Chapter 2414: 3 crossroads
At the entrance of the cave, there are obvious traces left by friction.
Lin Ran was suddenly startled. Could the cave be the nest of some kind of animal?
After walking inside for a while, I saw two small black animals lying inside in a pool of blood.
Turn it over with a knife and it will look like two black kittens.
Could it be the cub of the black panther just now?
It was already cold when I touched it with my hand.
After walking along the cave for a while, I found that I was gradually entering the mist.
Why is there fog in the cave?
Lin Ran frowned, but it was neither retreat nor advance now.
They had to make adjustments on the spot. After 15 minutes of adjustments, they finally regained their composure.
The fog here is very thick, and the light of the flashlight cannot shine too far. Unfortunately, these people were not fully prepared and did not bring torches.
They could only slow down and move inside.
However, what made Lin Ran feel strange was that after walking for a while, he discovered that this was not a purely natural cave. There were obvious traces of artificial construction inside, the most special of which were several torches hanging on the walls.
Lin Ran took a torch off the wall, then asked Char to get a lighter, and it lit up immediately.
Because it was very cold in the mountains, the fuel inside was frozen and was preserved.
Torches not only provide lighting, but also dispel the surrounding fog.
After having the torch, the sight was indeed much better.
The other people also followed Lin Ran's example and lit torches.
This can save them battery power. After all, they don't know how many dark roads there are behind them, so they can save as much as possible.
As the torches were lit, the surrounding environment gradually became clearer.
To everyone's surprise, there were murals on the walls around them.
Both Char and Lin Ran were very surprised. Murals are usually found in ancient tombs, but they were just exploring the cave and did not see the entrance to the ancient tomb.
Lin Ran was even more surprised when he looked at the mural on the wall. Although the painting level was a bit rough, it still painted a scene of people from an ethnic group celebrating next to the flames.
It seems that the paint used in the painting is very low-grade. It should be painted directly with charcoal or black stone, so it has a sense of clumsiness.
And these little people don’t have painted faces, they just feel very awkward.
These paintings are very clumsy, probably made with charcoal or stone.
But he couldn't tell what was strange about it. Although the words were drawn in a rather sloppy way, the ancient people's words were originally of a relatively low level, especially these should be the works of foreigners.
But no matter how I look at it, it feels a bit like a ghost painting, but I can't figure out the specific reason.
Lin Ran couldn't figure it out from these paintings, so he shook his head. He shouldn't waste time because of these things.
But after seeing these paintings, everyone else turned pale with fright and muttered something in their hometown dialect, which Lin Ran didn't even understand.
After asking Char, he didn't know what they were afraid of.
Although the one-eyed dragon was frightened by his words, it could be seen from his unkind expression that he would never tell him what happened.
These paintings may have something to do with them.
Lin Ran shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts. Now is not the time to think about these things.
They had better find the main tomb chamber as soon as possible, take out the treasures inside, and see if they could lift the curse on them.
Coming to such a ghost place was no longer a question of finding protection. He had no doubt that if they left the valley like this, they would soon die inexplicably like the local archaeologists.
Lin Ran walked at the front of the team without saying a word. Although the others were a little scared, they still followed Lin Ran's footsteps.
The one-eyed dragon seemed to have something on his mind. He walked carelessly without noticing the person in front of him. He suddenly stopped and bumped into someone.
His tonnage was relatively large, and he directly knocked Lin Ran into his arms.
But he did not apologize to Lin Ran, but asked seriously: "Why did you stop??"
In his eyes, it was natural for Lin Ran to lead the way. After all, he was the only one with the reputation of being an archaeological expert here, and the others were just bodyguards.
Lin Ran smiled helplessly, and then pointed in front of him.
The one-eyed dragon instantly understood why he stopped. There was a three-way road in front of them.
Just like the Sancha River on the map.
"You choose one." The one-eyed dragon said, then he remembered something and said fiercely, "Don't try to trick us."
Already in the ancient tomb, the one-eyed dragon began to reveal his true nature.
"I don't want to die either." Lin Ran shrugged, and he stopped to observe which intersection he was going to.
However, after using the exploration method and the stone throwing method, we found that there was nothing different inside the three cave entrances.
He stopped and looked at the ground again, looking for the footprints of other people.
Char naturally knew what Lin Ran was doing, but to others, Lin Ran seemed to be perfunctorily working and deliberately stopped.
"Be serious." The one-eyed dragon said fiercely.
He was thinking about his own thoughts just now.
"I'm watching the road." Lin Ran returned helplessly. If these people didn't have weapons in their hands, he would really be too lazy to pay attention to them.
"Please hurry up," said the one-eyed dragon. "Our backpack with food has disappeared. We can't stay in here for too long and we have to get out quickly."
It can be seen that the one-eyed dragon is impatient.
Lin Ran was still observing the differences between the three cave entrances, and he couldn't hold it any longer.
He said impatiently: "How about this? Anyway, there are three roads. We divide our troops into three roads and turn back when we encounter a dead end. What do you think?"
What he said was bland, but it was clear.Others don't approve.
Because of his arrangement, the mercenaries lost three comrades before, and they didn't even know how they died.
Although they knew that death was their destination from the moment they picked up the gun, they would rather die on the battlefield so that they could have an honorary title when they went back and no longer have to suffer physical pain in the next life.
If you die at the hands of this kind of monster, you will really never be reincarnated.
So the others didn't dislike Lin Ran for helping them find the right direction, but they just felt that his speed was a bit too slow.
"It can't be like this." Char said. Among the entire team, he was the only one qualified to bargain with the one-eyed dragon.
"Why?" One-Eyed Dragon was impatient. He rubbed his hands and said impatiently.
