Chapter 17 The Endless Staircase

In the pitch-black cave, several people walked closely together and moved forward slowly. With the faint and soft light emitted by the moonstone, they could tell whether there were any obstacles on the road ahead.

"careful!"

Zhao Tiechui, who was walking at the front, suddenly spoke up and stopped the people behind him.

It turned out that a spiral downward staircase suddenly appeared in front of him.

I carefully illuminated it with a moonstone, but I could only see a few steps.

Looking further down, it was pitch black, with a whistling wind blowing, and it seemed as if the depth was bottomless.

A huge and dark sense of oppression also swept over, making several people shudder and make the hair stand on end.

The only woman, Muxue, even screamed.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, it's just a little darker."

Zhao Tiechui tried his best to calm down and comfort a few people, but his eyes never left the steps, and he was obviously extremely nervous.

"Regiment...leader, you...you...tell me where is the place down here."

Mo Li broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes were misty, his mind was confused, and he began to stutter when he spoke.

For a mercenary who often licks blood from the edge of a knife, death is not terrible, but this fear of "I am in the light, it is in the dark" will make them feel unusually timid.

Tombs, stone chambers, dark passages, spiraling downward to the bottomless steps.

Putting these scattered things together, there is no doubt that they all give people a mysterious and dangerous hint.

Not to mention Mo Li, even Lin Fan, who had seen ghosts and had dealings with the Ghost Emperor of Huangquan, could not help but feel frightened at this time.

Mr. Li has not said a word since he discovered this place. He has been lowering his head and meditating. At this time, seeing several people looking frightened, he also shook his head: "Don't be afraid, this is just a tomb passage that slopes downward."

, below is the main tomb chamber.”

After saying this, Mr. Li took the lead and walked up the steps without waiting for anyone's reaction, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

"How can a majestic seven-foot man be so afraid? I will go down too.

If you are afraid, just wait for me here."

Zhao Tiechui gritted his teeth and walked up the steps.

Seeing this, Mo Li quickly followed and shouted: "Captain, wait for me."

Not long after, their backs were also submerged in darkness.

At this point, there are only three newcomers left at the entrance of the stairs.

"I'll just wait here for the leader, you can do whatever you want."

Shaogang was the first to speak out. After speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps away, with a subtle hint of insidiousness and cunning revealed in the corners of his eyes.

"Miss Mu, go down and try?"

Lin Fan ignored Shaogang at all, but looked at the steps, looking eager to try. After all, there might be something he needed down there.

Hearing this, Muxue turned her head and glanced tremblingly, then trembled, "I...I...are scared."

"Fear?

Can Miss Mu lend me a moonstone? I'll go down and have a look."

Lin Fan really wanted to go on, but there was nothing that could be used for lighting, so he had to ask Muxue to talk.

This girl can come up with pills to save people, so a moonstone shouldn't be a problem. After all, her identity is different.

However, this insignificant thing in Lin Fan's opinion made Muxue hesitate, "If Lin Fan goes down, he and Shaogang will be the only ones left here.

Although Shaogang rarely speaks, you can still tell that he is not a good person, so what should we do?"

There are unknown dangers on one side and known bad guys on the other. It seems hard to choose no matter what.

When Muxue hesitated, Shaogang, who was not far away, suddenly walked over with a sneer on his face, took out a moonstone and handed it to Lin Fan, "I'll give you a moonstone. You go ahead. You don't have to pay it back."

Shaogang's voice interrupted Muxue's meditation.

"Thanks!"

With a smile on his face, Lin Fan reached out to take the moonstone, then turned to look at Muxue and asked, "Have you considered it? Do you really not want to go down?"

Muxue bit her lip, still hesitant.

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards the steps, not intending to wait for Muxue to reply.

That Shaogang didn't look like a good person at first glance. If Muxue stayed here, he would probably be bullied.

A girl who randomly gives away pills to others doesn’t even understand the concept of keeping her wealth private!

Moreover, he is very good-looking and has a good figure. This is a naked temptation for anyone with bad intentions.

However, even if Lin Fan wanted to help him, he had to be willing to do so.

"Wait, I...I'll go with you."

Lin Fan had just stepped up the stairs with one foot when Muxue's voice came from behind him.

"This girl is not stupid at all!"

With a secret compliment in his heart, Lin Fan turned around with a smile: "Aren't you scared?"

"Who...who said that? I'm not afraid."

"Then who said you were scared just now?"

"I don't know, it's not me anyway, huh!"

"hehe......"

Seeing the two people gradually disappearing from sight, the smile on Shaogang's face gradually faded, and his eyes became fierce. As he strode towards the direction of the stone chamber, he thought to himself, "Everyone seems to be really real."

Don't be afraid of death. I wonder if you will still be able to laugh after you find out that I have taken away all the loot.

It's a pity that Muxue has good looks and figure, but she is also a little rich woman who carries pills with her.

If she didn't go with that guy named Lin Fan, it would be a really good harvest today, hahaha..."

.........

On the steps, although Lin Fan felt that he was walking very fast, he still did not find Zhao Tiechui and the others.

Moreover, the steps seemed endless. After walking for at least fifteen minutes, the place where I entered was still dark.

The further he went down, the more strange Lin Fan felt: "I have been walking down for almost fifteen minutes. Even if I go down twenty meters in one minute, I have already reached about three hundred meters underground.

It is impossible for someone to build his tomb three hundred meters underground and not reach the end of the steps yet.

Therefore, this is not an ancient tomb.

So what exactly is this place?

And why is there such a long staircase?

Where does this staircase lead to?"

A series of question marks appeared in Lin Fan's mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Lin Fan, why don't you leave?"

Muxue's voice came from behind, awakening Lin Fan.

"Miss Muxue, do you think this place is a little strange?"

"strangeness?"

Muxue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head with a thoughtful expression.

Hearing what Lin Fan said, she really felt that it was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it.

Just when the two of them were confused, their eyes suddenly brightened.

It can be clearly seen that under the few steps, there is actually a stone room.

In the stone chamber, there are countless gold and silver vessels, pearls and gems piled up like a small mountain.

Mo Li was crazily stuffing gold coins into his arms.

Zhao Tiechui was holding a long knife made of jade and was mesmerized.

The source of the bright light is the huge luminous pearl held by Mr. Li.
