Chapter 89: Ghost Wall, Paper Stone

Wu Qing asked excitedly: "Fat Master, can you tell us more about it?"

The fat man was in high spirits and smiled proudly: "Okay, which part do you want to hear?"

"Listen to that snake demon?! Is there really a half-human, half-demon monster in the world like you said?"

"I want to hear you talk about that Jiaolong! My God, the dragon, that's the ancestor of us Dragon people!"

"Listen to that thousand-year-old zombie! What is a zombie?!"

Xu Feng's heart moved after hearing this.

It seems that no one in this world has ever heard of zombies.

Is it because zombies really exist?
Or is there another reason?
Everyone made suggestions, and finally the fat man made the decision: "Well, let me tell you the story of the dragon snake first."

"We went to the border to visit some fellow villagers. Lao Hu had been stationed there before and had a very good relationship with the fellow villagers..."

Everyone walked down the stairs while listening to the fat man telling stories.

It’s no wonder that this fat guy has a talent for storytelling.

The story goes that they were searching for an ancient tomb, were accidentally chased by a dragon and snake, hid in a cave, and then broke into a military base.

It turned out to be a story about them going to visit their fellow villagers, going up the mountain to hunt, and accidentally entering the primitive jungle, where they encountered a giant snake and fought with the serpent for three hundred rounds.

The plot is full of ups and downs, thrills and excitement, and the fat man is good at creating an atmosphere.

Everyone listened with great interest.

We walked like this for more than ten minutes.

Xu Feng's face suddenly froze, and then he shouted, "Fatty, shut up!"

The fat man, who was talking in his sleep, was startled: "What's wrong? Young Master Xu!"

"Don't you realize that there's something wrong with this staircase?"

Xu Feng's face looked a little ugly.

The others looked up and down the stairs and at the walls on both sides.

"No."

“Nothing feels wrong.”

"Master Xu, are you thinking too much?"

Xu Feng: "Didn't you notice that we have been walking for more than ten minutes and are still on the stairs?"

"More than ten minutes. If we go down the stairs, at the speed we were going, it will be enough for us to get down to at least the 30th floor of the building."

"A thirty-story building is at least a hundred meters high."

"But there's still a bottomless staircase in front of us! Is this normal?!"

Everyone was immediately shocked.

"We've been walking for more than ten minutes?!"

"I was so busy listening to Fatty's story that I didn't pay attention to the time."

"It's over, are we going to run into the legendary ghost wall?" Old Hu also came over: "Young Master Xu, is it really a ghost wall?!"

Xu Feng shook his head: "I don't know either."

"In fact, the so-called ghost wall refers to the wall ladder in the ancient trap. This is the pinnacle of the wisdom of the ancients. The highly skilled tomb builders will use the Qimen Dunjia to deliberately create visual errors in some locations to affect your judgment. They make you think that you are constantly walking down the stairs, but in fact the exit is right next to you."

"People who don't know the ropes might get trapped to death in the stairs."

He thought of the Hanging Soul Ladder in Ghost Blows Out the Light.

Did they come across this?!

"But this cemetery is quite strange. I don't know if it's caused by ghosts."

In Ghost Blows Out the Light, Lao Hu and Fatty encountered the Hanging Soul Ladder in the Longling Labyrinth. In the end, Lao Hu calculated the way out based on the Yin-Yang Bagua and jumped down to escape.

But this staircase.

There are walls on both sides, not cliffs.

It’s different from the one in Longling Mystery Cave.

"Well, I'll keep going forward, and you guys wait here for me to see if I'll appear from behind you."

Xu Feng thought about it and said.

He wanted to try whether this was the Hanging Soul Ladder.

"Why did you appear behind us when you moved forward and backward?"

The fat man asked curiously.

"I suspect this is some kind of lost mechanism. If I'm right, I'll be behind you if I keep going forward."

Xu Feng replied.

Everyone was suddenly horrified.

"How can it be?!"

“If it’s what I guessed, you’ll know if you try it.

"Master Xu, I'll accompany you then."

The fat man said.

Xu Feng shook his head: "You and Lao Hu stay here. If anything happens, you two are the pillars of support."

After saying that, he took the flashlight and was about to set off.

Unexpectedly, Coco suddenly said, "I'll go with you!"

"you?!"

Xu Feng frowned: "Why are you following?"

CoCo: "I also want to see what this legendary ghost wall is all about."

Xu Feng thought about it and felt that it would be nice to have someone to accompany him.

Still a beautiful girl.

"Okay, then you'd better follow me and don't get lost."

"Hmph, mind your own business!"

The two began to walk down the stairs.

No words were spoken during the conversation.

After walking for about two or three minutes, it was still pitch black ahead.

He turned his head to take a look and was startled.

Even after walking so far, he could still see the figures of Fatty and the others, as well as the lights in their hands.

Isn't this staircase curved?
A straight line?!
How can it be!

Isn't this the Hanging Soul Ladder? !

Just an ordinary staircase? !
If that's the case, then based on his speed just now, he must have walked down at least a hundred meters. Adding what he walked before, wouldn't he have gone deep into the ground?
Coco saw that he suddenly stopped and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

He raised his hand to indicate that he was fine.

After thinking for a while, he shouted to the fat man again: "Stand still, I'll go down and take a look."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

The fat man over there seemed to have heard his words and also raised his hand and waved his arms. But strangely, no one could hear his voice.

Xu Feng didn't think much about it and continued walking down.

He wanted to see how deep this damn place could go.

Seeing this, CoCo didn't ask any more questions and just followed him.

This time he walked for more than ten minutes at a stretch.

He didn't stop until Coco stopped, shook her hands and said she couldn't go on.

He secretly counted the steps. There were more than 600 of them. Assuming that each step was centimeters high, steps were equivalent to more than meters.

