The fat man and I held our flashlights and walked towards Gu Ling's position.

"Did you find anything?" I watched as the ancient spirit crouched on the ground.

Gu Ling got up and took a few steps back, "It's here, that's right. ”

The fat man listened in a fog, "What here and there?" ”

Everyone shone the flashlight at the place where Gu Ling was squatting just now, there was a small groove, only the size of a marble, and there were lines of different thicknesses all around the groove, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it at all.

I looked up at the ancient spirit, "This is a blood sacrifice?" ”

Gu Ling immediately walked among us and said, "There are a wide range of small lines distributed on the ground, and the end of these lines is located at the base of the twelve stone statue totems, so one person's blood is far from enough, we can try it together." ”

Gu Ling handed the flashlight to You Hanshan, then bent his legs and knelt next to the small groove, pulled out the dark red dagger on his waist, held the entire handle of the knife in his hand, and with a stroke of his right hand, a large amount of blood flowed down Gu Ling's fingertips to the middle of the small groove, the small groove seemed to have an absorption effect, and the blood flowed to the middle of the groove without overflowing.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that the blood in the groove began to flow in all directions, and Gu Ling's face became pale over time, and I saw that her whole person began to become trance-like, so I also learned the posture of Gu Ling and knelt beside the groove, "I'll come." ”

Gu Ling glanced at me lightly and didn't say anything, and the force on the side helped her up, because I had already slashed on my left hand before, and I never thought that one day my right hand would have to go through this ordeal, I placed my right hand on the top of the groove, maybe it was the reason that I was used to before, I didn't hesitate anymore, and stroked down the center of my palm.

The fat man stood not far away and shouted, "It's less than a quarter, can a few of us do it?" After speaking, he walked over to me, "Okay, okay, you were also a bloodbled person before, so let's stop here, leave it to your fat master and I'll come." ”

I knew very well what it meant to do what I could, although the previous knife didn't shed much blood, but unlike Gu Ling, I didn't have the physical fitness of hers, and after listening to what the fat man said, I immediately stood up, and Hentmul simply bandaged it for me to prevent excessive blood loss.

The rest of the people carried out the blood dripping ritual in turn, and even the previously injured Qi Lijian still didn't move, and volunteered to slash his hand, and the fat man, who was standing from a distance to observe the situation, shouted: "Hold on for two or three more seconds." ”

Qi Li clenched his fists tightly, and as the fat man said, there was a creaking sound at the position of each stone statue totem, the sound was extremely heavy and ancient, the fat man was afraid that it would be too far away from us, and it was difficult for him to deal with a critical situation, so he immediately ran towards us, and everyone raised their flashlights to look at the stone statue totems on both sides of the main hall, and the palace under their feet began to shake.

The totems on both sides quickly sank down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and everyone didn't know what kind of scene would appear next, and cold sweat broke out on the fat man's nervous forehead.

When all the stone statue totems sank to the point that they couldn't even see the top, there was a sound of stone tools and metal colliding above our heads, and everyone immediately looked up, and the dome of the main hall, which was originally nothing, had already cracked a black opening, which was enough to be the size of one side.

As the sound of metal colliding with stone tools got closer and closer, from the square black hole, a black rope-like thing slowly hung down, and I held up my flashlight to take a closer look, the black rope was nothing else, it was a black iron chain half a wrist thick.

"There's something there!" The fat man exclaimed next to me.

I immediately reminded the fat man, "Be careful, step back, if something falls down on it, I won't be able to save you." ”

A few minutes later, the black iron chain suddenly stopped less than a meter above the ground, everyone look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do now, I looked at Gu Ling, "Shall we go up?" ”

Gu Ling nodded and said, "I'll go up and take a look first, and if there's no danger, I'll tell you." ”

The fat man patted me and said with a smile: "Why bother, learn a little, this is the master of the masters, you see how brave a little girl is, when will you show us your hands." ”

Sometimes Gu Ling is very confident in her skills, and sometimes it gives me the feeling that we are not there, and it doesn't seem to have any big impact on her actions.

