Volume 4 The Stormy Waves of the Ming Sea Chapter 334 Sea Ghost Passage
In fact, the real small treasures are placed in jewelry boxes and coffins.
Each of the four of them was given two or three things to carry with them, and after they went out, they each kept one of the things they wanted to keep the most, and the rest was given to Boss Wei - of course, this did not include the emerald orb that was taken from the skeleton's mouth.
In addition, bring one or two gold and silver artifacts that cannot be hidden, but can be held in your hands and hung on your waist, and prepare to take them out together, which can be regarded as a better explanation for the salvage ship.
After that, a few people got off the wooden boat and began to look for a way out.
But no passage was found.
On the four walls of the big room, there were no other mechanisms or passages except for the two passages through which they had entered.
Several people were deflated at once. Jiang Peng, in particular, sat directly on the ground.
Ding Sicheng was afraid that if the delay was too long and the lighting power was insufficient, then they would be even more dead.
So let Poplar and Tie Niu turn off the lights on their heads first, and a few people frowned and thought about what to do next.
Tie Niu suddenly thought about it and said, "Could it be that there is a passage above this roof?"
Ding Sicheng didn't answer, and Bai Yang said: "The height of this roof is at least four meters or more, even if there is a passage on the roof, we can't search carefully!"
"Then let's just get out and look for it again in the house where we fell in! Isn't there a big hole in the roof of that house? Let's find a way to get into that big hole, and maybe we can be washed out of the tomb by that strange flow of water!"
Iron Bull's idea is not at least impossible in Bai Yang's opinion, after all, the current is indeed very strange, maybe it can rush people in and out.
Although the height of the room was also three meters, and the large hole in the roof was facing the waterhole, it was not easy to climb into that large hole, but as long as you set a goal, you can always figure out a way.
Bai Yang pondered so much in his heart, he didn't say it, but turned his eyes to look at Ding Sicheng, waiting for his statement.
Ding Sicheng suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed to the corpse of the sea ghost lying on the ground, and said, "How do you think this sea ghost came in?"
Several people were slightly stunned.
Poplar was the first to understand, and said happily: "Yes, although this sea ghost is not particularly tall, but his upper body is strong, but the entrance to the tomb where we came first is very narrow, and it is really difficult for the sea ghost to climb in and out of that entrance." What's more, all the mechanisms have not been destroyed all the way in, so it is impossible for the sea ghost to come in through the same entrance where we entered. As long as we find the entrance where the sea ghost enters, we can go out along that entrance. ”
"But...... Couldn't this sea ghost be placed in the tomb to guard the tomb when the tomb was built?, and according to you, the passage we came in was not dug by the sea ghost, so what else could it be?" Iron Bull asked.
"It's hard for us to guess what kind of entrance was dug through, but I agree with Xiaobai's statement, it's unlikely that the sea ghost came in through the same passage we entered...... Could it be that at the beginning of the construction of the tomb, the sea ghost was put into guard the tomb, at least I don't think it's possible!" Ding Sicheng said this, turned his head and asked Jiang Peng, "When Master Jiang came in, what form did this sea ghost take? Or in other words, is it possible that the sea ghost was asleep, but was awakened by Master Jiang and that Xiao He coming in?"
Jiang Peng was already discouraged and powerless, so he could only watch Ding Sicheng discuss with Baiyang Tieniu, pinning all his hopes for survival on these three "masters and apprentices" who seemed to him to have extraordinary skills.
Hearing Ding Sicheng ask in front of him, Jiang Peng trembled, as if he remembered the previous encounter with the sea ghost, and still felt very terrifying.
But Ding Sicheng and the other three were all focused on him, and Jiang Peng could only take a breath and answer.
"We ...... I'm ...... with Xiao He When we came in, we were very excited when we first saw this big ship, because we knew that this must be the core burial chamber, and all the valuable things must be on this wooden ship!"
When he said this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and calmed down a little before continuing.
For the sake of prudence, I first looked around the wooden boat, but Xiao He climbed directly onto the wooden boat! I was afraid that Xiao He would take advantage of it, and I was about to climb onto the wooden boat with me, when I heard Xiao He suddenly scream! I was taken aback, and hurriedly went around the stern of the wooden boat, just in time to see the light on Xiao He's head, projected from above the wooden boat, clearly shining on a ...... On the oily monster!"
Jiang Peng's body trembled a little again, Ding Sicheng hurriedly stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and asked him, "You mean...... The first time you saw the sea ghost was under the wooden boat? Where the sea ghost stood, did you check before? Could it be that the sea ghost was sleeping in that place, and you came in and woke it up?"
"No!" Jiang Peng immediately shook his head, "When I saw the sea ghost, the sea ghost was standing next to the passage we came into, and the place we saw at a glance as soon as we entered, it couldn't be as big as the sea ghost, but we couldn't see it at all!"
"Could that be...... The sea ghost is following you, through the same passage you entered?" Poplar blurted out.
