Chapter 129: Approaching
"What do you mean? Got put on the move? I wondered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lao Hai turned around and yelled at me: "Are you stupid, someone ran ahead of us!" ”
I replied unceremoniously: "I know this, I'm asking why I was put on the table?" ”
Xiaolu stared nervously at the entrance of the cave, and saw that there was no movement on it, so he explained to us: "We released the water in the stone python before, which must have caused a lot of movement, if it was Uncle Li who came here, he would definitely go into the tower to save us, and he was not equipped to open a hole at such a high place, so this must have been done by those people in the camp." ”
The fawn paused and continued: "It is likely that they have been lying in ambush outside the stone python before, and when we came in, they quietly followed behind, and when we entered the tower and activated the mechanism, they realized that the situation was wrong, so they withdrew, blew a hole in the top of the stone chamber, and ran to it. I think they must have been planning to follow us in the first place, scout us, and hunt us all out when they find the main burial chamber! ”
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it turned out that we had been exposed early in the morning, and we didn't know that we were being followed, and we ran into the tower stupidly, and these people took the lead.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, let's go up and have a look, in a few minutes, the baby will be touched by them!" Old Kaido.
The fawn took out a piece of rope from his bag, on which was tied an iron clasp, which he tied around his waist, and the buckle was tied to the thick rope hanging from the hole, and he climbed up with both feet, and in a few moments he was completely inside.
We waited for a long time before he removed the buckle and threw it off again, I followed his example and slowly climbed up, although I had similar climbing experience in the cave before, but now our physical exertion has been very large, so it is quite difficult to climb up.
It took me a lot of effort to hold on to the edge of the hole, take a few deep breaths, and then slam my head inside. The fawn dragged me up, and I glared at my feet before I climbed on top of it, lying on the ground, panting.
I threw the buckle to Lao Hai, and then leaned to the side to rest, now I know the gap between myself and them, don't look at the fawn is not very strong, but his physical strength and endurance are far above me, especially in the case of climbing and the like, he always has endless strength, just like a fully charged small motor.
After waiting for a few minutes, Lao Hai came out of the hole, I didn't pay much attention to it before, and then I found that his face was black, as if he had just come out of the mine, and there were some bruises at the corners of his eyes, looking very embarrassed.
The area here is much smaller than the stone chamber below, and the higher you go, the smaller it gets, and there are some holes in the surrounding stone walls, presumably for ventilation, and you can't see anything when you look out through those tiny holes. Above is a very high space, the hollow stone python can not see the top, in the surrounding stone wall embedded in some stone platforms, each stone platform placed on the snake body ghost stone statue, very similar to the one we see in the tower, only slightly different in expression and action details.
Lao Hai looked up at those ghost stone statues and shouted, "Uncle, these things shouldn't have any mechanisms!" ”
I also feel a little frightened, every time I see this kind of ghost stone statues, it must be no good, especially their expressions, which make people's hair stand on end unconsciously, if it weren't for the two of them by my side, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to move now.
Xiaolu waved his hand to Lao Hai and said: "There shouldn't be a mechanism, and there are no traces of a fight here, which means that those people didn't encounter any danger in the process of climbing up, otherwise at least they would have left hidden weapons or corpses." ”
I'm right to think about it, this place is so secretive, there is no need to set up any traps, those things in the tower are enough to kill people, and our escape from death depends largely on luck.
We simply straightened up, and then climbed up the stone platforms, the process was quite painful, to be honest, the height of the stone python is about 100 meters, just climbing a hundred meters of stairs will make people climb out of breath, let alone these steep stone platforms.
The first part of the height is very difficult to climb, because the distance between each other is very large, jumping from one stone platform to another is quite challenging, plus those ghost stone statues blocked, we climb very hard, fortunately, the higher we go, the narrower the space, the distance between the stone platforms is gradually shortened, and our climbing has become handy.
It took about an hour for us to climb to the top, and by this time we were all out of breath, and I sat on the stone platform holding the ghost stone statue, and the whole person seemed to collapse and almost fall. Going up is a short sloping stone staircase that extends behind a stone slab that is embedded in the wall and covers a large area, and I think there will be a lot of space on top of it.
We took a short rest, and then jumped to the stone steps, the distance between the two sides of the stone steps was very small, we could only pass slowly one side after the other, Lao Hai shrunk into a ball on it, and complained: "This big guy is really enough, even if it is a baby corpse, it will not make the passage so narrow, how can the craftsman who carries the coffin walk!" ”
When Xiaolu heard this, he said: "The coffin should have been put in from the top of the stone python, our current position is almost close to the snake's head, if it is not what I expected, it should be the real main burial chamber!" ”
As we spoke, we had come to the slate, and the fawn made a gesture for us to stop, and then leaned sideways and leaned over slowly, he was so cautious probably for fear of being discovered by the gang, after all, we were no match for them in a head-to-head confrontation.
"Hey, what do you see, speak!" Lao Hai lowered his voice and shouted behind him.
Xiaolu made a silent gesture, and then walked in by himself, I was wondering what he wanted to do, when I saw that Lao Hai had squeezed behind me, and followed straight up, I said in my heart why these two guys are so strange, suspicious. So I went up quietly.
Behind the stone slab is still a section of stone steps spiraling upward, different from before, this stone step is more smooth, but also more formal, we crept up, not long after, there was a tomb door in front of us, the same as seen in the front hall, it was held up with a stone ball, but this door has been opened, the door is hidden, and there are some stone chips scattered on the ground.
The fawn looked in through the crack in the door, and suddenly frowned, and then he stepped forward and slowly pushed the door open, and quickly got in, I looked at Lao Hai and walked in, and as soon as I entered it, I was startled by the scene in front of me:
I saw that this was a small burial chamber, very simple, with an ordinary coffin in the middle, the coffin lid had been opened, the ground was full of gravel and soil chips, and the whole burial chamber was in a mess, as if it had just been swept away!
