Chapter 52: Escape
The water level is getting higher and higher, and the entire burial chamber has become a vast ocean, and most of the corpse monsters in the lower layer have been swept away by the water.
From time to time, stones fell from the top of the tomb, and it was about to collapse.
With a wave of the spear in his hand, Lao Hu swept several corpse monsters into the water, freed up a space, and felt out the pubic claws from the bag behind his back. Swept a few circles on the top of his head, like a sheep, and lassoed a snake bone that was closer to everyone.
This pubic claw has an iron hook in front of it, and when it hooks something, it can't be let go easily, and it is very reliable. Seeing that the water had reached the top of the sarcophagus, several people had no place to stand.
Lao Hu shouted to the three of them: "Grab the iron rope and climb on the snake corpse to hide first." ”
When the big golden tooth heard that he was going to get on the corpse, he was a little stunned, and said: "Master Hu, this thing is a dragon, you can't ride it casually." ”
When the fat man heard this, he became angry and shouted: "Then leave Jin Ye here for our palace, and Lao Hu, you go first." ”
Lao Hu didn't give much, plunged into the water, and climbed up the body of the giant snake with a rope. It was Lin Tang who came down, and he also went up like Lao Hu.
Seeing that the water had reached the heels of the fat man and the big gold tooth, many corpse monsters that had not been swept away swam towards the two of them.
The fat man flicked the shield in his hand and smashed several corpse monsters that were hugging his calves, only to feel a sharp pain, and one of the corpse monsters had torn off a piece of flesh from the fat man's calf.
Seeing that there were more and more corpse monsters gathered, the fat man didn't have time to ask for the opinion of the big gold tooth, so he picked up the big gold tooth with one hand like a chicken, threw it into the water, and then he also plunged into the water with a dragon dragon.
The big gold tooth didn't understand the nature of water, so he could only toss around vigorously, choked on his saliva, and begged for help: "Fat man save me." ”
The fat man was like a fat fish in the water, twisting and twisting, unusually dexterous, and grabbed the big gold tooth.
At this time, the big gold tooth was already choking and couldn't open his eyes, thinking that the corpse monster had caught him, so he grabbed the fat man and slapped it hard.
The fat man said angrily: "Big Golden Tooth, if you are not honest, I will throw you down to feed the corpse monster." Grab your fat man's belt. ”
When the big gold tooth opened his eyes, he saw that it was a fat man, and he was busy holding on to it, saying that he would not let go of anything.
Lin Tang and Lao Hu saw that the fat man and the big gold tooth both grabbed the iron rope, and hurriedly pulled the two of them onto the snake corpse.
As soon as he got on the corpse of the giant snake, the fat man was exhausted and threw himself headlong on it. The serpent had been eaten with little flesh, and was basically a skeleton, just enough to lose weight enough to float above the water.
As soon as the front foot of the big gold tooth was on the snake bone, the entire high platform began to collapse, and with the collapse of the high platform, the water in the tomb began to sink.
The area of the collapsed forehead is getting bigger and bigger, and even the huge snake bones are not spared, and they are uprooted in the turbulent water, and everyone who is shocked stumbles.
Lin Tang was almost shaken into the water, but fortunately, the old Hu on the side was quick and pulled him back. Lao Hu shouted: "Everyone hold on to the iron cable." ”
Everyone rode the huge snake bone in the rapid water, and several times the snake corpse violently hit the stone wall, almost knocking everyone down.
This snake only has a bare spine, and it is difficult for everyone to hide, Lin Tang shouted when he saw this: "Let's go into the skull of the giant snake, it is safer there." ”
As he spoke, Lao Hu had already hooked his probe claw to the skull of the giant snake, and everyone lined up in a straight line and rushed in.
The serpent's skull was the size of a hut, and although it was smelly, it was much better than being out there and being eaten into a skeleton at any time.
Everyone huddled in a small space for several minutes, and with the foul smell of the skull, the big gold tooth had already vomited all the bile.
Lin Tang had already avoided it carefully, but the space was really narrow, and there were still some splashes on him, and Lin Tang couldn't help it for a while, only to feel that his stomach was turning over and over, and he vomited it out.
After a while, the snake corpse seemed to begin to sink, and the entire skull was filled with water, so everyone had to hold their breath and dive into the water.
It's not a way to soak in the water like this, not to mention that this big gold tooth must be the first to be suffocated.
He pointed to the outside, motioned for everyone to go out, and swam out with the big gold tooth.
Lin Tang and the fat man also followed.
Everyone came out of the skull only to find that they were in a deep pool, and everyone could only desperately swim upstream.
Lin Tang felt that he was almost at the limit, there was no trace of air in his chest, as if it was crushing a boulder weighing a thousand catties, and it could really be crushed at any time. However, out of the desire to survive, I still instinctively dived up.
Finally, a breath of fresh air poured into his mouth and nose, and Lin Tang struggled with his last strength and climbed onto the shore.
At this time, Lao Hu, the fat man and the big gold tooth also crawled out of the water.
Lao Hu gasped and wiped a handful of nosebleeds that flowed out because he was diving too fast, and struggled to crawl next to the big gold tooth and squeezed the big gold tooth's belly.
With Lao Hu's regular squeezing, the big gold tooth spit out a basin of water, and then opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the top suspiciously, and said: "Master Hu, look at the stars on it, isn't it, it's not my hallucination, how do I feel that I have come out." ”
Lao Hu Kai was thinking about the big gold tooth, and he didn't pay attention to the situation, at this time, he turned on the flashlight and looked around, several people were next to a big lake, surrounded by trees, and said excitedly: "It's really out." ”
It is estimated that the lake is connected to the underground water veins, and everyone was brought back to the surface along with the underground water veins.
