I quickly stood up and observed carefully. I was just thinking about finding the man in black, but I actually forgot about the stone gate.
This stone gate is more than four meters high. In the middle of the stone gate is a small circle with deep carvings. Then every ten centimeters away, there is a circle larger than this, and so on.
There are probably more than a dozen circles in the trap. It looks like a roulette wheel, and there are some patterns carved in the middle of the circles. This pattern is very strange. I don’t know what the specific engravings are.
Can't understand.
This stone door is square in shape, with two small pillars on both sides. There are also some patterns carved on the pillars, which are probably flowers and plants. I can’t tell exactly what flowers they are, but the overall look is, although it’s hard to tell.
It is very majestic, but this stone gate is still very majestic, and it does not have that evil or gloomy feeling. Everything is very plain.
"Where does the back of this stone door lead to? Could it be the underground palace of the tomb owner?" I asked casually. Seeing how excited Mr. Mai was just now, maybe it was true.
"It should be about the same. Even if it's not the main tomb, we should not be far from the main tomb now." Mr. Mai turned to look at me and said calmly.
Jenny came over and said, "It looks like the stone door of the main tomb. Judging from the construction of this stone door, it is already very detailed. In this big cave, it can be built so finely. Except for the owner of the tomb,
I think there should be no one else."
I glanced at Jenny and said, "It makes sense, but we'll find out if it's true or not after we open it and take a look."
The big man was also excited now, "Yes, yes, quickly open the stone door and take a look. If there is a treasure, we must not only escape successfully, but also take away a large amount of his treasure. Only then can we be worthy of what we have suffered."
Sin."
"Damn you, you're quite greedy if you can't tell." I stretched out my hand and punched the big man and said with a smile.
At this moment, Mai Lao's expression suddenly changed, "Shh~ don't talk. Listen, are there any footsteps?"
I listened carefully, and sure enough, there was the sound of footsteps coming, but it was very faint, and it seemed that there was still a certain distance. This old guy's ears are really good.
"There are footsteps, right in this three-way intersection, but I can't tell which cave entrance it is." After saying that, I glanced at Jenny. This was almost the same scene as the last time we met Chang Shan and the others.
"Don't look at me, I can't tell the difference." Jenny knew what I meant, and sealed it for me with one sentence.
Mai Lao rolled his eyes and said, "It's human footsteps. Although it's a bit messy, you can still hear it." This old guy is really amazing. He can distinguish between humans and monsters just by listening to footsteps. This is much better than me.
.
As soon as Shunzi heard the sound of footsteps, he stood up and asked, "Could it be Jiao Ba and the others who are coming?"
"It's hard to say, it could be someone else." This place should be isolated from the previous cave. Skinks will never appear here, but even if there are other people, the stone statues can be resurrected, so what else?
Things can't happen.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and you can tell that they are a group of people running. "Everyone, please spread out first and prepare."
Mr. Mai quickly gave the order, and we hurriedly separated to every corner. We all took out the diving knives in our hands. If it was an enemy, we would have to fight to the death. The few of us looked at each other, and then nodded.
head.
Jenny was opposite me, and I leaned closer to her. If she was really in danger, I could help her. No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman.
The five of us waited quietly. My hand holding the knife became tighter and tighter, but I didn't feel nervous at all. At this moment, my mentality was very peaceful and stable. No matter what I faced, I would be very calm.
Frankly, this is the result of human evolution after many hardships.
When the footsteps were approaching, Mai Lao made a gesture to us, and the five of us were ready to fight. The big man and Mai Lao were on both sides of the cave entrance. Both of them were highly concentrated, especially
Big guy, he didn't even blink.
Just when I felt that they were about to rush out, suddenly, the footsteps disappeared, just like a sudden brake, they stopped immediately. There was no sound at all. The whole space was as quiet as death, except that I could barely hear it.
heard each other's breathing.
The five of us looked at each other, but none of us understood what was going on. Why did the footsteps disappear? Could it be that... the other party discovered us?
I quickly gestured to Mr. Mai, 'There is no sound.'
Mr. Mai nodded and gestured to me, 'Wait a moment.'
The five of us have been waiting for almost five minutes, but there is still no sound. The big man looked at me anxiously and waved his hand, indicating that he could rush in. I thought about it, but I didn't know which cave entrance it was.
At this moment, a person suddenly jumped out of the hole on the left. This person rushed towards him very quickly. Then he rolled forward on the spot, then pulled out his knife and turned around violently.
