Volume 8: Ancient Tomb Mysteries and Clouds Chaos Life and Death
After a stick of incense.
There were three soft clicks from ahead, and it seemed that they had exited the tunnel. Liu Lingwei felt a little hot in her heart - was there going to be a big battle soon?
It's so dark here. This was Liu Lingwei's first thought after crawling out of the tunnel.
This place is located very deep underground, and no sunlight can penetrate. But the strange thing is that there is no firelight at all.
Could it be that the people hiding inside don't need light to see things?
Zhu Yujin's voice came from the front:
"Brother Jiang, let's take the passage on the left."
Where did the passage come from? Why can't I see anything? Liu Lingwei was very surprised.
There was a sound of groping in the darkness, and then Jiang Xiao wrote:
"Brother Zhu is referring to? This one?"
"Exactly."
She heard footsteps ahead, but Liu Lingwei couldn't see them at all. She had no choice but to tentatively walk forward. As soon as she reached forward, she grabbed someone's sleeve.
"Huh?" Sheng Yujin's voice sounded.
Liu Lingwei suddenly felt at ease. She poked Sheng Yujin on the back and motioned for him to move forward and take her with him.
The four of them groped forward in the darkness, and after walking for a while, light finally came from the front.
Liu Lingwei used the faint light to look at this place, and found that it was actually a huge naturally formed cave. Countless stalactites hung down from the top of the head, and the jagged rocks were very strange. The mountain wind blew in through the gaps in the cave, making a whining sound.
And the sound of rushing water came from deep under the feet. It seemed that there were many underground rivers in the heart of the mountain.
This is a unique karst landform in Miaojiang and other places. It was also called karst landform by later Western scholars. The surface is densely covered with karst ravines, accompanied by many sinkholes, karst depressions and peak forests. Underground are karst caves and underground rivers.
with dark lake.
Liu Lingwei remembered a story she had read in a book - it was said that many, many years ago, a group of people traveled to the deep mountains of Miao territory. One of them accidentally slipped and fell into a rock crevice, and his companions drilled into the rock.
Looking for him in the crevice, they found that the rock crevice looked ordinary on the outside, but it was terrifyingly large, deep and dark inside, and it was impossible to see the bottom. His companions could not find him, so they had to give up.
These man-eating crevices also made these travelers think of escaping. They fled overnight, and it took them three days and three nights to leave the Miao border. Exhausted, they camped by a creek. The next day, they
The body of the missing companion was found on the shore. It had been soaked in water and turned white. Only then did we realize that the companion had fallen into the underground river and followed the current, but accidentally drifted here...
"Eh..." Liu Lingwei thought of this, imagining the body that had been submerged in water for three days, and couldn't help but shudder. She quickly shook her head and said silently:
"Liu Lingwei, don't scare yourself..."
Zhu Yujin spoke in a low voice:
"Wherever there are lights, there are enemies. Let's go to dark places, find out the situation and then kill them by surprise."
Jiang Xiaoshu walked into the darkness as instructed, and everyone followed closely. After walking a few feet, Sheng Yujin suddenly spoke:
"Dark places may be more dangerous."
Zhu Yujin said:
"Why did Young Master Sheng say this?"
Liu Lingwei once fought against the Jackals and Fox Ghosts with Sheng Yujin at the Wang Family Iron Factory. After hearing this, she immediately understood the reason - the Jackals and Fox Ghosts have extremely strong night vision abilities, probably because they have been in this seedling for a long time.
Living in the king's tomb, and the enemy we are about to face now should have the same ability. In the darkness, we will be at a disadvantage.
But Sheng Yujin didn't explain anything, he just pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, several people had dived into the darkness again. Liu Lingwei could not see anything, but she had an inexplicable feeling——
Sheng Yujin seemed to have closed his eyes.
Entering the darkness again, Liu Lingwei walked very hard. The road under her feet was sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes flat and sometimes bumpy, sometimes dry and sometimes slippery. In just half a stick of incense, Liu Lingwei had already lost her footing three times. If Sheng Yujin hadn't caught her in time, she would have lost her footing.
I was afraid that I would have fallen down and screamed.
"Don't be afraid." Sheng Yujin's muffled voice came from the front.
But these words did not give Liu Lingwei any strength, but made her even more worried.
People are like this sometimes. The more you tell yourself not to think about something, the more it will haunt you.
