Chapter 242: Lost in the Abyss(1/2)
Now the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. The wretched man wanted to hold Bai Chi, but Bai Chi easily dodged him. Cheng Hao's eyes changed from evading at first to looking directly. Bai Chi looked at Cheng Hao steadily and asked again.
road:
"Actually, you know, you just don't want to tell me, right?"
Cheng Hao glanced at Bai Chi and said, "I don't know anything. If you insist on thinking so, I have nothing to say!"
When Bai Chi heard this, he felt as if he had been injected with blood, and cursed: "What do you mean? If it weren't for your appearance, we wouldn't be able to stay here?"
Cheng Hao looked at Bai Chi coldly. Suddenly, Bai Chi saw a hint of fierceness in Cheng Hao's eyes. However, it disappeared without a trace in an instant...
The wretched man hurriedly grabbed Bai Chi and said:
"Boss, please calm down. Now that we are here, we can't engage in internal strife! If you are still thinking about that person, I will go down with you to have a look."
When Bai Chi heard this, he suddenly turned around and looked at the wretched man, then turned around and ran in the direction of the four tents, where there were still discarded climbing ropes. Although the wretched man agreed to go down with him, he did not
It must really go down.
Dragging three bundles of ropes, they ran over slowly. To their surprise, Cheng Hao and the others were ready to enter the abyss at any time.
With several people stunned, Bai Chi hurriedly connected the ropes together and fixed them on a big tree. When everything was ready, Bai Chi asked Cheng Hao for a cigarette.
None of the four people said anything, as if Baichi's decision was a recognized matter.
After finishing his cigarette, Bai Chi threw the rope into the abyss. He tightened his tattered clothes and slowly slid down while holding on to the rope.
Bai Chi didn't say a word during this period, not wanting to hear any sound, because Bai Chi was afraid that the last line of defense in his heart would collapse. At this moment, even a few people didn't dare to look at him.
After Bai Chi had gone down to a distance of five or six meters, the wretched man followed, followed closely by Shen Li and Cheng Hao. Bai Chi did not feel any discomfort when the three people came down. This matter was related to his own destiny.
The arrival of the three people just added some different factors.
Perhaps, this is what the promoters behind the scenes want to see.
As they slid all the way down, the cliffs on the edge of the abyss slowly turned black. The further they went down, the darker they became, until the four of them were completely enveloped in the darkness below.
At this time, I couldn't see my fingers, and the sun's light could not shine in this direction at all. It was estimated that it might have slipped into the abyss, and a strong smell of blood mixed with bursts of rotten stench came up from below.
Bai Chi frowned and endured the strong smell, forcing himself not to think about the scene below. Involuntarily, his mind recalled the man's expression towards him and the voice that sounded in his heart.
Who is waiting for me? This sentence keeps echoing in Bai Chi's heart like a magic spell.
After waiting for more than thirty years, this man looks as young as Bai Chi, but has been around for such a long time. If Bai Chi hadn't sensed it himself, he wouldn't have believed it to be true.
If one day in a few years, a person who looks exactly like you suddenly appears in front of you and swears these words to you, how will you react? Is it confusion or deep panic?
Everyone would have their own answer before encountering such a thing, but when they actually encounter it, they can only turn into deep shock.
This is the human surname. No one is sure what will happen in the next second. Likewise, no one can know how long he can last in this world.
After continuing to slide for a while, Bai Chi felt his feet touch something, and suddenly he felt more at ease. After letting go of the rope, the three obscene men also landed one after another.
The bottom of the abyss was extremely humid, and thick moss had grown on the stone walls because there was no direct sunlight. Shen Li retched twice because she could not adapt. She probably vomited out her gastric juices because she had not eaten anything in the morning.
Bai Chi asked the wretched man for Shen Li's small flashlight and began to search slowly underneath.
The bottom of the abyss is filled with the bones of various beasts, which have been severely rotted. The ground is sticky, and a piece of slime will splash up when you step on it.
Baichi slowed down and searched carefully. It was from this direction that the man fell just now. However, Baichi searched for a long time but could not find a human body. Could it be that the man did not really fall, but Are you playing a blind trick?
This idea is a bit scary. If that person is playing this kind of game with me, then he must have climbed somewhere when he fell, but he should have seen it when he slid down like that.
Now, not only have I not seen anything on the cliff, but I have not found any trace of this person in this place.
