Chapter 41: The Hidden Room

When we heard the sound, we crept to the entrance, and all the six miner's lamps shone into it, only to see that the inner layer was as empty as the outer layer, the only difference was that there was a higher stone face at the very edge, and a white jade box was placed on it.

The smoker stared at the jade box for a long time before he spoke, "This is bad, the effect of that jade box is the same principle as this load-bearing wall, and it is used to maintain balance." If you take away the jade box, I'm afraid this room will collapse. ”

"Ah, that thing looks like it's worth a lot of money? What can I do? ”

The big head didn't make a sound just now, and when he heard the fat man's call, he said, "I'm afraid the most valuable thing is still in the jade box, smoker, if you don't take away the jade box and only take out the objects inside, will it have much impact?" ”

The smoker took a long breath of cigarette and sighed, "If this load-bearing wall hadn't been torn down so many bricks, it wouldn't have been a problem to take things out, but in this situation, it's hard to say." ”

When it comes to housing, the smoker is an expert, and if he can't even tell, it's very tricky.

The big head was silent for a while, and looked at the jade box unwillingly, "It's not like there is a way to return to the ground here, and the next thing is to go down to the ancient tomb to see, in this case, one of us will go down and go to get the things in the jade box, and the rest of us will go out to the turning point now, put down the rope, in case this room collapses, we can also avoid danger in time." ”

After hearing this, a chill rose sharply, so the survival rate of the person who stayed behind was half and half, for the sake of the thing in the jade box that didn't know what it was, was it worth taking such a big risk?

But before I could think about it, a voice came out, "I'll do it." ”

This is the voice of a monkey.

I turned my head to look at him in surprise, but he had a shallow smile on his face, "I am the only one who can do this, you are all too fat and too slow." ”

He didn't know how dangerous it would be?

The big head looked at the monkey bitterly and tangledly, "Be careful." ”

This is a kind of acquiescence, and when it comes to this, we don't know what to say, so we have to go up and give the monkey a hug, and silently step on the bluestone steps, and when the last taro walks down, he shouts to the monkey, "Take something, come down immediately, don't hesitate, we'll wait for you." ”

The monkey did not make a sound, made a gesture of 'no problem', squatted down next to the mouth, and watched as we lowered the three ropes one after another, and threw several fire folds down, and the taro, the fat, and the big head climbed up the rope first, and fell slowly. Seeing them down to the waist, I turned my head to the monkey above the mouth, "Okay." ”

Hearing the sound, the monkey was gone, and here I and the smoker also fastened the rope to our waists, and the third rope was empty, anxiously waiting for the monkey's return with the two of us.

One second, two seconds... One minute, two minutes......

Something is wrong, how could it take so long, just as I was thinking so, suddenly a "click, click" sound sounded, and it was louder than the other.

"Oh no, the stone house is going to collapse." The smoker yelled badly, and then the monkey didn't come out yet.

Unable to care less, I immediately shouted "Monkey! Run, monkey! ”

"Boom." A huge roof above the left side of the house slammed down, mixed with thick dust, and rolled in this direction. The collapse of the roof had a ripple effect, and the dirt that had accumulated on it began to fall.

"Boom, boom, boom" One roof after another boulders kept falling, but there were still no monkeys to be seen.

"It's over." I fell to my knees with my grief-stricken legs.

Finally, the roof of the inner layer also crumbled, and it only took a few seconds to smash down, and the entire stone house was about to be completely destroyed.

The smoker stood beside me, choking in his throat and saying, "Mosquito, it's time to go." Otherwise, we'll die if the dirt slides down. ”

When I stopped talking, my brain exploded instantly, and I yelled loudly, "What about the monkeys? What did he do? ”

"Don't cry, if we die, the monkey's sacrifice will be in vain." Only then did I realize that I had burst into tears.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!"

"Bang, bang, bang" The dirt layer is about to slip off.

"It's really time to go."

"Hey!" Suddenly, a scream sounded in the distance, "Get off the rope, quick!" The monkey's voice rang out unexpectedly, and I quickly wiped away a handful of tears, and when I looked up, I saw him running down the stairs as if he were flying in stride. While shouting, "Run." ”

"Monkey, hurry." Seeing that he was still alive, my heart was extremely excited, I pulled the rope reserved for him and threw it straight over, and when I saw the rope flying, he grabbed the rope one by one, and quickly buckled it to his waist, and his body had slid rapidly into the air. I didn't dare to slack off with the smoker, and immediately I kicked my feet and scrambled to pop out of the ground.

Above, the thick earth covered the spot we had just stood in the blink of an eye like a tsunami, and then rolled down like a waterfall.

"Let go, let go. Don't control the speed, go straight down. Seeing this, the smoke ghost hurriedly shouted.

Unfortunately, after all, the reaction was slow, and the tumbling earth had already rushed in front of us, hitting our bodies fiercely, and just for a moment, I felt like a meteorite hybrid that had been slipped from the sky, and suddenly the five cavities and six abdomen seemed to be stirred vigorously by someone's hands, and all of them were displaced from their original positions. I was so uncomfortable that I wanted to vomit, but I found that my mouth was already full of sand.

It felt like the three of us had been slammed into a fluffy and soft place in an instant, and then we were covered in countless dusts again, unconscious.

"Hey, wake up." In a daze, someone was patting me in the face, and I struggled to open my eyes to see what was going on, and then I heard "Hey, the mosquito is awake." This voice seems to be a fat man. So to speak, I'm not dead.

Seeing that I woke up, the fat man immediately stopped me and helped me to sit up, took the kettle and handed it to my mouth, I smelled the smell of water, I don't know where the strength came from, and grabbed it violently. Poured into the mouth like a cow drinking water. In this way, I can be regarded as recovering a little energy, and I can speak, "Where are we?" ”

"You kid is really blessed with a great fate, you didn't fall down from such a high place and didn't kill you, and we are now in front of the gate of that ancient tomb."

"What about monkeys and smokers?" I hurriedly asked.

"Isn't it there? The two of them are a little luckier than you, they run faster, they take less damage, and they have long recovered. ”

I turned to look at them, both of them were recuperating with their eyes closed, and when I saw that they were all right, my nerves relaxed, and the exhaustion that invaded my whole body immediately caused me to fall into a deep sleep.

Faintly, a voice was heard: "They've arrived." "I don't know how long I slept this time, dozens of meters underground, there was no concept of time, I just knew that when I woke up, the five of them were sitting around munching on compressed biscuits, and there was a pile of white bones that I didn't know where to pick up next to the taro, and he was holding a skull in his left hand and eating on his right.
