Chapter 152: Dead End
The man fell into a flap pit without hindrance, and everyone was startled and hurried to look.
Liuzhang didn't seem surprised, glanced at Brother Kui, smiled, and walked over.
None of the people lying on the edge of the pit did not look frightened and covered in cold sweat.
The pit appeared, and the rustling sound became more obvious, and the bottom of the pit was full of poisonous snakes, large and small, long and short, and numb and squirming in it.
The man who fell was entangled by several snakes almost the moment he fell, his eyes were round, he looked at it in horror, his mouth was open but he couldn't make any sound, and panic and despair instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.
The man didn't dare to move, only his eyes kept asking for help from the people above, and he had to keep watching the snakes around him to bite him when he wasn't paying attention.
Liuzhang and they just looked at him like that, and they didn't have any intention of saving him.
Suddenly, a huge black snake swam past the edge of the pit, erecting itself next to the man, its triangular head showing its poison.
The man's frightened and desperate eyes were almost turning into a lantern of death's summoning at this moment, and the dark shadow in his pupils gradually approached, and finally suddenly shrank back.
"Ah......h
With a terrible scream, the black snake had already bitten his throat, and its body was also wrapped around him several times, getting tighter and tighter.
In the end, what everyone saw was a person with a dark face and a deformed body lying lifeless in the middle of a pile of snakes, slowly sinking.
"Hoo ......"
Someone sat down on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
There are two more, who have followed the old wine to the tomb with Liuzhang before, and have seen this kind of ten thousand snake pits once, although the face is calm, but the heart in the chest is beating messily, and the hands and feet are cold.
Brother Kui looked down and looked down again, looking at Liuzhang, "Go on?"
"Of course!" Liuzhang smiled, "This is interesting, the more organs, the greater the wealth, when you see the living organ, there must be a treasure in it!" After he finished speaking, he looked at the subordinates around him, "Everyone cheer up, be careful, whether you get rich or lose your life, it's up to us!"
Making a fortune is the purpose of them coming here with Liuzhang, and everyone cheers themselves up in their hearts.
The danger of going to the grave is something they know from the moment they step into this business, no one wants to retreat, who knows that the next person to lose his life will definitely be himself?
Liuzhang was very satisfied with the reaction of these people under him, "Follow me, go!"
This time, Liuzhang chose to take the lead.
He knew that after the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit passed, even if the organs behind it were in crisis, they were all quicksand, arrows, thunder stones and the like, and for him, it was much better to deal with than the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit.
And, once again, it proves that the path they came in was the right one.
The group followed behind Liuzhang and carefully rubbed over the edge, the narrow edge was only less than a foot wide, and the heart of the walk was terrifying.
Fortunately, everyone has passed without danger, and when they look back, there seems to be nothing left in the Ten Thousand Snake Pit.
After this, the murals on both sides began to change, no longer brightly colored paintings, but into uneven carvings.
In the eyes of modern people, these carved patterns are quite exquisite, and the others have some abstract meanings.
The figures and animals are somewhat deformed, I don't know if they are hunting or captivity, and those who look at them are dazzled, as if they can hear the roar of wild beasts in their ears.
"Close your eyes!" Brother Kui's voice suddenly sounded, which made everyone's hearts tremble, and some people even felt stuffy in their chests and had a fishy sweet throat, "Don't look at the murals!"
Liuzhang is also a little afraid, these murals are strange.
He looked back at the men, "Go on!"
The people behind him followed Liuzhang in fear and continued to walk forward, walking very slowly, and Liuzhang held a flashlight from time to time to shine up and down, left and right.
And for a long time, as if there was no mechanism, they came to a square open space safe and sound, and there was no way to the front and left.
"Dead end?" someone said suspiciously.
"No!" Liuzhang said with certainty, there must be a road behind the Ten Thousand Snake Pit, but he didn't find a mechanism to open the exit.
Kui Ge stood behind Liuzhang and looked around with him, all of them were walls, only tomb bricks and large stone carvings, and nothing looked like an entrance mechanism.
"Candle!" Liuzhang said, and someone immediately took one out of his backpack, lit it, and handed it to Liuzhang.
Rokujo looked at the compass, walked to one of the corners, and after dropping a few drops of wax oil, fixed the candle there.
Many Tufuzi tomb robbers have this traditional habit.
It is said that after entering the tomb, light a candle in the southwest corner, if the candle is not extinguished, it means that it is safe, if it is extinguished, do not say anything, bow around and go back the way it came.
Although there is no scientific basis for this practice, it is entirely a rule passed down by word of mouth, but almost every Tufuzi who goes to the tomb will do it.
The candle light darkens the place, but it also makes it possible to see the surroundings without relying on a flashlight.
"Rest for a while!" Rokujo said, and then he began to look around the surrounding walls carefully for the mechanism to open the entrance.
He was almost entirely sure that the entrance was behind these walls.
The men sat down against the wall, some looking at Liuzhang and others at the candles.
Brother Kui pinched his fingers silently, he wanted to see which direction was the door of life and which was the door of death.
Rokujo kept tapping his hand on the wall, his ear on it and listening.
As time passed little by little, the previous thrilling process made them quickly sleepy, and soon, one after another snoring sounded.
No one noticed that the candle flame in the corner of the wall turned green at some point, and it was eerie and made everyone dye a green halo.
Brother Kui's brows furrowed, his fingers pinched even faster, and he couldn't figure out the location of Shengmen at all.