Before Bai Chi could figure out the reason, the wretched man suddenly let out a light sigh, and Bai Chi hurriedly shined his flashlight in that direction. For a moment, Bai Chi was stunned with surprise. What appeared in front of their eyes was a pile of bones as tall as a person. .
Bai Chi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and saw this bone mountain again without the fear when he saw it for the first time. It seemed that the appearance of this bone mountain was a very normal thing.
The wretched man gently took the flashlight from Bai Chi's hand and walked slowly over there. Although Bai Chi still couldn't let go of that person in his heart, he had already encountered a more important problem at this time and could no longer think about that incident blindly. matter.
There is a different world in this abyss! This was Baichi's thought for a moment. Now think back to the scene when 'Baichi' pushed him. It seemed that he didn't want to push him away, but wanted Baichi to come down to this place with him...
However, the arrival of Cheng Hao made the man stop his next movements, and the expression on his face when he fell down was also telling Baichi about the strangeness below.
After thinking about this, Bai Chi stood speechless for a long time behind the wretched man. Everything in this place cannot be speculated with common sense. These things are far beyond everything seen in Ziying's tomb.
Baichi doesn't know who is controlling this series of things. But again, everything you do now is being noticed by someone. This is a chilling thought, but it actually exists around us.
Maybe it's the wretched man and Cheng Hao, maybe it's Shen Li, or maybe it's this Bai Chi himself who can't even figure it out right now!
It is incredible that the bone mountain in front is not like what you see in the stone hall. This bone mountain is made of bones from the whole body. The skull and body bones are not piled separately. However, because the vision is too blurry, Bai Chi cannot distinguish clearly. Human bones or beast bones.
But one thing is certain, there must have been an intelligent creature living here before.
The wretched man kicked the bones below, and a piece of mucus immediately splashed out. However, the difference was that the closer you got to the bone mountain, you could no longer smell the disgusting rancid smell, but instead had the strong musky smell.
Bai Chi pinched his nose and frowned as he looked forward. This smell was much more pleasant than the rotten smell. Although it was a bit stronger, it wouldn't make people vomit.
Cheng Hao didn't turn on the flashlight, but stretched out his hand to touch the bone. His face suddenly changed and he quickly retracted his hand. Bai Chi was confused when he saw this, so he didn't know what he had touched so he was so nervous. Bai Chi also imitated Cheng Hao and touched it, and there was a moment. I felt a coldness that penetrated my soul and entered my body from my bones.
The temperature of the bones penetrated into the bone marrow. If Bai Chi hadn't touched it with his own hands, he would never have imagined that the bones would have such a temperature. Cheng Hao glanced at Bai Chi, with a wry smile on his lips.
Bai Chi pretended not to see anything and looked at the bone mountain again. The wretched man and Shen Li looked at the two of them inexplicably, not knowing what they were doing.
After observing for a long time without seeing anything, Shen Li sneezed and suggested:
"Should we look inside again?"
Bai Chi nodded in agreement. The shadow of the man has not been found yet, and he is not sure whether he fell or not. If you look further, you may discover all the secrets of this forest.
He took the flashlight from the wretched man's hand again and shined it forward. The darkness was once too thick and the light of the flashlight could not penetrate at all.
Seeing that the flashlight had no effect at this time, Bai Chi turned to the wretched man and said, "Are you carrying the flare?"
The wretched man was startled for a moment, then looked at Cheng Hao and said, "Shoot out the signal bomb!"
Cheng Hao didn't say anything, and his body shook when he took off his backpack. Only then did Bai Chi realize that Cheng Hao's shoulder was still injured, but he endured the pain and slid down in order to be able to come down with Bai Chi.
Bai Chi can feel this kind of pain. When grabbing the climbing rope, you need the strength of both arms. Cheng Hao's shoulder has been injured, so the pain he endures is unbearable.
Compared with Cheng Hao's endurance, Bai Chi shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to come to the abyss this time.
Perhaps, Bai Chi's deeds have pushed the three of them into a pit of fire.
Faced with the obscene man's insistence, Bai Chi could only remain silent. The obscene man's actions had proven that he believed in himself. Even if someone who looked the same as Bai Chi appeared, the obscene man had no intention of doubting Bai Chi.
