Chapter 171 Ghost Train
"You are saying that you encountered a special cyclic space, and there was a disaster in it that you didn't know what it was? And then it broke open inexplicably?"
"Yes, Master. We lost more than a dozen people, and then we were lucky enough to break through."
"What are the specific details? Is there anyone special in the team?"
"Those two guys couldn't tell clearly. They seemed to have answered something right by mistake, and they broke apart. Oh, those four people seemed to know each other. One of them is the dog king, old man Xu."
"Dog King?"
"You must have never heard of that kind of little man, young master. He is just an old man who has no ability and only knows how to hide behind when in danger. Many hunters in Innocence City know this. In addition, there are There is a young swordsman, an ordinary gunman and a doctor, but they don’t see anything special.”
“Where are those people? Find them.”
“ Master, they just signed up to go into the trap."
"Well, you did a good job, go down and collect the reward."
"Thank you, Master."
"."
In the tent of the temporary camp, Chen, the temporary captain of Ji Xun and several others, reported the information and happily went out to lead the approach.
In the main seat, Kak, who was wearing a mechanical armor, thought for a moment, turned around and asked: "Miss Bai, what do you think?"
Beside him, a long and straight man in a white dress When the girl heard this, her expression was indifferent: "The probability of killing a disaster that can form a field depends entirely on luck is extremely low. If you guessed correctly, the female doctor should be Junior Carter. And that disaster, big The probability is that she killed him too. What’s more, people are already in the trap. If they don’t want to die, they have some special purpose.”
"Yes. I think so too."
Kak nodded, with a faint stern look in his eyes, and said: "I know from the clan elder that someone in the family wants to challenge the 'Hero Trial'. Now it seems that she must be my sister Carter."
Hearing this, Bai Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? If I remember correctly, there are dozens of heroes in your Lionheart family. No one has completed it alive, right?"
Kak said with a gloomy look, "That's right. The one who completed the Hero Trial last time was my grandfather."
Completed the Hero Trial. Refining is of great significance within the Lion Heart family.
It can basically be said that he is a candidate to be the helm of the family.
And his grandfather is the legendary strongman "Silver-Eyed Lion" Kamon who is currently famous in the Federation!
Bai Wei laughed sarcastically when she heard this: "Senior Sister Carter is still so competitive. She has always wanted to be first since she was a child. I heard that she suffered a loss in Honglou and stopped for a long time. Now it seems, It’s not a small ambition.”
She said, looking at Kak with a thoughtful look.
The trial of the Lionheart family is a top secret to others, but to the Bai family, there is no secret.
Speaking of Hong Loukake, there was an unspeakable anger and fear in his heart.
The oppressive feeling of the legendary strongman’s death still made his heart palpitate after so long.
But that was also the biggest shame in his life.
He said expressionlessly: "That woman suffered a loss herself. She knew that Hong Lou had masters from the revolutionary army, but she didn't reveal any information. Instead, she induced me to have a head-on conflict with Hong Lou, and she almost almost did it because of it. I died there."
Bai Wei chuckled as she listened, "This was the method used by Junior Carter back then, and all the men in the academy were so obsessed with it."
The two didn't explain their words, but they both understood what the other wanted to express.
Kak's eyes turned cold and he did not continue to say more on this topic. Instead, he said: "Most of the information about the ruins of Xia Mu City is in the hands of my second uncle. Now that woman has gone into the trap. , 80% have some information that we don’t know. But we also have a lot of information. This time, my father also wants to find out the ruins at all costs, so I am also prepared to go into the pit myself.”
Bai Wei also nodded after listening: "Yes. Now the news has spread, and several other high councilors and high lords have sent people over. If we delay for a few more days, I'm afraid things will get out of control. It's a pity that my Bai family The master is still on the way, and it may take a few days to arrive."
As she said, she narrowed her eyes slightly: "Okay, I'll go down with you."
Ka. Ke couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "Miss Bai, do you want to go down in person?"
Originally, when we cooperated with the Bai family, we just wanted people from the Bai family to be consultants.
After all, this ancient family has mastered too many secrets, so it is perfect for them to be present in such ancient ruins.
If a master from the direct descendants of the Bai family follows along, the exploration progress will definitely be greatly enhanced.
A flash of imperceptible wisdom flashed in Bai Wei's eyes, and she said calmly: "Yes. If Junior Carter can go, of course I can go."
The Bai family can take advantage of it. Stabilizing one of the five federal parliamentary seats for two hundred years is not just a matter of Meng Yin's ancestors, but also his strength!
at the same time.
On the rock wall of the deep pit in the center of the ruins.
A group of pioneer hunters were digging into pitons and heading down into the deep pit.
The pit was filled with black fog, and the light of the searchlight was completely invisible from more than ten meters away.
“Our mission this time is to explore at least two hundred meters.”
"Everyone, be careful. People taking Route 13, follow me closely. The intelligence officer will upload the information at any time!"
