Chapter 434 Volcano Temple Tunnel
Obviously, these salamanders are a premeditated ambush!
This can be seen from the fact that Chen Ziyan and the others were attacked by the salamander just after they showed up.

"TNND! These bastards have mastered the art of war. They play this game with the fat man, and they don't ask about the name of our Panjiayuan little Zhuge." Wang Kaixuan, who walked in the front, bore the brunt of the attack, and quickly drew his gun to fight back.

The others also hurriedly tried their best to resist the attack of the Salamander in their own way.

Although these salamanders planned an ambush, Chen Ziyan and the others were not unprepared. In order to prevent this from happening, their weapons were always in their hands, so after a short period of astonishment, they quickly regained their composure , began to deal with it calmly.

Not long after the fight, the two sides fell into a stalemate. The salamander's ambush failed, but Chen Ziyan and the others couldn't quickly defeat these rough-skinned and thick-skinned guys.

No way, although the skin of these salamanders is not as good as that of the spotted dragon, it can also effectively block firearms, and they will be injured but not fatal.

"Fatty, use the grenade you made!" Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan immediately shouted at Wang Kaixuan.

Since conventional attacks are of little use, let's go straight to the means!

In order to be able to effectively fight against creatures like the spotted jellyfish and the old white-bearded fish, Wang Kaixuan took advantage of the break and took the time to use explosives to make some explosive detonators in groups of three to serve as grenades, which just came in handy at this time.

After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Wang Kaixuan, who couldn't stand it for a long time, took out a homemade grenade and threw it at the salamander group.

Where have the salamanders seen this kind of thing, they didn't take it seriously at all, so they didn't have any precautions, and they were blown up by Wang Kaixuan's homemade grenade.

Morale isn't limited to humans, but also to disciplined beasts like this one. So after being hit hard suddenly, the Salamander's offensive immediately weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After Wang Kaixuan threw several homemade grenades one after another, the Salamanders were blown to pieces and fled towards the crater behind them.

Seeing that the homemade grenade he made worked, Wang Kaixuan was so excited, he immediately took out the rest, planning to catch up and kill the weeds.

But this guy had just taken two steps before he was stopped by Chen Ziyan who sensed his intentions. Chen Ziyan would not let Wang Kaixuan continue.

Although his grenade is self-made, the inner core is genuine gunpowder, so its power is not discounted much. It is okay to use it at the edge. After all, the rock density here is high, so it will not have too serious an impact.

But if you go to the crater to bomb wildly, that's a completely different matter. If you accidentally collapse the entrance, it's really not worth the candle.

Wang Kaixuan, who had calmed down, also understood this point. Although he was a little regretful, he obediently put away the remaining homemade grenades.

Afterwards, Chen Ziyan checked the salamander corpses in the ground, and after making sure that all the salamanders had returned to the west, he led everyone towards the top of the cone-shaped mountain, which was the crater.

A large amount of black volcanic sand has accumulated near the crater, which means that this extinct volcano has existed for at least millions of years.

According to Chen Ziyan's knowledge, volcanic rocks are grayish white at first, and it takes a long time for them to turn black, and it takes millions of years to form such sandy crystals.

Stepping on the black gravel, thinking that this extinct volcano has undergone ancient changes, one can't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

But this feeling came and went quickly, and it gradually dissipated when it reached the crater.

The crater is much smaller than expected. The erosion of the years has caused a large part of the hole to collapse. The remaining part looks like a big chimney like a factory, but this size is enough for them to enter.

Because the salamanders fled into the volcano, Chen Ziyan and the others didn't go in rashly, but threw a cold smoke into it first. After all, no one can guarantee that those salamanders will repeat their tricks and ambush them again.

Fortunately, with the help of the light from the cold smoke and fire, they did not see any trace of the salamander below, so they were relieved.

The bottom is in the shape of an inverted lama, and along the way you can see some building remnants made of stone and black wood. Obviously, a long time ago, there was a road leading to the belly of the volcano.

However, the wood had long since decayed, but the stones were still very strong and did not affect their use. With the help of these boulders, everyone entered the mountainside in two or three strokes.

