"Put these explosives in the mouse hole. Let's blow it up and see if we can find a way out. This mouse can definitely get out of here, don't you think?" I suggested.
Hearing my explanation, the eldest senior brother immediately shook his head and said, "Youngest junior brother, I think you should stop dreaming. We have at least one more place to stay, and if with your explosion, this place we are staying at will collapse. That would be a really good idea."
"If you don't try, how do you know? Even if there are so many excavators here, it would probably take ten days to half a month to reach here. By then, we would have already starved to death. I think we should try it, right?" I advised.
The eldest senior brother pondered for a moment before agreeing with me. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's give it a try. At worst, I'll just throw away my life."
Since Eldest Senior Brother agreed, then there was nothing left to say. At that moment, I took out the explosives, lit one, and threw it into the mouse hole. Then Eldest Senior Brother and I took a few steps back, and just as we steadied ourselves, we heard a dull boom.
Dust and rocks continued to fall from the air as the eldest senior brother panicked and said to me, "Youngest junior brother, I thought you were unreliable. Look, this place is about to collapse."
I looked in the direction of the mouse hole. Although the hole had expanded a lot, it was still a little difficult for us to get in. Furthermore, it was dark inside and there wasn't any light at all.
If he had to give it his all, then he would die.
Taking advantage of the fact that the tomb hadn't completely collapsed yet, I fished out three explosives in a row and threw them into the hole.
Then, with three muffled rumbling sounds, a strong smell of gunpowder came rolling over from the hole.
This tomb finally couldn't withstand such a violent vibration any longer. Large chunks of stone began to fall down from the ceiling.
As soon as I saw that the situation wasn't looking good, I immediately called the eldest senior brother to pack up and hide inside the hole.
In the midst of all this chaos, we grabbed our backpacks and our respective magic tools. I supported Eldest Martial Brother and went into the hole. Afterwards, we headed deeper into the hole that exploded.
A rumbling sound suddenly came from behind us. The place we were at a moment ago had completely collapsed. It was impossible for us to return now. We could only walk in the dark.
Not long after we entered the cave, a wave of dust and air came from the cave and hit Big Senior and I on our backs. The two of us were knocked to the ground by the wave of air, and after a long while, the wave of air calmed down. Big Senior and I were covered in dust, and at this moment, we were like two beggars.
Eldest Martial Brother and I crawled up with lingering fear in our hearts. We didn't lose an arm or a leg; this was something to rejoice about.
I fished out the powerful light flashlight. At this moment, I realised that the light flashlight was already out of power. That is to say, we have stayed in this underground tomb for at least 24 hours.
However, Big Senior also had a powerful flashlight, which immediately illuminated the road in front of us. When Big Senior shone his light in front of us, the two of us instantly became as cold as eggplants, and we lowered our heads, because there was no other path three to five meters in front of us. This was a dead end.
Immediately, the eldest senior brother sighed and said, "Youngest junior brother, I don't know if you've heard of this before, but if you don't die, then you won't die. Now, we could have lived for two more days, but if we were to explode like this, we wouldn't even live for a day, what do you think we should do?"
I took the powerful flashlight from my eldest senior brother and walked towards the front. After carefully shining it on the wall, I discovered that it wasn't made of mud but brick. This meant that the wall was man-made.
I called my eldest senior brother over and said, "Eldest senior brother, there might be an exit behind this wall. Why don't we try it again and see what's behind us?"
When the senior apprentice brother heard my words, he was so scared that his face immediately turned green. He quickly shook his head and said, "Youngest junior brother, I think you should give up. No matter what, there is still a place for us.
Eldest Brother was right. Although the Thai explosives are small in size, but they are very powerful. Maybe we two martial brothers would really die here.
However, I did not give up, and directly took out my wooden sword, squatting down to dig at the wall. The sword that I had been using for the past three cycles of thousand years was covered in a layer of metal, I did not know what it was, but it was extremely hard, so it could not be said that I had cut it into pieces.
I squatted on the ground and continuously used my wooden sword to dig at the walls. Eldest senior brother's body was weak and he couldn't use any strength, so he could only squat to the side and watch.
After about an hour of digging, half of the drill was broken, but the air in there seemed to have thinned out a lot, and it was getting harder for me to breathe.
The eldest senior brother's face flushed red and he told me, "Youngest junior brother..." Don't waste your energy... I'm a little out of breath... "Are we really going to suffocate to death here …"
I didn't reply to the eldest senior brother. I continued digging at the bricks in the corner. These were black bricks. The boss was one of them. I wasted a lot of effort before I managed to get half of it down.
It's getting harder and harder to breathe. If there's no exit behind this wall, we're definitely going to die today.
I gritted my teeth, not daring to stop, and after another five minutes it was hard not to breathe.
I finally couldn't hold it in any longer and threw away the wooden sword in my hand. After taking in a deep breath of thin air, I circulated the Qi Sea in my Dantian and smashed my palm against the wall, causing the brick to fly out. A hole that was about fifty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide appeared in front of me.
When the wind blew in, it proved that this place was connected to the outside world. This made me very happy.
