Mice are animals with strong survivability. They eat almost anything, can adapt to harsh environments, and have super reproductive ability.So some people say: Even if the earth is destroyed, mice may still be able to survive.

The truth may not be so exaggerated.After all, a mouse is a living thing too.Even if they eat everything, at least they cannot lack food sources.Even if they can survive anywhere, they are basically nocturnal, but occasionally need sunlight.Zhou Lingfeng is very aware of this, so he thinks that instead of rushing through those holes that don't know where they lead, he might as well go straight into this cave where mice have crawled out.That way, he might be able to find a way to climb out of the ground, or find food to keep him alive.Even if the situation was so bad that none of these things happened, at least he still had the chance to meet a mouse again and eat it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lingfeng hurriedly pulled out the skeleton that was half overhanging the hole, then plunged into the hole and crawled forward.

After crawling stop and go for a long time, Zhou Lingfeng couldn't help but secretly sighed that it was too easy for him to think.After all, human beings are not mice. He crawled all the way, and he saw a lot of caves, big and small. Each of them may lead to the ground, or there may be hidden food, but those caves are basically avenues for mice. As a human being, he couldn't even penetrate his shoulders.The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to think about anything else.What's more, Zhou Lingfeng himself knew that those holes on the rock wall were all unknown to him, no matter which one he got into, it was actually a yyng, it was just a matter of luck.Right now, he really has no better way than to bite the bullet and continue to climb forward.

Fortunately, his luck has always been good. After climbing for a while, Zhou Lingfeng saw three forks in the road that were enough for people to pass.Human beings are so sloppy, and when they just had a way to go, they couldn't help but feel troubled.At this time, there are three paths to choose from, but Zhou Lingfeng feels that it is more difficult than before.After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't decide which one to go.In the end, there was really no other way, so he burrowed into the cave that felt the hottest.I thought to myself, since the temperature in the desert is high anyway, the hot wind in this cave might come from the surface. [

The structure of this cave is very neat.Not only are there no holes for mice to pass through, but even the direction of travel is constantly changing up and down.After a while, Zhou Lingfeng lost his sense of direction due to the weird direction of the cave, and couldn't figure out whether he was going up or down.Fortunately, the structure of the cave changed again at this time, and the joy of finally being able to stop crawling on the ground suddenly squeezed out the doubts.

Zhou Lingfeng got up and stomped his feet, then sat on the ground and slowly rubbed his extra sore knees and arms to recover his strength.When he felt that the soreness all over his body had eased a little, he hurriedly stood up, and slowly walked forward while supporting the rock wall.The hunger in his abdomen surged again, and the burning pain in his throat became more and more serious.Obviously.The huge mouse just now had been digested during the long climb, and his body urgently needed some food to replenish nutrients, even if it was still smelly mouse meat.

The top of the cave is getting higher and higher, and it is already possible to walk normally with a straight waist.The air around him also became hotter and hotter, almost approaching the temperature in the desert at noon.This change gave Zhou Lingfeng a little more confidence, and his steps became a little lighter.Not long after walking, he found that the red around him suddenly brightened, and there seemed to be an exit not far ahead.He quickened his pace without hesitation.He quickly moved towards the red-lit exit.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, Zhou Lingfeng stuck his head out while supporting the cave wall.A gust of scorching hot wind rushed towards his face, almost knocking him back into the cave again.Gathering his mind slightly, he raised his head to look out again, and then he was taken aback by the scene in front of him, as if a statue was stuck in place.

I saw blood red not far away, and a river composed of magma was flowing slowly.Occasionally, some bright red bubbles will pop out, as if the devil is simmering soup.The lava river clings to the rock wall on one side, and seems to flow out of a huge hole.On the other side of the river is a wide rocky plain, with some cone-shaped rock sequences of different sizes scattered around, like bloody spears.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Lingfeng swallowed his saliva.I secretly rejoiced that the cave I was in happened to be at the outermost edge of the rocky plain. If I were on the rock wall where the lava flowed out, I might have been roasted to death long ago.Sighing heavily, he turned his head and wanted to go back into the hole. He planned to go back to the fork along the original road first, and then try the other two forks.

After turning halfway around, Zhou Lingfeng suddenly stopped, and then hurriedly turned back to look forward.

Is that...the road? !

