Chapter 13: The Stone Wall Mechanism
When everyone was digging the thief hole about the same, the giant egg behind him made a sound of eggshell splitting, and after the smoke man and the fat man observed, the smoke man turned around and drilled into the thief hole in a hurry, and continued to dig the thief hole, and the monkey grabbed the fat man who came back and asked him if the giant egg was cracked.
As a result, the fat man stumbled in his speech, and the monkey did not hear what he was saying, so he asked, "Fire, what fire?" Where is the fire? ”
The fat man ignored the monkey, turned around and glanced at the giant egg in the distance, and then went into the thief hole on the wall without looking back, ready to speed up the excavation with the smoke man, and the monkey had a puzzled expression, followed the fat man into the thief hole, and wanted to ask what kind of "fire" the fat man was talking about just now?
And just when the monkey got into the hole, the giant egg in the nest broke with a "bang", and a huge object flowed out of the egg shell, which was directly rushed to the front of the mound by the liquid in the egg shell. The person who was still standing outside the thief hole was splashed by the sudden slime, and the third child stood near the thief hole farthest from the giant egg, only the clothes were splashed with a little transparent liquid, and he immediately wiped it with a handkerchief pinned to the clothes, and as a result, the mucus stuck to the clothes, no matter how hard he wiped it, he couldn't wipe it off. And just when the third child was still bowing his head and busy wiping his clothes, the second child standing next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Open your eyes." After exclaiming, he quickly pushed the third child to the entrance of the thief hole, forced the third child's head and said, "Third child, quickly get in and escape." ”
The third child inexplicably got into the thief hole, and the moment he got into the thief hole, he heard a terrible scream, and was about to turn back to check the situation outside, but because the second child also followed closely behind, he didn't see what was happening outside. The third child was urged and pushed forward by the second child behind him, and the two of them had just climbed not far away, and a sand digger who came with them also came in through the thief hole, his clothes were very messy, and the shoes on his feet were gone.
The smoke man who was busy digging the thief hole and the fat man behind him also heard the screams, and the terrible screams were as sharp as a sword that could cut through the sky, and people's hearts trembled.
When the fat man heard the scream, he immediately turned around, crawled over to the third child, and asked the third child anxiously, "What happened?" ”
The third child was also inexplicably panicked, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was forced into the thief cave by my second brother, and I didn't see what happened behind me at all." After speaking, he turned around and asked the second brother behind him, "Second brother, what's going on?" ”
The second child behind him had all the mud on his face, his clothes were also sticking together, and his pants were also covered with a lot of mud.
The second child didn't answer, but said with palpitations: "I have mucus on my face, I can't wipe it off, just now Master Xu was directly stuck to the ground by the mucus and was eaten by the monster." ”
After hearing this, the third child immediately widened his eyes in horror, covered his mouth wide with his hands, and looked at the second child in a daze.
After listening to this, the fat man hurriedly asked, "What kind of monster is it?" ”
The second child shook his head and said: "I didn't see it clearly, I saw a huge eye, suddenly opened, and then I hurriedly pushed the third child into the thief hole, and when I turned around and looked out from the thief hole, I saw a big mouth holding the corpse of Xu Gong, so frightened that I also hurriedly urged the third child to crawl forward, and did not fully see the situation outside." ”
At this time, the other surviving sand digger, Master Zhang, also climbed in front of them, and everyone saw that half of his face was full of slimy liquid mixed with dirt, which was still dripping down his chin, and the left half of his face was completely submerged in mucus from his eyes.
When the fat man saw Master Zhang coming in, he anxiously asked him, "Where is Master Xu?" ”
Zhang Gong shook his head, intending to open his mouth to say something. However, the left half of his mouth was stuck with the slime, making it impossible for him to open his mouth to speak.
The fat man saw that Master Zhang's face was stuck with mucus, so he planned to reach out to help Zhang Gong get rid of the mucus on his face, but he was pulled by a person behind him. I saw the smoke man look at him and said, "You can't touch it, if you touch it, you will be sticky." ”
The dangers of the tomb are so unpredictable that you can never guess what will happen next, let alone underestimate the power of nature and the wisdom of our ancestors. It is no longer possible to verify why the giant egg exists, perhaps it is a product of natural derivation under the power of nature; Maybe it's the previous ancestors, the monsters who served the enemy. Anyway, in a blink of an eye, a living person died unprepared in front of everyone and left the world.
After listening to the cigarette man, the fat man opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Zhang Gong, who was at the back, wrote on the ground with his hand, "I'm fine, keep going, the thing behind is too big to get in, but I just heard the sound of a collapse behind me." ”
Seeing Zhang Gong's words written on the ground, the third man's sharp voice exclaimed: "The entrance to the cave has collapsed, so we can't get out, so we can't be suffocated here?" ”
The fat man heard the slender voice of the old man, and said angrily: "You can't go back if you haven't been sealed in the back, do you want to end up with XCMG?" ”
The smoke man didn't speak, turned around and continued to advance, everyone saw that the smoke man's face was not very good, so they stopped talking, and followed silently. After a while, everyone crowded at the end of the robbery hole, and began to dig silently, everyone knew very well that if they did not dig through the robbery hole, their chances of survival would gradually shrink with the passage of time until they disappeared.
