. I looked up at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai again. Liu Shangang shook the beam again before I continued to slide down.

"Brother Dao, it may be almost the end." Liu Shangang's voice came from the mask. I "um" and slowed down the sliding speed, while increasing the strength in my hands.

Not long after, I suddenly felt my feet empty, and my hands immediately increased a little force. At that time, half of my body was already hanging in the air, and I had to rely on both hands to support the hole wall so that I could not fall down.

I looked down at my feet, and the beam of light shining from Liu Shangang fell about three meters below me, forming a spot of light that was neither big nor small.

Liu Shangang shook the flashlight again. I saw that the spots under my feet had not become larger or smaller. This means that about three meters below my feet was a relatively flat ground, without too much potholes and ups and downs.

I let go of my hand and let my body fall vertically. The moment my feet touched the ground, I quickly made another buffer.

Liu Shangang landed behind me. Because Liu Shangang's backpack was too wide and too big, he also rubbed the mud at the entrance of the hole when he fell. Some of them were scattered on the ground, while others were directly on the side pocket of the backpack.

He pinched a little bit of soil from his backpack, crushed it on the tip of his fingers, and then pointed the light at the mud that was crushed by him, and then said to me: "It's less than three hours since I was dug out of this hole."

Only three hours? In other words, the hole was dug out during the period when the medicinal properties of the sweat drug occurred.

I carefully recalled the location of the cave entrance, and then thought about the location of the earth building. Between these two points, there was a dense fir forest. Even if someone broke ground here, Wu Lin could not see it on the small building. But he was such a vigilant person. Someone dug a hole in the ground in his eyelids, but he didn't notice it at all?

Liu Shangang's voice pulled me back from my thoughts: "Why did the sound of running water disappear after I came in?"

After he reminded me, I noticed that the sound of water I heard outside the cave had indeed disappeared. I originally thought there was a river vein below the cave with a not too fast flow rate, but why did the sound of water flow disappear when I got here?

At this time, Liu Shangang brought the trace mirror again. He used the vision brought to him by the instrument to carefully observe the situation ahead. Not long after, he took off the trace mirror and stuffed it back into his backpack.

I frowned and looked at Liu Shangang. Liu Shangang also turned his face to me. His voice came from his mask: "The blood disappeared ten meters away. It was not artificially covered, but naturally disappeared. Brother Dao, I suspect there is a river with a large flow in front of me. The water vapor raised in the river has accumulated in front, forming a puddle or a thin layer of water, and the blood has been melted there."

As soon as I nodded, Liu Shangang spoke again: "Brother Dao, the environment here is very complicated. Do we still need to continue chasing? In addition, the direction of the bloodstains that ended up spreading is towards the altar."

Liu Shangang's words made me fall into a brief thought again. chasing or not? Chasing, we came in a hurry and were not prepared enough, but Renqing should be very familiar with the environment here. If he forced to chase after him, it is very dangerous. If he doesn't chase, Wu Lin and Cidan's great witch are both in the hands of Renqing. If we stop chasing, they might die because of this.

I can't stand by death and refuse to help me. In addition, Liu Shangang also said that the final extension of the blood stain was towards the altar, which means that the place where we are located is likely to be connected to the tomb. I still suspect that the tomb we are looking for is just below the altar.

Chase!

"Chasing!" I pressed the button on my mask and responded briefly.

Liang Houzai took out a few evil-proof talismans and put them on Liu Shangang's back. I also took out a few pieces of shoyang candy and stuffed them into Liu Shangang's pocket.

Liu Shangang quickly took off his cover and stuffed a piece of Yang Yan candy into his mouth.

When he put on the mask on his face, his brows had already twisted into the character "chuan". It seemed that the yarrow in the Shoyang Candy had begun to work.

I took the lead, Liu Shangang was the backbone, and Liang Houzai was behind the palace. The three of us formed the most commonly used formation and quickly advanced towards the direction facing the altar.

