endless route.

Chapter 24 24. Underworld Attic

It was fourteen o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel, and the two of them hadn't eaten much all day. Fortunately, there was still a lot of food in the hotel, so they dug it out to fill their stomachs.

Waited about an hour.

With their headlights on, three cars came from the dark town entrance and stopped in front of their hotel window.

Hu Ruihua got out of the car and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zheng Yun, fearing that he and Song Wan would also disappear.

Zheng Yun went out to meet him.

"I got the location of the off-road vehicle from the car rental company, but there is only an approximate range. The support has been contacted, but it will take two days at the earliest."

Hu Ruihua spoke very fast, and then pointed back to the two off-road vehicles behind him: "So I hired seven people temporarily, and we can go to the town to find people."

Zheng Yun looked at the two cars.

The car is a white pickup truck, estimated to have a history of 20 years. The whole car is full of potholes and war damage. A group of dark-colored guys got out of the car. The same black buddies held weapons that were the same age as the car.

These black buddies wear turbans on their heads, loose clothes of all kinds, bullet belts hanging on their swarthy chests, talking and doing loosely around, but the muzzles of the guns in their hands are all black.

"Where did you find this?"

Zheng Yun was taken aback for a moment, Hu Ruihua's version was still about going to the town to find someone, the purpose of going out this time was to find support, and he did find it.

But the problem is.

Why do these people look like rebels? They can't be rebels somewhere, right?

"There is only one road for the fruit to go in and out. There are thousands of kilometers in the deep mountains and old forests. They maintain the law and order on this section of the road. I saw them halfway, stopped and asked. After the price was agreed, they all came."

Hu Ruihua roughly explained.

"Isn't that the bandit who collected the toll?" Zheng Yun was at a loss for words for a while, but Hu Ruihua really had a knack for such a person who could be recruited from the mountains.

"No way, where to find people in the deep mountains and old forests, you are lucky to meet them, how is the situation? Go to the town now?" Hu Ruihua also shook his head and sighed.

Zheng Yun gave him a general account of the situation, from the fairy guesses deduced in the local language, to the process of entering the town and the porcelain vases in the early Ming Dynasty, all the important things were said.

Even Yin Bing's statement was based on the excuse that he had heard similar stories before, saying that he guessed it himself.

"Then let's go directly into the cave? I'm really prepared for this. I asked them to take two inflatable kayaks, but they are small and can only accommodate two people."

Hu Ruihua pointed behind him, he had been thinking about this all the time, Damona passed the cave inexplicably, and guessed at that time that they probably had to pass too.

"Then let's go straight away. The cave is underground. It's the same day and night, but you have to make some preparations before that." Zheng Yun nodded.

I don't have much time for myself.

If they can leave early, they can go as early as possible. If they stay up until tomorrow morning, he won't be able to bear it by himself.

He had asked in the town before that the source of the gold rush river flowed from the mountains, and it was an underground karst cave when it got into it. They could just go to the abandoned mine.

It's also easy to prepare.

Zheng Yun asked Hu Ruihua to take his black buddies to get a few oil barrels to fill up the oil belt, and then see if he could buy or make a torch by himself, while he took Song Wan to knock on the door of a small shop in the town to buy cigarettes.

He didn't expect Hu Ruihua to bring back so many people. In order to prevent them from being 'infected' by himself, or turning into evil soldiers after entering the cave, he had to prepare to light cigarettes.

The two spent a lot of money, opening a box, the small shop was almost empty out of stock, and the boss also said that Song Wan was addicted to cigarettes, and she didn't stop smoking one by one.

Zheng Yun thought to himself, can you buy more, this thing must be one after another, each of the seven black buddies has to carry two, it is more important than bullets.

ten minutes later.

The two teams rejoined.

"These people are going to be brought into the cave too?" Hu Ruihua leaned beside Zheng Yun and asked, he knew the quality of the people he hired himself.

It's okay to attack people, but if it's related to fairy monsters, it's good that these people don't hold back.

"The money is spent, bring it."

Zheng Yun nodded, the same sentence, all the troops sent by the imperial court were wiped out, the Yin soldiers in the cave are definitely not simple, don't expect these black buddies to fight the Yin soldiers, as long as the weapons in their hands are good.

Just a few words.

A group of people drove on the road.

After walking this road so many times, Zheng Yun knew where there were pits, so he drove very fast.

The black buddies behind him drove very wildly, regardless of whether there were pits or not, he just stepped on the accelerator to the end, and when he encountered a few deep potholes, the car almost fell apart.

"Brother Zheng, can they really do it?" Song Wan looked at the situation behind and couldn't help asking.

Zheng Yun glanced at the rearview mirror.

Apart from other things, at least these buddies don't take money for nothing, they work very hard, and this energy is good.

ten minutes later.

The three vehicles passed through the town of La Maine and went up the mountain road. Looking down from the side, they could still see familiar faces in front of the campfire, and the other party could also see the convoy.

The group of people did not stop, and drove to the abandoned mine in one go. Zheng Yun took Song Wan out of the car, opened the trunk, and carried the bag with the black jade pillow on its back.

Hu Ruihua went with the black buddies, told them the general situation, and covered his head when he got out of the car.

The leader of the black buddies was called Jack. He took the black buddies out of the car, put on the equipment, and rectified the discipline, standing in a row with high and low.

"I added some more money to them, and I asked Jack to tell him that he can speak English." Hu Ruihua walked to Zheng Yun's side while holding his forehead, and probably knocked him.

