Chapter 197 Troll Tree (4600)(1/2)
Wu Liang is not a hypocritical person.
Seeing Dian Wei's persistence and not being sure what he would encounter after entering the cave, he knew that bringing Dian Wei with him would undoubtedly make this operation much safer.
And based on his understanding of Dian Wei, this man is not ordinary sincere.
If something happened to him inside and Dian Wei did not follow him, life would be worse than death for this resolute but stubborn man...
After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang finally nodded and said: "Okay, Dian Wei and I will enter the cave together, and the rest of the people will wait outside..."
As a result, the words just fell out.
But Bai Jingjing stood in front of him again, frowning and asked: "What do you mean, you scoundrel? Do you want to take this opportunity to get rid of me, a Sui Zhu, and kidnap Sui Hou Zhu to abscond?"
Wu Liang naturally knew that Bai Jingjing was not talking about Suihou Zhu and Suizhu people, but was just using this as an excuse to follow him in.
So she deliberately said with a straight face: "Jingjing, don't follow me this time. Until now, I haven't figured out what the evil thing is here. If there is any danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. Be obedient."
!”
"People in Sui Zhu only listen to Sui Hou Zhu's words. I will be wherever Sui Hou Zhu is. This is the oath I made to the ancestors of the Bai family when I left home. What you say doesn't count, and what I say doesn't count."
As she spoke, without Wu Liang's reminder, Bai Jingjing had already imitated Wu Liang and put on the "gas mask" on her face, her gaze extremely firm.
"Jingjing..."
Wu Liang had already begun to consider whether to use the "Lost Soul Incense" to charm Bai Jingjing, but he felt uneasy leaving her outside. If some outsider came and ended up with a little dragon girl, he would definitely regret it.
lifelong……
at this time.
"If you keep talking nonsense here, Yang Wanli and the others will go far away."
Yu Ji suddenly said in an angry voice.
I saw that this old boy who had always been "greedy for life and afraid of death" had actually put on a "gas mask" and had already bent down and crawled into the half-meter-high cave.
"Old sir, what are you..."
Wu Liangpo looked at Yu Ji with some surprise.
Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing insisted on following him in, which was easier to understand, but Yu Ji's behavior was completely beyond his expectation.
This old boy always hides behind when encountering danger, and sometimes he can't even see his shadow. However, this time he came forward like this, which is really very different from the old boy's usual temperament.
Even before that, Wu Liang felt that even if the two soldiers entered the cave with him, Yu Ji would definitely not enter.
"When we were in Yuzhang County, Yang Wanli saved my life. This time he is in trouble. If I ignore it, you will definitely stab me in the back... At my age? Face is more important than life.
.”
Yu Ji's voice already had some hollow echoes.
Unexpectedly, there was so much fighting? The first person to enter this unknown cave was actually an old boy named Yu Ji.
Wu Liang finally stopped talking nonsense about this matter and just shook his head helplessly. He told the remaining two soldiers, "You must stay outside to respond. If we haven't come out after dawn, you will immediately return to the station and inform the Hu army."
Stand by where you are? Waiting for the envoy's army to arrive and report back to the general leading the army."
"If you hear a whistle coming from the cave? You will also return to the station immediately and lead the entire Hu army to enter the cave to meet us."
"Do you understand?"
The two soldiers knew that their position was also very important, so they immediately responded: "Understood!"
"Okay, let's go in too. But let's talk about the ugly things first? If you guys die here because of this, don't complain to me when you get down there. I didn't ask you to come in together."
After making a joke like this, Wu Liang got into the cave for the second time.
To be honest, seeing the choice between Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji? Wu Liang is actually quite heartwarming.
This small team he built by himself is starting to look more and more like this. At least the members can rely on each other and leave each other's backs to each other.
This small team has a soul without even realizing it.
"Together we live; apart we die."
Wu Liang suddenly thought of a classic line about the captain who touched the gold in later tomb robbing novels.
If there is no accident this time and Yang Wanli can be rescued, Wu Liang plans to let Yang Wanli and Yu Ji officially join his small archaeological team.