The reappearance of Gushan has completely disrupted Baichi's original route. Now Baichi just wants to find out where that person went and doesn't want to get involved in other things.
Cheng Hao took out the signal gun and fired it into the distance. Suddenly, a white light pierced into Bai Chi's eyes, followed by a bright light.
The burst of the signal flare shone like a bright sun, and everything in front of the four people was revealed before their eyes.
There were corpses strewn all along the way, as if they were caused by the carcasses of wild beasts that had been piled up for decades.
Inexplicably, the concept of thirty years appeared in Bai Chi's mind again. Has this place existed for thirty years? And he came today just to be able to completely solve these things?
The road ahead was just a quick glance. It was too long, and the light of the flares could not illuminate the road to the abyss. But just looking at it in front of the four people was frightening.
Shen Li, who was behind her, suddenly shouted at this time. Bai Chi looked back quickly, thinking she had found the trace of that person. She pointed to the front and said to several people: "Look, in the darkness at the front, isn't it? Standing alone?"
Bai Chi suddenly frowned. In a place like this, Shen Li's words were undoubtedly a very scary hint. There were only four people here. If there was one more person, who would it be?
Looking closely, there was indeed something straight and straight at the end of the light. With a flash of excitement, Bai Chi quickly realized that if there was one more person, then it was most likely the 'Bai Chi' who looked exactly like him.
Baichi didn't care about anything, picked up the flashlight and ran over there. The wretched man screamed when he saw this, but at this time, Baichi no longer had time to lock up so many people. Only by finding this person could Baichi truly understand his identity. .
There were too many skeletons on the ground, and the figures above them were still standing quietly, as if waiting for Bai Chi's arrival.
The wretched man also ran over with Baichi at this time, getting very close. When he ran to the figure, Baichi was stunned. This was not that person, but a corpse.
Bai Chi was almost numb when he saw the corpse now, and he already had some resistance to it. The posture of the corpse in front of him was very strange, but what made Bai Chi a little confused was that the legs of the corpse were also torn from the waist.
The wretched man clicked his tongue, and Bai Chi shined a flashlight on the corpse, and found that the clothes of the corpse were exactly the same as the clothes of the man just now.
However, the face of this corpse was so decomposed that it was invisible, but other parts were lifelike, as if it were not dead.
He held a wooden stick in his right hand to keep his body from falling. His only remaining leg was placed in the center of his body, but his head was facing into the abyss.
Bai Chi shuddered. The scene reminded him of the murals he saw in Ziying's tomb. The man in the robe at that time was pointing at the darkness, while this one was looking into the darkness.
An unspeakable pressure slowly penetrated from the darkness, and Bai Chi shone his flashlight into the darkness.
It didn't matter at first glance, there were actually two forks in the road in front of the four of them.
My mood at this moment is as confusing as when I saw two caves in the cave. The two forked roads here are obviously naturally formed and may not necessarily cause the same thing.
But the problem now is which path to take. At this time, Bai Chi didn't dare to make the decision without authorization. The wretched man turned around and called Cheng Hao over. He waited until the four of him arrived before starting to study which path to take.
Bai Chi's thoughts are different from theirs. The reason why he came here is to find the reason for his existence in this world. And the three of them just came down with Bai Chi. So Bai Chi must first determine a path for himself. If the wretched man Renren and Baichi chose the opposite, only to divide their troops into two groups.
Because Baichi cannot be sure that there is no danger in this operation. If he is left alone, even if there is a life-threatening crisis, only Baichi will face it. With Baichi's skills, others should not be harmed.
But Baichi's thinking is a bit naive. If something more dangerous than Baichi is encountered on the other road, does that mean that Baichi buried the other three people here?
Bai Chi was too lazy to think about it and could only look at the three of them quietly. After about a cigarette, the wretched man slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Hao probably thought Bai Chi was angry now and didn't want to offend Bai Chi. Cheng Hao
Hao looked at the road on the left and nodded.
Bai Chi was slightly stunned. Cheng Hao had already become the pillar among the four of them. This action now proved the result of the discussion just now. And the path Bai Chi had determined for himself was the path on the left.
Bai Chi ignored them and walked in with a small flashlight. The wretched man and Cheng Hao whispered something that Bai Chi didn't understand, and followed Bai Chi.
After walking for more than ten meters, there were no bones of beasts at Baichi's feet, but there were some strange fragments.
To be continued...
