In panic, I tried to use my arms to support the walls of the cave, but to no avail, my entire body fell down. Even though the hole wasn't deep, the most unfortunate part was a slope. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything except for the light from his flashlight. There seemed to be a shadow of a person not too far away.
I made up my mind and stabbed the man with the gun I had just taken from Chao Yang. I thought that if I stabbed the wrong person, I would have to apologize to him for his medical expenses. The muzzle of the gun slanted to the side subconsciously, who would have thought that there would be a stone wall next to him. The gun pressed against the stone wall and the recoil smashed the butt of the gun into my left arm.
But he stopped, glad that he hadn't poked him. However, that person hadn't said a word yet, which made me a little unsure. With great effort, I turned around and looked up. The person beside me was truly unable to speak. He was a dead man. Without waiting for me to carefully size him up, Hamborg's voice came from afar, "Fourth Boss ~ ~ ~ Fourth Boss ~ ~ ~ are you alright?
"He's alive! But you'd better come down! " I shouted. A few minutes later, the four of them came down one after another. Only when they had a few flashlight did they start to observe the corpse carefully.
This was already a mummified corpse. Both his eyes and cheeks were deeply sunken in. His entire body was a dark brown color. When he reached out his hand to touch it, there was almost no elasticity to it. It seemed that he had been dead for some time. Combined with the matching jacket he was wearing, I calculated that this man had been dead for at least fifty or sixty years. The reason why the corpses were preserved so well should have something to do with the underground environment.
"Didn't the task force find such a big hole?" Gaang asked.
I pointed to a hole not far away. "They should have noticed, and that's where they came from." And I believe the thing at the cave entrance was arranged by the special team. "
"Why?"
I pointed to the place where I had fallen. "If they want to hurt someone, they can do anything they want, like a grenade that will detonate if it falls, or a steel pipe that can stab a person to death." It's not hard at all for more than twenty warriors, and I think they're doing it to cover their tracks. "
"What about the mark at the cave entrance?" Dong Zi still looked confused
Hamborg couldn't bear to watch any longer, he came over and patted his shoulder, "I didn't say anything wrong, it's just that I'm talking about the cave entrance, not deeper in."
Zhao Zhibing was also a little confused, "They are referring to the cave entrance, but what exactly do they mean by covering up the cave entrance? Are you letting them go? "
I nodded towards Miss Kong, who was bandaging my arms, then slowly stood up while leaning on the wall, "Those who can understand can understand, but those who can't can understand." If you hadn't been following us, we wouldn't have known about that so-called identification device and wouldn't have fallen here. "Let's go. Since we're here, let's try to figure it out."
The road this time was a lot easier to traverse. It was a zigzag shaped road with a slope that was neither too fast nor too slow. The ground and walls were clearly arranged and the place where the torches were placed could be seen. If this was a tomb gang, then it must be an organized, disciplined, and well-defined gang, and I almost got the wrong idea. More than once I tried to figure out the nature of this company in the warehouse. If not for Xiong Lusheng's cooperative attitude, I would have been certain of my answer.
After walking for ten minutes with incomparable ease, a stone path appeared in front of me. I was even more certain that there really was a large tomb underneath.
Just as he was about to stand still on the stone platform, a figure suddenly rushed out from the corner and hugged Zhao Zhibing tightly. "Help ~ ~ ~ They're all dead ~ ~ They're all dead ~ ~ ~ ~
Zhao Zhibing was also startled by the man's shout, and his mind went into a mess. Hamborg and I kicked that person out from the left and right at the same time. Hamborg took the opportunity to use the bright light in his hand to shake that person's eyes so that he couldn't open them.
"Wait, I know him!" Zhao Zhibing reacted and pressed down on my gun: "He is Deputy Company Commander Zhao Hai!"
