The water level in the pool is rapidly decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and if it continues like this, it will not be long before it dries up completely, and we have no clue why this is happening or when. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Biaozi looked at the pile of stone ruins on the platform, and then at the pool at his feet, and seemed to see something strange, and said to us suddenly: "Did you say that I blew up the sarcophagus and inadvertently activated another mechanism?" ”

I thought for a moment and said: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don't rule out another possibility, maybe it has nothing to do with blowing up the sarcophagus, or when the sarcophagus sinks, this drainage mechanism will automatically activate, which is a chain mechanism." ”

Everyone nodded, and Tan Jia said worriedly: "The tomb owner must have a good intention to install this kind of chain mechanism, I am worried that after all the water in the pool disappears, something bad will happen, so we should be more careful." ”

Tan Jia's guess was inevitable, and we didn't dare to be careless, so we took a few steps back, and looked at the bottom of the pool vigilantly, but I immediately thought of another question, and couldn't help but panic and said to everyone: "Be careful, haven't you noticed that after the pool water dries, we can't get over at all?" ”

Only then did everyone react, and Sankra said with some annoyance: "That's right! How did we not think of this? This King of Dian is too cunning, he actually used the easiest way to trap us all here, this is fucking stronger than any hidden weapon. ”

Biaozi looked at the opposite side, and said sluggishly: "The opposite side is bare, and there is not even a focus point, even if there are probe claws and ropes in hand, it will not come in handy, and now we are in big trouble." ”

"Even if you can get through now, you're not still trapped in this ancient tomb, is it any difference?" Seeing that I looked discouraged, the third uncle patted me on the shoulder and comforted: "You kid don't have to worry about the sky, as long as my people come down, everything is no longer a problem." ”

What the third uncle said is not unreasonable, thinking about it like this, I feel a lot better, anyway, no one comes down to rescue, and wherever I am trapped, I am sleepy, and there is not necessarily a good or bad difference.

At this time, there was a burst of "Hehe! This indicates that the water in the pool is almost empty. When the last bit of water was gone, we saw a bucket-thick drain at the bottom of the pool, which was pitch black and looked deep, and we didn't know if there was a channel underneath.

Tom seemed to have found something at the bottom of the pool, and said to the third uncle in surprise: "Third uncle, look! There's a copper chest down there! ”

After the standard exploded the coffin, whether it was the fragments of the sarcophagus, or the broken stone of the nine stone dragons, and the burial goods in the sarcophagus, many of them fell into the pool, and now the pool has dried up, and all those things have appeared, and the copper box that Tom is referring to is estimated to be one of the burial goods in the sarcophagus, it lies quietly in the middle of a few pieces of rubble, about a little bigger than a brick.

When the third uncle saw the bronze box, his spirit immediately became vibrant, and he said excitedly: "Maybe what we are looking for is in the bronze box, Tom, find a way to go down, we must get it!" ”

Tom also nodded excitedly, but when he took off the rope wrapped around his waist, he was dumbfounded, and he said to the third uncle with a bitter face: "This pool is at least twelve meters deep, but our rope is not even eight meters long." ”

The third uncle scolded damned, turned back to a few of us and said, "Do you have ropes with you?" It's okay to probe the pubic claws, borrow us for a while. ”

I lost my baggage during the battle with Asako, and now I have only a dagger left except for a submachine gun. I looked back at the other people and found that except for Biaozi and Sankra, who also had a burden on their bodies, the rest of Tan Jia and Wu Jian were the same as me, with nothing else on their bodies except for limited weapons.

Seeing our inquiring gaze, Biaozi immediately raised his hand and explained: "You don't have to look at me like that, my baggage is full of food, and nothing else is the same." ”

Sankra also said: "When we came down, we all said that everyone was responsible for one thing, if I remember correctly, ropes and other things are placed in Liu Dapeng's place, so you don't have to look at me, in addition to medical drugs, there are only a few batteries left in my baggage." ”

The third uncle looked disappointed, and then thought of something, and said to Tom on the side: "Tear your coat and mine into strips, and then attach it to the rope, and the estimated length is about the same." ”

Tom immediately shook his head and said, "The temperature in this ancient tomb is very low, if we lose our coat, we will definitely die of cold, otherwise, when the rescuers come down, we will go down to get the box." ”

Seeing the unwilling look on the third uncle's face, Wu Jian said: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, as long as you prepare me with a military dagger, I can get the bronze box below." ”

The third uncle didn't react at once, and asked a little confused: "Give you a dagger and you can go down?" We also looked at Wu Jian with a curious expression, not understanding what use the military dagger could be used at this time.

Wu Jian took out the dagger on his body and said confidently to us: "You don't care so much, just find me another military dagger." ”

Biaozi immediately took out the military dagger on his body and handed it over, and after Wu Jian took it, he stuck the two daggers on his shoulders, then leaned down and grabbed the edge of the pool, and put his legs under the pool.

In our confusion, Wu Jian let go of his right hand, and only grabbed the edge of the pool with his left hand, and then quickly pulled out a dagger from his shoulder with his free right hand. There was a crisp sound, and the tip of the dagger sank into the stone wall of the pool.

I was taken aback, I didn't expect Wu Jian's strength to be so great, but then I found that the four walls of the pool were made of large bluestone half a meter wide, in order to prevent leakage, the connecting gaps between each large bluestone have been treated, and it was filled with a white substance similar to cement slurry, and Wu Jian's dagger was inserted in those thin cracks filled with white adhesive.

