From seeing it
Chapter 24 The Bottomless Abyss
Everyone stepped on the canopy, and there were thick and strong branches under their feet. The thick branches intertwined and extended, forming a giant net, which can easily bear the weight of everyone. Everyone just needs to be careful, don't Deliberately step into the gap between the occasional branches, and there is basically no need to worry about falling.
Twenty-three people climbed onto the canopy of the tree facing them one after another, and walked carefully along the canopy to the center.
After entering the underground world for so long, Sun Tao began to consider the need to save power, and asked most of them to turn off the searchlights on their helmets, leaving only a few searchlights.
The power source of the searchlight that Sun Tao originally carried in his hand was exhausted. Fortunately, he had prepared sufficient supplies and equipment, and replaced it with a spare power supply.
Along the way, everyone mainly relied on the light emitted by the high-power searchlight held by Sun Tao in his left hand to see things.
At this moment, Sun Tao was carrying a searchlight, and kept shooting around the canopy to see if there was any danger.
Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao, and looked around with the help of Sun Tao's spotlights. He stepped on the thick and strong tree branch below and felt the branch shaking slightly. He was different from others. Pale and big hand stared at him, and suddenly ventured into this kind of canopy, he was inevitably more cautious than everyone else in his heart. If the branch at the bottom of his feet suddenly broke and he fell into this bottomless abyss, he was afraid that even his bones would be smashed. There will be no left.
It is said that the more you think about it, the more you come to it. Xiao Ling was thinking about the big pale hand when he suddenly noticed that the strong beam of Sun Tao's searchlight swept forward. The huge shadow, at this moment, he could see it clearly, the shadow swept by the light beam was a terrifying big hand that was as white as paper.
Although he disappeared into the darkness in an instant, Xiao Ling was sure that he hadn't noticed, so he immediately grabbed Zhou Kesheng and took a deep breath.
"I can't go, it's dangerous there." Xiao Ling's face was a little ugly, he turned on the searchlight on his helmet, and shone toward the depths of the canopy where the big pale hand appeared just now.
Zhou Kesheng stopped and said in a low voice, "Did you see 'it' again?"
Although he couldn't see it, he firmly believed in what Xiao Ling said.
Xiao Ling nodded slowly, licked his lips, and stared at the depths of the canopy in front of him.
Under the light of the searchlight on his helmet, he could see very clearly that among the intertwined branches of trees, a big pale hand was quietly clinging to it. It's just a phantom, without substance, and even the light of a searchlight can easily penetrate it.
Zhou Kesheng raised his right hand, and the deep voice made everyone stop temporarily.
"What happened?" Sun Tao stopped first, then turned to look at Zhou Kesheng.
Zhou Kesheng shook his head at him, then whispered to Xiao Ling, "Where is it located?"
Xiao Ling pointed to the position where the big pale hand appeared.
This big pale hand can only be seen by him, and it is an illusory existence. No real object can touch it, but the supernatural power it represents seems to be real. .
When this big hand appears, there must be disasters. Xiao Ling's scalp is numb, his whole body is tense, and he is concentrating on it, ready to deal with possible accidents at any time, how dare he move forward again.
Zhou Kesheng's face was also ugly, and he frowned, saying: "This time it's troublesome, we have to go down, this is the only way, the depth of this abyss is probably more than a thousand meters, we don't have enough tools to go down by other means, we just have to go down." Can climb down this giant undead tree."
Xiao Ling took a deep breath. The depth of this abyss is at least over a thousand meters? This undead tree grew from the bottom of the abyss, which meant that the height of the undead tree was at least over a thousand meters.
Although everyone's equipment also carried some safety ropes for rock climbing, it was obviously impossible to use these ropes to descend to the abyss below a thousand meters. The only feasible way was to descend along this undead tree.
But now the big pale hand suddenly appeared in the canopy in front of the tree, which meant that some kind of disaster or danger might appear in this area at any time.
They spent a huge price this time to organize the scientific expedition team, and sacrificed two team members along the way. Now that the hope and goal are in front of them, it is impossible for everyone to give up and return.
After discussing in low voices, Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao decided to stay away from the area Xiao Ling pointed out just now as far as possible, and then circled along the edge of the canopy.
Fortunately, the area where the canopy extends is extremely wide, so as long as you don't get close to the area Xiao Ling just pointed out, there may not be any danger.
Everyone decided to make a detour. Although Xiao Ling knew there might be an accident, there was nothing he could do. He knew in his heart that he couldn't stop everyone's decision. What's more, he couldn't find the Pisces jade pendant. Go all out.
Xiao Ling was restless, always feeling that some danger was about to appear. This strong premonition made him ask Sun Tao for some self-defense weapons.
He can't passively rely on others to protect himself, he starts to think about self-protection.
Sun Tao looked at Zhou Kesheng and saw Zhou Kesheng nodding, so he gave Xiao Ling a military waist knife.
Although Xiao Ling wanted a gun, even if he didn't give him a submachine gun, he would at least give him a pistol for self-defense, but Sun Tao refused.
"If you have not received professional training, if you shoot rashly, not only will you miss the target, but you will easily accidentally injure your companions."
Sun Tao was telling the truth. He handed over the gun to a rookie who had never used a gun before. He was afraid that in the chaos, Xiao Ling would miss the target and injure other people instead, and some even shot himself in the chaos. , this is not the case.
Xiao Ling knew that Sun Tao would not give the gun to him, so he could only hold the waist knife in his hand and wave it twice. This kind of military waist knife is very sharp, and can easily cut off branches with thick wrists. It is not small in close combat. .
Holding this military waist saber in his right hand, Xiao Ling strengthened his courage and gained some confidence. With his physical ability two or three times that of ordinary people and his eyesight getting better and better, with this sharp saber, he can be regarded as certain. self-preservation ability.
After that, he followed the crowd and circled along the edge of the canopy, avoiding the area where the big pale hand appeared.
Xiao Ling shone the searchlight on the place where the big pale hand was, and found that the big hand was still silently shrouded there, motionless, like a white monster, quietly trying to devour people.
Everyone walked along the edge of the canopy, and as they stepped on it, a large number of undead mushrooms were trampled into mud, and colorful juices ooze and flow.
These colorful undead mushrooms are very soft, like mud. People walking on them must be careful not to slip. If they slip and fall on the canopy, they will easily fall into the gaps in the canopy, which increases the difficulty for everyone to travel.
