Chapter 51: A Tomb in a Tomb
"Poof!"
Lu Xiao, who fell from above, and Gao Jie, who was in his arms, both fell into the water, and huge splashes flew in all directions.
The river was bitterly cold, and the current was strong where they fell.
Suddenly like water, even a person like Lu Xiao, who is familiar with water, shuddered, and stabilized his body, not to mention a person like Gao Jie who doesn't know water.
"Ahem!" As soon as it was like water, Gao Jie took a few big sips, coughed fiercely, and then lost his voice.
Lu Xiao was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly hugged Gao Jie's waist, sent her head to the water, so that she could breathe fresh air, and then hurriedly swam towards the riverbank.
Lu Xiao and Gao Jie quickly came to the riverbank, but at this time, Gao Jie had stopped beating and breathing.
Lu Xiao's eyes froze, and he immediately pressed Gao Jie's chest. The big and generous warm hand left a clear red palm print on the white chest.
After a few compressions, Gao Jie's heart was finally beating again after a brief shock.
At this time, Lu Xiao gave Gao Jie another artificial respiration.
"Whew!"
The lips met, and a cold feeling entered Lu Xiao's nerves.
"Ahem!" After two consecutive artificial respirations, Gao Jie finally spat out a few mouthfuls of icy underground river water.
It's just that due to the lack of oxygen during this time, Gao Jie did not wake up immediately, but hugged his shoulders tightly with both hands, and the whole person was trembling incessantly. And a pretty face has already turned white because of the cold, a pair of show knuckles are also weakly pale, and the clothes on the body are wet and dripping.
Lu Xiao has good physical fitness, but he can resist the cold of evaporating water vapor after being wet. But Gao Jie is just a weak female streamer, and she choked on water just now, with her current state, let alone continuing to move forward with Lu Xiao, just wait a few more minutes, it is estimated that she will faint.
Today, Lu Xiao just wanted to bring the depressed Gao Jie here to relax, but he didn't expect him to bring Gao Jie into such a trap.
Lu Xiao, who was already a little sorry in his heart, saw Gao Jie like this, and couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly helped her up again, turned her back to himself, and then connected a few fingers on Gao Jie's powder.
Lu Xiao just pointed a few fingers, Gao Jie, who was already in a semi-comatose state, only felt that a warm current suddenly rose in her stomach, and the whole person had a warm feeling, and her wet clothes actually formed a white smoke visible to the naked eye due to the rapid evaporation.
If an ordinary person was present, they would definitely be surprised to find that in less than a minute, the moisture on Gao Jie's clothes had disappeared completely.
"Whew!" At this time, Lu Xiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and gently put Gao Jie, who was still in a coma, on a relatively dry and soft sandy ground.
Subsequently, he tied the two pages of the incomparably precious Heavenly Machine Book tightly to his left arm, and this was obviously not a good time to study the Heavenly Machine Book.
After doing this, Lu Xiao observed the surrounding environment.
The place where they fell was inside this hidden tomb within a tomb, a naturally formed underground river. The sides of the river are mostly gravel, and some messy wood, which looks like it has been processed and damaged.
However, the width from both sides of the river to the stone wall is surprisingly similar, almost about five meters, and there are traces of artificial carving on the stone walls on both sides. Not only that, but on the stone walls on both sides, at intervals, there is also an unknown stone that glows, but it is not a night pearl, which is also the reason why Lu Xiao can see the surrounding environment clearly.
Lu Xiao's mind remained clear after he fell, and he clearly remembered that Rodriguez and his bodyguards did not fall into the same place as him, and it was obvious that he was separated from them.
So the top priority is to find them as soon as possible, and then take everyone with them and leave this hellish place alive.
But because Lu Xiao didn't know where Rodriguez and the others would fall, and he didn't know where the exit of this tomb was?
Therefore, according to Lu Xiao's observation, there are only two paths left for him now, going up the river and going downstream.
After observing, Lu Xiao did not delay a little time, and casually took out his teacher Mo Wentian, the sixteenth birthday gift that he gave him from his arms, three official copper coins during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty - Qianlong Tongbao.
Then, Lu Xiao reverently put the three copper coins in the palm of his left hand, and then threw them into the air.
Three copper coins cut a graceful arc in the air, spinning and falling with a touch of bronze glow. landed on the boulder in front of Lu Xiao, and there were three crisp sounds.
Looking at the front and back of the three Qianlong Tongbao, Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, but he muttered a little in his mouth, "Born against it, lost." Less yin, the hexagram becomes yang, no regrets. Is this a hexagram for survival in death? ”
The hexagram divined by Lu Xiao originally said that if Lu Xiao went upriver along this underground river, it would represent life, but he would lose a lot of things he cared about. But the next sentence is a twist, if you go down the river, it is a place of ten deaths, but there is a glimmer of hope for life, but there is no regret.
