"Fengyou Ancient Mansion Chapter 37 Race against Time"

In this way, the two groups became a pair and continued to move forward. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I also asked about the corpse found in the stone path before. The leading platoon commander told us that they had been attacked by a large number of corpse rats before entering the stone path, and that the man we saw had not exited in time when he was broken, and when they found him, he was already badly wounded, dying, and died not long after.

The tomb leads straight ahead, and the sides of the road are also very spacious. We walked along the stone wall on the left, and Professor Zhang crouched on one side of the wall, and then reached out and hammered it a few times, and the stone wall was a little empty, even though there were two 'bang, bang' sounds. That is to say, the thickness of this stone wall is not too thick, and there is a complete vacuum inside.

Our group went around the stone wall, and at the corner we found a stone staircase leading to the top, this stone staircase was very long, and there was no end in sight below, but on the front of the stone staircase, there were many carvings, most of them evil things such as demons and monsters.

After the professor found out about this, he hurriedly asked his students to take pictures and collect them, I don't know about this archaeological thing, and I don't think these things are of any value.

It was Xiao Chi who was in charge of taking pictures, because it was dark all around, so his camera was also turned on with the flash. That Xiao Chi saw me and the fat man staying where they were, and asked, "Professor Wei, don't you collect?" ”

The fat man was a little unimpressed, and then snorted: "What's so nice about this, it's not something of value." ”

That Xiao Chi seemed to be a little unable to understand the fat man's words, and then said, "How is this worthless? These are precious historical relics! ”

I pulled the fat man, and then whispered: "These people have been nerds since they were children, what can you say when you talk to him about things?" ”

The fat man thought for a while, and then he didn't squeak, walked to the side and began to smoke, I saw that the division of labor of those people was very clear, those People's Liberation Army scattered around with guns and guards, and those people from the archaeological team were the photos that should be taken, the records that should be recorded, and they were busy with their work.

I saw that since we were mixed in in the name of archaeology, it was a little unreasonable to do nothing, so I asked Da Zhuang to help them. And I myself smoke with fat people.

When I was younger, my academic performance was not very good, I simply didn't know anything about studying and other things, and my grades never left the bottom five in the class. After the college entrance examination, it was only by virtue of the relationship in the family that I reluctantly got into a famous university, and with these people, I was simply a scumbag, and the major I chose was forced to choose after being forced at home.

I tilted my head to look in their direction, and what they said sounded like a book from heaven to me, as if they were talking about archaeological jargon, and sometimes they would come up to me and ask me questions. In their opinion, if I can become a professor at the age of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, I naturally have a lot of ink in my belly. But to be honest, I really only know a little about these things, and I am also perfunctory about their problems, just saying my own opinions, and not giving anything constructive.

After the fat man finished smoking a cigarette, he saw that they were still not finished, so he muttered in a low voice: "Damn, what is there to study on this broken stone step, they are still like a treasure." ”

I said, "The minds of archaeologists are more or less different from normal people, something that seems to us to be scrap metal. For them, it is a priceless treasure. As the saying goes, the Tao is not the same. ”

Just as we were discussing, Professor Zhang seemed to have found something, and then squatted on the stone steps of the second positive road, and then hurriedly beckoned me to take a look.

When I got there, I realized that there seemed to be a monster carved into the top of the stone steps, with a hideous face, and two teeth that were unusually large, almost touching the ground in such proportions. Behind the monster, a long tail was dragged to the ground at random, and its eyes were staring straight ahead, not knowing what it was looking at.

The monster seemed to look a little familiar, just like the corpse rats we encountered not long ago, but the ones painted on it were several times larger than what we had seen.

The professor used a brush to remove all the dust from it, and then muttered, "What do you mean by this corpse rat?" ”

I said that this can't be the ancestor of the corpse rat in this ancient tomb, the size is so large, if you get bitten, it is basically impossible to survive.

But what I didn't expect was that one of my jokes made Professor Zhang serious, and then said: "Professor Wei, your analysis just now is not unreasonable, everything has a source, and it is very likely that this is the ancestor of these corpse rats at the time of the ancient tomb." ”

I stuck out my tongue, but I didn't know what the corpse rat carved on the stone steps meant. But looking at it this way, maybe the people who built this ancient tomb should have a soft spot for corpse rats.

At this time, Xiao Liu, who was in charge of the collection, also came over, saying that he wanted to observe the stone steps above. The professor was studying the stone painting at this time, and he nodded his head and let him go up. Xiao Liu stepped on the stone steps, and then squatted on them to clean the dust with a brush.

Suddenly, from somewhere, there was a sound like thunder, which startled everyone around. The team members in charge of the guard hurriedly gathered, and Platoon Commander Li divided the team into three teams and began to guard the surroundings.

Xiao Liu above also heard this voice, and then turned around and wanted to come down. But when he just lifted his foot, the sound of thunder sounded again, and then the stone steps in front of us began to shake violently, and Xiao Liu on top was shaken at once, and then he squatted in the distance and did not dare to move.

