I swallowed and said with some difficulty: "Below, what is below?"
Yu Wenying squinted her eyes and wanted to see clearly, but in fact it was very difficult, because the stone chamber in front of her was too huge, and the fire could hardly shine and could not reflect it. The void only absorbed the light.
He said, "We have to go on."
"Go down?"
I tried not to show myself too ugly, but my fear still made my voice full of trembling and hesitation. Yu Wenying looked back at me and said, "Ms. Yan can wait here."
At this time, he didn't force me.
After saying that, he had handed the torch in his hand to me, and then said, "You know that this road is not dangerous. If you are worried, you can go back."
The flames fluttered, flashing as both of us eyes flashed. I took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Yuwen was joking, and they had already come to this place. If I turn around, where will my face be put?"
He smiled without surprise when he heard me say this.
I also knew that he was still calculating me, and at this time he was too lazy to care about him. He just looked down and the silver lights that looked a little dim were becoming more and more uneasy. I said, "But, how do we go?"
Yu Wenying said: "Since someone sets up a formation here, there will naturally be a way to go back."
After he finished speaking, he slowly squatted down, poked the torch down, and immediately said, "Look."
I looked over and saw that there was a very narrow and inconspicuous stone step under our feet. Although it was a stone step, the place where we landed was probably the size of a sole of a foot. It should have been made according to the mountain. If we didn't look carefully, we couldn't see it at all.
Moreover, over the years, due to the soaking of lake water, the stones in some places have become very loose.
I hesitated, "Can this go on?"
Yu Wenying said: "I have arrived here, can I turn back?"
“…”
This person didn't say much, but a word was like a nail. I thought about it and then took a step forward. When he saw that I actually moved first, he immediately said, "You——"
I said, "There is only one torch, and the distance between the two of us cannot be too far away."
“…”
"I can't walk on such a terrain while holding a torch, so you can take the torch by Mr. Yuwen."
“…That’s certain.”
"I'll go first, you'll light me up."
He was stunned, probably not expecting that I would accept everything so quickly and start acting. In fact, I knew very well that I could not turn back anymore. So why not just take advantage of the strength now and work hard to the end.
Yu Wenying looked at me, with a look of appreciation in her eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
So, we divided the work and cooperated in this way.
I walked slowly down the narrow stone steps. He held the torch to light me, while slowly walking down according to the number of steps I had walked.
After I took down more than a dozen steps, I looked up and could no longer see the hole. The torch in Yu Wenying's hand was only enough to illuminate the distance several meters around, and the two of them were completely hung on the mountain wall.
This situation is a bit like when I came down from Tianzi Peak, but at that time there was at least one rope, but now there is nothing to rely on.
Cold sweat fell from the forehead drop by drop.
Just as I stepped out, I didn't expect that there was a stone on the stone steps below. My toes slid up and fell down.
"ah--!"
I let out a scream of horror, but at this moment, Yu Wenying suddenly reached out and grabbed me.
Although he grabbed me, in order to prevent me from falling down, his other hand also climbed on a stone step above his head. However, when his hand slipped, the torch fell off his hand.
"Oops!"
I shouted, and could only watch the torch fall from my eyes.
The fire suddenly disappeared from our eyes.
At this time, my breathing and heartbeat were so heavy that it almost crushed my body. The sudden darkness made me feel an unprecedented despair. I was pulled back to my original position by Yu Wenying. My two almost stiff hands grabbed the stone steps above my head with force, stabilizing my body.
I immediately said, "What should I do?"
“…”
"Without the fire, we can't get up even if we go down!"
Yu Wenying was silent for a moment and said, "That may not be."
"ah?"
I looked up at him, in the darkness, I couldn't even see his figure close to me.
Only he could hear his voice still calmly and sounded in the darkness: "Look below."
under?
Because of fear, I only dared to look at the distance below my feet as I walked down the road. It was because the fire could not shine too far, let alone the lower one. At this time, when he said this, I slowly turned my head and looked down.
