Chapter 3373 Go down and take a look first

A group of us walked towards the direction of the sinkhole that suddenly appeared. Along the way, we could always see some animal corpses. Sometimes, birds flying in the air would fall directly to the ground and die on the spot when they flew near the sinkhole.

Apart from us, there was no living creature to be seen. Even the plants had become crystallized. The closer we got to the tiankeng, the more obvious this situation became. The plants were all glowing with a faint blue light, and when the wind blew, they even made sounds like wind chimes. This was a strange situation that we had never encountered before.

It seems that there may be a great horror hidden in this tiankeng, which makes me feel very uneasy.

Only the unknown can make people feel truly fearful, because no one can predict what will happen next, and even no one is sure what is in the sinkhole.

A large group of us approached the tiankeng cautiously.

When we got closer, we realized that this sinkhole was really big, almost as big as two football fields, and it seemed to be still expanding, with broken soil and rocks constantly falling from the edge into the sinkhole.

I took a look down at the sinkhole and felt a little dizzy. The sinkhole was bottomless and there was mist in the middle. We were standing at the top, but it felt like we were standing on the top of a mountain with a sea of ​​clouds below us.

Looking at this bottomless sinkhole, everyone's faces looked unhappy.

Director Dong of the Shancheng Special Investigation Team glanced at Liu Hao beside him and said in a deep voice: "Director Liu, you are an expert from Yanbei, an expert sent by the General Administration. You are experienced and know more than us. After the appearance of this tiankeng, many strange phenomena have appeared, and it is still expanding. Do you know what will happen next?"

Liu Hao also had a gloomy expression. He shook his head and said modestly, "Director Dong, I am also a newcomer to the special investigation team. I have just taken office for a short time and have encountered such a difficult case. We must work together to figure out the matter of this sinkhole."

"Director Liu, rest assured. Our Shancheng Special Operations Group will fully cooperate. However, our brothers from the Exploration Bureau and the Special Operations Group have all gone down into the tiankeng. It has been three days, and none of them have come up. I am afraid they are in great danger. When they left, they did not bring many supplies. Even if there is still a glimmer of hope, we must rescue them."

Director Dong is also a very scheming person. Now he places all his hopes on Liu Hao just because he is a master from Yanbei.

But we all know Liu Hao's background. Although this kid was promoted very quickly, he actually didn't have much ability. He only relied on his father's influence and Minister Xiao's care to achieve what he has today.

In our eyes, this guy is just a greenhorn and he knows nothing.

Liu Hao also nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Dong, the special investigation team will not abandon any of our brothers. We will definitely rescue the brothers who go down. We will arrange for someone to go down and check."

When he said this, Liu Hao looked towards me and the sloppy Taoist priest, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, you are experienced. Many years ago, you served in the special investigation team and solved many difficult problems with Minister Tang. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

My goodness, this Liu Hao is quite good at shifting the blame. If I express any opinions and something goes wrong later, this guy will definitely put the blame on me.

He's already setting a trap for me before he even starts.

I'm not the kind of person who gets carried away by someone's compliments, so I smiled and said, "Director Liu, you have the highest position here. Minister Tang said that everything is up to you, so don't ask me about this, okay? I'm just a team leader on a temporary basis."

Liu Hao nodded, and then changed the subject: "Brother Wu, since you said that I should make the decision, then I won't be polite. Brother Wu and Brother Luo, you have been in the underworld for many years and have seen many strange things. This time, I hope you can take the lead and go to the bottom of the tiankeng to explore the way for us... Of course, if you feel scared, you don't have to go. I will send other brothers from the special investigation team down."

As soon as these words came out, we were all stunned.

What a Liu Hao, so insidious.

If we go down, we'll fall into his trap. If we don't go down, we'll be cowards who are afraid of death. He has said so much and he just wants to put us in a difficult position.

When Xiaopang heard this, he immediately got angry, and Chilang could no longer hold back.

The sloppy Taoist priest stepped forward quickly, smiled, and said to Liu Hao: "Director Liu, there will be no problem for us to go down, but we don't have much experience. I hope you can go down with us so that you can direct us when the time comes. Otherwise, we won't know what to do after we go down. Of course, if you are afraid, you don't have to go."

The sloppy Taoist priest was very smart and put the blame on Liu Hao with just a few words.

At this time, a lackey beside Liu Hao stood up and said very unhappily: "Wu Jie, don't go too far. Director Liu is the commander-in-chief of this incident and has to take charge of the overall situation. If something happens to him, who will take charge of the next thing?"

"Oh my, what a great official power! Is this what a small director can't handle? When we were following Minister Tang, he also set an example by being the first to do anything. Now when it's your turn, Liu Hao, you have to take charge of the overall situation and let your brothers go up to die?" Chi Lang said sarcastically.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. The lives of your special task force are precious. Let us from Qingcheng Mountain go down and take a look first this time."

Just as we were arguing about who should go down first, a group of old Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain walked straight towards us.

I looked up and saw that there was an acquaintance among the group of old Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain. It was Liu Qianlan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the incident with the tiankeng also alarmed the people in Qingcheng Mountain.

Liu Qianlan soon discovered us, and immediately stepped out from the group of old Taoist priests from Mount Qingcheng, approaching us quickly: "Friend Wu, Friend Luo, long time no see."

When the sloppy Taoist priest and I saw Liu Qianlan, we were immediately excited. We quickly walked towards him and grabbed one of his arms each.

"Senior Liu, it's been a long time since we last came out of the wilderness. How have you been recently?" I said excitedly.

"It's great. It's much more comfortable in Qingcheng Mountain than in that ghost place in the wilderness. When I heard that the Yanbei special investigation team was here to investigate the case, I thought that you might come, so I followed you to take a look. I didn't expect that you were all here." Liu Qianlan was also very excited.
