Chapter Ninety-Six: Trapped in the Yellow Dragon Cave by Mistake (2)

"Otherwise, let's go back and kill it, and I will take the lead and keep killing the Japanese people!" Shi Tianji patted his chest and said.

"Lao Shi, can you be quiet for a while!" Seeing that Luo Shiyin was contemplating and meditating, Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.

“……”

"Shhhh

Shi Tianji still wanted to speak, but when he saw Ye Ruliu signaling to him, he suddenly realized that his shouting was out of place, so he quickly shut up.

"General Li, what does this cave in front of you look like?" After pondering for a while, Luo Shiyin asked.

"It's a narrow hole, about two meters thick, and it can only allow one person to lower his head and squeeze through it sideways. After that, it is a cave of the same size as here. Li Ruzhu said.

"It seems that when it was shaking, the stone hanging from the upper end of the cave fell and buried the hole. With such a thick pile of stones, there is no time to dig it up. Xie Yuan analyzed.

Luo Shiyin's face turned pale, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Could it be that my famous Jinyi Guard Commander would be buried in this small cave?" ”

Shi Lang and the others looked at Luo Shiyin, but no one spoke. From the expression of the commanding officer's eyebrows, they already had a premonition: a life-and-death struggle is coming!

"Extinguish the torches and get ready for battle!" Sure enough, Luo Shiyin commanded in a deep and majestic voice.

Shi Tianji extinguished the torch that was about to burn out in his hand, held a double hammer, and prepared for battle. Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, and Li Ruzhu also showed their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy. Xie Yuan picked up a piece of stone from the ground that was close to his hand for self-defense.

Just when everyone was ready to respond to the enemy, there was no movement in the cave behind them, and the noisy footsteps seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the entire cave was silent.

Could it be that all the Japanese have withdrawn?

"Kill!" Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard a shout, and four or five samurai with swords rushed into the cave behind them at a rapid speed. They almost did the same thing, running into the hole and rolling on the spot, so as to avoid the blows of the weapons in the hands of Shi Tianji, Shi Lang and others. Then quickly stand up and swing your knife to fight back.

It seems that the Japanese people have just made a detailed analysis of the situation in the cave outside the cave, and although the cave where the two sides are fighting is wider than the cave behind, it is still crowded when many people are fighting inside. In such a space, it was obviously difficult to use the spears used by the Japanese cavalry. Therefore, the first batch of Wakoku people who broke in were all Wakoku samurai armed with katanas.

A scuffle unfolds in this dark cavern.

In the case of blurred vision, both sides mainly rely on the hearing of the ears to discern the direction of the enemy's attack.

Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, Shi Tianji, and Li Ruzhu formed a circle to avoid being attacked on their backs. Xie Yuan was surrounded in a circle of five people besieging the city.

In the gloomy cavern, swords collide and sparks flicker; The sound of killing erupted, and it shook the heart.

In the blink of an eye, several Japanese warriors who rushed into the cave had been slashed and killed. Immediately after that, there were more samurai from the Japanese kingdom rushing in.

The six members of the team worked hard to meet the battle.

I don't know how long the fierce battle passed, and the ground in the cave was already full of dead and wounded Japanese soldiers. Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang and others are also a little tired. But there was no way, although the team members also wanted to rush out along the way they came, but the continuous influx of enemy soldiers made it impossible for them to get close to the cave when they came. The first thing to deal with now is the vicious enemy soldiers in front of you.

Li Ruzhu waved the weapon in his hand, and his body was already splashed with the blood of the enemy soldiers. Li Ruzhu looked at the Japanese people who were constantly attacking in front of her, and thought of her father's tragic death at the hands of the Japanese people, and couldn't help but spit fire in her eyes. A Japanese warrior stabbed Li Ruzhu with a knife. Li Ruzhu bent down to avoid the opponent's blade, rushed forward with his body, and carried the Japanese people in front of him, then turned around and threw the opponent out stiffly.

only heard a "bang", and the Japanese soldiers who were thrown out by Li Ruzhu hit their heads on a raised boulder, and suddenly their brains burst out, and they saw that the king of Hades had gone.