This time he paid for it.

These black buddies seem to be here to make fun of it, but they are absolutely unambiguous in their actions. Arming in such a disorderly place, it is impossible not to have blood on their hands.

And this person has no faith.

They don't believe in gods and gods at all, neither in the East nor in the West. They only recognize money, and as long as they give money, they dare to shoot at God.

I don't know how much Hu Ruihua spent to hire these people, but it is probably indispensable. If there is less, people like them cannot work hard.

Zheng Yun started to smoke. He only had a few requests, and he kept his cigarettes out of his mouth. He should follow them closely when going down the mine, ask before shooting, and don't shoot indiscriminately.

A few minutes later, a group of black buddies were ready to go, armed with weapons and equipment, and followed Zheng Yun and the three into the mine tunnel one by one, heading for the depths.

They were all smoking.

Still holding the torch in his hand.

Ten people walked together, the abandoned mine was brightly illuminated, just like in broad daylight, the black buddies muttered and laughed, and the atmosphere was like an outing.

Not long after they reached the depths, Zheng Yun made another request, all the corpses scattered on the ground had their legs tied up with bandages to prevent resurrection.

Jack conveyed Zheng Yun's request to others, and a group of people laughed a few times, talking and laughing, and took out the straps, as if tying the corpse was like tying a cow or sheep.

Zheng Yun and Hu Ruihua originally planned to fight together, but this group of gangsters didn't treat the corpses as human beings at all, and pulled them out of the pile of corpses every few seconds.

Song Wan could understand what they said.

She whispered to Zheng Yun that they laughed at Zheng Yun just now, saying how the dead could be resurrected.

Zheng Yun also laughed, it doesn't matter if he gets ridiculed twice, as long as they help out.

He also hoped that the journey would be safe and sound, but he was afraid that some old ancestor would make a move and teach these ignorant long-term lessons.

A group of people still walked the old way.

Go down the iron stairs of the karst cave, and go down to the seventh floor in one breath, with the white mist underground river under your feet.

The black buddies began to pump up the inflatable kayak. The kayak was very small and could accommodate two people at a time. Zheng Yun planned to get on the inflatable kayak first and go over to see the situation.

When they put the kayak into the water, they found that the kayak was blocked by something, and there was a row of stone piers under the white mist, extending all the way upstream.

There is indeed a secret passage in this place.

Last time they didn't find this secret passage, they were lucky by mistake, if they had gone up then, they probably would have become Yin soldiers and couldn't get out now.

Use a torch to disperse the white mist.

The stone piers appeared immediately, with an interval of 1.1 meters. The area was not small. They could still see the river flowing under the fog, but there was no sound of water.

"This is probably a man-made waterway. The water flow is so calm, it cannot be natural."

Hu Ruihua looked towards the edge of the cave, the walls above and below the waterline were as smooth as new, the curves were extremely natural and silky, and there was no splash of water at the corners.

Zheng Yun's expression was solemn.

The better the details, the more it proves that this place is dangerous, and it's hard to say what's ahead.

Hu Ruihua and a few black buddies went down first, and Zheng Yun led Song Wan walking in the middle, as if walking in the fog. The footsteps of several people and black brothers chatting and laughing echoed in the valley, and they finally reached the depth after a thousand meters .

Finally, the sound of water came from ahead.

A cliff waterfall appeared in front of my eyes, but there were two iron stairs next to it. At first glance, it was dismantled from the abandoned mine and moved here to be used as stairs.

Zheng Yun told them to be more cautious. After confirming that the stairs were safe, a group of people climbed up the stairs with torches and entered the second section of the Rift Valley cave.

The front is wider and bigger.

The torches of a group of people can only illuminate the surroundings, except for the wall beside them, there is a layer of darkness in other directions, and only the land on the other side of the river can be seen.

Several people stepped on the stone pier and walked to the opposite side. The stone ground under their feet was very flat, with traces of digging.

Zheng Yun looked sideways to the front left, the attic in his dream seemed to be there, he even felt that he had already seen the attic, only separated by a layer of darkness.

The torch is not bright enough.

Zheng Yun turned on the flashlight and took a look there. A few hundred meters away from them, there was indeed a building embedded in the high place of the cave.

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

They all called the phone.

Just like the practice of grottoes, a hole is abruptly dug out at a height of nearly 40 meters from the ground, and an attic sits in the hole hanging in the air.

Taking a closer look, the attic is actually not suspended in mid-air, but has a base underneath, which blends into the mountain like an underground palace, winding upwards to catch the attic.

Zheng Yun took a deep breath.

The whole attic is pitch-black in color, the eaves stretch out and claws are higher than the top, and the ends are long and narrow, piercing into the air.

Like a bat with spread wings.

Everything that can be sharp must be sharp, and everything that can be curved is a thin blade. Looking down on them from a high place, it exudes a strong oriental weird flavor.

That should be Hades Pavilion.

Just watching is awe-inspiring.

The castles in the air that are more than ten stories high are still in the caves. I really don’t know how the ancients did it.

This scene amazed the black buddies, and chatted with each other, as if they had arrived at a scenic spot.

"Demona's positioning is inside."

Hu Ruihua was more in awe of ghosts and gods than Zheng Yun, so he took a step back silently, staying away from those black buddies to avoid blood splashing on himself.

He has no psychological pressure.

He hired them with money, and he had informed them of the risks in advance, and he was responsible for the consequences in case of an accident. Just like the search and rescue team lost four people this time, it is the rule to admit compensation.
