Tales of the Strange works

Chapter 23

    

ay, a group of people huddled and crawled inside.Because it was inconvenient, we didn't bring flashlights when we crawled inside. Each of us had a headlamp for illumination, which felt a bit like doin...We're burning the leaves and branches from the pit. Some of them aren't dry yet, so the fire isn't very strong, but it's making a lot of smoke.

I covered my nose with a cloth and said, "Alright, Third Brother There was quite a big fire just now."

">

After half an hour, most of the clay pot was blackened. Yao Wenci poked it with a stick this time, but didn't bring up any corpse fairy.

"It should work, who goes first" the boss asked in a low voice.

"Me! I'll go!" Sun Lao San gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go down first to scout the way for you. Big Brother Wan is just downstairs."

I can also save him.

He leaned against the edge of the tank and first tested the depth with his leg.

"Not very deep, it seems like it's right next to the ground."

Suddenly.

Suddenly, a sound of rubble collapsing echoed down, and Lao San Sun exclaimed in surprise!

"Got you! Don't move! Lao San, I got you this time! Yunfeng, come help!"

I rushed over and grabbed Sun Lao San's other arm. When the Yao siblings saw what was happening, they also ran over to help. With everyone pulling together, we managed to drag Sun Lao San back up onto solid ground.

"What's going on, Lao San!"

Lao San Sun was dragged up by us. He said in a trembling voice, "Good... Good luck, it must have been a collapse."

Yaoyumen shone his flashlight downwards. Under the clay pot, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Sun Lao San wouldn't give up. He suggested tying a rope and sliding down.

We didn't know how deep it was, so we tied a climbing rope around his waist.

I held onto the rope tightly with my boss.

"Third brother, be careful! If anything feels wrong, shout loudly and we'll pull you up immediately!"

Sun Laosan nodded with his headlamp.

He slid down the large cylinder a little at a time.

Two meters, three meters, five meters, the rope quickly reached ten meters.

Yao Yumen frowned and said, "Could it be a subterranean palace down there How could it be so deep"

">

Finally, when the climbing rope was lowered to eighteen meters, it stopped moving. It seemed that Sun Lao San at the bottom had reached the end.

The big boss couldn't hold back any longer, after all, his own younger brother was the one who went missing in the pit.

"Talking about light on the surface, guessing about light on the surface, what use is that! If there were a major earthquake in ancient times, sinking eighteen meters wouldn't be impossible!"

"You guys hold the rope, I'll go down and look for Lao San," Sun Lao Da coiled the rope back up and began to wind it around his waist.

"I'm fine, big brother! Come down and have a look quickly, my god! I've never seen anything like this!" A loud voice from below could be heard, it was Sun Lao San.

Then, several people slid down one after another. I was the third from last, followed by Yao's siblings at the end.

My grip isn't very strong, and my hand hurts from gripping the climbing rope tightly.

The hole was very dark. Halfway down, I looked up.

On the inner wall below the hole, there were a few flattened beetles crawling. These were the carrion beetles that had not been burned to death just now. As soon as my light shone on them, these beetles stopped moving.

After giving a warning to the Yao siblings above, I grabbed the rope and slowly slid down.

Next came Yao Yumen, and lastly Yao Wen Ce. When Yao Wen Ce came down, he put a loop around the rope and tied it to the big jar, saying that we would need it to climb back up.e poured a little something into the palms of each of us.Raising his hand to the tip of his nose, Sun Lao San said: "Take a deep breath, inhale through your nose."">He took the lead."Achoo!""Damn, tha...
