Chapter 21: The Salt Lake

Ah Chuan patted me on the shoulder: "Things are much more complicated than you think, your character is not good, at least not now, if you give up this piece of jade, I will give you a satisfactory result, even if I die, someone will come to tell you." ”

"How could you die?"

I blurted out, only then did I realize that I was willing to believe him in my heart, at least he was really protecting me along the way, but it was a pity that I was willing to trust anyone, but I didn't know who was sincere to me.

I felt the sadness in my heart gradually disappearing, this was the first time I saw the cruelty of society, and it was completely subverted at the beginning, I suddenly realized that I couldn't be so weak, how could I unlock the blood curse of my family.

I looked at him, "What if I don't want to." ”

"Why are you so obsessed!" Ah Chuan looked at me, his eyes full of puzzlement, "You've already seen how dangerous it is here, haven't you?" A normal zombie can kill you, and our road ahead will be much harder than it is now! ”

"I'm not afraid!" I didn't know where I got the courage to shout, "You won't tell me what I ask, how can you make me believe you!" This is my family's blood curse, what qualifications do you have to keep me out of it! ”

Ah Chuan looked at me without saying a word, the incomprehension and anger in his eyes faded, and instantly became extremely clear, and I saw Xiao Qi turn his head to look at me, his eyes were full of incomprehensible meaning.

"You've really figured it out?" Agawa's voice was calm.

I don't know why I felt a trace of fear, the angry Achuan is not terrible, but the calm Achuan in front of me makes me feel chills all over me.

But I still met his gaze and nodded: "I think about it." ”

Ah Chuan gently curled the corners of his mouth: "Zhao Changze, you will regret it." ”

Ah Chuan's voice was very soft, but it was also very cold, and I felt that what he said was not angry words, but facts.

I clenched my fists tightly and said in my firmest voice, "I don't regret it." ”

Ah Chuan looked at me and smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand, and said in a relaxed and happy tone: "Since you don't regret it, then welcome." ”

This man is simply insane!

I didn't stretch out my hand, I felt that his whole aura was different from just now, he was like an elder who scolded me, but now he looked like a stranger, I looked at him, and felt that his whole person revealed a mature and sophisticated cold temperament.

This kind of temperament is very similar to Xiao Qi, but there is something different, I am confused in my thinking now, and I can't tell it at all.

I suddenly thought of the old horse again, and said: "Where did the old horse go, and when did you change ......him?"

"What does it matter to you where he goes, there are some things that people won't tell you if you ask them, don't always act like an idiot."

I didn't speak again, Ah Chuan was right, since I want to take this path, I have to think for myself, I was really stupid to ask this kind of question just now.

"What about the jade, give it to me."

Ah Chuan turned his head to look at Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi shook his head at him, Ah Chuan turned his hands and spread his hands: "I didn't get it." ”

I suddenly had a nameless fire, these two people can't be playing tricks on me.

"Look, it's this expression again," Ah Chuan looked at me and smiled, "It's so hard to hide your mind a little?" You are an old fritter on the road, even if you are stunned, you can play around, too, even Ma Wenguang's guy can play you. ”

"Alright, Achuan."

Xiao Qi suddenly spoke, she seemed to be disgusted with Ah Chuan preaching me like this.

"It's hard over there, you have to use your armor."

"Oh?" Ah Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Even you can't handle it?" ”

"Nonsense." Xiao Qi coldly spit out two words.

Ah Chuan was not angry at all, but smiled cheaply, and he pulled me up: "Come on, rookie, the adventure continues." ”

I looked at them in confusion and felt out of place with them, but it didn't matter, I just had to get the jade.

Xiao Qi also stood up, I saw that the blue on her lips had receded, the inexplicable potion seemed to have a significant effect, she turned her injured wrist, I saw blood leaking out of the bandage, but she didn't even frown.

This woman is really scary.

Ah Chuan leaned down and groped inside the sarcophagus, I heard a "click", and saw the bottom of the sarcophagus swaying slightly, Ah Chuan looked relaxed: "So it's here." ”

No wonder Xiao Qi will appear in the sealed sarcophagus, it turns out that the bottom plate below can be turned over, I reached out and touched it, and the bottom plate was a thick layer of salt, very wet, much thicker than the outside of the coffin.

Ah Chuan pressed the side of the bottom plate and forced, the bottom plate turned over, and at the moment of flipping, I saw that the water was close to the bottom, and it was dark and I couldn't see the bottom.

A humanoid figure completely covered in salt appeared in front of me, and for too long it had been glued to the bottom of the sarcophagus with the salt, merging with the sarcophagus, and I held my breath and tried to make myself look calm.

This is certainly not the coffin of the tomb owner, and no tomb owner would seal himself in a pickle jar and pickle it.

