Chapter 20 Chapter 5 The road ahead is dangerous

Lian Xing turned his head to look, and Sima also looked at Lian Xing at this moment.Both of them had serious faces at this time. Just now, they saw the tragic scene of those ghosts and Yingying poisoning a strange man who walked like the wind to death, and they shuddered when they thought about it. Lian Xing walked up to the weird man, put on his gloves, and reached out to touch him.This time, we have learned from the past. When reaching out your hand, be careful.I lightly touched the strange man's skin, but felt that the man's skin was already stiff, like wood and stone.It seems that the poison of Ghost Yingying is indeed very powerful, but within a short period of time from the bottom of the pit to the top, the strange man has already been killed by the Ghost Yingying attached to his body, and turned into a corpse as dry as wood and stone .

Lian Xing stretched out his hand to touch the corpse carefully, but there was nothing on the corpse. Lian Xing and Sima were puzzled.Who is this man?Why are you here?And why go deep into the abyss alone?And why was he chased by Ghost Yingying?With the death of this strange man, all these have become unsolvable puzzles. At this time, it was midnight, and the two of them felt no sleepiness, so they sat on the edge of the tiankeng, quietly waiting for the dawn.The corpse mastiff lay at Lian Xing's feet, with its ears drooping, as if it was very leisurely. After a thrilling experience just now, this rare peace made Lian Xing and Sima's hearts surge.

Lian Xing thought about going down to this tiankeng tomorrow, maybe he would go there and never come back, he couldn't bear to let Sima die with him, so he said: "Brother, tomorrow I will go down alone, you stay up there to meet me, how about it?" Hearing Lian Xing's words, Sima's complexion changed drastically, and he said angrily, "Brother Lian, what are you talking about? Since we two vowed to live and die together, we will share the blessings and share the hardships." .If you abandon you because of danger, then what kind of brothers in need are you? Don’t talk about such things in the future.”

Lian Xing felt warm in his heart, bowed his head and said, "Brother, I was wrong." Sima smiled immediately and said, "That's right, brother." Lian Xing stretched out his hand and held Sima's hand tightly. The four looked at each other, their eyes full of firmness and trust.The two of them communicated with each other for a moment, knowing that as long as they hold these hands, no matter how big the risk is, they will not separate! Seeing that the sky in the distance is gradually showing a white belly, but a white mist floats up from the bottom of the tiankeng valley.The fog became thicker and thicker, and in the end, it was so thick that it couldn't be melted away.

Lian Xing groaned secretly, how could such a thick fog get down to the bottom of the tiankeng?There was a hint of joy on Sima's face. Lian Xing saw Sima's face beaming with joy, felt strange in his heart, and thought: Is this heavy fog good for going down to the bottom of the sinkhole? Sima saw the doubt in Lian Xing's eyes, looked at the white fog and said to Lian Xing: "When the fog rises, those ghosts and fireflies hiding at the bottom of the tiankeng will get wet and unable to fly. In the cave at the bottom of the pit. We just took advantage of the thick fog to slip in quietly. Although it may be inconvenient to walk, we can avoid those terrible ghosts and fireflies and reduce the risk of poisoning."

Lian Xing's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, let's go down as soon as possible, lest the fog will clear up in a while, which will delay the timing." Sima nodded and said, "Not bad." Lian Xing patted the white camel, no one would know whether he was alive or dead when he went down into the tiankeng, this pat was like saying goodbye to the white camel.The white camel seemed to understand the master's intentions, and stretched out its head to rub against Lian Xing's body, looking extremely reluctant. Lian Xing felt sad for a while, sighed, and said to himself: "Bai Tuo, Bai Tuo, if I can survive this disaster, I will definitely take you to see your old master." He took off a set of ropes, took the corpse mastiff with him, and walked to the edge of the tiankeng with Sima.

The two looked down into the tiankeng, and saw that the tiankeng was full of pits and valleys, and there was a vast expanse of white fog.Beyond Zhang Xu, nothing can be seen.Lian Xing firmly tied one end of the rope to a thousand-year-old pine at the edge of the tiankeng, and threw the other end into the white mist.
