Chapter 212: Mirage

Wu Lin immediately turned sideways and drilled out through the crack in the door like a whirlwind.

Looking at his anxious look, I also knew that I would definitely have to race against time again, so I didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and chased after Wu Lin and got out.

As soon as we got out of the stone chamber, Wu Lin and I immediately got caught up in the heat of the tunnel.

The temperature doesn't just make us feel hot, but the pain that can only be felt when we are splashed with hot water or hot water directly comes from our skin.

Wu Linren shouted in pain: "It's only two minutes, let's go!" ”

With that, he spread his legs and ran forward as fast as he could.

I could only endure the pain that spread all over my body, and chased after Wu Lin with all my strength.

There was so much boiling water pouring into the tunnel just now, but none of the ear lamps on the walls were extinguished, and I could already see the exit of the tunnel when the lights flickered.

And from where I looked, there was a small black dot with a diameter of two or three millimeters.

In other words, Wu Lin and I are at least nearly a kilometer away from the exit, and to run such a long distance in two minutes is basically a rhythm to break the world record.

The indicators of my body are just close to the limits of the human body, and I have not yet become a superman, so it is impossible for me to break the world record at this moment.

But a few seconds later, there was the sound of rushing water and boiling water bubbling in front of me, and I suddenly realized what would happen in two minutes, and under the urging of my will to survive, the speed at which I stepped out of the soles of my feet suddenly increased a lot, and Wu Lin also threw off his arms, and rushed almost at a speed that I could not imagine.

In such short and medium distances, he was faster than me, and gradually, the distance between me and him became larger and larger.

1 meter, 2 meters, 4 meters, 6 meters...... I watched Wu Lin's back get farther and farther away from me, but I couldn't catch up with him even alive or dead.

I didn't even have the heart to calculate how much time had passed, I just knew that I was getting closer to the exit, and the sound of rushing water was getting closer and closer to us.

Ten meters from the exit, I could already see a large amount of water near the exit.

Wu Lin shouted: "Leave him alone, rush!" ”

Before the end of the word "rush" fell, his figure disappeared right next to the exit.

Seeing this scene, my heart suddenly chuckled, but the water was about to rush into the tunnel, and I didn't have time to think about it, I just rushed with my head bored.

By the time I reached the exit of the tunnel, the boiling water was already in front of my face.

Seriously, the first thought in my mind at that time was to withdraw quickly, as long as I could make it to the evacuation room, it shouldn't be over right away.

But the two minutes of running at a high speed that brought out all my potential almost exhausted my strength, and I turned around and ran back...... I'm afraid I won't be able to run back at all.

With no choice left, I tore my throat and roared, struggling to jump into the boiling tide.

A hundred degrees of water and steaming water vapor instantly enveloped me, and I subconsciously closed my eyelids before they poured into my eyes.

It was dark at first, then a yellowish light penetrated my eyelids, and even the sound of rushing water disappeared at this moment.

I lost my balance and quickly fell a short distance, then chest down, and fell to the ground, feeling something hard against my ribs, and I reached out to touch it and opened my eyes quickly.

When I opened my eyes, the surrounding mountains of gold emitted an incomparably brilliant light, which made me lose my mind for a moment.

Each of these gold mountains was three or four meters high, and all of them were piled up with handicrafts made of gold, and some gold objects were scattered on the ground, so that the ground also emitted a loose golden light.

In this large space, there is also a strange fragrance unique to the late Han Dynasty.

No one can estimate how much gold here weighs combined, and even if the historical value of the gold artifacts is not considered, the value of the gold alone is enough to buy a small country.

I just stood there in a daze, looking around for a long time before I came to my senses.

Ha-ha-ha-huh-huh-

After my brain cleared up a little, the first thing that came into my ears was Wu Lin's violent gasps.

I turned my head to look, and saw Wu Lin curled up and kneeling on the ground, his high-frequency wheezing made his back rise and fall wildly, looking at him like that, I was really afraid that he would accidentally vomit out his lungs.

Originally, I was going to go up to see how he was doing, but as soon as I took half a step towards him, he raised his hand and kept shaking it at me, meaning that he was fine.

After that, I planned to go to the front of Jinshan again to look at the gold artifacts from the Han and Wei dynasties, but Wu Lin grabbed my ankle and didn't let me go forward.

I looked at him suspiciously, but he just knelt on the ground and gasped for breath, not seeing my eyes.

In his current state, even if I asked him questions, he wouldn't be able to respond.

But even when he was panting like this, he grabbed my ankle and the hand refused to let go for a moment.