I feel that I still know too little, if I come alone, not to mention whether I can break through the Longtan Tiger's Den in front, I can't see this mechanism alone, if I can't find the jade here, I will definitely cry urgently.

Ah Chuan said that Lao Ma once came in and shut down the mechanism that could cut off the flow of the Yangtze River, so he must know more than me, I don't know where he went, but I was indeed played like a monkey by him.

"A few minutes?" Ah Chuan asked.

"Five minutes." Xiao Qi spoke.

"Oh, it's long enough, this kid can't hold it back," Ah Chuan said, turning his head to look at me, "Can you swim?" ”

I quickly nodded: "Yes." ”

"I remember that you brought a wetsuit and an oxygen tank, hurry up and put it on, Xiao Qi, you also put it on, this water salt is too high, and there is no water to wash the wound if you touch it."

Ah Chuan squatted down and turned out the diving suit and oxygen cylinder from the bottom of the backpack, and handed one set to me and one set to Xiao Qi.

I bought the most expensive impermeable foam rubber wetsuit, which was very difficult to wear, and all kinds of small accessories were enough to keep me busy, but Ah Chuan was watching with interest from the side, and he didn't mean to help at all.

I also held a breath in my heart, since he didn't like me and thought I couldn't do it, then I had to make an appearance.

Xiao Qi wore it very smoothly, and I couldn't install a few small parts well, so I peeked at her and learned quietly.

The wound on Xiao Qi's wrist must have been torn again, and I saw that the blood stains on the bandage were becoming more and more obvious, thinking about how painful the wound should have been if she had swam in such a concentrated salt water for five minutes?

The waterways below must have been covered in salt, and it was definitely not easy for this woman to find a mechanism to escape while holding her breath for so long.

I thought, laughing at myself, how could a woman who dared to go to the cemetery alone in the dark at night be a simple character.

I followed Xiao Qi's example and put on the diving suit, and Ah Chuan carried an oxygen cylinder to install it for me, I didn't refuse, they could hold their breath for five minutes, I couldn't kill them, I was just an ordinary person, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Despite thinking about it, my face is still numb, if the future road is really like Ah Chuan said, even he may not survive, then what confidence do I have to go on.

I'm so weak, courage can't be used as strength, I really regret it a little, they can help me this time, there will always be a time when they can't help, what should I do then?

But now if you want me to tell Ah Chuan to give up, I can't say anything, the big words have already been said, I can't slap myself in the face.

In fact, I really envy those who dare to say "no", they are the real psychological power.

"Xiao Qi, you take the lead, my palace."

Ah Chuan arranged it naturally, and he put me in the middle, obviously trying to protect me.

Are they really not trustworthy? Once again, I was shaken, having just decided not to trust anyone but myself.

This is my biggest weakness, as long as others show me a little kindness, I will feel from the bottom of my heart that he is a good person, and it is precisely because of this that Lao Ma can deceive me so easily.

I gritted my teeth and told myself over and over again not to be gullible, I had already paid for it and how many times I wanted to pay.

Xiao Qi stepped on the side of the bottom of the sarcophagus and jumped in with a "poof", what she was holding in her hand was a waterproof flashlight that was turned out of my bag, and she was not polite to use it at all.

The contents of the backpack were scattered all over the place, and Ah Chuan had no intention of cleaning up, so I turned my head to look at him: "Don't you want any of these?" ”

"Don't do it, it's also a burden to carry it, it's enough to have Xiaoqi."

I opened my mouth and didn't speak again, Ah Chuan trusted Xiao Qi extraordinarily, and I remembered that when I first opened the sarcophagus, he already knew that Xiao Qi was in the coffin, but he still showed a surprised expression, as if he didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so embarrassed.

I can't trust Xiao Qi, she herself is injured, what confidence does Ah Chuan have to believe her, thinking like this, I still picked up the sapper shovel and jumped down like Xiao Qi.

The water was cold, and even though I was wearing a thick wetsuit, I could feel the cold, and it must be a circulating underground water system.

It was pitch black underwater, and I couldn't get to the bottom of it, and the feeling of instability in the levitation made me uncomfortable.

The wetsuit was bulky, and it was difficult for me to try to swim, and I had to move my hands and feet a few times to get into position.

This should be a huge salt lake, I can see Xiao Qi's flashlight in front of me, but except for this little bit of light, the surroundings are all dead darkness, the lake is very deep, very large, and I can't see the edge at all.

There is such a huge salt lake under this ancient tomb, I can't judge how big it is, I just feel like I am suspended in the infinite space, I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will take to build such an ancient tomb, where is the main coffin?

By the faint light of the flashlight, I looked up and saw that the top of my head was full of salt, spreading until the light disappeared.
