Chapter 486 Hidden Mysteries
Wu Laogou has gone through battles and knows very well that if he wants to solve the mystery, he must go down to this round hole.

But this is just the beginning. Don’t even think about whether the problem can be completely solved. Just finding the problem is not easy.

In short, this is a difficult hole to fill.

And the most important point is that his gains are not directly proportional to his efforts.

Knowing the strength of the Folklore Affairs Administration, he knows very well that this place is far from being as simple as it seems. Even if he really helps solve the problem, he may not be able to take anything away, and [-]% of the losses in the process must be borne by himself.

Anyway, he just came here to show his face, to prove that he has been very leisurely recently, and that he will not stick to Hangzhou, so there is no need to get involved in such thankless things.

Li Wu didn't know what Wu Laogou was thinking. After hearing Chen Ziyan's question, he nodded immediately: "That's right, I invite you to come here this time, just to find out the source of the snake group's awakening and restore it to normal As it was."

"How long has this place existed?" Chen Ziyan nodded, and then suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Li Wu hesitated for a while and said: "The exact time of existence can no longer be studied. There is no document record here, but what I know is that the space below this has actually existed for a long time. It was just an ordinary crypt at first. Later, it went through an expansion during the period of the Republic of China, and we only did some repair work after taking over here."

Hearing what Li Wu said, Chen Ziyan was fine, but Wu Laogou secretly sucked his teeth, which turned out to be a problem left over from history.

He originally thought that this place was the same as before, a special area discovered by the Administration, but he didn't expect it to be a snake cave that had been passed down for an unknown number of years.

This is very different from what was expected.

If it is just a newly discovered dangerous area, then the trouble here may be big or small, but if it has been discovered a long time ago, the trouble will only be big but not small. There are many crises.

Seeing the flash of Wu Laogou's eyes, Chen Ziyan could more or less guess what he was thinking, so he pointed to the lifting device calmly.

What kind of person is Wu Laogou, after receiving the reminder, he immediately realized that he was in the wrong direction. There may be huge troubles here, but there must be great benefits!
Snake Mine!

At this moment, these two words reappeared in his mind, but compared to before, Wu Laogou had a deeper understanding of it this time.

"Go down and have a look before we talk. It's useless for us to talk here." Chen Ziyan said softly.

Although the dogs and yellow skins he brought can seal off this area, thereby achieving the effect of controlling this area, but it would be great if he could truly grasp the secrets below.

After all, the method of using beasts to drive beasts is not irreplaceable, so the risks faced are also greater.

"Fifth Master, what do you think?" Li Wu looked at Old Dog Wu.

He is not a fool, and he can't see the other party's reluctance, but he doesn't want the other party to just pull away.

Now that Chen Ziyan proposed to go on, he agreed, but he would not rashly help Wu Laogou decide, that would completely offend the other party.

Old Dog Wu's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Of course I want to go down to find out. What Chen Xiaoyou said is right, why do you have to see the real thing before talking about other things."

Chen Ziyan glanced at this man from the corner of his eye, but he was curious in his heart. With the other party's current behavior, why was he willing to help solve the problem here in the original plot, even at the expense of his well-bred dogs to deal with his nephew.

It's not a style at all.

In fact, what Chen Ziyan didn't know, or that he overlooked one thing, was that because of his appearance, many things had already conflicted with the development of the original plot, so the purpose of Wu Laogou's coming here has changed. Strange.

The purpose is different, and the style and means of doing things will naturally change accordingly.

The process of going down from the circular hole was smoother than Chen Ziyan had imagined. He originally thought that he needed to use the crane, but he didn't want to leave a corresponding back-up when it was digging or repairing.

Under the leadership of Li Wu, a local snake, they first descended a certain distance with ropes, and then saw a half-meter-deep groove appeared on the smooth cave wall next to it, and in the groove was a nailed A steel ladder on the cave wall.

This ladder looks a bit old, but it is well maintained and safety is not a problem.

In the process of going down the ladder, Chen Ziyan found that the round hole he was in was only narrow at the entrance, and the deeper it went, the wider it became. The whole should be in a cone shape.

According to Li Wu's introduction on the road, except for the escalator, the rest of the space below existed before they took over. Although it has undergone some repairs over the years, the general situation has not changed much.

"Director Li, does this mean that this place is not completely familiar to you?" Chen Ziyan couldn't help asking after listening to his introduction.

For him who wants to know more about everything here, any information is not to be missed.

Li Wu nodded: "That's right, we are like people who have mastered a part of the manual. We can know some of the operation methods here, but we don't know the specific operating principle."

"How deep is this place?" Old Dog Wu couldn't help asking, looking at the bottom of his feet.

Now this environment is not good for him, because of the need to walk up the escalator, his bulldogs can only be carried down by others, but this is not putting the lives of those dogs in the hands of others.

If someone is really malicious, he will become a lonely person in an instant.

Although they can't be considered powerless, the Wu family has always relied on dogs or brains, and their ability to fight alone is really not very good.

He is not those old monsters, the older he gets, the better he can fight.

"There are still about tens of meters." Li Wu estimated.

"It's okay." Wu Laogou let out a sigh of relief, as long as he has a head.

A few minutes later, the group of people finally came to the bottom of the deep cave just as Li Wu said.

Chen Ziyan looked around with a flashlight, and found that it looked like the bottom, but it was actually the beginning of another cave.

It's just that this time it's not the vertical up and down form, but it's turned into a spiral downward.

Under their feet was a well-trimmed and flat foothold, and in front of them was a road built against the cave wall. Under the light of the flashlight, it was obvious that the road was spiraling downward.

