Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Flooded Underground Palace

Yang You got up, jumped on the grave and glanced at the coffin, and said hatefully: "Damn, this demon actually laid a mechanism in his coffin." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

I jumped up and looked inside the coffin, only to see that the coffin pillow on which the dry corpse had been pillow had sunk down, and the sound of "Caracalla" came from under the coffin. Needless to say, it is known that this trap is designed for tomb robbers, and as soon as the body is moved, the mechanism will be activated immediately.

It's just that what is the vibration just now and the "bang" sound I heard?

This thought only flashed in my mind, and then I heard Mango head cry out in terror: "Uncle, there is water, and there is water flooding." ”

Water?

I jumped off the mound of grave next to the coffin, but there was a "bang", there was a sound of water, and I stepped on the ankle-less water.

"Damn, why is it so hot?" Luo Dascar also jumped off the grave, and as soon as his foot was touched, he jumped up screaming.

To be honest, standing in the water does feel the heat, and the mechanism in this tomb does not know where to connect to the hot spring, but I am afraid that the designer of the mechanism not only wants to drown the tomb robbers, but also wants to burn the tomb robbers who have slipped through the net to death.

"We've got to get out of here, it's going to be fast." Yang You also jumped down from the grave, and as soon as his feet entered the water, he frowned and said.

In fact, I don't need her to say that the water has risen to my knees, and if I don't walk, I will be scalded to death if I don't drown. We immediately returned along the road, dripping hot water to the passage in and into the coffin of the king of Nanyue. It's just that by this time, the water has reached my waist.

I walked in front of me, and suddenly my figure was stunned, and the head of Mango, who was walking behind me, hit my back, and one was unsteady on his feet, and almost slipped in the water.

"Uncle, why did you stop? I was sweating from this hot bath, and I was almost scalding if I didn't go away. "Mango Head is short and stocky, and the water is up to my waist, but it reaches his chest, and he can swim in the water.

"Rope, rope is gone!" I looked at the place where I had thrown the rope and said to the three people in the back.

Luo Dasa walked over the mango head to me, looked at it, and said, "Fortunately, this place is not deep, Huang Shang, let's stack Arhats, send Teacher Yang and Mango Head out first, and then they will pull us up." ”

The situation was urgent, and I had to do this when I thought about it, so Luo Da Scar was below, and I was standing on his shoulder, which was just the right height. I first pulled Yang You up, let her climb our bodies up first, and then pull the mango head. Who knew that his weight and water were wet, his whole body was slippery, and he couldn't climb up after crawling several times, and almost fell into the water.

", it's so hot, mango head, hurry up, I'm going to burn to death." The hot water had already flooded Luo Dascar's chest, and his whole body was hot.

Mango head snorted and panted on my shoulder, and said, "Brother Big Scar, I want to too, but this hand is slippery, ah ......" As soon as he spoke, he breathed, and saw that he was about to fall off my shoulder, but fortunately, Yang You grabbed his hand in time from above, and it took a lot of hard work to pull him up.

As soon as the two of them went up, they found a climbing rope from the backpack left by Professor Jia above and threw it down, pulling Luo Dascar and me up. I'm fine, but Luo Dascar is miserable, the skin below his chest is red and swollen from hot water, and his hand screams in pain as soon as he touches it.

Yang You looked at it and said, "It's okay, it's just that it's been soaked in hot water for a long time, it's not a scald, and it will recover when the heat dissipates." ”

Luo Dascar blew on his arm and said miserably: "Teacher Yang, you said it lightly, I am red and swollen, and I don't know if my skin will leave scars." ”

I poked him in the arm, and he screamed in pain, "You don't eat on the skin on your body, what kind of scars are you afraid of, didn't your father give you the name Big Scar a long time ago, he was really prescient." ”

Luo Da Scar saw me laughing at him, and he was angry and wanted to ask me to raise the bar, Yang You was afraid that we would make an endless fuss, so he stopped: "Don't make any noise, it's not safe here, you see, the hot water rises very quickly, according to this amount of water, I'm afraid that in a short time, this underground palace will also be flooded." ”

"No, this underground palace is huge, where does so much water come from under this ground?" Luo Dascar exclaimed.

