Chapter 16 Chapter 15 The Tomb Chamber Collapses

For some unknown reason, the "eternal lamp" whose skull had been cut off also acted like a corpse.If my guess is correct, he is the "eternal lamp" tied with a rope. It may be because he was exposed to too much yang energy that he was so excited that he pretended to be a dead body. "Hey, there's something on top of your head!" Shu Shan shouted from below. "Saw." "Do you want to give him a few shots?" "The rope was tied to his leg. If you shot him a few times, I would have been thrown directly to the bottom of the steep slope."

"Then what to do?" I don't know what to do, the only way is to jump off as soon as possible.However, the steep slope is relatively long, and it is inevitable to suffer physical pain when rolling down. For a while, it is difficult to make a decision. Fortunately, the rope is relatively long. Although the "Eternal Light" repeatedly lifted the rope, it couldn't eat me in a short time.In order to suffer less, I accelerated the speed of my descent, but I didn't know that when I slid one step, he took two steps up, and my position not only did not fall, but was improved.

In order not to fall into the clutches of the zombies, I had to ask Shu Shan to aim at the head of the "Eternal Light" and shoot, but Shu Shan said: "Li Yishui, please apologize for your previous behavior, otherwise my grandma will not shoot this shot." .” I heard that Shu Shan came to negotiate the price with me at this time, so I couldn't help being a little annoyed, so I held a flashlight in my left hand and a machine gun in my right, and shot at the "eternal light".Although the distance was relatively close, but because of my shaking body, I missed him and hit the bullet to the top of the cave instead.

Thinking about it now, those shots really shouldn't have been fired, and we completely changed the direction of this tomb robbery because of these shots. Those few shots missed the "Eternal Lantern", not only won the "Eternal Lantern" sneer, but also knocked down many stones on the top of the cave.At first, there were some fragmented small stones, followed by larger boulders, which fluttered and fell down like hail. "Li Yishui, what's going on?" Shu Shan shouted from below. "I don't know, I just fired a few shots." I said. "Look at your stinky marksmanship."

After Shu Shan finished speaking, she fired a shot, directly hitting the left eye of "Eternal Light". After being hit, "Eternal Light" was very annoyed, but he did not give up the rope in his hand, but directly transformed the pain into the power to lift the rope, and accelerated the rope lifting speed. At a critical moment, a stone the size of a square table fell from the sky and hit the "Eternal Lantern", smashing the "Eternal Lantern" so that it could no longer move an inch.Seeing such a scene, I was full of gratitude to God, thinking that God still cares for me.But what happened next made me no longer grateful to God. I saw more and more stones falling off the roof of the cave. They were like giant hailstones, falling from the sky continuously.

"Li Yishui, come down quickly, the cave is going to collapse." Shu Shan shouted from the cave. I heard Shu Shan yelling from below, and I suddenly understood, yes, looking at the situation, I'm afraid this cave is really going to suffer landslides.It has long been written on the wall of the Water Curtain Cave: If you open the coffin rashly, you will surely change the world, and the tomb robbers will die in Jiuquan. From the opening of the coffin to the present, although many things have happened, in fact, it took only ten minutes. Could it be that this has come true? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but start to panic.

I followed the rope and quickly slid to the bottom of the rope.Since the rope was lifted up a lot by the "eternal light", there was still no rope left on the steep slope of more than ten meters, so I could only slide down by myself.However, life and death were imminent, and there was no time for me to hesitate, so I just slid down the slope. When Shu Shan saw me coming down, she let out a sigh of relief, and pulled me towards the bend of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". But stones are falling everywhere in this tomb, and there is no place to hide.Besides, the driving cloud bridge and the suspension bridge are not accessible to ordinary people, and it is impossible to cross it within half an hour.But then again, in half an hour we'd be smashed to pieces.

While we were escaping, we discovered to our horror that in this cave, the ground was covered with corpses of villagers.During the escape, these villagers discarded their guns, and many people were hit with huge stones. It is unknown whether they died from the claws and teeth of the corpse king, or from the stones falling from the sky. Still died for money. After descending the steep slope, we soon came to the turning point of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". Fortunately, the stone of death did not hit us.However, when we arrived at Jiayun Bridge, we were dumbfounded. The bean curd project in front of us had collapsed, and all the exquisite white stone steps fell to the cliff valley, and even the stone walls in the cave were also landslides. Large areas of stone walls Drowning in deep pools with a rumbling sound.

