Chapter 56 Ghost hits the wall

The cave in front of them seemed to have no end. The four people had been walking for six hours and heard the dragon roar twelve times. Everyone was exhausted and their steps were heavy, as if their legs were no longer their own.

They really couldn't move anymore and showed no signs of getting out.

The pitted bottom of the cave stretches forward endlessly, as if there is no end.

How big is this cave? How could it be possible that I haven’t walked out after walking for so long!

"There may be problems with our route." Song Yijin signaled everyone to stop. He felt that instead of moving forward blindly, it was better to camp and rest on the spot and analyze the current situation.

He turned to look at Zhao Xixi and stretched out his hand: "Xixi, give me a piece of your hair."

"What do you want my hair for?" Zhao Xixi looked confused. asked doubtfully.

"I want to use it to measure the direction of the air flow in the cave. It may be difficult to get out this way." Song Yijin explained.

"Can't you use your own hair? Why do you have to pull my hair? Do you know that my hair is so fragile that I don't have many hairs left!" Zhao Xixi said angrily.

"My hair is too thick to use. I have to use thin and soft hair like yours. It still smells fragrant when you blow it." Song Yijin smiled mischievously.

"It still smells good, but I haven't washed my hair for several days, and it stinks like a bird's nest." Zhao Xixi couldn't do anything about him. Although she was reluctant with her mouth, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull him away. I dropped three hair strands and handed them to him. She knew that Song Yijin had always been smart and witty, and maybe he could really think of a way out of this predicament.

"Just one strand is enough. Look at you, you are pulling so much." Song Yijin felt distressed again. He frowned and carefully held one end of the hair as if it was the most precious treasure in the world. generally. The long hair fluttered in the direction of his fingers, like a soft silk, light and agile.

While staring at the hair in his hand, he murmured to himself: "The direction is correct, so why can't we get out? It's strange." His eyes were full of doubts. He Bujie seemed very confused by the predicament at hand.

"This is definitely the longest cave we have walked through so far!" Jiang Xiaobao made a big circle with his hands and said with a frown: "I feel like we are lost." He There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his tone.

"I feel the same way." Zhao Xixi squatted down and touched the ground with her hands, as if looking for some clues. After a while, she stood up and said thoughtfully: "I feel like this is not just a simple circle, but more like a spiral extending downward. It's just because of the low slope and the high ground It’s uneven, so we didn’t notice it.”

Song Yijin listened to the two of them.Analyzed, nodded in agreement. If it were just a circle, someone among the four of them would always notice the entrance when they entered the cave, and they would not be in the dilemma of beating the wall like they are now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

However, the matter has come to this, and complaining will not solve the problem. This cave is like a winding mountain road, slowly spiraling into the depths. Perhaps, they can only find a way out through other caves or other places. For now, it seems there is no choice but to move on. So, the four of them encouraged each other and decided to explore step by step along the direction of the cave...

However, in order to avoid falling into the dilemma of trying to break the wall, he painstakingly moved dozens of heavy pieces stones and placed them in random directions in the cave. That way, if they accidentally backtracked, they would immediately notice something was wrong.

Originally, they planned to take a rest, but Song Yijin said that the cave was bitingly cold and filled with gloomy air, making it not a suitable place to rest. Therefore, he urged everyone to leave here as soon as possible and wait until they get out of the cave to have a good rest.

This time, they learned their lesson and paid special attention to the location of the cave entrance when they left, so as not to make the same mistake as Jiang Xiaobao said. As expected

As expected, several hours later, Zhao Xixi and Jiang Xiaobao finally ran out of energy and could no longer move forward. The soles of their feet ached unbearably, as if they no longer belonged to them. Faced with this situation, Song Yijin had no choice but to decide to set up camp here to let everyone rest for a while.

However, deep in his heart, an ominous premonition arose. Is it true that, as in the legend, they encountered a ghost beating the wall and could not escape this strange place no matter how hard they tried? This thought kept swirling in his mind, making him uneasy.

