C39 Dead-end(part iii)
The thunderous roar shook everyone's eardrums. The violent shaking sounded like the shaking of the mountains and the shaking of the earth. It seemed as if the entire mountain might collapse at any moment.
"Brother Qian, quickly come out!" From the other side of the passage came the urgent shout of the monk.
However, Wang Qian did not rush over. Instead, he turned his head to take a look, only to see the big hole in the ceiling immediately collapsing, and a huge mudstone smashing down. Wang Qian dispelled the idea of jumping out of the hole.
After entering the passage, Wang Qian ran frantically. He was constantly hit by the falling stones, which smashed right into his head.
Fortunately, with the strength of his body, the debris wasn't enough to knock him out. However, if he were to be buried here, the weight of the dirt on his head would be more than a thousand kilograms. Even if he didn't die, he would still suffocate to death.
After an explosion, Wang Qian flew out of the cloud of dust, and looked at the collapsed tunnel behind him with some lingering fear.
"You brat, you're pretty lucky." Liu Hao said in a strange tone.
Wang Qian shot a glance at him. This guy really wanted her to die.
"Looks like this tomb is also very dangerous. We still have to be careful." Returning to the stone room, Zhou Shen did not question Wang Qian and Han Feilin this time. He pointed to the left passage and said: "There are only three paths, let's try each of them."
No one had any objections, and this time, it was Zhou Shen who led the way. The three of them slowed down their pace to prevent any accidents, and in a few minutes, they reached the end of the passage.
There was another stone chamber in front of him, but it was empty. The stone chamber seemed to have been broken after being dug out, and the floor was not as good as the place they had walked through before. There were no slabs, and the walls were uneven, not even a gouge could be seen.
"Well, it looks like this isn't the main tomb." Zhou Shen helplessly shook his head, but just as he was about to return, he was surprised. "Where's Liu Wang?"
"Hmm?" Liu Hao looked left and right, and said in shock: "He was right behind me just now!"
Because the narrow passageway could only accommodate one person, everyone was so focused on guarding against traps that not even one person was missing.
Even Wang Qian felt a chill behind his back. Of course he did not believe that there were any ghosts or things like that, but his five senses, even if it was a bug crawling on the side, he still could not feel that Liu Wang had lost something else.
"Go back and look!" Zhou Shen raised his spirits for a hundred and twenty percent, and took the lead to run back.
But even when he returned to the stone room, he did not find any trace of Liu Wang. Liu Hao called out a few times, but he could only faintly hear the echoes from the two tunnels.
"Wh-what is this …" Han Feilin subconsciously moved closer to them. Even someone like him, who was a Master Feng Shui, felt his scalp tingle.
At this time, Wang Qian's gaze landed on a rock pillar at the entrance of the passage. After staring for a few seconds, he walked over, picked up a rock, and threw it at the rock pillar.
The moment the block of dirt hit the stone brick, a loud noise was heard. The stone brick shook a little bit.
In the eyes of Han Feilin and the others, it had indeed swayed a little. But in Wang Qian's opinion, the stone brick was flipped 360 degrees at an extremely fast speed, and didn't make the slightest sound at all.
"Sss, the mechanism here …" couldn't help but be shocked. Even with the best technology in the world, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
The wisdom of the ancient people truly could not be underestimated.
"Brother Qian, what's wrong?" The monk asked in confusion.
Wang Qian explained seriously: "Look at the stone bricks on the ground, most of them are about the same size, but there are still some of them mixed together. "Don't step on it, or else …"
Wang Qian did not continue to explain, but walked over to the rock pillar and pressed it down.
The stone bricks were turned over, revealing a dark hole. Zhou Shen held up his flashlight and shone it down, and immediately swallowed his saliva.
He saw that the pit was four meters deep and there was a dark green liquid at the bottom. In the liquid, there was something submerged in it. Judging from its faint outline and the clothes that had yet to be corroded … This person was Liu Wang.
"Hope so!" Liu Hao lied down at the entrance of the cave and bitterly smashed the floor.
"Sigh, let's go." Zhou Shen sighed and comforted Liu Hao a little. Everyone could only continue their journey.
Other than Han Feilin, the few of them did not have much of an emotional fluctuation. Even Liu Hao could only curse rudely after a brief moment of grief, "If I don't make a fortune today, I won't have the face to go back and account for my wife and children!"
There were three tunnels, one was blocked, and the other was a bit of a mystery, as if it was not finished yet. All three of them had only one choice left, and this last path was even longer than the last two.
"Since there's a mechanism in this tomb, there's definitely more than one. Be careful." Zhou Shen warned as he paid attention to his feet.
However, he seemed to have thought too much into it. After walking for more than ten minutes, he did not encounter any more traps. The group of people had already arrived at a wider stone chamber.
"What kind of fork in the road is this!?" Liu Hao snorted, there were actually ten tunnels in front of him!
"Where do we go now?" The leading Zhou Shen was also stunned, there were so many tunnels, there must be some trick to it.
Wang Qian muttered to himself, "There's something wrong with this tomb …"
"Nonsense!" Liu Hao glared angrily, but was ignored by Wang Qian.
"I mean, the grave should only be half finished." Wang Qian continued.
"Oh? "What do you mean?" Han Feilin asked.
Wang Qian pinched his fingers and revealed a look of understanding, "Based on the time it took to build the tomb, it should have been built during the chaotic era. The war was still going on. Even if it was a noble king, he should not have been buried after he died. People like this should already be thinking about their future when they were still alive. Therefore, this tomb lord probably died young … At that time, war broke out everywhere, and even if he wanted to finish this tomb, he did not have those conditions. "
"So, you want to say that there are no burial objects here?" Liu Hao blushed his thick neck, as if Wang Qian was about to throw a shot at him.
"That won't be the case. No matter how chaotic the world is, or how bitter the lives of the people are, people at this level must pay attention to appearances." Although it might not be comparable to the peaceful times, it would still be enough for us to share. The only question now is, which path should we take? "Wang Qian pointed to the tunnel in front of them." It's actually said that there is a slim chance of survival. Thus, there was probably only one path out of these ten … to the main tomb chamber. "
"What if we go the wrong way?" The monk asked.
Wang Qian shook his head and did not answer. But when they thought about Liu Wang's fate, everyone could not help but swallow their saliva.
"Who the f * ck cares? At most we'll give it a try one by one!" Liu Hao finally put forward a constructive suggestion.
There wasn't much to pay attention to this life or death situation. Therefore, unless you are the successor of the tomb master, or have a tomb master's design, you will have to rely solely on luck.
Of course, everyone wasn't stupid, they couldn't really go deeper into the tunnel to try.
Zhou Shen opened his bag and took out a toy remote control car.
"Fortunately, I was prepared!" Zhou Shen laughed as he placed the toy car on the ground, and then controlled it to enter the first passage.
Not long after, Wang Qian who was spectating by the side suddenly pressed his ear against the wall and shouted: "This is a dead end!"
Hearing that, Zhou Shen anxiously drove out the remote control car, he only brought this one.
As soon as the remote control car came out, the top ten blocks of the passageway collapsed with a loud bang, completely burying the passageway in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the sound of stone scraping against stone could be heard. The few of them turned their heads to look, only to see a stone door half a meter thick fall down from the tunnel …
It's over, their escape route has been cut off, they've been forced into a dead end!
