"This guy, Fatty, is truly a professional comedian, and his ability to make jokes is truly outstanding."
“…..”
As usual, the crowd of spectators chattered again.
In the tunnel.
When the light shines out, the river outside the exit of the huge cave is similar to the river outside the entrance in terms of width and scale.
It doesn't look like a coincidence, it must have been something that King Xian had done intentionally.
However, this is not important.
The important thing is that the river is not very wide, so with the efforts of Hu Bayi and Fatty, the bamboo raft quickly reached the water's edge.
Seeing this, Ding Ze turned around and glanced behind him.
As the distance increased, the fact that the Night Eye skill needed to be upgraded quickly became immediately apparent.
Ding Ze couldn't see clearly, but fortunately he could get a rough idea.
Those sword-toothed viperfish have already killed the giant green-scaled python and are rushing here.
"The piranha is here, throw the equipment on the shore quickly!" Ding Ze estimated that they still have about ten seconds, not too much, not too little, they should be in time, "Quick!"
Words spread.
Hu Bayi and the others...especially the fat man who was terribly afraid of piranhas, immediately jumped into confusion and quickly threw away their equipment without any delay.
Four people start working together, ten seconds is enough!
After getting the equipment, the four people quickly jumped to the shore and ran to the cave wall. When there was no way to go, they stopped and turned to look at the water.
Using the flashlight light, the four of them could clearly see the large group of saber-toothed viperfish that had arrived at the entrance of the huge cave. It was so densely packed that there were who knows how many sword-toothed viperfish there were!
"Hiss!" The fat man took a breath, then raised his hand and patted his chest, "It's so dangerous! I almost became fish food!"
The words just fell!
The oozing gnawing sound of "呲拉呲拉" suddenly sounded!
In less than a second, the two bamboos fell apart, and the moso bamboos struggled and rolled as if they were alive and unwilling to be eaten by the sword-toothed viper fish...
See this scene.
It was time to say it or not, but Ding Ze's scalp was indeed numb, so he had to look away slightly to avoid making himself uncomfortable. He then took out a cigarette, first handed one to Fatty and Hu Bayi, and then lit it after himself.
One stick.
No one made a sound, silently waiting for these terrifying knife-tooth salmon to leave.
Time passes slowly.
Almost five minutes passed, and as if the saber-toothed viperfish realized that there really was nothing to eat here, they swam back into the huge cave one after another against the current.
The river gradually returned to calm.
"Hey!" Seeing the Sabertooth Viper leaving, Hu Bayi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said in a very emotional tone, "I didn't expect that just by walking through Zhelong Mountain, there were giant pythons and giant pythons again.
Piranha, almost died..."
Hu Bayi said and shook his head, "Now that I think about it, Blind Chen really wasn't exaggerating. We were too naive."
Ding Ze: "??????"
Okay, I still have to say something at this time, otherwise wouldn't I just be labeled as naive?
"Ahem," thinking, Ding Ze pretended to cough.
He thought, this should be enough.
Facts have proved that it is indeed enough.
No, when Hu Ba heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed and smiled sheepishly, "Old Ding, what I mean is that Fatty, I, and Miss Yang are all too naive."
Hearing this, Ding Ze grinned and said nothing.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the fat man suddenly abandoned Hu Bayi, "Old Hu, don't talk nonsense. It's really only you and Miss Yang tomorrow, but I always knew that this operation would be very dangerous."
Hu Bayi: "..."
Shirley Yang: “…”
Shirley Yang shook her head helplessly. The unbearable meaning was very clear, "It's better to stop chatting now. Let's go quickly and leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
-------------
The next section of the road, until exiting the tunnel, according to the original story, is not dangerous.
Therefore, Ding Ze relaxed and walked forward quietly.
In the silent tunnel, there were only the footsteps of the four people and the subtle sound of the flowing river.
Such silence, paired with such darkness.
To be honest, it's really scary.
The four of them kept silent and walked very slowly, not because they were out of energy, but because they were worried that they might encounter something fatal again while walking.
Fortunately, we walked for about an hour without encountering any danger.
Not encountering any danger, the fat man's tense nerves relaxed somewhat, and he moved his mouth. After struggling for a while, he finally made a sound.
"Lao Hu, didn't you say before that only one-third of the way is left? Why haven't we walked out yet?"
When Hu Bayi heard this, he shook his head and said, "The estimate was wrong."
Fatty: "..."
The fat man choked and suddenly looked helpless, "How long will it take to walk? Are we going the wrong way?"
"Probably not. We have been walking along the river. There is no reason why we should go wrong. The direction is right," Hu Bayi replied.
Although, the tone is not very definite.
When the fat man heard this, he sighed and said nothing more. There was more helplessness on his face.
Ding Ze saw it and smiled, "Fat man, where's your energy? Why can't you just walk such a short distance?"
He estimated the time. According to the description in the original book, there should be a collapsed river not far ahead. Then, if he took a slight detour and drilled a hole, he would be able to see a large waterfall.
As long as they see the waterfall, they will be able to leave Zhelong Mountain completely in no time.
In other words, the exit is not far away.
"Old Ding, just walking like this, how can I have any energy?"
"If I can pick up a bright weapon after walking for half an hour, I guarantee that I will be very motivated!"
