Chapter 99 Entering, Entering the Demon Cave

"Have you seen it?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, and asked Gongsun, "Where did you see this feather arrow?"

Gongsun frowned, and said, "I've seen this thing recorded in a document." Then, Gongsun sat down and asked several people carefully, "Is this crossbow arrow continuously coming, covering the sky and covering the earth, and even after going through After many years, it is still as new, as if someone is secretly manipulating it?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Exactly."

"That can be said." Gongsun said, "This kind of thing is actually called a fishing net arrow. It has been lost for many years. It is a common protective weapon in tombs or large underground palaces after the Han Dynasty."

"In other words, isn't someone inside controlling this?" Bai Yutang asked.

Gongsun shook his head, "Of course not, it's completely automatic. This kind of hidden weapon is only suitable for use on the sandy ground. It takes advantage of the wind and sand in the desert. As long as there is wind and sand, those arrows will fall back to the ground. , In fact, there is a huge mechanism similar to a fishing net, which can catch those arrows. It takes about two days for the mechanism to be opened until it returns to its original state."

"Two days..." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "That is to say, it will be fine if we go again tomorrow morning?"

Gongsun nodded and said, "That's right, but I don't really recommend that you do it tomorrow."

"Sir, do you mean to make more preparations before going in?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun nodded and said, "Think about it, the first trap is so powerful, wouldn't the second and third traps be even more powerful? If you enter rashly, you may be in danger, so you'd better prepare. Be prepared."

Everyone nodded, Bai Yutang thought for a while, and asked, "Then, what do we need to prepare?" Zhao.

Zhan Zhao also thought about it, and said, "Uh...do you still have something to eat?"

Bai Yutang looked at him weakly, "Cat, how long are you going to stay inside?"

Zhan Zhao thought about it, why don't you bring less?

"Let's prepare for another day. I'll arrange the army, and you haven't slept all night." Pang Tong said to the crowd, "Luo Tongqing's injury has just healed. Let's rest for a while. Let's prepare things and leave tomorrow. Demon Cave."

Everyone looked at each other and thought this proposal was good.

Luo Tongqing's trauma was actually not serious, but the poison was a bit overbearing, so he fell down immediately, but once the poison was removed, the trauma was bandaged, and he woke up slowly after sleeping for a while.

Chen Xing was lying beside his couch, probably tired and fell asleep.Luo Tongqing felt that apart from the faint pain in the wound, the others were not so uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhan Zhao walked in when the door curtain was lifted, and seeing Luo Tong awake, he smiled and said, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Luo Tongqing shook his head and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's afternoon the next day." Zhan Zhao said, "Don't worry, you're fine."

Luo Tongqing nodded, Chen Xing woke up when he heard the noise, and leaned over to look, "Master, how are you?"

"It's okay." Luo Tongqing shook his head.

Bai Yutang also came in with a water glass. He and Zhan Zhao came to deliver medicine to Luo Tongqing. Gongsun just said that he might wake up around this time, so he came to have a look, and sure enough.

Afterwards, Gongsun came to check Luo Tongqing's pulse, and said, "It's all right, the poison is gone."

Luo Tongqing probably knew what happened, and nodded to Gongsun, "Thank you sir for saving me."

Gongsun smiled, packed his things and went out.

Luo Tongqing asked Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, "Uncle Master, when are you going to get on the ghost ship? I'll go with you."

"Master, stop making trouble!" Chen Xing was a little dissatisfied, and said, "Can you get on a ghost ship in such a situation? Do you want to die?"

Zhan Zhao also nodded, and said, "We're leaving tomorrow, you wait outside, it's fine if something happens to one of the parties."

Luo Tongqing seemed a little anxious, but seeing Chen Xing staring at him, he had to give up and agreed to wait outside.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhaoyou comforted Luo Tongqing a few words, and they left the house before it was too early.

Walking outside the big tent, looking at the sunset in the desert in the distance, Bai Yutang stretched his arms and asked, "Cat, after you come out this time, let's go to the empty island first." "Do it What?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Set the wine." Bai Yutang said casually.

"Set wine?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang with wide eyes, and asked, "Is there anyone on the empty island holding a wedding?"

Yutang gave Zhan Zhao a sideways glance, "Ask you knowingly!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, and said, "Uh...you can't be..." As he spoke, he pointed at himself and at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "That's right."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Then... the Kaifeng Mansion should also be arranged once."

Bai Yutang smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his shoulders, "Good cat."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to catch Bai Yutang back, "My dear mouse."

……

The two looked at each other - that's it.

Nothing to say that night.In the early morning of the next day, everyone got ready and rushed to the Demon Cave.

The people who entered the cave this time were: Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Pang Tong, Gongsun Ce and Tang Mi.The old man Yuan has never seen anyone, and the real culprit who kidnapped Yuan Yuan has not appeared, and after Tian Yi and Mu Qingyun appeared once that night, they also disappeared.

Everyone had no choice but to act first.

Luo Tongqing, Chen Xing, and Pang Tong's subordinates were stationed outside, waiting for help.

After tidying up, everyone rushed to the Demon Cave with their bags on their backs, preparing to enter the cave.

This time, everyone was well prepared, and escaped the fishing net and arrow formation outside the demon cave early in the morning, and successfully came to the outside of the castle.

