Chapter 14: The First Encounter
Mu Xiu didn't speak, but took out a small hammer and struck it around the ground and the wall, and finally when he hit the middle of the ground, the ground made a sound that was different from the others.
The sound coming out of other places was very muffled, but the sound coming out there was very loud, and I didn't expect such a special thing to happen in this seemingly unremarkable place.
After he determined the position, he took out an iron cone and fixed it on the ground, and then struck it lightly with a hammer, and the iron cone was inserted into half of it.
I was even more amazed, this stone cave that looked so hard, he knocked it a few times, and the iron cone was inserted into it, is the ground too fragile or what?
After a while, Mu Xiu grabbed the half of the iron cone that was exposed, and pulled out the entire iron cone with a little force, this action and momentum were simply cool!
Just as I looked at him with a look of admiration, I saw him rummage through his bag a few times, and then took out a small black bag, and when he opened the bag, I saw that it was full of clear glass bottles and jars of powder.
I wondered, are these spices? What's the use?
Later, I saw him take out a few small bottles, and then pour the powder in the bottles in turn into the small hole in order, and when he was ready, he put the things away.
"All stand back!"
He shouted and stepped back, and though we were all puzzled, we both did so far back.
Then I saw him take out a fire fold, and I wondered why anyone still used this thing, even if they didn't need a lighter!
I saw him blow the fire and burn it, and then threw it into the small hole with a flick of his hand.
"Get down!"
Before I could react, my body was suddenly pounced on and fell heavily to the ground, followed by a loud "boom", and my eardrums were about to burst.
"Alright." After Mu Xiu finished speaking, he left me and stood up.
I saw that the place where the explosion had just exploded had become a big hole by this time, and I saw that the others had already stood up.
"Young man, I didn't expect you to be more ruthless than us!" Xiang Anton looked at the hole and couldn't help but marvel.
"Get up!" Mu Xiu reached out to me, and I grabbed his hand without thinking about anything, and then I was pulled up.
A group of us walked to the edge of the hole, only to find that the hole had been blown deep and some muddy water was oozing from the bottom.
"Pry it open." Mu Xiu said, and took the lead in taking a folding shovel and walked down.
The others also took out their folding shovels to help, while I crouched to the side and watched.
"Ah~!" Suddenly, He Yufeng's exclamation was heard, and the next moment he was already picked up by Mu Xiu.
It turned out that He Yufeng was digging and digging just now, and the insomnia under his feet collapsed, almost throwing him down.
"All up!" Mu Xiu said this suddenly, and everyone didn't care so much, so they all climbed up.
Then we saw that the gravel surface at the bottom of the hole suddenly all collapsed, revealing a large pool of silt.
I wondered, how could there be silt in this halfway up the mountain? Isn't this a stone mountain? Even if there is rain all year round, it is impossible to have a large area of silt!
"Mu Xiu, how can this be?" It was the first time I called his name.
"Below is the swamp pool." Mu Xiu's face was pale.
"Is there anything down there?" I asked, puzzled.
"The Underground Palace." Mu Xiudao.
"It turns out that there is a tomb here, hurry up and dive down to find the way." Xiang Anton couldn't wait to pack his bags and was ready to jump.
"Wait a minute!" Mu Xiu suddenly shouted, stopping them in place, "If you want to die, jump down now." ”
Then they look at me, I look at you, and finally they say to Anton, "Young man, are you too worried?" Isn't it just a swamp pond, and can it kill us? It's not like I haven't encountered it before. ”
"Those tombs used to be easy to break into, do you think these are ordinary ordinary tombs?"
Mu Xiu swept over each of them with his eyes, and continued, "If it's just an ordinary swamp, of course there is no danger, but there are leeches that have been sleeping for thousands of years below, and you can't go down enough for them to fill their stomachs." ”
Hearing Mu Xiu say this, a few of them withered, and the momentum just now was all gone, because it was indeed they who were too careless, if there were really leeches underneath, then a hundred of them would not be enough to die.
"So, what should I do?" He Zhirong asked scaredly.
Mu Xiu didn't speak, but looked at me, I met his eyes in confusion, I thought to myself that he wouldn't take me under the knife, right?
"You figure it out." He said.
"Me? What can I do? "I'm puzzled, doesn't he know everything? Why do you have to figure it out?
"If you can't figure out a way, we'll have to go back." So saying, he made a gesture and walked outside.
"Oh, I said girl, you should hurry up and think of a way!" Xiang Anton looked at me anxiously, and the others followed suit.
I looked at them helplessly, I knew that they had finally arrived, and I knew that there was a big fight, and if I went back like this, they would definitely not follow.
If I don't want to say maybe I'll have to tie me up, whether I'm related to them or not!
I walked around the side with my hands behind my back several times, what should I do? Is there any way to go down? Do you use something to get all the mud out? But that's not going to work!
This swamp pond looks like it should be huge, and if you want to clear the silt, you have to use the kind of machine that pumps river sand.
But now I can't find a sand pump, even if I find that this is halfway up the mountain, can I get it?
Now I made a difficulty, the pace of walking on the side became more and more rapid, and my head was a mess, thinking that this would not work, and that would not work, and my head was about to explode.
Then I really couldn't help it, so I opened my bag and saw if there was anything I could use.
Sure enough, I saw a bundle of medical bandages and several rolls of medical tape in my bag, which I used to bandage and treat my wounds when I was injured.
I took out my bandages and tape and said to them happily, "I've figured it out!" ”
They asked me what I could do, what the tape was for, and I told them about my plan, and they all nodded in agreement.
I asked them to put on gloves to pull up their socks and pull down their trouser legs, and then I expertly helped them wrap the cuffs of their trousers around the cuffs with bandages and several layers of tape.
The arms and heads were also bandaged and taped, and I couldn't help but laugh when I got them done, because they looked so much like mummies.