Lin Tang couldn't believe his eyes, and shouted, "I actually came out by mistake." ”
The big golden tooth also said happily: "I think that a few auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and sure enough." ”
The four of them rested on the spot for the night, and the next day they descended the mountain and came to the village at the bottom of the mountain. The four of them were ragged and smelly, and they were almost beaten out of the village as savages.
In the end, it was the big gold tooth who brought some money and goods with him, so he changed into some clean clothes and food at the villager's place.
Because the fat man was in such a bad state that he couldn't catch up, everyone had to rest in the village for a few days.
It just so happened that there was a big news in Cui Village in the past few days, and the big lake next to the village suddenly dried up, and the bare lake bed was full of corpses, human figurines, and a monster skeleton that looked like a dragon and a snake.
The villagers felt that this was the god of the lake, and they hurriedly invited a bunch of monks and Taoists to do things and pray for blessings and disasters.
At this time, it immediately alarmed the domestic archaeological community, and experts from all over the country immediately came to investigate, and the original remote small village immediately became lively.
The fat man is a person who can't be idle, and just a little bit wants to join in the fun, inquire about some news, and maybe take advantage of the chaos to get something.
This idea is a bit dangerous, and Lao Hu hurriedly stopped: "Don't mess around, fat man, how many pairs of eyes are staring, if this is discovered, let's prepare to eat in prison for the rest of our lives." ”
It's been almost a week, and the fat man is almost better, Lin Tang and Lao Hu and the big golden tooth are ready to put the matter of returning to Beijing on the agenda.
Just as the three of them were discussing, the fat man suddenly rushed in and told everyone that because of this sensation, it actually attracted a lot of tourists who came to explore here, but this place has been controlled, and the tourists can only return in disappointment.
The fat man was quite good at talking, and he got acquainted with a group of tourists from Beijing, and the other party actually agreed to take them back to Beijing with a group of four.
Of course, this is good news, just enough to be able to go home all the way home without having to ride in that kind of green car.
The fat man said: "I heard that there is a good stone pot fish in the town near here, why don't we go to the tooth festival today." ”
Everyone thought about it, not to mention being fat, even Lao Hu and Lin Tang felt that their mouths were about to fade out of their mouths in the past few days, and they hadn't tasted meat for a long time.
Hit it off, and everyone rode to the town to make a tooth sacrifice.
When he returned to the village in the middle of the night, Lin Tang suddenly heard the sound of people at the entrance of the village, as if there was a sound of rushing and killing on the battlefield, so he asked: "Brother Hu, did I drink too much, why do I think there is a war in front of me." ”
Unexpectedly, not only Lin Tang, but everyone heard it.
The big golden tooth pulled everyone to leave, and said, "Don't look at indecent things, it's better not to look at this strange thing." ”
However, the other three felt that this matter must be related to the strange things that several people encountered in the tomb, and they were curious and had to go to see it.
The crowd searched for the sound, until they found the camp of the investigators who had come here, and the sound disappeared.
It wasn't too late, but the camp was deadly silent.
The fat man was puzzled: "It's strange, there are still people guarding here during the day, and no one is allowed to enter, where has this person gone." ”
"Let's go, it's weird." The big gold tooth has already begun to beat the drum in his heart.
Lin Tang suddenly heard the voice just now, as if there were thousands of troops rushing towards this camp.
Lin Tang exclaimed: "Hide first." ”
The four of them hid in a tent, and soon the outside of the tent appeared as if out of thin air, crowded with 'people', and began to light a fire to cook and set up camp.
Lin Tang couldn't help but be curious, and opened a small corner of the tent to check, only to see that those outside were not people, but the figurines they saw in the tomb, and they all came to life at this time.
If it weren't for the horror of this face, it would really be like a living person.
The big gold teeth have all become chaff, and he reads: "At this time, the Yin soldiers are crossing, Amitabha, Amitabha." ”
Everyone's nerves were highly tense, but this Yin soldier didn't seem to have any intention of entering the tent, so that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After a night like this, Lin Tang fell asleep unconsciously, and was suddenly awakened by a cry for help, and the four of them seemed to hear this cry for help.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Lao Hu said: "This voice is coming from outside the tent, go and take a look." “
When the four of them rushed out, the Yin soldiers happened to leave, and at the end of the line was the prisoner cart escorting the prisoners, and the cry for help came from the prisoners' mouths.
Although the prisoners were ragged and tortured in no human form, it was not difficult to tell from the work cards on their chests that they were the staff members who had come here to investigate.
When Lin Tang and the three of them caught up, the prisoner car also disappeared from their field of vision.
The fat man said, "Do you think this sound is similar to the voice in the sarcophagus?" ”
In fact, the fat man didn't say that Lin Tang also found out, this was the cry for help from the sarcophagus.
Before they could find out, the four of them slipped out of the camp. Because this matter was still too weird, the four of them didn't discuss it again, not even the fat man and the big gold tooth.
The fat man and the group of travelers agreed to leave at noon, and the four of them returned to Beijing with their partner.
The man in his thirties in the group of travelers was very talkative, and said in the car: "I heard that the people in Camp No. 1 disappeared en masse last night, and they haven't been found yet. ”
A little girl next to her said disdainfully: "This must be to drive us away, made up, how is this possible." ”
Lin Tang and his entourage did not participate in the discussion of this topic, and rushed back to Beijing all the way.
