Chapter 173 Lurking
This is the seaside.
He almost didn't think about it, because the sound of waves of this volume, except for the sea, probably few big rivers and lakes can reach it.
The salty smell in the air also verified this point.
He didn't see his teammates for the time being.
It was not clear whether the fat man at home had followed.
In an unfamiliar environment, whether it was shouting or walking aimlessly, it was fatal. Although the mission had just begun, Jiang Cheng still crouched down and hid in the dark.
This building was very strange. From his perspective, the dome was very high, at least the naked eye could not penetrate the thin darkness to peek, and there were steep walls like rock walls all around.
The reason why it was not a rock wall was that it could be seen that someone had carved it, and the regular and smooth marble blocks exposed in some places also confirmed this.
The surroundings were full of collapsed stone pillars, the smaller ones were as thick as thighs, and the larger ones required two people to hug together.
A big part of the reason why Jiang Cheng didn't move was because of these collapsed stone pillars. Some of them seemed to have fallen from a very high position and broke into pieces.
The broken stones covered Jiang Cheng's side. As long as he moved, there would be a "clattering" sound.
Jiang Cheng had a hunch that there should be more than one person in this strange building.
There were also people hiding in the darkness.
Whether it was an enemy or a friend, Jiang Cheng was ready to be the last person to show up.
His eyes slowly swept across the darkness nearby.
It was not absolutely accurate to say that it was dark. The darkness here was not the kind of darkness that was pitch black. Until Jiang Cheng's eyes gradually adapted to the environment here, he found that the darkness here was more like a thin layer of fog.
Because the fog was a light black, so
He slowly waved his hand, and the black fog in front of him strangely dispersed a little, and then he saw the stone pillar lying under his feet.
It was clear.
The stone pillar was densely carved with incomprehensible patterns, and the top part broke off and fell to his side. It was a Jiang Cheng frowning slightly.
Wind erosion and water infiltration had caused the carving to lose its original appearance, and he could only see a vague outline.
He could only say that it should be a creature.
At least the carver wanted to carve it into the appearance of a creature.
But Jiang Cheng didn't recognize it.
It had fish scales, but also wings, and a sharp tail like a spear behind it.
What the hell is this thing?
The last time Jiang Cheng saw such a thing was in a so-called mobile game. He opened an alien beast egg and got a strange thing, and then thought it was too ugly, so he decisively abandoned it.
"Crack--"
It was a very abrupt sound, which caught Jiang Cheng off guard.
He immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and a crack of light appeared there.
Then, the crack of light became larger and larger.
Jiang Cheng immediately closed one eye and looked at the position of the crack of light with only one eye.
He needed to let his eyes adapt slowly so that there would not be a blind spot period where both eyes were dazzled at the same time.
Soon, he realized that the place where the light was on was a door.
The light gap was because someone outside was pushing it.
"This door is so heavy," a familiar voice sounded. Although it sounded full of energy and even a bit of banditry, Jiang Cheng knew very well that this person was pretending.
He was actually a very cowardly fat man.
The moment the door was completely opened, the building became much brighter, the gray fog was driven away, and Jiang Cheng, who was against the light, slowly stood up.
"Someone!"
Someone shouted, it sounded a little sharp, but it was an out-and-out male voice.
The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Cheng, he opened his mouth, and obviously had lip shape "doctor".
But then he seemed to realize something, slowly retracted his excited expression, and looked at Jiang Cheng as if he were a stranger.
Everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Cheng who appeared, and no one paid attention to him.
It seems that these are the teammates for this mission.
Jiang Cheng looked at several people.
But why was he always the last one to be found by the team?
Like an orphan.
Just as he took a step forward and was about to join the team, his entire movement paused for a moment, and he heard a sound different from the waves.
Very close! Very close!
Right behind him!!
He immediately turned around, and a handsome young man stood by the stone pillar behind him, about the same age as him, or even one or two years younger than him.
After realizing that he was discovered, the young man nodded to Jiang Cheng, and then smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't scare you."
The young man had a few strands of flowing and fine long hair on his forehead, and his eyes looked at Jiang Cheng through the gaps in the hair, and his gentle face was full of politeness.
Just like a young man of noble birth thousands of years ago.
The clothes on his body were also similar. He should be a lover of ancient costumes. Although the clothes on his body were ironed and fit, they revealed a sense of agility and elegance.
"Not bad." Jiang Cheng said calmly.
The young man who got Jiang Cheng's answer seemed to have been forgiven. He let out a long breath, then nodded to Jiang Cheng apologetically, and then looked in the direction of the fat man and others.
Jiang Cheng looked at the side of the young man, where there was a huge stone pillar.
When he first came here, he carefully observed the surroundings, and only after confirming that there was no danger on his side did he study the stone pillars and stone sculptures in front of him.
At that time, he noticed the stone pillar behind him.
There was no one around at the time.
So Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and this young man might have sneaked up behind him.
Taking advantage of the sound of the waves.
Step by step, he sneaked up behind him.
The fat man and his men had already come over.
Including Jiang Cheng and the young man, there were a total of 8 people on this mission.
Perhaps it was because they needed to be matched, 4 men and 4 women, and one of them was a man who was probably more than 2 meters tall.
The man stood behind a girl dressed as a lolita, and the girl was just at his waist.
From the fat man and his men, we learned that there was the sea outside, and this strange building stood about 100 meters from the coast.
There were no buildings around, and it was all alone.
Behind the building was a steep rock wall on one side and an endless forest on the other.
In other words, if you want to leave here, you can either climb up the cliff, cross the forest, or make a boat and try your luck in the sea.
Jiang Cheng looked at one of the dark and thin women and asked, "What happened to you?"
Although the woman looked thin, she should be in good physical condition, but at this moment her whole body was covered with tiny scratches, and some parts were still bleeding.
"I want to climb up the cliff to see the surroundings," the woman did not hide it.
Obviously, she failed.
"The rock walls around here are too eroded by the sea breeze, and many places can't bear the force at all," the woman said, looking out the door.
