Chapter 242: Professional Demolition Master
There were a total of thirty-five corpses around the perimeter.
Although all the corpses were badly corroded, they almost turned into black bone slag, and even in a few years, there may not be any bone slag left.
Although the remains were heavily corroded, each one was intact.
From the location of these corpses, it can be accurately deduced the posture of these Captain Jinjin at the time of death.
"Uncle, do you want to know how these Captain Touching Gold died back then?"
Xing Chang next to him seemed to see Xu Tianchuan's inner thoughts.
Xu Tianchuan didn't answer, just nodded silently, and after a pause in the middle, he spoke: "These gold-touching captains are absolutely extraordinary, maybe they can take out one of them, and they are all more capable than any of us." I guess that since they have the ability to set up an exorcism circle here, they definitely have the ability to escape from here as well, rather than being trapped alive here by the water ghouls outside. ”
Xu Tianchuan's speculation was resonated and agreed with by Xing Chang: "In other words, in addition to the possibility of being trapped here, it is likely that these Jin-touching captains are in danger of force majeure." ”
Xu Tianchuan nodded: "If you look closely at the location of these corpses, although the surface looks very chaotic, everyone is facing the same direction, and they are also making a gesture that seems to be the same!" ”
After careful inspection just now, Xu Tianchuan had already discovered some strange things from the location of these corpses.
"It looks like ...... The action of pulling the rope outward! ”
Under Xu Tianchuan's prompting, Xing Chang deliberately studied it carefully, and it was indeed as Xu Tianchuan said, each corpse was not only facing the same direction, but also all of them had bent arms, as if they were grabbing a rope and dragging it out, and more than 30 people were also divided into three groups, each group had a straight central axis, and there were several other people standing around.
"That's right! That's pretty much what it means! ”
Xu Tianchuan raised his head and looked at the slit on the left hand side of the cave.
The corpses I just said are all focused in this direction.
Why did all these golden lieutenants look at this place at the same time before they died?
Could there be some hint of this?
For this hunch, Xu Tianchuan's heart is very strong.
On the surface, there is nothing special about this slit on the right hand side at the end of the cave, it is all rock, and there is a slit in the middle that naturally cracks from top to bottom, and the gap is also very narrow, about two fingers wide, shining the light pillar of the miner's lamp, and the inside is less than twenty centimeters deep.
Prior to this, Xu Tianchuan had already carefully studied this slit, and there was nothing special about it.
There are many, many more naturally cracking cave slits like this one in other places, and some of them even seem wider and deeper than this one.
"Shopkeeper Xu, since you can't see anything famous, do you want to try another blast?"
Jiao San on the side looked at Xu Tianchuan and frowned and asked.
In these years, I am afraid that nothing is more simple and crude, easier to solve the problem than blasting, and there is no doubt about it in terms of technical content.
If it were normal times, Xu Tianchuan would definitely veto Jiao San's proposal.
But this situation is different now.
It's a real way to try.
"Pay attention to the amount of blasting!"
Xu Tianchuan responded briefly with a serious expression.
"Shopkeeper Xu, don't worry, this is my specialty!"
Originally, Jiao San just said this tentatively and casually, because every time he proposed a blast, he was rejected by Xu Tianchuan without hesitation, but he didn't expect Xu Tianchuan to agree this time.
Jiao San felt that he finally had the opportunity to give full play to his strengths and brush up on his sense of existence.
Jiao San seemed to have carefully studied the crack in the rock, and planned the effect of the blasting in his heart, and he still had the demeanor of a blasting master.
After some mental planning, Jiao San took out the explosive canisters from his backpack, stuffed them into the crevices of the rocks, arranged a total of ten explosive canisters from top to bottom, and then put the leads together, and then connected an additional five-meter-long lead wire to facilitate the time reserved for retreat.
Although Jiao San hadn't carried out such a professional blasting for a long time, he was still skilled in connecting the leads.
"Shopkeeper Xu, Master Xing, try to retreat as far as possible!"
After all the work was prepared, Jiao San said a word loudly, and at the same time took out a metal lighter.