We really didn't have the courage to go one step further, because we were likely to fall into the water during the climbing process, or be hit by falling stones, but either way, it was a kind of death. Now, I can't see Fourth Uncle and the others anymore, and I don't know where these people went, whether they were really killed by the corpse king. At this moment, two beams of light appeared on the water.I took a closer look and saw that it was the human-faced beast that had lived for more than a thousand years, and there was an extra person on the back of the human-faced beast, and this person was actually the corpse king.The corpse king stood on the back of the human-faced beast, with his hands behind his back, like a king pointing the country, without a trace of hostility.

The stones on the cave continued to fall down, and the stones became bigger and bigger.The strange thing is that although the stones kept falling, they couldn't hit the corpse king anyway.Moreover, the corpse king stood on the human-faced beast, and even walked towards the pavilions and palaces far away from the deep pool.Could it be that this is the King of Yue's version of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea"?Although there is only one "immortal", it has a good appearance and a unique scenery. Just as we stopped, a huge boulder fell to our left, causing the already precarious stone platform path to collapse into the water.And because we stood on this stone platform path, we also fell into the deep pool along with the stone platform.

Fortunately, the water in this deep pool is very deep. After we fell, we just splashed a huge splash on the surface of the water and floated up without any injuries.The water in this deep pool is not as cold as we imagined, but it is indeed very smelly. The stench of corruption is mixed with the feces of human-faced beasts, which makes people question whether the water here is a pool of stagnant water, and whether it has not been replaced with the outside world. Pass. I pulled Suzanne out of the water, thankful she had learned to swim for a while, but unfortunately, she wasn't very good at it.Since entering the water, she has been pulling my arm constantly. Anyone who knows something about water knows that when a person who can't swim drowns, he will desperately pull on everything that can be pulled, and I am The object that Suzanne was pulling. In order to prevent her from drowning, I pulled her out of the water several times.Shu Shan was able to swim a few times in the water at first, but after all, she was not skilled enough, and soon there was a tendency to sink. Shu Shan's flashlight broke during the fall, but mine was not damaged because it was well cared for, and the flashlight is waterproof, so the lighting system can be preserved. "It's over." Shu Shan said tragically, "I'm not married yet, so I just died like this." "Sister, you are really in a good mood, you can still think of those things." I said angrily. After Shu Shan was pulled up from the water, she made a swimming gesture with her hands and said, "Can't I have my last dream?" "You are not longing, but regret." I saw that Shu Shan was about to sink again, and I picked her up from the bottom of the water again. "Don't take advantage of me." Shu Shan shouted.When I picked up Shu Shan just now, I touched her torn body, but I didn't expect that she would care about these things at this time. "Whoever wants to take advantage of you, I'm paying you back for saving your life." As soon as I finished speaking, a big rock fell on our side, which scared us both. "I didn't expect that I would be with you before I died." Shu Shan had completely given up fighting, and she was about to sink to the bottom of the water again. I smiled and said, "Do you like Huo Gang?" "Huo Gang? That's my cousin." After taking a sip of water, Shu Shan continued, "By the way, do you have someone you like?" "me……" Do I have someone I like? Of course I have, I not only have girls I like, but also girls who like me.The girl I like is called Hu Songshan, and the girl who likes me is called Liuge.One of them is lively and cheerful, and the other is savage and willful.I was still hesitating how to make a choice before, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary. At this moment, I suddenly felt that I shouldn't be tomb-robbing, and I shouldn't be putting my head on the blade. When I was thinking about how to answer Shushan, I found that Shushan was missing.I panicked and thought: It's broken, she really gave up her life, right?So I quickly got into the water, but I didn't know that as soon as my scalp entered the bottom of the water, a big rock fell from the top of my head, which made me dizzy. I secretly thought it was dangerous, if I hadn't entered the water in time, I would have been crushed to death.But Shu Shan disappeared, where did she go?I put my head out of the water, intending to take a breath, but at this moment, two arms under the water hugged my calf.I have always been afraid of underwater things, not to mention that when I was a child, I met a female ghost by the river, and my heart was somewhat shadowed, so I wanted to kick it with the other foot.But as soon as I lifted my feet, I remembered that this might be Shu Shan, so I held my two hands together and forcefully pulled them out of the water. It turned out to be Shu Shan who was pulled out by me. She spit out a few mouthfuls of stinky water, took a deep breath, and only half of her life was left.I was thinking, I have no strength, I don't