No matter how he calculated, it seemed that the location of the birth gate had just been calculated, and the death gate calculated in the next moment would overlap with the birth gate.
It was simply impossible, and he had never encountered it.
A faint layer of cold sweat appeared on Brother Kui's forehead, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart, as if someone was telling him, "Get out quickly, go down again, there is only a dead end!"
In the end, Brother Kui gave up, exhaled, and found a place where no one was around to sit and rest.
Liuzhang also looked around, but found nothing, and also came over and sat next to Brother Kui, leaning his head against the wall, and sighed almost inaudibly.
No one spoke, silence mingled with silence, as if there were only these people left in the world, and there were no living creatures.
......
Luo Fan and his party were in trouble on the rocky beach.
The little soldier who was bitten by the strange fish began to have a fever, his lips were dry and skinned, and his face became sallow.
"What to do?" asked Jolene, crouching down in front of him and looking at him.
Wu Yongqiang was also very worried, he was unwilling to leave any of his comrades-in-arms, the previous straight, he didn't dare to think about it, but now it is difficult to make a suitable decision.
Hao Wenjie was too, his face was full of worry and sadness, "If it goes on like this, he must be sent to the hospital immediately!"
Everyone knows that people should be sent to the hospital immediately, but how difficult it is for them to walk all the way, and sending them back means that there is no way to continue later!
But if he didn't send it back, this little soldier, who was only in his early twenties, might never be able to get out again.
Luo Fan came over after treating the wound, he checked the pulse of the little warrior, opened his eyelids and looked at it, sat next to him and said, "We can't let him stay any longer, we must send him out immediately!"
"But......" Wu Yongqiang was a little embarrassed, and Luo Fan stretched out a hand to interrupt him.
"Listen to me, I don't think there are so many people to follow the road behind, you can discuss it, just leave a few skilled people to follow, and everyone else will go back!" Luo Fan said.
"That's not good!" Hao Wenjie immediately objected, "Without our protection, the tomb robbers haven't been caught yet, and you are even more dangerous!"
"No!" Luo Fan shook his head, "The danger behind is not calculated according to the number of people, listen to me, even if there are many people, it is useless to encounter such a situation, it is better to control it with fewer people!"
Jolene pursed her lips and didn't speak, anyway, she made up her mind to follow Luo Fan.
Wu Yongqiang was very conflicted in his heart, looked at his soldiers, and then looked at Professor Ma and a few of them not far away, and finally felt that Luo Fan was right.
"Yes, yes!" he said, "but I let them go back, and what will I do with them later?"
"I'll protect Professor Ma!" Luo Fan said, "The others will take care of it, but everyone needs to pay more attention to it!"
Oh, yes!
After all, Luo Fan has only one person, and it is impossible for him to take care of everyone, and it can be said that protecting Professor Ma is already the best.
After Luo Fan finished speaking, seeing that they were all silent, he stood up and walked back to the place before, cross-legged and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Wu Yongqiang, Hao Wenjie and Qiao Lin walked to the side and talked in a low voice.
They also understood that the best solution Luo Fan had come up with, and that they had come down to protect Professor Ma and their safe reach of the final location, and also to capture the tomb robbers if they encountered them.
Now that there is such an accident, no one wants to see it.
"Captain......" Suddenly, the little soldier woke up and screamed with difficulty.
Wu Yongqiang and the others heard it, and hurriedly ran over to take a look.
"How are you, don't worry, I'll let you go out well!" Wu Yongqiang said worriedly.
"I ...... It's okay, it's all my fault...... It's dragged on, it's dragged on......" The little soldier said with difficulty, with a smile on his face, although it was very reluctant, but it was obvious that he wanted to laugh hard to make others less worried, "You go on...... I am here...... Wait, wait for you to ......"
"No!" Hearing this, Wu Yongqiang, Hao Wenjie and Qiao Lin said almost at the same time.
"Don't worry, we've already discussed it, I'll send you out now!" Hao Wenjie said immediately.
"Yes, the rest of us will definitely complete the task, and the most important thing for you now is to go back with them with peace of mind!" said Jolene.
Wu Yongqiang knew how proud his soldiers were, and they didn't want to be a drag on the whole team, they could do anything.
"Alright, carry out the order!" Wu Yongqiang finally gritted his teeth and said.
When the little soldier heard this, he was anxious, but he had exhausted all his strength, and he could not say a word, so he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Professor Ma walked over and glanced at the injured little soldier with a worried expression, "Captain Wu, listen to Luo Fan! He's still young, send him out as soon as possible!"
Wu Yongqiang nodded, his face was heavy, and he turned his head and shouted: "All assemble!"
Everyone stood in front of Wu Yongqiang, and all of them had words written on their faces: I will stay, and let the others send their comrades back!
It's just that Wu Yongqiang has a way of governing the army, and orders are forbidden, as long as he gives an order, no matter what he thinks in his heart, they will carry it out without discount.
Soon, Wu Yongqiang arranged it, and he left three people, plus Hao Wenjie, Qiao Lin, and Xiaoma.
This configuration can be said to be the strongest in the whole team.
"Captain, what about me?" Matsuko was not happy, he also wanted to stay.
"You have to go back and give a detailed report on the situation here!" Hao Wenjie said.
"Then you go back, I'll stay!" Songzi obviously didn't do anything, and it was ten thousand times more dangerous to stay than to go out.
"Execute the order!" Hao Wenjie's face was blank, unquestionable.
“...... Yes!"
