Chapter 175: Upside-Down Corpse

But from this point of view, this piece of nothingness should be at the bottom of this cave.

I couldn't help but look down at the endless darkness below my feet, and suddenly I had a strong expectation for the secret hidden in it.

We have finally understood that the content described in the last mural in the temple has been reproduced here.

We left the platform and set out again, walking down the stone steps that hovered downwards.

After walking forward for a while, we finally arrived at the area where the corpse is inlaid. Fortunately, we had some mental preparations on it before. Otherwise, in such a dark environment, when we turned our heads and saw an upside-down mummy inlaid on the stone wall, no matter who it was, we would be shocked. Maybe if we make a mistake, we would be regretful forever!

A large number of mummies were embedded in rows of stone walls. They were very close to the stone steps. When we walked on it, we could say that they were close to the mummies. This was a very entangled feeling. The stone steps under our feet were very narrow, with bottomless darkness on one side and inlaid mummies on the other side. I felt like I was sandwiched in the middle and in pain! However, in the end I decided to be closer to the mummies. Although I was afraid, I would not be thrown to death.

I found that all these mummies were sitting cross-legged. The pit where they were located was very cleverly digging. Several internal bulges just stuck in the protruding corpse, such as the positions of the shoulders, waist and hip bones, making them very natural and stable even though these mummies were put backwards.

When we just approached these mummies, we only saw the corpses of ordinary people. It was not until we walked for a while that the corpses of double-horned people gradually appeared. However, there is another very strange thing, that is, the eyeballs of these mummies, whether they are double-horned people or ordinary people, were all dug out. After the corpse was shriveled, a black hole with the skull exposed. It looked very scary.

I couldn't help but think of the eyes that were sealed with special methods in the stone tower outside. Could it be that these people's? I suddenly felt a little disgusted when I remembered the foul-stenched black liquid in the eyes.

Looking at the layers of mummies around me, I spoke, "What is the purpose of these corpses being stored here? Is it just to echo the mural?"

"No," Uncle Er shook his head and said, "I speculate that the era of the formation here should be longer than the era of the formation of murals."

"In other words, is there any other meaning to the corpse being placed here?" I asked.

The second uncle nodded and said, "I think this should be a cemetery of the Nether Clan back then. The geographical environment of the Nether Clan back then made them not able to build conventional tombs, so they used this space-saving method to bury them. Of course, it is not ruled out that the location here is special. However, it can be seen from the types of corpses on it that when the cemetery was first used, the two-horned people lived in harmony with ordinary people. Until the two-horned people were oppressed, they could not be buried here again. This is also because we could not see the corpses of the two-horned people just now. So the further down, the older the corpses should be."

When the second uncle said this, I suddenly remembered the group of tombs that appeared on the stone walls on both sides when they were underground rivers in the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom. The ancestors of the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom were buried there in a similar way, but the difference was that the mummies there were all sitting cross-legged, while the people here were sitting upside down.

While walking, Lanxiao shone the flashlight at the mummy on the stone wall, shook her head and said, "It's not good to be buried like this. Although it saves space, you have to be buried with you! These are all alone and you can't even get a slight weapon!"

I looked at Lanxiao and said, "Why are you always thinking about the underworld? You have taken a lot of things like pineapple and other things. The big zongzi short sword was also on your side. Take out these things and you can hold the flow of water in your small shop for more than ten years! Can you think about something else?"

After hearing this, Yuanxiao nodded, then looked down at the bottom of the cave, "Actually, I'm most curious about what is at the bottom of this cave?"

"Who isn't it!" As I said that, I also shone down with a flashlight. Only a piece of darkness could be seen in the middle of the cave, surrounded by circles of stone steps, extending into the darkness. I couldn't help but fantasize that if there were stone steps in the Void Eye under the tomb of the island, could we also explore the mystery? But I suddenly remembered that the strange white fog surging there always made people feel that something was hidden in it, which immediately gave me abortion of the past.