Lu Xiao looked at Gao Jie, who was still in a coma, and thought about the lost Rodriguez and the many bodyguards, as well as Yelena, who was about to die like a vegetative person, Lu Xiao's determined eyes gradually lit up.
"Hmm!"
At this time, with a bang, Gao Jie, who had just fainted, woke up slowly.
Her slender eyelashes moved, and Gao Jie opened her big clear and kind eyes. What caught his eye was Lu Xiao, who had heard the prestige.
I don't know why, Gao Jie at this time saw Lu Xiao's concerned eyes, and her pretty face turned slightly red for no reason.
"Are you awake and feeling better?" Seeing that Gao Jie had woken up, Lu Xiao hurriedly asked with concern.
Gao Jie nodded slightly, and then sat up slowly.
Lu Xiao looked at Gao Jie, who was doing it alone, and then let go of most of his heart, "I wanted you to come out to be able to relax, who would have thought that ......"
"Brother Lu, you also mean well, this matter is just an accident, and it has nothing to do with you." Gao Jie thought for Lu Xiao empathetically.
However, at this time, Gao Jie found that Lu Xiao suddenly stopped talking, and a pair of burning eyes stared at her intently.
Gao Jie was stunned for a moment, followed his gaze and looked down, and then her face was slightly red, and she immediately turned around, and then said angrily, "Phew! Stinky rascals! ”
It turned out that because the sky was like water just now, the opening on the shirt worn by Gao Jie fell off, just revealing the round and white semicircle, which was the same as her favorite red transparent tulle underwear that Lu Xiao saw in Gao Jie's dormitory last time. Moreover, it also has a clear red palm print printed on it.
Seeing Gao Jie's annoyed appearance when he turned his back to him, Lu Xiao shook his head, feeling the regret that the beautiful scenery had disappeared, and just wanted to tease the shy beauty in front of him again, but his ears moved, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked in the direction of the upper reaches of the underground river.
After a few seconds, shadows in the darkness slowly walked towards this side from the shore upstream.
But even Lu Xiao gasped when he saw those shadows.
The swarthy carapace, two wriggling and flexible tentacles, and a pair of short, thick fleshy wings on the back. Lu Xiao unexpectedly saw a group of extinct gold-eating ants again.
It's just that, unlike what I just saw above, the extinct gold-eating ants in the underground have evolved from the size of half a thumb to the size of a hand.
But the same, this group of large extinction gold-eating ants slowly coming from the banks of the underground river upstream, the same dense and overwhelming.
At this time, feeling that Lu Xiao had not made a sound for a long time, and his breathing was a little short, Gao Jie turned his head a little uncertainly, but saw Lu Xiao looking into the distance with a solemn gaze.
Gao Jie, who was a little puzzled, looked at Lu Xiao's gaze, "Ah! ”
Gao Jie, who had just escaped death, screamed again, but this time she forgot to cover her mouth.
Lu Xiao, who was standing next to him, just heard Gao Jie's shout, and knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, after the group of large-sized extinction gold-eating ants moving slowly in the shadows heard Gao Jie's sharp cry, the tentacles on their foreheads shook, and all the gold-eating ants stopped collectively like soldiers in the army.
Then, in the next second, they hurried in the direction of the sound, and their mouths made extremely unpleasant strange sounds, as if celebrating the joy of finding food.
At this time, Lu Xiao, who reacted quickly, pulled up Gao Jie, who was still in shock and did not come back to his senses, stepped on the rock on the shore with one foot, only to hear a bang, and the two of them flew directly into the underground river like cannonballs.
"Poof!"
The two of them were helpless for the second time.
The extinct gold-eating ants like moisture, but they are afraid of water, and at this time, Lu Xiao can only use the turbulent river water to outperform the gold-eating ants in speed. Moreover, at this time, he could only hope that these evolved gold-eating ants still couldn't water.
Falling into the icy underground river again, both of them shivered fiercely, but fortunately, this time Gao Jie was mentally prepared, and the moment she saw Rushui, she choked her breath, so this time she didn't choke on water.
Then, the two of them went straight down the turbulent underground river.
Moreover, going down the river is also the direction that Lu Xiao chose to move forward just now. Although he died nine times in his life, Lu Xiao still did not hesitate!
The large colony of gold-eating ants on the shore was still in hot pursuit, and it had been a long time since they had tasted such delicious food.
It's just that the ant power can't resist the power of nature after all, and the two people who went down the river gradually widened the distance between them and the gold-eating ants, and gradually left them behind.
The two of them drifted for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to a place where the water was gentle and only waist-deep. Lu Xiao supported Gao Jie, who was already a little out of strength, and slowly walked ashore!
And when the two of them walked to a boulder on the shore and saw the scene behind the boulder, the two of them shook at the same time, and their eyes revealed an incredible light......
