Chapter 227 Monkey in the Furnace

I don't know what he meant, but although I'm also very interested in that person, especially his posture that can scare off monsters, which makes me very curious, I haven't caught up to see what happened.

At this time, I remembered what the man said just now and said to Boss Wu, "Oh, by the way, when the man left, he said to let you go back."

"Go back?" Boss Wu slowly stood up from the ground with a helpless smile on his face.

"Since you have come here, there is absolutely no reason to go back." What Boss Wu said was very plain, but very firm.

Soon, he stopped talking about it and said, "Let's continue to do our work and see what this is."

Boss Wu picked up the fluorescent stick I threw on the ground and slowly approached the wall we had just hidden.

At the beginning, I felt that this depression in the cave was a little abnormal. Its shape was too regular, not naturally formed, but it seemed to be cut out with a knife or manually carved.

At this moment, with the help of the fluorescent stick in Boss Wu's hand, I saw that the wall we just leaned on was not a rock structure, but seemed to be made of bronze.

What's more strange is that there are many marks of palms and fists on this bronze wall.

I took a closer look and found that these palm prints and fist marks were deep inside the copper wall and very smooth, but some deeper pits had been filled with dust. Obviously, it was not long.

And these palm prints and fist prints were not branded when building this bronze wall, because in that case, fingerprints will be left, and now we have not found fingerprint traces.

This was printed by someone with brute force after the copper plate was cast.

How much strength does it take to print palm prints on the copper plate with flesh and blood? I can't imagine.

Even if a person like me has a strange and touchless right hand, he may not be able to do it.

"What do you think this is?" Boss Wu looked at it for a long time and turned around to ask me.

"A copper wall with handprints." I gave a brief answer to Boss Wu.

But Boss Wu shook his head and said, "No, this is not a wall, but the interior of the bronze incense burner."

I was stunned for a moment, looked at the structure of the wall again, and found that it was indeed a semi-curved copper plate embedded in the cave wall.

Calculations, if this is also a bronze incense burner, it should be the same size as the one we saw before.

Seeing that I didn't refute, Boss Wu continued to say, "There used to be a humanoid thing in this bronze incense burner. It was very powerful. It wanted to escape from here, and obviously it finally succeeded."

I think so, otherwise there would be only half an incense burner left here.

However, a humanoid thing made fingerprints of its companions with its flesh and blood, and finally smashed the copper furnace, which was originally an incredible thing.

Boss Wu covered his hand with a relatively complete handprint. Obviously, his hand was much bigger than the handprints on the wall.

Then he said, "This is not a woman or a child, but in my opinion, it is more like an animal."

I asked doubtfully, "What animal?"

Boss Wu pointed to the very sharp nails at the tip of the handprint and said, "Monkey."

"Monkey?" I repeated it incredulous way.

Boss Wu nodded and said, "Yes, it's a monkey."

Hearing that he was so sure, I came closer and took a closer look. Sure enough, I found that the five fingers of the fingerprints were particularly short, the palms were relatively large, the belly of the fingers were bulging, and the nails were very long, and they were really like the claw marks of a monkey.

Then I immediately remembered that Sun Wukong got into the incense burner of Taishang Laojun in Journey to the West. After the torture of the three flavors of real fire, he was in pain and finally practiced into a fiery-eyed joke.

I don't think this is true, right? Or does this story have a historical archetype?

Of course, we won't know the answer just by looking at it here.

So we just looked and left here.

Boss Wu and I continued to walk towards the depths of the cave. This time, there were many more flashing lights on the top of the cave than before, and the underworld fires who returned to the nest lived there.

However, no matter how powerful this fire is, it also belongs to bats. After going out to hunt for food, it will enter a dormant state and will not actively attack people, but only if we don't make too much noise to disturb them.

Those scientists obviously knew this before, so they wanted to venture through this cave. Unfortunately, they failed in the end, which caused such a tragedy.

We walked carefully forward and found that the cave in front of us turned a corner and stretched diagonally down.

Actually, my most annoying feeling is getting farther and farther away from the ground, but there is nothing I can do at this moment.

Zhuo Ya said that there are many floors in the underground golden hall. Obviously, the passage we entered leads to the next floor, and it is not clear how many floors we have on it.

I am still looking forward to the Golden Hall on the next floor, but obviously this passage is not as short as I thought. We turned a few corners and went down. Half an hour passed quickly, but there was still no sign of any exit at the end of the passage.

Boss Wu didn't say anything from the beginning, but he could calm down. However, the more he went to the back, the more uneven his gasping voice became, and he looked a little impetuous.

In fact, my heart is also very impatient. In this cave full of crisis, the air is very depressing and makes people a little breathless.

But the more anxious we are to go out, the more we can't get out.

It is impossible for us to go back when we keep going down, because we have never gone uphill, but I always feel that every time I walk, I feel that some stones on the ground have been seen.

At first, I thought it was just that some stones looked similar, but it was not until Boss Wu stopped in front of him and pointed to a black sticky matter on a stone that we found that we were indeed circling around.

The black sticky object is not something else, but a devout apple core, which was trampled flat by something and stuck to the stone.

Boss Wu and I checked the apple core and then looked at each other.

asked almost at the same time, "Where is the stove?"

I have encountered something like ghosts hitting the wall. Boss Wu often walks in the ancient tomb, and naturally he has also encountered it. Even if it is a strange door escape armor, or Zhuge Liang's eight arrays placed in the tomb, it is not surprising.

But what's strange about us is that it doesn't matter if we walk the maze and fall back, but it doesn't matter if we find that the scenery has changed after walking back.

Because we don't know when even we may suddenly disappear.
