I fumbled with the piece of fabric, and as soon as I said what I thought, the beard shook his head: "This is a sign that is true, but I think it is not a guiding signal, but it should be an identifier, judging from the equipment and food they left us after their disappearance, they should have redistributed these, most of the food and water they took with them proved that they intended to work in it for a long time, and deliberately let us have to return to the ground due to the scarcity of food, that is, this mark is not left to us, it exists, It should be to mark the difference between this chain. ”

Beard glanced at us and continued, "In other words, they arrived here, probably found something, and made a mark here. ”

I glanced at Knife and Leizi, and both of them agreed with Beard's point of view, and I thought that what he said was reasonable, but what did they find, and what did it mean to make this mark?

Xiao Dao said: "Guan Ye should have found the core of the mechanism." ”

Beard clapped his hands: "Yes! The purpose of this mark is not to represent something, but to distinguish something. You see, such a huge mechanism, with the weight of blood can be activated, indicating that its start switch must be very sensitive, since it is a sensitive thing, the volume is not allowed to be too large, I mean, this thin chain is the transmission part that starts this mechanism, because those thick chains are too bulky, can only do hard work, so the smaller the larger the mechanism, the more critical, this is called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the ancients made the mechanism is this way of thinking. ”

I patted my head and immediately realized, "You mean that this thin chain connects to the core of this mechanism, and my father marked it out to mark it differently from other chains?" ”

The beard nodded, and was about to speak, but Lei Zi snatched the head of the conversation: "No, there is no need for this, this thin chain is obviously thinner than the others, and a discerning person can see it at once, isn't it a snake to add to your mark by making a mark?" ”

Hu Ziyi waved his hand and said, "Did you listen to me and finish?" I guess the direction of this cloth was not here, it may have been tied inside the cave, due to the movement of the mechanism just now, the chain changed its original position, and pulled out the place where the cloth strip was bolted. My guess is that it is impossible for such a huge mechanism to have only such a chain to complete the task of touching, and in the depths of the hole connected by this chain, there must be many other chains of the same kind that play different roles, and your father marked them in order to distinguish the most important one. ”

"You mean, my dad didn't go down any further, but followed the chain into the mechanism?" I asked.

Beard nodded: "This is a path that a clever tomb robber must take in the face of a large ancient tomb, because if a large ancient tomb is full of deadly mechanisms, it will be dangerous for you to walk in it, but all the mechanisms have a core control room, if you can find this place, you can destroy all the mechanisms from the root, which is called twice the result with half the effort." ”

I don't understand the deep theory of tomb robbing, but the beard's words are the truth, and I have never seen him so reliable, so I looked at the knife, and the knife nodded deeply.

Lei Zi said: "Okay, beard, usually unreliable, this time it's quite good." ”

The beard is cheap, and he sells it well, and said with a smile: "That's, usually Hu Ye, I call it low-key, try to let you juniors experience when you can solve the problem, and now you can't solve this problem, no matter how low-key I am, it seems that I have a lot of hope, right?" ”

The knife shone the lamp through the hole in the thin chain, and said, "Go in." Then he climbed in first.

I glanced at the deep dark cave in the ground, and finally let out a long breath, for some reason, I always felt that there was a pair of terrible eyes staring at us in the depths of the earth, as if the beast trapped in the cage was coveting its prey, and now I changed direction halfway, and I didn't have to go down to the bottom of the cave anymore, which really made me put down a boulder in my heart.

Although the small hole is only half a person high, the down-to-earth feeling of squatting in it is simply many times more comfortable than hanging in the sky above the bottomless abyss, both physically and psychologically, it provides us with a foothold.

Sure enough, as expected, he walked into three or four meters, and a stone chamber appeared in front of him, in which two one-person-high bronze gears were bitten together, and dozens of bronze chains were gathered at the other end of the gears, leading to a dozen half-human-high holes.