The cobblestone that had been hit suddenly caved in, and then a "boom" sound came from under the rock beneath his feet.

"It's not good, it's going to collapse!" Xie Yuanran, who was standing in the middle, felt his body tremble violently, his feet were unstable, and his whole body shook violently.

With a loud roar, countless pieces of rubble fell from the top of the cave, and the entire cave shook violently.

The Japanese soldiers in the cave were so unsteady by the sudden tremor that they had to stop fighting and flee for their lives in horror towards the cave where they came.

Luo Shiyin and the others leaned against the cave wall, clinging to the protruding rock behind them, so as not to be knocked to the ground by the violent tremors.

Shi Lang grabbed the rock with one hand, and hugged Ye Ruliu's shoulder tightly with the other. Ye Ruliu grabbed the stone with one hand, and hugged Shi Lang's waist with the other. The two leaned on each other and survived the danger together.

"Boom-" With a roar from far and near, the tunnel collapsed first. Before they could escape from the hole, it is estimated that all the Japanese soldiers have been smashed underneath.

Listening to the howls of ghosts and wolves coming from the cave and the smashed Japanese soldiers, the members of the cave team couldn't help but feel frightened.

It seems that this time there is no way back!

"Boom—" With a loud bang, a huge rock fell from the top of the cave.

Everyone closed their eyes helplessly, waiting for the moment of death.

The boulder almost hit the ground with the toes of the team members, and smashed a huge hole in the ground. Boulders and gravel and earth and sand fell into the hole.

As the boulder fell into the hole, the roar stopped. There is no more rubble falling on it.

"My mother, I'm scared to death!" Shi Tianji opened his eyes and looked around.

Everyone straightened up and shook off the dust off their bodies with their hands.

Xie Yuan steadied his mind and looked down at the hole that was smashed under his feet. He found that there was a bottomless black hole underneath, and the roof of the cave, which had just been smashed through by the boulder, was obviously made of gray stone. Judging from the thickness of the roof and the materials used, it is very likely that there is a huge tomb underneath.

"My lord, it looks like we're saved!" Xie Yuan firmly believed in his judgment, and he said to Luo Shiyin with some excitement.

The five people of "......", including Luo Shiyin, all opened their eyes wide and looked at Xie Yuan expectantly.

"You see, the roof of the cave that was smashed through here was obviously built by hand. Judging from its thickness and materials, it should be in line with the architectural characteristics of the Junjong period of Joseon. If I'm not mistaken, this should be an ancient tomb down there, and a large one. Xie Yuan said.

"What about this thing...... What does it have to do with our escape? Shi Tianji was puzzled by what Xie Yuan said about the second monk.

"Everyone thinks that since it is an ancient tomb, then it has imports. As long as we enter the ancient tomb and patiently find the entrance to the tomb, there is hope of getting out. Xie Yuan talked eloquently.

"Xie Yuan's analysis makes sense, it seems that the cave when we came has been sealed. If you want to get out, there is only one way. Luo Shiyin looked down at the deep hole under his feet and said.

"Ouch, my mother, this is deep enough! I'll take a look. Shi Tianji leaned over and looked into the cave, "Hey, there's a hanging ladder here." Either I'll take the lead and be the first to go down. Shi Tianji glared into the cave and found that there was a hanging ladder at the entrance of the cave. Somewhat impatiently, he raised his feet and pedaled towards the hanging ladder.

"Lao Shi, wait a minute, be careful......" Xie Yuan saw Shi Tianji kicking towards the hanging ladder and hurriedly stopped it. But before he finished speaking, one of Shi Tianji's feet was already on the hanging ladder.

"Lao Shi, don't go down yet, be careful that there is a mechanism." Xie Yuan hurriedly stopped Shi Tianji.

