Chapter 500 Slopes and Stone Carvings

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, looking at the unchanging scene around him, even the most determined Chen Ziyan couldn't help thinking about going back.

At this time, nearly two-thirds of the agreed time had passed, and he didn't feel that he could gain something in the remaining time.

Although the lighting range of the flashlight beam is limited, the visibility at 30 meters is still no problem. The stereotyped surroundings are nothing new at all. It is hard to believe that there will be a new breakthrough at the last moment.

And it wasn't just Chen Ziyan who thought this way, the rest of the team had the same idea. They were all ready to return and were waiting for the agreed time.

But to everyone's surprise, it was precisely at this last moment that the exploration work ushered in a breakthrough.

Although their minds were a little distracted, the team had excellent tactical skills, so they were aware of changes in the surrounding situation as soon as possible.

And when the end of the flashlight beam was no longer the endless darkness as before, but a steep rock wall, Chen Ziyan and the others subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

"It's really a coincidence, I was planning to go back, and there was such a change." Looking at the rock wall at the end of his field of vision, Wu Laogou said in an inexplicable tone.

What the appearance of this rock wall explained, he, an old Jianghu, naturally couldn't be more clear, it was obvious that the terrain they were on began to shrink.

This means that if they continue to move forward, even if they cannot find more, they should be able to find the end of this underground space.

Although the latter is not very rich, it can also be regarded as a harvest.

But the problem before us now is that, according to the previous decision, the spirits of the other members of the team have almost dissipated. If we continue to explore with this mentality, it will be fine if there is no danger, but if something really changes , there must be unexpected changes.

Chen Ziyan frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he was also a little confused.

The reason why he said that before was that he didn't have any hope in his heart, and he never thought that he would really find something.

But now something really happened, which made him a bit in a dilemma.

To be honest, Chen Ziyan really wanted to move on and figure out what was going on ahead.

But reason told him that doing so was not the last option.

Li Wu and the others did not say anything, but quietly looked at Chen Ziyan, waiting for his answer.

But sometimes, silence is also a statement.

Chen Ziyan glanced at the people present, and said calmly: "Follow the agreement, let's go back first, and continue exploring tomorrow."

In the end, Chen Ziyan chose to go back home.

His grasp of the camp is not comprehensive, and he has just established a little authority, so there is no need to destroy himself just because of this.

Although Chen Ziyan said earlier that he would go back only after he hadn't found out, how could he be so strict in life? When he said those words, he had already given the answer.

However, Chen Ziyan was calm on the surface, but he had already made up his mind in his heart that he must bring Wushuang ghost down next time he came again.

If it wasn't for the need for Liu Yingzi to sit in the camp, Chen Ziyan even planned to bring the dog group along, and directly give this underground space a plow court to sweep holes!
But even if he couldn't do this, Chen Ziyan secretly made up his mind to bring enough supplies next time, and not go back until he thoroughly studied the underground space.

"It's true that I'm a little tired, so let's go back first." Old Dog Wu continued with a smile.

The way back was very smooth, without encountering any obstacles, and because there was no need to be distracted, the speed was much shorter than when we came.

When he returned to the place where he came down, Li Wu said: "Master Chen, shall we use this mechanism to go up, or those ropes?"

Unlike when they came down there was only one way, now they have two ways to leave.

Chen Ziyan made a choice without hesitation: "Use the rope, let's keep the mechanism as it is."

If they don't plan to come back in the near future, it is definitely better to use the mechanism to leave, but they will come down after going back for a little repair, so there is no need to add difficulty to themselves.

"That's fine." Li Wu didn't say much.

In fact, he could also guess Chen Ziyan's choice. The reason why he asked this question was just to test Chen Ziyan's thinking.

After returning to the underground fortress, Chen Ziyan and the others took off the heavy protective clothing, and they all felt relieved, especially Li Wu and his men, whose clothes were already soaked in sweat, and their chests heaved violently , which shows how big the consumption is.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Chen Ziyan decided to return. His own physical fitness is strong, and protective clothing is nothing to him, but it does not mean that everyone else is like this.

