The knife took the signal gun from the stupid Lei Zi's hand, aimed at the depths of the hole and put a shot, the flare dragged the dazzling tail down quickly, and exploded at fifty meters, with the dazzling white light, I saw that on the wall of the cave dozens of meters below, there were many eye-catching, colorful murals, with the rapid fall of the flares, the rapid change of light, those murals seemed to move, making the whole huge hole seem to suddenly become a super-large kaleidoscope, dazzling.

When the flare descended to more than 100 meters, it seemed to hit something, and suddenly it was scattered in all directions, and I could vaguely see that there should be a lot of thick iron chains running through that place, densely like spider webs. The flare stumbled through the chain and continued to fall, getting smaller and smaller, and the light became dimmer and dimmer, and the last bit of light was finally swallowed up by the darkness, and the entire huge cavern instantly changed back to that dark and terrifying state.

Lei Zi swallowed his saliva, and almost used all his strength to squeeze out a sentence: "Mom, this hole is fucking deep to grandma's house." ”

I had the vague illusion that there was a bloodthirsty demon living at the bottom of this cave, waiting for an alien prey, and we were its prey.

Hu Zi patted me on the shoulder and said: "You kid has a very good mouth, brothers, the dawn of victory is below, in order to turn over the serf and sing, Hu Ye and I are in front." As he spoke, he took out the rope from his backpack, fixed one end to the pickaxe, smashed the pickaxe into the crack in the stone, threw the other end of the rope into the hole, and then clapped his hands and sighed: "Miscalculation, it seems that the rope is a little shorter." ”

I looked at it and said indeed, the devil knows how deep this hole is, the long ropes we brought are all broken in the water hole, and now the ropes used for emergency use are fifty meters, and even the chain area of the hole can't be reached, let alone the deepest part of the hole.

Lei Zi was surprised: "No, Uncle Guan and the ropes used by their group are the same as ours, how can they go down?" ”

I thought back to the change in the waterhole just now, looked at the stone walls around me, and suddenly understood, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Oops, why didn't I think of it?" ”

"What didn't you expect?" Leizi asked.

I said, "My father and they have two ways to go down, first, they are so numerous that they can connect the ropes and climb down the ropes, but in this way, their ropes must remain on the cave wall, because if they go down, they can't take the ropes back; Second, some of them know the Yumen mechanism, and since they know this mechanism, they must understand the function of this waterhole, so that as long as they float on the water, when the mechanism is restored and the waterhole falls, they can descend to the deepest part of the cave with the water level. Now that we haven't found their ropes, they must have used the second method. ”

"Awesome!" Hu Zi clapped his hands and said: "This method is too awesome, hey brothers, why don't we each make up some blood and let the mechanism start again?" Teach us that unity is strength. ”

"Damn! You think it's a play house? Lei Zi scolded: "This is to activate the mechanism once, at least we have to drain a person's blood, and when we have gathered so much blood, we are about to stop cooking, do you still have the strength to swim?" ”

Hu Zi smiled: "I just made an opinion, and I didn't say that it was really bloodletting, are you concerned?" Besides, he cares about the blood that can save his life, and he is willing to let it go, but I am not willing to use it. ”

"I've got a way." I said, "We can do this, we have a total of four ropes in our hands, although we can't go down to the bottom of the cave at once, but we can recycle it." ”

Hu Zi snorted: "I understand what you mean, you think, one of us will pull out one of us, first go down the rope to fifty meters, and then fix another rope, so that it adds up to one hundred meters, and one hundred meters can reach the chain area, we can take a break on the chain, and then put the remaining two ropes down in the same way, so that we can go deeper for another hundred meters, if this hole exceeds the limit of two hundred meters, we can also use those chains." ”

I nodded, in fact, this is a very conservative method, according to my original idea, it was originally to leave one person on it, so that when we fix the second section of rope, the person above can remove the first section of rope and throw it to us, so that the four sections of rope become five sections of rope, and they can descend an additional fifty meters, but in this way, the person who stays on it has no way to go down, can only wait stupidly on it, I don't think anyone wants to do this kind of errand, especially the corpse with the diamond diamond next to it.

However, Beard said that I didn't expect to use iron chains, and if those iron chains could be disassembled, it would really come in handy. Each iron chain runs through the hole, and the diameter of the hole is more than 30 meters, and these chains are indeed a good resource.

"Just do it, Master Hu, I'll play as a striker." As he spoke, he grabbed the rope and was about to be the first to go down, when the knife suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Your Highness, I'll come." ”

Hu Zi was a little displeased, and he wanted to find fault with his eyes, Lei Zi patted him and said: "Okay, you haven't seen Brother Dao's skills, let him explore the way, let's rest assured." When the beard heard this, he was even more unhappy, and shouted, "What's wrong with your skills?" Hu Ye, am I poor? You ask and care, isn't it all the way I explored in the ancient tomb at the bottom of Erlongshan Lake? Haunted with forks? ”

I said in my heart that you still have the face to say? When you encounter a fork in the road, you even use the head of the rooster and the head of the hen, and the knife is a hundred times more reliable than you, so I said: "Come on, I still feel that the knife is better to take the lead." ”

The beard glared: "Damn, can you talk about morality?" Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young? Although I am young, how can I say that I have been crawling in the inverted fighting world for more than 20 years, I am considered a senior in front of you, right? ”

Lei Zi sneered: "I said Senior Hu, we are all a democratic society here, and whoever is older will say it, and you will obey the organization's arrangements when you are old." ”

Without further ado, the beard alone couldn't resist us, so we had to scold and scold the queen of the palace, the discussion was decided, and the knife immediately hit the head, I followed, Lei Zi was the third, and the beard was the queen.

