304 Chapter Twenty-One Section Four
304 Chapter 21 Section 4
After the introduction, Zhu Yinxi asked them again if they had eaten or not, and that it was difficult to do trivial matters such as snow on the road. Most of the questions were answered by Yang Chenluo. She said that she ate dry food on the road, and the snow on the road was too deep, so she was delayed a lot of time, so she didn't come until now.
At this time, Xu Xiaoliu said, "It's not too late, why don't we go to the valley to take a look? Don't forget that there are still seven people below who are still in the dark!"
Zhu Yinxi nodded and said, "After that being said, hasn't Wang Daxian been back yet? Aren't we waiting for him?"
Without waiting for Xu Xiaoliu to answer, Liu Ping smiled and said, "I guess Wang Daxian has arrived there now. We don't need to wait, just chase after him."
"What?" Before Liu Ping could finish her words, she heard everyone in the room shouting in surprise: "He...has he gone by himself?"
Liu Ping nodded.
Yang Chenluo frowned and said, "How could you ask him to go to such a dangerous place alone? The situation in the valley is still unknown. Seven people went in and couldn't come out. Wouldn't he go alone... This is really a waste of time."
However, Liu Ping was not worried about Wang Changgui at all. With his ability, although he could not say that he could eliminate the dirty things at the bottom of the valley with his own strength, he had no problem protecting himself. He saw that everyone was worried and didn't say much, so he had to speak: "It's getting late, so let's hurry up and hurry up, maybe he can catch up with Wang Daxian."
Everyone in the room nodded, and then saw Zhu Yinxi walking to the two large wooden boxes leaning against the corner of the wall. After opening the lock, he took out some things from it. It turned out to be various tools, weapons, flashlights, daggers, ropes, and even pistols, as well as bottles and jars that were filled with unknown things.
After sending these things to everyone one by one, a group of people hurriedly set off. These things did not do much to Liu Ping, so she didn't take anything, and she was still carrying her own small cloth bag. In addition, Xu Xiaoliu didn't take anything either, but he also brought a tool box, which must have been prepared earlier.
The valley they wanted to go to was only seven or eight miles away from the village. Although the snow and freezing on the road were quite hard to walk, they seemed to be thinking about Wang Changgui's comfort, so they all accelerated their pace. No one spoke during this period. It was not until they vaguely looked at the destination that Zhu Yinxi stopped and turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, the things in this valley are different from what everyone has seen before. After entering a while, don't move around and follow the team. No matter what happens, we will follow Mr. Xu's instructions. What's going on? Do you have no objection?"
Just as everyone nodded, Xu Xiaoliu waved his hands and said, "This is not possible. No matter what aspect, Sister Liu Ping is more than a hundred times better than me. This time she should be led by the team."
When others heard this, they all cast a surprise look at Liu Ping. It would be fine if Xu Xiaoliu made a name in the tomb robbery world in the past two years, and these people were willing to listen to his orders because of his reputation. However, Liu Ping, an unknown rural woman, even though she looked handsome, asked her to lead the team at this moment, so these strangers naturally had some doubts.
But just now, Zhu Yinxi said, "Since that's the case, then as Mr. Xu said, I will let Sister Liu lead the team this time. Each of us must listen to her, and no one is allowed to act alone!"
Since Zhu Yinxi said this, even though the others questioned it, they did not say anything and agreed. At first, Liu Ping wanted to refuse, but then she thought that the strength of these people was hard to say, and she was not familiar with their temperament, so it would be easier to do it according to her own wishes. Besides, when she went to those dangerous places with Wang Changgui and Xu Yunde in the past, there was no saying that she would lead the team or not. She would understand who would come to know what she would do, or discuss anything, but if these people in the organization had many rules and regulations, and when they really encountered something, they would be indecisive and difficult to decide, it would be no joke!
So Liu Ping nodded and agreed, and then walked into the valley first. Seeing this, the rest of the people had their own thoughts, but they followed closely, forming a column, and walked in one after another. Xiaoliu followed Liu Ping, and Yang Chenxi was ranked third, followed by his sister, and the next three were Wu Dong, Hong Xi, and Zhu Yinxi.
The weather was clear that night, and the moon was as cold as frost in the sky. Although there was no wind, it was extremely cold. As soon as I walked to the valley, the path was blocked by thick snow that was not deep. From this, it seemed that few people must have come to this valley.
At this time, Liu Ping suddenly saw a row of new footprints in front of her feet. She was delighted and said, "This should probably be left by Wang Daxian. It seems that he has gone to explore the way first as I expected."