That's right, it's the road!

Zhou Lingfeng bit his lip hard, reminding himself that he was not dreaming with the piercing pain.Although the "road" is not too close to me, some people can't see it clearly, but judging from the winding shape and the flatness different from other places, it is indeed a road that has been artificially modified .

In an instant, Zhou Lingfeng suddenly remembered the dossier with the words "Top Secret" printed on it.A huge voice echoed in my heart:

"Could it be that this is the 'mysterious relic'?"

Zhou Lingfeng stretched out his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to calm down his beating heartbeat.That path not only indicated that he had touched the door of that "top secret mission", it was even very likely to provide him with a smooth way to escape.In any case, this discovery can not make him not excited.

calm!calm!It is darkest before dawn, and it is easiest to fail before success.

Silently repeating his motto several times, Zhou Lingfeng slowly squatted down and observed the terrain.There is still some distance between the cave he is in and the ground, which is not very big, roughly speaking, it is about the height of a three-story building.From the current point of view, although the entire rocky plain cannot be said to be at a glance, everything between myself and that road can still be seen clearly.

Zhou Lingfeng checked the surroundings carefully, and found no danger, nor did he see anything suspicious.Relieved a little, he began to carefully observe the direction of the road.Seen from where he was, the road was basically parallel to him.The section of road on the left hand side gradually winds upwards, as if leading to the scorching lava river, while the section on the right hand side goes straight forward, as if leading to the rock wall on the other side.

Seeing the direction of the road clearly, Zhou Lingfeng had some confidence in his heart.Looking down at the rock wall under his feet, he began to climb down to the ground cautiously.The height of a three-story building is nothing to a professionally trained soldier. It didn't take long for Zhou Lingfeng to stand firmly on the ground.After stopping for a while to listen to the movement, he started to lean towards that road after noticing nothing.

Walking closer, Zhou Lingfeng became more convinced of his judgment.The place under the feet is not only much flatter than the surrounding rocky ground, but traces of artificial polishing can be clearly seen, and there is even a slightly raised edge on the edge of this area and other places, which is very similar to the "curbs" of the streets in the city. resemblance.

Zhou Lingfeng thought for a while, then turned to the right and walked along the road.He didn't walk directly on the road, but walked on the rocky ground close to it.After all, there are unknown things on a road that may lead to the "mysterious ruins", not to mention that this road is still built in a place that is very similar to hell. [

After a while, Zhou Lingfeng vaguely saw a huge arch on the rock wall ahead.The black rock passage on the side continued to extend forward, leading straight to the depth of the arch.He quickened his pace, and subconsciously raised his vigilance.

The arch is very big, even if it is compared with the city gate building of Tianjin Wei, it may not be much worse. Zhou Lingfeng, who walked up to the arch, thought so.Then he stopped and looked carefully.

This arch looks like it was carved out of a whole block of rock, and there are many weird characters carved on the doorpost, some of which resemble Chinese and some of which resemble Arabic tadpole script. Anyway, Zhou Lingfeng doesn't know any of them.Apart from these weird words, there is nothing around the arch, not even the place where the door leaf should have been installed.

This discovery made Zhou Lingfeng relax a little.The description of the "mysterious relic" in that file was vague, and nothing useful was mentioned.Apart from the illusory words of "possessing the power to control the world", it is not even clear whether this ruin is a palace or a mausoleum.When he started to carry out this task, he thought to himself that it would be better if it was a palace or something else, but it would be much more troublesome if it was a mausoleum.In his thinking, there must be some strange traps in the mausoleum, and a little carelessness may kill him. Compared with other places, it is naturally much more dangerous.

Because there was no trace of installing the gate, Zhou Lingfeng judged that this must not be a mausoleum.Any mausoleum will try its best to seal it tightly, and it will never even have a gate.In this regard, the danger may not be so great.

Zhou Lingfeng regained his composure, stood by the edge of the arch and cautiously peeked into the door.What I saw was a straight passage with no end in sight.The ground of the passage is an extension of the road under your feet. There is no difference in material, and the sides and top continue to extend along the shape of the arch, as if they were directly excavated on the rock without any extra decoration.

Standing silently at the door for a while, Zhou Lingfeng couldn't see any danger.Squinting his eyes, he raised his legs and walked deep into the passage. (to be continued...)