My heart flickered, and I said, "It's absolutely possible that the trap channel of this burial chamber leads to the underground lake where we came." The water of the underground lake has been heated by corpse oil, which may have triggered a geological movement, once the lake water all poured into the underground palace, it is normal for this place to be flooded, just enough to drown all of us tomb robbers, even if we take more things, we can't leave, according to the will of the tomb owner. ”

Yang You's route to the tomb was different from ours, and when I asked about the underground lake, I briefly said it, and her face also changed, and she said, "Then we have to leave quickly." ”

My backpack was taken away by Professor Jia, so I put on a backpack with a golden jade robe, and when I turned around, I saw the foreigner Reddy lying on the ground, he was seriously injured, he was frightened and climbed up to the high platform, and now he can't move anymore.

He was still conscious, staring at us with a look of horror and despair in his eyes, begging us to save him. Although Leddy was ordered by Professor Jia to threaten us several times, it was not too bad, so I said to Luo Da Scar: "Big Scar, you can carry him on your back, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Luo Dascar muttered about the foreigner's previous threats to us, and I kicked him over, and I scolded you, as a revolutionary soldier, where is the consciousness of an advanced party member, this is a human life. He also said that why don't you carry it, I said that my physical strength is not comparable to yours, and I can't complete this arduous revolutionary task.

Luo Dascar was actually just talking about it, and when he saw me admit it, his face was full of anger, and he said straightly, how can your small body compare with me. I laughed secretly in my heart, I don't know about his two moments, but I can make him obedient just by moving his mouth.

We walked out from the green path, and the water under the high platform was already falling. In my hurry, I looked back, only to see that the four shark lamps that had been burning had gone out at the same time, which made my heart beat a little faster. I don't know what that means, but I feel like there's a real race against death these days.

When we went around the three huge Buddha statues and ran to the stone bridge, Yang You, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. I saw her stop for no reason, and I cried out in my heart, and immediately walked up to her, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see the turbulent water, pouring in from the door of the underground palace, and I didn't need to look to know that the square outside and even the entire underground were flooded by the water of the underground lake.

"Uncle, what should we do now?" Mango Head exclaimed.

My forehead is covered with sweat, and in this situation, unless I can fly, I am afraid that this underground palace is where we are buried.

Suddenly, Yang You, who was beside me, reflexively walked back, beckoning us to follow her as she walked. I knew she must have thought of something, so everyone retreated to the three huge Buddha statues in the underground palace.

Yang You looked up at the Buddha statue for a while, and said to us: "The underground palace is surrounded by the lake, and the only way to escape now is to climb this Buddha statue and find a way out from the top of the underground palace." ”

I looked up at the huge Buddha statue and took a breath. This Buddha statue is at least thirty or forty meters high, and it is definitely a test of physical strength to do almost rock climbing in such an environment.

Yang You put the remaining rope in the backpack on his arm and said, "I'll climb up first, and every once in a while, I will throw a piece of rope, and then you can grab the rope and go up." ”

As she spoke, Yang You had already climbed up, she was petite, but extremely flexible, and had climbed nearly ten meters high in less than a few minutes. I looked up and saw her whirring figure, and a thought flashed through my heart, we are not related to her, if she leaves......

As soon as the thought was halfway up, he heard the sound of hula in the air, and Yang You threw the rope down, the height was just up to his chest, and he could grab it with his hand. I saw her figure moving on it, and motioned for us to climb up in the direction she climbed, and I couldn't help but curse myself in my heart for living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so I let Luo Da Scar, who was carrying Leddy, go up first, followed by Mango Head.

I saw them stop and wave to me as they climbed to the Buddha's leg. When I turned my head to look, I found that the water had already flooded to the base of the Buddha statue, so I didn't hesitate to grab the rope and climb up. Climbing may seem simple, but it actually requires a lot of arm strength. When I climbed to meet them, my arms were so sore that I couldn't feel anything, and I couldn't help but admire Luo Da Scar, who was still carrying a man of more than 100 pounds behind his back.

Yang You saw that we all came up, so he put away the rope, turned around and climbed up again, I saw that the gauze on her calf was oozing blood, and her forehead was full of sweat, needless to say, I also knew that she was struggling, so I took the rope in her hand at the moment, and without waiting for her and others to react, I turned around and found an easy place to climb, and climbed up.

In fact, the focus of our hands and feet is the folds and bumps on the body of the Buddha statue, coupled with the lack of light, as long as one is not careful when climbing up, it will fall. I gritted my teeth and slowly groped my way up, the clothes behind me were already soaked with sweat, and finally I climbed up again.

