The expedition had just begun, and they had already suffered heavy casualties and paid a heavy price, even though Marsson had made preparations in advance to deal with the chains in the dark.
But now, such heavy casualties have still been caused. Such a horrifying result is really hard for the hopeful members to accept.
One of them held his head, tears streaming down his face. “I promised James that I would go back to my hometown with him and taste the apple pie his wife made in the small town! But now he’s dead… Maybe I should have listened to Mr. Protagonist a long time ago. I shouldn’t have come down here and watched him die!”
His voice reached the ears of others and resonated with everyone.
They are used to life and death, and are all mercenaries and ruthless people who have retired from the battlefield.
But when death is just a line away from them, who can truly guarantee that they can treat life and death indifferently?
This well is truly a hell on earth!
There are no treasures here, only an endless hell.
They had only been in the well for half an hour, and there had been so many casualties. In addition to the strange and easy chains, there were also those weird green snakes.
No one cared what it was anymore, the only thought in their minds was to escape.
But when they raised their heads and saw Maarsen's cold profile, no one dared to speak their mind.
Because they could see that Maarsen would never easily withdraw from this expedition!
For Maarsen, what he wants to pursue may only be encountered once in his life!
He would rather die here than give up halfway.
Brother Chongzi knows this best!
At that time, in the Count's palace under the Alps, everyone saw the resurrected corpses and chose to escape.
But only Maarsen rushed forward!
Therefore, Malson chose to remain silent. In his opinion, even if he survived those disasters, if he showed fear and retreated, he would face a more cruel Malson.
Malson didn't urge anyone, but just sat there looking at the eye-like tattoo on the palm of his hand!
This is not a tattoo he asked someone to do on his palm just to look cool, but it is a tattoo he was born with, representing the symbol of his family responsibility.
He couldn't help but think of what the protagonist had said to her at the wellhead.
But now, he has no choice!
"Everyone take a ten-minute break, we need to continue exploring inside!"
Maarsen gave the order coldly, suppressing his fear and inner complexity!
The calmness and indifference towards life returned to those eyes once again.
He has witnessed too many deaths and too much helplessness. Instead of spending his life in torture and ideological struggle, he might as well give it a chance.
"Resurrection from the dead, I will definitely find it! This land can accommodate such an excessive ideal."
Brother Chongzi looked at Maersen's expression and opened his mouth: "Mr. Maersen...we..."
Halfway through his words, Marson looked at him calmly: "I know what you want to say, but I only have this one chance. You only have this one chance too. Do you really choose to say it?"
Brother Chongzi straightened up, but the surging emotions in his heart could not withstand the murderous intent in Maarson's eyes.
He gritted his teeth and stood up again: "Don't be afraid or scared anymore, stand up, we have to continue exploring and find a way to survive."
Several people had to pull themselves together and slowly stand up from the ground.
Following this dark cave, several people relied on the light of the Wolf Eye flashlight to carefully identify the dangers around them. Fortunately, although there were traces of human excavation around, there were no signs of traps.
They walked forward safely until a huge portal carved entirely of white marble appeared before them.
This huge door is as high as the entire cave!
There are very gorgeous carvings on it, shining silvery-white light under the light, and it is not transparent, which shows that this door is very heavy!
"Bug, what's drawn on this?"
Marsson looked at it for a long time without figuring out what was going on, so he called Brother Chongzi.
Brother Chongzi took a flashlight and looked carefully.
"It seems to be depicting a sacrificial ceremony. You see, it is filled with many dragon-shaped patterns, which represent totems and positive information, that is, it means that inside this door, there may be the end of faith. And these people send all kinds of sacrifices into this door! These sixteen people, with different postures, are not they the statues we saw outside?"
After hearing what Brother Chongzi said, Marson frowned.
"They offer sacrifices, even to themselves? What are they doing?"
"Their purpose is not written on the door, there are only many dragon carvings. Perhaps they are praying to a certain god to fulfill their wishes. As far as I know, there are various sayings, taboos, and complicated relationships between life and death in this land. Maybe these people are using themselves as sacrifices to ensure that their descendants will have a better life."
Brother Chongzi explained, and then asked someone to push the door!
But they pushed hard a few times, and the white jade carved door showed no signs of being opened. They tried to pull it instead, and tied a rope between the gaps in the carvings, but it still did not budge.
"There must be something blocking this door!"
Brother Chongzi is an expert and knows a lot about this kind of tomb-like door sealing.
The people next to them had flickering eyes. Maybe the door was blocked and they could leave.
Maarsen thought about it carefully and said, "This kind of jade is not tough and is easier to be blown apart than ordinary stones. Let's just use explosives."
Brother Bug blinked!
He actually wanted to explain to Marson that there might be a trap behind the stone door. If it were the original Marson, he might not be so impatient.
But after the previous danger, Marsson seemed more eager to see everything hidden inside the cave.
There is no longer any worry about whether the use of explosives will cause a chain reaction in the surrounding area.
After all, when we went down the well, we saw the stone walls fixed with bronze and knew that this place was probably not stable.
But now Maarsen no longer cares about the consequences!
His urgency and impatience made people feel as if a stone was pressing on their hearts, and they felt under tremendous pressure.
Brother Chongzi withdrew his gaze, and in his heart he basically understood Maarson's purpose.
So he made a gesture to the people behind him!
The member nodded, took out the directional explosives from his backpack, measured the length and width of the stone door and the stress points from the side, and chose to place the explosives at the lower corner of the stone door.
Then set a countdown and let everyone retreat immediately. ?
