Originally, I saw that the passage began to slope upward, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it should be dry on the ground after a short time, but in fact the floor of the passage was still muddy, and because I had to climb up, it was even more difficult to climb, and I almost had to climb two steps before I had to slide a step back.

Fortunately, after climbing a certain distance, the ground began to get dry, and I felt that the air in the passage had become much fresher, probably not far from the exit of the passage.

Crawling and crawling, I suddenly found that Chen Fangyuan in front of me had stopped, he was lying on the floor of the passage, looking up at me, as if waiting for me to crawl over.

I sped up, crawled to Chen Fangyuan's feet, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Fangyuan replied in a very low voice: "The front is the exit, remember, no matter what you see, don't speak loudly!" ”

"Okay, I know, let's climb!" After holding in this silty passage for a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after continuing to climb for a few meters, I saw Chen Fangyuan suddenly stand up and climb out through the exit above his head.

After that, Chen Fangyuan stretched out his hand and pulled me out of the passage.

I climbed out of the passage and found that Chen Fangyuan had already put on the gas mask, and he pointed at the mask I hung around my waist and motioned for me to put it on too.

After that, Chen Fangyuan pulled up the people behind him one by one, while I put on a gas mask and began to look at the surrounding environment.

The place where we are now is a space less than two meters high, and the space is surrounded by dirt, which looks extremely irregular, it should have been dug out temporarily, the space is not large, and sixteen people standing in it seem very crowded.

In addition, on one side of the space, there is a leaking brick wall, and the brick wall has a hole in it, and it is pitch black inside.

As I walked around and looked at the space, I suddenly kicked something under my feet, and when I looked down, it was a brick, and judging from the style and texture of the brick, it was almost the same as the one on the brick wall.

Strangely, the bricks seemed to have been carefully let go, they were stacked into a circle, and there were some burnt branches inside, but these branches looked like they had been around for a long time, and they crumbled when pinched, not like they had been put in recently.

Chen Fangyuan, who was on the side, saw me staring at the ground in a daze, so he came over and explained: "This is where we found Batumu, after Batumu entered the ancient tomb, he dug out this place, he should have taken the tomb as his home, lived here for a few years, and finally died here." ”

After listening and thinking for a while, Chen Fangyuan said that they found Batumu here, Batumu entered the swamp hundreds of years ago, even if he did not disappear after his death, at least there was only a dry bone left, so Chen Fangyuan was so sure that what they found was Batumu, presumably they found relevant evidence.

Also, if Batumu died here, where was the tortoise shell? Chen Fangyuan said that he asked me to come and help him find the tortoise shell, that is, he had not found the tortoise shell yet, he said so frankly, I believed him.

I turned my head to look at the black hole in the brick wall, and wondered if I was going to look for it.

There was nothing around, and we had sixteen guns that we hadn't started using yet, I shook my head with a wry smile, and said to myself in my heart, don't think about it, it's there, you can't hide!

Past experience tells me that it is not a good thing to go deep underground, not to mention that Chen Fangyuan is selling and shooting guns along the way, even if he rushes these sixteen guns, I also know that there is a huge danger hidden behind the brick wall.

"Are you sure the tortoiseshell is in there?" I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and asked Chen Fangyuan.

Who knew that Chen Fangyuan shook his head and said, "Not sure!" ”

Before I could scold, Chen Fangyuan added: "But the chance of the tortoise shell being in it is very high, we have found a lot of Batumu's belongings here, but we have not found the tortoise shell, and we can be sure that Batumu entered the swamp with the tortoise shell, except for hiding in it, I can't think of any other possibility." ”

"But how did he hide the tortoise shell and get out alive?" I shook the gun in my hand and continued to ask.

For me, this is a very critical issue, Chen Fangyuan issued us body armor and eighty-one bars, as well as gas masks and headlamps, which can be regarded as armed to the teeth, I believe that Batumu hundreds of years ago definitely did not have the advantage we have now, since he hid the tortoise shell in the brick wall and came out alive, it means that he has a better way to get in and out of this brick wall than us, if we can know this method, then we are less dangerous.

However, Chen Fangyuan still shook his head without surprise, and said with a wry smile: "If I knew, I wouldn't have to invite you all the way over!" ”

I glanced at Chen Fangyuan and nodded helplessly, his words were not wrong.

At this time, Chen Fangyuan beckoned to everyone, motioned for them to come around, and then pulled me to squat down and said, "He boy, I'll tell you about the situation inside, and then see how you plan to arrange it." ”

I nodded, staring intently at Chen Fangyuan.

"As you can see, we didn't dig this hole in the wall." Chen Fangyuan said a word, then looked at me, and seeing that I didn't react, he continued, "After we found this thief hole, we immediately arranged for people to come in and investigate, and we found this hole in the wall, and then we also went in. Behind the wall is an octagonal underground hall with eight doors on each of the eight walls, which we could not enter, but we analyzed that one of the eight doors was the entrance and one was the exit. ”

"Exit?" I asked.

"Yes, the exit, of course, this exit is only relative to this octagonal hall, in fact this exit should lead to another place, all we have to do now is go through the hall and find that exit!"

"Wait, didn't you say there are eight doors? How do you know there's only one exit? What about the other six doors? ”

Chen Fangyuan sighed, "To be honest, this is just our analysis, we guess that this hall is just to block outsiders from entering, according to Qimen Dunjia, one of the eight doors has two openings, and the other six are all disguises." ”

"You're saying there's something in this hall that's preventing us from finding that exit?"

"That's right, when our men first went in, they found sixteen humanoid statues lined up in the hall, and these sixteen statues were arranged in some kind of array, and we thought that this was just an ornament, at most some kind of trick, but we did not know that these sixteen statues were actually alive. After entering the hall, I don't know where we triggered the mechanism, these sixteen statues came to life, caught us off guard, my people almost broke inside, and now there are two more lying in the hospital ward for serious injuries. Later, I organized people to go in again, but these statues were invulnerable, and they couldn't hurt them at all, so ~~~~"

"So you find me and push me into this pit!" I asked angrily.

Chen Fangyuan was a little embarrassed, he smiled bitterly twice, and said: "To be honest, my people will only be far away to deal with things that are not a threat to us, we can't do this kind of face-to-face struggle, don't worry, before this, Luo Laodao has set up a formation inside, you just need to drag those statues for a while, buy some time for Luo Laodao, I believe he has a way to deal with these things." ”