We followed the chains tied to the strips of cloth and entered a small hole in it, which was wet and slippery, and we had to take off our flippers and walk barefoot, so I couldn't help but worry, the condition in the cave shows that when the water level of the waterhole rises, it must be filled with water, and Daddy They came in when the water level dropped, although there was no water in the cave when they came in, but we started the white jade gate outside, and the water level of the waterhole rose, these caves will definitely be filled with water, and it is difficult to guarantee that Daddy they will not encounter danger, Although they all have scuba with them, but this is at a depth of 100 meters underwater, and these stone caves go straight to the ground, without any decompression, I don't know how they deal with this kind of pressure.

However, it is not excluded that there is such a possibility, that organ room must not be flooded, that is, the organ room is relatively closed, and if they had arrived there a long time ago, they should be very safe. But there is another contradiction, if Daddy and they have already reached the mechanism room, they must have destroyed the mechanism of the ancient tomb, so that the Jade Gate Mechanism cannot be activated, since this mechanism has been activated by us again, to a large extent, Daddy They may not have found the mechanism room, or rather, they have only destroyed the mechanism they think is dangerous. Anyway, now that they're all in, there's no need to think too much, I originally thought that this time by my father's side, I would be able to solve the mysteries that plagued me, but I didn't expect my father's sudden disappearance, and the mysteries came one after another, which overwhelmed me even more.

Thinking wildly, I don't know how far I climbed in, Lei Zi suddenly screamed, I hurriedly looked back at him, and saw him clutching his teeth at the base of his thighs, and I didn't know what was wrong.

At this time, I heard Lei Zi scolding and scolding: "Damn, what stabbed my crotch?" Shhh As he spoke, he put his hand into his crotch and touched it, and there was blood on one hand.

The beard laughed: "Wow, buddy, aren't you here for the eldest aunt?" ”

Lei Zi's face turned green, and he scolded: "You aunt came." After taking off my miner's lamp, I immediately saw that Leizi's thighs were full of blood, and on the inner thighs, there was a black beetle the size of a bull's eye, which was desperately drilling into the flesh, and the whole head had been drilled into it. ”

Lei Zi saw such a big insect drilling into his thigh, he screamed in fright, and immediately wanted to pull it out with his hand, but the knife stopped him and said: "Don't move, this is a female, I want to drill into your flesh to lay eggs, as soon as you move it, it will desperately squeeze all the eggs into the meat, and then you can only cut the meat." Lei Zi glared and shouted: "Damn, don't I move, do you still help it deliver the baby?" Ignoring the knife's advice, he reached out and grabbed the cricket.

The knife shot like electricity, and immediately pinched Lei Zi's wrist, and Lei Zi screamed in pain, and then watched the knife quickly bite his fingers and drip blood on the body of the cripple, and the cripple suddenly did not move, and then suddenly it was like an electric shock, and instantly jumped from Lei Zi's thigh to the ground, just about to flapp his wings and run away, Lei Zi scolded, and went up to kick, the knife hurriedly said no, but it was too late, only to hear a crisp sound, a stream of white-green body fluids exploded to the ground, and the pungent stench came to my face, so that I almost fainted.

The knife shook his head and sighed, smearing the blood on his finger on Leizi's wound, and the bleeding immediately stopped.

I, Beard, and Lei Zi looked at the series of movements of the knife in a daze, and finally I didn't know who asked first: "The knife, are you also worried?" ”

Knife looked at us and nodded. I immediately wondered, "Why don't you have a tiger tattoo on your body?" Knife shook his head: "I don't know." ”

The beard looked at me, then at the knife, and mumbled, "Like!" ”

"Like what?" I asked. Hu Ziyin smiled and asked, "Concern, to be honest, has your father ever had a second wife?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately wanted to have a seizure, and the knife waved his hand and said: "The smell of this crickly body fluid will attract a large number of the same kind, these adults are not easy to deal with, let's go quickly." ”

As soon as we thought about the important matter, no one had the heart to talk nonsense, and we were just about to leave, when we suddenly heard a dense scrubbing sound from the depths of the stone cave, which felt like countless centipedes crawling on my body, and I suddenly got goosebumps when I heard it, and at the same time, I saw that the face of the knife suddenly became serious.
