Volume 4 The Stormy Waves of the Ming Sea Chapter 362 The Center of the Great Tomb
Poplar didn't stay drowsy for long, he first felt a burst of coolness spread rapidly from his chest to his whole body, as if it had replenished his tired body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Then he heard Iron Bull seem to exclaim, and pressed his hand twice on his chest.
Poplar suddenly opened his eyes and saw Tie Niu looking at him with a frightened expression.
"What's wrong?" Poplar asked, struggling to sit up away from Iron Bull's body.
Seeing him open his eyes and speak, Tie Niu was obviously relieved, and hurriedly helped him to sit up, and said, "You just fell into a coma, and you can't hear me when I call you, but it frightens me!"
Poplar shook his head and asked him, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"It won't be long, ten minutes at most! It's weird, I just saw that your chest seems to be glowing, but through the wetsuit, I can't see it very clearly!"
Bai Yang immediately understood that the reason why he was able to wake up so quickly must be that the jade pendant hanging around his neck played a role.
It was really a magical treasure, not only allowing him to see certain signs of danger, but also helping him to defuse all kinds of witchcraft.
But now is not the time to tell Tie Niu about this, Poplar tried to feel it, but felt that his body was full of energy, and when he looked at his left hand, there was no blood oozing out of the bandage.
So Bai Yang Zhan smiled and said, "We have to hurry, don't forget that if you don't go out too late, Uncle Ding will blow up the tomb from outside!"
"But you've been unconscious just now, why don't you rest for a while before you go, anyway, I think it's still early!" Iron Bull said.
"It's still early, but it's impossible to predict what will happen next, and I'm almost fine now. Or you go first, I won't be pulled down by you. ”
When Tie Niu heard him say this, he had to carefully examine his face to make sure that his face was no longer as pale and blue as before, so he nodded and said, "Okay then! If you feel uncomfortable, you must say it!"
Poplar nodded, and Tie Niu turned around and continued to climb forward along the round hole.
The round hole was originally parallel, and the ground gradually sloped downward, and the further you climbed, the steeper the slope became.
The explosives bag that was originally placed in front of the Iron Bull also automatically slid forward under the push of the Iron Bull.
Bai Yang felt that something was wrong, and was about to ask Tie Niu to stop and discuss first, but he didn't want Tie Niu to suddenly exclaim: "Old Bai, be careful!"
At the same time as he exclaimed, Poplar saw that his body had slid forward.
Poplar hurriedly pounced forward to grab the iron bull's feet, but this pounce found that the slope in front had become nearly straight in vain.
Not only did he fail to catch the iron bull this time, but even the poplar himself fell rapidly.
Iron Bull's head and feet fell in front of him, and he suddenly felt that his body was open, and he had fallen out of the round hole, as if he had entered a wide space.
But this was only a momentary effort, and his body did not withstand the violent impact of falling to the ground, but continued to fall.
That is, in a blink of an eye, he saw a edge in front of him flash, his body moved much faster than his brain turned, and before his brain could figure out what he had just seen, he had already turned around in mid-air, and at the same time a pair of hands stretched forward, and grabbed the edge at once.
Hearing a "bang", his body hung down and slammed into the stone wall below.
He was just about to tell Poplar to be careful, when he felt a flash of figure, and Poplar also fell from him, and he also rolled over in the air and raised his hand, grabbing the edge next to him.
The two brothers were terrified, and they were secretly afraid in their hearts.
The Iron Bull climbed up first, and then picked up the Poplar.
Only then did the brothers take a closer look around them, and then they realized that they were already in a large space, and in the corner of the space, that is, the position where they were standing, there was a hole about two meters wide. The probe looked under the hollow, and with the brightness of the lamp above their heads, they couldn't see where the bottom of the hole was.
The two brothers felt secretly scared again, and they were secretly happy.
I'm glad they reacted quickly enough, otherwise they would have fallen at this moment, and even if they have great ability, I'm afraid they will be smashed into meatloaf-
No, this is at the bottom of the sea, could it be that there is a hole to get out of here?
Iron Bull immediately asked this question, Poplar actually had the same conjecture, but it was just a conjecture.
So Poplar shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's too deep down here, don't say we don't bring a rope, even if we bring a rope, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the bottom!"