Seeing that his students were in danger, Professor Zhang was also emotionally excited, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, hurry down!" ”

I looked at Xiao Liu above, he was already frightened and collapsed at this time, but he stayed in place in a daze, completely incapacitated. But in the current situation, I don't dare to move easily. His eyes swept wildly to see if there was anything around that could help. I happened to see the corpse mouse stone painting that I had observed before, and when I looked at it again, I found that the image on it had disappeared strangely!

I hurriedly said to Professor Zhang, and he also saw it, his expression became very shocked, and his mouth opened wide to look incredible.

I stared at the stone steps closely, the vibration and the sound were not accidental, they must have gone and touched the mechanism while observing.

I cursed in my heart damn it, thinking that these archaeological intellectuals are really troublesome, born with elm heads, and they will go up and touch anything when they see it.

Just when I was annoyed in my heart, the vibration around me intensified a lot, and there were a few slight cracks in the stone steps, which spread upwards little by little, and I was about to reach Xiao Liu's position.

Platoon Commander Li on the side saw that things were not good, and he was about to rush forward. His mission is to protect the lives of the members of the archaeological team and to assist them in the exploration of the conservation of ancient tombs. So he couldn't just watch them happen. I grabbed him and called out, "What are you doing, this stone staircase is about to collapse, what's the use of you going up?" ”

Platoon Commander Li broke free of me, and then said, "My task is to protect them, and even if I die, I must ensure their safety." ”

After saying that, he rushed forward with an arrow step. The crack on the stone steps is already very big, and now that the Li platoon leader has gone up, the weight of a person has increased on the stone steps, and the crack is spreading faster and faster, almost with the speed of the Li platoon leader there, he has reached the top in a blink of an eye.

And when the platoon commander Li arrived at Xiao Liu's position, the stone steps below finally couldn't bear it and began to collapse violently. I hurriedly beckoned the fat man to protect the people below, and the stone steps smashed into a deep pit when they fell to the ground, followed by a puff of smoke.

Because the smoke obscured our vision, I didn't know what the situation was like above, but judging by the extent of the damage to the stone steps, the two of them were probably more than lucky on it.

Before the smoke cleared completely, I hurriedly rushed down, and then turned on the flashlight to see the situation above, and then I found two black shadows in mid-air. I yelled at the top, "You two, is there anything wrong!" ”

I shouted several times, but there was no answer from above, and I chuckled in my heart, thinking that something must have happened. Unexpectedly, after being silent for a while, a voice suddenly came from above: "Professor Wei, we're fine!" ”

I turned on my flashlight and looked at the two dark shadows, and it was only after the smoke had cleared that I could finally see what was going on with them. The damage to the stone steps was so severe that the world below had collapsed, and the cracks had not continued when they had spread to where they were, and they had not been affected.

After the professor saw that they were fine, he also let out a long sigh of relief. Professor Zhang is too old to withstand this kind of toss. It's just that although people are okay now, it has become a problem for them to want to come down. This stone staircase was damaged for nearly ten meters, and it was about three stories high, and if ordinary people wanted to jump from such a height, they would definitely be injured. Platoon Commander Li was a soldier in the army, so he naturally had nothing to say, but Xiao Liu couldn't, and after the fright just now, he was already in a coma. If you take him down, no matter how athletic you are, there will be a little danger.

I've called everyone over, and now that the stone steps are damaged, it's basically impossible for them to come down, and we're going to keep going, so let's go up.

Professor Zhang nodded and said that he had no opinion, he was the leader among these people, as long as he nodded, he represented everyone's opinion. I asked Da Zhuang to pull out a rope and let him throw it. As long as all the people in this place have the most strength, it is not difficult to throw a rope up. When the rope was thrown up, I asked Platoon Leader Li to find a place to fix a section of the rope, and we went up with the help of the rope.

The physical fitness of those soldiers is excellent, and climbing is simply a piece of cake, but Professor Zhang is already close to the age of sixties, and his physical strength is naturally not comparable to that of us young people.

The climb went smoothly, and after more than ten minutes everyone came up. I'll leave that rope at a distance, so that it will be easier for me to retreat. Suddenly, the stone behind me began to slide, and since I was the last to come up, I was standing on the edge of the broken staircase. As soon as the stone fell, the stone steps under my feet collapsed. The rift, which had been stagnant, began to spread upwards again.

I hurried to let them run, the ground below was solid mountain, and we were at such a high distance that if we fell, we would definitely die. The gap behind me suddenly collapsed just as I left, and it followed closely behind my feet. It almost collapsed with our speed.

The fat man shouted in front of me, "Damn, I'm going to die!" ”

I watched this fat man flee for his life and didn't forget to be cheap, so I punched him hard to make him run quickly, and shouted: "Damn, how many times have you told you to eat less and lose more weight." Lao Tzu is glorious here, then this is what you are harming! ”

After almost dozens of seconds of running, we finally saw the exit of the stone steps above. By the time I saw it, I was exhausted, and my legs felt like they had been filled with lead, but now it was the worst time, and I had to persevere no matter how tired I was. It's a race against time, and if I lose, I'm going to be crushed, and I don't have the courage to gamble my life with my capital. The people in front had already run to safety. And almost the second moment I ran out, the last stone staircase behind me suddenly cracked, and then fell down, and it was not until seconds later that I heard the sound of the stone falling.
