After I entered the square cave, I found that there were only Wenmo, Second Uncle, Lantern Xiao and me, but Zhou Cheng didn't know where to go. So I asked, "Hey, what about Brother Cheng?" ”

Hearing my words, Lantern Xiao's face changed slightly, and he didn't speak, but looked outside the square cave.

I looked at the second uncle with some doubts, and the second uncle told me that not long after opening the stone gate, he and Wenmo found that their strength could not compete with the surging seawater, so they simply dived into the water, followed the direction of the seawater, and entered this corridor. After surfacing, they found that although the speed of the water here was still very fast, the situation at the door was still somewhat eased. They first managed to hold their bodies in place with a pickaxe, and then took out their flashlights to check their surroundings. They tried to control their speed along the corridor, slowly moving forward until they found the black hole near the end.

They were shocked and quickly stopped, and the structure of the place here was also beyond their expectations. This road is impassable, so I have to find another way. So the second uncle and Wen Mo quickly observed and retreated, and the height of this road also attracted their attention, and after a closer look, they found a square hole on it, and there was more than one, and at a rough look, at least two or three square holes like this were found.

Hearing the second uncle tell me this, in fact, it sounds like what they do is quite easy, and there is no difficulty, but with my personal experience at the time, maintaining a clear sense of direction from the water, and then quickly surfacing the surface, trying to find a way to fix the body, these are really too difficult, I have to admire the second uncle's rich experience, as well as the psychological quality of not being surprised.

Later, Wen Mo and the second uncle found a square hole near the end of the black hole, where the line of sight was better and the water flow was relatively slow. Because they didn't find any trace of us along the way, they did so in the hope that they would stop us before we were washed into the black hole at the end.

Second uncle, they did think about it like this, and soon they saw Lantern Xiao and I rolling in the water and were washed over. The second uncle and Wenmo used the flying claws and climbing ropes to catch the two of us.

My second uncle once told me that tomb robbers have good psychological qualities, which is the most effective guarantee for surviving when there is a sudden accident in the ancient tomb. Today I deeply realized that with the same experience, did I and Lantern Xiao almost die, in fact, Lantern Xiao's performance may be better than me, and the second uncle and Wenmo not only turned their own danger into safety, but also had the spare strength to rescue us. This is really a five-body throw that I admire.

Seeing that I was unconscious, Wenmo asked Lantern Xiao to tie me to my body first. He and his second uncle continued to look for Zhou Cheng's traces.

However, everyone waited here for a long time, but they didn't see Zhou Cheng drifting over, and Wenmo used a mountaineering pickaxe to follow the tomb wall and move forward against the torrent for some distance, but there was no sign of Zhou Cheng. After tossing and turning like this for a long time, they finally had to give up, and everyone decided to enter the square hole above as soon as possible.

We must get out of the water as soon as possible at this time, because the water temperature is very low, coupled with the great physical exertion, each of us has almost reached the limit of physical fitness, and in this case it will not last long. Entering the square cave to rest first is the best and necessary choice at present.

After that, the second uncle first entered the square cave to explore the real situation, and then the others climbed in one by one. As for the rest of the matter, I know all about it.

A few of us sat in the square cave, and after listening to the second uncle tell me what happened just now, I couldn't help frowning, "Where will Brother Cheng go?" Should it be ......" I subconsciously glanced at the deep black hole below, and then looked at Lantern Xiao, after all, Zhou Cheng is a member of the Tang family, Lantern Festival and Zhou Cheng have been together for so many years, and they still have feelings to some extent, considering Lantern Xiao's feelings, Zhou Cheng is likely to be in danger I didn't say it.

Lan Xiao lowered his eyes a little gloomily, and then shook his head, "It shouldn't be, although Brother Cheng doesn't know much about the things in the inverted fighting industry, but he has also participated in the affairs of the ground, and with his skills, he will never be so easy to be tricked." ”

After listening to Lantern Xiao's words, I nodded, it is indeed so. Even a novice like me who has not fully transformed has not had an accident, and Zhou Cheng really shouldn't hang up so easily. But who can say for sure what is going on in this ancient tomb, many times life and death are in an instant.

After Lantern Xiao finished speaking, he climbed to the entrance of the square cave, searched carefully again with a flashlight below and around, and then shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng!" Zhou Cheng! You're not there! However, there was no response, and Lantern Xiao sat down a little dejectedly.

