Chapter 9 Mysterious Cave

"Will there be any danger inside?" Cheng Xiuyuan felt that Ji Houchen was not the kind of person who took the lead, why would he be so active in a cave with unknown dangers.

"You think he's so straightforward. He just thinks that the first one to go in will be the first to find the traces of the Shengxi tribe." Mo Yunxuan snorted.

Yeah?Cheng Xiuyuan turned to look at the dark cave, and suddenly saw a bright light from the corner of his eye, and he took a closer look, it turned out that there was something strange about the place where Ji Houchen was standing just now.

When he took a closer look, the stones here had obviously been moved by someone, and a yellow thing loomed in the gap between the sand and stones.He squatted down and removed the stones with his hands, swept away the sand, and saw a yellow strip of cloth, which had been wet by running water.

"What is that?" Mo Yunxuan frowned as he looked at the strip of cloth in Cheng Xiuyuan's hand.

"I found this at the foot of the second quarter morning. It was covered by some sand and stones. It should have been covered by him in a hurry."

Pei Shang sneered: "No wonder you're so active. It turns out that you made a discovery just now, and I'm afraid we'll be ahead of you."

Mo Yunxuan took the cloth strip and looked it over carefully: "This is already the depths of the Lost Path Forest, ordinary people would not enter here, it is very likely that it was left by the Shengxi tribe who escaped from the world, so Ji Houchen would go in so impatiently that he almost deceived us."

"I don't think he has that kind of luck." Pei Shang waved his hand to signal his subordinates to follow, and after taking a look at Mo Yunxuan, he walked inside.

Cheng Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Mo Yunxuan: "Your Highness, are we not leaving?"

Mo Yunxuan smiled: "Don't worry, wait for them to leave first."

"Aren't you afraid that they will take the lead?" Cheng Xiuyuan was a little surprised.

Mo Yunxuan blinked at him, with a bit of playfulness in his evil charm, and the corner of his mouth was raised, full of charm: "It's not so easy to find the people of the Shengxi tribe, why don't you let them explore the way first, even if you meet them The danger can also be borne first for us."

Cheng Xiuyuan nodded after being instructed: "Your Highness still has a long-term plan."

After Ji Houchen and Pei Shang went in, Mo Yunxuan started to move.

"Your Highness, the rain is so heavy, General Li and the others won't get lost, right?" Cheng Xiuyuan was a little worried about that honest man.

"Just now, I was mocking others openly and secretly, but now I feel better. Don't worry, Li Jiang has been on the battlefield, and he also has a map in his hand. How could he get lost? I think you should pay more attention to yourself!"

"Although I can't fight, can't I serve you?" Cheng Xiuyuan's eyes turned into crescents with a smile, his tone was serious, and he turned his head to look at Mo Yunxuan, "You are a person who can't even button your clothes. .”

Mo Yunxuan was dazzled by Cheng Xiuyuan's smile, and he didn't react much when he heard his outrageous words: "If I know how to button up, you should get out."

Cheng Xiuyuan chuckled, "Thank you Your Highness for giving me a chance to work."

"No thanks." Mo Yunxuan put his face close to Cheng Xiuyuan, and said the two words a little emphatically.

This is the first time that Cheng Xiuyuan and Mo Yunxuan have spoken so much. Most of the time, their communication is limited to daily life and work, and they seldom talk in such a way of teasing each other.

The inside of this cave is very humid, the rock wall is eroded unevenly, and in some places, water is even dripping from the rock wall, and even the temperature is lower than outside.

Mo Yunxuan raised his head to look at the dome, and found that the further he went in, the larger the space became.

His vision was gradually restricted by the darkness, and Cheng Xiuyuan walked forward cautiously, for fear that if the stone under his feet slipped, he would fall and eat shit.

"Turn on all the searchlights!" Mo Yunxuan shouted.

The light illuminated the area they were in, and they found that the cave was not leading straight to the end point, there was a turning point ahead, and there were many small caves all over the rock wall, black holes, like peeping eyes, The atmosphere seemed a little weird.

Cheng Xiuyuan subconsciously moved a little closer to Mo Yunxuan.

Ji Houchen, who was walking ahead, became vigilant. He had an ominous premonition, and looked at the cave next to him from time to time.Suddenly, something ear-piercing came out from those small caves, like fingernails scratching the walls, and with a sharp hiss, it spread eeriely to everyone in the cave.

All the people began to gather towards the middle, protecting Ji Houchen in the middle.

"Shine the lamp on the cave on the rock wall!" Ji Houchen roared, his face turned pale, he had never encountered such a strange thing before.

At this time, the cave was so quiet that the sound of water dripping on the ground could be heard, and everyone was on guard.

The weird voice gradually became louder, which meant that those things were getting closer to them.

Ji Houchen took off the gun from his waist.

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

All sounds are amplified at this point.

Pairs of yellow eyes appeared in the small cave.

