For these students, no matter how unacceptable the tragedy of the night, the most important thing to do during the day is to dig graves – oh, archaeology.

"Will the spiritual behavior of the aborigines within the scope of the trial also be affected?" Qiu Xuan squatted to the side with a shovel, watching a group of students who had been crying and lamenting their death for a few hours now gathered in front of the hole that was blown out yesterday with great interest.

"More or less, who knows?" Because in front of the crowd, Shen Jingxue still had to maintain the burden of her immortal wind bones, and at this time she did not squat on the mud ground but stood still in a posture with her hands behind her back, and her voice floated down from the top of Qiu Xuan's head. "After all, there are so many evil things in the proving grounds."

Qiu Xuan's face was expressionless: "Oh, you don't know. ”

Shen Jingxue: "...... I don't understand what you're saying. ”

It seems that because of the praise and praise of the students gathered around, the executioner who stayed on the first day and blew up the hole completely on his own wild road began to float a little. Several people laid down the probe rod, and after determining the approximate depth, it was decided to continue with the second blasting.

"Be careful yourself."

Chen Ming was worried about admonishment, and the executioner waved his hand very confidently and fixed a few eyes under the flat hole on the side.

Yesterday, Qiu Xuan's bad premonition started here.

She crouched on the dirt not far away, wrinkling her eyebrows as she looked at the executioner and began to wind the line. Shen Jingxue snorted above her head, and seemed to mumble in a low voice, "The fierce land of dragon blood dares to go down to the cave like this, these people are really bold." ”

Ye Qing glanced at him, "Didn't you let them fight the thief cave on the first day?" ”

Shen Jingxue: "I'll just say it casually, who would have thought that they would be serious." ”

Ye Qing looked at Shen Jingxue's expression at the moment, as if he was looking at the stick that muddied the waters in the team.

It was accompanied by another familiar tremor, but this time it seemed to be farther from the surface, for the tremors were felt much less under the feet than they had been on the first day. As the unpleasant and harmful gases slowly dissipated, Lu Sheng brushed the soil at the top of the probe rod and said happily, "It's done, dig to the rammed earth layer!" "Everything looks looking good.

Qiu Xuan originally thought that her foreboding was due to the possibility of a large-scale soil collapse or digging something that should not be touched in the future, but now it seems that it is something else.

The executioners stood with the students, waiting for the harmful gases to disperse, Chen Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Sheng, and asked, "Does anyone want to be the first to go down to explore the way?" ”

A boy with an iron head raised his hand with a brush.

"Good!" Ji An took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the executioners who didn't want to be the first to go down also gave encouragement. The boy scratched his head shyly, and even forgot to take protective measures in the midst of everyone's heckling and wanted to harden it.

"Tsk, there you go."

Qiu Xuan squatted on the ground and kicked Shen Jingxue's foot, who was standing next to him.

"I'm not going, just kidding, this is the tomb of yin and yang, if I ......"

"Hurry up, students are our main task, and we can't die anymore." Qiu Xuan glared at him, Shen Jingxue still shook his head, and Qin Jiuyuan next to him raised his hand for him with a brush on his arm.

"Students are inexperienced, so let's let the majors explore the way first." Qin Jiuyuan said lightly, "Don't worry, if he doesn't come up again, the rest of them will have a chance to line up one by one." ”

There are opportunities for all.

Qiu Xuan laughed briefly, and Shen Jingxue was pushed to the side of the rope, and resistance was written all over her body. "No, what, Makino, Makino! Let's discuss it again, I think this young man is very good, give people a chance to perform......"

Qin Jiuyuan let go of his hand expressionlessly.

didn't even make a sound, and Shen Jingxue disappeared from everyone's field of vision in an instant.

The crowd was silent for a few moments.

"Did he tie a rope when he went down?"

"I don't know, I just fell into the air......

"Isn't that just 'not coming up again'?"

"But I can't hear any sound down there, isn't it yet?"

