Chapter 519: Waiting for Death to Come
The sound of the door closing was only noticed by Shan Na alone. This is due to the fact that he has spent a lot of time in the jungle, and his ears are trained to be as sensitive as a police dog, even in very distant underground passages, and even the most small sounds coming from the underground passages cannot escape his ears. Because of this, it was plotted by the senior monk. Fortunately, Bai Lang and the others came very quickly and carried out emergency rescue, so that his life was worry-free.
However, the great monk had already closed the stone door. Bai Lang and Qiu Laohu used all their strength to push, but they couldn't let Shimen move.
Next, they plan to blow open the stone door with the gunpowder of a pistol bullet. However, if you want to blow up such a strong stone gate with so little gunpowder, it is possible to only make a burst of explosion, which will not affect the stone gate in the slightest.
Bai Lang and Qiu Laohu glanced at each other, both of them looking disappointed. At this moment, a burst of laughter came from a very distant place. They raised the lamp in their hands, shone upward, and peeked through the small hole in the stone door, and the ugly and intimidating face of the great monk appeared.
The senior monk laughed loudly for a long time with his mouth wide open, and his snow-white teeth were exposed. After a while, it was spoken there again in the ancient Mongolian language.
"Shanna, what the hell is that big bad guy talking about?"
"He said that we would be very happy to find these treasures, but they would not be able to satisfy their hunger. When we are about to starve to death, these jewels are of no use to us! ”
"Oh!" They glared at it through gritted teeth.
The senior monk laughed wildly for a long time, and after squirting out a mouthful of phlegm, he retracted his head. After that, I didn't hear anything anymore.
He must have gotten out of the underpass.
The two of them picked up Shanna and returned to the place where the jewels were kept. Shi Lili and Zhong Qian had been waiting there. When they heard that the stone door was closed, their faces immediately turned pale. However, after thinking about it, it was useless to be in a hurry, so he immediately calmed down and helped take care of Danna.
The four of them were silent, and sat beside Shan Na with a gloomy face.
The faces of the five people were very yellow by the light. Everyone knew that it was impossible to escape, so they all waited for death with gloomy expressions.
"Are you alright?"
Bai Lang stood up and asked Danna.
"It's fine." Shan Na shook his head.
Everyone sat there quietly in a daze, with countless treasures beside them. However, if you can't escape from this hole, these treasures are absolutely the same as those clods of earth and sand.
At this time, they didn't care about these treasures, and they didn't resent the cruel and ruthless monks. All people, when they are about to die, may be in a very calm mood, without desire or resentment, but with a beautiful and pure sentiment that is close to God.
Bai Lang and Qiu Laohu picked up some diamonds and pearls beside them, and threw them out arbitrarily, like children throwing stones on the beach, thinking nothing in their brains.
"Qiu Laohu, the two of us actually came together in a strange and unfortunate situation. In the past, we worked together, but today, we are very good friends. ”
"If you can't say that, how can you be a good friend? I am your subordinate, and I beg you to take me and let me be your subordinate forever. ”
"Forever...... Haha, we'll only survive for an hour or two. Bai Lang couldn't stop laughing.
At this moment, one of the five lamps suddenly went out, probably because the lamp ran out of oil. Bai Lang picked up the lamp, held it to his ear and shook it a few times, said "oops", and tilted his head to think for a while:
"The oil in the lamp didn't dry up...... It may be due to a lack of oxygen. ”
In this relatively small cave, there are five people sitting, and of course the oxygen will gradually decrease, but the carbon dioxide will continue to increase, and the lights will naturally go out.
"However, now it's just a light out, what the hell is going on?"
The lamp was placed on the side of the stone wall next to the right-hand side. Bai Lang also took another lamp, put it in that place, lowered his head and observed for a while, and the lamp of this lamp also became dangling. If you look at the other three lights, they are all straight. It's amazing! Bai Lang stared at the lamp without blinking. After a while, the lamp fell sideways, flashed a few times, and then went out.
Bai Lang's eyes immediately released a glimmer of hope. He approached the stone wall on his right, pressed his ear to it, and listened to something without moving.
He felt a stream of air blowing upwards from under the stone wall, though it was as thin as a thread.
"Qiu Laohu, come here!" After Qiu Laohu heard this, he climbed up.
"Put your hands here!"
"Uh-huh,...... There's a little wind blowing up from below! ”
Bai Lang put the other three lamps together, looked under the stone wall, and searched carefully, and sure enough, he found a crack under the stone wall, and there were many green mosses distributed around the crack. Shirou dug out some of the moss with his fingers, and immediately a thick ring was revealed.
"Ah, it's a stone ring!"
They both cried out in unison.
Bai Lang took out the knife from his body, dug up the moss and dirt, and the stone ring was all revealed.
Part of the slab is a stone door, and the handle on the stone door is this stone ring. If this handle had been iron or bronze, it would have been rusty a long time ago. Because it's made of stone, you can pull it up as you like by digging out the dirt around it.
The two of them tugged at the stone ring, but the stone door did not move, for the stone door and the surrounding stone crevices were also filled with dirt. They dug up the dirt with their knives and pulled it in unison, making a squeaking sound. Shimen really moved.
So, a gust of wind blew up from below. The two of them pulled harder, and the stone door was pulled up. Immediately, a square hole appeared in front of them, and the hole was also very dark.
I took the lamp and looked at it, and found that there were steps inside, and the wind kept blowing from the bottom to the top. This means that the outside can be reached through this hole.
"There's hope!"
As soon as they found hope, they all immediately became excited. Bai Lang, Qiu Laohu, and Shan Na all grabbed a lot of diamonds and put them in their clothes, and then walked down the steps. At the end of the stairs, there is another underground passage. This underpass has two forks that lead in opposite directions.
"We should go against the wind, because the wind must have come in through the exit." After speaking, Bai Lang led the way at the front.
"Yay! See the light!" Zhong Qian shouted excitedly.
Very far ahead, there was a very dim light, what seemed to be moonlight. "That must be the exit!"
The five of them ran towards it excitedly. After running for a while, a scent of grass entered the nostrils. Continue to walk forward, and you will come to a place as smooth as water, which is the exit. Everyone rushed out of the cave with joy.