After everyone landed on the ground, the group did not delay too much here, and began to walk down this road.

After walking into the next floor, Chen Ziyan immediately noticed that the original smooth cave wall began to change. The cave wall here presented a natural posture, and there were densely distributed holes on it, about the thickness of a finger.

Hole?

When Chen Ziyan saw these holes all over the wall, he suddenly thought of the underground scene of Gutongjing.

Without any cover, he looked directly at Li Wu and asked, "Mr. Li, there should be snakes in these holes in the wall, right?"

Although it looked like he was asking, everyone present could hear the certainty in Chen Ziyan's words.

"That's right." Li Wu nodded: "This is the real entrance to the snake cave. The deeper we go down, the bigger the hole in the wall will be, which also means the bigger the sleeping snake inside."

Even if Chen Ziyan didn't ask about this point, he would take the initiative to say it after walking for a while.

After all, in the current situation, no one can say whether there will be strange snakes coming out of it, and some precautions are still indispensable.

"Mr. Li, how big is the biggest snake here, and where do we need to go?" Old Dog Wu asked.

When he was in those holes, he had related conjectures, but he hadn't been able to confirm it, but now that Li Wu had said something, he had to ask clearly.

There are countless holes in the wall. If snakes really came out of it, they would be surrounded by snakes in an instant, and the deeper they went, the more snakes they would face. This is no joke thing.

"I don't know how big the biggest snake is, because it's a closed area. The biggest snake I've ever seen is no more than the thickness of an arm. As for where we're going, it's actually not far below." Li Wu I also know that people feel very insecure here, and explained: "Please rest assured, Fifth Master, the snakes here are usually in a deep sleep state, and we will be safe."

Wu Laogou nodded and said nothing more. Since Li Wu said so, there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, he himself is also in the team, and there are his capable men here, and they will not be so calm if there is danger.

"Master Chen, Lord Fifth, this is the place."

After going down a few floors, Li Wu stopped and said to Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou.

From the holes on the wall here, it can be seen that the snake here should be as thick as the arm he said, which means that this is the deepest place Li Wu can reach.

Chen Ziyan glanced at the downward direction, and found that not far below, there was a thick stone gate, which was obviously used to seal off the road.

Li Wu noticed his gaze and explained: "This is the way to go deeper, but it was sealed a long time ago. Although it looks like a door, it is actually the kind that is completely sealed." , no one can move this door without explosives."

Dynamite?

Chen Ziyan's eyebrows trembled. Whoever dares to use explosives in this place, even if it doesn't blow up the entire spiral passage, will wake up the sleeping snake on the wall. If you use it, you will be courting death, okay?

"That's the problem?" Wu Laogou didn't pay much attention to the stone gate, but looked at the surrounding environment and asked.

According to what Li Wu said earlier, even if they came here to solve the problem of the underground snakes waking up, and now they stop here, is the problem here?

"We don't know, but all the strange snakes that are waking up now are of this size." Li Wu said helplessly.

"No, the problem is not here." After thinking for a moment, Chen Ziyan shook his head and said, "The problem should be below!"

He understood what Li Wu meant, that is, only the strange snake with the thickness of an arm woke up for no reason, but they had no idea about it, so they brought them here to check the situation.

"Down?" Everyone looked at Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan said: "I don't think the waking snakes you are talking about came out of these holes. Even if there were, not all of them. If that's the case, you can lock them here."

"Master Chen is right." Li Wu nodded.

Chen Ziyan continued: "According to your experience, the snakes here have fallen into a deep sleep for some reason, and they are the type that won't wake up easily, so I wonder if there is something or a creature that awakened them , and the only thing that can be seen here is the problem, that is, the creatures in the hypothesis are below, otherwise how could this place be so peaceful, it has already been full of awakened snakes."

Old Dog Wu nodded, and then looked at Li Wu: "Mr. Li may as well just say it directly. Since Xiaoyou Chen and I came here with you, we naturally came here to solve the problem. If we lack key information, we may be in vain. Mishap happened."

Although Chen Ziyan didn't say it clearly, the meaning behind the words is obvious, that is, there is a problem here, and it is not only a problem with the place, but also a problem with the people.

The speculation he made is very simple, anyone with a little intelligence can see it, but Li Wu said that there is no way to go further here, which is undoubtedly a bit contradictory.

Wu Laogou heard the deep meaning in Chen Ziyan's words, so he asked directly.

His meaning is also very direct, that is to ask Li Wu to explain quickly, otherwise it will be his fault if something goes wrong.

Li Wu didn't answer him, but came to the stone door that he said was just a fake, and drew a few times along the lines on it.

Then I saw a ray of light from those lines, and then the cave wall next to it suddenly opened, revealing the secret passage hidden inside.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan said in his heart that he could play.

The stone gate looked old and simple, and combined with the history told by Li Wu, even he subconsciously thought it was an ancient relic, but he didn't expect it to be a modern product, it was just an old-fashioned appearance.

Following Li Wu into the secret passage, Chen Ziyan's expression immediately changed because he heard many voices.

Is there anyone else here?

As he went deeper into the secret passage, Chen Ziyan heard it more clearly, and confirmed that there was indeed a human voice coming from the depths of the secret passage, and it was during a conversation.

And when they walked out of the secret passage, they found that they came to a hall-like place, where there were more than a dozen figures busy, and it was obvious that the conversation just now came from them.

Chen Ziyan looked at the hall, and found that there was a hidden mystery here. The whole thing was made of steel, and it looked very thick, as if a metal fortress had been built underground.

I just don't know if there is only this one metal room here, or if there are more?