I found a place where I could stay, threw down the ropes, and pulled them up one by one, as I had done before. After repeating this two or three times, we were lucky enough to climb to the shoulder of the Buddha statue.

My whole body was like falling apart, my body was lying flat and I didn't want to move anymore, and other people were not much better than me, especially Luo Dascar, who had to carry Leddy on his back, and couldn't get up when he lay down.

I squinted at the dark space under the Buddha statue, and my mind was blank, almost fragmented, because I couldn't believe that a few of us could climb to a height of thirty or forty meters with our bare hands without any protective gear, and there were no accidents. If I were to climb again, there would be no such effect, and I have to say that when people escape, their potential power is only endless.

Before he could lie down for two minutes, Yang You said, "It's not a safe place yet, look over there!" ”

The dungeon was built against the mountain wall, and the place where she pointed was the top of the dungeon near the mountain wall. The simple torches in our hands had a limited range of light, and I craned my neck to look at it for a long time, but I couldn't see what was there, so I asked, "What's there?" ”

Yang You said: "This underground palace is not roofed, don't you think it's strange?" ”

When she said this, I realized that we originally thought that we would climb to the top of this Buddha statue, first find the top of the underground palace, and then climb up from the top, but who knew that this underground palace was not covered with a roof.

Yang You said again: "This underground palace may not have been there in the first place, but it is also possible that the roof has been artificially demolished, otherwise it is not easy for these three huge Buddha statues to appear in the underground palace." ”

I felt a stirring in my heart, and said, "You mean that on the other side of the mountain wall, maybe you can find tools such as slings when making Buddha statues?" ”

Yang You looked at the dark mountain wall and said, "I'm just guessing, whether there is one or not, we have to go over there to find out." ”

Since the place where we climbed was the left shoulder of the Buddha statue, and the mountain wall was close to the right shoulder of the Buddha statue, the distance between the left shoulder and the right shoulder was not far, but it took us a lot of time to climb over the huge head of the Buddha statue.

While we were delayed, the water of the underground lake had risen above the chest of the Buddha statue, and at this speed, in less than half an hour, the entire Buddha statue would be submerged in the water.

After we landed on the right shoulder of the Buddha statue, we immediately ran to the front of the mountain wall according to Yang You's speculation, and carefully looked for any tools such as slings, but the entire mountain wall was as black as ink, and the light of the simple torch could not be seen three meters away, how could we find it.

Fortunately, the mango head is sharp-eyed, and on the dark mountain wall, I saw that there seemed to be a long strip of "rope" and the like at a height of more than 1 meter from us, I don't know if it was a sling tool judged by Yang You. But the problem is that the rope is more than 1 meter away from the edge where we are standing, and we can't reach it even by reaching out.

Just when I wanted to discuss with them what way to get closer, suddenly Yang You jumped and grabbed the long piece with both hands. I heard the sound of "pop, pop" in the space above Yang You, which must have been caused by the shaking of the object she was grasping.

"You don't want to die, you don't even know what that thing is, jump over it." I shouted angrily at Yang You.

Yang You grabbed the long thing tightly with one hand, tied the rope with the other and threw it over, and said, "There's no time to hesitate, if you don't go up, everyone will die here." After saying that, he grabbed the long thing and climbed up, saying that he was going up to explore the way.

I sighed in my heart that this chick was also a terrible master, and after a while, she climbed down again, and said: "I found the way, this must be part of the sling tool, you climb carefully, as long as you climb to the top, so that there are more sling tools, and you will definitely find a way out if you climb up." After saying that, he climbed up again.

I don't know what the long strip in her hand is, it looks dark from a distance, and I don't know if it's secure, in case she climbs halfway and falls, it's not a joke.

I asked Luo Dascar and Mango Head to wait below, and I climbed along the rope tied by Yang You. As soon as my hand touched the long object, there was a cold sensation, and it turned out to be a bronze chain. It is also reasonable to imagine that a Buddha statue should be built in this underground palace, and a bronze chain should be used as a sling tool.

I climbed up along the bronze chain, and it didn't take long to see Yang You sitting at the junction formed by the intersection of several bronze chains, motionless looking at the mountain wall not far away, as if he was stupid.
