Chapter 208: Pursuit
Once we fight Zhang Bing, we all have to plan for the worst.
If Zhang Bing uses the mechanism in the tomb like this time, even if there are many people on our side, it is still impossible to say which side will win.
Unless we see Zhang Bing, we will immediately kill him with the long-range weapons in his hand, including the compound crossbow and the gun in Tang Mian's hand, without waiting for him to react.
But in this way, we have no way to extract some useful information about this tomb from Zhang Bing's mouth.
This Zhang Bing must know something, just in the stone platform, it has already been shown, at least Zhang Bing has a certain degree of understanding of the organs in this tomb.
The mechanism set up at the stone platform before can be said to be quite hidden, but Zhang Bing seems to know the structure of the mechanism there.
I'm afraid that Zhang Bing didn't know where to see the map of the tomb.
In this way, even if Zhang Bing does not use the organ, we will inevitably have some scruples in our hearts.
While everyone was constantly thinking about what to do, eight hours passed unconsciously, and after another replenishment of water and food before leaving, everyone was ready to go.
After about eight hours, the water temperature of the pool has basically reached a level that a normal person can bear.
Fingers lightly touched the surface of the pool, and the temperature of the water was not too high, almost the same as the temperature of the water when it was cooled before, close to the temperature of the water in the bath.
When it was determined that the temperature of the water could be tolerated by normal people, everyone jumped into the pool one after another.
The stone platform was originally under the water, but when the previous mechanism was activated, as we fell, the stone platform had risen high to the level of the previous pool.
The mechanism of the whole tomb is very reasonable, and if the height of this stone platform remains the same, it is estimated that it will be poured into the boiling water immediately.
By the time they were ready, everyone had already reached the position of the central stone platform.
The stone platform is not very large, according to the size, it is conservatively estimated that a stone platform can only be stood by two or three people at most.
First two or three people went up, and then they went down to the passage, and the rest of us were still soaked in the water, and went up one by one in order.
Now we have seen the mechanism in this pool with our own eyes, which uses quicklime to react with water to heat the water instantly, and now all the quicklime in the pool has been consumed, so even if you stay in the pool, there is nothing to worry about.
As they went down one by one, it was soon my turn, staring at a dark hole that did not seem to be in the middle of winter, and I felt a little dazed.
But after only a few seconds of hesitation, I immediately bothered myself and climbed down the hole little by little.
The entrance to the cave is very narrow, that is, there can be a person in front of him, and his hands and feet can be supported on the wall, and he can climb up little by little.
However, it seems that due to the moisture in it, the walls inside are unusually slippery, and every time you climb down a little bit, you can feel your feet slipping hard, and if you are not careful, it is very likely that your hand will slip and the whole person will fall on the head of the person below.
Then in the dim light, I could clearly see the heads of the people going down in front of me, and every step was unusually careful.
We didn't know how long it was, but we climbed down it for a full five minutes without seeing the bottom.
By time calculation, we should have climbed more than 20 meters now, and we still haven't reached the end.
While running in the countryside, I knocked on the stone wall with one hand, and immediately there was a hollow sound in the stone wall, and it was obvious that the stone wall in front of me was hollow.
It's normal to think about it this way, and judging by the distance we are traveling, we have long since exceeded the hollow where the water flowed before.
If nothing else, the mezzanine between these pillars should be a channel for the flow of water.
"In the end!"
After another ten minutes or so, I suddenly heard a cry of surprise from below, and I was slowly relieved that I was still propped up on the wall.
To be honest, in such a situation, in order to prevent slipping, it takes a lot of physical strength to take every step, and if I have to continue to climb down, I will really be overwhelmed.
This sentence spread quickly in the long passage, not only me, but everyone above heard it, and immediately it was like a chicken blood, and the speed was much faster for a while.
Then, in just one minute, I was on the ground.
At the bottom of the passage, in the direction of due north, there is a passage that can be passed by one person.
By this time, the people who had gone down before me were already standing in the passage, walking quickly towards the other side of the passage.
I didn't wait for the others behind me, but quickly followed the advancing team and kept moving forward, and those who were left behind could only speed up their own pace.
We're now nine hours behind, and that's more than enough time to explore a small tomb.
If you take advantage of this moment and don't hurry up and rush forward, I'm afraid you won't be able to find Zhang Bing's shadow in this tomb.
Everyone knew this, so everyone thought about holding their breath, and almost everyone took advantage of the eight hours they had spent resting by the pool to sleep for a while.
In this way, if Zhang Bing always finds some places to sleep in such a big tomb, he can take advantage of Zhang Bing's time to catch up with him.
The passage was so narrow that only one person could pass at a time, and it was impossible for two people to walk side by side, and from time to time I could see a little trace of people passing by on the walls.
After all, the tomb is so narrow that it is impossible to leave no trace on it once someone passes through.
"These traces should be the traces left by Zhang Bing when he passed."
Tang Mian, who was standing in front of me, spoke while looking around at the scene.
At the mention of Zhang Bing, everyone's heels tightened unconsciously, and the speed under their feet was slightly faster.
"Speed up your feet, this tomb is so narrow, there is no room to dodge, Zhang Bing can pass here, it means that there is either no mechanism here, or the mechanism has been disposed of!"
With Tang Mian's words, the speed under everyone's feet was much faster, and the diameter went in the direction of the front.