He let the other three people rest first and sat there alone to watch. Although he knew in his heart that there were only four of them in the cave and there was no need to stand guard, he wanted to be on the safe side in case there was a sudden flood or attack by other unknown creatures after everyone fell asleep, and he would not be able to do it in time. Be aware and take countermeasures. As a result, they slept for three full hours, and Song Yijin always stayed at his post and silently guarded them.

When Zhao Xixi woke up drowsily, she was surprised to find that she was actually covered with Song Yijin's jacket, but at this time, he was only wearing thin clothes and had been sitting there quietly. .

Zhao Xixi couldn't help but feel hot in her heart and her eyes were red. She deeply felt that the man in front of her was so reliable and responsible. If he had no family, then she would definitely marry him without hesitation.

However, the reality is always cruel - "You were born before I was born, and I was born before you were old. You hate that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early." During these days of knowing each other, This man is like a thick book, worthy of her lifetime to savor and study.

"You're awake." Song Yijin turned his head and looked at her. At this time, she was staring blankly into the distance, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts and had no awareness of the outside world.

Song Yijin said softly: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find the exit cave and we will be able to leave here soon."

At this moment, Chen Mingzhi and Jiang Xiaobao also Wake up one after another. They noticed that Song Yijin had not fallen asleep, and they understood that he was worried. The two insisted that Song Yijin rest for a while before continuing, but Song Yijin refused.

He said that he was not seriously injured. Even if he lay down, he could not fall asleep. He said he should wait until he got out of the cave to have a good rest. So, the four of them sorted themselves out and embarked on the journey again.

However, after only half an hour, they realized that something was wrong. In front, the stones that Song Yijin had placed before were neatly arranged there. "The ghost has hit the wall! What should I do?" Jiang Xiaobao cried with a bitter face. They wasted more than ten hours in vain and walked the wrong path for so long, but they returned to the same place.

"I understand, we seem to have gone to the wrong place. This should be a spiral cave. This kind of cave is quite special and is caused by the movement of the earth's crust. After we entered from the upper cave entrance, we walked along a low The steeply sloping road keeps going down, and when we reach the end, the cave will turn around and turn back, and finally we will return to the entrance of the cave we just entered. But we didn't notice it when we passed by it, so we missed it." Got it all figured out.

After hearing what she said, Song Yijin thought carefully and realized that this was really the case: "Yes! I remembered that the entrance of the cave was indeed a bit hidden. There was a stone screen in the middle blocking it. So when we passed by, we ignored it as a cave wall."

In this case, the most reliable way at the moment is to have the four of them divide their work and place a stone at the bottom of the cave. Mark so you can avoid going back.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.

However, this method doesn't seem very smart. Unless you start placing rocks from the entrance of the cave, it will still be difficult to find the correct exit.

"At present, this is the best way we can think of." Zhao Xixi said helplessly.

A stone will be placed about every five hundred meters as a mark so that they can remember the way they came.

As the four people walked, they searched the cave wall carefully, for fear of missing any possible entrance to the cave. At this moment, Song Yijin suddenly thought of an idea.

I saw him carefully taking out a piece of paper from the pocket of his jacket. Jiang Xiaobao on the side saw his actions and thought he was going to bring out some treasure, so he quickly ran over to grab a look.

However, when he saw clearly what was on the paperWhen Xi turned out to be only three long strands of hair, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Big cousin, how old are you? You actually still play this little trick of loving your wife and destroy your wife's hair?" Take your hair with you."

Hearing Jiang Xiaobao say this, Zhao Xixi couldn't help but feel that her cheeks were a little hot, and her ears were red.

Song Yijin's face turned red unconsciously, but he didn't explain anything because he couldn't explain it at all. He just held the three hair strands on his fingertips, and then continued to walk forward while stretching out his hand to observe the direction of the hair. It was as if these hairs could guide him to the right path.

