The clanging sound was a little messy, sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes long, and sometimes short. It sounded like a child was banging on a gong, rushing towards Zuo Zhicheng and the others.
But this was a space more than five hundred meters underground. How could there be a child? How could there be a gong?
Shen Anan frowned and said, "Did we trigger some kind of mechanism?"
"It doesn't seem like it," Zuo Zhicheng said, "If it was triggered, why didn't it trigger the first time I came down?"
"Could it be caused by the flying sword in the water?" Qing Yueqiu said.
Li Xunyi answered, "I walked along the angle of the stone wall all the way. I didn't feel like I touched anything."
"Don't make wild guesses." Zuo Zhicheng stared at the top of the stone wall, "No matter what it is, it's running towards us, and it's getting faster and faster."
Zuo Zhicheng was right. The clanging sounds that reached everyone's ears became more and more intense, more and more urgent. It was as if they were knocking on their hearts, causing them to be uncontrollably nervous.
"The three of you hide behind me," Zuo Zhicheng said, "Hurry up and get the flying sword up." Now that Li Xunyi's flying sword was still under the water, they could only rely on Zuo Zhicheng to be the main force.
Li Xunyi, Qing Yueqiu, and Shen Anan hid behind Zuo Zhicheng. The four of them looked at the dark tunnel nervously, listening to the clanging sound that was getting louder and louder. As the rhythm became more and more intense, the intensity of the clanging sound became lower and lower.
Finally, when the rapid clanging sound reached its limit, the clanging sound suddenly disappeared.
The sudden disappearance of the clanging sound made everyone even more nervous. It was as if an invisible beast was spying on them in the dark.
The next moment, a silver light suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Under the illumination of Zuo Zhicheng's light, a machete fell from mid-air. Zuo Zhicheng was the first to react. He leaped up and jumped towards the stone wall, grabbing the machete with one hand.
Obviously, the sound just now was the sound of the machete falling all the way down the tunnel and hitting the stone wall. As for the rhythm of the impact, it was naturally caused by the smaller the impact was, and the faster the speed of the fall was.
Zuo Zhicheng jumped back to the stone platform. He looked at the machete in his hand and frowned.
Shen Anan and Qing Yueqiu also came up, while Li Xunyi was still controlling the flying sword..
The two of them saw the machete in Zuo Zhicheng's hand and said, "Why did a machete fall?"
"Could it be that Ah Hu, that brat, threw it down?" Shen An 'an said angrily, "Is that brat crazy? He scared me to death. . and isn't he afraid of smashing us? "
Zuo Zhicheng looked at the machete in his hand and said, "Ah Hu doesn't look like someone who would joke about this." He pointed at the blade of the machete. "And look at the blade of this machete."
There were several notches on the blade at the places Zuo Zhicheng pointed at.
Zuo Zhicheng analyzed. "These machetes are new ones I asked Lin Yuexi to get from the Shadow Corps. They have never been used before. Along the way, we have not used these machetes in battle except for cutting trees and grass.
The notches on the blade are obviously different from the ones used to cut trees and grass. They have been used to fight with other sharp weapons. "
In reality, as long as a sword was used to fight with other swords, there would naturally be notches. Qing Yueqiu and Shen Anan understood this very well. They looked at the notches on the machete with suspicion.
Qing Yueqiu was puzzled. "But who is Ah Hu fighting with? If he wants to fight, why would he throw the machete down? "
Zuo Zhicheng analyzed calmly. "Judging from the notches on the machete, the person fighting with him must be using some kind of sharp weapon. If he threw the machete down during the fight, excluding coincidence and carelessness, it means that he wanted to warn us, but he had no other choice but to throw the machete down. "
"Then let's go up quickly." Shen Anan said, "If those people still want to attack us from the entrance, we will be at a disadvantage at the bottom of the cave."
"I will go up first," Zuo Zhicheng thought for a while and said, "You guys stay here and wait for Li Xunyi to get the flying sword."
"Why? What if they attack us one by one? "
Zuo Zhicheng said, "You and Qing Yueqiu are too weak in close combat and breakthrough. If you go up with me, it will be easy for you to be attacked. It is better to wait here with Li Xunyi and retrieve the flying sword first." Until now, Zuo Zhicheng's tone still revealed a trace of bone-deep calmness.
"With my body movement, ordinary attacks will not work." Zuo Zhicheng calmly analyzed the situation. "And it will be faster if I go up alone. Ah Hu is probably in an emergency. We have to hurry up."
"As for here, at least for now, there is no danger here. You two stay here. After Li Xunyi gets the flying sword, stay here and wait for my news."
Although Qing Yueqiu and Shen Anan were a little afraid of the surrounding environment, they knew that Zuo Zhicheng's words made sense, so they had to nod. They took out the torches and fuel they had prepared before and started to light the fire. After all, if Zuo Zhicheng left, they would have no human light bulbs.
Then, Zuo Zhicheng leaped into the air. His entire body was so fast that it was as if he was leaving a black line behind him. He quickly climbed up the stone wall. In the process of moving forward, in order to hide his tracks, he naturally turned off the light on his body.
His whole body became darker and darker, almost blending into the darkness of the tunnel, turning into a dark ghost. From time to time, he flashed on the stone wall, leaving a long whistling sound in the air.
The speed at which he kept using Shadow Flash was much faster than the speed at which he descended and ascended several times before.
However, after climbing for less than two hundred meters, he heard another clanking sound in the air. With his night vision, he could clearly see that several machetes, ropes, food, tents, and other equipment had fallen to the ground.
Zuo Zhicheng barely dodged a few of them, grabbed a few more machetes and spiritual food, and then he was powerless. After all, he only had two hands, and it was impossible for him to catch everything.
"Damn it." Zuo Zhicheng's eyes flashed with anger when he saw his backpack being thrown down. He did not care about the backpack and equipment behind him. In the dark, he stomped on the ground and ran towards the entrance of the cave again.
When he was about to reach the last hundred meters, he had to slow down because he was about to reach the area where the moss was. But in this way, the whistling sound in the air disappeared, and it also concealed his figure very well.
