Ding Lingling and the others watched as a strong light gushed out from the bottom of the water, and the strong light illuminated two figures, which were clearly the iron bull and the poplar that were swept away by the whirlpool.

"Topol!"

"Iron Bull!"

Ding Lingling and Hong Xing shouted in unison, even though it was at this emergency moment, the two girls couldn't help crying with joy.

"This place is about to collapse, let's swim to the exit first to have a look! Senior Brother Chen, you take this bead for lighting, Lao Hei, you come with me and the soldiers!"

Bai Yang couldn't help but say a loud command, and easily stuffed the bright and dazzling pearl in his hand into Chen Xiaopang's hand.

Tie Niu acted immediately, stretched out one hand and grabbed one of Ma Bingxiao's arms, and with the other hand, tucked the short horn into the waistband of his trousers, and then swam out with a wave of his arm.

Poplar was still holding his black sword in one hand, but perhaps it was the golden python gall that worked, and he and Iron Bull not only felt energetic, but also far more agile in the water than before.

So the two of them grabbed Ma Bingxiao one left and one right, smashed a large splash with four feet, and actually took Ma Bingxiao and rushed to the front of Hongxing and Ding Lingling at once.

The others hurried to follow the three of them.

With that pearl illuminated, it was easy for them to find the cave where they came in.

It's just that when I entered, the cave was completely flooded, but now the water level has receded, and the top of the cave has been slightly exposed.

Poplar Tie Niu took Ma Bingxiao to swim in first, and swam all the way to the top.

Poplar dived down first, found the exit that was not too narrow, and then resurfaced, Tie Niu alone led Ma Bingxiao to dive in first, and Poplar waited for everyone else to dive down, and he followed last.

Soon, several people successively drilled into the last bend of the passage and emerged from the water.

Fortunately, the upper passage did not collapse completely, and because the water level receded, after passing through the two steep passages, there was no more water in the remaining passages.

The feeling of shaking the sky and the earth is slowly disappearing, and I wonder if the space below has been completely buried.

But there was a passage in front of me that collapsed, and several people still couldn't get out.

Tie Niu suddenly had a whimsical idea and said, "Old Bai, isn't the light of this pearl able to hold up the yellow sand? Let's try to see if we can use it to open the passage?"

Poplar said with a wry smile: "It's not just the role of this pearl, I estimate that the circle of keels may have a greater effect! Otherwise, you wouldn't have just pulled a dragon horn down, and the entire hole would have collapsed! Besides, this pearl is also much dimmer than before, I'm afraid that after leaving this cave, this pearl will be almost like an ordinary orb!"

The conversation between the two of them was inexplicable to others.

Ding Lingling first asked: "What are you talking about? This pearl is so bright, it's like a big light bulb, I already feel incredible, but you mean, this pearl was even brighter before?"

Poplar nodded, and recounted what had happened to them.

Naturally, he skipped the matter of him sharing the golden python gall with the iron bull, and only said that the golden python was slaughtered by him and the iron bull together.

When he finished speaking, he only stunned the few people.

Chen Xiaopang couldn't get out of his anger, but he forced himself to calm down and said: "That root...... Where's the dragon horns, show them to me!"

Iron Bull immediately handed over the horn he was carrying.

The length of the horn was one foot two or three, but it was as heavy as a short iron rod.

Its surface is round and smooth, at least in Chen Xiaopang's opinion, it is different from the horns of any animal.

"This is really you...... Pulled off a skull?" asked Chen Xiaopang for a long time.

"Yes, I didn't mean to, I just pulled it lightly, and who knew that it was pulled off!" Tie Niu said, looking at Chen Xiaopang apologetically.

He knows very well how obsessed Chen Xiaopang is with archaeology, and the "crystal palace" and "keel" below, once excavated, can be said to be a milestone event in the history of archaeology.

But now, because he pulled off the "dragon horn", the "crystal palace" and the "dragon bone" were all buried, which is only an immeasurable loss for the archaeological community.

So he waited for Chen Xiaopang's reproach, and even felt that Chen Xiaopang would definitely hate him to death.

But he didn't expect Chen Xiaopang to just sigh softly and said, "You can't be blamed for this......! It's a very strange thing, it can't be easily revealed, even if this place doesn't collapse today, when another organization comes in in the future, it will also self-destruct! You can bring out a dragon horn and this very magical bead, it is already very rare!"

"Really, Senior Brother Chen, do you really think so?" Tie Niu was overjoyed.

Chen Xiaopang nodded and smiled at him.

Tie Niu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm afraid that you will complain about me after I come out, and I have been regretting that I shouldn't have pulled that dragon horn!"

"Even if you don't pull it, there will definitely be other accidents!" Ding Lingling followed, "Senior Brother Chen is right, we have encountered this situation before, and there are some ...... Once something that shouldn't be in the world is discovered, no matter how careful the discoverer is, he can't take it out of the tomb. In the end, either the tomb collapses, or something suddenly shatters, and the discoverer can escape with his life, which is already very remarkable!"

