Chapter 370 Discovery of the largest ancient tomb (Part 2)
Four people, including He Qing and Lin Haitao, were led by the man named Cao into the cave. According to Mr. Cao's previous description, the cave was very dangerous and was a place where villagers did not dare to set foot. But in order to find the ancient tomb,
Even if it is a truly forbidden area, He Qing has to bravely break in, otherwise he will not be able to find what he wants, Cao Cao's peerless sword-Yitian Sword.//High-speed update//
Although He Qing is not yet completely sure of finding the Yitian Sword, since there is a clue, he must continue to investigate. The investigation may fail, but if he does not investigate this clue, it will be broken. A one-tenth chance is also a chance.
The story Mr. Cao just told made people feel frightened when they heard it, but He Qing did not believe that there was such an outrageous thing, and the curse would not fall on them.
Although he was strong-willed and didn't have much fear, when he actually stepped into this cave that had been deserted for several years, He Qing was still a little uneasy at that moment. After all, the surrounding cold wind was blowing, the gloomy atmosphere, and the atmosphere became more and more uneasy.
It's getting more and more weird.
Mr. Cao was very familiar with the situation in this cave, so he naturally led the way at the front, followed closely by He Qing, followed by Suning, Lin Haitao and Du Hai.
When they walked in, neither He Qing nor the others spoke, they only heard the clatter of footsteps and heavy breathing.
Mr. Cao, who was walking staggeringly at the front, was breathing the most heavily. He was obviously scared. Maybe he really felt the fear of this hole in his bones.
As for Suning, who was walking behind He Qing, her breathing gradually became thicker. She was the only girl in the team. Although she had an adventurous spirit, when she was in danger, a girl's fragile nature would be revealed involuntarily.
Came out.
The passage in the cave is difficult to walk. The ground is full of rocks and overgrown with weeds. Although the passage is narrow at first, it is straight and it is not very strenuous to walk. However, after walking forward for a while, the road becomes inclined.
It went down and was very bumpy.
"Miss Su, please slow down." Seeing that the road is getting harder and harder to walk, He Qing suddenly called to Suning who was walking behind and said, "The ground here is so steep, you may fall if you are not careful. This is their first time here.
No one knows what kind of danger lies ahead. So it’s better to be careful every step of the way.
"Well, it's okay." Suning responded, her tone calm, as if nothing had happened.
He Qing had to admire her courage and determination. If it were an ordinary girl's home, how could she not be panicked when entering a place like this?
"The road ahead is blocked, we can't leave!"
Suddenly, Mr. Cao, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around and whispered.
"What?" He Qing was startled, and immediately swung the flashlight, and the brighter light shone. It was clear that the road ahead was indeed cut off for a long time, and there was a fault. It should be a cliff. He wanted to continue moving forward.
.Then you have to climb down.
When asking questions, He Qing took a step forward. As expected, there was a stone wall several meters high below. He took a photo and quickly saw clearly that the stone wall was uneven and he should be able to climb down by climbing on the protruding stones on the steep wall.
"Mr. Cao, this was always like this, right?" He Qing then asked.
"Well, yes." Mr. Cao replied.
He Qing said: "Is it okay to climb down? Mr. Cao, you climb down first, and then we will climb down one by one according to the path you took."
"Well, we used to go down like that." Mr. Cao nodded and agreed, and then he climbed down first. Maybe because he was too panicked, when he was about to climb to the ground, he missed his foot and fell to the ground.
There was a huge noise, and the echoes were rumbling in an instant, and the surrounding atmosphere became more and more weird and scary.
"Mr. Cao, are you okay?" He Qing asked in surprise, thinking that if Mr. Cao got injured, he would be in trouble. He is the only one who knows the way here, so he has to lead the way.
He Qing didn't think so much before coming here. It seems that he underestimated the cave. It turned out that the cave was so thrilling, and coupled with the horror story, it was even more dangerous.
"Oh, it's okay." Fortunately, Mr. Cao was not injured and he stood up naturally.
Seeing this, He Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked Mr. Cao to look after them below to make it easier for them to go down.
"Miss Su, is this okay?" Before climbing down, He Qing asked Suning solemnly. If the other party is afraid, then let her go back. Anyway, it is not far from the entrance of the cave, and she can get out of the cave soon.
"No problem!" Suning said without hesitation, "I used to climb mountains and rocks. This is not very high and it is easy to get down."
"Then take your time and be careful." He Qing comforted, "With us here, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Suning hurriedly said: "I'm not afraid! What's the danger? I've done bungee jumping many times. That one is more thrilling than this one, right?"
