Watching everyone slide along the rope into the deep hole one by one, Lu Fan also put on gloves and buckled the rope, probed the hole slightly under his feet, and jumped down with both hands, the hole is not very steep, and the limbs need to use the surrounding soil wall to coordinate and exert force, so that the body can slide down slowly, because there is a searchlight above the head, so as not to hit things.

After about three minutes of sliding, Lu Fan fell on a stone staircase, slightly adjusted the direction of the searchlight, Lu Fan saw the surrounding environment clearly, and saw that there was a clearing where he landed, and the people who came down first gathered in front, and Lu Fan also walked over.

Walking forward, the floor is all flat bluestone steps, past the crowd in front of him, Lu Fan saw that at the real entrance to the tomb, there were four rusty bronze gates, and remarkably, in front of one of the doors, a hole was broken open enough for people to enter, Lu Fan approached the door, the rust came from the surface of the gate, it may be that the casting of this door was not made of pure copper, perhaps mixed with a little other metal, with the invasion of time, making these gates less indestructible than the original.

But even so, it is not easy to drill a big hole in the gate, "This must be the use of explosives." Wang Yuan checked the texture of the gate, looked at the big hole in front of him, and smacked his tongue.

"No way. Zuo Danyang shook his head, "This is the bottom, the terrain is closed, if you use a slightly larger explosives, it is easy to cause a collapse, if that group of people is not stupid, they will not use this kind of damage trick." ”

"And now?" Old Professor Fu looked at Zuo Danyang, Zuo Danyang's knowledge of the tomb was even greater than his own knowledge-focused archaeological team, the danger of this place was much greater than expected, not to mention the danger of the mechanism in the tomb and itself, even those tomb robbers who entered it first, they may have extremely lethal weapons in their hands.

Through the entrance of the cave, Zuo Danyang looked at the scene in the cave for a while, and finally replied: "Since those people have opened the door, let's go in here, one is that there are people in front of us to explore the way, we can avoid many dangers, and the other is that the passages in the tomb are intricate, if you enter through other doors, not only is it difficult to open the door, but one may accidentally collide with them, and then I am afraid it will be easy to find the firefight, causing casualties." "Although there is an armed team to protect them, the old and small members of the archaeological team, and no one else has guns in their hands, so if there is a conflict, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Seeing that Zuo Danyang was thoughtful, Old Professor Fu nodded and agreed with his idea, "Remember, when you get inside, you are not allowed to touch the things inside at will, and you don't leave the team, everything is subject to the arrangement, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Seeing Zuo Danyang enter the hole, Wang Yuan opened his throat and repeated it again.

Passing through the entrance of the cave, the layout inside is much different than expected, in front of it is a black passage, there is dark green and almost black moss under the feet and around, the air here is completely different from the outside, very turbid, there is an uncomfortable feeling in the inhalation pipe, Zuo Danyang pulled out a shovel and probed under his feet, while Wang Yuan held the weapon and slowly probed along the passage with him.

The people in the team lined up in a row of two people to take care of each other and walked forward, because the people behind could only rely on the searchlights to see the surrounding road conditions, and they were not very clear about the situation in front, so the group walked for about ten minutes, and suddenly, a choked voice sounded in the middle of the team, "Wait for me!"

The team suddenly stopped, Zuo Danyang and Wang Yuan ran back to the middle of the team, "What's going on?" They saw Hai Dachun holding a book in his hand, standing in place with a look of confusion.

"I, I just picked up the notes, but when I was about to go back, I found that there were two people in each column, I, I couldn't get in. Hai Dachun tried his best to control the expression on his face so as not to make people look frightened.

Hearing this, Zuo Danyang's face turned pale, and he turned his head to look at the entire ranks, "Which of you is alone, stand up." ”

For a long time, but no one answered, at this time Wang Yuan also realized that something was wrong, their group, a total of eighteen people, divided into nine columns, now he and Zuo Danyang and Hai Dachun are here, logically speaking, there should be one person in the team alone, but now when asked, no one answered.

A hint of coolness rushed up to the backbone from behind, Wang Yuan looked at the area around the passage, covered by darkness, and his heart jumped, "You guys, who feels someone leaving?" There was still no one in the team answering.

"Everybody together. Zuo Danyang was going to have a big inspection, and the people in the team suddenly gathered in the small passage, with Zuo Danyang as the center.

"Everybody counts. The passage was unusually dark and crowded, and he couldn't see everything, Zuo Danyang said, and he reported the number first, "One"

"II. "Three. "Four. "••••••" XVII. "Eighteen. ”

The number is not too much, no less, Zuo Danyang spoke again, "Have any of you found that there are people around you who have not reported the number?"

"Nope. ”

"No, there are eighteen of us, it's right to report eighteen. ”

Seeing this scene, Zuo Danyang called Hai Dachun beside him again, "Did anyone leave or stop suddenly just now?" ”

"No, we've always been two people around us, and it hasn't changed. Listening to the answers of the people in the team, Zuo Danyang's frowning brows became more and more twisted, and Hai Dachun's face on the side could no longer collapse, and his panicked expression covered his entire face.

"What's going on?" someone in the crowd asked solemnly, seeing their undesirable faces.

Zuo Danyang and Wang Yuan glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the team suddenly fell into a solemnity, and those who were a little thoughtful could think of something through the current scene, and for a while a kind of depression brewed in people's hearts.

"I counted a little bit just now, from the beginning to the end, from one to ten. Fu Qingye's little face was also pale, and there was a trance in his eyes, "Our team originally had nine pairs, but it seems that there is one more column." As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were panicked.

"Do you remember what I said before I came in? Feeling the fluctuation of people's hearts, Zuo Danyang suddenly laughed, breaking the dead silence around him, he glanced at everyone, and his face turned from initial solemnity to indifference.

"As I said, there is a force here that slowly erodes the human spirit, and now it seems that its effect has begun. Zuo Danyang's voice sounded very steady, without the slightest fluctuation, and everyone couldn't help but get a hint of imaginary security from his quiet performance, "Real illusions are often produced by subtle influences, and anything unreal you see in your eyes is the result of being influenced." ”

Seeing that everyone's faces were a little slack, Zuo Danyang took the opportunity to say, "Now we are still a team of two, holding hands with each other and not falling behind, if anything happens, shout as soon as possible." ”

The commotion in the team was suppressed for a short time, Zuo Danyang knew that this was only a temporary method, once people had cognition, they would not be easily erased, from the eyes of these companions who were pulling each other in front of them, it could be seen that there was an implicit vigilance, but Zuo Danyang didn't care, he wanted this kind of situation, and the inner vigilance would help them better avoid danger, as long as they went outside, this kind of defense would automatically disappear.

A team of people lined up again, walking forward in turn, from the perspective that everyone did not see, the indifference on Zuo Danyang's face was no longer goodbye, this time to visit the tomb, it was even more difficult than expected, all the internal and external troubles were concentrated together, the thing in the tomb was even more powerful than imagined, and as soon as he came in, even he was on the road.
