Chapter 51: The River Goes Retrograde
I couldn't use any strength at all, so I was always carried by Brother Qiang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info's body was in severe pain, but the pain in this body couldn't resist the fatigue and sleepiness, and I fell asleep deeply.
When I woke up, Brother Qiang was feeding me water, and Diao Nan didn't know where he went. I had a terrible pain in my body, especially in my head and arms. It's disgusting, and if it weren't for the fact that I didn't have an empty stomach and no food, I would have suspected some black-hearted merchant who sold us expired food. My arm was already swollen as thick as my thigh, and it hurt so much that I thought to myself, and I was lucky that I didn't lose parts.
Brother Qiang told me that my arm should not be broken, and the possibility of a fractured bone is more likely, and I should have a concussion.
I endured the pain and asked Brother Qiang if he had lost the golden seal, and Brother Qiang frowned, "You are good at everything, but you are too greedy for money." At this time, it's good to be alive, and I'm still thinking about the golden seal. Sigh, knowing that my character can't be changed, "Don't worry, when you go back, you can sleep with your arms every day." ”
I asked Brother Qiang to show it to me, and he reluctantly showed it to me. The golden seal is very chic, very heavy, and it is estimated to be a solid golden lump. There are some ghost painting talismans engraved with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing under the golden seal, which are completely incomprehensible.
Brother Qiang told me that these words are very likely to be Xia Seal, which is older than the age of the oracle bone inscription, and no one will understand it, these are naturally told to him by Diao Nan, who is half-incomprehensible. The four sides are not very smooth, it may be that the technical problems at that time could not be polished, or some wear and tear over the years is also very normal. There are some black spots evenly divided on all sides, and a careful look at the rubbing shows that these black spots are formed by mud stuffed into the grooves, with only one word, two horizontals. I don't know what the oracle bone inscription or even the Xia seal script means, but it may be the same as in modern times. The most peculiar thing is the relief on it, I can hardly imagine that people thousands of years ago could have done such a high degree of skill, but it looks like a modern product. There is a dragon-headed lizard above, which is vivid.
I pointed to the dragon head lizard and asked Brother Qiang, do you still think this is a Eyelid Beast now? Brother Qiang laughed twice, "I don't care what he is, I just know that I can sell it for money when I go back, and if someone wants it, it will be at a high price." ”
"Why is this golden seal slimy? You still wipe things to prevent oxidation?" I put down the golden seal and looked at my hand curiously. There was water and oil on my hands, this was obviously not my sweat, I shook my head self-deprecatingly, can I still make Jin Xi sweat?
"We don't understand why, Diao Nan said that there seems to be a piece of ice in the golden seal, and the heat of his hand makes it melt, and the temperature of his hand flows out of water. "Brother Qiang put away the golden seal and handed me something to eat. Recently, this time has passed day and night, and I don't know where I lost my watch, I don't know what time it is, and I don't know how many days I have been in.
After about half an hour, Diao Nan came back. When he saw that I was awake, he greeted my body and talked about it.
There was an underground river not far from where we were, and Diao Nan walked a little upstream, but did not find water seeping out of the cracks in the rocks. The most important thing is that the water temperature is not very cold. He deduced that it was probably the river outside that poured water in, flowed deep into the ground, and then penetrated into the ground, and if it was groundwater, it would be cooler. So it's a safer way for us to get out.
If this road doesn't work, then it can only be the way for warriors to break through the armored corpse. We have lost our firearms, and we have lost the greatest reliance of modern tomb robbers.
In this tomb, there are not only three of us now, Yu Tianyi and Cong Zuguang alone, and that person has never appeared again, so it is not good to say whether there are others.
I am sick now, and I can't estimate the safety of others, but I just hope that Yu Tianyi won't have an accident.
In order to get out as soon as possible, Diao Nan rested for a while, and we walked upstream along the underground river that Diao Nan said.
The river is not wide, only five or six meters, the river is relatively deep, and the water flow rate is very slow. In this way, the three of them drove forward one foot deep and one foot shallow on the stone wall by the river, and from time to time stepped on the air and fell into the water.
The three of us were walking with difficulty, Brother Qiang patted Diao Nan and whispered, "Bear Paw, you have good eyesight, look what it is." "There was something floating on the water in the distance, and although it was not big, it was still very abrupt on the unusually calm water. But after all, it's too far away to see clearly. The flashlight also has no batteries to replace, and it has always maintained a half-dead glow.
After walking for a while, I realized that it was a rabbit, but what was disgusting was that the rabbit was crawling all over the corpse hammer armor. This kind of thing has been accompanied by corpses, and there is some change in our hearts, maybe there will be a few zongzi on it.
My heart was going up and down, and Diao Nan said, "There is the sound of water in front, let's hurry up, we may be at the place." ”
There is a boulder in front of them, and the three of them climb up to rest for a while, and here you can see the end of the underground river, a small lake of several hundred square meters. The water temperature here is high and the three of us don't feel cold.
There were a few dead branches floating in the small lake, and this kind of thing would definitely not be something in this, which meant that there would indeed be an opening leading to the outside. But the key problem is that there are a lot of corpse hammer armor in this small lake, although these corpse hammer armor are relatively small, the largest one is only five or six centimeters, and the small one may be one or two centimeters.
Brother Qiang saw this thing and his legs and stomach were spinning, and now there is a deep hole on the leg of the gauze, after a while of trekking in the water, I am afraid it is going to be inflamed.
"This place should be used to cultivate larvae, if the number is small, we can still break in, so many once we go crazy, it is estimated that we will become the feces of the corpse hammer armor. Diao Nan wanted to change the dressing for Brother Qiang's injuries, but Brother Qiang waved his hand, indicating that he would not need to go into the water in a while.
I estimate that Brother Qiang's injuries will definitely have a certain degree of infection, his body temperature has risen significantly, and his physical strength is not as good as before, "Then what should we do?" ”
Brother Qiang nodded, and smiled at Diao Nan, "I'm fine, while I can still take care of myself, let's break through, my life should have been lost more than ten years ago, and I am content to live now." ”
We rearranged one of our backpacks and threw all the excess weight on the stone platform. The rations on my body were only for two days, and the compressed biscuits that had been on my body for more than a day were also put down. If we can't get out, we have to prepare some back-up for ourselves.
"Turn off the flashlight. Originally, our flashlight was dim and half-dead glowing yellow, but Diao Nan obviously sensed something, said a word of caution in our ears, and then let us go into the water and hide behind the stones.
It didn't take long for the sound of water not far away, one deep and one shallow, clearly walking towards us.
