The copper bell at the entrance of the Thief's Cave rang three times very rhythmically.
The bell suddenly rang in the extremely silent room, hitting everyone's hearts like a real substance.
Although everyone present had already been mentally prepared, when the ringing of the bell came slowly from the deep robbery cave, it had a strange smell no matter how you heard it.
This is a crisp but somewhat dull sound. Each ringing sound is prolonged and has a creepy percussion feeling, making everyone's heart beat faster involuntarily.
, and even felt like it was about to pop out of my throat.
Li Jinyong and Lin Yian naturally heard the alarming ringing. They looked at each other, and it was Li Jinyong who broke the silence first, "Brother Lin, the young protector has given the signal. In this case, I will go down first."
, you come and help me become the queen!"
Lin Yi'an nodded with a smile, without the slightest courtesy, "Then I'll help Brother Li!"
As a veteran in the tomb robbing business, Lin Yian knew that those at the back were often the safest.
This principle is not difficult to understand.
When encountering danger, the people at the rear can naturally escape as quickly as possible because they are at the back.
Since Li Jinyong volunteered, there is no need to compete with him for the limelight, just let him do it!
Li Jinyong slowly walked to the entrance of the robbery cave. He was not in a hurry to get into the robbery cave immediately. Instead, like a magic trick, he took out a wooden sculpture made of locust wood from a backpack on his back.
This wood carving is not big, about a foot long. It has a thick patina and a deep color. At first glance, it looks like an old object that has experienced countless years.
The wood carving is in human form, with lifelike features, expressive eyes, straight bridge of nose and slightly raised corners of lips, all demonstrating the uncanny craftsmanship of the carver.
However, what is a bit creepy is that this wooden sculpture actually has four hands.
The postures of the four hands are extremely weird. They are either protruding, holding hands behind, bending, or lifting. It can be said that there is no pattern at all.
In his two left hands, the upper hand tightly held a tattered-looking talisman, and the lower hand held tightly a mini-sharp blade. The tip of the blade shone with a cold light that was intimidating.
With both hands, the upper hand holds a writing brush. There seems to be ink that has not yet dried on the tip of the pen. The palm of the lower hand holds a pitch-black elixir. The surface of the elixir is uneven, as if there are countless insect eyes, and it exudes a smell.
It's a very weird smell.
The moment Li Jinyong placed the wood carving on the ground, the light and shadow of the wood carving was projected on the wall, giving the entire wood carving an extremely eerie feeling.
What’s even more weird is that after the wooden sculpture was inserted into the ground, it seemed to be turning its head at an extremely slow and imperceptible speed.
Looking at it from different angles will produce such an illusion.
But I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but it seemed to be still. I felt that everything I just saw was wrong!
chill!
An inexplicable chill emerged in the hearts of everyone present.
While everyone was horrified, Li Jinyong had already lit three sticks of incense and muttered something at the same time.
"The Earth Ancestor lives deep in the ancient tomb, protecting the treasures and suppressing evil winds."
"The light of the Immortal who has been sleeping peacefully for thousands of years is here to protect my disciples from any disaster."
After saying that, Li Jinyong took a deep breath, picked up the wood carving, and then got into the robbery hole without looking back.
At this moment, the pressure instantly fell on Lin Yian.
Because everyone focused their attention on him.
No matter how weird or shameless Lin Yian is, he is still a man.
Men have self-esteem. If they become cowards now, if nothing else, the group of people they finally managed to pull together will disappear immediately, and I will never be able to become famous in the tomb robbing business in the future.
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and knelt down, like a sharp arrow leaving the string, he got into the thief's cave without hesitation, directly attracting cheers from behind.
Especially Heizi, with a dark face full of reverence, he wished he could follow Lin Yian to the grave!
…
The tomb gate of the ancient tomb is located approximately 16 meters underground.
However, digging a hole is not as straight up and down as digging a well.
This thief's cave is a slope with an angle of about 30 degrees. Based on this calculation, you have to go down for about 40 meters.
After entering the robbery hole, Lin Yian quickly turned on the strong flashlight and fixed it firmly on a base on the right shoulder of Mouse Yi.
At this time, he did not move forward in a hurry. First, he gently brushed the soil from his hair. Then, he quickly assembled the cyclone shovel. He quickly held the cross-end steel pipe and pushed the cyclone shovel on the left side of the tomb passage. Then he rotated with force.
.
"Crack!"
The cyclone shovel only made two or three turns before it touched the hard rock.
Then, he performed the same action several times, and without exception, he hit the rock after turning a few times.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi'an's frown gradually relaxed.
I was secretly relieved!
As he had guessed before, this robbery cave should have been dug according to the architectural drawings of the ancient tomb.
Except for the blue bricks under your feet, there are rocks all around. In this way, at least you don’t have to worry about the danger of landslides!
In this business of fighting, the biggest fear is the cave collapse. As long as there is a landslide, nine times out of ten, you will be buried alive in it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yian couldn't help but shudder, and scenes of his colleagues being buried alive suddenly appeared in front of him.
Shaking his head to put away his distracting thoughts, he prepared to catch up with Li Jinyong who came in first.
Just when he was about to take a step, suddenly! There was an extremely subtle, almost non-existent sound of footsteps behind him.
The sound was so small that if you didn't listen carefully, it would be difficult to detect it, but Lin Yian caught it.
First of all, the thief's cave is so quiet that it seems to be isolated from the rest of the world, and any sound will be infinitely amplified.
In addition, Lin Yi'an is already very smart, and he exercises every day in order to fight upside down. Even the sounds of insects and rats cannot escape his ears. "Could it be that Heizi or Shigui followed?"
Full of doubts, the figures of the two people quickly flashed in his mind.
Thinking of this, he slightly turned his head and looked back.
This sight shocked him.
There is no one behind me!
No!
To be precise, I couldn't see clearly who was coming.
The first thing that caught his eye was a white lantern. In the darkness, this lantern was like a huge strange eye staring at him fiercely.
The owner of the lantern lowered his head and bent his waist, his face completely hidden in the shadows, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.
Can't even tell if it's a boy or a girl.
But his strange movements made Lin Yi'an wary. He couldn't help but asked loudly: "Aren't you not allowed to come down? Why? We don't even listen to what we say!"
At the same time, he slowly pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist!
