Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 041 Killing Passage

Tie Niu looked at the pit under the green brick, and couldn't help but say, "My good man, this is full of spikes, if I stand here and press the green brick, I will fall down and die......!" With so many twists and turns, how could Hongxing find this passage in such a short time and enter other burial chambers?"

Poplar couldn't answer him, but said, "I don't know what will be in this passage yet, be careful!"

Tie Niu nodded, and was about to walk inside, but Poplar grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, we have to put on our backpacks and find another weapon for you to hold!"

Tie Niu didn't say a word, he walked directly to the other side of the sarcophagus and picked up Poplar's backpack, picked up a steel whip from the ground, waved it twice in his hand heavily, and said with a smile: "I will also be an ancient general!"

Poplar gave him a thumbs up cooperatively, thinking that he still had to save as much light as possible, so he blew out three of the four candles in the four corners of the sarcophagus, leaving only one illuminated, and then still stopped the iron bull and did not let him go ahead.

"You're too reckless, I'm more careful than you, so I'll go ahead!" said Poplar.

Tie Niu sighed and said, "I know you're afraid that I'll have an accident, but if you always protect me like this, I'm about to become your little brother!"

"You were originally my little brother!" Poplar smiled.

"Don't forget that I'm a few months older than you!" said Iron Bull.

"But you're a Madahar, and you can't admit it!" said Poplar.

Iron Bull was inarguable, so he had to honestly give up his seat and let Poplar walk ahead.

The passage was so narrow that you could only walk one after the other. There is an upward slope underfoot, and the slope is very steep, and if you are not careful, you will slide down.

As soon as I climbed a few meters away, I heard the sound of "whoosh", and when I looked back, the open door had closed automatically.

Fortunately, there was no accident after that, and the two of them traveled safely for about twenty meters, and a strange space suddenly appeared in front of them.

The space is only about ten square meters, and the four sides are made of green bricks in the shape of a cylinder.

But on the cylindrical walls, there are so many openings that each door is wide enough for one person to enter.

Poplar counted them, and with the doorway they had just walked into, there were exactly eight doorways.

"With so many doorways, is it a dead end if you make a mistake?" Tie Niu asked.

"Then you need to say!" replied Poplar.

"So what are we going to do?" Iron Bull asked again.

Poplar thought about it and couldn't think of an idea, after all, he didn't have much experience in the inverted bucket industry.

Tie Niu suddenly had a whim, and said, "Didn't you say that the immortal tomb must have light and water, and it must be ventilated?

"How can there be any light for you, don't forget that it's night!" Poplar glanced at him.

Tie Niu patted his head and said with a smile: "I really forgot about this, I haven't felt very sleepy until now!"

"My nerves have always been tight, how can I still feel sleepy!" said Poplar, his heart suddenly moving, "It's unlikely that you can see light even during the day, but there may be another way!"

"What's the solution?" Iron Bull asked immediately.

Poplar smiled, motioned for him to unload his backpack, took a candle from it and lit it, skimmed the passage they had just entered, and approached the other seven doorways one by one.

The candlelight in the first two doorways was not crooked, but when it approached the third doorway, the candlelight jumped and seemed to be slightly tilted outward.

"There's wind in here, isn't this doorway right?"

Still unsure, Poplar leaned the candle towards the fourth doorway.

Unexpectedly, the candle was tilted and almost blown out.

Poplar peeked in, naturally he couldn't see any light, but he could clearly feel a trace of cold wind blowing on his face.

"It's quite windy in this doorway, why is this happening?" Iron Bull asked.

Poplar shook his head, and approached the fifth, sixth, and seventh doorways with a candle.

After trying seven doorways, it was found that the sixth doorway also had a very slight wind blowing the candle flame.

"How come there are three doorways where the wind is?, and which door should we go through?" Iron Bull asked.

Poplar pointed to the fourth doorway and said, "I guess this doorway leads directly to the tomb with bone-eating fireflies below, because that tomb has a hole in the ground that leads directly to the outside, so the wind will be stronger!" But there must be a very powerful mechanism in this doorway, otherwise the tomb robbers don't have to go through the tomb with red-haired zombies, and they will walk here directly along this passage!"

Tie Niu nodded again and again, and said, "Then there are only the third and sixth doorways left! Shall we go separately or together? If I want to say it, we will go together, we will live together, we will die together, but we will be happy!"

"But what about Hongxing?" Baiyang immediately asked, "Maybe Hongxing is expecting us to save her now, if we all die, who will save Hongxing?"

Tie Niu frowned suddenly, thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Okay, then let's go separately! If one of them can survive, remember that if you have a son in the future, the first one will have the surname of the other!"

"You're thinking far away!" Poplar smiled dumbly and reached out to the third doorway, "You go through this door!"

He had a gut feeling that the doorway should be safe.

Of course, this intuition can't be said to be 100% accurate, otherwise there would be no need for him to part ways with Tie Niu.

