Chapter 2776 Ghost Cave (fourth update)
After walking for a while, a cave appeared in front of us.
The light above the head outside began to become very weak, but when I looked inside from the entrance of the cave, it was even darker.
It’s so dark that you can’t see your fingers.
"There is a hole here, do we want to go in?" Luo Fengtang asked everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, Qi Xingyun and Tuobaling were silent and thinking.
Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other again. Neither of them was in a hurry to ask questions, nor did they make up their minds.
Why?
This time the couple simply accompanied Qi Xingyun and Tuobaling into the mountains to find the sword. The two of them were the parties involved, and the parties involved made the decision.
Ge Dadan came over and took a look at the dark hole.
Then he said to everyone with a horrified look on his face: "This cave might be the lair of a mountain ghost. People here call it a ghost cave."
"No one has ever gone into a ghost cave, oh my god." Yeah, let's go back, it's a gloomy road, and the air-conditioning is coming out of the cave..." he said.
Luo Fengtang said nothing, his eyes falling on Qi Xingyun and Tuobaling.
Qi Xingyun raised his head and said to everyone: "Since we have arrived, how can we return without success?"
Tuobaling also made up his mind at this time. Said: "I agree with Brother Zhongtang, let alone a ghost cave, even if it is a dragon pool and a tiger's den, I will explore it!"
Ge Dadan begged: "Masters, I call you doctors ancestors, so don't take risks."
"Boss Ling, I know you are rich, but what if your life depends on this ghost?" There is no one to help you spend so much money in the cave!”
“We should cherish life and stay away from ghost caves. The older generation said that whoever dares to enter the ghost cave will be attacked by mountain ghosts! Punishment!" he said.
Tuo Ba Ling's face turned cold, "If you don't want to come in, I won't force you. I will give you ten taels of silver now, but if you continue to say these words that harm the morale of the army, don't blame me for being rude!"
As Tuobaling said, he showed something in his hand.
There was a flash of cold light, and it turned out to be a knife.
Ge Dadan was so frightened that he shut up immediately.
The minority obeyed the majority, and everyone entered the ghost cave.
Luo Fengtang still took the lead, with Qi Xingyun and Yang Ruoqing walking beside him.
Tuoba Ling walked behind the three of them, followed by Damo and Ge Dadan.
Everyone walked down without talking.
The ghost cave is not a hole like a water well that falls straight down with a bang, but a hole similar to a bomb shelter that extends slanting toward the ground.
The inside of the cave is relatively narrow, and after just a few steps, there is no room for three people walking side by side.
It was changed to a one-way street, and the diameter and height of the hole can only allow an adult to walk through it.
The ground was wet, and because there was no sunlight, it had a strong smell of moisture and mold.
Occasionally, there was the sound of dripping water. It should be that water droplets penetrated from the top of the head and fell on the stones on the cave wall, making a weak and crisp sound.
Everyone's breathing became heavy, and they walked forward step by step, walking and walking, walking and walking, until they forgot the time.
The surroundings are getting quieter and quieter, so quiet that it seems like we have entered another world.
"It's so dark, do we really not want to light a torch?" Damo's voice suddenly sounded, echoing in this narrow and long black hole.
He was asking Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing stopped and realized that even though she was in darkness, the leader and the follower were walking smoothly.
Except Damo and Ge Dayan.
Why?
Because except for the two of them who are out-and-out mountain people, the other four, including herself, are all real practitioners.
This night vision ability showed up immediately in such a harsh environment. "Brother Damo, try not to light torches." Yang Ruoqing said.
“Why? Because there might be some dangerous things in this dark hole.”
“It would be better if we don’t light the torch. Light the torch. When the time comes, We become a moving target in the dark," she said.
When Damo heard this, he felt that this was the truth and stopped talking about it.
Ge Dadan said: "But my walking is bumpy. Can you let me walk in the middle? I'm afraid it will be too dark and I will fall behind."
Before Yang Ruoqing could say anything, Tuoba Ling said: "I'll take the back seat."
Then he went straight to the back of the team, looking calm and relaxed, he really was the God of War of Daliao.
Not to mention the two people leading the way.
Being with these three god-of-war figures, to be honest, Yang Ruoqing didn't feel scared at all.
It’s full of security.
Of course, Ge Dadan and Damo didn't know the inside story, and they were obviously very scared.
At this time, it was Yang Ruoqing's turn to take care of Damo.
"Brother Damo, come on, I'll walk beside you, don't be afraid." She said.
Da Mo smiled gratefully at Yang Ruoqing. In the darkness, Yang Ruoqing could see clearly.
The crowd continued to walk forward. Heavy breathing and chaotic footsteps sounded one after another in the darkness, as if several stones were pressed on people's hearts. It was dull and... Depressed.
"It's so uncomfortable. Where are we going? I feel like we've been walking all day. Are we going to hell?" Behind him, Ge Dadan was tortured by the darkness and almost collapsed. There was a lot of yelling.
"Shut up!" Tuoba Ling shouted coldly, and was about to say harsh words to threaten him. At this time, Luo Fengtang, who had been leading the way, suddenly stopped.
"Brother Datang, why don't you leave?" Qi Xingyun asked.
Luo Fengtang tilted his head, as if trying to listen, and said: "There is the sound of water flowing in front."
"Water flowing?"
Everyone was surprised and listened carefully.
"It really is!"
Soon, Qi Xingyun and others also heard it. Of course, Ge Dayan and Damo still couldn't hear it.
"There should be an underground river ahead." Yang Ruoqing said.
“There is an underground river, which means there is an exit. We should be at the bottom of Mianniu Mountain now, and it should be very deep.”
"Maybe, we can go out from the other side by following the underground river, and finally achieve the feat of circumnavigating Mianniu Mountain for a week."
Yang Ruoqing said these words deliberately to ease the situation. A depressing atmosphere.
Because, when people walk deep underground away from the surface for a long time, they will feel an inexplicable fear and agitation.
This is the instinct of living things, just like a fish will die if it leaves the water.
"Go on, everyone, be careful." Luo Fengtang also said, and everyone continued to move forward.
Ahead, the road gradually became wider, and the sound of water gradually became clearer. Even Damo and Ge Dayan heard it.
Moreover, there is light coming.
The pace of everyone also accelerated, and soon, everyone finally walked out of the long hole. The front suddenly became clear, and a river lay in front of everyone.
“This river is almost as wide as the river behind our village.” Yang Ruoqing said.
"Hey, there are so many fireflies on the other side of the river. These lights are probably emitted by those fireflies!" Damo said excitedly, pointing to the dots of light on the other side of the river.