"Then let's just jump off here and try it if we can't find another exit later!" said Iron Bull, showing a bit of excitement.
"Jump down from here, and if we get to the ground, we're going to be smashed into meatloaf!" replied Poplar.
"This is at the bottom of the sea, and even if this hole is not a way out, it should be seawater at the bottom, not the ground, right?" said Tie Niu.
"That's not necessarily!" Poplar shook his head, "Don't forget that the sea area where this tomb is located is not like the sea area in reality, so I don't think it's surprising that anything that violates common sense appears in this tomb!"
Tie Niu thought about it carefully, and could only say: "Although what you said is reasonable, I still think that if we can't find another passage, then the risk we take by jumping from here may not be greater than the risk of blowing up the tomb." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, and then exclaimed: "It's not good, the explosive bag has fallen just now!"
He knew that the void was unfathomable, but he still naturally looked at the hollow.
Bai Yang hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, and said: "If you lose the explosive bag, you will lose it, anyway, Uncle Ding will blow up the tomb from the outside when the time comes, I think it is safer for him to blow it up than for us to do it ourselves from the inside!"
Tie Niu knew that he was comforting himself, but he inevitably muttered to himself.
Poplar reached out and patted him on the shoulder, no longer talking nonsense to him, but turned his head back and looked at the large space in front of him.
This look couldn't help but surprise and delight, and said: "Old Hei, don't be discouraged, I think we have arrived at the core tomb!"
The reason why he was so sure was not only because the space in front of him was very large, but also because in the center of the space, a large wooden boat was suddenly parked.
The wooden ship is very old, just like the one in the core chamber of the submarine tomb that was discovered by the Hidden Dragon Salvage Ship earlier.
It's just that the wooden ship in front of you is taller and larger, at least more than four meters high and more than fifteen meters long.
In line with this, this core chamber is also much larger and taller than the core chamber of the previously discovered submarine tomb. It should be more than five meters high and no less than two hundred square meters in size.
"It's really time to get to the core burial chamber, I didn't expect us to come in so quickly this time!" Tie Niu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he also showed joy.
"It's not too fast, is it?" Poplar raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It's been more than three hours, but it's definitely faster than the last time, after all, we have a lot of experience this time!"
"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we chose the right passage! Lao Bai, if we don't take this fork in the road, but choose another fork in the road, what kind of strange things will we encounter? There are already three terrible mummies in this fork in the road, and we almost lost your life, how strange things can there be in that fork in the road?"
Iron Bull's two questions were just casual questions, and he didn't expect Poplar to answer them, after all, they were inconsequential things.
However, since he asked casually, Poplar also answered casually.
"I don't think we've chosen the right fork!" Poplar shook his head and said honestly, "This fork in the road we took may be closer, but it must be much more dangerous than the other fork!" These are the two of us, if someone else comes in, we will be killed by those three mummies 100%! Not to mention that you also said that even I almost lost my life!"
He was a little conceited when he said this, but Tie Niu nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "Yes, even the two of us were almost destroyed in the hands of those three mummies, and the others came in with death! ”
The two brothers gossiped as they approached the wooden boat, craned their necks and looked at it carefully.
Just like the wooden boat in the last submarine tomb, because of the age and the humid air in the tomb, the hull of the wooden ship is already covered with mold.
Naturally, there could be ropes hanging down on the wooden boat, but although the overall height of this wooden boat was more than four meters, the height of the deck was less than three meters, and with the ability of the two brothers, it was completely easy to climb up.
So Tie Niu couldn't help but ask Bai Yang: "Lao Bai, do you say that we should quickly find the passage first, or climb to the boat to have a look?"
"What do you say?" asked Poplar rhetorically.
"I think it's better to get on the wooden boat first! Anyway, it's still early, and we might be able to find a clue to the way out on the wooden boat!" Iron Bull said.
"Then let's get on the wooden boat and have a look!"
Poplar smiled, ran two steps towards the wooden boat, jumped forward, and grabbed the side of the wooden boat.
The Iron Bull followed up with two steps to grab the side of the ship, and climbed onto the deck with Poplar.
When I looked around, I found that the layout of the furnishings on this ship was very different from the wooden ship in the submarine tomb before.