In other words, including what happened just now, he has already gone more than 700 meters underground.

"Something's wrong!"

"It's impossible for the temperature to be this high over 700 meters underground." "It's impossible for Sun En to build a staircase that goes hundreds of meters underground."

"But this isn't the Hanging Soul Ladder, so what's going on?"

“It feels like it’s never going to end.”

"Could it be that this is really a ghost wall!?"

Xu Feng looked back.

As a result, a scene that made him shudder appeared.

He could still see the fat man and the light in his hand, but they had become extremely vague, as if they were very far away.

Xu Feng immediately realized that something was wrong.

Even if it was a straight road, it would be impossible to see the lights more than 700 meters away in such a dark corridor.

"What's wrong?!"

Exhausted Coco asked when she noticed that he looked different.

Xu Feng pointed at the light and said, “Look.

CoCo took a look and said, "I saw it. What's wrong?"

Xu Feng rolled his eyes and then told her his analysis.

Coco suddenly panicked.

"Hey, don't scare me. Didn't you say this was a mechanism? Have we run into something unclean again?!"

Xu Feng smiled bitterly: "It turns out that I guessed wrong."

"Now what?!"

"What else can we do? Let's go back and reunite with them first."

CoCo's expression suddenly changed.

"You mean, we have to climb more than 3,000 steps to get back?!"

Xu Feng looked at her with amusement: "You chose to come here yourself, you can't blame others. If you can't leave, just stay here."

Coco immediately hugged his arm and smiled awkwardly: "You won't really leave me here alone, will you?"

"If you don't want to stay here, just crawl back!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back.

Coco hurried to follow.

As a result, after climbing less than a hundred steps, she sat on the ground and cried, saying that she could not walk anymore.

"I say, your physical strength is too poor! We have only climbed less than 100 steps, and you can't climb anymore?"

"Xu Feng! Do you think everyone is a monster like you? I've been walking for more than ten minutes. Do you think it's easy to go down more than three thousand steps?"

Xu Feng thought about it and suddenly felt that what she said made sense.

Don't think that going down the stairs is easy.

Going down the stairs will increase the burden on the knees. Going down the stairs excessively for a long time may cause major tissue damage in the knees.

"What should we do? We can't let you rest for a while after you climb more than a hundred steps? That would take too much time."

CoCo was a little embarrassed: "I didn't want to do this, but you said that this might be a trap and we would appear behind them, so I wanted to follow and see if it was true."

“Who knew it would be so far and such a long staircase!”

Xu Feng thought about how she had injured her arm while saving him. He hesitated for a moment and finally sighed.

Then he squatted in front of Coco, with his back to her: "Come on up, I'll carry you."

CoCo immediately laughed and said, "How can this be so embarrassing?!"

Although she said this, she had already climbed onto Xu Feng's back.

Xu Feng stood up with her on his back and sighed, "I shouldn't have let you follow me."

CoCo put her arm around his neck and said with a smile, "You should actually thank me. Otherwise, it's so dark here and you would definitely be scared by yourself."

Xu Feng sneered: "I am afraid of the dark? Do you think I am you?"

"If a person stays in darkness for a long time, he will be afraid. This is a normal psychological reaction."

"Huh, I told you, I can't."

"Tsk, you are such a face-saver. Hey, are all of you men particularly face-savvy? You would rather suffer a loss than lose face?"

"That's called man's dignity!"

"In the end, you're just too concerned about your reputation. Are you like this in front of your girlfriend as well?"

"Girlfriend? Which one are you talking about?"

"Wow, you have several girlfriends?"

"I don't have a girlfriend, but it's true that several girls are chasing me."

"What a stinker!"

"Why would I lie to you? I'm considering whether to take them all in."

"Bah, scumbag!"

It’s no wonder that even the boring task of climbing stairs isn’t so tiring when there’s someone to talk to.

After just over half an hour of climbing.

Xu Feng let go of Coco in despair.

Although he was chatting with Coco, he was also counting in his mind. In more than half an hour, he climbed more than 5,000 steps. With a person on his back, even his strong physique made his legs sore from exhaustion.

But the fat man and the light were still very small.

It felt like he had climbed the stairs for more than half an hour in vain, and the distance between him and the fat man did not get any closer.

"Fatty, can you hear me? Say something back!"

Xu Feng shouted loudly.

As a result, the sound only lasted for a moment and then disappeared quickly.

Xu Feng suddenly felt a little palpitated.

This kind of straight staircase is completely enclosed. Under normal circumstances, if someone shouts as loudly as he did, the sound will echo through the walls and can be heard very far away, and the sound will be very loud.

But his shouting just now seemed as if he was in an independent space. The sound only echoed in this space and could not be transmitted out at all.

"It can't be so weird, there must be some reason."

Xu Feng shouted loudly again, but the result was the same as before.

He pounded his fist on the wall next to him in annoyance.

how so? !

What went wrong?!

I remember saying hello to the fat guy before.
and many more.

Xu Feng suddenly remembered that the fat man seemed to be just waving at that time and did not hear his voice.

His mouth was open.

But his voice was not heard.

In other words... the sound was restricted at that time?
So the fat man didn't hear his own voice, but saw himself waving, so he waved in response.

Is it
Xu Feng's gaze shifted to the wall beside him.

Ok?
He saw that the wall that he had just hammered hard seemed to have some cracks.

Xu Feng immediately took out his Ghost Sword and scraped it on the wall, scraping off a layer of paint-like surface.

Under the surface is a huge piece of stone.

The stone was covered with densely packed small holes. Xu Feng gently stabbed the Ghost Sword and it actually penetrated several centimeters.

Even Xu Feng was shocked.

But soon, he discovered that it was not that the Ghost Sword was sharp, but that the material of the stone was very soft.