Ginger is still spicy. Not long after, three long fragrant threads floated to the side. Song Yijin walked closer and saw that it was indeed a stone screen, with the entrance of the cave behind it. It's just that we went to the wrong entrance of the cave. There was a crack in the cave wall next to the stone screen, and the fragrant silk only drifted in. This was the entrance to the cave. Who would have thought that the crack that only allows one person to enter sideways is the entrance to the cave.

This crack is less than two meters high and looks like a rugby ball, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a bulge in the middle. Song Yijin carefully put his head into it and looked around, and found that the ground inside showed a certain slope, extending all the way downward. However, the ground is not flat, instead there are countless sharp bamboo shoots standing on it.

These bamboo shoots are like sharp rocks that suddenly emerge from the ground. If you are not careful, your calves will be scratched by them. Therefore, there are few safe places to stay.

Nonetheless, there is no other way out. Zhao Xixi and Jiang Xiaobao agreed that the crack in front of them was the only exit.

Therefore, Song Yijin continued to shoulder the responsibility of the leader and took the lead, while the other three followed cautiously. They struggled to cross the bamboo shoots on the ground, one foot deeper and one foot shallower, and they moved forward.

About half an hour later, a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of us, and the light had a faint golden color. The four of them were overjoyed when they saw this, and they were glad that they finally got out of the weird ghost wall.

However, at this time, they had not yet realized that they had entered Di Yongkui's territory - the Nitan Cave Sky.

They stood on the cliff and looked at the bottom of the cave a hundred meters below. It was an irregular circle with an area of ​​about one hundred kilometers.

There are no cave pillars. The roof of the cave is made of white granite. The color is integrated with the cave wall. Although the entire cave sky area is not large, it can be seen at a glance.

The only difference is that the bottom of the cave is a flat gray patch, which looks like the ground and water. It is difficult to see clearly if it is too far away.

Song Yijin felt a little tired. He picked up a small stone on his side and dropped it to the bottom of the cave. The stone did not rebound after hitting the bottom, and it made a dull sound.

He sighed softly, and the joy on his face disappeared. "There is a quagmire below, and it is unfathomable."

p>

Everyone was shocked and secretly complained, before they walked out of the ghost wall and encountered a quagmire and cave.

Zhao Xixi looked at the steep cave wall leading to the top of the cave. There was no way to pass, "How can I get through this!"

"I'm tired, let's rest for a few hours." Song Yijin's face was filled with emotion. Putty, his eyes were slack, and he urgently needed sleep to replenish his energy.

Perhaps they had slept too much in the previous night, but the three of them were not sleepy. They stood around Song Yijin in a daze, not daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing his sleep.

Song Yijin was snoring lightly.

Jiang Xiaobao was bored, so he imitated Song Yijin and went to the cliff to pick up a pile of pebbles and threw them one by one into the quagmire below.

He remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather raised a buffalo and dug a quagmire behind the house. Unless the buffalo went to work in the fields, it spent most of its time trapped in the quagmire. He often threw pebbles into it. , his grandfather scolded him several times, and he was not allowed to go near it, saying that if he fell in, he would not be able to climb out. So he knew the dangers of the quagmire at that time and never went near the quagmire ever since.

But Jiang Xiaobao knew that there was another characteristic of the quagmire. After the buffalo went out to work in the morning, if the buffalo did not come back for two or three hours, the cement would separate in the quagmire. The top layer would be clear water, and the soil would settle to the lower layer. .

The quagmire below is different. It seems to have a natural thickener added and no soil sedimentation.

He asked this question to Zhao Xixi and asked him what geographical phenomenon this was?

Zhao Xixi couldn't answer, "Unless you keep stirring."

"That means there is something in the quagmire?" Chen Mingzhi immediately scanned the quagmire below nervously. , for fear that something would come out.

Jiang Xiaobao looked up at Chen Mingzhi, a little funny, "Don't scare yourself. The wall of this cave is so high, even if there is something underneath, it will be trapped in it. It is equivalent to being kept in captivity. No Know what you are afraid of! "
