The Baron and Fang Tianyuan went all the way to their heads, the lights were dim, and they still didn't find anything valuable. The air was so thin that they walked back the same way.
The two returned to the cave again, summoned three more people, brought emergency lights that could last longer and high-tech oxygen masks, and then walked to the depths of the cave with boxes full of food and medicine.
When Han Fei and Chen Qiaoqiao appeared at Shidongkou, the Baron and Fang Tianyuan had reached their first position. The Baron was a little tired because he took a lot of things.
"Almost. Let's have a rest here and continue!" After walking so far in one breath, although he had nothing in his hand, the Baron was a little unable to hold on. He wanted to have a rest, eat something and drink water.
"Then take a break." With a flattering smile, Fang Tianyuan stopped and sat cross legged.
The other three have long wanted to rest. Hear the command. Nod gratefully, then sit down panting.
For the Baron, the three people who followed him were the tools for transporting things. Of course, they also have another value, that is, when in danger, these three people can replace themselves.
I don't know why. After going deep into the underground palace, the Baron was a little flustered. Over the years, dozens of tombs have been entered. This strange feeling is the first time.
But the more so, the more excited the Baron was. Xuanwu, one of the four divine beasts, is a terrible existence. If there are large pieces of basaltic debris in the underground palace, they will naturally burst out of coercion, and their panic will become reasonable.
Five people ate something and it was almost time to go to bed. Naturally, we can't go on.
The Baron doesn't propose to go, and no one can go. The three attendant killers don't want to go. They are all ordinary people. They naturally have to rest at night.
Fang Tianyuan had no choice but to sit on the ground and began to practice! Although the air in the ancient tomb is thin, it is very pure. Although cultivation has no effect, it is better than boring waiting.
The underground palace was quiet and terrible. In order to save energy, the searchlights were turned off. For a moment, all five people were in darkness.
Although practitioners like Fang Tianyuan have better eyesight than ordinary people and can see things at night, they can only see things through weak light, such as weak moonlight, but if it is all dark, even experts in Qi training can't help.
The Baron rested, but Fang Tianyuan had to be vigilant. Along the way, with the wind and water, there was not even a mouse or reptile in the underground palace. At the beginning, Fang Tianyuan secretly congratulated himself, but when you think about it carefully, this strange situation shows that the underground palace is very dangerous.
If there are monsters in the underground palace that eat these small animals, isn't it very dangerous for them to enter? Therefore, entering the underground palace again, Fang Tianyuan suggested that the Baron bring three more people. If there are treasures in the underground palace, these three people don't want to leave alive. If there are no secrets in the underground palace, three more people can help share the sundries, which is much better than their own.
Fang Tianyuan is so cranky that he can't practice at ease. Peeping at the Baron, he looked calm. All the way. Although the Baron didn't say much, he reminded himself to avoid many dangers.
Fang Tianyuan still doesn't understand why this powerful old man, who is famous in Europe, wants to explore the underground palace. There are no cultural relics here for a long time. It's been deserted for so many years. What's the meaning of coming in!
However, if the Baron wants to come in, Fang Tianyuan, who is the person to treat the crime, can only be willing to be a bodyguard.
The three killers slept well because they were too tired, and an expert like Fang Tianyuan acted as a bodyguard. Naturally, they had a good rest.
After six hours, the Baron woke up and simply took a bite of compressed biscuits and canned food. They got up again and began to move forward.
The road was the same as before, rugged and endless, but this time it took more than two hours. There was a fork in the passage ahead, just like the wrong passage at the entrance of the underground palace.
The passage of the underground palace has a fork in the road. I haven't met it before, but it's the first time I've encountered a fork in the road after walking for so long.
"Which way?" Fang Tianyuan turned and asked.
"Let's study together. Don't worry." At this time, we can't worry. We can only rely on calm analysis. The Baron waved his hand to the people to sit down and discuss.
A broken map was spread out with many small characters on it. As a Chinese, Fang Tianyuan was ashamed because the Baron knew those words, but he didn't know a few.
In the information, it is indeed mentioned that there may be a fork in the road to the underground palace!
