20demayo Chapter 142 Secret Passage
Chapter 142 Secret Passage
People here have the habit of taking naps, except for some women who are left behind to patrol in groups.
Taking advantage of the bright afternoon sun, a few people quietly left the B&B.
Along the way, the patrolling women did not stop them.
Walk along a seldom-traveled path towards the edge of the village.
As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, and there seemed to be an imperceptible chill in the air.
"Hasn't it arrived yet? I'm almost bitten to death by mosquitoes." Wen Xiaowan said dissatisfiedly.
She slapped her arms gently, trying to drive away the mosquitoes that were endlessly surrounding her.
Originally, she was unwilling to come.
But she couldn't stay alone in that terrible B&B now.
I had no choice but to follow reluctantly.
Unfortunately, all her clothes were sleeveless tight skirts and she was wearing the slippers from the guest house.
There were more than a dozen large red and swollen lumps on my hands and feet from mosquito bites.
Of course, she didn't forget to bring her cherished brand-name bag.
She pulled a bottle of expensive perfume from her bag and sprayed it lightly on her arms and ankles.
"This is it." Yueyue stopped and pointed to an overgrown, almost forgotten open space in front of her.
Dozens of dilapidated tombstones can be vaguely seen there, looking particularly desolate and eerie in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Lan Lingchi walked forward and carefully observed the surrounding environment. His Yin-Yang eyes began to work, trying to capture things that ordinary people could not see.
However, he did not find anything particularly unusual.
Yang Xining looked at these tombstones, all of which were engraved with the names of people from the country R.
I guess those women erected the stone tablet here specifically to commemorate the relatives of the war criminals.
Yang Xining didn't have a good impression of the owners of these tombstones, but since Yueyue was here, she couldn't curse them.
Lan Lingchi couldn't help himself, and spat at a tombstone with contempt and disdain: "These scums still have the nerve to build a cemetery on this island after their death."
"Big sister, why does big brother call these stones garbage?" Yueyue grabbed Yang Xining's pants and shook them twice, asking in confusion.
As this was a politically sensitive issue between the two countries, Yang Xining had no choice but to lean over and stroke Yueyue's hair, explaining, "Big brother just felt it was a pity to waste this piece of land. Yueyue, let's ignore him."
Satan: "Woman, the secret is down here. I can feel a very strange magnetic field here. There must be a secret down here."
Here below?
Yang Xining looked around but did not find any entrance.
"It seems that there is indeed something unusual here." Lanlingchi whispered after Monet's reminder.
He turned around and looked at Yang Xining, "Hope, what do you think?"
Yang Xining pondered for a moment, and it flashed through his mind that Satan might be hiding some key information here.
"We might as well search more carefully to see if we can find any clues."
So, the group began to search carefully around the cemetery.
"Master, there's something strange here. I can hear air moving inside."
Monet pointed to a patch of grass between the two tombstones and said to Lanlingchi.
Lan Lingchi and Yang Xining exchanged glances.
The two men turned over dead branches and leaves, pushed aside weeds, and even carefully pried open some loose stones with branches.
By moving the stones away, a hidden staircase was revealed.
"Why is there a passage here?"
Suddenly, Lanling Chi felt a murderous aura, and he threw Yang Xining to the ground without hesitation.
Then, "Swish, swish, swish!" Several bullets whizzed past their heads, embedding into the surrounding tombstones, stirring up a cloud of rubble and dust.
Wen Xiaowan screamed in fright and hid behind a tombstone in horror.
"Someone attacked us!" Lan Lingchi quickly stood up and pulled Yang Xining up.
He then found a tombstone to hide behind.
At the same time, he looked around vigilantly, trying to find the location of the shooter.
It turned out that not far away, there were several women holding sniper rifles and shooting at them.
Although these women looked unfamiliar, judging from their clothes, they should be from the village.
Maybe it's the person guarding this cemetery.
One of the women shouted in a hoarse voice: "Outsider, get out of there!"
When several people heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.
At this moment, Yueyue quietly left the team and quickly went down the passage.
"Yueyue!" Yang Xining watched Yueyue go down the passage and hurriedly followed.
There was no choice, Lan Lingchi and Wen Xiaowan had to run in.
The group of women saw Yang Xining and his group running towards the entrance of the passage and shooting wildly in that direction.
As they went down the passage, a loud "boom" soon followed.
The passage was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of mold and earth, but at this moment it became their only refuge.
"Monet, are you there?" Lanlingchi called in a low voice, trying to get in touch with the invisible Monet.
"I'm here, young master. Those women don't seem to be going to let us go. They have already blown up the entrance to the cave." Monet's voice sounded in Lanlingchi's mind with a hint of solemnity.
Because he is a demon messenger, he cannot kill humans at will without the orders of the Great Demon King and the contractor.
So he could only stand by and not interfere.
Lanling Chi frowned, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
This passage is not wide and can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
They moved cautiously along the winding passage, fearing that they would trigger some mechanism or trap.
As we go deeper, the air in the passage seems to become thinner, making people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
At this moment, a faint light came from the front, which seemed to be the exit of the passage.
Yang Xining was delighted because she saw Yueyue standing in front of her and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Yueyue, why are you running so fast?"
The next moment, Yang Xining stopped.
Because the scene before her shocked her.
This, this, this is actually a long bridge.
This bridge seems to be about a hundred years old. The wood blocks on it are already mottled and the ropes are slightly loose, but it still stands firmly across the cliffs on both sides.
And below is a bottomless abyss, because there is only a little light in the cave.
The light was dim and I couldn't see the bottom clearly. I could only hear low echoes in the distance, which made me feel cold.
The other side of the bridge seems to be full of unknown world.
"Where is this?" Wen Xiaowan, who followed closely, was still in shock, her voice trembling.
Looking around Lanling Pool, one can see that it is surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland or a ghost town.
“There is actually such a place on this small island.”
"We can't stay here for too long, we have to find a way out quickly." Yang Xining took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
She looked at Yueyue, "Yueyue, do you know where this place is?"
Yueyue shook her head: "Yueyue doesn't know, and has never heard of it."
Monet glanced at the little mermaid inconspicuously and snorted softly through his nose.
Satan: "Haha, woman, go and take a look, I feel the secret is there."
"Hope, what should we do next?" Lan Lingchi asked, his eyes fixed on the front, alert to possible dangers.
"At this point, we have no choice but to cross the bridge." Yang Xining made a decisive decision.
Wen Xiaowan hesitated and said, "But, but, this bridge looks quite old. Can people still cross it? I, I'm scared..."
"Don't be afraid, follow my steps closely, and remember to hold on to the ropes."
Lan Lingchi pursed his lips and frowned slightly: "Wait a minute, Hope, I'm a boy, let me go first."
Upon hearing this, Monet bit the handkerchief he carried with him.
Oh, oh, oh, the young master is getting better and better!
