"We probably shouldn't have died!" I said excitedly: "The jade fetus has shown us a way to live!" ”

The prototype of this jade fetus is the fetus in the womb of the mother goddess who caress the knees, which is one of the treasures given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the King of Dian, and it is also a miraculous creation of nature. It had been shot to pieces by a black bull along with the Mother Mother Goddess of the Knees, but it had suddenly appeared intact in my pocket. I once thought it was the embodiment of the undead spirit of the fetus in the womb of a woman on the second floor, but now it seems that it does have spirituality, and it even shows us a way out in times of crisis.

"Where is the way to live?" The black bull hurriedly went to look at the jade fetus on the ground, and said in surprise: "My good boy, when did the sixth finger of the jade doll stretch out?" It is said that six-fingered people are psychic, and it seems that this jade doll is also psychic. ”

After that, everyone looked in the direction of the jade fetus finger and found the crack next to the pit.

The pothole was the copper case that squeezed away when the copper door was closed, and the copper case splashed on the roof of the corridor and smashed out. At that time, there was no crack next to it, and it is estimated that the agate stone in the mountain was scorched by the fire and cracked, and the crack appeared.

The wooden room and the floor in the fire chamber collapsed one after another, and the floor of the corridor in front of the doors of the two rooms continued to crack. The flames were like crimson snakes, burning on the agate stone floor. It seems that as Gu Yixin said, the agate ore in this mountain has been added with a combustible substance, which is why the spectacle of burning on the agate ground in front of you appears.

The fires at both ends of the corridor were approaching us, and the agate ground beneath our feet had produced many small cracks, which were growing larger under the continuous heat around us.

Gu Yixin looked at the crack, raised his hand to try it, and said: "There is an air current, this crack should lead to a relatively large space, but it is a little high from the ground, I'm afraid it's not good for us to go up." ”

"You go first." Gao Moli said, standing under the crack, ready to be a human ladder.

"Yes, little brother, give me a chance to be a martyr this time......" The black bull snorted twice in a row, and said: "No, it should be a chance to be a hero, let me cushion behind, you take the climbing rope to go up first, and finally pull me up." ”

Black Bull supported his knees with his hands, stood under the crack, and handed the climbing rope to Gao Moli. Gao Moli didn't refuse, jumped up, stepped on the shoulder of the black bull, and bounced hard, like an arrow feather off the string, jumped directly into the crack. Then he turned around in the air and kicked his feet on either side of the crevasse, hanging the rope down.

Gao Moli's series of movements were extremely neat, and the black bull who watched it was dumbfounded, and said: Damn, is the little brother a human being, wasn't he injured by the bronze armor living corpse? How did you recover so quickly? ”

I put Gu Yixin on the shoulder of the black bull and said, "Gao Moli is Gao Moli, how can a person with developed limbs like you understand." ”

"Damn, Lao Su, you're going around the corner and saying I'm simple-minded......" Before the black bull finished speaking, the place under his feet was overloaded, and a hole appeared, which frightened him and quickly moved to the side, urging: "Lao Su, go up quickly, don't fall down with me." ”

Cracks began to appear in the corridor under our feet, and when we looked down, the fire was burning under the transparent agate stone, and it seemed that the stone chamber on the second floor had already burned, and the entire ancient building would be engulfed by fire in a blink of an eye.

I knew that this was not the time to be humble, so I stepped on the black bull's leg and climbed on his shoulder, and grabbed Gao Moli's hanging rope and climbed up.

The agate stone floor of the corridor continued to collapse, and half of the black bull's leg sank into the burned crack, he quickly pulled it out, slapped the flames on his trouser legs, and jumped onto the railing of the corridor. However, countless tiny cracks appeared in the railing that had also been roasted by the fire, and now under gravity, it broke all at once, and fell towards the collapsing corridor with the black bull.

At the last moment, Gao Moli shouted: "Catch it." Immediately threw the other end of the climbing rope, and the live buckle at that end suddenly caught the wrist of the black bull, and the black bull pulled the climbing rope to avoid falling into the raging fire.

The black bull and I hung like two buckets on both ends of the climbing rope. Fortunately, Gao Moli's strength pulled us into the cracks one after another.

I had just stood firm against the rock wall when there was a loud bang under my feet, and the entire third floor fell into an endless sea of fire at once.

"Little brother, thank you for saving your life!" The black bull said with palpitations.

Gao Moli ignored it, put away the climbing rope and climbed above the crack.

This crack is purely caused by external forces, so it shows a steep vertical trend, and the walls of the cave are somewhat smooth, so we climbed very carefully.

After climbing more than 20 meters, a mine suddenly appeared at the end of the crack, the slope of this mine was suspended, the height was less than two meters, and there were traces of artificial excavation.

Although the cave is not very spacious, it is a great place to rest for those who are tired of running for our lives.

I beckoned everyone to rest in place, and Gu Yixin shone a spotlight on the mine and said, "It seems that we have escaped from that terrible ancient building." ”

The black bull took out the jade fetus from my satchel with both hands, put it in a relatively flat place, folded his hands, bowed to the jade fetus very respectfully, and said: "Thank you for the grace of the jade doll's guidance, Uncle Niu, I will definitely give you a gold body to show my gratitude!" ”

I laughed out loud and said, "This jade fetus is originally transformed by a thousand years of chalcedony, which is much more noble than your golden body. ”

"Yes, then it will not be gilded, and incense will be offered every day. Good doll, you go to your Uncle Su first, if it weren't for Uncle Niu, I would often charge and fight on the front line, I'm afraid that I will bump you, I really want to carry you in my pocket. The black bull said this, and put the jade fetus back in my satchel.

Gao Moli still sat aside, silent.

I looked at the mine in front of me and said, "It doesn't look like it was dug for ore, and I don't know where it leads." ”

"If it's not for the sake of mining, what are they doing digging a hole in the mountain when they have nothing to do?" Black Bull asked puzzled.

If it were a regular mine, it would have been at least spacious enough to transport the deposits, and there should even be reinforcement measures, but at the moment the mine seemed to be hasty, and judging from the excavation marks on the cave wall, it was also messy and hasty.

Could it be that the workers who built the underground palace reserved an escape path for themselves?

In ancient times, the workers who built the underground palace mausoleum were locked in the tomb after completion, and became the burial goods of the tomb owner. will secretly reserve an escape tunnel when building the dungeon.

If that were the case, the cave would at least lead to the outside world, or to an important burial chamber.