Suddenly, I was so surprised that my breath was suffocated.
The torch fell down just now and did not go out. Instead, it seemed to be stuck in something and was still burning.
The fire illuminated the surrounding area, and the silver light that had been flashing faintly before was even more dazzling at this time.
I didn't blink my eyes: "What is that?"
Yu Wenying said: "You will know if you go down."
"……Um."
"But be careful this time. Without the torch, you are underneath again. If there is another time, I can't catch you."
"Um!"
I have reached this point and there is really no way out. Even if a trace of regret flashed through my heart, I shouldn’t have done anything else when I was so close to Miaoyan. At least, I should have seen her first, but as soon as such a thought came out, I gritted my teeth and left it behind.
At this time, going down, figuring out everything, and going out alive is the most important thing!
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and slowly poked down. This time, there was no torch lighting, so I could only rely on my intuition to take a step down and then slowly climb down.
I don’t know if it’s over, we finally gradually approach the bottom.
And the faint fire light shining by the torch finally illuminated my surroundings.
When I looked down again, the silver light was already very dazzling. I even had the illusion that there was a galaxy below. However, the torch was about to burn out. If I didn't get faster, there would be no way out.
Thinking of this, I grabbed the protruding place on the stone wall and climbed down even harder.
When I climbed through the first step, I reached out and grabbed something protruding on the stone wall. After subconsciously fumbled for a while, Yu Wenying said, "What?"
“It seems like there is a—”
"What? Be careful!"
I groped for a long time and confirmed that it was a piece of wood: "It was a piece of wood, it seemed like a torch, and it was already very decay."
"oh?"
He was silent for a moment and said, "I have been soaking in the water for so many years, but it has not been soaked. God has left it for us. Let's go ahead and talk about it first."
"Um."
I let go of the torch, took two more steps down, and unexpectedly stepped on something that was both hard and somewhat soft.
Moreover, when you step on your feet, you will make a creaking sound.
The touch and sound made me numb all over. At this time, Yu Wenying had already seen that I stepped onto the ground. He jumped down from the top of my head and suddenly fell down.
I hurriedly walked down.
The touch of the soles of my feet made me feel a little unsteady, so I could only reach out to support the cold stone wall next to me. Yu Wenying had already taken two steps in three steps and rushed over to pick up the torch on the ground.
The torch is almost burning out, and if it is really extinguished, it will be difficult for us to see the light again.
After Yu Wenying got the torch, she did not rush to see what was around her. Instead, she rushed to the torch I had just found out and lit it with the last bit of flame in her hand. Only then did I see that the flame on the torch in his hand had almost burned to his hand, but in order to ignite the torch beside him, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Finally, the torch on the stone wall was lit.
He threw away the last piece of wood in his hand, and heard a clanging sound, the flame hit the ground, and countless sparks emerged. The flames on the torch on the stone wall rose, illuminating the surroundings.
At this time, I finally saw what was on the ground clearly.
This is from the same place - chain mail!
I thought I had read it wrong or had hallucinations, but under the rising fire, I knew that this could not be fake.
This is the cruelest truth.
What we were stepping on was chain mail, which was shining silver and piled up all over the ground. There were some chain mails and dead bones inside them!
No wonder I saw a silver light below just now.
I couldn't speak, and my throat seemed to be choked. The horror I had when I saw the skeleton for the first time just now turned into vanishing. Even though the dead bones on the ground are now full of dry bones, I can no longer feel any horror. The only feeling in my heart is desolation.
Longxi Army, I finally saw the Longxi Army that once guarded the northwest and was invincible, but I didn't expect that I could see it in this way.
I looked up at him, and when I spoke again, my voice was also a little sensual.
"Mr. Yuwen."
Instead of speaking, he pulled out a cloth belt from his arms and wrapped it around his burned hand, then walked over and pulled out the torch from the stone wall, walked along the stone wall for a while, found another torch and continued to light it.
After a while, more than a dozen torches around were lit.