How could Tie Niu know that Poplar had left the intuitive and safe passage to himself, so he nodded immediately, and was about to step into the passage, when Poplar shoved the flashlight into his hand again.

"You gave me the flashlight, what do you do yourself?" Iron Bull asked.

"I use candles! I'm more cautious than you are, and I've got a lighter on me!" replied Poplar.

"I also have a lighter in my pocket, so you might as well keep the flashlight for yourself!" said Iron Bull, shoving the flashlight back into Poplar's hand.

Bai Yang glared at him and said, "If you take it, you can take it, how can there be so much nonsense!"

As he spoke, he shoved the flashlight into Iron Bull's hand, and then pushed Iron Bull into the third doorway that he intuitively safed.

Tie Niu had no choice but to say "be careful", so he held a steel whip in one hand, a flashlight in the other, and a poplar's backpack on his back, and cautiously walked into the doorway.

Poplar took a breath and walked into the sixth doorway with a candle in hand.

It was still a very steep uphill road under his feet, which was already very difficult to walk, and he was afraid that the candle would go out, and at the same time, he was afraid of touching the mechanism, so Poplar walked very slowly.

I walked about twelve or thirteen meters in fear, but fortunately nothing happened.

As soon as Poplar breathed a sigh of relief, he felt as if there was a small turn, and the road ahead was suddenly much smoother.

Poplar quickened his pace. For fear that the candle would be blown out by the oncoming wind, he could only hold the candle forward with one hand.

I didn't want to walk about ten meters again, and I heard a "squeak" sound in my ears, and at first he didn't know what it was, but he felt that something bad was about to happen.

So he didn't bother to study what the sound was, he just quickened his pace and moved forward.

After walking five or six meters further, Poplar suddenly realized that the passage was getting narrower and narrower, and his two bare arms began to rub against the walls on both sides as he walked.

Poplar's heart suddenly crossed the many mechanisms that his grandfather had talked about, and one of them was able to squeeze people into meatloaf alive.

Poplar panicked, didn't care whether the candle was extinguished or not, and immediately spread his steps and ran forward.

After running a few steps, sure enough, the candle went out, and Poplar could only continue to run forward in the dark.

But he only ran three or five meters away, and the walls on both sides squeezed up, and Poplar could no longer rush forward, so he could only continue to run half-sideways.

It was pitch black ahead, and I didn't know how far it was.

Bai Yang was feeling that this time he must be dead, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of him, and the voice of Tie Niu shouted in front of him: "Old Bai!

Bai Yang saw that the light was still at least ten meters away, and at the speed at which the wall was closed, he couldn't run over anyway, so he had to squeeze forward sideways, while shouting: "Old Hei, I'm here, this wall is about to close, if I can't get out, remember that your first son must be surnamed Bai!"

Tie Niu's "ah", followed by the light Dasheng, Tie Niu took a flashlight and shone it into the passage, and then squeezed into the passage, shouting: "Lao Bai, hurry up and run!"

"You don't have to squeeze in, your body is fatter than me, and you will definitely die in front of me!"

Poplar shouted in his mouth, but he didn't dare to pause at all.

At this time, it was a little difficult for him to even stride sideways.

But strangely, the speed at which the wall closed seemed to slow down, and the Iron Bull was still shouting in front of him: "Hurry up, because I am fat, I can help you withstand it!"

Poplar had no time to say more, so he could only squeeze forward with all his might.

I felt that my buttocks and back were rubbed hotly and painfully, especially when the coat on his upper body was thrown into the gap with the bone-eroding fireflies, and there was only a thin sleeveless shirt left on his upper body, and at this moment the sleeveless shirt and the skin seemed to be scratched.

But Poplar couldn't care about the pain, and squeezed forward for more than half a minute, and finally squeezed horizontally in front of the iron bull.

I saw that Tie Niu's face was flushed, and he was leaning his back against the right wall, but he was pressing his two elbows against the left wall.

Of course, with his flesh and blood, it was impossible to resist the closure of the two walls, but he pressed the hard steel whip diagonally against the corners of the walls on both sides.

"It's alright, get out of here!"

Poplar screamed and slammed into the Iron Bull, and the two of them staggered a few steps sideways before finally falling out of the passage.

Looking at the steel whip again, it had been squeezed and slightly bent, and only to hear a "snap", the steel whip slipped out and went straight between the two walls that were still squeezing in the middle.

Tie Niu stretched out his hand and picked up the steel whip, and when he looked back, he saw Poplar sitting on the ground panting, and his face was even more pale as paper.

Tie Niu knew that Bai Yang was frightened this time, so he sat down beside him, put his arm around his shoulder, and comforted him: "It's okay Lao Bai, we are both still alive!"

Poplar nodded, trying to barely smile, but couldn't.

A feeling of escaping death made him suddenly feel the preciousness of life.