"."
Somewhere on the rock wall, Ji Xunye and others Same, using ropes and mechanical hooks to slowly climb up the rock wall.
Not far from him were Catalina and Old Man Xu.
Seeing Kak and the Bai family coming to the camp, Catalina guessed that she might have been exposed, and immediately chose to go into the pit.
The four of them walked all the way down.
Ji Xun was also on full alert. Under the gas mask was a partially beastly werewolf face.
The various senses of sight, hearing, taste and smell are pushed to the extreme.
Until now, no pioneer hunter has been alive.
No one dares to be careless.
The black mist that permeates the bottom of the pit gives people the impression that there is something terrifying hidden there.
In addition, after the seal was destroyed, countless undead monsters appeared in the ruins of the city above.
Everyone thinks that the biggest danger in this pit is probably various monsters.
However, what is surprising is that this group of pioneer hunters went down extremely smoothly.
Ji Xun didn’t sense any movement from any monsters along the way.
Until they went deeper and deeper, the light from the top was no longer visible at all.
Suddenly, a burst of black fog passed by.
It seems that some special conditions were triggered, and the accident happened.
"Hey communications officer, what's going on? Why don't you speak?"
"It's bad! The rope. The rope is broken!"
"Old Xu, climb up and have a look!"
"Captain, it's bad, Old Xu can't see it either!"
"."
They seem to be trapped Trapped.
This bizarre scene suddenly made the atmosphere in the entire Pioneer Group tense.
Originally, a correspondent was left every ten meters on the rock wall to communicate the progress of the exploration.
There are also wire ropes involved.
However, suddenly, the hunters discovered to their horror that they had lost contact with the correspondent above.
Some hunters climbed up in fear, but as they climbed, the rope broke and the man disappeared into the mist.
Other hunters came down here with their settlement money to ask for money. When they encountered this situation, they suddenly panicked.
There were all kinds of terrified shouts all over the rock wall.
The four of Ji Xun came with the purpose of adventure.
When they encountered this situation, they did not feel any surprise.
The four of them gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.
After all, Catalina is a young lady from a top-notch wealthy family and has a strong reserve of knowledge. She looked at the surrounding environment and analyzed: "Looking at this situation, it's a bit like a super barrier like a 'space barrier'. Once we enter a certain area, we may actually have entered a special environment similar to an extradimensional space. .”
Ji Xun nodded and said the same thing, "It seems that those pioneer hunters who disappeared before entered here."
The two chatted for a few words without any clue, and instinctively turned to look at Old Man Xu. .
But looking at the expressions that were more confused than theirs, Ji Xun and the two knew they couldn't count on it.
We were here to explore the ruins, and the four of them were not in a hurry to find a way out.
Up there are other hunters and try again.
They continued down the rock wall.
I thought that after encountering that strange situation, danger might come.
But they didn’t expect that they had a smooth journey and soon reached the bottom of the pit.
There is still a thick fog here.
But the feeling of my feet on the ground makes me feel a little at ease.
However, what surprised the four people was that there were well-preserved man-made buildings here.
And it’s an ancient train platform?
After a few people came down, the magic lamp hanging on the platform lit up.
The lights dispelled the fog on the platform. Only then did Ji Xunye see clearly that this was really a train platform.
It doesn't look as desolate as the ruins, but because there are no living creatures, there is an indescribable loneliness.
A few words were written in ancient Talung script on the station sign: No empty platform → Xia Mucheng
There are two railway tracks in front of us.
What is strange is that the rails are soaked in transparent water that is so clear that there is almost no impurity.
Looking along the railway track into the distance, there is still a clear river.
When Ji Xun saw this layout, this impression came to his mind: Railway tracks in an underground river?
He frowned slightly as he looked at it.
The calmer it is, the more people always feel that there is a huge danger hidden under this calmness.
But I don’t have a clue about this situation right now.
No monsters ran out, no creatures, just the four of them.
It's just an ordinary train station, and they are like travelers waiting for the train.
However, just when Ji Xun's mind was racing, he suddenly heard a "gudong" and a sound of water.
In the blink of an eye, it was old man Xu who kicked a small stone into the water out of boredom.
As soon as the stone fell into the water, a strange scene happened.
The stone seemed to have fallen into strong acid. White smoke suddenly appeared, and it was completely corroded in the blink of an eye.
Old man Xu screamed strangely: "There's something wrong with this water!"
Ji Xun and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Anyone who is not blind knows that there is something wrong with this water.
The ripples caused by the stone falling into the water subsided in an instant.
The water returned to its extremely clear state.
At this time, Catalina seemed to have thought of something. She walked to the platform, took out a goose feather and threw it down.
The eyes of the four people fell down along the goose feathers.
As soon as it touched the water, it seemed that it was not hindered by any buoyancy and sank at the same speed as in the air.