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

Qiu Xuan pulled the soil twice with the sapper shovel in his hand, and the piece of soil near the center of the surface was still light and slightly dry yellow when he came yesterday, but now it has become dark. She twisted a few pieces of crumbs of soil into the palm of her hand with her fingertips, but she lacked professional knowledge and could not tell anything wrong from the distribution of the soil.

The soil was rubbed off, and only a very light dark red was left in the palm of the palm.

She wanted to get closer and smell if it was bloody, but as soon as her head was lowered, the nausea came back to her. I really didn't want to vomit again on this so-called fierce ground of Shen Jingxue, Qiu Xuan pretended to throw away the soil in the palm of her hand as if nothing happened, and stood up from the ground.

Aside from what she was currently worried about, she had to figure out what she was messing with now.

A group of people stood on the ground and waited for nearly half an hour, until finally even the emotional students were a little impatient.

Chen Ming's face was a little unsightly, "How can this distance of half an hour come to an end, why hasn't there been any movement?" ”

"Who knows, either something happened or I dug a hole in the bottom and ran away." A plain-looking boy said in a strange tone, and as soon as he said this, he was glared at by a female student in his companionship, he paused, and the cold snort became louder.

At this moment, the mud under Qiu Xuan's feet suddenly surged a few times.

A piece of rune paper stood up straight from the dirt, and she picked up the paper, and at a glance she knew that it was Shen Jingxue's handwriting.

It reads: I have touched the head, but the tomb road below is extremely narrow, and only one person can pass through at most, and now four more people are the limit.

Qiu Xuan pinched the rune paper and pondered for a moment, and the others also gathered around to see the information sent back by Shen Jingxue, and began to discuss the question of who went down.

Four people, the best match is two students and two executioners.

In this way, one person looks at the other, and if something happens, it is easy to get out.

"Count me in." In the line of the executioners, the man named Jorgi, who came from the future interstellar plane and raised a cannon to threaten the villagers in the village yesterday, was the first to speak. Immediately afterwards, several eager students also raised their hands.

Giorgi said: "Why don't I take three students down, there happens to be a brother below, and it should be enough for the two of us to look at the three students." ”

"Nope."

Unexpectedly, it was Qiu Xuan, who rarely spoke in team decision-making, who interrupted him at this time. She glanced at everyone, "This tomb is almost straight up and down, and you can also see that it took Shen Jingxue half an hour to go down alone." When the time comes, you will look at three people alone, and you can't take care of anything if something happens, so you will still pair up in pairs. ”

"Agreed."

"Okay, you want to look at your appearance, let's take a student each, it's okay."

"It's not me with you, it's me with her." Qiu Xuan turned her head sideways, and what was exposed to everyone's sight was Misha, a newcomer who looked more dazed than anyone else.

She finally turned her head and glanced at Qin Jiuyuan, "Muye, please help me take care of Chen Ye." ”

……

"I can't see anything anymore......"

The four of them descended in an almost vertical hole, Qiu Xuan pulled the rope tied around his waist, and the flashlight hit down. "Just follow me, we are tied together with ropes, we won't lose it, don't worry."

At the back of the line, there seemed to be the sound of Misha snorting for a second.

There were four of them this time, Qiu Xuan, Misha, and two students who volunteered. A few of the remaining large troops on the ground were left to wait in place, while the rest returned to the village to continue looking for clues.

In order to take care of the two aboriginal students, as well as Misha, who was almost no different from the aborigines, Qiu Xuan slowed down the rate of decline.

I don't know how their thief hole blew up, but after about five minutes of descending to the ground, the natural light that was originally projected overhead completely disappeared. The black glow couldn't see its five fingers, only the flashlight tied to Qiu Xuan's hand provided a faint light source.

Qiu Xuan touched a handful of soil with her palm, and when she began to descend, she still suspected that it was an illusion, but now she doesn't know it at all.

The further down you go, the more crimson the color of the earth becomes.

She had no doubt that her body, including her hands and feet next to the mud wall, was a slimy color of blood. Fortunately, the three people who followed him in the dark light couldn't see it, otherwise it would cause panic again.

