Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 512 Seeking Life from Death
Baiyang didn't bother to pay attention to Zheng Xiangtai, so he could only turn his head and want to discuss with the Red Door Lord.
But he saw that the lord of the red door was raising his face, looking at the words and pictures that filled the dome.
"Wouldn't the Lord of the Red Gate find clues to the other passages in these pictures?" asked Poplar hurriedly.
"How can it be so easy!" the Red Door Lord shook his head with a wry smile, "I can be sure that these text pictures are 100% "T Back Pictures", but ...... I can't understand these words, and naturally I can't get a glimpse of what mysteries are hidden in them, but ...... Look!"
She suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed around the entire dome-shaped tomb.
Everyone followed her fingers and turned their heads to look around.
"See what?" asked the Red Door Master.
Everyone shook their heads blankly.
Poplar's heart moved, and he faintly thought of something.
His contemplative demeanor immediately caught the eyes of the Red Gate Lord, so the Red Door Lord smiled and said, "It seems that Poplar knows what I let you see!"
Poplar's heart flashed with inspiration, and he blurted out: "This dome tomb is the only tomb that has not been eroded by tree roots!"
"That's right!" the Red Gate Lord nodded, "Those tree roots seem to be really spiritual, and they will actually bypass this domed tomb! Or maybe this domed tomb is so strong that even the root monster can't penetrate it!"
"What does the Lord of the Red Gate mean...... We didn't understand, can we make it more obvious?" Sun Hao asked.
"I don't mean anything special, I just think ...... It will be relatively safe to stay in this tomb!" said the Red Door Master.
"Yes, we just need to hold the front and back passages, and we don't have to worry about these roots coming out of the wall or from the roof!" Poplar nodded, but quickly frowned again, "But the problem is, we have to find a way to get out as soon as possible!"
"Then let's dig along this big hole and try it!" said the Red Gate Master, and then stretched out his hand to the big hole, "Since this domed tomb is very strong, then we are not afraid that when we dig out, it will cause this tomb to collapse!"
"That's good!" Sun Hao slapped his face violently, "This big hole already exists, as long as we dig out along this big hole, it will be much easier than digging another hole! If the passage outside has not completely collapsed, then it won't take long for us to dig through!"
"Impossible!" Poplar couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, "I chased here before, and I saw the mud splashing to block this big hole, and I could feel my feet trembling slightly, so ...... I'm afraid that not only the passage outside, but also the burial chamber with the dead body further ahead has collapsed!"
"Anyway, we always have to try!" Sun Hao said, already eager to try, "We still have a shovel in our hands, and it's not very difficult to dig up!"
"Yes, let's give it a try, it's better than being stuck here and doing nothing!" said Li Daya.
"Then give it a try, but be careful, although this domed tomb will not collapse, the earth that has collapsed outside will probably collapse again in the process of digging!" said Poplar.
"Don't worry, little brother Bai, let's be careful!" Li Da said.
When they came down before, they brought one or two of all kinds of tools. For example, a shovel brought one, while a crowbar brought two.
Poplar instructed the Iron Ox to stay at the entrance to the hole in the ground, which had been blocked, in case the roots of the tree suddenly came out of the dirt and hurt people. He was alone guarding the open passageway.
They are now sure that it is not just a tree root that will hurt people, and naturally they dare not have the slightest slack and sloppiness.
Li Er, the youngest of the several inverted bucket people, grabbed the shovel and dug for a while.
Finally, a large pile of earth was dug out and dumped on the ground of the dome tomb, and the big hole gradually reappeared in the shape of a shallow hole, but with a "bang", the upper soil layer collapsed again, blocking the shallow hole that Li Er had just dug up again.
Li Er couldn't help but scold, Zheng Xiangtai didn't give up, grabbed the shovel and dug it up.
But it didn't take long for the soil layer on it to leak again, and the shallow hole he had just dug was completely blocked.
Three or four times like this, an hour had passed, and the great hole was still tightly blocked with dirt, but a large pile of dirt had been piled up on the floor of the vaulted tomb.
All four of them were discouraged. Zheng Xiangtai suddenly threw the shovel to the ground, turned around and shouted at Bai Yang: "The surname Bai blames you! We have long wanted to quit, but you won't let us go! Otherwise, Lao Zhufeng and Xu Xiang will not die, you will be a murderer!"
He was originally afraid of Poplar, but now it seems that he has let it go, and he actually gritted his teeth and hated it.
Tie Niu was furious, and just jumped up and scolded "Old Bastard", the Red Gate Master pulled Tie Niu, sneered and said: "Master Zheng's good plan before was to kill the three of us and dominate the treasures in the underground palace, if you weren't vicious first, how could we not worry that you would leave behind? What's more, you didn't leave in the end, and it wasn't just that you couldn't beat Poplar, right? So I don't think you'd better fight here, if you want to get out alive, you still have to rely on poplars and iron bulls after all!"
