C155

At the end of the tunnel was a huge ancient city.

A city that was large enough to hold over a thousand people.

Of course, using the word 'primitive' to describe a tomb was not accurate.

When Fang Zishu and the rest stepped into this huge space, they were completely shocked by what they saw.

This was because what they saw was not the Main Tomb, but a huge city, a Stone City made entirely out of obsidian.

This Stone City was something that could completely enlarge and transform a cave, so using the words' Primordial City 'to describe it wasn't too excessive.

Underneath their feet was a 'small-sized' moat.

On the other side of the moat was a city gate made of obsidian.

Outside the city gate hung a ten-meter long bamboo suspension bridge. Everything was constructed exactly the same outside the ancient city.

"Wow, this Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty is so imposing!"

When Qi Sanbiaozi saw the Stone City that was not small in size, he could not help but exclaim in surprise: "As far as I know, the strength of the Northern Wei Country should be very average. I never thought that the Sovereign of the Northern Wei Country would actually have the ability to hollow out a mountain and build a miniature version of the city inside the mountain to serve as his mausoleum.

Hearing Qi Sanbiaozi say that, Fang Zishu said in disapproval, "The country of the Northern Wei is indeed not strong, but no matter which dynasty, as long as one is in power, there is nothing that is not rich, not to mention this tomb belongs to the Monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as he gave us a little tax, we can build this gigantic project right in front of us!"

Pang Dun pointed to the dried up ditch in front of him and rejoiced, "Fortunately, time has passed and this small moat in front of us has dried up. Otherwise, without setting down the suspension bridge, it would be impossible to cross this four to five metres in width!"

"Pang Dun, don't be happy too early, although the moat has dried up, the height of the moat is not low ah. From what I can see, the depth of this dry moat is at least six or seven meters, at this height, if we want to smoothly pass through it, it won't be easy!"

Professor Xu looked at the deep moat, and his eyes revealed worry.

Seeing that, the Qi Sanbiaozi laughed, and said: "Professor Xu, you do not have to worry about this, although the depth of the moat is not shallow, but we have this thing, I believe climbing up will not be difficult."

Qi Sanbiaozi was referring to something else. It was the 'Flying Tiger Claw' that he had used in the Frost Jade Water Cave.

The Flying Tiger Claw was originally used to climb high places. Although the depth of this dried up moat was as high as six or seven meters, if the Flying Tiger Claw found a firm and stable place, then it would not be difficult to climb up this moat.

"But on our side, we still have Xiao Hui, Professor Xu and the cops who are unable to move the 'Cadaveric Poison'. Even with the help of the Flying Tiger Claw, with their arm strength or the situation, I'm afraid it would be difficult to climb successfully."

Da Zeng was still a little worried. After all, the depth of this moat was not low.

On their side, Xiao Hui and Professor Xu, an old man and a young woman, definitely did not have enough strength left in their hands.

As for the note, although it had a sturdy body, it was basically a cripple when the Cadaveric Poison was unconscious.

It couldn't even be compared to Xiao Hui and the old Professor Xu.

"That's fine, we can use the nylon rope in our backpack to make a simple 'basket'. As long as two people go up, then with the combination of Flying Tiger Claw and human hands, we can definitely hoist Xiao Hui, Professor Xu and the bar." Fang Zishu waved his hand, and said: "Everyone don't worry, let's quickly cross the river and enter the Stone City. I feel that there are still many things waiting for us inside the Stone City."

"We will do as Master Fang says!"

Pang Dun nodded and took out the nylon rope from his backpack.

Previously, when they were in the hole, because they had to defend against the terrifying 'Red spot and green feather bat' outside, they gathered their backpacks. The result was that they would throw away any unnecessary items and leave a few bags filled with lime.

So a lot of useless things were thrown away, including nylon ropes.

One had to know that at the time of their departure, their backpacks had originally contained two bundles of thirty meters long nylon rope.

But now, they only had the bundle in Pang Dun's pocket as the only nylon rope they had left.

If it was used one-way, the thirty meter long nylon rope was indeed enough, but according to Fang Zishu's description, to make this climbing nylon rope look like a 'swing', in addition to the length of the simple basket and the Flying Tiger Claw, they would need to use the total length of the nylon rope to look at least thirty-five meters.

This also meant that even if Pang Dun had used all of the nylon rope in his hand, there was still a gap of five meters that needed to be filled.

Sure enough.

When Pang Dun finished weaving the nylon rope according to Fang Zishu's requirements, he realized its length was a little shorter.

"The nylon rope is not long enough. What should I do?"

"How much more do we need?"

Da Zeng wanted to know the exact length of the rope. In his opinion, if the rope wasn't lacking by much, they could use the method of 'man ladder' to send someone onto the 'basket'. That way, they could solve the problem of the nylon rope shortage.

"According to my calculations, it should be at least five meters long!"

When Pang Dun said this, his tone was full of helplessness.

If he had known that before he entered the Main Tomb s, he still had to cross a moat, then when he was in the pit, no matter what, he should not have thrown away the other bundle of nylon rope. But now, after throwing away a bundle of nylon rope, he did put in quite a lot of other things.

But now, he had no way to fill the gap of five meters.

Unless they returned to the hole where they discarded the nylon rope and found it and brought it back here, forget about entering the black Stone City, even the moat in front of them wouldn't be able to cross it.

"How about Pang Dun and I go back to the pit and retrieve the nylon rope?"

Da Zeng hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and suggested that they return to the pit with Pang Dun to retrieve the bundle of nylon rope that they discarded.

"Absolutely not, that hole has already been occupied by the Red Marching Ant, returning now is simply too dangerous!"

Just as Da Zeng said this, he was rejected by the Professor Xu.

If Da Zeng and the others were to be entangled by those Red Marching Ant after entering the hole, then not to mention taking out the abandoned nylon rope, they might not even be able to keep their own lives.

Seeing the bitter faces of the crowd, Fang Zishu suddenly thought of something, and could not help but laugh, "Actually, we can still go back, because we still have something to borrow."

"There is one more thing I can borrow?"

Qi Sanbiaozi was startled, then immediately shook his head: "I saw with my own eyes that Pang Dun had rummaged through the entire bag just now, and there isn't anything inside that can replace the nylon rope.

Fang Zishu smiled slightly and said, "Looks like all of you have forgotten something."

"What is it?" Da Zeng asked.

"Spider silk!"

"Spider silk?" Da Zeng was confused.

Fang Zishu immediately explained, "Previously, at the second coffin, which was at the location of the Bronze Coffin, didn't I ask Xiao Hui to collect a lot of spider silk spat out by the 'Grimace Spider'?"

After pausing for a moment, Fang Zishu continued, "The hardness and the weight they can bear are not inferior to the nylon rope. I believe that a bag of the 'Grimace Spider' worth of spider silk is enough to knead out a five meter long rope to make up for the shortage of the nylon rope …"