According to the information, one of the roads is a dead end. The meaning of this dead end is not to lead to death. It means that you can't get through and can't reach your destination.
Of course, it's not just that you can't get through. There are also forks in this road. There are forks in the forks. The opening and closing are complex. After entering, you are likely to get lost in it, but there is no danger. If you want to get out, you can only go back the same way. Otherwise, no matter which fork you choose, you will go back and forth inside.
"There is no difference between the two roads... Eh?" Fang Tianyuan just wanted to say that there was no difference between the two roads, but after drawing the searchlight closer, he saw some words engraved on the channel wall at the entrance of the two channels - or irregular codes!
"There's handwriting here!" Fang Tianyuan shouted excitedly and touched the cold symbols.
"Maybe it's some secret signs left by the tomb robbers who entered the underground palace channel before!" The Baron stood up, came over, nodded and said, "but what do these symbols mean?"
The Baron is also an expert in the study of tombs, but he has never seen the symbols on these walls.
"I haven't seen it!" Fang Tianyuan shook his head after looking carefully. His inside information was not as good as that of the Baron, so he couldn't see why.
"Feel it!" A killer named Edward seldom speaks. Seeing Fang Tianyuan and the Baron hesitant, he opened his mouth and pointed to two roads“ This road, according to my feeling. Issued a strong warning signal, which proved to be dangerous! Let's go the other way. "
According to common sense, the Baron would certainly choose the road that did not send out danger warning signals. However, after a slight pause, the Baron chose the dangerous and rugged path.
The first way. There is no danger, isn't that the dead end? Although there is no danger, it is impossible. The other dangerous road is obviously not a dead end, because there is no danger in the dead end.
"This road is not dangerous, but I'm afraid it's a dead end. I can't get through. " The Baron pointed to the passage without danger, and then pointed to the next passage, "this road has a strong smell of danger, but it should be the right way, because the road to the underground palace can't be plain sailing."
"This... Is good!" In fact, Fang Tianyuan prefers to take the road without danger first. After all, even if there is no danger, it is not too late to return. This is a safer way. However, the Baron has made a decision, and Fang Tianyuan can only follow.
However, day and night passed, and the Baron and others came back. Taking lime powder as a sign, they can always come out again if they go wrong, but they all have gray and earthy faces when they come back. Obviously, they are tired of walking around the channel and getting nothing.
Edward's face was ugly, and he was probably scolded and ridiculed all the way. However, Edward was also wronged. He clearly suggested taking the road that was not dangerous, but the Baron insisted on taking the dangerous road. What you said is clear and reasonable. Why do you blame yourself in the end!
The Baron did not say anything more, nor did he blame himself. He looked at the road calmly without feeling any danger.
"Can we... Have a rest?" The other two killers are not cultivators. They are tired to death day and night. With the urging of Tianyuan above, they dare not be lazy.
"Then rest yourself. We waste too much time day and night." Ignoring the killer's suggestion, the Baron got up and went to another passage.
Edward naturally wanted to rest. His legs were like lead and couldn't move. But. The Baron can insist at such an old age. He has no reason to be lazy.
"You two losers, get up and go!" How can Fang Tianyuan let the Baron act alone? Fang Tianyuan saw that the Baron had real skills. If he didn't act with him, I'm afraid he would have been lost in the underground palace.
The two killers were startled and quickly stood up. They had no choice but to follow the Baron and climb forward.
The same road, the same stone wall, high and low, left and right, people walked forward by the searchlight.
As we went farther and farther, the passage seemed to become more and more spacious, from more than two meters wide to three meters, four meters and five meters... In the end, it became about ten meters wide!
In this case, people also understand that this time they are going the right way. It is estimated that the underground palace is ahead, and the road becomes wider and wider, but it shows that there should be an ambush in front of them.
Suddenly, the Baron stopped, and Fang Tianyuan and others became nervous.
"Look on the ground!" The Baron pointed forward and said faintly.
"Oh?" After listening to the Baron's words, they began to look for it on the ground. Finally, under the right wall in front of them, they saw a white bone! Under the irradiation of the searchlight, it emits a dull white light, which is terrible!
