C29 Inside the Cave

I didn't expect the hole to be so deep. There was a fork in the tunnel. I stopped at the fork and didn't know whether to continue walking forward or not. The crying sound seemed to have something to do with it. Was it not a human cry? If it was a human cry, how could it come from such a deep hole?

Just as I stopped walking, the thief cat looked around and directly went into one of the holes.

It didn't run far. It stopped at the front of the hole. Only then did I realize that there was a pair of women's white high heels in front of it.

This place was a real poor mountain ditch. The road was not easy to walk on. Furthermore, the women in the village had to work in the fields. There weren't many women who wore high heels. These shoes were most likely Qingzhi's.

I walked over and used a torch to light up the shoes. The shoes were 80% new and were casually placed in the middle of the tunnel.

I looked into the depths of the tunnel and thought, Could Qingzhi have run deep into the hole? Could it be that the crying sound was really from her? After she heard that we had entered, she thought that there was a bad person. Because she was afraid, she ran into the hole and dropped a shoe in her panic.

Thinking about it, I looked at the thief cat and walked into the hole one after another.

This tunnel was not long. After walking for three to four minutes, I reached the end. When I reached the end, I couldn't help but curse. There was a third fork in front of me!

The Thief Cat didn't know why it was able to make such a judgment, so it directly rushed into a cave. I followed behind it, and my heart was beating fast. Why are there so many caves in Mountain Coffin? This won't do. I have to get lost! I decided in my heart that if there were any more forks ahead, I would drag the Thief Cat back even if I had to.

After walking for a while, perhaps because it had entered too deep, I felt that the cave was getting darker and darker. It wasn't the kind of dark that one couldn't see their fingers with their hands, but the dark aura. There was actually a thick black aura in the depths of the cave, so dark that it was like a dense fog. The light of the torch could not even reach three steps away, and the temperature was even lower. It wasn't that the temperature was low, but the coldness came from the bottom of one's heart, and it spread out from the inside. It was so cold that it made people suffocate, and the endless silence in the tunnel made my footsteps so abrupt that they struck my eardrums.

I calculated in my heart. The Mountain Coffin was just that big. From the moment we entered until now, we had already walked quite a long way. It should be the other way around, right? But how come we haven't reached the end yet? Could it be that this tunnel leads to another mountain? If this was really a tomb, then it was too long. What kind of great figure was buried in the tomb that would spend so much effort to build such a tomb?

As I was thinking about this, I followed the Thief Cat and ran for a while. The light got dimmer and dimmer. I looked at the torch in my hand and saw that the top of the torch was getting smaller and smaller, and the oil was about to burn out!

There was no light in the depths of the tunnel. It was undoubtedly a very depressing thing. If it was more serious, without a tool to illuminate the way, it was very likely that I would be lost in the complicated tunnel and unable to leave.

No, I can't go any further. Qingzhi, if anything happens to you, don't blame me. I have done my best.

I looked at the extinguished flame and muttered in my heart. Then, I shouted towards the front, " One thief, don't go any further. The torch is going to be extinguished. "

There was no response. The thief cat was gone!

The light of the torch in my hand could only illuminate a distance of one or two meters. The front was completely dark. There was not a single trace of light. I could not see the thief cat.

"One thief, come back quickly." I shouted again, and my voice raised a bit. The fat cat did not return. The torch was extinguished, and the tunnel was suddenly plunged into darkness. I felt as if I had fallen into ink, and I could not see anything.

My heart skipped a beat. A strong sense of fear surged through my heart.

I frantically took out the lighter from my pocket and wanted to light it up. However, the unlucky thing was that the lighter was broken. No matter how I pressed it, there was no light. In the end, I was in despair. I shouted towards the depths of the tunnel, "One thief …"

The shout still rang out in the tunnel. Because of the fear, it broke the sound. It even scared me. Was this my voice? It was hoarse, dry, and unnatural. It carried a strong sense of fear as it turned in the tunnel.

I didn't have the courage to shout a second time. I turned my head around, trembling with fear as I touched the ground. Following the path I remembered from before, I stumbled back. As I walked, I cursed the unreliable thief cat in my heart. At the same time, I was filled with hope that it would come to me quickly.

After walking in the darkness for a short while, I suddenly shivered! A strong feeling of being on tenterhooks struck me! My Spirit Sense was very sensitive since I was young. If someone was staring at me in the dark, I would definitely be able to feel it. At this moment, I was sure that there was something behind me staring at me.

What was it? Could it be the Thief Cat? Thinking about it, I took a deep breath and suddenly turned around.

Behind me was pitch black. I couldn't see the green eyes of the Thief Cat. I couldn't see anything, but that feeling was still there. I could feel that pair of eyes staring at me in the dark.

I don't know if you guys have experienced that feeling before. In a strange, dark place, you would be stared at by a mysterious and unknown existence. You couldn't see it, but you could feel it. You didn't know what its motives were, and you didn't know when it would do something that was detrimental to you.

Since I was young, I had never experienced that kind of fear. That feeling of being completely on the defensive was too depressing.

At that moment, I broke down. I turned around, like a blind man, or a madman. I ran back without caring about anything. There was a stone under my feet that tripped me. I fell into a pool of mud. I climbed up and hit the wall of the tunnel. My head was bleeding, and I took a step back to continue running. My footsteps hit the wall, and then they turned back. The entire cave was filled with messy footsteps. At that moment, there was only one thought in my heart, and that was to run out of this damn place.

After running for a long time, I suddenly bumped into something. The impact was so strong that I took a few steps back. I sat down on the ground and thought about the feeling of the thing that I bumped into. It was soft, as if it was a person.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shiver. Where did this place come from? Could it be the murderer who kidnapped Qingzhi?

The cave was too dark. I couldn't see anything. When people couldn't see, their ears became especially sensitive. I heard that the person that I bumped into was walking towards me step by step!