Liu Shangang was right. After we walked out about ten meters, a large amount of water appeared under our feet, and the moisture in the air became very heavy. In just a few minutes, a layer of thin water droplets hung on my arms exposed outside my clothes.

When he first came in, the space was still very spacious, and the surrounding darkness could not be seen at a glance, but as he continued to move forward, the space became narrower. When Liu Shangang shook the flashlight, the beam could already sweep the earth walls on both sides.

There seemed to be a special hard mud on the walls. Many places looked like they were formed in one piece, and there were a lot of holes in some places, with sharp cracks around the holes, and fragments similar to tiles scattered on the ground.

As the distance between the left and right became narrower, this huge space had "collapsed" into a tunnel with a width of only two meters. Liang Houzai reached out and touched the road wall very close to us, and then his voice came from the mask: "It's Tao."

I looked at him and then at the hard mud attached to the wall.

Liang Houzai continued: "A layer of dried clay is attached to the wall. Brother Dao, look carefully and these stones are very strange."

After the clay was broken, large areas of soil appeared, and I also found that there were also some huge stones inlaid in these soils. However, in such a dark environment, since the things illuminated by flashlight were all black and white, it was difficult for me to see that there were other substances in the soil. It was also reminded by Liang Houzai that I found that the area of ​​his finger reflected a brighter luster under the light.

I looked at the stones carefully and felt that the uneven marks on it looked like some ancient marks, but after years of moisture corrosion, it was impossible to distinguish the specific content of the marks.

I pressed the button on the mask: "Haozai, can you tell the contents of those marks?"

Liang Houzai shook his head straight: "It's hard to tell, but they look like a bunch of long worms entrenched together. Look, all the marks are the same, which is very unusual."

Liu Shangang: "Why is it unusual?"

Liang Houzai: "The craftsmanship of the pattern is obviously very rough, but it also has to deliberately keep the thickness of the marks consistent. I always feel that these marks seem to be a reminder for those entering here."

I didn't have much energy to study the murals, and waved to Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, signaling them to continue moving forward.

At this time, Liang Houzai's voice appeared in my mask again: "Why is the moisture here so heavy? But we haven't seen Dihe until now. These marks may be the reason."

I pressed the button on the mask: "Haoduo, saving people is important, put the marks first."

After that, Liang Houzai didn't speak anymore.

When the width of the tunnel was shortened to two meters, it did not change anymore. Liu Shangang used a flashlight to shine the top of our heads. He could see the shadow of the tree roots at a very high place. We had already arrived at the fir forest where the mountain god was hiding.

The corpse gas in front became very strong. I stopped and let Liu Shangang shook the flashlight. The pale beam of light swung back and forth in the darkness for a few times. There was nothing in front, but with the opportunity of his movement of light, I saw that the road ahead was extending downwards.

I looked back at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai and said, "Be careful." They both nodded at the same time.

I am more worried about Liang Houzai's situation now. Since I saw the marks on the stone, I feel that something was wrong with his condition, but this is just a feeling, and I am not sure where his problem lies.

I felt relieved when I saw him nodding at me, turned around and continued to move forward.

Before I could walk a few steps, the road surface had a slope. Due to the heavy moisture and the ground was slippery, I could only lower the center of gravity and move down the slope little by little.

But even if the center of gravity is lowered, the excessively slippery ground still makes it difficult for us to stabilize our bodies. On several occasions, I slipped down a distance like a slide because I didn't step on my feet. Sometimes Liu Shangang or Liang Houzai would slip down accidentally like me. Every time they could hit me, pushing me down for a while.

Whenever the body slides uncontrollably, we must put force on our waists to prevent ourselves from falling. If we fall in this place, we can only slide all the way, and the faster we slide, and it is impossible to get up again. No one knows what is at the bottom of this ramp. If we slide uncontrollably, there may be only a dead end.

We moved carefully for a long distance, and the corpse gas below the ramp faded a little, then became stronger at a faster speed.
Chapter completed!