I stepped forward and patted Lantern Xiao's shoulder, and Lantern Xiao forced a smile, "I'm fine, I didn't see Brother Cheng's body, I won't believe that something happened to him, this ancient tomb is so weird, it's hard to guarantee that there is no strange passage, maybe we just got separated from him." ”

I nodded, Lantern Xiao is also reasonable, in this place, when you encounter such a thing, you should think about the good, don't let yourself put too much pressure on yourself.

"It's very likely! Zhou Cheng may have stumbled into other routes by mistake. The second uncle suddenly said loudly.

The second uncle's words surprised me a little, if I agreed with the idea of Lantern Festival just now, there are some elements of self-deception and self-consolation in it, then at this time, the second uncle suddenly agrees with this statement, I'm afraid it is not a simple comfort.

I hurriedly turned my head to look at the second uncle, "What do you mean?" ”

The second uncle smiled and said, "It's not unreasonable for me to say this. As he spoke, the second uncle took out something from his bag, and I could tell that it was a folding alcohol stove. Then the second uncle took out a piece of solid fuel from the sealed bag and carefully lit it. The heat of this fuel is very high, and all of a sudden I feel that the surroundings are immediately warmed up.

At this time, I realized that the soaked clothes on my body had made my body cold, and my legs and feet were a little frozen, and I shivered with cold when I moved a little. We hurried close to the alcohol oven and baked our bodies. Several people gathered around the alcohol stove, and the wet clothes were steaming under the fire, and patches of water mist were steaming.

The second uncle then said to us: "Actually, the reason why I say this, first of all, is because this place is definitely not the only route we have passed, don't forget, there is another person in this tomb!" ”

After listening to the words of the second uncle, my heart moved, yes, I almost forgot, and Yuan An! Even if the corpse in that cloud pattern tripod was Qi Feng, then where did Yuan An go? We didn't find any traces of him along the way, so the second uncle was right, there should be other routes here besides the more orthodox route we took. Therefore, it is very likely that Zhou Cheng stumbled into other lines by mistake.

The second uncle saw us nodding in agreement, so he continued: "Another point is that when this road first entered the door, the water there was the most turbulent, and we were all crushed under the water at that time, and no one knew the specific situation in that place. The Yongdao here is so high, it is ridiculously high, and there should be a lot of square holes above the tomb wall, at least not only the ones we see. Zhou Cheng may have gone to other places through other square holes. ”

Hearing the second uncle say this, I couldn't help but shine the flashlight into the depths of the square cave, "Second uncle, what do you mean, the square cave where we are also a passage." ”

The second uncle nodded, and then shook his head again, "It's possible, but I always feel that this matter is a little strange, and we seem to have been led here step by step." ”

Hearing the second uncle say this, our faces also changed, to be honest, I also feel like this, I always feel that we were forced here by someone with a mechanism, since it is such a big battle of the organ, there is no reason to do it so hastily, I am afraid there will be something behind this.

At this time, Wen Mo suddenly stood up, "I'll go to the square cave and take a look inside, you guys are waiting for me here." ”

We nodded, if we didn't figure out the situation inside this cave, sitting here was really unsteady. We saw Wenmo turning on the flashlight, bending down, and walking all the way to the inside of the square cave. But soon, Wenmo came back again, and we hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Where does it lead? ”

Wen Mo sat down next to the alcohol stove and said, "It's not passable, it's blocked by a lot of rocks and bricks. ”

The result of "this ......" surprised us a little, didn't these square holes lead to other places? So what's the point of building these square caves? I looked at the depths of the cave in confusion, and everyone else was confused. But Wen Mo's expression made me very uneasy, because on his face, I saw not confusion and incomprehension, but worry, deep worry. And according to my experience, if such an expression appeared on Wen Mo's face, it was estimated that something would happen soon, and it would never be a trivial matter.

I hurried to Wenmo's side, and although I knew that I was going to touch the nail nine times out of ten, I still asked cheekily, "Wenmo, did you think of something?" Tell us about it. ”

Wen Mo shook his head lightly and ignored me. I smacked my lips, in fact, I had already guessed this outcome, but I had to ask.

Wen Mo had no result, so I had to say to the second uncle: "Second uncle, what should we do next?" ”

The second uncle sighed and said, "For today's plan, we only have one way, and that is to wait." ”

"Wait?" I was a little confused, so I asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

The second uncle took out some compressed biscuits from his bag, first roasted them on the fire, then divided them into four portions, handed them to us, and he took a bite of it himself and said, "I think such a mechanism must be self-contained." ”

I also took a bite of the biscuit and asked, "Second uncle, you can make it clear, what is a self-closing mechanism?" ”