At this time, Xu Xiaoliu, who was walking behind Liu Ping, saw that she heard it and thought she had encountered something. She hurriedly turned sideways and looked forward with a flashlight. After seeing a row of footprints in the thick snow on the ground, she said happily: "Sister Liu, this should be left by Wang Daxian? We just need to follow his footprints and we will probably meet with him."
Liu Ping nodded without answering, but simply said: "Hurry on the way."
Then the seven people in the group followed Wang Changgui's footprints. Although the moon was very bright in the sky, and the surroundings were covered with snow and reflected heavily, the road under their feet was not difficult to walk. In order to save electricity, the group of people following Liu Ping did not turn on the flashlight, and only some unsightly places were shining.
After walking less than half a mile, the footprint suddenly disappeared! Instead, it was a cave entrance. Liu Ping stopped near the entrance and turned around and asked, "Brother Zhu, did your people dig out the entrance of the cave here?"
Zhu Yinxi looked around for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, this hole should have been dug by those seven comrades when it was not snowing a few days ago."
Liu Ping nodded and said, "You were there that day? Then why didn't you go with them?"
Zhu Yinxi heard this and said a little embarrassedly: "When... I had other tasks that day, so I couldn't go in with them. Later, I saw that they hadn't come out for many days, so I just..."
After hearing this, Liu Ping had guessed the rough spot and did not ask any further. She leaned into the hole and crawled into the hole. When the others saw this, they were shocked. Xu Xiaoliu hurriedly followed him and turned on the flashlight at the same time to illuminate the road ahead for Liu Ping, saying, "Sister Liu, the cave is too dark, why do you say you can enter!"
After hearing what Xiaoliu said, Liu Ping suddenly remembered many years ago, when Xu Yunde entered the secret cave of mummy in Yuma Mountain with Xu Yunde. Xu Yunde also said similar things. Thinking of this, she felt sad again, and then said, "Xiaoliu, don't worry, your corpse king brother and Wang Daxian are all born to have night vision, so we can see everything in this cave clearly without flashlight."
After hearing this, not only Xu Xiaoliu, but also the group of people behind him were secretly shocked. You should know that the natural night vision is not one of them. This kind of person not only has excellent eyesight, but also can see the things around him like a beast even on the dark night without stars and moons. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to such a person even if he compares it to being specially born for tomb robbers.
As everyone entered the cave one after another, they felt that the temperature below the ground was much warmer than outside, but the corridor was very narrow, which was many times worse than Xu Yunde's skill in digging holes. Liu Ping, who was walking in the front, took the road for everyone, while carefully observing the surroundings to see if she could find some clues left by Wang Changgui. Because she knew that if the legend was true, the burned ruins of the big house were buried by a landslide, so there would definitely be no openness underground, let alone a cave that could accommodate them. Therefore, if the seven people and Wang Changgui were still inside, they would definitely be able to find them along the corridor.
As he thought about this, Liu Ping and everyone had walked more than a hundred meters in the middle of his mind, but the road ahead still had no end. Not to mention those seven people, even Wang Changgui seemed to have lost his trace, which made Liu Ping feel a little strange.
Finally, after not much further in, the man named Wu Dong was a little anxious, and he said, "How could this hole be so deep?"
Before Liu Ping could reply, Xu Xiaoliu, who was behind him, answered: "From me, this hole is not deep. Didn't you notice that the slope here is very small? I believe that the comrades who dug the holes also heard the legend that if this place was really buried by a landslide, the geology would definitely not be too stable. Therefore, if the holes were drilled vertically, the risk of collapse would be very likely. In contrast, it would be much safer to dig such a horizontal 'bang' in this situation."
As she was talking, Liu Ping, who was in the forefront, suddenly accelerated her pace. She hurriedly ran to the front and stopped in front of a human-shaped thing. Because Xu Xiaoliu and others had poor eyesight and could not see clearly from too far away, they all hurriedly followed him after seeing this. After getting closer, she took a flashlight and found that it was really a corpse!
"Xiao Liu!" After Zhu Yinxi saw the man's appearance clearly, she shouted in a lost voice, then pounced on her head, picked up Xiao Liu's already cold body, and cried, "Comrade Xiao Liu, you...you..." But it was "you" for a long time, but "you" didn't show it.
Seeing that he looked miserable, Liu Ping seemed to have a good relationship with him during his lifetime, shook her head and sighed: "Brother Zhu, don't be sad for now. Xiao Liu is dead. The most important thing is to find out the cause of his death first, and go in and see if there are still no survivors!"
