Chapter 262: Lost in the Ancient Tomb(1/2)
Or Bai Chi, the wretched man, or even Lao Qian and Shen Li may have some connection with that existence... because several people have been chosen and have no power to escape what happened.
Looking at the three people, Bai Chi stood behind him and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The wretched man suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Chi and asked:
"Boss, can you guess what this is?"
Bai Chi was startled. It seemed that the wretched man had not figured out the mechanism. Before he could speak, Shen Li also squatted down, groped around the edge of the gap for a while and said:
"The bottom here should be empty, and the stone figure just now should have been originally molded on top."
Bai Chi nodded in agreement and added: "And we must have touched this mechanism just now, so the stone talent emerged from the ground silently!"
The wretched man didn't say anything, but gave the two of them a strange look. He squatted down next to Shen Li, used his hands to lift up the gravel on top, and knocked it.
"Dong dong dong..."
A dull echo sounded from below. Bai Chi and Shen Li's guesses were correct. The place below was indeed empty.
Liu Wei suddenly stood up. Seeing this, Bai Chi thought there was some danger and hurriedly backed away. Seeing Liu Wei's sudden movement, the wretched man also stood up and asked, "What's going on? Is there a ghost?"
Before Bai Chi could speak, he suddenly felt a strain on his feet, his center of gravity fell backwards, and his upper body hit the iron coffin.
The body in the coffin was still lying peacefully inside. Just as he was trying to stabilize his body, Bai Chi suddenly realized that something was wrong with the body.
After thinking about it, he quickly called Liu Wei over and asked him to shine a flashlight inside. For a moment, Bai Chi was stunned.
The corpse in the coffin showed a ferocious expression at some point.
Bai Chi had seen this expression before, it was the grimace in the eyes of the wild dog, and the grimace he saw in the bronze mirror at that time.
The wretched man screamed out. Liu Wei's face was very ugly, and he was almost pale now. Shen Li saw several men looking at the coffin blankly, and asked doubtfully: "What's so good about the corpse?"
The wretched man trembled and waved to Shen Li. When he walked to Bai Chi, Shen Li glanced at him and said, "What the hell? Is this corpse still pretending to be a corpse?"
Bai Chi didn't know what to say now, and Shen Li seemed determined not to give up until she reached the Yellow River. Seeing that Bai Chi didn't say anything, she walked straight towards the coffin.
Standing behind him, Bai Chi clearly saw Shen Li's body shake, and then she suddenly let out a hysterical exclamation.
The wretched man reacted very quickly. He suddenly reached out and covered Shen Li's mouth. At the same time, he looked around nervously. When he saw that there was no movement, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I don't think we can stay here for too long. The appearance of this expression means that we are about to face danger."
Bai Chi didn't say anything, Liu Wei nodded and said:
"Now the back road has been blocked. If we want to go out, we have to take the other way on the fork in the road!"
Suddenly, Bai Chi came back to his senses, shook his head and frowned and said:
"No, this road is already full of dangers. If we choose another one, I don't know what kind of dangers will arise."
This road was chosen by Bai Chi. At that time, Liu Wei also made the same choice at the fork in the road. But we have come here. No matter whether the decision is right or wrong, we must keep going all the way.
Bai Chi didn't want to go back. If they saw the corpse soaked in the water with such an expression, they would go crazy.
Bai Chi shook his head gently. The matter had come to this point and he could no longer retreat. Obviously Bai Chi was not the only one to have this idea. The wretched man seemed to have thought of the same place as Bai Chi. He looked ahead and said:
"If the bottom of that mechanism is empty, can we go down from that place?"
Liu Wei walked over with a flashlight in hand, looked at the size of the gap and said:
"It should be fine. It's half a meter in diameter. It's more than enough for one person to get in."
When a few people followed, they were troubled. If this stone slab could bear the weight of the stone man, the surface layer should be very thick. There is no tool to pry it open now.
Just when he was feeling worried, the wretched man suddenly said: "Why don't we use our hands!"
Bai Chi shook his head and objected: "No, we can't move it with our strength."
Shen Li also said at this time: "Then should we look for the mechanism here, maybe there is a possibility of letting it go down!"
Liu Wei said: "I'm afraid this is the only method that works now. Why don't we look for it here."
After speaking, Liu Wei walked towards the coffin. At first, the four people were moving around the iron coffin, and it was at that time that this thing appeared.
In other words, the device that triggers the mechanism must be around the iron coffin.
Liu Wei should be able to handle it on his own. Bai Chi, Naughty Man, and Shen Li are determined to stand at the agency's position. If a sudden danger occurs, the three of them should be able to withstand it.
Liu Wei searched there for a long time without any clue. When he came back, he shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Bai Chi slowly recalled the scene from the appearance to the rise of the stone man. During this period, the few people did not touch anything.
Wait! When I saw the wretched man coming, there was no movement! Does that mean that the stone man quietly rose from the ground at that time?