We watched Gu Ling slowly climb up along the iron chain, the dome of the main hall is nearly ten meters high, but the situation inside the dome is not clear, Gu Ling may be because of the previous blood loss problem, this time the speed of the ascent is much slower than the previous speed, Gu Ling entered the black hole four or five minutes later, suddenly fell from the top of a glow stick, You Hanshan picked up the green glow stick and said: "The top is safe, I will go up first, and you will slowly follow." ”

We don't know what the bearing capacity of this black iron chain is, in order to avoid danger, we choose to climb up in pairs, because the weight of the fat man suffered from everyone's doubts, the fat man had to be unhappy to say: "You go up first, the fat man I will break it for you, so it's no problem, right?" ”

Qi Li showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Then I have to wronged this fat comrade." ”

Mi Li followed You Hanshan and climbed up first, and Kentmore and I climbed up the chain after making sure they were in a safe position.

Maybe it's because after hundreds of years of burial, many places on this chain have begun to shed some large and small iron filings, which are very unpleasant to wipe on the hands, and sometimes when you look up, you can't help but have some debris falling on your face.

When we climbed to the top of the main hall, we found that there was a long section on it, the entrance was a rectangle, the whole hole was about enough for two adult men to pass through at the same time, and the four walls of the entrance were made of square bricks, and there was nothing else worth noting.

I climbed up for about a few minutes with Kentmoor, and the chain came out of a brick, probably because of the mechanism, the hole in the chain was in the shape of a cross, and after Kentmoor left the top of my head, I realized that there was a tunnel that looked like a ventilation duct above.

I folded the fluorescent plate left by Gu Ling, and threw it directly, signaling to the fat man that we had left the chain, and let him climb up boldly, and not long after the glow stick fell, I heard the sound of the chain behind me beginning to rub against the stone wall.

In order to leave a place for the people behind, everyone moved forward a lot at the beginning, waiting for the back to follow, the fat man climbed much slower than me, not because of the strength of the arms and legs, but because the weight of the fat man made himself a little unbearable, and waited for the fat man for ten minutes, and finally climbed up.

"Why don't you go forward?" The fat man said.

I glanced back at the fat man, "Are you waiting for this one, in case you can't come up just now, we still have to find a way for you to pull it up?" How's that, now you know that the flesh on your body is a burden, right? ”

The fat man snorted, "Go, don't make fun of me with your fat man." The fat man rubbed his arm on his face and continued: "What are you doing with it, let's go, I don't need to rest." ”

Before the fat man finished speaking, they had already climbed a lot forward in the You Han Mountain in front, and the tunnel was covered with dust all around, I don't know if it was because of the Hunter Mul or the Li, the fat man and I almost choked the dust in the back.

While crawling forward, I carefully looked at the tunnel in front of me, I don't know what the designer of the dungeon made such a secret passage in the first place, I have seen some things about tombs in books in the past, most of the tombs if there is a dark room, generally choose on the wall or the ground, and it will be well camouflaged.

But from the top of the tomb of tens of meters to set up a secret passage, it is really novel, but from the design point of view alone, although it is not very difficult to open a tunnel, but the distance between the twelve stone statues on the ground of the palace and the dome is ten meters high, and the surrounding space is also hundreds of squares.

I was thinking about it as I crawled, and the fat man stopped me from behind and said, "What's the matter, have you heard any rustling sounds?" After the fat man finished speaking, he cocked his thumb and pointed back.

"Do you really have that good ears? You were in the tunnel down there before—" Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Fatty, it can't be your crow's mouth again, right?" ”

In order to confirm that he really heard a voice behind him, the fat man wanted to look back clearly, the fat man moved to the left a few times, and then to the right a few times, but he couldn't move it, and almost wiped his hair out several times.

The Gu Ling in front heard me arguing with the fat man in the back, and immediately shone the flashlight behind us, and You Hanshan and Kentmoor in front of him also looked at us with their backs facing up, and for a while the flashlight in Gu Ling's hand pierced my eyes, and I wanted to block it with my hand.

"Don't move!" The people in front blurted out almost at the same time.

I looked up at them slightly, and found that their expressions were extremely solemn, as if they had seen something bad, and the fat man heard that the people in front of him had stopped, and hurriedly poked his head past me, "What's the matter, everyone?" Why didn't you leave all of a sudden? ”

The fat man saw that we were motionless, staring closely at the stone wall above the dark passage, and the whole person was in a fog, "I just said that I heard a little movement behind me, what are you so nervous about?" ”
