Under the leadership of Chen Jianqiu, a group of people walked into the cave with torches.

They all passed by the "senior" who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, and Liu Dabao bowed deeply to him and said in half-baked English:

"Senior, I don't want to disturb, I hope you can bless us safely."

The black man behind him looked at him with a question mark on his face: "Hey, bro, this guy is an Indian, you speak English, can he understand?" ”

Liu Dabao looked dazed, feeling as if this black man was very reasonable.

"Sean! Can you go behind me? Behind him, Danny shouted the name of the black man, "I always feel like there is a person in front of me, and I am always afraid that I will step on the air." ”

Sean turned his head and showed his white teeth: "Yes, big man!" ”

A group of people lined up and walked along the narrow road.

The roads inside the cave are clearly treated and not natural.

If the treasures are, as Holmes has confirmed, they are the ones that fell into the lake hundreds of years ago on the "night of sorrow" of the Aztec kingdom.

It is certainly not possible to transport these treasures without a decent way.

Chen Jianqiu and Holmes led the way, and as they walked, they searched for those traces by the light of the torches.

Things went unexpectedly well, and even if they encountered a fork in the road, they could just follow the path where there were traces of man.

They traveled from cave to cave.

"It's really impressive!" Holmes, a geologist who was suffering from an occupational disease, held a torch and looked at the dome of the cave.

Only then did everyone realize that the dome of this cave was very high, and where the torches and flames could reach, they could faintly see those craggy stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

The shape of these stalactites, because of the deposition of thousands of years, is strange, and people have to sigh at the wonder of nature's hand of creation.

"I've heard for a long time that there are a lot of karst caves in southern New Mexico, and the sights inside are so spectacular that I didn't expect to see them in person today, and they are so beautiful that I can't describe them in words."

Holmes suppressed his excitement and whispered, as if he was afraid that a loud voice would wake up something in the cavern.

I don't know if it's because the journey ahead is too smooth, the geologist seems to be on a geological research trip, he looks left and right.

Chen Jianqiu almost thought that he was going to pick up the crane's beak hoe.

"That,,what,,master." Sean, at the back of the line, craned his neck and stared at the stalactites hanging from the top of the grotto, "You say, is there a chance that these things will fall." ”

In his eyes, these stalactites hung on his head like upside-down swords.

"Impossible, impossible, these stalactites have taken thousands of years, even 100,000 million years to gradually deposit, if they will fall, they will fall down a long time ago." Holmes shook his head, teaching blacks basic address knowledge.

"Unless ......"

Holmes wasn't done yet.

"Aha, you should have said that and it would have been over." The black man straightened up and hummed Dixie's minor.

And Danny heard the song from his hometown and hummed along with him.

Their singing, as if amplified, echoed in the cave, making the trip look more like a tour, relaxed and enjoyable.

But Chen Jianqiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he looked up at the stalactites of different sizes hanging upside down.

Holmes also turned around sharply, waving his hand at the people behind the group, and made a gesture of silence:

"Don't ~ sing ~ song ~ , the environment of the cave here has not been brought in by outsiders for at least a hundred years, and we have broken in, whether it is breathing or torches, it has brought changes to the environment here."

"Also, the structure of this cave is somewhat peculiar, if you are too loud, it resonates......"

The black man and Danny quickly shut their mouths.

However, it was too late.

Chen Jianqiu turned on the shooter state, and in his field of vision, he could already see that there were several stalactites at the root, and cracks had already appeared!

"Stand back!"

Chen Jianqiu roared in a low voice.

However, it is too late to say that it is too late.

A long, pointed stalactite had plummeted towards his place, heading for his head.

Chen Jianqiu took a step back and knocked Holmes behind him.

The stalactite smashed to the ground with a crunch and shattered.

This sound caused a chain reaction in the cave like thunder in the silence.

When Chen Jianqiu looked at the dome again, it was more than the original ones that were crumbling.

"Get out of this cave!"

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand back, the tail of the team changed to the leader, Sean was in front, Chen Jianqiu was behind, and he quickly withdrew in the direction he came.

But the cave seemed to have woken up, and unwilling to give them too many chances, and several long pointed stone stalactites fell.