Her words immediately made Bai Yang understand that she and Chen Xiaopang must have also discovered something "magical".

But before Bai Yang could ask, Chen Xiaopang preemptively changed the topic and said, "Don't call me Senior Brother Chen, okay?" Especially Lingling, you make my teeth sore!"

"Everyone calls you that, if I call you Chen Xiaopang, I'm afraid you will be unhappy!" Ding Lingling smiled playfully.

"It's all called Chen Xiaopang, it's better than calling Senior Brother it!Tie Niu, or you call it first!" Chen Xiaopang said, turning his face to look at Tie Niu.

"Okay, I'll call you little fat brother in the future!" Tie Niu readily agreed.

"That's right, call me chubby brother in the future!"

Bai Yang didn't expect Chen Xiaopang to have such a funny and happy side, and immediately shouted: "Little fat brother!"

Fortunately, this time Chen Xiaopang did not show indifference again, but smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Bai Yang's shoulder.

Poplar immediately understood that he was making a conciliatory move, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

In the following time, several people could only sit in the passage, except for the Poplar Iron Bull who did not feel the slightest hunger because he had eaten a golden python gall, everyone else was already hungry.

Ding Lingling found a few steamed buns in her backpack. Because it was wrapped in oiled paper very tightly, several steamed buns were not soaked in water.

Ding Lingling broke it open, gave it to a few people to eat, and then leaned against the cave wall and closed their eyes to rest.

Poplar Iron Bull is not as tired as others, but for fear of affecting the rest of others, he can only keep his eyes closed and quiet.

Before they knew it, the two of them also slept for a while, and it wasn't until the noise above their heads that several people woke up.

When he raised his face to look, sure enough, it was Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian's brothers who led people to dig up the passage and rescue them.

In fact, the shaking and collapse in the large space below did not affect the urban area of Dunhuang.

But Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian brothers knew that today was the day when Poplar and they went to visit the tomb, and the two old inverted fighters couldn't help but feel itchy in their hearts and couldn't be at peace.

What's more, Ma Bingxiao also came, this was Ma Bingxiao's first time going to the tomb, Ma Daocheng barely endured until the evening, and finally asked Ma Daoxian to come to the crescent spring to have a look.

As a result, Ma Daoxian suddenly found that the northwest corner of the Crescent Spring Scenic Area had collapsed, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly investigated the vicinity carefully and determined that this was the entrance to the tomb, but the passage at the entrance collapsed.

Ma Daoxian hurriedly went back to talk to Ma Daocheng, Ma Daocheng was also frightened, and immediately organized people to rush to the Crescent Spring, and spent more than two hours digging the collapsed passage and rescuing Baiyang and others.

Chen Xiaopang didn't want people to spread rumors in private, so he wrapped the shining pearl in clothes first, and then put it in a backpack and brought it out.

When a rescuer asked, he only said that the whole area had collapsed and nothing could be brought out.

After waiting for the rescuers to leave one after another, Ma Bingxiao also followed back to Dunhuang City, and there were only a few members of the tomb search team left in the house.

As a result, as Poplar had speculated before, the light of the pearl had become dim and dark, just like a superb night pearl.

Fortunately, the "dragon horn" has not changed much, and in Ding Lingling's words, the future research on this "dragon horn" has been a major event in the archaeological and paleontological circles.

The next day, he called Ding Sicheng to report, and Ding Sicheng gave instructions to ask them to protect these two rare treasures and return to Xi'an, and there must be no mistakes on the way.

The matter of "Dragon Horn" and Mingzhu was originally only known to the six people who went to the tomb, and Chen Xiaopang and Ding Lingling repeatedly explained that Ma Bingxiao must not tell anyone about this matter.

Even if Ma Bingxiao's mouth was not tight enough and he went back to tell his father and uncle about it, it would be impossible for Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian to spread the news so quickly.

So a group of five people rushed back to Xi'an by train safely and smoothly, and Ding Sicheng personally drove the car to pick it up, and went directly to the Shaanxi Museum with the two treasures.

That night, Ding Sicheng specially chartered a banquet in a big hotel to celebrate the achievements of Baiyang and others, in his words, with the two treasures brought back by Baiyang and others, it has exceeded the overall value of many tombs.

After Bai Yang and the others rested for a few days, Ding Sicheng reconvened their group and told them that the two patriotic overseas Chinese, Chu Changjiang and Chu Changhe, asked to go to the Taklamakan Desert to find the Black Desert. And this time, all the expenses and equipment, they have already prepared, just waiting for the grave search team to join in.

If you want to find the Black Desert, you have to go to Dunhuang again to visit Ma Daocheng and Ma Daoxian, hoping to get some specific clues about the Black Desert and the Celestial Elephant Kingdom from their mouths.

Bai Yang and the others naturally obeyed the arrangement, and a group of five people straightened their bags and got on the train again to rush to Dunhuang.
