Chapter 761 Self-defeating
The huge force threw me out of the escape tunnel, and then I entered a wider water area, but I didn't rush out very far. Under the weight of the heavy luggage, I fell into the water with a "gudong".
in the mud.
The silt layer was very thick, like a giant beast from the abyss. It opened its mouth and swallowed me up instantly.
I tried to move a few times, but my hands and feet were slippery and would immediately sink as soon as I exerted force. In my current lying position, the more I struggled, the worse it would be.
This situation reminds me of those unlucky guys who were tied up with stones by gangsters and drowned in the river. I think these people may not have been drowned, but were suffocated to death by the mud at the bottom of the river. But compared to these
As for the unlucky guy, at least I still have a scuba, so I won’t be afraid of losing my breath within two or three hours, so I’m not too panicked. I lie motionless like a dead person at the bottom of the water, gradually regaining my strength, and I know very well.
, this kind of situation is like a dead knot, you have to calm down and slowly unravel it. You must not be anxious. Anxiety will only make the knot tighter and tighter, until there is no hope at all.
With this in mind, while recovering my strength, I slowly adjusted my posture and movements, slowly squirming forward, and my posture was probably no different from that of a water monkey on land.
Gradually, I broke out of the mud.
After groping around for a while, I felt that I was purely unlucky. After being pushed out by Yu He, I happened to fall into a mud pit. After leaving that position, the mud layer was not so thick.
, the places where the hands and feet touch are very hard and a little slippery, it seems to be some flat stone slabs.
Such stone slabs cannot be naturally formed.
At this point, I was completely sure that I had entered the tomb. To be precise, I had entered a tomb that was flooded by underground water.
The water here was shallower than I expected. The moment I adjusted my posture under the water and stood up, with a "crash", the water broke directly above my chest.
People are actually photophilic creatures. When they are in dead silence and darkness, they will instinctively feel insecure. So after I stabilized myself a little, I immediately pulled out the Tianguan Blade and the flashlight stuffed on the side of my backpack.
.
The flashlight is a waterproof strong-light flashlight, but for the sake of safety, it is still wrapped with a layer of plastic film. After tearing off the plastic film, I got the light I wanted, and at that moment I felt my heart sinking.
The whole person feels much more at ease.
This is a very open place. The height of the stagnant water is the same as the height of the escape tunnel. At first glance, it looks like an underground cave. Occasionally, many piles of bricks and stones will protrude from the stagnant water, like islands that suddenly appear in the vast ocean.
It seems that the top is at least three or four meters away from me, and there are obvious traces of man-made things. However, both the tomb wall and the top of the tomb are very seriously damaged. This damage is not man-made, but time and nature.
The damage caused caused cracks in many places. Over a long period of time, stone pillars like stalactites hung down from those cracked places. It was very magical. Water was dripping from many places.
I think this is a perfect place that combines man-made and nature. Of course, looking at the damage to the main structure of the tomb, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for long before it is completely destroyed. The coffin and other things have long been gone, and it should have been corroded.
There should be some fragments of burial utensils, but they were all buried in the waterlogged mud, and I was too lazy to look for them.
A thin mist washes over the water, which is formed by the combination of water vapor and extremely cloudy environment. It somewhat affects the line of sight and makes it difficult to observe the entire tomb chamber.
After hesitating for a moment, I took off my scuba.
For a damaged tomb, the seal will not be good, just like a sieve, no one knows which corner will quietly exchange air with the outside, but the air is a bit dirty, and lack of oxygen is inevitable.
But at least it won't kill anyone.
Breathing in the damp and stuffy smell, I miss the feeling of wearing scuba. It's a pity that this thing can't be used all the time.
After a rough identification, I put it down, and slowly walked towards a pile of bricks not far away. Before I could get out of the water, the water behind me suddenly rippled, and someone else came in.