"How can this be a mechanism?" Shi Tianji hurriedly raised his feet and left the hanging ladder.

"Lao Shi, you don't want to think about it, the tombs were all stolen and dug by others. Could it be that the designer and builder of this ancient tomb would have deliberately left you a hanging ladder waiting for you to enter? This is clearly a trap. Shi Lang said.

"Yes, yes, I didn't think of that." Shi Tianji had a look of sudden realization.

"Since we want to escape through the ancient tomb, we have to find a way to go down." Ye Ruliu said.

"Don't worry, everyone. All backwards. Lao Shi, borrow your mace and use it. Xie Yuan said.

Everyone stayed away from the hole.

Xie Yuan took an iron shovel handed over by Shi Tianji, bent down, and poked the hanging ladder with the head of the wedge, which was instantly broken from the very top.

There was a low sound in the cave, which was made by the hanging ladder falling to the bottom of the cave.

"Bang, clang." As the hanging ladder was poked off by Xie Yuan, on the rock above everyone's heads, two circular openings with a diameter of about two feet suddenly opened. Countless clouds of sand poured down from the two round holes, flowing down to the openings below.

"It seems like a trap. This deep hole is buried, how can we get into the tomb? Ye Ruliu asked puzzled.

"Don't worry, this sand and gravel may not be a bad thing for us, let's listen to Xie Yuan's command." Luo Shiyin seems to be confident.

"Yes, the commander is right. In a deep cave like this, there may be more than one around the tomb. It has passages inside that connect with the main tomb passage. Its effect is mainly used to deal with tomb robbers. As soon as the tomb robber ascends the ladder, the ladder will be broken immediately, and not only will the person fall to the bottom of the cave, but also the mechanism set up on the ladder will be immediately triggered. The sand and gravel that poured down were most likely to bury the tomb robbers, thus protecting the tomb. Xie Yuan continued to explain to everyone.

"But once the hole is buried, we won't be able to get in." Li Ruzhu asked.

"No, it won't. Didn't I say that there is a passage in this cave that connects to the main tomb, but this passage will not be located at the bottom of the cave, because this will cause the sand pouring down into the main tomb and destroy the structure of the main tomb. The passage must have been located in the upper part of the cave. As soon as the sand is injected close to the passage, we can use it to go down and enter the passage. This constant filling of sand and gravel is useful to us. Xie Yuan said to Li Ruzhu.

"Even if this passage is set up in the upper part, as long as the sand and stone are full of it, it will also flow into the main tomb." Li Ruzhu still has questions.

"This is a good solution, the passage is designed to be diagonally upward, and the entrance to the other end of the main tomb must be higher than the height of the two spills above our heads. In this way, the sand and gravel will not be able to enter the main tomb. After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked into the cave. He found that above the cave wall, there was indeed a passageway, and the passage was only a distance more than one person from the top of the cave under everyone's feet.

"Everyone be prepared, move fast for a while, and strive to enter the passage when the sand and gravel exceed the height of the passage entrance." Luo Shiyin ordered according to Xie Yuan's analysis.

"Okay, that's fine. Everyone jumped down and followed me into the passage quickly. The passage is just about two meters below, on the wall of the cave opposite the hanging ladder. After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he jumped into the cave first.

Everyone jumped one after another on the sand that had just been filled in the cave.

Sure enough, on the wall of the cave about two meters away from the entrance of the cave, there was an oval-shaped side hole, and everyone gently stepped on the sand that had spread up close to the bottom of the side hole, and followed Xie Yuan into the side hole in turn.

The height of the side hole is about a little more than a meter, and everyone can barely bow forward.

Just as Xie Yuan judged, the trend in the side cave was inclined upward.

Stepping on the dusty stone steps under their feet, Luo Shiyin and the others walked up for about a quarter of an hour to reach the highest end of the side cave. Continuing on, the entire side hole suddenly turned downward. In front of you is a stone staircase that slopes downward. In the same way, everyone bowed down and continued to walk inside.
