Chapter 167 Ice Lotus
What I said is completely true.
But Ma Rulong didn't listen, but said viciously: "Then I can't control it. If he dares to do something in the tomb, then I will kill you first! No one can try to monopolize the things here."
After saying that, he began to direct the man in the suit to organize all kinds of equipment and continue to go to the tomb, which made my teeth itch with anger.
Damn it, what do you mean if the fourth girl dares to take action, she will kill me first?
I provoked whoever, why did everything happen to me? At this moment, I was holding a bad breath in my chest, and I almost choked myself to death.
The man in the suit over there has skillfully fastened a sharp flying claw hook to his waist, rearranged the ropes one by one and distributed them to us. At the same time, he threw a large bag of food and water to Ma Rulong and Kathleen, and wheeled them around.
When it came time for Zhang Sanpao and I, we were only given two pitiful compressed biscuits.
"Mr. Ma, is this a bit too much?" I said looking at the compressed biscuits in my hand.
He wants us to be cannon fodder and doesn't give us enough to eat. Ma Rulong obviously doesn't regard me and Zhang Sanpao as human beings.
"I don't know how long this tomb passage is. There isn't much food left, so let's make do with it..." Ma Rulong said with narrowed eyes.
"Then why did you divide so much?" I said unconvinced.
Unexpectedly, before I finished my sentence, the man in a suit threw a biscuit over my face, hit me on the head, and laughed loudly: "It's good to eat some, now, I'll reward you with another one! Take it."
Already."
"Okay, okay." I took a deep breath, and with great shame, I picked up the biscuits on the ground and stuffed them into my pocket. I secretly vowed that my grandson would pay back this debt a thousand times a hundred times.
We have now walked twenty or thirty meters on the ice road. Looking around, there are more and more ice blocks on the surrounding stone walls. Under our feet, there is white snow with a depth of about ten centimeters. When we step on it, there is a rustling sound, which makes us think
It's like walking into a huge cold storage.
Although the temperature has not dropped, due to the accumulation of cold air, you can still see curls of white mist when you breathe.
Just when Zhang Sanpao and I tied the rope and were about to continue walking down, Ma Rulong grabbed the rope on my body and said to the man in the suit: "Madman, you are in front this time!"
The man in the suit nodded immediately, then took out his shining paper knife and touched the stone wall to explore the way ahead.
The tomb passage we are currently in is very narrow, and the ground is very slippery, so it is not convenient to use the Desert Eagle with huge recoil. The man in the suit obviously understands this reason, so he replaced it with a paper knife.
In this way, when encountering danger, he can respond immediately!
Although I don't understand why Ma Rulong didn't let me and Zhang Sanpao be cannon fodder this time, it can be considered a good thing for us. At least we don't have to worry about the ice under our feet.
However, as I walked down, I found that Zhang Sanpao did not feel at all relaxed because the man in the suit was opening the way in front. Instead, as we went deeper, his expression became more solemn.
I really don’t understand what Zhang Sanpao is worried about. I originally planned to communicate with him, but I found that Ma Rulong has been paying attention to our every move from behind. Even Kathleen’s eyes seemed to be glancing at us intentionally or unintentionally.
.
I knew that if I wanted to ask now, it would definitely be impossible, and it would expose the secret of "not touching the ice", so I had no choice but to keep my head down and follow the man in the suit down.
After walking for about ten minutes, the light in the tomb passage suddenly became very bright. Sometimes I was even stung by the light and couldn't open my eyes.
The man in the suit and Ma Rulong also discovered this, and they slowed down in unison. After all, this was too abnormal. Logically speaking, the tomb passage of the ancient tomb should get darker the further you go, because at a certain distance, the light fades. No light can come in, even if you turn on the emergency light, the light will be absorbed, but the strong light in front of you illuminates the entire tomb passage as if it is broad daylight.
I glanced around and found that there were no permanent lights or skylights in the tomb passage. There was obviously only one possibility. These dazzling lights all came from the ice beneath our feet.
"These ice layers seem to be getting thicker and thicker..." I said a little uneasily.
"Hey, little boss, be careful of the slippery road." Zhang Sanpao smiled extremely slyly, as if to remind me that the danger is ahead.
"Uncle." At this moment, Kathleen suddenly shouted from behind.
"Little girl, what did you call me?" Zhang Sanpao turned his head in confusion and looked at Kathleen, who looked like a doll.
"What a wretched uncle!"
"Uh... well, girl, let's see if we can discuss and change the name." Zhang Sanpao's face turned red from suppressing his emotions.
"Okay, let me think about it." Kathleen, who was holding a lollipop, thought seriously for a moment, and then showed a wicked smile: "That's the old gangster."
Hearing Kathleen's innocent and funny name, I couldn't help laughing. I patted Zhang Sanpao on the shoulder: "Sanpao, it seems that you can't live without your obscene image..."
Zhang Sanpao also shook his head helplessly.
"Uncle Jingdang Cat, can you please stop interrupting?" Seeing Zhang Sanpao and I laughing, Kathleen blinked and said, "What I just wanted to say is, uncle, you seem to care about the ice under our feet. Layer."
"Look what you said, girl, this place is so slippery, of course I have to remind everyone to be careful! If you fall somewhere, you won't be able to find a hospital." Zhang Sanpao explained.
"Really?" Kathleen asked.
"Of course." Zhang Sanpao said without changing his expression.
"Humph! Only a three-year-old child would listen to your nonsense." Kathleen wiped her nose angrily.
Just when Katherine was about to continue questioning, a man in a suit suddenly shouted from the front: "Mr. Ma! There seems to be something here."
Hearing the cry of the man in a suit, we were all stunned, then we picked up our weapons and quickly moved forward.
The man in the suit was not far from us, so we found his location quickly.
Under the light of torches, we discovered that many strange things appeared on the surrounding ice.
The reason why it is called a thing is because we are not sure what it is yet. Its appearance is like a lotus that we usually see. The milky white petals are one next to another and densely packed together, but the stamens are It is translucent, and its size is several times smaller than that of a lotus flower, about the size of a palm.
