Chapter 1180: Escape
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Meng Zitao did not completely despair and tried hard to think of a way.
Shu Ze next to him was also sweating profusely, looking around to see if there was a place to hide, and when he saw the ancient well in front of him, his heart moved: "Zitao, can the well over there come in handy?"
"It's useful, at least it's better than burying it alive!"
Meng Zitao's eyes lit up, and he quickly took Shu Ze to the ancient well, at this time the earthquake was getting stronger and stronger, and there were constantly flying sand and stones falling from it, and the situation was very critical.
Running to the ancient well, Meng Zitao hurriedly used his sword to cut a few gaps at the edge of the mouth of the ancient well, and then fixed the rope in the bag on it and divided it into two strands, and the whole process was completed in one go.
"You go down first!"
Shu Ze also knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he grabbed the rope and climbed into the ancient well, and after a while, Meng Zitao also grabbed another rope and climbed down.
The space of the ancient well is not small, and the two of them are not crowded inside, and Meng Zitao used his sword to dig a few gaps in the well for the two of them to settle down.
Meng Zitao noticed that there was a rumbling sound outside the well, although the impact on the well was limited, but the sand and stones kept falling on his head, which made him a little anxious, it would definitely not work like this, and he had to think of a way.
At this time, Shu Ze spoke: "Zitao, the mural here is the same as what I saw in the corner just now, will there be any connection between the two?"
Meng Zitao saw by the light of the miner's lamp that the murals on the wall of the well were lifelike, depicting mythological characters from ancient Egypt.
Generally speaking, there will be no one who is idle and paints a mural in an ancient well, and there must be some meaning.
Meng Zitao asked, "The murals you saw earlier are exactly the same as those here?"
Shu Ze recalled for a moment and shook his head, but immediately he pointed to the head of a figure and said, "I remember, the figure in the corner does not have this sun." ”
"This is the sun god. ”
Meng Zitao stretched out his hand to the sun, but there was some surprise, the sun was actually protruding, he hurriedly pressed down, the stone wall suddenly shrank back, and then revealed a hole next to it that was just big enough for a person to climb into.
"I'll go first. ”
Meng Zitao told Shu Ze to be careful, and then climbed into the secret passage, and climbed for more than two minutes before the cave became spacious, but it could only accommodate the next person to walk.
Meng Zitao went to call Shu Ze in, and the two walked in the secret passage, Shu Ze observed the surroundings and said with a smile: "If there is a mechanism here, we are likely to be served in one pot." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I hope our luck won't be so weak." ”
The two of them walked through an ascending passage, and they didn't know where their destination was, and they didn't know why they built such a secret passage in the first place, it would not be a place for craftsmen to escape. But it's all desert outside, where can you escape?
The two were chatting while walking, and suddenly, Meng Zitao felt a softness under his feet, it turned out that the road here suddenly became a downward slope, and it was very smooth, and the whole person slid down the slope.
After sliding an estimated distance of one or twenty meters, and finally touching the ground, Meng Zitao hurriedly rolled to the side, and heard Shu Ze's oops, and then slipped down: "It hurts me to death!"
Meng Zitao smiled: "It's okay. ”
"It's okay...... Shu Ze rubbed his waist, he looked around, and his eyes glared at the boss: "What the hell is this place!"
The scene in front of him was not to mention Shu Ze, even Meng Zitao felt eerie and terrifying.
The environment in which the two of them are now living is hundreds of square meters, and here are all white bones, and some bones have obvious abnormal scars, and the deceased may have been severely beaten and abused before his death.
What made Meng Zitao feel even more disgusting was that he also saw traces of teeth on some white bones, and they were human teeth, what does this mean?
"What the hell is this place!" Shu Ze said with mixed feelings.
Meng Zitao frowned and said, "Maybe it was a place used to display corpses at that time." ”
"If this is the place where the corpses are displayed, does that mean there is no exit?" Shu Ze said with a frown.
