Chapter 211 Out of the Maze
Xiao Ming took us to a passage, but found that we had not encountered a fork again after walking for a while. Only then did everyone really believe what Xiao Ming said. After walking for a while, the underground in front of the development collapsed. It was almost two meters long and there was no room for walking on the edge.
Xiao Ming was surprised to get close to the collapsed place and said to himself: "Has anyone been here before? This may have triggered the mechanism to fall. Looking at the traces for many years, I wonder if the things in the tomb will be stolen."
The people Xiao Ming mentioned are tomb robbers. They only know how to rob the tomb pottery antiques. The antiques on the market are very expensive, which has led to many tomb robbers who dare to take risks even if they are willing to go to the tomb. In this collapsed place, some tomb robbers must have encountered this mechanism and fell down.
Li Jing pointed to everyone at the bottom of the cave entrance and shouted in surprise: "Look, there are many red fireflies there."
The white young man quickly took away the flashlight from Li Jing's hand and warned everyone: "That is a ghost firefly that can hurt people, and is very sensitive to light. Now they are in the dormant period, as long as the ghost firefly sees the light, they will move and attack creatures that break into their territory. When it is touched, you will be burned like fire. Don't want to burn a hole by it, don't use a lamp to shine it."
I was also very surprised and remained silent and said a few words at this time. However, how could he know these creatures? He was probably an expert in tomb robbers. Li Jing was also scared by what he said so much that her face turned pale. She didn't understand that this ghost firefly was so terrible.
So some people complained: "This tomb is so dark, how can you walk without lights?"
A special forces soldier said to everyone: "We have night vision goggles, this one has been ready for a long time, each one should take with you. Remember, each one is very expensive, don't break it."
The special forces sent us night vision goggles one after another, and I took them to look around. They were much worse than my luminous eyes. Looking around, it looked like a red world, and the scene was still blurred and clear.
At this time, someone was shocked: "Look, there is something nearby, it looks like a snake's waist. It's too big, is it really a snake?"
The white young man explained lightly: "This is Panlong root. Generally, when large cemeteries are built, Panlong roots are used to fix the tomb roof."
The roots of this plant are too big. It doesn’t seem that this one is enough to pick it up by one person. But it doesn’t grow, not like flowers, plants and trees? It only has one root, and it’s the first time I’ve heard of it. But from what he means, this root is still harmless to us.
Someone said again: "This exit is not the bottom, right? I see that the bottom is deep and the rope is not enough to throw it to the bottom."
Li Jing looked carefully into the hole below and told everyone: "Wait, I seem to see a staircase beside the wall, so I can walk down the staircase."
Everyone came over and found that there were indeed steps, but how to get there? The entrance of the cave was obviously in the center, so it was not that easy to get to the stairs. Even the special forces soldier could not climb over with his bare hands. The distance between the entrance of the cave was about two or three hundred meters from the wall below.
We can't believe how such a big hole was made. Even in modern times, we can't find such a hole. Is this the wisdom of the ancients? Have we still regressed? Everyone kept amazement, and it has to be said that the ancients were still smarter than us moderns.
Xiao Ming said to everyone: "Don't worry, there is still a road ahead, we just need to find a way to cross this hole."
A special forces soldier took out a hand-pulled box without hesitation and opened it, which turned out to be a ladder that could be longer. It seemed that the special forces soldier had really prepared everything. He could do anything he needed, but it was not a special forces soldier.
The ladder was placed on both sides, and the special forces began to command us to climb over there one by one. After climbing over, the special forces took back the ladder, after all, the road behind might also be needed.
Everyone continued to rush forward, but they were still the same as before, and never encountered a fork in the road again. After walking about a hundred meters, they found a pit, exactly the same as before. If this mechanism was not touched, once we walked over and fell, we would be terrible. If we fell down at such a high level, can we still hope to survive?
So the special forces continued to use a long ladder to command everyone to climb over slowly. So the special forces suggested to prevent the mechanism in front of him and let a special forces soldier walk in the front. Of course, he would tie a rope to the special forces soldier behind him. If he encountered danger, the special forces soldier behind him would quickly pull him over. I have to say that this method is indeed good. The special forces soldier in front was too dangerous and he was very likely to face death.
So the special forces in front were five meters away from us, and we continued to walk in the formation. We couldn't help but admire the special forces in front. He dared to do such things and was very brave.
After walking for nearly a hundred meters, I encountered another pit, but I saw a huge door at the end of the pit. It seemed to be two bronze doors, and they were closed together. From a distance, it was very tall and five meters high. This made everyone excited. After walking for so long, they finally found the entrance, and even the special forces soldiers smiled.
To be honest, it is not easy to find an exit in the maze. Xiao Ming is really a genius, and he can calculate it. If it were someone else, he really couldn't find a way, and even Professor Zheng couldn't find a way. After all, this is a ghost to hit a wall, so it's normal that he can't find a way.
The special forces continued to use a long ladder to let everyone climb through the last pit. When everyone climbed over, the special forces captain said to everyone: "The next one must be very dangerous, so everyone must be careful and follow my orders. Rest in place for ten minutes, and the enemy will not be able to chase here for a while."
I noticed that what he said was that the guards outside had failed to defend. But without communication, how did they know that they had failed? They just made the worst plan, it was wrong, he said so sure.
I asked the captain curiously: "Captain, how do you know the battle situation outside?"
The captain replied to me: "The brothers outside told me that if someone came to attack the enemy, they would fire three shots to remind us. If the enemy was wiped out, they would fire five shots to remind us. Obviously there was no movement at all. The brothers outside sacrificed their lives for the country, and we would not let them die in vain. When we go out, we will definitely take revenge on them!"
We were silent and didn't know what to say. Only then did we realize that soldiers were always for peace with their lives. They did not ask for anything in return, but just wanted to serve the country with loyalty. Just a simple request was enough to exchange for their lives. Some people even started to take off their hats and observe silently, which was considered respect for the brothers outside! They could escape and save their lives, but they did not, and they tried their best to buy time for us.