In desperation, I could only sit next to him, slowly adjusting my breathing, trying to recover from my injuries as soon as possible.

The skin burned by the heat wave and boiling water has begun to shed layer by layer at the moment, and the new skin then quickly takes root and sprouts, in fact, what I am most worried about now is my hair, although I am not going to be burned on the scalp, but if the hair roots are burned, it will definitely fall out in large quantities, and it will take a long time to grow new ones, after all, my self-healing ability does not work on the hair on my body.

I'm not going out of this place with a half-bald yin and yang head.

Wu Lin gasped wildly for a while, and lay on his back on the ground, his breath was still urgent and chaotic, but he could already speak: "If it weren't for the strong shouting when I was about to get out of the tunnel, I wouldn't be like this." ”

When he spoke, his tone was still cold, but there was no indifference in the words he spoke.

I smiled and nodded at him, "I guess we've broken the world record this time." ”

Wu Lin exhaled a big breath with his mouth and nostrils, and then closed his eyes.

This guy's stamina is really not very good, and I'm completely rested now, but he doesn't even want to keep his eyes open.

Of course, there is also a comparison between his poor endurance, and running a thousand meters at the speed just now is estimated to be wasted.

He rested for nearly twenty minutes before slowly sitting up, and I had been fiddling with my hair, and fortunately, although I had almost lost two layers of skin all over my body, the roots of my hair were not affected too much.

Wu Lin took out a flashlight from behind him and shot a beam of light forward.

In my imagination, after the flashlight beam was projected onto the gold mountain, it should make the surface of the gold object appear more dazzling luster, but I didn't expect that the beam of light actually penetrated the gold mountain and shone directly forward.

And after the golden mountain was penetrated by the beam, the outline also became a little weak, as if it might disappear at any time.

After a short while, Wu Lin turned off the flashlight and said to me, "It's all a mirage." The old scholar said that in this place, there is a mechanism under every mirage, and once you step on it, it will kill him. But at this point, we are not far from the cloud cone. ”

I looked ahead, the mountain of gold and the scattered gold artifacts almost covered the ground tightly, if these things were all mirages, then Wu Lin and I would step on the trap no matter which direction we went.

But it's also luck, in this huge space, there are bright gold everywhere, but this small piece of land under me and Wu Lin is clean.

I raised my chin towards the ground that was almost completely sunk in the golden light, and asked Wu Lin, "How to go?" ”

A helpless smile appeared on Wu Lin's cold face: "I can only wait for the mirage to disappear, I just tossed for so long, and I should rest and rest." ”

I let out a long breath: "When will they disappear?" ”

Wu Lin spread his hands at me: "Then I don't know, but it will disappear after all, otherwise how would the old scholar know that there is a mechanism under the mirage." ”

I propped my elbows on the ground, leaned on the ground and said what I had been wondering about: "Who is that old pedant you are talking about, and why does he know so much about the things in this space?" You think, if he were just an ordinary scientist, he wouldn't be able to survive in such an environment, let alone make every detail of this place so clear. ”

Wu Lin shook his head: "These things you said, to be honest, I haven't figured it out. But it doesn't matter, that guy has been dead for so many years, and what he experienced back then has long been buried in the ground with him, and it's useless to think about it so much. ”

As he spoke, I saw in my peripheral vision that a mountain of gold closest to us suddenly shook twice.

My heart tightened, and I immediately looked towards the mountain of gold.

At first, I only saw the golden light radiating from all directions, but soon, the image of the golden mountain suddenly began to flutter as if it had melted.

It is like the shadow of the moon cast on the water of a lake, someone casts a stone in the lake, and the surface of the water ripples, and the shadow of the moon turns into undulating scattered waves.

After a few more seconds, the different fluttering outlines of the gold mountain began to fade, and then the luster on the gold became lighter and lighter, and fading until it disappeared.

The mountain of gold has indeed disappeared, but two tall statues of horses' bellies have emerged in front of us, and behind these two statues of horses, there is a large square stone seat.

I couldn't help but frown. Isn't that what the stone platform looks like?

Wu Lin took out a flashlight again and shot a light at the horse's belly statue, and the light really passed through the horse's belly statue and shone farther away.

He put away the flashlight and smacked his tongue: "Sure enough, it's a mirage." ”

I turned my head to look at Wu Lin, and now I could see the blood on his skin, and I could see that his hair was black, and the ragged clothes on his body were yellow and green camouflage, and the gun on his waist was dyed a deep gray-brown.

Then I looked at the horse's belly in front of me, and the lower part of the horse's belly was covered with thick or thin moss, giving it a very dirty moldy green color.