Yelled, "Who is it?"
As soon as I heard this voice, I immediately knew who he was. I put the knife away and casually replied, "It's me, your brother."
Jiao Ba stood up and said, "Brother Yi? Mr. Mai? Damn, it's you who have been making trouble for a long time. I thought who was here. We didn't even dare to come out. Brother Chang Shan, please come out."
." Jiao Ba looked around and saw that it was us, and quickly greeted the others.
At this time, Chang Shan and the others came out of the cave, and Li Xin was the last one to come out. Seeing that she was fine and in good condition, I felt relieved. I don’t know when I started, but I always
I feel inexplicably concerned about this woman.
"Is everything okay, everyone?" Mai Lao looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"It's okay. I knew we had to meet again. This place is like a maze. It goes around and around and finally comes back." Chang Shan also said with a smile.
The guys greeted each other, and Steamed Bun suddenly cursed, "***, this damn place is full of agencies. We obviously came down from the same entrance, and ended up being divided into several teams. It was really chaotic and dangerous.
Ah, I don’t even know how I died.”
"Yeah, I've always been wondering, we all came down from the same entrance, but how could we still get separated in the end?" I have thought about this question, but I just can't figure it out.
"I can't figure it out either, but I know there must be a mystery." Li Xin agreed with me. The two of us looked at each other and quickly looked away.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "It's just a little trick. After coming down from the entrance, there should be two stone doors. The first stone door is a road leading from both sides. Mai Lao and Shunzi went through first, so they should go to the right."
"When Brother Changshan and I ran down, we took the left side. The situation was urgent at that time, and no one would notice that there were two roads. They would just go to whichever road they saw first, and stay alive.
It would be nice to leave.”
"When it's your turn, Brother Yi, the second stone door at the back will have been opened. The first thing you see should be a straight road, not the left and right roads."
"That's right, we are walking in a straight line, and you are still the professional."
Jiao Ba, this grandson, is really an expert in tomb robbing. His analysis is completely reasonable. The rest of us looked at him with big eyes. This is almost like magic. In fact, it is just a cover-up. But if he doesn't tell
I, I think it's difficult for me to solve this mystery. It's not that anyone is stupid, but that you don't understand it at all.
Chang Shan nodded and said, "Yes, Jiao Ba is right. Most of the caves are equipped with such mechanisms. Their purpose is to disperse people. This is also to prevent tomb robbers from entering."
"By the way, did you meet anyone else or anything else along the way?" I thought of the man in black and the withered old man.
A few of them shook their heads, "No, this journey was very safe. We didn't encounter any danger, and we didn't see anyone. What's wrong, brother?" Jiao Ba looked at me with a strange look and asked.
But before I could say anything, the big man took the lead and said, "We met that mysterious old man, but there was also an even more mysterious man. He was wearing black clothes and was tall and strong. The two of them were fighting at that time.
It was so ridiculous that in the end, the tall man in black clothes beat the mysterious old man to death..." The big man was like a storyteller. He spoke eloquently and moved his hands back and forth.
gestures.
"Damn, what is this nonsense? Can you explain it in more detail? I didn't understand a word of it." Mantou said with eyes wide open.
Jiao Ba looked at me and said, "Brother Yi, what's going on?"
"I just encountered something along the way..."
Now that the big man has exposed the matter, there is no need to hide it anymore. I briefly talked about the old man's affairs, which was probably the origin of this island and who the old man was. It was very general.
Again, it wasn’t that detailed.
In the middle, I also explained about the man in black who suddenly came out, but I didn’t say that I had met him before. I just said that the man in black suddenly appeared and started a fight with the mysterious old man. In the end, the man in black
The man beat the mysterious old man to death and said it very simply. He didn't mention the confidential things the old man said or about Liu Qian. He just said that he had followed an adult to the sea until now.
"I really can't believe that there are actually immortal people in this world. It seems that I have to look at the world again." Shunzi said with a surprised look on his face.
"Actually, there is nothing surprising. There are many things in this world that we cannot understand, and science is not omnipotent." Li Xin still looked calm, without any excessive sense of surprise.
"Yes, science is not omnipotent. I didn't expect that this small island would hide so many secrets. It's really incredible." Chang Shan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"The old man said that he has been following an adult to go to sea. Who could this adult be?" Jiao Ba glanced around, as if asking for the elder's opinion.
