Chapter 28 Entrance to the underground palace
"So deep?" Su Yong frowned and looked back at the crowd. Most of the soldiers here are not bad in courage, and their strength is not small, but if it is not a strong person with particularly high light kung fu, I'm afraid that it is still difficult to enter this bottomless hole, and safety is not guaranteed.
The speed of the stone pulling the rope is not too fast, which also proves that the hole is only gradually deepening in a roundabout way, not vertically, but probably just a sloping underground cave. But the sound of stones entering the water has not been heard, which also proves that there is no deep water in this cave, and it is still suitable to go in and explore.
"I'll go." Xiao Changfeng stood up and said. Last time in Yanmeng, he led his troops directly to Imore. He didn't go to the snowy mountain with him. He couldn't see the legendary snowman and the red banana. He was regretful.
There may be another opportunity at the time, which can't be missed.
Su Yong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go with Brother Xiao. Please ask General Yang for everything here.
Yang Yihu nodded solemnly: "Be careful and pull the rope if you have something to do."
The two nodded. Xiao Changfeng put down his long gun and put on a sword. The two of them brought enough fire folds and two torches, and then pulled the rope down one after the other.
Su Yong first found a foothold, lit the torch, and then said, "Brother Xiao, this hole is not steep. Let's walk carefully."
Xiao Changfeng fell beside him with fire and nodded.
This is a slightly sloping cave. It depends on the direction. It should extend all the way to the mountains.
The two walked 30 or 40 meters, and the cave gradually widened. The fault rock layers on both sides were constantly seeping, but before they fell to the ground, they were flowed away by a stream-like crevices on both sides, so there was no water on the ground under their feet.
The firelight shines on these unique fault rocks, reflecting all kinds of strange brilliance, which has a dreamy feeling, but the two can't care about the scenery, because the front is not only dark, but also a little smell. Xiao Changfeng has pulled out his sword.
The rope has been exhausted at nearly 100 meters, and only the circular stone is tied at the end. Su Yong tightened the rope and bounced his hand on the rope three times to show his safety before continuing to walk with Xiao Changfeng.
The two walked for a long time, and they had walked to the bottom of the edge of the coconut forest before they finally saw a big turn.
When the two walked through this corner, they found that there was a slightly upward fork in the other side of the cave. There were several large jars on it. When they shone with fire, they could see that there was still sealing mud on the edge of the lid of these jars. One of the jars was still very new. Obviously, it had just been put up.
This up fork is quite dry, because it has bypassed the other main hole passage that continues to go down, and also avoids the stream that has been following. It seems that someone dug it out in this place with a knife and dug up a distance. The stone walls there are also drier.
Xiao Changfeng and Su Yong looked at each other and smiled: "This Chiye general seems to have spent a lot of effort to hide these things."
The upper stone wall at the corner of a deep hole digs a closet-like place to place these sealed jars. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and it is difficult for Takeo Chino to find such a secret place.
Su Yong's running out of torch slowly bent down the passage: "It's strange, that smell is stronger. Continue to go down and have a look?"
Xiao Changfeng lit his torch and walked in front of him: "Let's go."
They still have fire folds on their bodies, and as long as they turn this corner, the passage is relatively straight, so they are naturally not afraid that they can't go out. Both of them are heroes of Yanlong, and they are surprisingly bold. At this moment, they are curious. How can they be afraid of anything?
However, after walking about 100 meters, they suddenly found a tattered lantern on the ground of the passage. According to the style of the lantern, it was the product of those dwarf Japanese.
"It seems that General Chiye has been here." Su Yong whispered.
Xiao Changfeng raised his torch and shook it around. Suddenly, he saw a few big words engraved with swords on the stone wall beside him: "Don't go down." Although these five big characters are a little rigid, there is also a lot of momentum between the strokes, which shows that the author is a very ambitious person.
Su Yongning looked at it and said, "It seems that it was engraved by Takeo Chino. He understands Yanlong's words."
Xiao Changfeng looked at him and nodded. At this time, both of them understood that after Chino Takeo dug up the closet to put the property, he was afraid that he also took the lantern to explore out of curiosity, but in the end, he didn't know what happened and left such things behind.
"Are you going?" Xiao Changfeng squinted at the dark in the depths and turned his head to look at him.
Su Yong drew a bleeding knife: "Of course."
Both of them are brave and young and middle-aged. If they want to go back like this at this moment, I'm afraid they will guess that they can't sleep at night.
At present, the two held torches, one left and one right, the blood knife and the sword leaned into the darkness in front of them, and slowly walked forward step by step.
The passage is getting deeper and deeper, and the fault rocks on both sides are becoming more and more ferocious. Under the firelight, they are like ancient monsters, opening their sharp mouths and stretching out their giant claws as if to rush towards them.
However, when they turned a turn again, their eyes were finally bright.
At this time, the channel was not only several times larger than before, but the stone walls on both sides became straight like walls. The abrupt and ferocious rocks on the top of the head did not appear again. Instead, they suddenly disappeared clean and turned into a neat ceiling-like rock top on the head. And it seems that it has suddenly become a huge corridor built.
There is naturally a portal at the other end of the corridor.
And there seems to be a gate plaque engraved on the door. The two of them got a little closer and waved the torch. The word "Underground Palace" was engraved on it.
Under these two big characters, there are also two smaller annotations, which say "Southeast".
The two looked at each other and exhaled a cold breath at the same time.
This... This is not going to hell, is it? And Su Yong, a person from later generations, has an idea at this moment: "I heard that the earth includes many layers such as the surface, the earth's rock, the center of the earth, etc. Did we walk to the pulse channel into the center of the earth?"
But although the two were shocked, they did not stop there. The two put the torch into the door without a door and shook it. They nodded to each other and were about to step in.
At this time, the smell that had been followed by them suddenly became much stronger. It was at this time that they really figured out what the strange smell was.
An extremely fierce and bloody animal body odor suddenly rushed out of the inside and rushed to this door.
With the faint light of the torch, they saw countless huge red eyes in the dark. And at this moment, one of their toes can fall on the ground inside the door.