When I went down to more than 20 meters, I looked up, I couldn't see the dome of the cave at all, in a huge cave, there were only four mineral lights to scan back and forth, the feeling was really indescribable, as if the whole world was left with the four of us, a strong sense of loneliness came to my heart, at this moment I also gave a new definition to the ancient tomb, it does not represent death.

Fifty meters, the knife legs clamp the rope, the other section of the rope of the pickaxe into the stone wall, this action seems simple, in fact the average person can never do, just take the rope with both legs, the difficulty is many times greater than usual, because the knife is wearing a smooth diving suit, through the diving suit can also clamp themselves tightly on the rope, physical fitness and psychological quality has not reached a certain level of people, absolutely can not do.

This area is the mural area I just saw, in fact, those colorful things are not murals, but different colors of rock strata faults, I guess there must have been a geological movement here, otherwise there would not be such a complex rock formation pattern.

After going down more than 30 meters, seeing that I was getting closer to those chains step by step, my body was already uncomfortable, grasping the rope and descending this technical work, definitely not as cool as we saw in the movie, the weight of the whole body is borne by both hands, to be exact, ten fingers to bear, after a long time, my ten fingers have appeared numb, which makes me a little scared, once the fingers appear paralyzed for a second, the whole person will immediately fall into the abyss.

It's not just me, the beard is even more painful, his burly body is like a polar bear, and the difference between weight and finger capacity is too great, and it's a miracle that he has been able to hold on until now. Later, this guy was so miserable that he began to curse and nag: "Damn, can you hurry up?" I said that you don't agree with me playing the striker, and they all say that the knife is more reliable than me, this is better, he is reliable, and when the master can't hold on and falls, he has to smash you down to the funeral. ”

With the nagging of the beard, we finally stepped on the iron chain, and only when we walked in did we see that the iron chain was much thicker than we imagined, all the iron chains were inserted into the surrounding stone walls in an irregular radial shape, and there were hundreds of them in a rough count, each iron chain was bronze, with a thick layer of green rust, looking at the thickness, almost every one was as thick as a thigh, which made me a little staggered, it seems that such a thick bronze chain could not be used.

The bronze chain has just been blistered, and the instability of the patina, the surface is very slippery, but holding such a thick bronze chain on its stomach is more comfortable than holding a thumb-thin rope, but as soon as I rested, the fatigue of the fingers began to turn into severe pain, and it felt like doing acupuncture, which was painful and painful, and I almost lost consciousness.

The knife lit up a cold smoke with one hand and shone around, and found that all the bronze chains were not fixed on the stone wall, and there was a half-human-high hole in the stone wall at one end of each bronze chain, and the bronze chain went deep into the cave and disappeared into the darkness.

"It seems that these bronze chains are the transmission part of the Jade Gate Mechanism." The beard gasped for breath while not forgetting to show off: "Look at the forging process of this bronze, I'm afraid the Qin and Han dynasties were not so awesome, if the owner of this tomb is really the Queen Mother of the West and the Duke of Dongmu, it should be earlier than the Qin and Han dynasties, this is a bit strange, the mother can't care about this, although this time it was not fucking lucky, but it was not in vain." ”

"Damn, beard, you pull me, why are the chains you are holding so thick, and I am thinner than a chicken?" At this time, I saw that Lei Zi was holding a bronze chain as thick as an arm, trying to climb to our side, I was a little puzzled, the bronze chains here are all as thick as thighs, why is it as thin as his? Could it be that the ancients also liked to cut corners?

The beard laughed: "Look, this is called gathering like things, haha." Lei Zi heard the beard scolding him, and scolded back: "You are the chicken on the dog day, hey, what is this?" Halfway through the cursing, Leizi seemed to be attracted by something, beckoned us, and crawled to the hole at the end of the thin bronze chain.

I was afraid that he would be in danger, so I hurriedly followed, and the knife and beard also came over.

Lei Zi crawled to the entrance of the cave, pointed to a black thing on a thin bronze chain, and said, "Look, what is this?" ”

We went up to see that it was a black cloth tied to a chain, and I cut it and said, "Damn, what do I think, isn't it just a piece of cloth?" What's all the fuss? ”

As soon as the beard waved his hand, he said, "No, didn't you find anything special about this cloth?" As he spoke, he tugged at my wetsuit.

I suddenly felt a shock in my heart, and looked closely at the piece of fabric, its material was the same as the diving suit we were wearing, that is, this cloth was left by my father! Yes, the strip of cloth is tied to the chain, which means that it was not accidentally scraped off, but someone deliberately tied it to it, so why did he do it? Could it really be that as we speculated, Daddy is in trouble, and this cloth is a mark left for me?
