Chapter 150: Check in, ask for a monthly ticket for the nine-story demon tower]
After being reminded by Hu Bayi, everyone remembered the devil-like ladybug again, and was frightened for a moment, and no one spoke for a long time.
Li Kuiyong suddenly asked:
"Lao Hu, have you never heard of the Dapu ghost insect?"
Hu Bayi said in confusion:
"Kuiyong, we haven't seen each other before, why do you always think I know a lot of things?"
Li Kuiyong smiled and said:
"Nothing else, you kid looks like a tomb robber!"
Hu Bayi moved his heart and pretended to be angry:
"Get out of here, you only look like a tomb robber on your horse!"
They were making jokes here, and everyone gradually felt relaxed. They shared Li Kuiyong's two bags of compressed biscuits, gathered together, and discussed what to do next.
Luo Ning said affirmatively:
"Now, it is impossible to get out of the valley that is crushed by snowboards. I guess the entire valley may have been filled by an avalanche, so I can only find another exit now."
The instructor nodded and said softly:
"Check the equipment and let's find another way!"
Gawa patted the empty bullet bag on his body, indicating that there were not many bullets.
Most of the equipment was left in the base camp outside the Glacier. Each team had only about twenty bullets left, and there were still two grenades in total, and there was no dry food at all. The two bags I just ate were already the last supper.
When escaping, everyone threw away everything they could, and dry food was in the list.
Of course, except for Li Kuiyong, he always has surprises.
You must find a way to find an exit within two days, otherwise you will starve to death here!
The blessing in disgrace is:
Luo Ning actually carried a pressure gauge and a compass on her body!
The depth of the mountain gap was beyond imagination. After walking south for a while, it reached the end. The cracks in the earth flipped north, feeling like they were walking below the large glacier.
The team walked forward in the dark for more than ten hours. The more they walked, the lower the terrain became, and the underground space became larger and larger. Luoning measured it with a pressure gauge. The data of air pressure was converted into an altitude, which was only more than 400 meters, which was similar to Sichuan, and far lower than the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which was more than 4,000 meters above average altitude.
If you continue like this, you will probably reach the center of the earth.
Finally, the terrain finally calmed down, and the sound of water flowing in my ears seemed to be a big underground river not far away. Hu Bayi looked around with a flashlight, trying to see if there was any way to go up, but suddenly he found that the light shining from the flashlight produced many faint reflections on the rock wall, as if it was reflected on countless pieces of mirrors.
Luo Ning exclaimed: "It's mica!"
Li Kuiyong was nothing. The other three people heard her mother and didn't know what it was, but they were frightened when they heard her tone. They thought there was something urgent, so they hurriedly blocked Luo Ning behind them, took off the five- and six-type semi-automatic rifle from their backs as fast as possible, pulled the bolt off a few times, and prepared to shoot.
Luoningqi said:
"What are you doing?"
Hu Bayi asked Luo Ning while holding a gun on guard:
"What mother and male? Where?"
Luo Ning chuckled:
"Not an animal, I mean there are crystals around it. Mica and crystal usually grow in the same strata. Ah, there are indeed crystals."
The mica here is extremely dark in color, with a large hexagonal column shape, and its quality is far greater than that produced in the mainland. Judging from the depth of the mica color, the position of the team is unimaginable.
Luo Ning was attracted by the rare large mica around him. He looked at this and that one. At this time, he suddenly heard Hu Bayi and Gawa shout:
"Gawa, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Everyone looked back at the flashlight and saw Ga Wa kowtowing on the ground in the form of a Tibetan, lying on the ground.
What is this kid doing? Who are you kowtowing to?
The flashlight swept toward Gawa, and everyone was stunned.
Not far away, there was a "gold"-shaped wooden tower made of thousands of giant trees. There were countless red flashes on the tower. Looking at the faint flashes, the base of the wooden tower was nearly two hundred meters wide and was built with mud and stone.
Thousand-year-old cypress wood is built into the tower, which is divided into nine layers. Each layer is filled with dry bones in strange ancient costumes, both men, women, and young and old. Each large tree is engraved with Tibetan secret texts.
Luo Ning said in a trembling voice:
"Is this a grave? It's so huge, who built it underground?"
Hu Bayi shook his head and continued to ask Gawa:
"What kind of tower is this? Do you know the words written on it?"
Gawa kept shook his head.
Hu Bayi:
"This kid, don't know you, why are you kowtowing? Seeing so many corpses, you are silly?"
Gawa's face was full of panic, and he said it in less fluent Chinese:
"Hu, this Ga Xiong, let you talk about it, let's go, Larrados, nine...nine-story demon building."
No one understood the first half of his sentence, but the last four words can be heard clearly-
Nine-story demon building!
Hu Bayi asked:
"What nine-story demon building is used for? Are people buried dead?"
Luo Ning had already bypassed everyone and quietly approached the tower. Li Kuiyong shook his head and followed. This girl was sometimes timid and sometimes stupid and bold. I really don’t know why she grew up so old?
After walking for a while, the tower became clearer and clearer. Luo Ning suddenly trembled all over. Li Kuiyong quickly covered her mouth, pulled her and tiptoed back, and made a gesture to everyone that he would not make any noise.
The instructor looked at Luo Ning in confusion, and the latter pointed to the tower behind him and whispered:
"Don't make a sound, alarm them."
Seeing that she looked solemn, the instructor knew that there might be something wrong, but he didn't know what she was referring to, so he lowered his voice and asked:
"What alarmed? The dead people in the tower?"
Luo Ning said extremely nervously:
"It's not a dead person, it's the kind of Dapu ghost worms with fire before. They all sleep on dead bodies, so many of them are countless..."
Everyone looked at the dense red flashes on the wooden tower. Obviously, there were countless ghost insects. Although they couldn't see clearly, they thought of the miserable situations of the two scapegoats before, and their hair stood up all over their bodies.
The instructor made a gesture, and the group quietly retreated along the way. Li Kuiyong used a flashlight, and the dim lights were scattered on the ground, whispering:
"Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, Ga Wa, who was walking in front, suddenly stepped on the air and fell down. Fortunately, Li Kuiyong's attention was on him, so he grabbed the rope on his waist and lifted it back.
When the three flashlights shone down, they found that it was a ditch more than one meter deep. Although it was not deep, it was very hidden and parallel to the route of the team. So no one noticed it when they came.
Under the light of the flashlight, the ditch is covered with layers of various animal bones. The number is too large to estimate. It seems that this ditch should be a burial pit of animals such as cows, horses, sheep, and dogs.
Since all the cards have been played, going out alive is a victory. Li Kuiyong poked Hu Bayi with his elbow:
Chapter completed!