And it is not only time that keeps disappearing, but also very limited air, and the narrow and dim thief cave seems to be a forgotten world. The mental pressure made everyone restless and restless, but they could only dig silently in the damp and soft soil, hoping to leave this boring and unsettling place before the limited air ran out. Staying in a confined space for a long time, even for people who don't have a phobia of confined spaces, is absolutely difficult to endure to the point of madness.
Fortunately, the smoke man and several of them were all people who were blessed with great fortune, and the thief hole was miraculously dug by them after a quarter of an hour. It's really luck when it comes, and it can't be stopped.
After the hole was dug through, the smoke man first turned off the flashlight in his hand and lit a fire fold, the flame of the fire fold swayed in the dark, flickering and not extinguished, it seems that the air quality here is not very bad.
So, everyone jumped out of the cave, and found that they were in a narrow and long place, like a passage through a tomb, with heavy stone walls on both sides, and a square stone path under their feet, which stretched straight forward. Due to the limited light of the fire, you can't see where the end is?
The fat man just wanted to take a step with a flashlight, but as a result, he was grabbed by the cigarette man violently, and he saw the cigarette man with a slightly anxious expression and said to him, "I'll go first." He took a cautious step forward. After only one step, the smoke man stood still, closed his eyes and listened with his ears pricked up.
The cigarette man stood one step away from everyone like this, standing still and not moving, and after a while, the fat man finally couldn't help it, and muttered softly, "What are you doing?" Asleep? So, he called out to the cigarette man and said, "Little brother, why don't you leave?" ”
As a result, the cigarette man still stood quietly, as if he had settled down and did not reflect at all, and the third child standing next to the fat man at this time immediately ridiculed the fat man and said, "Pig head." ”
As soon as the fat man was about to return the mouth, he saw the cigarette man in front of him suddenly turn around and say to everyone: "You walk on the place I walked, one person at a time, and only one person can stand on the square stone slab I advance every time, do you understand?" ”
After listening to the smoke man's explanation, everyone looked at the stone slab under their feet, and saw that the square stone slab on the ground was a foot long and wide, and it was also decorated with very strange patterns, like a plane map of a labyrinth.
The third child was very worried and said to the fat man: "You take the lead, I don't worry about leaving you behind." ”
The fat man didn't say anything, and jumped to the place where the smoke man was standing just now as he stepped on another stone slab.
At this time, the monkey said to the third child with a hippie smile: "Little third master, how many am I?" ”
The third child glanced at him and said, "You go behind me." With that, he jumped onto the stone slab that the fat man had just left. After leaving the second hall like this, everyone jumped on the ground one after another.
Because some of the stone slabs in progress are far away from each other, they can only reach the next safe stone slab by jumping far away with all their strength. Not long after this repeated beating, everyone was already panting and sweating profusely.
The cigarette man and the fat man are both kung fu people, and it is not a problem to jump far away, but it hurts a few people behind. The third man is light and dexterous but his body is insufficient, and there is nothing wrong with the monkey, and Zhang Gong behind him has already squatted on the ground to rest, breathing like a cow wheezing. Zhang Gong's eyes were invisible on one side, and the other side was wet with the sweat sliding down his forehead, he kept wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and his movement was completely restricted, in order to keep up with the pace of the people in front of him, he was very reluctant to speed up his actions. And the second child at the back, although he is full of strength, his body is heavy and clumsy, and he also jumps very hard. After the second child shouted to rest, they walked on the stone road for nearly less than a third of the way.
After a moment of rest, everyone began to concentrate again, and as a result, slowly the problem appeared again, everyone's body was constantly declining, and their attention could not be highly concentrated, and after a few beats, Zhang Gong stopped. He stood there in embarrassment, shouting to the monkey who was already far ahead of him, saying that he had forgotten which stone slab to take next, and the monkey immediately called the man in front of him to stop, then turned around and stared at the ground. However, his face was embarrassed, his small eyes swayed from side to side, and he was not sure of his mind for a while.
At this time, the third child standing behind the monkey looked at the ground for a long time and shouted loudly: "Go to the same row as you, separated by two stone slabs." ”
When Zhang Gong heard this, he immediately jumped forward, and then staggered and barely landed safely, while the second child behind him immediately followed. Then, the third child not far away shouted again, "There are two rows of horizontal on the left, and two rows of places vertically." ”
As soon as the third child's words fell, Zhang Gong bent down and jumped up again, this time he was even more reluctant to bounce, and as a result, at the moment when he hit the ground with his heels, his body lost his balance, and he fell directly on the stone slab in front of him, and fell heavily on the ground.
And at this moment, there was a piercing creaking sound, and everyone couldn't help but look around, and the cigarette man standing at the front shouted at the top of his voice, "Run, run." After speaking, he anxiously beckoned everyone to run forward.
When everyone heard the shouts of the smoke man, they couldn't help but think in shock: Why didn't you jump and run away instead?
As a result, just when everyone was still stunned, the heavy stone walls on both sides of the narrow tomb began to creak towards the center, and they were about to clamp everyone into pies.