The fat man said it seriously and seriously. After he finished speaking, he really lowered his head and looked at the ground, as if he was looking for a bright light.
Ding Ze: “…..”
Well, it’s totally reasonable for a fat man to have such thoughts.
Ding Ze smiled, stopped talking, just held a cigarette in his mouth and continued to move forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, the collapse of the river channel was revealed.
Hu Bayi walked at the front and tried to climb up. "There is no way to go here. These gravels will fall into the water as soon as we step on them. They cannot support our weight. We have to take a detour."
soon.
The four of them got into a cave nearby.
After walking along the cave for only a few minutes, the very clear sound of rumbling water reached the four people's ears through the cave wall.
Hearing the sound, Hu Bayi judged, "The sound of water flow seems to be in the same direction as leaving the mountain."
After saying that, Hu Bayi turned on the wolf-eye flashlight and looked around, trying to find a way to the sound of water flow.
When Ding Ze and the other three saw it, they all turned on their flashlights and started looking for it together.
Unfortunately, there is no road.
There are only holes of different sizes in the rocks.
"It seems that we have to get out of the hole next," Hu Bayi said aloud.
Fatty: "...Old Hu, are you kidding me? These holes are only so big, how can I drill them!"
Hu Bayi: "╮(╯▽╰)╭You are fat, are you still reasonable?"
Fatty: "(#￣～￣#)!!"
At this time, seeing that Hu Bayi and Fatty were about to start a quarrel again, Shirley Yang spoke up and nipped the quarrel between the two in the cradle, "Let's look carefully. There are so many holes here. There should be
There is something that can get us all through.”
Hearing this, Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled.
The original work did not say which hole Hu Bayi and the others got into. So, in order not to cause trouble, if he accidentally went the wrong way, he continued to keep quiet, while pretending to be searching, waiting for Hu Bayi and San.
Man finds the right hole.
About five minutes later.
Hu Bayi found it and said, "This hole should be about the same size."
The fat man heard that as the fattest one in the team, it was up to him to decide whether the hole would work or not, "It looks like it's barely enough, I'll give it a try first."
As soon as the words came out, the fat man started to move. He first took off his backpack, tied it with a climbing rope, dragged it behind him, and then started to crawl into the hole."
Drilled for a while.
"It seems fine, but it's a little crowded and I can't turn over," the fat man said.
"Just roll over and pass," Hu Bayi responded, then said to Ding Ze and Shirley Yang, "Then let's go."
Ding Ze and Shirley Yang nodded together.
The cave is not long, but since the four of them are crawling, it will take some time.
It took almost ten minutes to climb.
The fat man at the front said, "Get out soon, there is a big waterfall outside."
The four of them got out of the hole one after another and took a closer look.
The place at the exit of the cave is just below the waterfall.
There is a stream of water on the opposite side, which is connected to the river under the waterfall. Looking forward along this stream, there is some light in the distance.
There shouldn't be any light in such a dark mountain...
"That should be the exit," Hu Bayi said, looking at the bright light in the distance.
Shirley Yang then spoke up, "The riverbed landforms around here don't look to be older than a few decades. The river connecting the waterfall should be the road the inn proprietress mentioned..."
"We accidentally took the wrong road and almost died. We must not make this kind of mistake again."
Hearing this, the fat man agreed very much and nodded, "That's right. Now we are about to get a lot of bright weapons, but we can't let the chain slip again."
Hear this.
Hu Bayi: “╮(╯▽╰)╭”
Shirley Yang: “…”
Hu Bayi said, "Fat man, you are the one who is most likely to lose your chain! Next, you have to take care of your hands. Don't touch anything you see or risk your life!"
Fatty: "!!!Old Hu, I won't be happy to hear what you say like that. When has Fatty ever touched something at the risk of his life? I have always put the overall situation first. If I touch something that I shouldn't, I
Don’t touch it at all…”
Bah bah bah bah.
When Hu Ba heard this, he became even more helpless, "Okay, okay, there are no outsiders here, who doesn't know you. What I mean is, judging from this canal that goes through the mountains, this King Xian who is good at voodoo and bad luck, I'm afraid
He is definitely not like what we thought, he was just a grass-headed emperor who separated from the ancient Dian Kingdom with some people."
"In those days, it would have taken at least several thousand people to dig such a canal through the mountains..."
"Just one canal required thousands of people... Then how many people did it take to build his mausoleum?"
"I think, in terms of scale, this King Xian Tomb...maybe similar to those imperial tombs we know about!"
"Then think about it, how many insidious mechanisms will Xian Wang, who is good at voodoo and evil, set up to ensure that his tomb is not stolen?"
Hu Bayi said this in one breath. In his words, his intention to scare the fat man and stop him from messing around should not be too obvious.
So, can a fat man be frightened by such words?
Of course not!
In fact, not only can’t!
In fact, Fatty was able to extract some crucial information for him from Hu Bayi's words with great wit and decisiveness.
So I saw...
Shocked? It doesn’t exist.
Excited, not bad!
The fat man was excited, and on his fat face, there was a swishing swish, which symbolized excitement, joy, and excitement, and it quickly appeared.
"Damn it! The imperial mausoleum!"
"The bright weapon in there is really lost in the sea!!"
"Damn it, I knew I should have brought a few more big sacks. Now I'm in trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to fit them in..."