Liu Lingwei had just warned herself not to think wildly, but after almost falling down three times, she became worried again - the tomb of the Miao King was built on the basis of a large natural cave, and she had just stepped on many slates and wood.
It was built by humans.
So under these slates and wooden blocks, could there be those rock crevices that can eat people? Where will they fall if the soles of their feet are empty? Liu Lingwei's face turned pale when she thought of this, and she tightened her sleeves on Sheng Yujin.
…
Jiang Xiaoshu led the way without saying a word. His face was expressionless and sullen. The small accident that occurred behind Liu Lingwei did not affect him at all.
As they walked past a large stone slab, Jiang Xiaoshu and Sheng Yujin felt their hearts tremble at the same time. Jiang Xiaoshu immediately raised his hand to stop the others from moving forward.
But the next moment he cursed himself for being confused - he couldn't see his fingers here, how could the person behind him see his gestures?
Zhu Yujin was caught off guard and bumped into Jiang Xiaoshu's back. Jiang Xiaoshu staggered and took an extra step forward. When his right foot landed, there was a sudden sound!
Click!
In the midst of lightning and flint, there was a crash, and the large stone slabs under the feet of several people shrank into the stone wall next to them at an extremely fast speed.
The sole of his foot fell down and he was caught off guard. Jiang Xiaoshu was startled, and a burst of true energy rushed straight to the sky. He used a "Ladder to Heaven", and his waist and abdomen were shaken, which slowed down the downward trend.
But no matter how brilliant Qinggong is in this world, it still needs some support when performing it. Even in novels, those Qinggong masters must at least step on a leaf or a feather.
Jiang Xiaoshu naturally understood this truth better than anyone else, so at the next moment, he kicked violently to the side while grabbing the edge of the trap with his arms.
If this kick can hit the wall of the trap, he can use his strength to escape.
But this was a mistake. The stone slab covering the trap entrance was only more than ten feet square, but the trap below seemed to be extremely wide. Jiang Xiaoshu kicked out, but missed.
Fortunately, although his feet did not hit the wall, his hands reached the edge of the trap and he was able to hang on.
Jiang Xiaoshu was overjoyed and was about to climb up when Sheng Yujin's low roar and Liu Lingwei's scream came from behind at the same time.
Without thinking, Jiang Xiaoshu reached back with his left hand and happened to catch Sheng Yujin's hand. Then he fell with great force. Jiang Xiaoshu's right arm, which was holding the edge of the trap, was shaken violently, and even his fingers were shaken.
There was a rattling sound, and he almost tore himself off.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and managed to hold on.
It seems that I saved both Sheng Yujin and Liu Lingwei. Jiang Xiaoshu was happy, but then he discovered a very embarrassing thing——
It's impossible for me to lift the weight of three people by myself!
Without allowing him to think about it, there was a click, and the sound of the machine being reset was heard, and the large stone slab that had been inserted into the stone wall slid back, and was about to cover the trap again.
Oops! Jiang Xiaoshu was immediately horrified.
He raised his head, and although he couldn't see anything, he knew that his right hand had been violently pulled by the weight of three people, and his blood vessels had burst, causing serious damage.
He even knew that the stone slab weighing several hundred kilograms was very close to his palm, and even the smell of finely crushed stone powder and old moss was very close at hand.
The next moment, this big stone slab will cut off his hand, and then the three of them will fall into a trap without knowing the details.
In an instant, Jiang Xiaoshu came up with countless ideas in his mind, but after careful consideration, every idea pointed to the same path.
Dead end.
Liu Lingwei's screams ringed in his ears, and the echo made Jiang Xiaoshu's ears hurt. This coincided with what he was thinking - in Jiang Xiaoshu's heart, the road to hell, that is, the road to death,
The whole journey must have been filled with women's screams, which were shrill, painful, and terrifying...
Damn it, I actually died like this? It’s so frustrating. Not to mention dying under the skirt of a beautiful woman, at least I have to be wrapped in horse leather or die drunk to be worthy of my status? How can it be like now, when I can only listen to Liu Lingwei’s shock?
The screams in the ears were smashed into a puddle of flesh...
Wait! Shock your ears? This is an echo!
There was an echo, which meant it wasn't as deep down there as I thought.
At this time, the hairs on Jiang Xiaoshu's right hand stood on end - this was a sign that he was about to be crushed!
Chapter completed!
