Chapter 81: The Elder Kid Is Taken Prisoner
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed; We were a little disappointed to stand at the third marking point that had been selected long ago, and there was nothing to be gained in the two holes dug in front of us seven or eight meters deep, and we could only pin our only hope on the last two coordinates!
There are not too many words, and it is still the same as before; Hu Qi and I took turns to work as free laborers, and from there, we dug down...... Strangely, I felt that the subsoil here was very soft compared to the previous two places, and under the strong light of the flashlight, I could clearly see that the soil under my feet showed a distinct color as I dug up!
"Linzi, look! Is this it? ā
The unexpected discovery made me can't help but take out a handful of soil from under the sapper shovel, and then I handed the slightly damp soil in my hand to the forest to investigate; Blind excavation has consumed our physical and mental experience to a certain limit; So, the more we see something promising, the greater our own reaction.

Lin Zi shone in the soil with the bright flashlight in his hand, and then unconsciously pinched a small handful with his thumb and forefinger and put it on the tip of his tongue; This kind of scene reminds me of the drug dealers in the documentaries on TV.
"Dada......"
Just when Hu Qi and I were looking at the forest with hope to verify the authenticity of the soil, a series of unique loud noises unique to the micro-rush suddenly resounded through the mountains and forests, and the loud noise gave us a signal that a crisis was coming! Almost without thinking, after the gunshot, I had jumped into the pit in one stride; At the same time, Hu Qi and Lin Zi already had a tacit understanding and each stretched out a hand to pull me out. At this time, we no longer have time to study whether the location of the tomb is here, but we are rushing to the top of the mountain, where we are stationed!
With Hu Laoqi's experience in the rivers and lakes, if he doesn't encounter something that he can't predict or solve, he won't shoot casually; Then, Hu Laoqi must have encountered something that he couldn't deal with at this time. It could be a ghost, it could be a beast in the mountains, or something else!
The thought of the ghostly things I saw last night made my heart flutter; If Hu Laoqi had also encountered those things, would he have already become a dried corpse that had been drained of yang energy by this time? Or has he become another "Hu Laoqi"?
What was originally only a few minutes away now seems to be incomparably long, and Hu Qi has already played his own potential as a former special soldier, leaving us far behind and running at the front; And Lin Zi and I can only try our best to follow it forward, in this unknown territory, we can only go further by trusting each other and helping each other, and then we can live longer!
When I ran with the woods to the top of the hill to where we were stationed, it was empty; The tent is still there, and there is nothing missing from the things we brought, only Hu Laoqi is missing, and Hu Qi, who came before us!
After searching around, we didn't find anything, and we didn't see the shadow of Hu Qi; It was as if it had never happened, leaving me and Lin Zi a little baffled. For the sake of today's plan, there is no other way, so I have to signal the anxious Lin Zi to sit down first, and then wait for Hu Qi to return here.
Lin Zi listened to my words and sat down stupidly! According to what I know about Hu Qi, he must have discovered some urgent situation before he chased him away before he had time to inform us. So all we can do at the moment is wait, and the aimless search will only bring more trouble to ourselves and cause more consumption to us!
In order to avoid leaking my position, Lin Zi and I turned off the strong flashlight in our hands; At this time, I realized that a full moon had risen in the dark night sky, which was particularly chilling in such a cold and gloomy scene!
The anxious wait always seemed so long, and I don't know how long it took, Lin Zi and I finally saw Hu Qi come back with a gloomy face. It's just that he was the only one who came back, and he didn't bring Hu Laoqi back!
And according to Hu Qi, when he returned here one step ahead of us, Hu Laoqi had already been taken away! What I particularly noticed was that he said that it was "people" who took Hu Laoqi away, not anything else. Although Hu Qi's physical fitness is very good, he still couldn't catch up with the footsteps of the group that took Hu Laoqi away, and the group took Hu Laoqi to the woods behind the mountain and disappeared again.
We didn't expect this to happen before, because in our previous thoughts, there was only one way to enter and exit Jiangjun Mountain; And we didn't meet anyone else when we came in, so we thought that there were only a few of us in this empty mountain, so we didn't take any precautions against these unexpected situations, which led to the sudden attack on the base camp!
It was already unfavorable because of the death of the fourth body, and now that Hu Laoqi was taken away, under the successive declines, the three of us were extremely annoyed at this time! Even the forest, which has always been full of nonsense, is now much quieter.
But what is the origin of this group of people, are they bandits who occupy the mountains as kings? I thought of this possibility, but there didn't seem to be anything worth plundering here, and there was no shortage of equipment and supplies we had brought with us before we came. Or are they the indigenous people who have lived here in the first place, warning of our inadvertent incursions? It's just that this idea was also rejected by me in the next moment, because we have found no trace of human life here, nor have we found a place similar to human life, so it is even more unlikely that anyone will live here! Unless they live underground......
"Isn't it a peer?"
As soon as I thought of this, Lin Zi had already spoken his cognition one step ahead of me. Peer! Survive with the underground, except for the beasts, only peers.
Tomb robbery, since ancient times, the road is narrow, and when you meet it, you will naturally not let it go; In this place, there is nothing but a bare mountain, so there is naturally only one reason that prompts people to come here, and that is the rich treasure buried deep underground by the three emperors and five emperors thousands of years ago!
And the real reason why they took Hu Laoqi away can only be to distract us, let us go to the tomb unintentionally, and then we took the first step to loot the treasures in the tomb, and when we came back to our senses, it was naturally too late!
