Sure enough, after swimming for two more minutes, they passed through two large tubular passages and saw the floating passages. Although it is said that the water is out of the water, the place where the water comes out is no longer the place where it came. Judging from the details such as the steps and the cave walls, it looks similar, but the space here is slightly wider. After walking up the stairs to the top, several of them were pleasantly surprised to find that in this not too big cave, there was a stone door with several pairs of stone statues placed on both sides of the door.

Situ Fang roughly calculated the area of this place, and after looking around the cave, the top of his head, the surroundings and his feet, he took out his walkie-talkie and tried to call Professor Chen: "Professor, professor, please answer when you hear it." ”

Soon, Professor Chen's anxious voice was clearly heard from the intercom: "Hear, where are you now?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"I'm not sure what this place is now, but there are a few stone statues and a stone door."

"What does the door look like? What does a stone statue look like? ”

"The door is opposite, about the same size as the tomb gate outside, and the stone statues are several animals, all of which are nearly two meters high."

"Is there a pattern on the door?"

"Nothing, bare."

"Don't act rashly, how much space is there over there now?"

"It's two-thirds smaller than the one you're in now, and the air is better than there, so it looks like there's somewhere to get outside."

"How did you get there?"

"After getting lost underwater, follow the bigger hole, and here you go."

"How long has it been underwater?"

"After figuring out the idea, it will take about seven or eight minutes to pass through the larger hole."

"You guys wait there, we'll be over as soon as we work out the plan."

Professor Chen put down the walkie-talkie and said to Zheng, "Maybe they stumbled to the place leading to the tomb." ”

"Just a few stone statues?"

"It's just a possibility, the statues are usually placed outside the mausoleum and in the place leading to the burial chamber, and they are not placed anywhere else."

"Yes, it is indeed common to erect stone tablets and stone statues in front of the mausoleum, including in the underworld, the shadow of stone statues also often appears, and for us, the appearance of stone statues means that they are close to the tomb."

"So let's try it now and see if we can find them and join them?"

"Try it."

"Alright, let's start preparing now."

After speaking, Professor Chen called Shao Bin over, and after discussing the plan with him, the team members brought all the equipment over. In order to learn more about the caves, Professor Chen also asked Ma Kai to bring 3D imagers, snake cameras, field strength meters and other equipment.

Through the detection of the field strength instrument, the signal of the walkie-talkie on Situ Fang's side is very strong, which means that their distance is not too far, after all, the refraction and attenuation of the signal by the cave wall is very great. Professor Chen asked Ma Kai to take the walkie-talkie from the first hole to the bottom, and after comparing and testing this signal, he found that this signal was not as strong as the one sent by Situ Fang, so he judged that Situ Fang and him may be on the same plane, and they may only be separated by a wall. With this in mind, Professor Chen tried to tap the lower mountain in the direction of the stronger signal, and soon received the same response, which proved that Professor Chen's judgment was accurate once again, and the distance between them and Situ Fang was only a wall.

Seeing that Shao Bin had prepared several slender ropes of different colors, Professor Chen asked puzzledly, "What is this for?" ”

"Since the water is so complicated, in the case that it is easy to get lost, we will put the rope in from entering the water, which can effectively prevent us from going around in circles, and it can also facilitate us to enter and exit quickly."

"Do you have oxygen cylinders for them?"

"Ready, let's go down for three people first, and the others stay here."

"Bring more flashlights."

"It's okay, it's definitely enough in 12 hours."

After Shao Bin and Situ Fang learned more about the underwater situation, they checked Professor Chen's equipment, then tied one end of the rope to his waist, and took the lead to dive into the water.

After seeing the mark made by Situ Fang, Shao Bin began to devote himself to searching for the larger hole, and after a few minutes, they successfully rendezvous.

After unloading the equipment, Professor Chen took a closer look at several stone statues and said to Zheng Suo: "These stone statues can't see anything from the carving techniques, and from the morphology, they are not much different from the legendary age, but it is a bit strange here." ”

"What's so strange?"

"The stone statue is a symbol of power, so why is the tomb door so simple? This is unreasonable. ”

"This is not necessarily, as far as the tomb gate is concerned, there are many such monotonous."

"Anyway, there's a hairpin outside, but now it's empty inside, don't you think it's weird?"

"Okay, let's not make such speculations here, and we'll find out the truth when we go in and see."

The door didn't seem to be anything special, but with a slight push it opened, and it was pitch black inside, and a straight stone path led diagonally to the front, and something seemed to stand in the middle of it.

After Zhang Gong stepped into the door lightly, he carefully inspected the stone door. This stone door is thick on the inside and thin on the outside, and the part near the door shaft is thick, and it is this structure that can ensure that the door shaft will not break, and such a structure can also ensure that the stone door can be easily pushed open. After seeing that there was no problem with Shimen, Zhang Gong walked to the front of the team, carefully observed the surroundings, and slowly advanced with a few people.

After walking about 20 meters, as Zhang Gong's feet collapsed slightly, there was a "click" sound from under his feet, and at the same time, there was a "boom" and "boom" sound in front of him, and in the sound, a big black shadow slowly rushed towards them.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Zhang Gong shouted: "Run back!" ”

After saying that, Zhang Gong turned around and pushed them and ran back frantically. Situ Fang and a few of them saw that the movement was not right in the back, they had been professionally trained, and they ran out of the tomb after turning around a few steps, and Professor Chen's speed compared with them, it seemed much slower, as the sound got closer and closer, their nervous heartbeat accelerated, and their foreheads were sweaty, and after a while, it was estimated that their tired legs would be weak and unable to run.

Seeing that there were less than 5 meters to come out, the black shadow behind him was rolling faster and faster, and it was closer to them, only about 2 meters.

At this critical juncture, Situ Fang and Shao Bin turned around and rushed into the tomb, one of them grabbed one and dragged them out, leaving Zhang Gong at the end.

Seeing that there was less than a meter left, when the black shadow that followed Zhang Gong was about to touch Zhang Gong's body, he saw him jump out with all his might, and the person came out, and the moment his feet just landed, he was pulled aside by Situ Fang on the side and fell to the ground heavily. Just as he was pulled away, the black shadow passed by him, rolled forward quickly, and slammed into the wall of the cave with great force, and the cave was instantly silent.

Situ Fang stepped forward to take a look, and it turned out that the black guy who had made them nervous just now was a round stone, which was shattered by the impact of the huge inertia at this moment.