Under the flashlight, I saw mummies coming from one stone wall below, which were denser than those distributed above.

Although their eyes have disappeared, they always feel like they are looking at us. Especially when I look at my position, it seems that these mummies are really high and looking down at us. This visual illusion is really shocking. At the same time, being "looking down" by so many mummies, I suddenly feel a chill in my heart.

In this way, we walked down for a long time, at least I felt this way. As the second uncle said, I did feel dizzy when I rotated in one direction for a long time, and it was very strong. Of course, it was not just me. So we had to stop and rest every time we walked for a while.

I looked up and looked up. The entrance of the cave was no longer visible at this time, and the bottom of the cave below was also impossible. In this very embarrassing and uneasy situation, all I could see was the darkness around me and the stone steps under my feet, and the stone wall on the right made me know that I was not hanging in the dark space, at least I had some support.

I don’t know how long we will go like this road, but suddenly I had a strange feeling. Maybe we will continue like this! We will walk until the end of time!

But after walking for a while, although we had not reached the end of time, we had reached the end of the road.

Although we have also been worried, we always have a sense of luck, but what we are most worried about still happened: after we set off from a small platform and just took two steps, the person in front of us came to the news. I don’t know if it was because of disrepair or some other reason, the stone steps ahead had large areas of fracture and collapse.

This emergency forced us to stop. As a last resort, we returned to this small platform.

We gathered to the side and shone the stone steps forward with a flashlight. We did see a long section of the stone steps that broke down from the stone wall. Not only that, the gravel that fell from this layer also hit the stone steps below, so we could see that several layers of the stone steps were damaged to varying degrees in the same vertical direction.

The length of this missing stone step is visually estimated to exceed at least twenty meters, and it is absolutely impossible to cross it with manpower alone.

Yuanxiao looked up and down helplessly, "We have already walked here, we can't go back, so we'll think of a solution."

The second uncle looked down and said, "The only way to do this is to put a rope down. We should have a few hiking ropes."

I was a little worried, "Even if the rope is put down, it is a problem. First of all, we don't know the situation below. In addition, the key point is that we don't know how deep it is. If the rope is hanging in the air, it is not up to the world or the ground, it is easy for people to climb down, but it will be difficult to get up!" As I said that, I looked down at the darkness under my feet. I just thought that I was hanging alone in the darkness. This feeling was really not very good.

At this time, Tian Laosi said, "Put down the hiking rope, I'll go and take a look first!"

Looking at Tian Laosi's strong figure, I believe he has the energy to complete this.

We found a crack on the mountain wall and stuffed the self-swelling steel hook into it. After a few steel claws hung upside down on the rocks on both sides, it was very strong and tighter. Tian Laosi took off his equipment, inserted his pistol at his waist, bit his flashlight, grabbed the rope and slid down carefully.

We looked at his figure and soon disappeared into the darkness. All we could do was wait. But after a while, we did not receive any message from Tian Laosi.

Yuanxiao looked at the time, "Why did it take so long? How long did we put down the hiking rope?"

The second uncle thought for a while and said, "It's about one hundred meters."

"One hundred meters? This should be done long ago." Yuanxiao couldn't help but frowned, "Is something wrong?"

As soon as Lantern Festival finished speaking, Wen Mo got up and grabbed the mountain rope and flew and jumped down.

Yuanxiao opened her mouth and said "Oh", but as soon as she said that Wen Mo's figure had disappeared into the darkness below. Yuanxiao couldn't help but mutter, "It doesn't matter if you broke Tian Laosi, don't put Wen Mo in!" Yuanxiao said without any hesitation. Seeing that Yuan An's face became ugly, I quickly patted him.

Yuanxiao realized that he had made a mistake and secretly glanced at Yuan An and shrank his neck.

After Wenmo went down for a few minutes, the rope was suddenly shaken a few times. This was the code we agreed on before. If there was no problem, the person below would shake the rope and then we could go down.