The main composition of these "swords of Damocles" of various shapes is limestone, the chemical composition is calcium carbonate, brittle, but hard, falling from such a high dome, smashing whoever dies.

Sean ran fast, hiding by himself is one thing, not wanting to get in the way of those behind him is another.

"Sean, be careful!"

Teresa, who was in the middle of the line, suddenly shouted. For she saw a sharp stalactite smashing into the head of the black man.

Sean subconsciously raised his head, only to see that the tip of the stone was already less than a few meters away from him.

"It's over!"

Despair was written all over the faces of black people.

However, suddenly, a torch flew from the back of the line, crossed the heads of the people, and the light that crossed it formed a line, directly hitting the stalactite above Sean's head.

The stalactites broke, and the two fragments also deviated from their original tracks and landed in front of Sean.

"Run quickly, or you will be stoned to death and the corpse will block the road!" Chen Jianqiu's voice came from the rear of the team.

Sean didn't dare to let go of a fart, he knew that he owed the boss another life, so he quickly lowered his head and rushed towards the mouth of the cave.

The stalactites of the dome fell one after another, and more and more frequently.

The road is very narrow, and everyone has to escape while dodging the falling stone pillars overhead, which is a game of strength and luck.

Everyone did their best, flickering and moving, and the broken stone pillars shattered at their feet.

They haven't hit it yet, in addition to their own efforts, they also have to benefit from Chen Jianqiu, who was both a father and a mother at the end of the team.

He stared at the top of almost everyone in front of him.

As he ran, he picked up fragments of stalactites that had broken on the ground, one in his left hand and one in his right.

Whenever he saw that the person in front of the team was in danger, he threw the fragments in his hand with a throwing knife.

For a while, this cave was filled with the sound of stalactites breaking, the footsteps of everyone, and the echoes of various sounds.

A few minutes later, Sean and Dani had rushed out.

Liu Dabao, who was the third member of the team, had already run to the place near the exit of the cave, and he only needed to run a few more steps to break out of the cave.

However, at this time, behind him, on the top of the head of another Chinese guy, He Jiasheng, three stone pillars fell rapidly.

Chen Jianqiu's eyes were quick, and the two fragments that he had already pinched in his hands flew out.

Two stone pillars were shattered, and the third one still fell straight down.

"He Jiasheng!"

In a hurry, Chen Jianqiu broke off.

The young man named He Jiasheng was extremely alert, and when he heard the shout, he did not hesitate to pounce forward, and the general dodged the stone pillar.

He fell to the ground, and the narrow road on the ground was littered with gravel and debris, and his knees suddenly became a bloody blur.

He Jiasheng struggled to stand up.

However, Chen Jianqiu saw from behind that another stone pillar was loosened above his head.

Something is going to happen!

Liu Dabao heard the movement and quickly turned his head, he hesitated, stopped, and wanted to turn around and pull He Jiasheng.

"Don't look back! Run forward! ”

Chen Jianqiu broke off again.

Liu Dabao didn't react yet, but he saw Chen Jianqiu rushing towards him.

His young master had Holmes in one elbow and a torch in his hand.

When he passed by He Jiasheng, he dragged the young man from the ground with his other hand and carried it on his shoulder.

He walked like a fly, and the stone pillars shattered in the path behind him.

Liu Dabao was stunned.

When he reacted and was about to turn his head and continue to run forward, he had already been kicked by Chen Jianqiu on the buttocks.

Liu Dabao felt like he had flown out.

The four of them fell out of the cave together, and the two stone pillars smashed at the exit of the cave, where Liu Dabao was originally standing.

"Oh~ it's dangerous." Holmes stood up and patted the dust off his body.

He looked back at the cave, where the stalactites were still falling one after another, showing no sign of stopping.

Everyone is discouraged, both mentally and physically.

However, except for He Jiasheng's knee injury, everyone else is safe and sound.

"It's okay for everyone to be fine." Chen Jianqiu glanced at everyone, not only did he run out with two people, but he also didn't forget to pick up the torch that fell to the ground.

However, the road ahead of them with human traces could not be walked for the time being, and they had to find another way.