Just in case, Xu Tianchuan deliberately took out the diamond umbrella to avoid the debris from splashing around.
Jiao San lit the fuse, and the three of them immediately hid behind the King Kong umbrella more than ten meters away.
Rumble!
With the rapid burning of the lead, ten explosive canisters ignited at the same time, and the violent explosion sounded, and the power of the explosion was very huge, and even Xu Tianchuan felt that the entire cave was violently shaken.
Not only was the huge shock wave like a stormy wave, and the rubble from the blasting was like a bullet flying, but even some of the rocks above the cavern were shaken and fell down under the strong blasting.
Fortunately, Xu Tianchuan took out the Vajra umbrella as a shield in advance to resist, otherwise these shattered stones that were blown away alone would have caused a lot of lethality to everyone.
"Brother Jiao, this is the amount of blasting you budgeted for? You're trying to bury us all here! ”
Xing Chang looked at Jiao San and couldn't help but exhale loudly.
Jiao San looked at the blasting effect, and he was also confused.
Obviously, the effect of this blasting far exceeded Jiao San's budget and psychological expectations.
Could it be that I haven't played explosives for a long time, and the level has dropped?
This made Jiao San embarrassed and ashamed, thinking that he would finally have a chance to show his talent, but he didn't expect to almost die.
"It's not San'er's fault for this"
But at this time, Xu Tianchuan seemed to have discovered something from it, and with a solemn expression, he said something to Jiao San and made a round.
In fact, this is not a round of helping Jiao San, because it is indeed not Jiao San's blasting level that has declined, but everyone who has made a wrong judgment on the rock mass at the end of the cave just now.
"You see that these rocks that were blown out are very large, and they are all sparse, according to normal circumstances, the ten explosive canisters used by San'er just now will definitely not be able to cause such a great power!"
Xu Tianchuan looked at the large rocks that were blown out in the blasting around him, the reason why Jiao San's blasting could be unexpectedly powerful was probably because the stones here were very brittle, so the power of the explosion would be great.
However, when Jiao San was blasting just now, he had carefully observed the hardness of the stone before choosing the amount of blasting.
Then there is only one remaining possibility.
"The end of this cave is artificially sealed with rocks, and because the underwater silt adheres to it for a long time, it looks like the whole cave! Just now, San'er mistakenly thought that it was a whole mountain rock, and it was also based on the amount of blasting explosives used on a whole mountain rock! Because it is artificially blocked by rocks piece by piece, the whole is loose, so that the blasting can produce such a powerful power and blast out so much rubble! ”
Xu Tianchuan's bright eyes were full of wisdom.
This is also the only plausible explanation.
"Shopkeeper Xu is right! If it's really a whole mountain of rocks, with the amount of blasting I budget, I'll blast a hole three or five feet deep at most! ”
Jiao San hurriedly followed behind, anxious to justify his blasting technique, and at the same time looked towards the blasting site with wide eyes.
The smoke from the blasting mixed with the dust from the crushing rocks.
However, because the air here was too humid, the smoke and dust quickly dispersed as the three of them spoke.
Look at the end of the cavern ahead.
Under the blasting just now, a large hole nearly three meters deep was blown out.
At this time, there are still rocks on it that fall from time to time, or directly go down to the red boom and collapse partially.
Xu Tianchuan guessed correctly at all.
This is not the real end of the cave, nor is it a dead end, but a man-made blockade with rocks, the blasting blasted open the outermost side of the silt layer, inside which you can clearly see the pile-up of rocks of different sizes, and it is just a simple pile-up blocking, without any mud and clay.
"Who blocked the road here with rocks?"
Xu Tianchuan couldn't help but have a huge question mark in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Is this captain who came to rob the tomb and touch the gold with the Youtian Order?"
"And what is the purpose of their operation?"
"Or is it a blockade by the owner of the tomb?"
"If this is really the case, with the ability of this team to touch the gold, more than thirty people will not be able to see that this dead end is blocked with rocks? And still trapped alive here? ”
All of these possibilities have great contradictions and unbelievable doubts.
Xu Tianchuan scratched his scalp vigorously, it seems that this is another mystery that is difficult to unravel.
