C21 The Man in the Hole(1)

The hole is small, but it's just enough for me to climb in, and if I were a little bigger, I'd probably be stuck.

Yang Fann followed the path of the cave and continued to climb in. This cave was like a tunnel. It was just an extended tunnel. When he crawled for about 200 meters, the space around him gradually became wider, allowing him to squat down and move forward step by step. After another 200 meters, the height of the cave would allow him to walk on his feet.

After walking like this for about ten minutes, a very large slope suddenly appeared in front of him. Yang Fann did not pay attention and stepped on the air and rolled down.

"Are you kidding me? What the hell is this place?"

Yang Fann stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and carefully looked around. A large empty space appeared in his eyes. There were two torches hanging on the wall not far away. There were some skeletons in armor scattered around. In addition, he didn't know where the cold wind came from, but it made Yang Fann's heart shiver. He was even more certain that there were zombies living here.

Yang Fann avoided those skeletons and walked to a wall. With the help of the weak light of the fire, he saw that the wall was densely covered with words and symbols that he could not understand.

"Eh? Why does it look like the symbols in the Bright Holy Temple?" Yang Fann felt that the symbols looked familiar. He thought about it carefully. He remembered that he had seen them during the test in the Bright Holy Temple.

"Could it be that this is the ruin of the Bright Holy Temple? No wonder this damn place looks like an underground palace!" Yang Fann muttered to himself as he looked at the words and symbols on the wall. "You guessed half right. This place really does belong to that bullshit Bright Holy Temple. It's just a place to imprison criminals!" At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly reached Yang Fann's ears. It was accompanied by a series of gasps.

Yang Fann was shocked. He looked in the direction of the voice in fear. On a tall platform, a strange man with messy hair and his four limbs tied up by thick iron chains was sitting there with his head lowered. He did not move. The surrounding fire shone on his body. It made his entire person flicker between light and darkness. It was very strange.

"You... Are you a human or a ghost?" Yang Fann swallowed his saliva and asked probingly.

"Hehe, I used to be a human, but now I'm not a human but a ghost!" The strange man still had his head down, and a strange laughter came out of his mouth, causing a series of echoes.

"Then you... you're a zombie!" Yang Fann opened his mouth wide. His guess was right, there really was a zombie!

"Zombie? Hahaha..." When the strange man heard Yang Fann's words, he suddenly raised his head and laughed. Then he laughed and said," The kid's imagination is very rich, although I am not a zombie, but it's pretty much the same as zombies." His voice was faintly filled with vicissitudes and desolation.

With the help of the light from the fire, Yang Fann could vaguely see the strange man's face. Other than the thick beard, everyone else looked like normal people. He had flesh and blood, and his eyes were sharp, emitting a domineering aura. Adding what he had just said, Yang Fann was now sure that the strange man was not a zombie.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Yang Fann gradually recovered from his shock. He calmed himself down and asked the strange man.

"Who am I?" The strange man seemed to be stunned for a moment, then his eyes darkened. He said to himself, "Yes, who am I? After so many years, I almost can't remember who I am!"

Yang Fann suddenly had a strong interest in this strange man who was trapped underground. Seeing that he seemed to be lost in thought, Yang Fann tried to approach him carefully.

"Kid, how did you come in?" Just when Yang Fann was only a few meters away from the platform, the strange person suddenly said.

"Ah?" Yang Fann was shocked and stood still, not daring to move.

"I asked you how you came in!" The strange man suddenly looked at Yang Fann's face with a ferocious expression.

Seeing the strange man's expression, Yang Fann's heart raced. He pointed behind him and said, "I climbed in from that tunnel!"

"Huh?"

The strange man looked in the direction Yang Fann was pointing at and saw the exit where Yang Fann had crawled in. He suddenly laughed and said, "Kid, you are lucky!"

"Lucky?" Yang Fann was confused by the strange man's words.

"That's right. Do you know that this mountain is full of restrictions? If you came in from other places, you would have died many times already!"

Yang Fann clicked his tongue when he heard the strange man's words. He could not believe it. It was not that exaggerated, was it?

"However, since you can come in, it means that you are fated with me. Little kid, come here. I haven't talked to anyone for a long time!" The strange man waved at Yang Fann. His voice was deep and powerful.

After the conversation just now, Yang Fann no longer felt fear in his heart. Apart from a little moody, he felt that this strange man looked quite pleasing to the eye. Hearing the strange man's words, Yang Fann climbed up the platform.