"That's good, I'll go down first." He Qing greeted, "Then Miss Su will follow, Haitao, Brother Du, you guys stay behind."
"Okay!" Lin Haitao agreed happily.
Then He Qing climbed up the stone wall, groped his way down, and quickly landed on the ground, which was very smooth.
When it was Suning's turn to climb down, He Qing stood at the bottom with his arms spread out so that if Suning accidentally fell, he could catch up.
In fact, Suning's movements were very light and he jumped to the ground in an instant.
After Lin Haitao and others came down, He Qing and his group continued to walk forward.
Except for the area illuminated by the flashlight, it was completely dark all around. It was really dark to reach out and see the five fingers. The echo inside was extremely loud. The slightest movement they made would reverberate everywhere, and it would last for a long time.
The road behind me was winding and winding. After walking for a while, I heard the sound of spring water dripping, and the ground under my feet gradually became moist.
"Mr. He, you'd better not walk close to the wall. There is an undercurrent and you may get trapped." Mr. Cao reminded.
"You mean quicksand?" He Qing asked in surprise. He didn't dare to imagine that there would be such a terrible phenomenon as quicksand in this place, but it was not impossible for quicksand to exist. After all, it was underground and there was water flow and sand and gravel.
"Well, almost." Mr. Cao replied, "Some people were almost sucked into the underground undercurrent before."
He Qing attached great importance to the situation he mentioned and said solemnly: "I understand."
Then he did not forget to greet Suning and Lin Haitao.
I don't know how long it took, but they came to a pool. The water was very shallow, but the sand looked very deep.
"Wow~~"
Suddenly, there was only a violent paddling sound, and something rushed through the water.
This is not a good sign!
"Ah!" Mr. Cao exclaimed, and immediately stopped, his body trembling slightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Then... what is that?!"
"What?!" He Qing and Lin Haitao were also shocked. They were really shocked at that moment.
In such a deep hole, what could be in the water? If it were a fish, it wouldn't make such a big movement. Could it be a beast living in the hole? What could it be?
Suning was so frightened that she grabbed He Qing's arm firmly. If they didn't take Mr. Cao's story to heart when they heard it outside the cave, now they were more alert and vigilant.
.
For a moment, He Qing and the other five people all held their breaths. He Qing was certainly the calmest among them. He then moved his flashlight and shone it back and forth in the pool, looking for the thing that was swimming rapidly just now.
"Wow--" A group of black shadows suddenly jumped up from a low-lying place.
He Qing's heart beat fiercely. He immediately went to take the photo.
"Come out, a black shadow, a big black shadow!"
"Going up the rock wall!"
"Climbed into that hole!"
Seeing that scene, Mr. Cao and Lin Haitao shouted excitedly.
But He Qing was still a step too late after all. His flashlight did not catch the monster in the water, and he could only vaguely see a black shadow.
"Haitao, did you see clearly just now? What was that?" He Qing asked.
"No." Lin Haitao replied, "It moves too fast. You can't even see what it looks like."
"Why does this scene look so familiar?" Du Hai, who was standing aside, said in a deep voice, "Oh. I remembered it. I watched a horror movie not long ago. It was about a group of people trapped in a cave. That
There is a humanoid monster in the cave, just like the one we saw just now, it moves very fast. Everyone, please be careful!"
He Qing said disapprovingly: "That's just something in a movie. Don't say it to scare people. It's okay. Why is there a monster?"
Although he couldn't believe it, the feeling of surprise lingered, and he was also full of doubts at this moment. He had just said that it might be a fish that was disturbed in the pool, but if the thing could climb up the stone wall, it must not be
Something in the water.
"Ghost! That's a ghost! I told you this place is scary!" Mr. Cao shouted, his voice trembling badly. As he spoke, he turned around and walked over, as if he was afraid of being attacked by the unknown monster.
"Oh, how is that possible?!" He Qing smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Cao, don't scare yourself. It's just an animal, not a ghost like you said."
He was still sure of this.
"Mr. He, let's go back." Mr. Cao said timidly, "It's too dangerous here."
"Go back?" He Qing said seriously, "We have already come in, so we can't give up halfway. If there is really a curse, then you have come in too. Isn't it too late to go back now? Mr. Cao, girls are not that scared. If you were a man
, just have the courage to do it.”
When He Qing said that, Mr. Cao's face turned red and white, and he looked very ugly.
If He Qing hadn't accepted the bounty, he might have returned to the cave desperately.
"Brother Qing, look, that's not a monster, it's just a mouse!"
At this moment, Lin Haitao was heard exclaiming.
