Chapter 239: Into the Ground
The Land Rover suddenly braked sharply on the sand, leaving ruts on the ground, and Mr. W smiled: "We're home." ”
They were parked on the perimeter of the Sun Tomb, and the circle of wooden stakes more than a foot high blocked the movement of the off-road vehicles, and the rest of the journey was only on foot.
Zhu Beichen walked out of the car expressionlessly, he didn't feel very scared at this time, the cemetery was in front of him. When there are too many supernatural events, people will gradually become numb, and he is now surprisingly calm.
Zhang Chu couldn't get used to his expression, felt very strange, and asked: "How can you be so calm, we will go down to the ancient tomb in a while, an underground cave with a history of 3,800 years, aren't you afraid?" ”
Zhu Beichen shook his head after hearing this, and said, "I have nothing to worry about, but I am looking forward to it, do you believe it?" ”
Mr. W did not participate in the conversation between the two, turned on the flashlight, and continued deep into the hinterland of the Sun Tomb.
The decaying wooden stakes stood silently, perhaps thousands of years old, and in total darkness, one wondered if they would suddenly be brought to life and come back to life to guard the millennium cemetery.
Zhu Beichen found that the two of them were also a little confused, and they led themselves back and forth in the circle of the outer stake siege a few times, as if they were looking for it, and it seemed that they needed to follow some special pace of movement to find the accurate entrance to the ancient tomb.
The whole tomb resembles a radiant sun, and there are six of these sun tombs, which are arranged in an orderly manner like an altar in the cemetery.
Mr. W stopped at the entrance of a black hole, then began to crouch, his nose pressed against the ground, and sniffed the cave vigorously, much like a mouse.
The shape of the hole is very irregular, about half a meter wide at the widest point, which can only accommodate one person to enter, and it looks like an entrance and exit prepared for mice.
The icy yin wind blew up from the inside out, and there was a "whirring" sound in the cave, which made Mr. W very excited, and Zhu Beichen knew that he had found the right entrance.
Zhang Chu didn't know when he had taken out the rope from his backpack and tied it to a stake not far away, he said: "Don't be nervous and afraid, I'll put the rope on you in a while, and put you down little by little, the process of falling may be a little long, just bear with it." ”
He was passing a message to Zhu Beichen, the bottom of the cave was very deep from the ground, and now there was no light in the ground.
Zhu Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Tie it up, whatever you want." ”
Mr. W said, "I'll go down first and wait for you below." ”
This sentence is like a person who said before he died, I will go down first, and wait for you below.
As soon as he finished speaking, he inserted his legs into the hole, squeezed his body as hard as he could, slippery through the hole, and instantly disappeared into the dark hole.
Zhu Beichen was stunned, eased his emotions and asked, "Didn't he go down slowly with a rope?" At such a high height, you will die if you fall. ”
After a long time, there was a dull sound in the cave, and the sound of falling objects hitting the ground made a sound.
Zhang Chu didn't answer, just put the rope on Zhu Beichen's chest, and confirmed that it was tied firmly many times before he spoke: "Okay, you can go down, don't play tricks, I can deal with you alone." ”
Zhu Beichen muttered: "It's over, the rat pit thousands of years ago was narrow, deep and black, and I didn't know what was in it when I went underground." ”
The rope was lowered section by section, and at first Zhu Beichen could still see the faint light on the ground, but as the depth deepened, the scenery on the ground gradually faded, and the surroundings of his body fell into a completely dark environment.
Sand and gravel continued to slide down from the four walls of the cave, the air became dirty, and sand and dust fell in the cracks of clothes and hair.
A minute passed, and Zhu Beichen's legs had not yet stepped on the solid ground, which made him feel very surprised, and at this time, there was a faint sound at the entrance of the cave.
Zhang Chu's voice came from one after another across the distance: "Are you okay?. What the. Thing."
He had just taken a bite of dust, and the air under the ground was in a very bad condition, and he didn't know if he would suffocate from lack of oxygen in the next moment.
"Alive!" Zhu Beichen replied succinctly, not wanting to have too much communication with this person.
The space inside the cave gradually became more open, like an upside-down funnel, and the pressure around the body suddenly decreased, and breathing began to flow smoothly.
In the end, Zhu Beichen felt that there was a soft mud under his feet, and stepping on the ground could leave shallow footprints.
He began to untie the rope around his body, and Mr. W, who had come down one step ahead of him, was no longer moving, perhaps he had been hiding in a corner in the darkness waiting for him.
Another burst of sand and dust fell, and the soil here was so loose that even the vibration of sound waves would attract a cloud of dust.
He knew that it was Zhang Chu asking about the situation, but the voice was too far away to be noticed.
"Don't move, don't think you can escape here." A figure stepped out of the darkness and turned on the flashlight.
The strong light hit Zhu Beichen's face, and Mr. W held the flashlight and smiled: "Welcome to our home, the underground world." ”
Not long after, there was a loud noise above the vertical hole, Zhu Beichen hurriedly dodged, and Zhang Chu also came down.
It should be said that he was falling freely, and the powerful gravitational potential energy bombarded the ground with him, and a humanoid mark was imprinted on the soft mud in an instant.
Zhang Chu fell to the bottom of the deep cave, facing the ground head-on, and did not seem to be seriously injured, so he immediately rolled over and got up, patting the dust on his body.
Mr. W asked lightly, "Are you alright?" ”
Zhang Chu replied: "It's a little fractured, it's not a big deal." ”
He put his hands under his ribs, twisted his upper body vigorously, and the crisp bone displacement sound sounded "click", and then put his right arm on his left shoulder, straightening his bones, and barely blinking during the process.
Zhu Beichen was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, and the vertical distance between the entrance of the cave and the bottom of the cave was probably hundreds of meters, and Zhang Chu was like a nobody, and even repaired the misplaced bones by himself.
He picked up a broken and deformed flashlight from the dirt floor, and said regretfully: "I didn't protect it when I came down, and it was crushed." ”
Zhu Beichen was dumbfounded again, and the shock brought to him by all the actions of the two was huge.
Mr. W then said, "It's okay, we don't really need that thing, there's still a long way to go, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”
In this way, Mr. W took the flashlight to the head, Zhu Beichen was in the middle, and Zhang Chu walked at the end and began to embark on the journey underground.