At first, the two students who had gone down to the ground for the first time were still chasing Qiu Xuan softly and excitedly, and when the descent at such an angle lasted for nearly an hour, only the sound of panting and sobbing could be heard behind them.

"Why, why hasn't it arrived yet...... Generally speaking, the tomb could not have been built so deep, "a student who still has his last breath still there and does not give up." "It's so deep in the ground, it's impossible for craftsmen to build in it without oxygen, are we making a mistake?"

"Did you see any other way down the road?" Qiu Xuan's voice sounded a little panting, but it was still much better than them. "Hold on a little longer, I guess it's coming soon."

This constant repetition continued for a while, and Qiu Xuan suddenly stopped at the front, hung upside down on the rope and touched it.

"Here we are." As she spoke, she heard two relieved voices behind her almost instantly.

Two courses.

Qiu Xuan's face sank suddenly, her feet stepped on the soil layer above the so-called cemetery, and pulled the rope back. "Everyone's here, reply."

"Yes."

"I'm here."

There are only two student voices.

Qiu Xuan pulled the rope with a cold expression and groped through them one by one, and sure enough, this team of four people came down, and now there are only three people left.

Misha is gone.

The key is that the formation when they came down was tied by four people with ropes, and the order was Qiu Xuan, Student, Misha, and Student. In order to prevent such a situation, Qiu Xuan specially ranked Misha in third place when arranging, but now, a person in the middle is missing.

The rope didn't break well, and it was even connected between the second and fourth students. When Misha disappeared, the two people she was tied to in front of her didn't react.

In the light of the flashlight, the two students were equally aware of this. Compared to Qiu Xuan, who was not in direct contact with the first one, the psychological fear of the two of them was the deepest, and they whimpered and screamed with white faces at the moment.

"Shut up, let's keep moving forward first, go to Shen Jingxue." Qiu Xuan's face was also bad, and he said so for a while. "One less person is not the worst, and inexplicably one more 'person' is the trouble."

These words did not comfort the frightened students, and even added fuel to the fire.

Shen Jingxue is not here, I don't know if it was because the waiting time was too long and I was impatient to pass through the tomb in advance.

He said that the tomb passage was indeed cramped and narrow, and that the tomb passage was actually more like a slender ventilation duct, which was most likely used by the kind of burial craftsmen who built the tomb to finally escape for themselves. Across there, barely able to fit a person crawling, and a larger one can't get by.

Because there are three of them now, for Qiu Xuan, this is almost a pipeline that can only move forward and not retreat. It's just that after coming down, this tomb road is the only road that can be passed, and there is no choice but to climb forward.

"You two, especially the brother in the middle." Qiu Xuan turned around and admonished, "As long as you call me whenever you feel wrong, or if you 'disappear' for some reason, if possible, try to shout a reminder before then." ”

"Do you want to climb this......" The student in the middle spoke with a crying voice, "No, I, I'm claustrophobic, I, I want to go back......"

"Then why do you want to come down when you know you have this problem?" Qiu Xuan took a deep breath and comforted patiently, "It's okay, you are in the middle, this position is the safest, and you crawled over with your eyes closed." Why don't you go back the way you came now? You have to think about it, it took us an hour and a half to descend, how much time will it take you to climb up, and what will you encounter during this time? ”

The student sounded like he was on the verge of crying.

Qiu Xuan didn't have time to say more to him, so he crawled down at the moment, and climbed up in the cramped graveyard with his joints in an awkward position. There was a murmur behind her, and it was the two students who finally convinced themselves and climbed into the tomb.

The tomb was so oppressive that there wasn't much room above the head, and it was almost close to the body to crawl through. In just a few steps, Qiu Xuan was extremely uncomfortable to climb, not to mention the two students behind him who had almost no practical experience.

If you encounter something "something" in such a place, the chances of survival are infinitely close to zero.

Qiu Xuan was vigilant, holding the blade in his mouth, and gradually traveled a distance.