know if she sinks next time, if I can catch her again. At this time, I saw that cracks had appeared on several cliffs in the cave, and these cracks were getting bigger and bigger, and gravel was constantly falling from the roof of the cave. I no longer knew which layer of rock these gravel came from. block.The direction of the observation deck also slowly collapsed. The white marble railing was broken and fell into the water. The entrance of the cave was completely blocked by gravel, and we had no way out.I guess that the tomb on the upper floor should have collapsed as well. Since I don't have a rope on my body, I can't tie Shushan to me. I can only support her at all times. If she sinks to the bottom, I will face major trouble.In fact, water is a good refuge, at least here it is.Because after the boulder falls into the water, it will receive huge resistance and will not hurt people in the water.Then a person's death will only happen at the moment when he comes up to take a breath. If he is not hit during this period, this person will continue to live, just like I just saved my life because I sank to the bottom of the water.However, Shu Shan is an out-and-out two-handed knife. I was afraid that she would not be able to get out if she plunged into the bottom of the water, so I didn't dare to hide under the water. Suddenly, I felt a tearing pain in my calf, as if I was bitten by something.I threw my legs to the surface of the water, only to find that it was a fish with teeth, about half a meter long, with black scales on its body, and very sharp fins with sharp spines. A lot of blood flowed from the calf bitten by the fish's mouth, and the blood slowly spread in the water, attracting more fish of this kind.This kind of fish lives at the bottom of the water all the year round and does not see sunlight. It relies on its sense of smell to prey. When it smells blood, it quickly gathers.Snakes are also very similar to this kind of creature. This kind of creature has poor vision, but its sense of smell is quite sensitive.Although we humans also have a certain sense of smell, we can only distinguish between oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and alcohol, and what we really rely on is vision. Of course, I was not the only one who was bitten. Shu Shan was also bitten by this kind of fish on the lower back.There was a look of horror on her face, and she was very dissatisfied with the arrival of the underwater creatures. "This is... what's going on? Why is there something else in the water? What's the man-faced beast for? They didn't clean it up." Shu Shan suddenly regained her spirits. "Maybe it doesn't suit the taste of the man-faced beast." I smiled wryly. "Maybe, it's just because the man-faced beast's skin is too thick, so it wasn't eaten by this kind of fish." "Oh, this dead thing, dare to bite my ass." Shu Shan held the gun and shot into the water. But needless to say, this random shot was really effective, and it actually killed one fish, and the killed fish was quickly shared by other fish.Seeing this, I fired a few more shots at the school of fish and killed a few, and quickly attracted the school of fish.Even so, this can only save lives, and cannot completely eradicate the harassment of fish schools.I'm fine, as long as I keep swimming, I can avoid the bite of this fish.As for Shu Shan, it was miserable. She couldn't swim, so she could only struggle. Now the cliff separating the steep slope and the Jiayun bridge has completely collapsed after breaking from the middle.And the top supported by this cliff is also constantly falling down with stones.In addition to large landslides on the surrounding cliffs, large cracks more than one meter wide appeared in many places, as if an earthquake had occurred. The water in the deep pool began to gush out continuously, and it seemed that this deep pool would no longer exist. The biggest benefit of the appearance of this group of piranhas is to promote Shu Shan to learn to swim.In fact, she just wanted not to be bitten by these schools of fish, but just in the process of avoiding, she swam farther and farther, and even came to the edge of a cliff with me. We wanted to take a rest here after going ashore, but we didn't know that the crack behind us suddenly widened. The crack that was originally less than half a meter suddenly widened by two or three meters, which caused a large stream of water to pour in.Due to the strong water potential, a huge vortex formed at the entrance of the crack, and Shushan and I were also sucked into it. After the two of us were hit by the water waves, we quickly entered this not-so-wide canyon that had just been formed.There are no shallows in this canyon, only cliffs.Limited by vision, the cliff looks high into the clouds, without the top of the cliff, and the entire canyon is pitch black. After I got out of the water waves, I couldn't see Shu Shan anymore, and I was the only one left in the whole deep canyon.I don't know where this newly formed canyon will lead to, and I don't know how deep this canyon is, and my hands have been clung to the stones of the cliff. These stones have obvious traces of being torn, which makes people marvel at the power of nature, and feel the terrible changes in the natural world. But is this the power of nature, or is this a mechanism set up by the King of Yue thousands of years ago. There is no answer to all this anymore, and all the things in the tomb ceased to exist with its destruction. The cracks in the canyon widened further, the cliff on the