After some observation, I was disappointed, we are still in the depths of the underground palace, but there is no waterfall around, I saw a huge stone gate Hengchen there blocked most of the water flow, when we reached our side, the water was already very shallow, and we should be under the stone gate that let the water pass through the crack to dive over, looking at the stone gate I breathed a sigh of relief, the Titan python is huge, there must be no way to come over, and the horse-faced bird can't dive over, we should be safe for the time being, I see everyone is in the process of repairing, No one stopped me from looking around, thinking that they must have also checked for potential threats.

I think the problem we are facing now should be the way out, or the road ahead will be more appropriate, because I found that there is nothing behind this stone gate except this small space, by the way, there is a tunnel-like building in front of us, very much like the tunnel of the train route outside, which is also dug out of the mountain, and it is dark inside, and the shallow water is rushing away, and I don't know what is inside, I always feel as if there is a pair of cold eyes staring at us in the dark, just waiting for us to enter.

"Don't look at it, there is only one way in the depths of this underground palace, and if we want to go back to the underground palace, we can only go there." The fat man saw that I had been staring at the tunnel for some time, and spoke.

I was not convinced, so I tested the depth of the water with my feet, and found that the water only reached the thigh, and the weird suction was gone, so I went directly into the water and wanted to take a look at the other side.

Shallow water is colder than deep water, I feel cold into the bone marrow as soon as I put my foot down, I have been put to adapt to a few seconds before I put the other foot into the water, there are a lot of moss and aquatic plants and the like, stepping on it is very slippery, I have to walk very slowly step by step, the miner's lamp in my hand is shaking everywhere because of the cold body, fortunately, the distance between the two sides of the strait is not wide, and the visual inspection is about ten steps, I hold back the chill and think about gritting my teeth, I don't want to suddenly step on a hard object under my feet and the whole person falls into the water.

The fat man heard the movement and hurriedly ran over to see me, he grinned and said: "I told you that there is only one road in the tunnel, you are going to toss blindly, Chu boy, you have not had enough, come, the fat man pulled you up, rest and rest, don't toss." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out and was ready to pull me, but I was not pretentious, I reached out and grabbed him and pulled him hard: "Come down, you, let you tease me." ”

"Ouch!" The fat man didn't stand firm and was pulled directly into the water by me, he sat in the water and shivered, scolding: "You bastard, the fat man kindly said to pull you, you will take revenge, ah cut!" Ouch, the clothes that froze to death before they were dried. ”

He tossed in the water for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and he said that he had touched something, and I said that it was probably a stone in the water, and he had just mixed me with a kick, and the fat man liked to break and tear everything, so he grabbed that thing and said to see what the hell it was.

As soon as I saw what he had brought up, I screamed, and ran ashore in a few steps, and the fat man was stunned by me, and looked down at his hand, only to realize that it was a humanoid skeleton that was about to fall apart, and he was holding it in his hand.

He was caught off guard and was also taken aback, so he threw the skeleton ashore directly, and then quickly went ashore.

Tu Mu often walked up to me and looked at it and left, I have only seen this skeleton in my life except for the dried corpse, my curiosity is still greater, I asked the fat man: "How can there be this thing in this water?" ”

The fat man has eased up, he said disapprerovitously, what's strange about this, such a huge ancient tomb doesn't know how much manpower and material resources it will take, it is a huge project now, not to mention that two thousand years ago, there was no science and technology, it was normal to starve to death, exhaustion, fall to death and drown or something, and it was nothing to find a bone shelf.

As soon as I heard it, I thought it made sense, and I was a little interested in watching it, and the fat man asked me if I was going to check on the other side, and I shook my head after thinking for a while, there is really no need to toss around, they are too professional than me, what am I worried about? Thinking about it, I want to sit back and build a fire to warm up.

At this time, the fat man stopped me, I turned around and found that he was squatting next to the skeleton and staring into a daze, I knew that the fat man was actually very delicate when he looked at the thick branches and leaves, he should have found something, I walked back immediately, the fat man focused on the miner's lamp to the throat of the skeleton, he said: "Have you found it, there are two marks here on this skeleton?" ”

I squinted and looked, and sure enough, I saw a mark on the neck of the skeleton, and I said, "There are more than two, you look closely." I reached out and touched: "These should be two rows of tooth marks, but two fangs bite deeper." ”

I continued to shine down with a miner's lamp, and found that there were scratches in many places on the skeleton's body, which made me gasp, what a long and sharp claw it was, scratching the skin and flesh and scratching the bones like this!!

At first, I thought it was a beast, but I didn't know when he was standing behind us, and he said, "If nothing else, this man must have been killed by an extinct rodent creature." ”

"What, rats?" The fat man was startled, he said that rats can grow such sharp teeth and claws, is it mutated?

"In prehistoric times, there was a kind of horned gopher, like a cow, with a pair of horns, suckling, and later extinct and degenerated into an extremely vicious devouring rat, the size of a chicken was reduced to the size of a chicken, and a pair of horns degenerated into sharp fangs and claws, powerful and flexible, and liked to live in dark, damp and lifeless places, generally hiding under bridges or caves in the deep mountains like bats."

Me: "......"

I really haven't heard of this kind of rat when it's so big, but I have to believe it when I see what I often say, I subconsciously look at the tunnel, I don't know how long, but it just has all the conditions for the survival of rats.

"Are you sure?" Lu Ye's expression was solemn, now several of us in our group are greatly injured, and there is not much equipment that can be used to fight, if it is really said that there is this kind of murderous rat devouring in this tunnel, then we are really dangerous.

Lao Chang shook his head and said: "I can't be sure, just looking at the injury of this skeleton, it is very likely, because generally things bite people to death and suck blood and eat meat, but this rat eater will generally keep pestering the prey and tearing the prey apart because of its size, so that the prey will lose too much blood and lose the ability to resist, and finally enjoy it." Speaking of this, Lao Chang paused to look at us before continuing: "Moreover, these tooth prints and paw prints are basically consistent with the information I know. ”

I understand, Lao Chang is a very stable person, even if he is ten percent sure, he will generally only say eighty percent, now he says this is almost certain, I looked at the tunnel with some fear, no wonder I just had a feeling of horror, it turned out that it was very likely that this terrifying creature was inhabited inside.

The fat man's bullets were almost gone, he shrunk his neck, hurriedly walked over and pulled me up and said, "Chu boy, you accompany me to see if there are any other passages." ”

My face became ugly, in fact, I had already seen it when I was in the water, and the other side was even more desolate than ours, and the grass had not grown a single one, what kind of passage could there be?

Now that I think about it, almost every step we take has been calculated by the grave builders, and it is not up to us how to go or where to go.