At that time, even if they continued to walk, they might not be able to go very far.

Chen Ziyan and the others didn't stay in this underground fortress for too long. After a short rest, they returned to the ground camp.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was noon the next day in a blink of an eye.

Chen Ziyan and his party came to the underground fortress again, but this time their team changed, and there were more than a dozen bulldogs in special-shaped protective suits.

These dogs in protective clothing are the black-backed dogs brought by Wu Laogou.

It is precisely because of the need to modify the protective clothing that the departure was delayed until now.

This time, only Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou went to explore. After the summary meeting last night, Li Wu successfully transferred from an operator to a logistics worker.

However, Li Wu was very satisfied with this, which was in line with his wishes.

First of all, safety is guaranteed, and there is no second exit in this kind of underground space, so there is no need to worry about being excluded.

Although the lack of information is unavoidable, the entire underground space is in his territory, even if Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou have concealed something, they will have a chance to find out sooner or later.

With the help of Li Wu and others, Chen Ziyan and the others successfully descended to the underground space through the snake ball with the dozen or so black backs.

But this time, apart from them, there was also a batch of supplies transported down together.

Chen Ziyan didn't plan to run back and forth this time, and he brought so many dogs with him, so he simply used the tools in the camp to make a trailer to pull his luggage, and planned to come back after exploring the entire underground space.

After leaving the snake bone area, Wu Laogou glanced at the extremely dim light behind him, and asked with a smile:

"Chen Xiaoyou, don't you worry about letting Li Wu guard our retreat?"

The light flickering in the dark is the reception point built by Li Wu, and it is also one of the guides for them to return.

"Don't worry." Chen Ziyan shook his head lightly.

What is he worried about? Don't forget that Yingzi is still in the camp. To put it bluntly, the entire camp is now under his control.

Although Li Wu can control his subordinates, he can't control the dogs under Yingzi's hands.

Yingzi may lack other things, but it is very difficult to get close to her if you are prepared. Those giant mastiffs who follow her all the year round are not vegetarians.

If Li Wu didn't have a strong hole card, Chen Ziyan felt that with those few giant mastiffs alone, he might be able to single out the people left in the camp.

"Hehe." Wu Laogou chuckled when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

In fact, he didn't think that Li Wu could outplay Chen Ziyan, he was just looking for an excuse.

Because he had already walked through it once, it didn't take long for Chen Ziyan to come to the place where he stopped last night.

This time he brought a searchlight with a longer range, so he had a wider field of vision, and he had a better understanding of the situation in this place.

Chen Ziyan saw through the beam of the searchlight that although there was no rock wall on the other side, it was suspended in the air, and it was most likely a cliff or other terrain.

Couldn't spot this yesterday because the lighting didn't have enough range.

However, Chen Ziyan did not rush to check, but continued to walk forward along the rock wall after a brief discussion with Wu Laogou.

The two of them have the same opinion on this, that is, they think that there will definitely be gains if they continue to move forward.

After continuing to walk like this for a while, Chen Ziyan, who was walking in front, suddenly froze his gaze, and then subconsciously quickened his pace.

Old Dog Wu has been paying attention to Chen Ziyan's every move, and when he sees this, he follows his line of sight and finds something that looks like a stone sculpture in front of him.

After following Chen Ziyan to the thing, Wu Laogou was completely sure that the thing was a stone sculpture.

Moreover, they all knew the shape of the stone sculpture, and it was the nephew who made a big fuss in the camp before.

"Chen Xiaoyou, it seems that my nephew has something to do with this underground space." Old dog Wu said after looking at the stone carving of my nephew.

Since there are stone carvings of the nephew here, it means that this creature has some kind of connection with those ancient ancestors.