"Ji Shao, be careful." The subordinate reminded.

Ji Houchen has already opened the safety catch of the pistol/gun.

At this time, Pei Shang, who had turned the corner, had already spotted Ji Houchen who was preparing for battle. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and ordered his subordinates to be alert immediately.

"Hey! Hiss!"

The strange voice suddenly increased its volume, which was very ear-piercing.

Mo Yunxuan, who was still following behind, also seemed to smell something dangerous.

"They may be in trouble ahead." Mo Yunxuan said lightly.

"Trouble? How do you know?" Cheng Xiuyuan looked into the cave, and seemed to hear some strange sounds.

A gunshot broke the silence in the cave.

"Something really happened!" Cheng Xiuyuan looked at Mo Yunxuan nervously.

"The gunshots have finally begun." Mo Yunxuan murmured.

Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out one after another.

"Don't worry about it, let's go help them!" Cheng Xiuyuan, who was walking two steps quickly, was pulled back by Mo Yunxuan.

"What? Are you still rushing to die!" Mo Yunxuan felt helpless in the face of the warm-hearted Cheng Xiuyuan, "Ji Houchen and Pei Shang are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they are not so easy to get into trouble."

"Then what shall we do now? To go in or not to go in?"

"Why don't you go in?" Mo Yunxuan gave Cheng Xiuyuan a look, motioning him to look to the edge of the cave, and illuminated him with a lamp.

Cheng Xiuyuan followed Mo Yunxuan's line of sight suspiciously, and he found that there were small stone piles piled up with stones at intervals under the stone wall, which were obviously artificially built.

"There are no such piles of stones outside, but they only appear inside. It seems that this cave is really inhabited." Cheng Xiuyuan said, "I just don't know why these piles of stones appear. Do these piles of stones have any meaning?"

Mo Yunxuan walked towards the stone piles, and found that these stone piles were made of five palm-sized stones, with four stones underneath, and a stone in the center of the four stones.This is true without exception.This cave has a large space and limited light. If you don't pay more attention, it is difficult to find these strange stone piles.

"Some of the ancients built tombs with some stones piled in front of the tomb, and some tombs were simply built with stones. No matter what, these stone piles must have some meaning that we don't know."

Hearing what Mo Yunxuan said, Cheng Xiuyuan thought, the use of these stones you mentioned will probably only appear in poor people!With a piece of loess and a pile of rotten rocks, no high-ranking official would let himself go so shabby.

"I don't know why, but I always feel familiar." Cheng Xiuyuan vaguely felt that these stone piles seemed to have been seen somewhere before, and suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind.

"Your Highness!" Cheng Xiuyuan suddenly realized, and rushed in front of Mo Yunxuan with some excitement, "Take out the map, I know where I have seen these stone piles!"

At this time, Pei Shang and Ji Houchen in the cave are still facing unknown dangers.

One of Ji Houchen's subordinates pointed the gun at the cave that was making strange noises and fired. The black shadows were enraged instantly, swooped out of the cave, and revealed their real bodies in the light.

"It's a bat!"

Everyone did not expect that the thing that has been pretending to be a ghost in the dark is a bat, but this bat is twice the size of an ordinary bat, and it flies very fast and has high agility. It is difficult for people to shoot them down with a gun.

The combined attack power of hundreds of giant bats is very strong, and the lack of light in the cave is more conducive to bat combat.

The ferocious faces of the bats are looming in the swaying lights, and their hissing sounds are particularly ear-piercing in the empty caves. Those yellow eyes stare at everyone's naked/exposed necks, staying in mid-air without stopping. Attack.

The bullets of the pistol/gun will not change the trajectory, so it is difficult to hit the bat, and many people are scratched or even bitten by it.

Pei Shang lowered his voice: "Put the searchlight on the ground and aim the light at the dome! Put away the guns and use a nimble and easy-to-use long knife instead!"

Pei Shang, who has rich combat experience, gave the order, and his subordinates followed suit.

When the light was aimed at the dome, it illuminated the cave to the maximum extent, and the soldiers who switched to long knives quickly mastered the method of combat.

After all, Ji Houchen's guards were also carefully selected. They quickly understood the shortcomings of the pistol/gun, and also took out the machete/mountain/knife, and swiftly slashed at the bats that kept rushing up.

Bats split in half kept appearing on the ground.

Ji Houchen was covered by his subordinates, brought to the edge of the cave, and stood in the darkness, while Pei Shang stood in the light, his brows furrowed tightly, and the long knife he waved was shining coldly.

At this time, the bats have been irritated. Even if all the light sources are turned off, they will not let go of people who break into their territory, so the current light source is very important for people to catch the bats.

Fortunately, there were not many of these bats, and their larger size was also beneficial for everyone to hack and kill. After half an hour, the manic bats were almost wiped out, and only a few remnants flew back into the small cave.
