Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 448

The steps go down, about one foot wide, and each step is about thirty centimeters, spreading down, bottomless, black and dark.

As for the space below, I don't know where it is connected, but there is a "woo woo" wind, blowing up from below, with a biting cold, which makes people shiver uncontrollably, and finds that the whole body is icy cold.

Really cold.

Down here, is the eightfold cold world of hell?

I was thinking in my heart, but I couldn't bear to ask, I saw Captain Peng raised his hand, and Xia Longfei immediately followed up, squinting at the steps that went deep into the ground, and then took out the small mud ball from the backpack Come on, aim at the steps below, crush it, and throw it down.

The small ball of mud ball fell under the steps, and after jumping a few times, it burned instantly, illuminating the dark steps down, and it could be seen tens of meters down.

The small ball illuminated the space, while Captain Peng looked solemnly and looked at it carefully, while Xia Longfei said, "Shall I go test it out?"

Captain Peng shook his head and said, "This place looks strange, there must be something strange, Chen Jing, you go."

Chen Jing stepped forward and said yes.

After all, he took out more than a dozen pieces of wood from his rucksack, and after quickly assembling them, it turned into a mechanical puppy. Afterwards, Chen Jing twisted the dog's tail for a while, and put it on the ground. It really started to move, moving towards the bottom of the stone steps stiffly.

The thing looked crude and wobbly, as if it was about to fall down at any time and couldn't get up. However, for some reason, it seemed that there was a balance point, and it never fell down, just like that. Walking down the stone steps, about a dozen or so steps down, suddenly several spikes shot out from the wall on the left, aggressively, all of them shot to the other side.

The thing shot out with great force, and the long end of the spike did not penetrate the wall on the right side, and it was difficult to pull it out again.

Seeing this sudden change, we couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I don't know when this arrangement was made, but it must have been hundreds or even thousands of years ago. I didn't expect the mechanism inside to remain sharp, which is really shocking.

It is conceivable that if we just walked down in a daze like this, maybe people would die inexplicably as we walked.

But the more dangerous it is, the more we can be sure that this place may really be the legendary White Tiger Secret Realm.

If it is fake, it cannot be so dangerous.

After confirming the matter, Captain Peng began to order: "Chen Jing, you and Tang Dao go to the front to investigate the agency, Xia Longfei, follow behind, and observe the changes around you at any time, Xiaoma, you, Hou Mo, Mo Yan The little mage will protect Teacher Zhang and Dr. Huang, and the rest will walk behind with me."

There are bound to be many traps ahead, but this does not stop us. A group of people began to follow the trap dog and walked down slowly.

Chen Jing is a student of the Mohist school, proficient in organ skills, and is on guard against all the tricks here, while Tang Dao, because of his own talent, has a strong sense of danger. It is most appropriate for these two people to investigate ahead, so I didn't take the initiative to stand up and take on this.

Sometimes, both advancing and retreating require a wink.

A group of people walked down slowly, stop and go, the bright flashlight in my hand illuminated the bottom, after a while, I walked to the place where the mechanism was triggered just now, and found that the spike was some kind of black metal, not like iron, There was an inexplicable coolness.

When I saw this, I stretched out my hand and couldn't help but want to touch it, but Teacher Zhang behind me stopped him and said, "Be careful, it's poisonous."

I stopped my hands, and only then did I realize that there was actually a piece of tile-blue water stain on the wall, and there was an indescribable sour smell on it, inhaled in the nose, there was indeed a drowsy feeling. Feel.

I stepped back subconsciously, and asked in amazement, "What is this?"

Teacher Zhang got a cotton swab from his bag, dipped it on the water stains, then looked at the cotton that quickly turned black and yellow, and said, "It looks like some kind of poisonous toad gland refinement, this thing can Hallucinating, be careful."

She waved her hand, Huang Xueer took out a small bottle, sprayed it, a white foam like toothpaste immediately covered the area.

At this moment, a huge shock suddenly appeared below, and I felt the stone steps under my feet tremble, so I bent down subconsciously, while Captain Peng at the end of the line asked loudly, "What's going on?"

