Chapter 207: Ice and Fire
Although this buddy also looks strict, his image is much better than that of their captain, except that his skin is a little darker, almost coffee-colored, comparable to the skin color of the inhabitants of Southeast Asia.
Ouyang Yi introduced Wen Qingshan and me: "This is Weizi, he is acting with us this time. ”
Weizi nodded at me and Wen Qingshan, didn't say anything, walked quickly to the back of the car, took a tubing from the car, threw it into the dirt pit, and then opened the valve.
The clear and translucent gasoline quickly came out of the oil pipe, and immediately a strong smell of gasoline wafted in.
Ryuichi once said that he was going to use the method of fire to suppress the blood vine, and it seems that he was going to do so now. But I muttered in my heart, and said secretly: pour gasoline into this pit and burn it like this, and you can't burn the soil like hot bricks, how will we get into it later?
After about half an hour, the soil in the pit was almost completely soaked with gasoline, and Weizi dragged the tubing up from the pit and slapped the car several times.
The tanker truck quickly drove away, and Weizi asked Chen Biao, "Captain, do you want to ignite the fire now?" ”
"Ignition!" Chen Biao's answer was concise and to the point.
Weizi lit a rag dipped in gasoline and threw it into the pit, which immediately burst into flames.
Because it was the height of summer, it was already hot, and now with the fire in the pit, I immediately felt a wave of heat coming, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I hurriedly retreated a few steps.
The fire burned for nearly half an hour before it gradually went out, and when I looked into the pit, it had become pitch black, and I was thinking about how to go down to find the entrance to the tomb in this state, when Weizi called a long-arm excavator.
The excavator stops next to the pit, extends the long-arm bucket into the pit and starts digging. After a while, a dark hole appeared in front of us.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised, I didn't expect them to be so accurate, it seems that they have been doing a lot of homework in the past two days.
Soon the hole was completely dug up, a man-made arch hole, about one meter wide and two meters high, the entrance of the hole was made of bluestone bricks, and a stone staircase extending down was faintly visible in the cave.
Ouyang Yi stared at the arch hole, turned his head and said to everyone, "Now that we are ready to go in, everyone tidy up and bring everything that should be brought." Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked me, "Brother Shi Yu, do you know how to use a gun?" ”
I shook my head hurriedly and said, "I don't think so, I did shoot a target once during military training in college, but I didn't get a few shots on target." ”
Ouyang Yi smiled and asked again, "Then what weapon do you use?" ”
It turned out that Chen Biao, Weizi and Long Yi were all holding automatic weapons, and Wen Qingshan also had the broken dragon slash in his hand that was more than two feet long, and only I was empty-handed, so Ouyang Yi asked me so.
I was about to open my mouth to answer, but Long Yi answered for me on the side: "Dr. Ouyang, you don't have to worry about Brother Shi Yu, he has dragon teeth in his hand!" ”
"What! Dragon's Tooth!? Ouyang Yi immediately turned his head and asked me, "Brother Shi Yu, can you show me the dragon teeth?" ”
I hesitated for a moment, although I was very reluctant, but I couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so I had to take out the dragon tooth and hand it to Ouyang Yi, he took the dragon tooth, held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, before he shouted excitedly: "It's the dragon tooth!" Sure enough, it's a dragon's tooth! Brother Shi Yu, where did you get it from? ”
I didn't expect the old man to be so interested in the origin of the dragon's teeth, but I didn't want to explain it to him again, so I said, "It's a long story, and if you really let me make it clear, I'm afraid it will take an hour." ”
Ouyang Yi immediately understood my voice, smiled, and said, "Then let's talk about it another day, let's do business today." ”
As soon as his words fell, Chen Biao, who was standing aside, coldly dropped a sentence: "Let's act!" With that, he jumped into the pit first, and the others jumped in the footsteps.
As soon as I landed, I immediately felt a compelling heat hitting my face, and my face suddenly felt as if it was burned by fire, and I was busy covering my face with my hands, but the rest of my body was not very comfortable. I guess it's just like being in a steamer, if you take a box of raw eggs, it won't take three minutes and it will turn into mature eggs.
However, I did find the benefit of the combat boots under my feet, the ground temperature in the pit was 70 or 80 degrees, and if I had worn my previous pair of Nike sneakers, I am afraid that the soles would have been burned through. And these combat boots seem to have the effect of fire and heat insulation, and I can't even feel how hot the center of the foot is.
It was so hot, but in a few moments, I felt like I was sweating profusely, and the key was that each of us was carrying an oxygen cylinder on our backs, and in such a hot environment, I didn't know if the oxygen cylinder would be affected in any way in case of an explosion......