Although it was corroded cleanly in an instant, Catalina seemed to understand something and said: "A goose feather is not floating, light and darkness coexist, and there is strong corrosion pollution. This seems to be the 'underworld' in myths and legends. "The water of the river'. It is said that if the soul of the dead wants to go to the underworld, it must pass through a strange river that only the dead can pass through."
As she spoke, her expression looked solemn.
The existence from myths and legends appeared in front of us. The existence of this ruin seemed to be higher than everyone expected.
“Light and darkness coexist?”
Ji Xun looked at it curiously.
He took out the test tube and wanted to decorate it and try it.
But no matter what it is, it will be corroded when it comes into contact with water.
Several people also determined that this river water was something that they could not understand with their current knowledge.
Ji Xun and Catalina were both lost in thought.
With the water of the Styx, the four of them are the castaways trapped on the island.
Seeing that no one was talking, Old Man Xu looked at Ji Xun and asked: "Well, what should we do now?"
Ji Xun was not at all anxious and said casually: "Wait for the bus. .”
Old man Xu asked with a confused look on his face: "Waiting for the bus?"
Katerina obviously understood what Ji Xun was going to say and said nothing.
Ji Xun explained: "Judging from the current situation, at least a few hundred pioneer hunters have come down. There are no bodies here, and there is no other place to go. But it is such a strange station. Therefore, those people should have gone to other places by some means of transportation."
He just made the most likely inference based on the current situation.
As for guessing wrong, it doesn’t matter.
Hearing this, Old Man Xu complained quietly: "How can there be a train in this ghost place? I'm afraid it's not a ghost train."
Although they were trapped, Ji Xun and the four of them were not idle, waiting on each side of the platform. Fiddle with research everywhere.
Not long after, another dozen hunters, who were pale with fright, climbed down from the rock wall one after another.
Looking at their situation, Ji Xun knew that he could not go back if he climbed up.
Those hunters were not as good as Ji Xun and the other four. When they suddenly discovered this island-like platform and the highly corrosive water, they all panicked.
However, not long after the hunters came down, a whistle of "Woo, woo, woo" suddenly came from their ears.
Immediately, everyone watched a simple-looking steam train slowly approaching in the mist on the river.
Although a train has arrived at this ancient platform, there is something indescribably weird about it.
But it finally brings hope to everyone's current predicament.
The second car looked at the shadow of the train in the fog, turned to look at Ji Xun, and exclaimed, "Mr. Ji Xun, a train is really coming!"
Old man Xu also looked like he had won the lottery: "Did you really guess it right?"
Ji Xun smiled but said nothing.
He looked at the train, his wolf eyes shrank slightly, his intuition told him that the crisis was about to begin.
The train slowed down as it entered the station, and the front of the train pushed the river water against the rocks on the platform.
A group of hunters looked expectantly at the approaching train.
However, when they saw clearly, the expectations on their faces instantly faded away, revealing expressions of fear and apprehension.
Even Ji Xun let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Because, the steam train in front of me is like a ghost, translucent!
But Ji Xun, wearing a clown mask, saw that this train actually had a name.
【Bazquez's Ghost Train】
Detailed explanation: Unknown level of rules disaster; Neutral camp;
Ji Xun was surprised: "It's another rules disaster?"
"呲呲."
After the train came to a stop, the steam deflated.
At the same time as the train door opened, a group of hunters raised their firearms in unison, their palms sweating from nervousness.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at it. At this time, the train door opened, and a guy wearing a black windbreaker and a high hat, who looked like a conductor, came down.
I don’t know whether this guy is a human or a monster. He is filled with the aura of death and his appearance is completely unclear.
But after getting off the bus, it stood by the door, as if waiting for passengers to get on, and it had no intention of attacking anyone.
When everyone saw this scene, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
However, at this time, Ji Xun looked at the time on his pocket watch and walked over without much hesitation.
It looked like he was getting ready to try to get in the car.
Behind her, Catalina also understood what he was going to do.
She caught up two steps.
The two were one shoulder apart and walked over together.
Ji Xun glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and admired the woman's courage, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid?"
Catalina responded calmly: "When there is no choice, there is nothing to hesitate."
The existence of this ghost train has reached a level that they cannot understand.
All hesitation is unnecessary.
Besides, her intuition and judgment told her that getting in the car was the right choice.
Ji Xunxiaoxiao didn’t say much.
He walked to the door and looked at the mysterious conductor in a windbreaker from the corner of his eye.
But except for a billowing black mist, there was still nothing to see.
The conductor had no intention of stopping them from getting on the train.
Ji Xun observed the details inside and outside the carriage, then stepped up in one step.
Katrina's courage was not inferior to his, and she got into the car immediately.
Behind him, Old Man Xu and Car Er looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and then the grandfather and grandson got into the car.
Looking at Ji Xun and the other four getting into the car, a few of the other dozen hunters mustered up the courage to follow them.
There are still a few left on the platform.
The ghost train only stayed on the platform for two minutes.
The car door closed and started driving slowly again.