The news came from the front, Xia Longfei told us that we came across a stepping stone slab, and there was a deep pit under the slab. No hit.

Continuing to go down, I also came to the stepping stone slab, and found that the three stone steps here were gone, revealing a dark hole, and there was a whistling wind whistling below, I don't know the depth.

It is conceivable that if you didn't pay attention at that time and fell down the stone slab, you probably would have lost your life.

After this incident, the two people in front became more cautious, and even so, they still encountered a lot of agencies, but some of these weird agency methods were discovered by Chen Jing in advance, and they were bypassed after they were clearly marked. The mechanism puppy controlled by Chen Jing was triggered ahead of time.

And the most dangerous time, Tang Dao and Chen Jing were almost killed by poisonous smoke.

But even so, Chen Jing still showed sufficient professionalism, and finally led us to the end of the stone steps, a large valley.

This place does not seem to be an underground space. When you look up, you can actually see a few blinking stars through the hazy clouds. Surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, there are many dilapidated buildings standing on the flat land in front of you. with ruins.

At first glance, it looks very similar to the deep valley where we were plotted and beaten before, but the scale seems to be much larger, especially the surrounding cliffs, which are almost vertically facing upwards, straight into the sky.

It is night now, and the sky is pitch black, with only slight starlight, and we can feel a little brightness. We took a strong flashlight and looked forward, but found that this large group of abandoned buildings actually looked like a building palace. However, after a long time, the vicissitudes of life have turned into ruins overgrown with weeds. Only some stone railings and pillars that fell to the ground can feel the former glory here.

I didn't feel anything when I saw this, but Teacher Zhang and Dr. Huang were so excited that they were going crazy. Ignoring Captain Peng's safety warning, they quickly ran to the ruins, put on white gloves, and shook their hands. Touch and look for some recognizable traces.

Captain Peng stopped it at first, but when he jumped onto a commanding height of ruins and rubble, looked around and found that there was no danger, he ignored it.

Teacher Zhang and Dr. Huang walked and watched among the large ruins. Five minutes later, they discussed and told us one thing.

Here, it is likely to be the place where the legendary Queen Mother of the West is located.

In other words, the Queen Mother of the West in the ancient Chinese mythology lived here, and with her, there were also the Kunlun Immortals.

These former pioneers practiced here and suppressed the evil in the world. However, no matter how brilliant they were, they still could not escape the erosion of time. Even Queen Mother Xi, who was said to have the "undead elixir" in the legend, did not disappear. gone.

The country is picturesque, there were so many heroes at one time, but now they all disappeared.

During the walk, I felt the desolation of the passing of time, but for Teacher Zhang and others, this was a great discovery, it can be said to be a shocking spectacle, but for Captain Peng, what he was thinking about was not Not such a ruin, but the main destination of our scientific expedition team this time.

White Tiger Secret Realm.

According to the legend, Baihu is an extremely enchanting woman. She is extremely intelligent and far-sighted, so she was able to find and occupy such a place, and opened up the fairy cave in the prehistoric and ancient times as her hiding place.

It is impossible for such a smart person to have no arrangements and defenses for his lair.

We have seen nothing now, and we are too happy to be happy.

Soon, Captain Peng led the people to a cliff. There was nothing ahead, and there was an abyss of thousands of feet below. Looking back, the "Yaochi" just now was in front of a platform.

Captain Peng shone a flashlight on a natural stone bridge about one meter wide that protruded out of nowhere.

One end of this stone bridge is connected to the edge of the cliff where we are, while the other end stretches straight into the foggy darkness ahead, with no end in sight.

He led the people here, and said, "From this 'Naihe Bridge', go straight up, and you will arrive at the Eightfold Cold Realm of Hell, and one of the caves is the White Tiger Secret Realm."

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing this stone bridge standing in the sky, which violates the common sense of physics, everyone felt that this thing was a bit unreliable, Tang Dao stepped forward, knocked on the bridge body with his hand, and asked, "Will it suddenly break? "

Captain Peng shook his head and said no, but in the middle of the sky, there will be a strong wind from the ground, so those who are unstable can easily be blown into the abyss.And once you fall down, even if you have great abilities, you can't return to the human world!
