Chapter 37: Advance and Retreat
It may be because the two of them were drenched in the underground river water just now, although there is no wind in the cave at this time, but both of them feel a cold feeling, plus the atmosphere here is really depressing, the coffin is like a white jade boat floating on the river, and there is a kneeling corpse with an extremely pious performance, all of which makes this place have an indescribable weirdness.
As soon as Wu organized the language, he said the conjecture in his heart.
In fact, Wu Yi's idea was very simple, if the dry corpse did not walk over quietly by himself, then there was only one possibility for him to run from the bushes to the coffin, and that was through the action of external forces. In the case of excluding the fact that there is a third party lurking here, this external force can only be given by Wu Yi and the blind man.
Wu Yi briefly analyzed the time when the dry corpse moved, which almost coincided with the time when the two of them pulled the chain before, if they thought in this direction, could it be that the force of the two of them acting on the chain also made the dry corpse move!
The blind man frowned when he heard this, he was also a man with an extremely active head, and after a little groaning, he said,
"Master Wu, do you mean that when we pulled the chains, the dried corpse was dragged into the hole behind him?"
Wu nodded and said,
"Quite possibly. I saw earlier that behind the place where the dry corpse was kneeling, the bushes were all overwhelmed, which was most likely pressed by the dry corpse when it was dragged over, and there were still a few pieces of armor fragments on the corpse's body left there, so there should be nothing wrong with this conjecture. ”
The blind man said,
"But we're pulling the chains, how can this force make the kneeling corpse retreat?"
Wu Yi sighed in admiration when he heard this, and said,
"If I'm right, then this thief bald really has the potential to be a magician!"
Saying that, Wu Yi simply continued to talk about his thoughts.
According to Wu Yi's thoughts, there should be a thin line on the leg of this dry corpse that connects to the underground river in the mouth of the cave, and the other end of the thin line is tied to the bottom of the coffin of this jade coffin! When the two of them turned the winch and lifted the coffin from the bottom of the underground river, the coffin rose, which naturally drove the thin line, and the dried corpse at the other end of the thin line was also pulled backwards until it was pulled closer to the hole in the ground!
The time to turn the winch just now was not short, and this time was enough for the dried corpse to float along the thin line all the way to the coffin in the underground river.
As for why the dry corpse knelt on the coffin board, Wu Yi also made a conjecture, after years of weathering, the dried corpse itself has no weight, and it is easy to float on top of the coffin in this underground river, coupled with the sudden eruption of biogas in the underground river before, this white jade coffin suddenly rushed up, which is to hold out the dry corpse, which formed an extremely strange scene at this time.
After listening to Wu Yi's explanation, the blind man couldn't help but admire again and again, stretched out a thumbs up at Wu Yi, and said with emotion,
"Master Wu, you can think of this kind of thing, high wow, really high wow! I was disrespectful to you before, old man, so I'll give you compensation first! The owner of this tomb is secretly Chen Cang, but he didn't expect to be broken by Wu Ye so easily, and he should be opened by us to steal the treasure! ”
After the previous three times of fright, Wu Yi calmed down a little at this time, and he said to the blind man,
"I am right or not, whether you say it or not, we still have to go and see if there is a thin wire connected to the dry corpse and the coffin, if there is, it means that I have guessed correctly. If not...... Blind, if there is no thin wire connection, it means that this matter is beyond our cognition, and we have to give up this fight, this time I blame me for being too reckless, and I took you to this strange fight without any preparation, and we will bring the good guy to the next day, and then come to the **** mother's vote! ”
The reason why Wu Yi came to this tomb in a hurry was to put it bluntly, he still wanted to complete the task given by the god-level tomb robbery system as soon as possible, but Wu Yi didn't expect that this task would be so difficult.
Although there is no danger along the way, it has already dealt a serious blow to Wu Yi's inflated self-confidence, if he guesses wrong this time, if he wants to continue to open the coffin and encounter strange things, Wu Yi himself may not be able to say whether it will completely collapse. As for the human skin map, fortunately, there is no time limit on the system, and it is not too late to steal it from this jade coffin after you are ready!
Seeing that Wu Yi was really cheered up, the blind man was no longer as worried as before, and he was also smiling, and hurriedly said,
"Master Wu, where are you talking about, the old man is willing to come with you to go through this experience, but I really haven't blamed you for your thoughts! To be honest, Master Wu, you can take the old man to relive the excitement of the inverted fight. Love, the old man will only be grateful to you! Yes! Just listen to you, if there is no fine line on the corpse, let's go home and prepare to fight again in the future! If there is a thin line, Master Wu, we should also pull the tomb owner out to greet him, hum, he has suffered so much for us, does he also have to suffer a little bit! ”
Wu nodded, then re-ignited the torch wrapped in animal skin in his hand and walked towards the underground river.
Wu Yi's mood was a little nervous at this time, although his conjecture just now was reasonable, but it was just his own wishful thinking, God knows if the thief bald was using this method.
At this time, the coffin was still swaying with the undulating surface of the underground river, with the help of the light on the torch, the coffin emitted a crystal clear light, as it got closer, the coffin was illuminated more brightly, and a shadow seemed to appear on the white and flawless white jade coffin wall, the shadow was not difficult to identify, it was the shape of a person lying there.
Wu Yi swallowed his saliva and stood on the edge of the river and looked over, but the ground seemed to be bubbling out of the swamp gas, the river was shaking very much, and the light was too dim, Wu Yi squinted for a long time, and he couldn't see whether there were thin lines on the dried corpse.
Wu Yi thought about it and squatted down, pulled the chain hard, and suddenly, the coffin was like a small boat about to dock, carrying the dry corpse slowly approaching the river bank!
