Chapter 2080 The Gate of the Forbidden Land
Perhaps because of nervousness, we tried our best to cut off the mycelium that was wrapped around Zhang Jing, and then continued to move forward along the cave, but the sound behind us was still huge and even seemed very close, which made us not want to relax at all.
I don’t know what will be ahead, nor do I think about what is at the end of the cave. However, when I saw the first ray of sky light again, it pierced into the cracks from top to bottom into the cave, we finally saw the scene ahead and actually talked about a huge abyss like a sinkhole.
In the bottomless abyss, countless mutant creatures are piled up into a spiral giant tower. On the skull of the huge beast at the top, half a blue-light stone axe is inserted, and the axe blade is engraved with twenty-three marks that are the same as the sun totem, which makes people feel a little throbbing when they look at it.
"If you guessed it's not wrong, it's the cemetery of the Colosseum." Pauling's voice drowned in the sound of rock formation breaking.
Behind the cave was pitch black, only the flashlight beam drew a few rays of light in the dark. Yuan Yuan leaned against the rock wall and breathed rapidly. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the belt of her backpack, as if she was looking for a trace of security, which made me unable to help getting close to her.
"There is no way ahead. If one of those two beasts comes in, we may suffer. So, we cannot wait for death here all the time." Guo Wan whispered to Bao Lin: "The people in Wang will find us sooner or later, and the creatures here... are not safe."
"What do you have any suggestions?" Guo Wan's IQ surprised me, but I didn't have many surprises. The danger that normal people can think of is not scary. What is scary is the unknown of this grassland. Thinking of Wang Brown's experience in the rain forest, I frowned and asked Bao Lin.
Pauling did not dare to quickly take out a notebook from his arms, and opened one of the pages and said: "It is said that there is an underground river deep in the Death Canyon, leading to the outside of the forbidden area. If we can find that river, we may be able to escape and even find some related things."
"Is there an underground river here?" Zhang Jing's eyes were a little distracted. He looked at the bone pit in front of him and asked in confusion, "Apart from this strange pit and the scary bones below, where is the underground river here?"
"I can't be sure." Pauling was not nervous but admitted frankly. He did not see any water when he looked at both sides. But Pauling then looked at us: "No matter where it is, whether it really exists, now we will look for it together. This is our only hope."
The team fell into a brief silence, and the roars behind it were getting closer, as if some kind of giant beast was searching for traces. Although I don’t know whether it was the black panther or the golden eagle, it was obvious that there was not much time left.
"Okay, let's try it together." I made a decision and held Yuan Yuan's hand without putting it on: "But everyone must be careful and keep a safe distance at all times. After all, the weird creatures here... are not something we can deal with alone."
"Everyone is careful. There is a lot of light here, so I'll divide it into two groups! Guo Wan, you and Huang Jing go with you, and the rest follow me. Let's take a look around this bone pit first!" Bao Lin did not hesitate and arranged it directly.
The team left carefully and moved along the bone pit towards the depths of both sides. The road under our feet became more and more rugged, and there were more and more claw marks on the rock walls on both sides, as if reminding us that this is a dangerous world.
Guo Wan still looked at me with some pleasure, so he helped Ma Lihua and me without hesitation. We walked forward cautiously for a while, and suddenly a sound of water came from the front, as if a river was flowing.
"There is really water!" Guo Wan, who looked happy, made a sound and instantly speak, which attracted Bao Lin, who was walking there. Everyone in the team was excited and couldn't help but speed up their pace forward. However, when they approached, the scene in front of them made people breathe in the air.
"Boss Bao, wait!" Guo Ji's voice was a little hoarse when he looked at the situation in front of him. Before two huge triangular rocks stacked each other into a hole, we found a wide underground river lying in front of them.
When we came here, this place was horizontally in front of the pit, so we naturally couldn't see the entrance of the triangle hole. At this time, our body was a little stuck, and Pauling seemed to feel that he would bring people over quickly.
The river water in front of me was as dark as ink, exuding a biting chill. On the dim bank of the river, a huge golden-topped snare was entrenched there. Its head was flashing with golden scales, as if some mysterious symbol, which shocked people in their hearts. I wonder if it was the beginning.
What is even more frightening is that the shadow of a giant crocodile can be seen in the river, slowly swimming towards the shore. Even if we can't be sure, when we start fighting with giant beasts, we can't walk at this time.
"Oh, that's bad..." I whispered, clenched the military stent in my hand, and also pulled Yuan Yuan closer.
The golden-topped croaker seemed to notice the existence of us. Before the giant crocodile in the water approached, it slowly raised its head, and its cold vertical pupils looked directly at us. The giant crocodile in the river was still far away, and it also revealed its hideous head and opened its bloody mouth, making a low roar.
Even though Bao Lin had already approached at this moment, the team was in desperate situation again as they looked at the scene in front of him. There was a giant crocodile on the side of the snare, and there might be a giant beast behind him. We seemed to have no way to escape.
"What to do? What to do?" Although Zhong Qianting's voice was not loud, she was trembling and almost burst into tears.
"There is really no way out, so I can only fight!" I gritted my teeth and said to Pauling: "We can't sit still and wait for death!"
"I agree with your statement. We must choose even if there is danger! Look,,,,,,,," Just then Guo Ji suddenly noticed that the golden scales on the head of the snail in front of him were actually flashing faint light in the darkness. He suddenly remembered something and murmured: "The golden-topped snail protects the gate of the forbidden area. The scales are keys to open the road to life."
"Wait!" He shouted without hiding it, and the dagger quickly cut his palm, and blood suddenly surged out.
"Are you crazy?" I looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"I don't have time to explain!" Bao Lin Zhijie applied blood on a stone and threw it towards the anaconda. The stone drew an arc in the air and landed on the huge head of the anaconda.
At this moment, it seemed that a miracle had happened. The golden scales above the head of the snake suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and the entire underground space around was illuminated. The dark river water in the cave began to churn violently, and the giant crocodile in the water let out a terrifying roar, quickly diving into the water and disappearing.
The snail slowly lowered its head, watching us not moving, but as it looked like its head was swaying, it seemed to be signaling something to us, and then its body slowly moved to one side.