"This ...... I don't know!" Jiang Peng shook his head blankly, his face pale and continued, "I only know...... That's the legendary ...... Sea ghosts, and I know that sea ghosts are fierce by nature, and they will skin and chew bones when they kill people! So I was so frightened that I quickly turned off the light on my head, and shrank in the corner of the wall and didn't dare to move. Afterwards...... I saw that the sea ghost jumped lightly, jumped into the wooden boat, and ...... Xiao He screamed and jumped off the wooden boat, and fled directly into the passage where we entered. Then I saw ...... The sea ghost also chased into the passage. I heard Xiao He screaming in the passage, I knew ...... I should have rushed in to help him, but I ...... I'm really weak and have no strength!"
He stopped again as he said this, bowing his head in some shock and some shame.
Poplar and Tie Niu both had some contempt, because if it was the two of them, even if they fought for their lives, they would never let their companions be chased and killed by sea ghosts, but they were so frightened that they hid aside and didn't dare to move.
So neither of them spoke, and Ding Sicheng didn't say anything, just waiting to tell the story.
"Later...... It didn't take long for the sea ghost to walk in again with Xiao He, who was motionless. I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to look at it, so I shrank in the boat and didn't dare to say anything. Who knows...... Who knows...... I suddenly heard Xiao He's scream, I didn't expect Xiao He to be alive. Instinctively, I looked over and saw ...... The sea ghost grabbed Xiao He's two legs with both hands, tore them to both sides, and ...... Xiao He Teared in half!"
When Jiang Peng said this, he suddenly covered his face with his hands, and his whole body trembled like a sifting of chaff.
Ding Sicheng hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, the sea ghost has been killed by us!"
"Yes, the sea ghost has been killed by you, and only you can kill the sea ghost!" Jiang Peng took a breath, and finally raised his head again, with an expression that seemed to be about to cry, "How good it would be if I had such a skill as yours, then I would definitely rush out to fight the sea ghost! But I don't have the ability like yours, but instead, ...... I watched Xiao He's internal organs spill on the ground, and suddenly ...... was completely stupefied, and felt that Xiao He's blood was like ...... Splashed in my face! and ...... That sea ghost suddenly glanced at me, and I really felt ...... It looked at me! at that time...... The light on Xiao He's head was still on, so I could clearly see that the two eyes of the sea ghost seemed to be ...... It was very cruel and terrifying to look at me, and I felt ...... I'm about to be torn in half by it, and I'm just scared...... My whole body is weak, my brain is dizzy, and I feel ...... Unable to move, unable to think, as if ...... It's like falling into a nightmare!"
At the end of his speech, he couldn't help choking slightly, hurriedly lowered his head, and gently rubbed his eyes with his hand.
Poplar Tie Niu was still silent, but Ding Sicheng kept gently patting Jiang Peng's shoulder to appease.
After a while, Jiang Peng raised his head again and said, "Fortunately...... And Master Chen, the three of you, or else...... I'm sure I'll be torn to shreds by sea ghosts too!"
Ding Sicheng nodded, turned his eyes to look at Bai Yang and Tie Niu, and said: "In this way, this sea ghost should have followed Master Jiang and them in! Let's follow the path that Master Jiang walked, if there is no other passage, then we can only walk back to the room where we fell in, and see if we can find a way to get into the big hole in the roof." I hope that it can really be like what Tie Niu said, that strange current can still wash us out again. ”
"I think so too!" Bai Yang immediately agreed, "Why don't you sit with Master Jiang, Master, and Lao Hei and I will go to the passage that Master Jiang walked through first, right?"
"Let's go or go together! There may be something strange hidden in this big tomb, so we'd better not separate!" Ding Sicheng said, standing up from the ground.
Jiang Peng was sitting on the ground, but he hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, we'd better not separate!"
"Then check your things, bring all the things you need to bring!" Ding Sicheng said, thinking about it and adding a few words, "Even if we can find a way out, we don't know how long we will stay in the seawater, so we have to find a few intact air tanks on our backs!"
Several people were busy checking the small items that they were going to take with them, Poplar Tie Niu was still carrying a javelin, and then Poplar walked in the front, Jiang Peng walked in the second place, and a group of four people walked towards the passage where Jiang Peng and they entered.
Tie Niu walked at the end and couldn't help but ask, "Do we still want to close the door of this passage again?"
"It's okay to close it or not, anyway, except for the salvage team, no one else can come in here!" Ding Sicheng replied, and asked Jiang Peng in front of him, "What do you say, Master Jiang?"
"Is there a door here?" Jiang Peng said, looking back at Ding Sicheng and the other three with doubts.
Ding Sicheng was slightly startled, and blurted out, "When Master Jiang came in, was this passage open?"
"Yes, I didn't know there was a door!" replied Jiang Peng.
Xu was surprised when he saw the other three people, and Jiang Peng also shuddered.
"There is indeed a door here!" Ding Sicheng said, pointing to the very edge of the wall on the left, and then to the ground, "Master Jiang, look at these traces, 100% of this place has been sealed by a door, or a wall! Could it be that when Master Jiang came in, the activation mechanism opened the door?"
"It's not us! it was open when we came, so we haven't checked it carefully at all!" Jiang Peng said, and couldn't help but shudder, "Could it be ...... Is there any other person or monster here that has been in before us?"