other side was farther and farther away from me, and more and more water flowed in. My hands could no longer hold the rocks in the canyon, and I was quickly washed into the canyon by the flood the depths. This geographical change lasted for about 20 minutes before it completely stopped, and I no longer knew where I was.But what is certain is that I am still in the vicinity of the tomb. After floating in the water for a while, I stood up from the water and realized that the water was not very deep. I leaned on the cliff and looked at the endless water flow on both sides, feeling lost in my heart.First of all, the partners who came with me are afraid that we will never be able to gather together again. I don’t know how many of these people died, and I don’t know how many of them will survive.Secondly, I don't know where I am, maybe I can't find the way out again, and I may starve to death here.Again, the people I miss and the people who miss me don't know what's going on, are they sleeping soundly. I was only one step slower than Fourth Uncle and the others, and I lost contact with them completely.And there is Shu Shan, originally I had a companion, but because of the strong water waves, she also disappeared.It seems that what grandma said is right, the most taboo thing in the ancient tomb is to take orders. I tapped the flashlight and found that it was still working.After being sucked into the water waves just now, I turned it off, for fear of short circuit after entering the water.I looked around with my flashlight, wishing a zombie would show up and take care of me now, lest I have anything to worry about. Suddenly, my calf tightened, as if I was bitten by something again.I was in a bad mood, I really wanted to do whatever I wanted, but unfortunately I also lost my micro-flush while falling into the water.In a moment of desperation, I took out my Xingxiu Knife from my calf boots, aimed it underwater and inserted it.After I was stabbed by that thing, it really became more honest. After I picked it out with a dagger, I found it was a piranha in a deep pool. When I saw this piranha, I immediately became angry and thought: You have picked on me again and again, I can't let you go.So I was heartbroken, cut the scales of the fish with a knife, and ate the fish raw.However, what I didn't expect was that although the water was stinky, the fish meat was quite fragrant. I ate a large piece happily before throwing the rest of the fish into the water. It may be because this fish lives in the cave all year round, and the fish meat is highly nutritious. After eating this fish, I feel a little stronger and warmer.I put away the dagger, and became more attached to this dagger. No matter how many times it came and went in the wind and rain, it saved me. After walking in the water for a while, I suddenly had the idea of ​​looking for Shushan. I think this girl is relatively simple, especially before the fission of the tomb, she was the only one with me, I can't just leave her like this.At least to live to see people, to die to see corpses. So I ran back desperately! At the beginning the water level was relatively low, and you could still run for a while, but then the water level deepened, and with the huge current, the deeper you went, the more difficult it was.I pulled the stone wall and swam desperately to the depths of the canyon, but there was still no trace.After swimming for more than 20 minutes, I felt that I had no more strength, so I shouted Shu Shan's name into the depths of the canyon, but the deep valley was full of my echoes, and there was no response from Shu Shan. Just when I was about to take a breath and rush into the cave for a while, I saw a huge water wave appearing more than 10 meters away from the tomb.I saw that the water wave was about 3 meters in diameter, and I was really surprised, thinking, there are quite a lot of strange creatures under the water.So I stuck my body tightly on the cliff, and then quietly pulled out the dagger, ready to wait for the opportunity to strike first. The water wave first appeared at a position of more than 10 meters, and then swam a few meters towards the direction of the tomb. After a while, it swam towards me for a few meters. It was really active.I locked the flashlight firmly on the water, not daring to make a sound.Who knew that after a while, after the thing swam deep for a while, it actually swam towards me, and it got closer and closer.By the light of the flashlight, I saw that it was a dark object, its surface was oily black, but it had a snow-white face. What is this! I am intimidated by this thing! Could it be that this thing lives by smell too, knowing that my leg is broken? "Li Yishui, is that you?" Who is talking to me? "Li Yishui?" Could it be this thing in front of me? Now this thing is less than 5 meters away from me, I opened my eyes wide to see, and found that it was not an unknown creature at all, but Shu Shan. "My God, you're alive!" I exclaimed.I couldn't believe my eyes, I didn't expect Shu Shan's swimming ability to grow so fast, she was completely self-taught.I thought the water waves she rolled just now were giant creatures.She called my name, I still can't believe it, my God, the visual transition is so painful and happy! "Is it really you?" I heard Shu Shan was about to cry. "It's me!" I was also a little excited. Shu Shan's fair face was full of tears, and her long hair had been scattered for a long time. She wandered in the dark night for too long, and finally she lay on my shoulder and cried loudly.