Looking closely in the direction where Lin Haitao's flashlight shined, he saw a black shadow at the entrance of the cave. It looked like it was obviously a mouse, but a huge one.
When illuminated by the flashlight, the mouse instantly retracted into the hole.
"Sure enough, it's a mouse!" He Qing sighed. After confirming it, he breathed a long sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just a false alarm. The so-called "monster" was just a timid mouse and was not dangerous at all.
"Mr. Cao, did you all see it? That's a mouse." He Qing said with a smile.
"Is there such a big rat?" Although Mr. Cao also saw it, he was doubtful.
"Of course." He Qing said, "There are very big rats in the mountains and caves. Didn't the recent news say that a 'rat king' with a body length of nearly one meter appeared somewhere in Hunan?
? So, nothing to be surprised about.”
"Haha!" Lin Haitao smiled in relief and said, "It turns out that the ghosts in this cave are like this, and they are nothing more than that."
The atmosphere became relaxed for a while.
Suning's tense nerves also relaxed, and she slowly let go of He Qing's hand.
He Qing turned around and said, "Okay, Mr. Cao, let's keep moving forward."
Having come this far, he naturally would not give up. The top priority was to find the entrance connecting the ancient tomb to this cave.
Although He Qing came to this cave for the first time, he had already roughly seen the path through the artifacts through his supernatural powers. Although the image was not very clear, he could still see the general situation.
Under He Qing's greeting, Mr. Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the way.
After walking for a while, they came to a steep rock wall.
"Mr. He, we have basically reached the end now." Mr. Cao introduced, "There are many small holes at the top of the stone wall. Each hole leads to a very far place, but those who cannot walk can only crawl. Each hole
It’s all the same, the further you go, the narrower it gets. The harder it is to move forward.”
"Yes, I understand." He Qing nodded slightly, and then looked around at the small hole at the top of the cliff while falling into deep thought.
He was groping for the hole through which the group of tomb robbers crawled out.
After looking at it for a long time, it suddenly dawned on him and he secretly shouted: "That's it!"
"Brother Qing, although it's very deep inside, it doesn't really feel like there's much fun in it. We can go back now," Lin Haitao said.
Mr. Cao also said: "It's really not fun at all. Mr. He, let's go."
"There's no rush." He Qing waved his hand and said without looking back, "Haitao, Miss Su, just stand here and wait a moment. I'll go up and take a look."
"Brother Qing, what are you doing up there?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "If you want to go up, I have to go up too. I have to accompany you. Otherwise, what should I do if something happens?"
He Qing shook his head and said: "No, I'm just going to take a look. You stay where you are, don't wander around, just wait until I come back."
Then he couldn't help but bite the flashlight and climbed up the cliff.
He chose a hole because he could vaguely guess that the cultural relics flowed out of that hole.
He Qing was very nimble with his hands and feet. He climbed to the top in a minute or two and jumped into the cave.
The space inside the cave is indeed very small, the ground is smooth and cold, and there are dripping stalactites of different shapes and beautiful colors on both sides, which are like ice. I guess this is what Mr. Cao said is edible, but even if the stones are edible, they have no taste.
Bar.
After crawling forward for a while, He Qing stopped.
At that moment, he took out the glass emerald bead from his pocket and prepared to check the origin of the thing and get the relevant information again, mainly to watch this "plot".
It didn't take long for He Qing to learn the relevant information.
"It's right there!" After seeing it clearly, He Qing was pleasantly surprised, then accelerated and crawled forward.
When he reached a certain area, He Qing stopped immediately.
He first looked around for a while, then reached out to touch the stalactites next to him.
With a gentle shake, a stone moved. It turned out that the thing was broken, but someone stuck it on it, making it temporarily stable.
He Qing easily pulled out a stone and threw it aside.
He then opened the other stones in the same manner, and finally revealed a relatively large gap, which was large enough for a person's body to enter.
He Qing then changed direction and climbed into the cave entrance on the side.
In less than a minute, He Qing had climbed a certain distance.
"call--"
Suddenly, He Qing's body slid down uncontrollably. It turned out that this place was sloping downward.
"Bang!" Finally, he fell into a hole.
Fortunately, the back of his shoulder hit the ground first, so He Qing was not seriously injured, but he was still shocked and felt a little dizzy.
"Where is this?"
When He Qing got up in confusion, he looked around with a flashlight.
After seeing it clearly, He Qing was shocked. He found that the place he was in was a tomb. The structure of the huge tomb was similar to the scene he had visited at Cao Cao's Gaoling that had been discovered before.
