53. Chapter 53 Lonely man and widow
As he ran, he used lighting equipment to focus on the collapsed space above his head not far away. Although this space was not large, it could barely accommodate two people of standard size.
"Meixi, hold my waist!" He shouted and ran out of the Exploding Claw.
The hook at the front of the probing claw accurately grasped a stone at the edge of the fault. He took advantage of the inertia of running forward and swayed. The time and force were calculated accurately, and he just happened to catch it with both hands.
At the edge of the fault, his waist and abdominal muscles were very strong. He pushed up with all his strength, and reluctantly climbed into the fault with Mei Xi, which was only less than 1.5 square meters.
The Snake King lives in a dark underground space all year round, and its vision must have deteriorated. It relies entirely on scent to chase them. Wushuang stuffed Meixi into the innermost part of the fault, took off his backpack, and the huge travel bag was just big enough to cover the entrance of the cave.
.Then he took out a small thing similar to a snuff bottle from his small satchel.
As soon as he opened the lid, Mei Xi smelled an extremely foul smell coming from this little thing, which made him cover his nose quickly.
"Uncle, what is this? It stinks!"
"Corpse oil!" After saying that, Wushuang dropped a few drops of corpse oil on Mei Xi's body, and then applied some more on herself.
"Oh, I bought this new one, will you let me wear it?"
"Shh, don't make a sound. The corpse oil can hide our anger. Let the two monsters fight on their own. No matter which one dies, we will only benefit from it. Don't say anything!"
Mei Xi didn't dare to say any more words. After all, life was more important. If she didn't speak, she wouldn't speak. But she could feel her heartbeat speeding up, jumping around like a naughty little rabbit. She wasn't nervous, she had an uncle.
She felt relieved, but it was because it was the first time she was so close to her uncle. In the small space, the two of them could almost smell each other's breath with their bodies curled up.
Fortunately, Wushuang didn't turn on the lighting. Maybe her face was now more beautiful than the monkey's butt. She could already feel Wushuang's stubble touching her delicate face, but she couldn't help but lean forward.
An animal roar broke the romantic and silent atmosphere. The two guys collided. The sound should be that the snake king bit the four-legged monster. Then there was the sound of flesh and bones being bitten off. It was obvious that among them
One has become the other's midnight snack.
"The White Blood Flower Snake King was eaten." Wushuang judged.
"Why it?"
"Snakes eat food by swallowing it, not by biting it."
"Ah? That guy is more powerful than a poisonous snake? Then wouldn't we be more dangerous?"
Wushuang didn't speak. When he jumped up from below, his body hit the edge of the fault. He found that the reason why this fault was easily washed away and collapsed by rainwater penetration was because it was not solid to begin with, or there was something hidden on the other side of the fault.
Cave within a cave. This is all based on experience. If it were an ordinary little tomb robber, I am afraid that he would have been confused when faced with this kind of danger, and he would not have the time to analyze his situation.
In the darkness, he wanted to reach out and try to feel the softness of the soil before making a decision, but the space was narrow and he couldn't see much. Before he reached out to touch the loose soil, he felt a soft feeling on his hand. Mei Xi
I was off guard, I wanted to scream but I didn't dare. I gritted my teeth and blushed with shame. I quickly stretched out my hand and pulled him out, but I just grabbed him without any intention of blaming him. I really wanted to never go out.
"Uncle, you... what are you doing? Hey, where are your hands... touching?" she said angrily. If it had been in the past, she would have greeted him with a slap.
"Til your head and block it."
The space in this fault was too small. Mei Xi tilted her head to make way for this small space, and her little head was indeed resting on Wu Shuang's shoulder. If other people saw it at ordinary times, they would think that this girl was talking to her.
Sweetheart is close.
Wushuang patted it with his hand, and the sound was muffled, which meant that his guess was correct. There was still a space above the fault. In colloquial terms, this was called "a fight within a fight."
He took out a small shovel from his backpack and began to remove the soil from the fault bit by bit. The space was too small, and now the two of them did not dare to go down and disturb the person who was eating, so they had to try to make the space as large as possible.
, this makes it easier to work, and will not injure "innocent people" as soon as you reach out.
However, he must be careful with his movements, because this is just a fault, not a man-made cave. There is only about 40 centimeters of soil between the fault and the cave below. If the movement is too big, the two of them will fall if they are not careful.
.
Digging holes is a very common skill for gold captains. This job seems simple, but it requires skill. And while digging, you have to accurately calculate various forces in your mind, such as how deep you dig.
, then is the edge enough to support the pressure of the earth above? For example, if there is a valuable artifact hidden in the soil, will it be broken by your hand?
He is the leader of thieves, and he is even more proficient in mastering this skill. First, he dug out a small space for Mei Xi to rest by herself, and then he took out a small tool like a chisel from his bag, and easily
Gently clean up the separation between the fault and the upper space bit by bit.
Mei Xi was at ease, so she simply took out the bread and ham sausage from her bag and sat there as leisurely as a young lady being served.
"Don't just eat. Press the second switch of the smart electronic sensor on your wrist three times and see what it shows." Wushuang ordered.
"10.2" Mei Xi replied.
"This means that we are now 10.2 meters away from the level of the entrance of the cave when we came in..." Wushuang muttered and kept calculating a set of numbers.
Finally, relying on experience, he concluded that the distance between this fault and another cave above his head was less than 600 centimeters. He regretted that he did not bring the "Luoyang shovel" used by professional tomb robbers this time. Although this little thing worked accurately, it was
too slow.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour... Big beads of sweat dripped down Wushuang's forehead. Meixi knew she felt distressed and quickly wiped his sweat with her sleeves. Seeing that she had dug nearly half a meter away, Wushuang finally found it.
But he stopped moving.
"What's wrong?" Mei Xi asked.
He twitched his nose twice. "This smell is really weird. I seem to have smelled it somewhere before."
As the soil in the space above became more and more loose, a faint strange smell permeated from the soil. This smell could not be described as pleasant or unpleasant, but it seemed to have a bit of blood.
"Oops! Not good!" Wushuang frowned. He remembered where he had smelled this smell. This was not the same thing he had smelled when he inspected the corpse of the Qing soldier in Professor Bayala's private studio a few days ago.