I didn't dare to continue thinking about it, I just wanted to get out of here quickly, when Wen Qingshan said loudly: "It's going to be cooler in the cave, let's hurry in!" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't care so much, and hurriedly ran to the arch hole.
Sure enough, as Wen Qingshan said, after entering the arch cave, he walked a few steps inside, and then felt a cool breeze coming, because I was now covered in sweat, and now I was blown by the cool breeze, and I suddenly felt refreshed.
It was dark in the arch, and I was regretting that I didn't bring a flashlight, but suddenly I noticed that the helmets of several of them were shooting bright beams of light, which turned out to be a kind of helmet that also served as a light, somewhat similar to a miner's lamp cap.
With Ryuichi's help, Wen Qingshan and I also turned on the spotlight above the helmet. The field of vision suddenly became a lot wider.
Only then did I see the situation in front of me, this is a staircase that extends down obliquely, the stone steps are about a meter wide, and the walls on both sides are made of bluestone bricks, but for some reason, the walls are full of holes of all sizes, and they look full of holes.
I stared closely at the holes, and suddenly I noticed that there was some blood-red slime left around some of the holes, which looked like blood.
I immediately shouted, "Look, how can there be blood on this wall!" And it's not done yet! ”
Long Yi walked over, touched the "blood" with his fingers, and then put it in front of his nose and smelled it, his face suddenly changed, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Yi and said, "It's a blood vine!" ”
As soon as I heard the word "blood vine", I couldn't help but feel nervous, and subconsciously took two steps back, but it was so spacious, and when I retreated, my back touched the wall on the other side. I turned my head to see that the same was true of the wall, with holes in it, and some of them were surrounded by blood-red slime.
Ouyang Yi looked around, frowned, and said, "It seems that this passage has been completely sealed by the blood vine, and if it weren't for our method of burning with fire, it would be almost impossible to get in." ”
"Will there be a blood vine down there?" I still feel a lingering feeling at the blood vine that almost killed me.
"That's hard to say! But don't worry too much, the light emitted by our helmets contains ultraviolet rays, which can have a certain deterrent effect on evil things. ”
Hearing Ouyang Yi say this, I was a little relieved in my heart, but Long Yi's words made my heart hang, and he leaned into my ear and whispered: "Actually, this lamp is not so godly, whether it can deter evil things is a matter of opinion." ”
In my opinion, it means that this lamp has no substantial effect on evil spirits at all, except for a little psychological comfort.
I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurriedly took out the dragon's tooth and held it in my hand. At the critical time, this thing is still reliable.
We continued to walk down the stairs, and as we went deeper, the chill became thicker and thicker, and I shivered with cold, but fortunately the combat uniform I was wearing was still thick, otherwise I would have to be frozen.
I couldn't help but sigh: "This is really two heavens of ice and fire!" It's like an ice cellar down here. ”
Wen Qingshan said on the side: "Could it be the cold aura emitted by that evil stone?" ”
As soon as I heard the evil spirit, I immediately thought of Chen Zhonghao, who had become a drought, and my heart suddenly became nervous, this guy was hiding here nine times out of ten. I don't know if it will suddenly pop out of nowhere.
We soon descended the stairs, and an arched corridor with walls made of bluestone bricks and straight forward appeared.
The corridor was only one meter wide and twenty or thirty meters deep, and although the whole corridor was unobstructed by the light of the hat lamp on our heads, there was always an indescribable uneasiness in my heart.
I asked Wen Qingshan in a low voice: "Boss Wen, do you think this corridor will be equipped with a hidden weapon?" ”
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "It shouldn't be!" ”
Ouyang Yi, who was standing on the side, was slightly stunned, turned his head and asked, "Why does Mr. Wen think so?" ”
Wen Qingshan pointed his hand forward and said: "You take a closer look at this corridor, the floor is uneven, although it is paved with stones, but it is actually some unpolished, waste stones of different sizes, it can be seen that this should be just a temporary passage, according to the book, the original tomb builders had secretly built a door to the outside world, presumably this passage." So I don't think there should be a trap in this passage. ”
Ouyang Yi nodded approvingly: "Mr. Wen is really thoughtful!" In this way, this passage should be safe, but in any case, everyone should be careful and not careless. ”
I immediately chimed in: "That's right! Even if you don't have a hidden weapon, there are still droughts! ”
Chen Biao snorted lightly: "Hmph! If the dartfish were the best, I was thinking that it would be the best, try the effect of this gun! With that, he strode forward with his gun in hand.