As expected, I was the unluckiest one. Brother Yaozi and my master had never experienced being stuck in the mud. After the two of them came in, they immediately poked their heads out of the water. Guided by the flashlight in my hand, they immediately headed towards the water.
Walked over here.
Brother Yaozi took off his scuba as he walked, climbed up the brick pile, and pulled my master up. Then he sat down, gasping for breath, rubbed his nose and said: "Wuzi is three feet nine, one foot.
The child is four feet two, and the child is four feet seven. How deep should we go? It must be dozens of meters larger, right? Who would bury such a deep tomb?"
"Stop complaining, at least we are down, and what you said is the rule of the common people. The more children you have, the deeper the tomb will be. But no matter how deep it is, it is only a few meters below the ground. How can it compare with the nobles?
?No matter how down-and-out a nobleman is, he is still a nobleman. It is normal for the tomb to be dug twenty or thirty meters down. It’s not like you don’t understand this. What’s the use of saying this.”
I smiled and said: "The escape tunnel is too long, winding and crooked. To be honest, I don't even know where we are in Shennongjia now. In the mountainous area, the altitude of each place is different. We are now
It’s impossible to estimate the depth from the surface. Anyway, it can’t be compared based on the depth of pile wells. Leaving aside some ancient ruins that were accidentally buried underground, no one would make the tombs that deep, not even Liu Quji.”
"Look, this is why I don't want to talk to you about tombs. It's too professional. If others just say something casually, you will have to wait for ten sentences."
Brother Yaozi curled his lips and said, "Come on, tell me, what is the current charter?"
"I'm just like you. I just came down and walked around in this palm-sized area. How can I tell you what the regulations are?"
I patted the bricks under my butt and said, "But there's one thing. This tomb is too big, like a cave. It's very unreasonable. Qin Shihuang's tomb couldn't be built so big. It should be a combination of several tombs."
At the same time, the partition wall and the load-bearing wall in the middle have collapsed, which is what is under our butts. To be honest, it is not easy for such a tomb to survive to this day."
Brother Yaozi nodded and did not answer any more. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "It's a pity..."
The words came a little abruptly.
I know him well. In ancient terms, he is like Li Zicheng. He will never pity any dignitary, let alone the collapse of his tomb.
The only one who could make him feel so emotional was Tang He...
Thinking about the last words the other person said to me, I fell silent, and after a while I said, "He's a man."
Brother Yaozi said "hmm" and said nothing further.
After waiting for a while, the rest of the people also came down one after another. We were the first to jump into the pile well, and naturally we were the first to come down, followed closely by Fu Huicheng and Chen Wei, following at the end.
Those are the mercenaries.
Tang He's soul was injured. When I watched at that time, I knew that his condition would never last. Coincidentally, when he sent Chen Wei in, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.
As a result, the remaining mercenaries had to rely on themselves.
Chen Wei looked at me with a very strange look, as if it was true, and there was even a hint of happiness in it, as if I deliberately instigated Tang He not to help those mercenaries.
I feel quite unjust about this, but I can’t explain it. If Tang He’s last move hadn’t touched me, maybe I would have actually instigated him to give up to those mercenaries. With full malice, I
No one listened to my complaints.
Without Tang He's help, the mercenaries would have been very slow to come down. After waiting for nearly half an hour, the five mercenaries clumsily emerged from the escape tunnel with the group in their arms.
The first person to jump out of the water was the strong man named Crazy Bear. As his name suggests, he is a crazy guy. As soon as he emerged from the water, he immediately shouted "fuck, fuck".
The rest of us were watching this man's outburst with a show of excitement. Brother Yaozi even maliciously said that the cause of the trouble must have been close contact with the corpses in the secret escape passage. Even Fu Huicheng's
A hint of teasing flashed across his face. With so many things going on, I'm afraid in this guy's eyes, these mercenaries are not much different from enemies.
However, when four other mercenaries emerged from the water, we couldn't laugh anymore.
Because...one of them was carried out of the water by three others.
