Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Eight

The mark is on the cliff more than ten meters away from us. We discovered it because the font is relatively large. I don’t understand who made the mark on the cliff, and more importantly, why it is a combination of these letters.You must know that these letters have appeared on the back of the photo and on the Dragon Soul reconnaissance plane. Long Shao and the others also felt something strange, Ying Ge said: "Could it be to mark the flight path of the plane? According to the size of the mark, the purpose is to be easily spotted by others." "What does that have to do with the secret passage?" Master Feng turned his face and asked Shengnan again, "What does the mark have to do with the secret passage? Can you find the secret passage by following the marks?"

Katsuo didn't answer directly, and said with a slight sarcasm in his tone: "I don't know, you will know if you try it!" Seeing this, Ying Ge was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Long Shao stretching out his hand, Long Shao said: "We have encountered many such situations, and there is no more choice left for us, let's look for them along the signs!" That's what I said, but it's not the same thing when I do it. There is no place to step down on the road here, and I have to climb it with my arms.Considering that this is a difficult movement, Katsuo chose to get down and walk by himself. I don't know if it is because I feel insecure.

Fortunately, such a difficult road is not long. When we reach the mark, the iron chain has changed from one to many. We can step on the iron chain to move forward. Although it is also difficult, it is more difficult than before. The situation with no place to step down has improved a lot. After walking for a long time, the iron chains became more dense, and more than a dozen iron chains were lined up side by side, forming a long iron chain bridge between the cliffs.It's just that this iron chain bridge is not horizontal, but vertical, extending to a place that cannot be seen ahead.And at intervals, there will be several horizontal iron chains to fix these long cables to the cliffs on both sides.The iron chain bridge trembles when stepped on, and when the wind blows on it, it will fall on both sides and sway constantly. I can't help but think of the Luding Bridge on the Dadu River.The difference is that below the Luding Bridge is the raging torrent of the Dadu River, while we are now standing on a bottomless abyss, which may even be the legendary hell.

Walking on such a bridge is really strenuous, and we have to climb on the chains to rest every time we walk.At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came up from the abyss under our feet. The sound was not loud, but it was quite thick. It felt like an earthquake was coming, and it made people feel numb all over. I rely on!We are not in the crater, are we?It would be glorious to encounter a volcanic eruption.But I also know that this is unlikely, so I still looked at the direction under my feet curiously. This look frightened me so much that my heart jumped out of my throat, the hand holding the iron chain almost slipped, and I almost fell off the cliff.

The bottom was originally pitch black, but now it became brightly lit, with countless sparks floating around, shrouded in a layer of mist, illusory, it felt like overlooking a city at night from an airplane.What's even more bizarre is that, through the dim lights in the abyss, one after another long lines can be vaguely stretched forward along the rift valley, and every other section there will be a towering column connecting these long lines. It looked like high-voltage wires erected one by one, and I couldn't help but think of the strange electric shock experience of Katsuo and his group.

There are people living here!I suddenly came up with such a strange idea, although it seems absurd, but after seeing all kinds of weird things in Nanling, I will no longer resist any weird things.I believe that I am definitely not an exception. Anyone who struggles here will believe everything. "What's going on here? What's going on here..." Ying Ge was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, his brows were tightly frowned. Even though he was used to seeing bullets and bullets, such a situation still caused a huge shock to his psychological defense. . "It looks like a city, a miracle! A miracle!" Master Feng kept praising.

city?how is this possible!How could there be a city under this, and what kind of city would it be?Is it the undeserved city of hell?I thought of all the legends about Nanling, and the brightly lit scene at the moment could not make me feel the warmth of thousands of lights, on the contrary, I felt a cold sweat running down my spine.Everyone stayed in place at this moment and did not dare to move anymore, as if they were afraid of disturbing something underneath. "Could it be some abandoned secret base?" I tentatively expressed my guess. After all, this kind of place is inaccessible, and it is the first choice for doing some secret research. Maybe it is something left by the Japanese back then. , although so many years have passed, there is still some residual electricity in it, and the voltage is so high that electrocution is not a problem.

Sanpao refuted me this time, "Even if they are, who are they now? Even if they are Japanese, they have already become ghosts by now. Why is the shelf life of this base still so long?" I can't do anything about his rebuttal. After all, I'm just guessing, and I can't argue with him. It's just because there are Japanese fighter planes here, so I just make random guesses. With my personality, seeing such a scene is a bit overwhelming. Random guesses are perfectly normal. Master Feng frowned and said: "It seems something is not good. According to common sense, the air here is thin, and it is impossible for people to survive, but what is going on? Could it be..."