It was only when I got closer that I found out that the castle had obviously been buried underground for many years, and the city walls were dilapidated. If it was a new ship, now there is only a broken ship frame left.

Bai Yutang took a step back, looked up, and said, "Where do you go in? The walls are all sealed." "That's right." Everyone turned around, but they didn't find a door or anything.

"The city gate may be below." Pang Tong said, "Look at the ground, the castle is buried more than half in the sand."

Everyone looked down and nodded... What should I do?

"There are lines on the city wall." At this time, Zhan Zhao groped for the lines on the surface of the city wall, and said, "It looks like some kind of circuit diagram."

"Could it be some kind of mechanism?" Gongsun also reached out his hand to grope, Bai Yutang was taken aback, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, tell me...is the picture recorded on the moth?"

"It's possible." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Then what should I do?" Tang Mi asked, "There are no moths, and you can't get in. Waiting here is not an option.

While talking, the crowd suddenly heard some noises, subconsciously raised their heads, and saw a person standing on the mast above the hull of the ship.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly——this desert is just so annoying, there are too many disturbances, and the wind is whistling, so you can't really hear someone approaching.

"Who?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The man was dressed in black, his face and body were tightly wrapped, and in a blink of an eye... he disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other and flew up to chase after him. Gongsun was also taken by Pang Tong.

The man in black moved extremely fast, he seemed to have good lightness kung fu, he disappeared after a few vertical leaps.

"What does he mean?" Bai Yutang frowned, "It seems that he intends to lead the way."

"There may be some kind of trick." Pang Tong said, "Everyone, be careful."

Everyone nodded, followed the black shadow, and landed on the deck of the ship-shaped castle... Afterwards, the man in black flashed somewhere and disappeared without a trace.

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao and the others were surprised.

"Why is it gone?" Bai Yutang looked around, but there was no one, but there was a shadow in front of him, as if there was a black hole.

Everyone noticed that something was wrong with that place, there was a strange wind gust inside, and they felt creepy when they were far away.

"Go and see?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Be careful!"

The two of them walked forward to the outside of the cave, and looked inside with their probes. The cave was sloping downwards and seemed to be quite deep. The cool wind was blowing from inside. The cave was originally a sealed city wall and was smashed by someone It's open.

Bai Yutang took out a black jade locust rock and threw it into it...

The stone bone rolled for a long time, but there was no sound of landing, and everyone couldn't help frowning.

"It seems to be unfathomable!" Gongsun said. "The steps go down, there should be many steps."

"That is to say, the passage is lower, right?" Tang Mi asked.

"It's very possible." Zhan Zhao nodded, "But it's also possible that it's because the ground is covered with soft things, so the stones fell without making any impact sound.

"It's no use talking here, how about going in and taking a look?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao knows that he has always been bold, but he is not the only one. Among these few people, which one is the most timid?On the contrary, I am very curious, wanting to know what is inside.

The torches were lit, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walked in the front, Pang Tong and Gongsun walked in the middle, and Tang Mi was in the back... Together, everyone stepped into the dark cave carefully and walked towards the bottomless abyss go.

Just entering the entrance of the cave, I found a bad situation - the stone steps are not going straight down, but spiraling down, and everyone held torches and just turned a few turns... The light at the entrance behind them disappeared. plunged into darkness.

Everyone was more careful several times, slowed down and walked down, but...the stairs really have no bottom, and after walking for a long time, they didn't see anything else, except for the stone steps, which were still stone steps.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Tang Mi became a little impatient, "When did this ignorant person end up?"

Zhan Zhao patted the bag beside him, and said to himself...fortunately, he brought enough dry food for three days.

Seeing that his behavior was interesting, Bai Yutang said, "Mao'er, you are in a good mood."

Zhan Zhao shrugged his shoulders——Actually, it was nothing. After they entered the cave, it was smoother than he imagined. He thought that once he went down the stairs, he would have to deal with those terrifying traps... But the walls were empty, It is an ordinary stone wall carved by hand.

"We have walked down the nine hundred steps." Gongsun said suddenly.

Everyone turned to look at him in astonishment, and Bai Yutang asked in surprise, "Mr. Gongsun, have you counted?"

"Yeah." Gongsun nodded and said, "The ancients generally regarded nine as an auspicious number. When we reach level 99, there may be ground. If there is no ground by then...then this place will be Something is wrong!"

Everyone nodded, and counted silently as they walked down... Sure enough, at the 99th level, a flat land suddenly appeared in front of them, and their vision opened up. Everyone entered a small room. There are two doors with a few words written on the door.Although the color is still peeling off, the handwriting is still faintly legible, and there are three words written - evil devil hole.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and everyone looked at each other, wanting to know if the demon cave was real or not, but Bai Yutang suddenly reached out and patted Zhan Zhao.

When Zhan Zhao turned his face, he saw him lowering his head, as if he was looking for something.

"Yutang, what's wrong?" Zhan Zhao asked him.

"Cat." Bai Yutang raised his head and looked at Zhan Zhao, "My rock...have you seen it?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and everyone looked at each other. The black jade flying locust stone in Bai Yutang should have landed nearby, but it wasn't there, nor was it on the steps just came down... What about the stone?Where did you go?