After the dagger was inserted into the crack of the big bluestone, Wu Jian tried it with his hand, and after feeling that it would not loosen, he used it as a borrowing point, and then took back the left hand that grabbed the edge of the pool, and then inserted the second dagger into the crack of the stone wall.

Seeing this, I have fully understood that Wu Jian uses the military dagger in his hand as a rock pin for rock climbing, the only difference is that the rock climbing explorer will not take it back after using the pitons, while Wu Jian has to use the dagger in his hand alternately, so that his difficulty will be greater, because there is no safety belt, so the danger will be higher.

Using this extremely dangerous method, it only took two minutes for Wu Jian to go down to the bottom of the pool, and the speed was not unfast, and while we admired him, we were also relieved for his adventure.

After getting the bronze box, Wu Jian swung his arms a few times, and then threw the bronze box in his hand on the platform, and the third uncle was afraid that the bronze box would be broken, so he immediately stepped forward to catch it.

Biaozi asked the third uncle: "I haven't seen you pay so much attention to the funeral goods, what kind of stuff is in this, it makes you nervous." ”

The third uncle stroked the bronze box in his hand with a smile on his face, and said without looking back: "If my guess is right, this is what we have been looking for." ”

We became interested all of a sudden, and we all gathered around, wanting to see what the third uncle was looking for and why he cared so much.

I took a closer look at the bronze box and found that it was just like that, except for some fine carvings, there was nothing unusual about it, but just when I was about to withdraw my gaze, I immediately found a problem, and couldn't help but say to the third uncle: "This bronze box doesn't seem to be locked." ”

The third uncle was excited, after hearing me say this, the smile on his face froze suddenly, he seemed to be a little unconvinced, put the bronze box in front of it, and found that it was really not locked, and his face turned blue all of a sudden.

Bronze chests unearthed from ancient tombs have always contained very valuable things, either the things that the tomb owner loved during his lifetime, or important things such as epitaphs. Because of this, there is a lock attached to it, and some even have small delicate mechanisms installed on it, and if it is not opened in the right way, the contents will be destroyed.

Tom didn't understand the reason, and said to us, "You Orientals are strange, isn't it more convenient to have no locks, do you like to pick locks?" ”

Biaozi is a connoisseur of tomb robbing, and he explains to Tom, "What nonsense? There are only two reasons for this situation, either the contents are worthless and there is no need to lock them, or someone has taken the contents of the bronze box first, leaving only an empty box here. ”

The third uncle obviously thought of these two possibilities, so he was very nervous, and he wanted to open it but was afraid of disappointing himself, so he hesitated there for a while.

The standard couldn't wait, and urged impatiently: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, don't mother-in-law, hurry up and open it!" ”

The muscles on the third uncle's face trembled a few times, and finally made up his mind and began to slowly open the lid of the bronze box, and we suddenly became nervous, and even our breathing became short.

As the lid of the bronze box was lifted higher and higher, the things inside the bronze box were also revealed to us little by little, but no one expected that, as the mark guessed, after the bronze box was completely opened, it was empty, and there was not even a piece of paper left.

The third uncle almost couldn't believe his eyes, he turned the bronze box over and over again, and after making sure that there was really nothing inside, he angrily slammed the bronze box on the ground, and scolded loudly: "Damn, why is this happening?" ”

Although we are also a little disappointed, but we feel a little sorry for the third uncle, this old boy tried his best to get the things in the bronze box, but now he only got an empty box, no wonder he will be angry, I believe that any one of them will definitely not be able to accept such a fact.

Biaozi coughed a few times, patted the third uncle's shoulder and said: "I said that third uncle, what is in this bronze box, if it is a precious treasure, I will forget it, you are not short of money to spend." ”

The third uncle was almost stunned, he rubbed his temples, and sighed at the target: "You kid knows a fart, what is contained here is not a treasure at all, but a key to open the secret of immortality, we have struggled for so many years, just to find this key, but now the bamboo basket is empty, do you think I can see it?" ”

Except for Tom, who knew about it, we were completely shocked by the third uncle's words, and after a while, we came back to our senses, and the mark asked the third uncle in surprise, "What key?" Why is it related to the secret of immortality? ”

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, he lost his words in anger, and he said secretly: "What a key, I'm so confused, I said it casually." Also, why do you kid ask so much about me? ”

The more the third uncle perfunctory me like this, the more everyone felt that things were very unusual, and Biao Zi said with a smile: "I said that the third uncle, I can't find the key, does it mean that your mission has failed?" If that is the case, what else can you not tell us? ”

The third uncle said: "I don't know your kid's little thoughts, tell you, I don't eat this set at all." ”

Biaozi immediately changed his face, and immediately said amiably: "Don't, third uncle, what is our relationship, we are all strategic partners, you just tell us the ins and outs of the matter, are you still afraid that we will not leak secrets?" ”

I've wanted to ask about the third uncle for a long time, but I haven't had a chance, and now that it's come to this point, I am not willing to miss it like this, so I said to the third uncle: "Now that your mission has failed, even if we leak the secret, it will have no effect on you, why can't you satisfy the curiosity in our hearts?" ”

The third uncle seemed to be moved, but when he saw Tan Jia and the others behind me, he began to hesitate again, and I took the opportunity to say: "To be honest, the scientific research team has also been played miserably by you, and now everyone's life and death are uncertain, even if we know some of your secrets, it is not an exaggeration, after all, we are also involved." The most important thing is that we know it or not, it doesn't get in your way, does it? ”

Tan Jia obviously saw what the third uncle meant, and she said simply: "Since you have a grudge against me, don't tell us about this matter, in fact, at this point, I'm not interested in anything anymore." (To be continued.) )
