Chapter 37: The Dead Tomb Robber

I opened my backpack and took a look, and it was full of ropes, daggers, and pickaxes, and the grave seemed to be quite deep.

"Let's go." Xiao Ling dragged Zhang Le back to the simple room, waved at me, and the two of us stepped into the cave where we couldn't see our fingers.

It's very damp inside, and as soon as you enter the cave, you can feel a wave of moisture coming to your face, and it makes people feel very uncomfortable on your face. Xiao Ling asked me to wait for a while, and then squirming as if he was feeling something in his pocket, and then there was a slight sound of "bang", and a small red light lit up from his hand, I took a look, he was holding something in his hand that seemed to be a lighting flare, although the light emitted was very weak, but at least it could let the two of us see the road ahead.

"I've been turning over for a long time, and that's all there is to it." Xiao Ling said.

I took out my phone from my pocket and shook it in front of him: "Is the flash a success?" My phone is full, and I still have a power bank in my pocket. ”

"You put it away first, I don't know how long this flare can last, and if it runs out of power for a while, you will need to use your mobile phone."

Seeing him say this, I had no choice but to put away my phone first. I looked around with this light, but I didn't know if the cave was very high or if the light was not enough to reach the top of the cave, except for the smooth stone walls on both sides and the road less than a meter ahead. Xiao Ling took out a mountaineering pickaxe and moved forward cautiously, while I followed him, the silence in the cave was terrifying, only the footsteps of the two of us echoed up and down.

"This shouldn't be the entrance to the tomb yet." Xiao Ling whispered.

"And what about the real entrance to the tomb?"

"Underground." He stretched out his hand and pointed to his feet, and said, "First of all, my father and they have prepared a pickaxe, and the tomb doesn't need this kind of thing. Secondly, the entrance to the tomb will not be so shabby, even after all these years, you must not forget, this is a big tomb! A large tomb that can be built on the only dragon vein within a radius of hundreds of miles! ”

I think it makes sense, the owner of the tomb must have been a person of status before his death, otherwise such a good place would have been used by the emperor's own relatives a long time ago, right?

Maybe this is the emperor's relative?

Thinking about it, we walked about 400 meters, and the walls on both sides gradually widened, and we seemed to come to a very spacious hall. I glanced at Xiao Ling, and saw that his eyes narrowed slightly, and the pickaxe in his hand seemed to be held a little tighter. I pulled out my phone and shook it in front of him again, this time he nodded.

I turned on the flash, the surroundings became much brighter, only to see a very high stone wall standing in front of me, I looked up, the flash illumination distance was limited, only saw some small potholes fixed on the stone wall, very regular, it seems that Xiao Huang they went up from here.

I discussed it with Xiao Ling, I first used my mobile phone to shine it on him below, and then used the lighting flare to shine it on me after he went up, otherwise it was pitch black, and we didn't know how high the wall was.

After deciding, Xiao Ling pinned the mountaineering pickaxe to the waistband of his trousers, and the lighting flare was bitten on his mouth, reached out to pull the first small pothole, and climbed up with his arm as soon as he used force, successfully holding the second small pothole.

I smacked my tongue, this arm strength looks like a regular exercise, and then look at my two thin arms that are no different from sausages.... Alas, I knew that it would be better to exercise more ....

Xiao Ling didn't climb fast, but it was very steady, and it didn't take long for him to jump up, I could only vaguely see his figure, and after another minute, even the vague figure disappeared completely.

"Shen Huai! Climb the rope and come up! ”

Xiao Ling's shout suddenly came from above, echoing in this empty hole. I struggled to hand my phone up, and saw a rope thrown at a place more than half a person taller than me, and a red dot lit up on it.

Red dot.... How tall is this....

Swallowing my saliva, I tied the cable to my phone, then made a simple lanyard hanging, hung it around my neck, and climbed up with my hand.

The little potholes weren't far away, much easier than I had just thought, and I only had to climb up twice to grab the rope.

With the rope is much less effort, I just grabbed the rope like a monkey, and my feet kicked up and down on the stone wall, and it didn't take much effort to see the uncle's hand: "Uncle pull me!" ”

Xiao Ling grabbed my wrist and lifted me up with all her might.

The space above was a little more open, I could hear the echo several times when I walked, and the area that could be illuminated by the flashing lights and flares became a little smaller, and we were like a lone sail above the sea, moving forward cautiously little by little.

In the darkness, we couldn't tell the difference between east and west, so we relied on our general sense of direction to identify one place, and walked forward for half an hour, and finally there was something more around us - a black searchlight.

It was one of those mine searchlights, very large, with a black metal grip on it, and I went up and looked at it, and saw that the searchlight was covered with dust, and it didn't look like it had just been left here.

"This should have been left by some of the previous tomb robbers." Xiao Ling said in a low voice.

I nodded, too, but the previous group of tomb robbers were well-equipped enough to get this kind of searchlight! I just looked at the brand of the lamp, and the price is definitely not expensive!

"Then you have to go forward?" I asked.

"If you want to be like them, go ahead." The uncle stretched the flare in his hand forward, and saw that not far in front of the searchlight, there were two skeletons!

The bones were still covered with black clothes, judging from the shape of the bones, they should have been extremely scared before they died, and both of them curled up and leaned together.

"It should have been killed by a trap." He pointed to the nearest skeleton and said, "Look at those iron arrows. ”

When I saw it, there were a lot of strangely shaped iron arrows scattered in front of the first skeleton, and even the clothes worn by the skeleton were more or less torn, just enough to match the iron arrows.

I sighed: "It seems that these two people have stepped on thunder since they passed here, are there more traps ahead.....

"Remember the direction now, let's go the other way." The uncle looked left and right, and took the lead to the left.

This time, the road was not as smooth as before, and there were a lot of gravel on the ground, and it was quite awkward to step on it. When I asked him why he chose this side, he just said to me lightly, "Intuition." ”

"Look at the rubble on the ground, if you guess correctly, it should be the door that the tomb robbers blew up with explosives..."