Zheng Xiangtai was dumbfounded by the words of the Red Door Master, and Sun Hao hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Zheng, I think you should close your mouth and be quiet for a while, let Little Brother Bai think about what to do next!"
Sun Hao, like Li Da and Li Er, was very dissatisfied with Zheng Xiangtai, so he was already very polite when he spoke.
Zheng Xiangtai muttered with a sad face: "What else can I think of? It has been completely blocked in this big tomb, and this big hole can't be dug open, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to drill a hole directly from this more than 30 meters deep underground, right?"
Several people ignored him and unanimously focused their eyes on Poplar.
Bai Yang took a breath and said, "We don't necessarily have no way out, don't forget that just outside this stone gate, there is that living corpse guarding it! And I always firmly believe that Gongsun Xia will never escape at the level of a dead body, he must have found other exits from this tomb and escaped from other exits!"
Several people looked at each other, and the Red Gate Lord said first: "I agree with what Bai Yang said, and I also think that Gongsun Xia didn't escape when he encountered a live corpse, he must have entered a deeper tomb and found other exits!"
"If you are so sure that there are other exits, then why do you let us dig at the mouth of this hole for a long time?" Zheng Xiangtai said indignantly, still with a look of resentment.
Poplar didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Li Da said: "I understand what Little Brother Bai means, Little Brother Bai must think that the other exit is likely to be in the place where the root monster is entrenched, if we want to find that exit, we must fight the root monster head-on, right?"
"Yes, that's what I thought!" replied Poplar, "it's dangerous to fight the root monster head-on!, but we've been delayed here for a long time, I think...... The three of us are going to move on, but if you are afraid, you can stay in this vaulted chamber first. As the Lord of the Red Gate said, this vaulted tomb is a relatively safe place, as long as you guard this big hole that has been blocked, and the passage in front of you, you are not afraid of being attacked by the root monsters. If the three of us can escape, we will definitely find a way to get you out as soon as possible!"
Sun Hao and Li Da Li Er looked at each other, and Sun Hao said, "I think...... It's safer for us to follow Brother Bai!"
"Our brothers think the same way!" Li Da and Li Er said in unison.
Bai Yang looked at Sun Hao and Li Da Li Er, and said, "I have to tell you the truth, I and my brother have never met a root monster like this, and we are not at all sure if we can be its opponents!
"We understand!" Li Da opened his mouth to answer, "But I think with the skills of Little Brother Bai and Little Brother Tie, it is unlikely that Gongsun Xia and Master Zheng's seven or eight junior brothers combined back then would be the opponent of the two, right? But in this way, Gongsun Xia still escaped, so I think ...... Following Little Brother Bai and Little Brother Tie, our chances of escape should be greater than that of Gongsun Xia back then!"
"Yes, I think so too!" Sun Hao nodded immediately.
Bai Yang glanced at Zheng Xiangtai, seeing that his lips trembled, but he couldn't pull down his old face and say anything in approval, so he didn't pay attention to him, but turned his face to look at Tie Niu and the Red Gate Master.
Tie Niu didn't need to speak, and the brothers naturally understood that they would definitely live and die together.
The Red Gate Lord smiled and said, "Baiyang, you don't have to worry too much about me, although my kung fu is much worse than you and Tie Niu, but the ability to escape is what I am best at! And I must remind you, don't take too much care of me, Hongxing and Lingling are still waiting outside, we can go out one by one! Because going out is equivalent to saving Hongxing and Lingling at the same time!"
Bai Yang didn't understand what the Red Gate Master meant, he and Tie Niu and Red Apricot Ding Lingling were lovers, but the Red Gate Master was Hong Xing's mother, and her love for Red Apricot was no less than that of Ding Lingling.
"That's right, Lao Bai! I think you have the greatest ability, and your light skills are not weaker than the Red Gate Master, as long as you ignore us, no matter how powerful the demons and monsters are, it is impossible to keep you! So, for the sake of Hongxing and Lingling, don't take too much care of me this time!" Tie Niu said.
How could Bai Yang ignore him and the Red Gate Master, seeing Sun Hao and the others looking at him with blank eyes, he was afraid that he would escape alone, so he smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Lao Hei?
Tie Niu smiled, then patted his chest, and said: "That's right, our brothers join forces, basically invincible in the world, no matter what kind of root monster he is, let's fuck it!"
"That's right!" Bai Yang smiled and turned to the Red Door Lord again, "Don't worry, Red Door Master, we will all go out!"
The Red Gate Lord knew his skills best, so he nodded, and his heart, which was originally slightly sad, instantly relaxed a lot.