"Not necessarily. ”
Meng Zitao said: "Think about it, if the entrance is used to connect this place, why is it placed in the ancient well, and the entrance is so small, how inconvenient it is to carry the corpse?"
"You're right. Shu Ze agreed, saying, "That means that the passage was deliberately dug here, and then led from this room to the outside, maybe by surprise to avoid being discovered?"
Meng Zitao nodded: "It's possible, but whether it's or not, we have to find out." ”
The two searched separately, but in addition to the bones, the bones were still bones in the entire room, and there was no mural comparison, and they searched around, but they didn't find any clues.
"Did you find anything there?" asked Shuzer.
Meng Zitao shook his head: "What about you?"
Shu Ze also shook his head: "What can I do about this?"
Meng Zitao said: "It seems that I can only jump into this pit to see." ”
"This ......" Shu Ze looked at the big pit, a little shivering.
The big pit that Meng Zitao said is a large pit located in the south of the room, with a vertical drop estimated to be about three meters, and it is full of white bones, which looks even more terrifying.
"I'll go first and see, and I'll call you again if there's a clue. Meng Zitao said.
"What are you talking about?" Shu Ze was not happy.
Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "We may have to be in the desert for a while, you better save your physical strength, my physical strength is much better than yours." ”
"Uh......" Shu Ze knew that what Meng Zitao said was the truth, and hesitated for a moment but agreed.
Meng Zitao had a special ability to help, if he didn't want to be too obvious, he would have been able to find the exit just now, so he didn't let Shu Ze wait long, he discovered the secret way.
This secret passage is also very narrow, only enough for one person to crawl forward, and I don't know how long they climbed, they finally came to the end of the secret passage.
Here, they made another unexpected discovery, a skeleton in front of the exit, and he was holding a box in his hand.
As soon as Meng Zitao touched it, the box scattered, and several pieces of the best ink dragon jade scattered in all directions.
Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, he cared more about other treasures than Mo Longyu. Of course, in the face of life, no treasure is of use.
Putting the Mo Longyu and the bones aside, Meng Zitao went up to check the exit, but found that he couldn't push it.
Shu Ze guessed: "It may be a desert outside, and the exit is buried by sand." ”
Meng Zitao said: "No, it should still be a layer of stone and soil, otherwise this place has collapsed." ”
Shu Ze asked, "Then what should we do? Dig up the sand on it?"
"There's no other way. I just hope the sand isn't too thick. ”
Meng Zitao ate some things first to replenish his physical strength and water. After that, he first cut the exit with his sword, only to find a large rock outside.
Seeing this, a few thoughts flashed in Meng Zitao's heart, it is likely that there was not only one person who ran out at the beginning, but after the predecessors went out, they blocked the entrance of the cave with a boulder, no wonder there were so many scratches on the stone slab at the exit, which shows how desperate the deceased was at that time.
Whether this is the case or not, only the parties concerned know, Meng Zitao thought about it, put this matter aside, and began to dig. Fortunately, he has a sword in his hand that sharpens iron like clay, otherwise it would be light.
In fact, digging stones is very simple, and the soil behind the stones is a little troublesome, especially sand, which Mencius Tao did not have. Fortunately, he has the ability to know in advance how thick the sand above is, so he can prepare in advance, and if he is replaced by someone else, the digging route is not right, and it is entirely possible to be buried alive by the sand.
"Haha, it's finally out!"
Although the sun was scorching in the desert, in Shu Ze's eyes, how kind the sun was at this time, he hugged Meng Zitao and screamed and jumped, venting his previous fear in the underground palace.
"Okay, save some effort, and when you return home, it's not too late to celebrate. ”
Meng Zitao patted Shu Ze's shoulder with a smile, looked around, and found that the surrounding environment had changed very much, as if the entire ground had become a layer shallow, which should have been affected by the collapse of the underground palace.
Shu Ze can be regarded as having seen strong winds and waves, and quickly adjusted his mood: "Let's wait for someone to rescue, or go first?"
"We must rely on others as well as ourselves. Meng Zitao took out the compass and looked at the direction, and waved his big hand: "Let's go!"