With this idea in mind, Bai Chi hurriedly grabbed the flashlight from Liu Wei and ran towards the place where he was just now. After looking around for a long time, he still didn't see anything. Just when Bai Chi was about to go back, his feet suddenly bumped and he used the flashlight. Looking down, I saw a slightly raised stone standing on my feet.
Bai Chi was startled at first, and then jumped up in a hurry. This weird movement immediately attracted the attention of the wretched man. He was about to walk towards Bai Chi, when suddenly there was a strange "creak" sound from Liu Wei's feet.
The wretched man hurriedly turned around again, and Shen Li and Liu Wei took two steps back in unison.
Bai Chi followed and walked over, and saw that the stone slab that had been blocking the bottom had slowly sunk down, and a bottomless hole appeared in front of their eyes.
"Do you want to go down?"
Liu Wei was very experienced in this and immediately knew that the road below was a secret passage:
"If we go down from here, we might be able to find a way out."
"Is there a rope?"
The wretched man raised his hand and took a breath, rubbing it while asking.
"We ran out of them when we entered the abyss!"
Bai Chi shook his head and expressed his helplessness. If there was a rope now, the power to go down would be very strong, but now there is no way.
Shen Li suddenly said: "How about we turn on the mechanism again and go down one by one?"
Liu Wei shook his head and said:
"No, it's a miracle that this mechanism can be activated a second time. I'm worried that when it starts again, there will be no quicksand in the middle, and the road will be blocked."
The wretched man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although he had never encountered this problem, he still felt scared after Liu Wei said this. If he happens to be that person, damn it, he can't go up and down, and he will only have to hold it back.
die.
The wretched man was a little scared, but he also felt uneasy if he was dragged along like this. The shaft now looked like the dry shaft when several people entered Ziying's tomb. There should be a space for a person to stand below, otherwise there would be no way to activate and create this mechanism.
Now what lies ahead is unknown, and what lies behind makes people afraid to go back. I am afraid that only this cave is relatively safe.
Baichi has pinned his hopes to a certain extent. There are at most coffins or rice dumplings on the road below, which is no big deal. Even if it is a closed space, it doesn't matter.
But now Baichi is not only involved in one person's affairs, but also involves Liu Wei and the others. All these have vague signs of their own existence. Baichi doesn't know what will happen when he goes down the shaft with them.
Now is not the end, because it is the beginning...
This sentence kept echoing in Bai Chi's mind like a nightmare. If it really was the beginning, would the starting time be calculated from the moment he entered the shaft?
Baobao Bei did not dare to tell Liu Wei and others about this matter. This was not because he did not believe them, but because he did not want them to doubt and worry too much.
Shen Li's nerves were on the verge of collapse, and she didn't know if this incident would cause a certain amount of stimulation to her.
Although the wretched man had a close relationship with Bai Chi, it was not because Bai Chi doubted him, because Bai Chi had a vague feeling that the wretched man had his own motives for coming to this place. Because the wretched man came to the cave alone and did not intend to be with him.
Although they came together by accident, the mental pressure at that time was also very high.
As for Liu Wei, it's even harder to say. He was the leader of the team thirty years ago. Although he didn't really recall these things, if Bai Chi's words were spoken, it would most likely remind him of some things.
Bai Chi didn't listen to a word of what several people said during this period. When he came back to his senses, he saw the wretched man looking at me. Avoiding his eyes, he looked towards the dark shaft and said, "How about we do this
Slide down!"
Liu Wei was stunned for a while and said doubtfully:
"I wonder if there is any danger down there."
Bai Chi said: "Now is no longer the time to talk about this."
The wretched man said in surprise: "Boss, are you really going down?"
Bai Chi didn't want to pay attention to him at all. It wasn't that Bai Chi was too suspicious, but that any one of these people might be suspected. Even Shen Li, whom they had just met not long ago, was the same.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Chi chuckled and said: "If you are afraid, I will be the first to go down." After saying that, he planned to bend his body.
Liu Wei suddenly pulled Bai Chi. Bai Chi looked back at Liu Wei's eyes. Liu Wei frowned and said:
"Is this a decision you made?"
Here's the question again. Why do you make your own decision every time you choose a direction? Although the wretched man said that Bai Chi has zero experience in this market, it's not like this...
Looking at Liu Wei, Bai Chi said inexplicably calmly: "What would happen if it was my choice?"
Liu Wei was stunned, as if he didn't expect Bai Chi to say such a thing. After thinking about it, he said:
"If it's your decision, I'll be the first to go down."
Bai Chi looked at Liu Wei in surprise, seeing that he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. Then he looked at the wretched man, nodded slightly to Bai Chi and said, "It means that if it is really your decision, I will go down in front of you."
."
Bai Chi didn't know what else to say, so he shook his head and said:
"No, every decision made is not very ideal. This time I feel that there is a greater danger than before waiting for us. I can't let you take risks for me because of my own choices. What's more, your skills are far worse than mine.
Yes, I can protect myself!"