He will give the ring with the word "three" engraved on it to Yang Wanli.
"Three" represents communication, which corresponds to Yang Wanli's responsibilities.
And Yu Ji will get the ring engraved with "empty".
"Empty" means nothingness. Yu Ji wholeheartedly pursues the way to become an immortal. In Wu Liang's eyes, this so-called way to become an immortal is nothingness. Of course, he also wishes Yu Ji to be as immortal as Orochimaru. The old man
It's not easy to live such a long life and still be an old boy.
now.
This small team has already confirmed five members.
Wu Liang did not insist on finding owners for all ten rings, but he was still very much looking forward to finding all kinds of capable people and absorbing them...
…
After entering the cave.
Everyone only climbed a few meters along the downward slope before they were able to stand up naturally.
It turns out that the entrance to the cave was mostly covered by accumulated mud. In fact, the real height inside the cave is nearly three meters, and the width is enough to accommodate a carriage.
Even if Dian Wei straightened up and walked in here, he didn't feel any cramped at all.
"It looks like this is not a drainage system, but an underground passage."
Using the Suihou Pearl to illuminate the nearby passage, Wu Liang made a judgment based on the specifications and craftsmanship of the passage.
If it is a drainage system, there is no need to build it so well, let alone to build it so spacious. A passage as big as a hole is enough.
Moreover, there is no structure such as a sink left in the channel.
As long as there is a drainage system, there must be a sink. Just like when the bathroom was renovated in later generations, a certain slope would be left on the floor of the bathroom to guide the water to flow smoothly into the drain.
The same is true for the drainage system. If there are no sinks for drainage, water will accumulate under the city and cannot be drained. Over time, it will not only affect the service life of the building, but a pool of stagnant water and domestic garbage will also produce some terrible viruses and eventually cause plague.
It's like digging your own grave.
This discovery is naturally a good thing for Wu Liang and others.
The underground passages are much cleaner than the drainage system. At least you don't have to worry too much about contracting some unknown super virus, or even an ancient virus.
In this way, he followed Yang Wanli and walked a certain distance away from the soldier.
Finally, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.
Yang Wanli and the soldier stood at the fork for a few seconds, and then, as if they sensed the direction, they turned and walked towards the fork on the right.
"The evil in this boy Yang Wanli is really not simple. It's like an invisible thread has been born to pull him and control his every move. If they hadn't led the way, we would have entered this cave and we wouldn't have known how to go.
.”
Seeing this scene, Yu Ji wrinkled his old face and sighed, and then said, "Now I suddenly feel that the decision just now seems a bit hasty. I thought about it carefully. If I lose my life, how can I pay back this face?"
What's the use? I just don't know if it's too late for me to quit now?"
"What do you think?"
Wu Liang was angry and funny, and asked the old boy sideways.
"I think... you are all young people with lively ideas. You should make more witticisms like me. Both the speaker and the listener will feel relaxed. If they feel relaxed, this kind of ghost place will not be so scary.
Already."
Yu Ji is indeed an eloquent demon. He turned the topic elsewhere with a glance, looked at Dian Wei who was the least talkative among them with a smile and said, "Dian Wei, why don't you give me some advice first?"
How are they doing?"
This old boy is a real thief.
Knowing that Dian Wei was a ruthless person and not saying much, and knowing that Dian Wei would not argue with him, he dared to tease Dian Wei out.
Hearing Yu Ji call his name.
Dian Wei still walked in front without looking away, as if he didn't hear it at all.
As a result, just when Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing thought that Dian Wei was too lazy to care about him, Dian Wei's muffled low voice suddenly came from in front of him: "Although you can't have both, a boy and an old man can have both.
.”???
Wu Liang, Bai Jingjing, and Yu Ji were all stunned when they heard Dian Wei's sudden words.
None of the three of them expected that Dian Wei would take the initiative to respond to Yu Ji's teasing, and it seemed to be a retort, right?
It must be a retort, right?
Good luck!
Dian Wei, who never talks nonsense, is actually quarreling with Yu Ji!
After being stunned for a second.