The mountainside of this extinct volcano is a natural grotto, but it can be seen from the surrounding walls that it has been artificially repaired before.

Standing in the center of the grotto, Chen Ziyan felt that the place they were in also looked like a temple after looking around.

It's just that due to the constraints of the terrain, the outer area is lower than the center, so it looks a bit nondescript.

With the help of the flashlight, it can be seen that there are many primitive symbols engraved on the walls of this temple, which look like stars scattered all over the sky from a distance.

The original symbols on one of the walls constitute a nebula pattern with the outline of an eye. Below this nebula pattern, there is a circle of unique five-clawed animal patterns, which looks like it is holding the eye-shaped nebula above it.

After looking at the unique combination pattern for a while, Shirley Yang slowly said: "I have seen this symbol in some documents, it seems to come from the chants of the enemy orb king, in the poems this symbol is called ' Margaret Manning Dun', which translates to 'Dahetian strikes Thunder Mountain', refers to a legendary demon who can control ore."

Before anyone else could react, Wang Kaixuan suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun and yelled at the stone gate in front of him, "Who? Come out!"

His sudden movement attracted everyone's attention, leaving them no time to estimate the content of the relief.

Chen Ziyan looked at the temple first, and after finding nothing wrong, he walked up to Wang Kaixuan and asked, "Fatty, what's going on?"

While speaking, his eyes were also looking at Shimen in front of him.

There is only one door here, so he intends to study it later, but he doesn't want to have a problem now.

Wang Kaixuan stared at the stone door in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Just now this door closed by itself!"

"Did you close it yourself?" Chen Ziyan was also surprised, and asked, "Did you touch anything?"

He suspected that Wang Kaixuan might have run into the mechanism.

"No." Wang Kaixuan shook his head slightly, his tone was very firm: "I was on the other side just now, and I didn't touch anything."

Looking at the fat man's solemn expression, Chen Ziyan knew that he must not have lied, which made him frown.

To be honest, he just had a quick glance, and he didn't even notice whether the stone door was open or closed, so he has no way of verifying it now.

But... the stone gate closed by itself?
There is no doubt that this kind of stone door will not close by itself. If it is not caused by a mechanism, then someone must be hiding in the dark to make trouble.

If someone was really hiding behind the door, Wang Kaixuan's proclamation just now would be fine.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but looked at the blue-robed Tibetan, and asked, "Is there anyone else from Kang Paluo who came here with you?"

The first thing he thought of at the moment was the Kangbalo people. If there were strangers underground, they were undoubtedly the most suspicious.

"Our manpower is limited, and there is only one person in each area." The blue-robed Tibetan shook his head without hesitation.

In fact, he also thought of this possibility, but he denied the idea as soon as it appeared. If he was really a member of their tribe, he would definitely get in touch with him first, instead of hiding quietly in the dark.

"Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover it with the earth, and there will never be any results in being suspicious here. Open the door and have a look!" After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan decided to open the Shimen to have a look.

His idea has been unanimously approved by everyone. There is really no better way now. Unreasonable speculation will never come to a conclusion. No matter how much you think about it, it is better to see what is behind the door.

Maybe Wang Kaixuan was wrong?

But even though he thought so, Chen Ziyan himself didn't have any confidence. Firstly, Wang Kaixuan's expression was too sure, and secondly, because the underground was inherently evil, maybe something strange would appear.

After all, although many things in this world cannot be fully believed, they must be believed.

The rest of the people followed behind Chen Ziyan, with the weapons in their hands ready to go. Once there was a real situation behind the door, they would definitely attack immediately.

When you come to the stone gate, the first thing you see is the two huge human eyes embossed on it, other than that, there is no decoration.

This is not surprising, such eyeball totems are everywhere here, but they are not uncommon.

The only unique thing is that the eye totems in the past were all eyeballs without eyelids, but the eyeball embossed on this stone gate has eyelids and is in a closed posture.

But what attracted Chen Ziyan the most was not the eyeball embossment, but the sliding stone ball at the bottom of the stone gate that was used as an opening and closing mechanism.