And this undoubtedly supports what Chen Ziyan said yesterday, that there is some kind of systematic food chain in this underground space.

"Look again." Chen Ziyan could also think of this, but he didn't rush to draw conclusions, but planned to take another look.

Not surprisingly, nephew Li is a superior creature of the black-haired snake, but not necessarily the superior creature of the giant snake bone, and the black-haired snake does not conform to the image of the lowest-level creature.

Based on the information obtained so far, Chen Ziyan simply calculated a food chain. There are four kinds of creatures on this chain. The top one is undoubtedly the giant snake bone, followed by the nephew who can suppress the black-haired snake, and the bottom one is Currently the largest number of black-haired snakes, and at the bottom is some kind of creature similar to shrimp balls.

However, Chen Ziyan hasn't found it yet, so he can't be sure whether there are creatures similar to shrimp balls. After all, with the number of black-haired snakes, they can also be qualified for this role in a certain sense.

"Okay." Old Dog Wu nodded.

He also felt that it would be better to take a closer look, and making a decision now was indeed a bit hasty.

After confirming that there was nothing valuable on the nephew's stone carving, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou led the team to move on.

During this process, they determined that the terrain was indeed shrinking, and they also determined that the other side of the rock wall was a cliff.

It's just that the height of this cliff is not much, and the searchlight can easily shine to the end, but the origin of this cliff shows that this underground space is very likely to be more than one floor.

Moving the light of the searchlight, Chen Ziyan stood on the cliff and carefully looked at the situation below. Judging from the narrower and narrower terrain in front of him, and the angle began to slope, if nothing unexpected happens, they should continue walking along a path. The more sinuous slope reaches below.

"Chen Xiaoyou, are those below plants?" Wu Laogou paid more attention to the scenery below, he was looking at the green spots on the cliff at the moment.

"It might be some kind of subterranean plant that hates light," Chen Ziyan said.

Although the searchlight could illuminate it, the distance between them was not as short as three to five meters. Under such conditions, he could only see some rough outlines, so he couldn't see clearly what was underneath.

"Let's go, fifth master." After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan greeted Old Dog Wu to go on the road.

It is not easy to know what kind of plants those green patches below are, just walk down and have a look.

Although it seemed calm on the surface, Chen Ziyan was a little restless in his heart.

Because when he just looked down, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong under the rock wall.

It's just that I couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so I didn't tell my discovery.

The development of the matter was similar to Chen Ziyan's expectation. Not long after continuing to move forward, the road ahead of them began to slope more and more while narrowing.

But this doesn't affect them. Even the old Wu Laogou walks on such a road like walking on the ground.

And when the team came down the winding slope, the first thing that caught the eye was not the underground vegetation, but stone carvings one after another.

These stone sculptures are similar to the ones they saw before, but they are smaller in size, and they are regularly distributed under the slope.

Chen Ziyan glanced sideways, and found that these nephew stone sculptures not only appeared at the exit, but also placed at the bottom of the cliff.

Thinking about it, his feeling that something was wrong just now should come from the large number of stone carvings.

"Fifth Master, do you think there is something wrong with these stone carvings?" Thinking in his heart, Chen Ziyan asked directly.

Now there are only the two of them here. If he doesn't intend to act on his own feelings, he can only discuss it with Wu Laogou.

But this is also a good choice. After all, Wu Laogou has decades of experience. Although he has not had much contact with the underground space, there are countless things that have come into contact with the underground, and many problems can be solved by analogy.

"These stone carvings must be weird. There are too many of them." Facing Chen Ziyan's inquiry, Wu Laogou said without hesitation.

He didn't know where the weirdness of the stone carving was, but years of experience told him that if something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Once the number of stone carvings increases, it will have a special effect, not to mention that these stone carvings are still arranged in a certain order. If there is no problem, it will be a real strange thing.

Hiss--

And just as Chen Ziyan was pondering what was weird about the stone carving, the hissing of snakes suddenly came from a distance.