"Could it be that there are a group of ghosts living underneath? Or is it something different from our human existence, and also has a high degree of civilization?" I took Master Feng's words and said several possibilities in one breath. Although it was still a guess, it was already It is the greatest possibility. Katsuo heard our discussion and suddenly said, "Are you really ignorant or are you pretending you don't know?" We were surprised to hear her question, and immediately turned our eyes to her, and asked almost in unison: "Know what?" Katsuo glanced at our faces with extremely surprised eyes, making sure that we really didn't know anything, and then said with a little contempt: "I really don't understand you, you don't know anything and just bump into it here? You guys Do you think your life is long?"

I thought to myself that I came here to seek the answer because I don't know anything.Seeing that Sheng Nan seemed to know something, Long Shao asked anxiously, "What do you mean, what do you know?" Shengnan said: "Under here is the 'Ghost Shadow City' in the legend of Nanling, where the souls of Nanling people are stored, and according to historical records, the most sacred 'Dragon Soul' in Nanling was found in the Ghost Shadow City! " "Underneath is Ghost Shadow City, so what is going all the way to the end?" Young Master Long continued to ask.

Shengnan said: "It seems that you really don't know anything. It can only show that you are very lucky to be able to find this place. The ruins of Nanling City are on the top of us, and the Ghost Shadow City is below. The place is of course the mausoleum of King Nanling! Legend has it that King Nanling separated the body and soul of the people for the convenience of ruling, with the body on top and the soul on the bottom!" Master Feng smiled and said: "Don't be joking, girl, you really think we are easy to fool? You said that the tomb of King Nanling is in front of you. I agree, but I have completely ignored the wind. I am afraid that you will not Believe it, and now come to mislead us!" After hearing this, Katsuo let out a "hum" and stopped talking.Young Master Long continued: "I think it might be like this. The rift here is actually connected to the rift with the plank road we walked before!" Sanpao said: "That's impossible, then how did we get here? We took a lot of detours along the way and followed the formation of stone figurines to get here. Could it be that we've been doing it for a long time and are still spinning around in place? " I immediately understood a little bit, and tentatively asked: "Could it be that this rift is circular? We are actually still within the scope of that rift?" Young Master Long nodded and said: "I think so, because apart from this special terrain, it is difficult for an aircraft to successfully perform flight missions in such a rift valley. The rift valley may be circular, but we have walked to the other side. If Walking along here, it is very likely that we will return to the origin of our departure." If such an inference is true, then our previous crimes were purely in vain. It would be nice to climb directly to the top and circle around the rift valley, which saves time and effort, and also guarantees safety. But what's going on here?We know that there is a centipede's nest under this rift, so what exactly is in the ghost shadow city?Could it be a group of people living with centipedes... Just as I was puzzled, I felt the iron chain vibrate a few times. When I raised my eyes inadvertently, I suddenly saw a few vague figures climbing up the cliff, and they had already climbed onto the iron chain where we were. . "Who?" I couldn't help screaming, our people's attention was immediately attracted by me, and the guys in my hands were exposed, as vigilant as if I saw a monster.To be honest, it is not scary to see anything here, but it is even more incredible to see people. Are they the residents of this underground city?What are you doing climbing up here? Take a walk? Only then did the other party discover us, and at the same time showed vigilance, and immediately confronted us. I saw something was wrong when I looked again, because these people were actually holding the same guy as us in their hands, and the clothes they were wearing It looks a little familiar. Seeing that he was about to fight, Katsuo suddenly stood up, gestured to the other party with a happy face, then waved his hand and said to us: "Don't be surprised, it's our people!" Sanpao said in shock: "Your people? Didn't they all die? Why are there still remnants of troops here?" Sheng Nan said: "We came in in batches, and something happened to our group at Tianmen, I didn't expect that the first group of people were still alive!" San Pao said jokingly: "Good guy! I dare you to set up an ambush in the middle of the road. Fortunately, we are well prepared this time!" Katsuo ignored him and gestured to the other party a few more times, and the other party relaxed. We followed suit and put down the raised guns. The atmosphere was finally less tense. Someone on the other side started shouting in English, it seems to be their leader, Long Shao here also responded in English, and the two groups dangled on the iron chain, gestured and shouted, and finally joined together. There were only three people on the other side, two foreigners and a short yellow man. It seemed that they were in a miserable situation, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, and looked extremely depressed.The frail, short yellow man seemed to be scared out of his wits, his expression was dull, and he couldn't stop trembling. If it weren't for the other two people protecting him, he might have trembled directly to the bottom of the abyss. Seeing them, Katsuo's expression darkened. It was obvious that there were definitely more than these few people in their team when they set off, and the few in front of them were just survivors. Sheng Nan was about to ask them what happened, when suddenly Master Feng looked down with a livid face, and said nervously: "Don't talk, there seems to be another situation down here!"