After seeing the sliding stone ball under the door, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought, maybe the door really closed by himself!

But he didn't express his thoughts immediately, but planned to look at the situation behind the door first, and if there was nothing behind the door, then the real situation was probably what he thought, and there would be a proof at that time.

As if to help Chen Ziyan verify his guess, after he put his hand on the stone door, he just pushed lightly, and the stone door in front of him opened slowly without much effort.

Behind the stone gate is a natural tunnel. The walls of the tunnel are all rock crystals formed during the volcanic change period. These crystals emit cold fluorescence, like a white tunnel in the dark underground world.

But this tunnel is not straight, it can only be seen tens of meters, and the back has entered the blind spot of sight, making it difficult to judge the exact length of the tunnel.

The situation of the fluorescent tunnel in front of them was clear at a glance, at least they could see that there was no place to hide in this section, but Chen Ziyan didn't stop there, he planned to go to the front corner to have a look, in case the situation behind that changed.

But the moment he stepped into the tunnel, he suddenly heard the sound of calm and powerful footsteps from the depths of the tunnel.

The fluorescent tunnel in front of him seemed to have the effect of gathering sound, so even though the footsteps were far away, Chen Ziyan could hear them clearly.

But soon Chen Ziyan noticed something was wrong, because the footsteps gradually coincided with his heartbeat, as if they were stepping on his heart. trembling.

And when the rhythm of the thunderous footsteps became more and more rapid, Chen Ziyan's heartbeat also became faster and faster. At the same time, an uncontrollable panic surged from the bottom of his heart, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Chen Ziyan knew that this was a warning from his body, and his subconscious mind was urging him to leave here as soon as possible.

However, Chen Ziyan did not obey his body's instincts, but forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, staring at the corner of the tunnel in the distance.

He wanted to see what the sound of footsteps would cause instinctive fear in his body!
But when the footsteps became dense enough, they stopped abruptly without warning, and the tunnel became silent for an instant, as if nothing had happened.

This sudden change caught Chen Ziyan a little off guard, and his tense body relaxed, and he staggered back to the temple.

"Master Chen, are you alright?" Hu Bayi stood behind Chen Ziyan, saw this and quickly supported him, asking with concern.

At this moment, Chen Ziyan's face was not only pale as paper, but his whole body was still trembling slightly. The sound of a violent heartbeat came from his chest. It seemed that the situation was very bad.

"I'm fine." Chen Ziyan took a few breaths and waved his hand lightly at Hu Bayi.

His physical strength is there. Although it looks serious, he will be able to recover soon.

"Master Chen, what's your situation?" Seeing that Chen Ziyan was fine, Wang Kaixuan came over and asked curiously.

Hearing his question, Chen Ziyan's eyes flashed with surprise, he looked at him and asked, "Didn't you hear the footsteps?"

While asking questions, he subconsciously looked at other people, and found that they seemed to be all right.

He was so absorbed in the sound of footsteps just now that he really didn't notice it, but now he suddenly realized that he seemed to be the only one who heard the stifling and weird footsteps.

"Footsteps? No!" Wang Kaixuan shook his head like a rattle.

"No?" Chen Ziyan glanced at the tunnel outside, probably understanding something.

If he guessed correctly, the weird suffocating footsteps could only be heard by those who entered the fluorescent tunnel.

This is a weird phenomenon, but here it feels a bit taken for granted.

"Master Chen, did you hear footsteps just now?" Hu Bayi asked curiously.

He was very puzzled now. You must know that he was right behind Chen Ziyan, and the distance between the two was not even ten centimeters, but he didn't hear a sound.

Even before Chen Ziyan staggered back, he didn't notice anything strange about Chen Ziyan.

"Well, I heard a strange footsteps, this sound seems to have some kind of magic, it makes me feel... as if someone is beating my heart..."

Chen Ziyan wanted to describe his feeling just now, but he stopped after speaking, because he didn't know how to use words to describe his feeling just now.

I always feel that no matter what kind of vocabulary is enough to describe the palpitations.
