Indiana Jones

Chapter 79 Cave Maze (06)

Uneasy, they walked forward for a while, and the scene in front of them almost made them collapse. In front of them was a huge quagmire that could not see the edge, and it was all the black mud that they had seen before. The difference was that the mud here Occasionally, some black bubbles will pop out, and there will be strands of black smoke in the broken bubbles, and there are clusters of black vines in the mud, the thin ones are like fingers, and the thick ones are like human legs... from a distance It's like countless huge hair clumps emerging from the mud...

"Is this the source of that black mud ditch?" Li Siming whispered.

"It should be." Si Xuanyi picked up a stone and threw it into the quagmire. The countless black vines began to twist wildly as if awakened, and many of them flocked to the place where the stone fell.

"Damn it." Si Xuanyi cursed in a low voice. It was impossible for them to walk in a straight line given their current situation. There were obstacles everywhere that they couldn't overcome, and they had to change directions frequently.

"We must go out before the torches burn out, otherwise there will be a dead end. Gentlemen don't have time to sigh and complain here. There are still many things we should and can do. Don't give up." Rhode saw that everyone was in a bad state. Too good to use his method to boost morale, but Liang Rong simply translated, "He told us to go quickly, the torch will burn out, don't waste time here, if you don't want to die."

Although the translation is very simple, the meaning is to tell everyone in a simple and clear way. In order to last longer in the dark, Si Xuanyi asked everyone to keep only the torch in Agui's hand, and the others followed closely along the path of the quagmire. Walk on the edge to see if there is another way out, now they can just go by feeling, the so-called direction is completely meaningless.

The size of the quagmire is not small, and they were still within its range after walking for a long time. Countless black vines came out of the quagmire and lay on the stone array on the shore. Throwing a stone in the past can cause this thing to dance wildly. Things rely on perception vibrations to receive external information, so every time a stone is thrown, it will cause a commotion, as if thousands of demons and ghosts are entangled and dancing. The result of being entangled by this thing is conceivable, even if it is not strangled to death, it will still be alive Trapped to death, or directly dragged into the quagmire and drowned, I really don't know what this thing is, is it just stalking people and not eating people?Then what is their purpose of pestering people?
He didn't know anything about this place and these strange vines, and it wasn't mentioned in the stories passed down by his grandfather, but Rhodes had a guess that seemed to be the most reliable. He said that this quagmire was black vines. Where they can survive, they must constantly find nourishment for themselves to maintain their growth and continuation. As for why these black vines move, he does not know, but he has heard of a series of piranhas and fly-eating plants. Prey on plants, so he thought it might be a different kind of plant.

They are not interested in these Si Xuanyi, whether it is like this or not, it has nothing to do with them. Now they only care about whether they can leave here. As long as they don't provoke these strange vines, there is no need to worry. Come up and chase them.

After walking around the quagmire for a long time, the ghosts behind were nowhere to be found, and they didn't even know where they were. Just when they were about to despair, things turned around...

It's not that they found a way out, nor did they have new hope, but that they found a smooth passage on the quagmire that extends into the darkness of the quagmire. This is definitely not something that nature can form, it must be an artificial building. This is a passage paved with bluestone, which is five or six meters wide, with no end in sight at a glance, and countless black vines in the black mud on both sides of the passage, like a road of no return leading to the temple of hell. There was a chill down everyone's spine.

"This must be man-made." Ma Zhong said, in fact, everyone can see it without his nonsense, but I didn't expect that there would be artificial buildings in this kind of place.

"So many black vine ghosts know where to go." Ma Zhong said, his subtext expressed the fear in his heart, and he did not want to take the risk of taking this road.

"I don't recommend going this way, let's continue to find other paths, it's too dangerous." Rhode said, he also felt that those black vines were too scary, and he was reluctant to approach them.

"Only here is man-made, and I haven't seen it in other places. What if there is a way out?" Li Siming whispered, he didn't want to take this road, but was hesitating, in case this was an opportunity, he would give up so easily It's a pity that no matter what they choose now, they have to face huge risks, especially at this critical moment. They know very well that even if they continue to walk along the quagmire, there may not be a way out. Can't get it back.

"I don't recommend taking risks either." Si Xuanyi said, the impact of those Hei Teng on them was too great, no one wanted to get close, including him.

"Let's look for it again." Agui said the same thing, "What if there is a way?"

"Okay..." Li Siming couldn't insist anymore, everyone had this attitude, even if Liang Rong supported him, it was still in the minority.

"Then hurry up, torches... Don't you know that one torch is one less?" Ma Zhong became "active" rarely. Can't find the way, in fact, other people are the same, but not as anxious as he appears.

A group of people just left this strange bluestone road that didn't know where it led. They walked along the mud for a while and found that the whole cave finally came to an end. Wall, in the end this is a dead end...

"Damn it..." Rhodes cursed in a low voice.

"How many torches are there?" Si Xuanyi asked Agui.

"It's already halfway through, let's go on like this..." Speaking of this, Agui shook his head, obviously he was very worried about this.

"What should I do?" Ma Zhong looked at them, "Do you want to continue walking along the cliff?"

"That's the only way to go." Li Siming said.

Since there was no choice, they could only continue to explore along the cliff, but after walking not far, they found that this was not a road to walk at all. There was a huge gap in front of them. It was impossible to think about it, so they could only continue walking along the cliff. After more than ten minutes, they realized that the devil had run to the opposite side of the cliff, and there was a flashlight shaking about a hundred meters away, followed by a row of The bullet swept over, hitting a rock not far away and sparks flew wildly...
