Seeing Benniu looking like he was not getting enough food and salt, Qin Zhibo was a little annoyed, but he could only settle for the next best thing.

"Even if you can't send us in, you can always take us to that entrance, right?"

"As long as we can come out alive after entering, and we can tell you something about the underground, isn't this a worthless business for you?"

Qin Zhibo's words made Benniu think for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I can take you near the entrance."

"When will you leave?"

"Just tomorrow."

Qin Zhibo said.

…

The next day, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi put on all their equipment and headed to the entrance of another passage in a running bull pickup truck.

The other passage is not on the plain, but in the valley at the end of the plain, about 40 kilometers south of Binge Town.

The pickup truck bumped for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the valley on the edge of the plain.

According to Benniu, this was also the place where Indians lived hundreds of years ago. Later, due to some reasons, people moved to live on the plains.

Under the leadership of Ben Niu, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi went deep into a steep valley.

There are lush trees growing in the valley, and the lush scenery is completely different from the red clay plain outside.

Standing on the hillside, Benniu stretched out his hand and pointed toward the bottom of the valley.

"That entrance is somewhere at the bottom of the valley."

"I don't know exactly where it is, so I have to rely on you to find it yourself."

Qin Zhibo and Benniu discussed the meeting place after returning, and then parted ways with Benniu. He and Koizumi Hongzi went deep into the valley bottom, while Benniu walked back along the hillside alone.

There are almost no traces of human activity in this valley, so there are no roads. Qin Zhibo, who must walk in front, constantly opens up roads with a short knife.

Koizumi Hongzi followed with difficulty, and after a while, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

For this young lady who has been pampered since birth, such a primitive road is naturally a great test.

And after going deep underground, I still don’t know what kind of environment I will face.

When they were at the hotel yesterday, Qin Zhibo tried to dispel the idea of ​​going down to the mysterious abyss with her.

There must be a narrow escape from death in that place. He should be able to learn magic and so on. Knowledge can be passed on, and he can teach it to her after he comes out.

But Koizumi Hongzi said very firmly that she must go down.

"It's not just about magic, it's about mom..."

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo couldn't say anything else.

…

The two came to the bottom of the valley and kept searching among the lush trees.

In the end, Koizumi Hongzi was the first to discover an unusual place.

It is an entrance hidden among several huge blocks of sandstone. It is extremely narrow at first and only then is it accessible to people.

There are some traces of carvings remaining on the surface of the sandstone next to the entrance. There were once some patterns on it, but they have now been eroded by rain and are unrecognizable.

In addition, there are traces of drilling holes on the sandstone used as the lintel, suggesting that there was once a hinged door here.

"It seems like this is it."

Qin Zhibo's inner intuition was very certain that this was the entrance to the underground world - Kunyang.

Koizumi Hongzi reached out and touched the carvings on the sandstone with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

The two of them checked their equipment one last time and made sure it was enough for a week's adventure in the underground world before stepping into the unknown entrance.

Compared with the narrow entrance of the cave, the passage inside is wider than the entrance of the cave itself.

After walking through a naturally formed path of original sandstone, the cave was transformed into an artificial tunnel made of stone slabs.

After endless years, these stone slabs have been severely corroded in the humid air, and they make the sound of gravel rubbing when you step on them.

On the walls on both sides of the stone road and on the ceiling, there are some disgusting and grotesque pictures, most of which have been preserved.

Using the light of searchlights, the two discovered that the subjects of these patterns were a snake-shaped lizard man and an octopus-headed monster.

Qin Zhibo looked at the octopus-headed monster. The bloated image sat on the base with evil intentions, and he immediately remembered what it was.

Cthulhu.

Are there also followers of Cthulhu in this place?

Qin Zhibo couldn't believe it. Could it be those Innsmouth people below?

Koizumi Hongzi recognized where the image of the snake-headed lizard man next to her came from.

"This should be 'Yinger', the father of snakes."

"This is a very evil god. Legend has it that he once cursed those half-snake people who did not believe in him."

From here on, the two of them gradually began to feel the evil and weirdness here.

The tunnel in the darkness extends diagonally downward in a certain direction without a trace, somewhat similar to the stairs in a dreamland, but there are no steps here, all are slopes.

If you accidentally fall, you will most likely slide down the slope.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo, the leader, was very careful and did not rush to catch up.

Mr. Clock said that if you wait for yourself in front, you will definitely wait for yourself.

After all, the two are "friends"...

…

After walking downward for more than three hours, Qin Zhibo finally felt some changes in the air quality around him.

Although I didn't have difficulty breathing during the journey just now, I could smell a rotten smell floating in the air, even in the huge cave I passed on the way.

But gradually, the deeper underground where carbon dioxide should be deposited, Qin Zhibo felt an unprecedented fresh smell in the air.

It was at this time that the tunnel finally ushered in a turning point, changing from a downhill road to an uphill step.

As Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi stepped through the roughly carved stone steps, the light of the searchlight with sufficient power became dim.

At the top of the steps, there is a huge stone door.

Passing through the stone gate, the view suddenly opens up.