Hearing him say that, I was stunned, wasn't the cause of everything Zhao Hai? The suspect who killed Chen Si Zhe and the first person to go missing was him. Even that special task force was also because of him. But now that the special forces and twenty soldiers have disappeared, this Zhao Hai actually appeared in front of us unscathed. Other than being a little crazy, I really couldn't tell that he had any big problems, and was healthier than someone like me with a broken arm.
Under Zhao Zhibing's and his repeated questioning, Zhao Hai also did not think of anything, and only used his finger to point in one direction while constantly repeating, "They're all dead, they're all dead ~ ~"
I looked at the dark depths he pointed to and I subconsciously glanced at Miss Kong. Her expression was still normal and the little black cat was still lying on her shoulder sleeping. After discussing with Zhao Zhibing for a while, in order to prevent Zhao Hai from running around randomly, they tied up his hands with the shoelaces.
With the situation Zhao Hai was in, the few of them walked extremely slowly. As I walked, I sized up the stone road. The ground was paved with stone, and the road was wide enough for two cars to drive in parallel. There were stone inscriptions on both sides of the road, including auspicious beasts and auspicious clouds, and even stone inscriptions on the ceiling of the cave. This was obviously not something that an ordinary family could afford. It seemed like it was a grave worthy of its name. However, in this deep mountain, whose tomb could be so imposing? Judging from the company guards, at least the military knew about the tomb, but for some reason they had protected it and did not discover it. Add in the missing task force and the monster that killed Chaoyang, and we'll have to dig deeper to find out.
After walking for a hundred meters, the group arrived in front of the tomb door. The two stone doors were not big, but they were carved with a flying dragon with bared fangs and claws. A gap had already been opened in the stone door, and Hamborg somewhat strenuously led the way forward.
I was the second to enter. As soon as I entered the stone door, I was shocked as I saw an old man that seemed as if he was carved to life facing me. The old man was thin and had a smile that was not a smile on his face. He had a big forehead, three long whiskers on his chin, one hand holding the ruyi while the other hand was lightly resting on his knees.
Hamborg had already circled around the stone statue three times. When he saw me, he raised his head and asked, "Fourth Boss, who is this guy?"
I am a little regretful that I did not manage to pull Old Taoist Qiu over. I took the flashlight and studied the stone statue carefully. Finally, I found a row of glyph characters on the stone platform under the old man's butt. I tried to read them for a long time, but I couldn't understand what they were. "This is a seal book. It says that Elder Hu's surname is Jiang, and it's from Dao Master Lu Jing Bao De Immortal Manor."
"Jiang?" Lu Jing? Elder Hu? And he's a real person? What's all this nonsense? " Hamborg looked at Miss Kong and I in a daze.
Miss Kong rolled her eyes and curled her lips at me. "If you ask Fourth Boss, he should know."
I patted Hamborg's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about this later, let's find the special group first, mm ~ ~" After saying that, I signaled Zhao Zhibing to continue walking forward, leaving Hamborg muttering in place, "Actually, you don't know either, right?"
The carvings on the wall were similar to the ones on the outside, which was also the main theme of the auspicious cloud beast. However, the content of the picture was more specific, the old man sitting on the stone statue was like a god sitting on the auspicious cloud, surrounded by auspicious beasts, and there were also fairies flying from afar. It was obvious that this old man wanted to become an immortal after he died, so it was no wonder he added the name of Taoist Baode.
After passing through the wall of shadows and walking up two flights of stairs, there was a narrow path. The floor of the path was no longer made of stone, but a large stone slab. There were not many stone inscriptions on the walls like the ones on the outside, but there was a narrow groove between the walls and the floor of the passageway. It was unknown what it was used for. Just as they carefully walked forward a few steps, the Miss Kong at the back suddenly said, "Don't go yet, look under your feet."
I looked down and saw nothing, but when the beam hit the groove, I felt my scalp go numb. A few dried fingers were exposed in the middle of the crevice, and the bottom of the slot was clearly black with dried blood!
