Chapter 18: Cave Robbery
The thief cave was only about a meter high, but with Zuo Qingcang's current skills, it was nothing, relying on his excellent flexibility and muscle strength, he cautiously advanced in the thief hole.
At the beginning of the cave robbery, the first ten meters were still a horizontal route, but after more than ten meters, it became a thief cave and became an oblique upward route. This is consistent with Zuo Qingcang's previous judgment that it will go straight down, then extend horizontally, and make holes to the corners of the tomb.
But what he didn't expect was that the second robbery hole turned out to be diagonally upward, so the first robbery hole where rats and corpses appeared went deep into the ancient tomb?
Next, Zuo Qingcang went deeper into a section of the cave, revealing the special feature of this robbery cave, which is not a straight robbery cave, but a structure that surrounds and goes back and forth like a winding mountain road. Theoretically, although this structure takes more effort, it is safer and less prone to accidents such as landslides.
Along the way, the light of the night pearl of Zuoqing Cangtong guò also showed many traces of manual excavation and construction.
These people seem to be very professional, but I don't know if the exit they dug out was occupied by those monsters outside. ’
Just when Zuo Qingcang was thinking this, after a corner, the end of the thief cave appeared in front of his eyes.
It's not a wall, it's not a landslide, it's just an ordinary rock wall, as if the diggers of the cave have only dug here. Touching the thick rock and soil in front of him, Zuo Qingcang knocked hard a few times, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
'Behind is a solid ......' and then the faint light of the Night Pearl, Zuo Qingcang checked every inch of dirt around him: 'There is no trace of artificial blockade or burial, and there is no sign of natural landslide......
The clues of one qiē and one qiē are so simple and clear, and it is clear that the people who dug the passage stopped for some reason after digging here, and then evacuated.
But such a straightforward sign itself reveals the greatest weirdness. Because if this robber hole was dug from the inside out, then how did the group of grave robbers get in? Since they stopped halfway through digging, how did they get out?
'Could it be that both thieves lead to the outside?' Zuo Qingcang thought for a moment: "They dug one in, and then dug one out?" ’
But if that's the case, then it doesn't make sense again. For example, why didn't they continue digging the passage to the underground level of the tomb after they came in, and why did they dig out when they did, and why did they stop?
Things are getting weirder and weirder, as if in the darkness that is difficult to envelop the night pearls around him, there is a pair of unfathomable eyes that are enveloping Zuo Qingcang, making him feel dangerous.
But now that he's deep into the Jedi, he's going to break through no matter how dangerous it is.
Next, Zuo Qingcang returned to the burial room first, and explained to the old man the situation in the cave. Then he spent another hour or so, using the dim light of the Night Pearl, to check every inch of the second thief cave, but there was still no notice.
The old man's face was also puzzled: "How can this be?" If the No. 1 thief hole leads to the inside of the ancient tomb, then the No. 2 thief hole is dug out from the inside. It's impossible to think about it. ”
"It really can't be." Zuo Qingcang muttered.
"That means that Cave No. 1 also leads to the outside? These bastards dug a hole to come in and then plan to dig a hole to get out? What do they think? ”
The old man guessed: "Could it be that the hole they dug in the first place was invaded by some monster." They were going to dig a hole to get out, but halfway through the digging, the monster was gone? ”
"It's not impossible." Feeling that the body was almost the same, Zuo Qingcang stood up and walked towards the No. 1 thief hole: "But what is the matter, we still have to see it to know." ”
A few months ago, the stone statue in front of him needed Zuo Qingcang and the old man to push it slowly. But at this time, Zuo Qingcang just gently pushed his palm, as if he had pushed a chair, and pushed the stone statue on the No. 1 thief cave with him at will.
Opening the seal of the No. 1 thief cave again, looking at the dark and gloomy hole in front of him, the old man's face showed a nervous look.
Zuo Qingcang looked calm: "It's still the old rule, if something goes wrong, I'll pull the rope, you wait here for a while." ”
In the worried eyes of the old man, Zuo Qingcang slowly burrowed into the thief hole, and his whole body gradually disappeared into darkness, and he could only see a little fluorescence of the Night Pearl flashing in the darkness, but soon, even the fluorescence scattered by the Night Pearl was also engulfed by the darkness.
Under the illumination of the luminous night pearl, the entire burial chamber gives people a sense of confusion. And because of Zuo Qingcang's departure, the air was restored to the tranquility of the past, and no sound could be heard, as if it had been more than two thousand years in the past.
Staying alone in such a dim and silent ancient tomb, ordinary people are already frightened. But although the old man's face was a little nervous, he didn't see the slightest hint of fear, perhaps because he was used to staying alone in the ancient tomb.
The days when there was no daylight, no one to communicate, eating dead bodies, sleeping in tombs. Thinking of his life over the years, a trace of gloom appeared on the old man's face.
This time, be sure to get out. ’
At this moment, there was a strong force from the rope on his arm, as if a cow was pulling him on the other side of the rope.
The old man's face changed, and he immediately held the rope with both hands, but the power on the other end of the rope was too great, even if the old man tried his best, and even his face turned red, his body was still pulled inch by inch in the direction of the thief hole.
Sensing that Zuo Qingcang at the other end of the rope would soon drag himself into the thief hole, a look of hesitation appeared on the old man's face.
'What's going on?' There is no signal such as jitter, he pulls like this, and the stone statue pulls me down? ’
But it would be nice to come up and say no...... Or did something catch him? ’
Just when the old man hesitated, thinking about whether he should let go of the rope, the rope in his hand suddenly loosened, and the old man, who was still pulling with all his strength, immediately fell backwards with a bang.
He was startled, and immediately got up and kept pulling the rope, but the more he pulled, the more wrong the expression on his face became. That's because of the feeling of emptiness coming from the ropes.
When the rope was pulled to his head, Zuo Qingcang did not appear. The old man looked at the rope in his hand, which was obviously cut by the dagger, and his face was cloudy.
