Originally, we thought that if there was water, there would be an underground river, so we could leave this ancient tomb.

But we didn't expect that this place was actually a pool of stagnant water, which completely cut us off.

We took the flashlight and shone it around, the ground was wet everywhere, and there was a pool of water not far in front of us, the water surface was calm, and I don't know if it was because of the light, it looked black, like a pool of ink.

There are some toads everywhere on the ground, large and small, and from time to time there is the sound of "poof, poof, poof", which is the sound of those toads jumping into the water.

A large group of large toads had gathered behind us, and when they arrived at this place, they seemed to be unaffected by the Zhenyin Bell, and finally stopped following us, but scattered separately, some of them disappeared into the darkness, and some of them jumped into the pool.

"We're in the toad's den."

My heart sank slightly, and I was thinking about whether to go back here, but Liuzi said that there should be a place connected to the outside world, otherwise how would these toads always come in? And what to eat?

Huo Jin nodded and answered: "I see that the place used to be mostly a burial pit, but it was later infiltrated into a pool that became what it is now." ”

After listening to their analysis, I noticed the "tick-tock" sound of running water that I could hear all along, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Sun Lin walked to a wall with a flashlight, reached out and touched it, and called for us to come over and see.

When I looked at it, I realized that the wall was already soaked, the wall was not even, and some finger-thick grooves were vertically downward, and the water in the grooves was slowly flowing down, like a ravine in the mountain.

We took the flashlight and shone it up, only to see that about five meters from the water surface is the stone top, this place is like a naturally formed karst cave, the stone top is craggy, and there are many stalactites hanging upside down.

Liuzi thought for a moment and said that this place was most likely under an underground river, and the river was empty, and the water seeped down.

I remembered that we could faintly hear the sound of water running in the main burial chamber before, but I couldn't find where it came from.

And the frighteningly long passage we had been following had been going downhill, and it was winding and circling, and it should have been spiraling downwards in general, so this waterhole was probably directly below the main burial chamber?

If we infer from this, the water left on the walls must have seeped down from the underground river near the main burial chamber......

I said my speculation, and Sun Lin suddenly screamed: "So, the underground river is actually above our heads?" ”

"Then do we have to go back and find a way from the main burial chamber?"

Huo Jin suddenly made a bitter face, and said that if he knew why he was tossing so much, he should have tossed in the main tomb for a while, maybe he would have opened a wall earlier and could see the underground river.

Liuzi shook his head and said that it was not realistic, the main tomb was made of heavy stone bricks, including the ceiling and floor, and we had no tools in our hands, so it was almost impossible to chisel through any side, and it was impossible to use miniature grenades, not to mention that we only had one grenade left.

"What then?"

The sixth son pondered for a while, shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are still two ways now, the first is to toss around again and find a way to find our father's way out." ”

"But there are two hidden dangers, we don't have much water and dry food, we can't last too long, and I don't want to eat bats or toads."

"Another hidden danger is that the place where our parents went out is very likely to be blocked by themselves to get out, and even if we find it, we may not be able to get out from anywhere."

Liuzi's analysis was very reasonable, and when we heard it, we all fell silent, Sun Lin hesitated for a while, and asked what the second method was.

Liuzi smiled bitterly: "The second way is to find a way from this place." ”

Liuzi said that since there is water seeping down here, it means that the riverbed in a certain part of the underground river is relatively weak, or there may be a leak, and we may still dig out from that place and reach the dark river.

"It's just that this method is also pitiful, and it is much more dangerous."

Liuzi added: "If we want to dig the riverbed from the bottom, it will definitely cause the riverbed to collapse, and when the time comes, we may drown if we are not careful." ”

Seeing that everyone frowned, Liuzi smiled and said that in fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic, and there is the best possibility, that is, the water does not seep down from the riverbed, but from the banks on both sides, so that we will not have any danger in digging it out.

Sun Lin is also a person who does not drag mud and water, and after weighing the pros and cons, he immediately shouted: "There are dangers left and right, give it a try, it is better to be drowned in the water than to be trapped in this tomb!" ”

After some discussion, we all decided to look around separately to see which side was easier to climb, and to find a way to climb to the top to find the place where the most seeping water was going to be, and to dig through from there.

Because we only had two flashlights, we were divided into two waves, and I was in a group with Liuzi, Sun Lin and Huo Jin, and we began to walk along the wall one on the left and one on the right.

Liuzi and I were in charge of the left, and as soon as we walked out of the position of less than ten meters, we found that the stone brick wall next to it had turned into a rough rock wall, and it seemed that this place was really a naturally formed karst cave, but it was excavated and processed by the owner of the tomb for his own use.

After a brief glance, I was about to continue walking, but was stopped by Liuzi.

"Brother Wu, take it there."

Liuzi pointed to the edge of the stone brick wall and shouted, and I hurriedly took a flashlight to shine it, only to find that there was indeed a clue on the wall.

The walls here are also wet, with some grooves washed out by the current, and between these grooves, there are inscriptions.

The notches on the walls were new, different shades of color from the grooves that had been washed out by the current, and they were small numbers the size of a fingernail, and we might have missed them if Rokuko hadn't discovered them.

I was particularly sensitive to numbers, and just by glancing at them, I knew that this was the arithmetic code that my dad had left behind.

The number was very short, only a few groups, and I quickly translated it, it was a sentence: this place can be out of the tomb, worry about the big toad in the water.

Judging from the tone, my dad seemed to be in a hurry at the time, and he didn't even have time to elaborate, so he hurriedly carved this sentence and left.

But after seeing this sentence, I was overjoyed, it seems that our parents went out from this place!

As for those big toads, Zhenyin Ling can handle it, so there is no need to worry too much.

My sixth son and I walked a little further, and sure enough, we saw a few pitons nailed into the rough stone wall, and my father and his wife should have climbed up from here.

I took a flashlight and shone it up in the direction of the pitons, and sure enough, I saw a small hole less than one meter in diameter not far from the top of the cave, and I could vaguely see some water at the entrance of the cave, as if a small stream of water was flowing out of it.
