Chapter 70 - The Underground Cave
Professor Zhang stretched out his hand to take the six-clawed golden toad jade pendant in my hand and wanted to take it over to take a look, but at this moment something happened suddenly, and he saw a piece of earth cracked at the top of the sand wall behind them, a piece of earth wall as big as an adult's palm.
It fell straight up.
But this scene was noticed by Tian Tian who was looking around. Seeing that the falling earth wall was about to hit me on the head, Tian Tian stretched out his hand and pushed me aside.
Tian Tian's strength was so great that I didn't have any precautions at this time. Tian Tian pushed my whole body to the ground and almost made me fall into a dog's mouth.
But just now Professor Zhang wanted to take the Golden Toad Jade Pendant from my hand, and just now I opened my hand to hand it to Professor Zhang, but with such a push from Tian Tian, the jade pendant in my hand fell directly to everyone's feet.
The moment I landed on the ground, a piece of the earth wall above my head also fell to the ground, and suddenly hit the Six-clawed Golden Toad Jade Pendant.
Li Kun quickly ran to my side and helped me up. Zhang Ahqi on the side was closest to the jade pendant and wanted to pick it up, but just as Zhang Ahqi squatted down to pick up the jade pendant,
In an instant, everyone was stunned by the sudden intrusion.
The moment the jade pendant was hit by the earthen wall, the ground where the jade pendant was located actually began to shake violently. Kan Zhen even screamed strangely and shouted "Earthquake". But at this scene, everyone was watching
Dumbfounded.
After the ground shook for a while, the sand beneath everyone's feet began to stir slowly, and suddenly began to rise and fall slowly.
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the slowly stirring soil on the ground suddenly burst open, as if a grenade had been placed on the ground. Dust flew everywhere for a moment, and everyone stepped back a few steps.
Step away from the exploding ground.
Then everyone felt a cold breath eroding everyone's whole body. A huge roar suddenly came from the place where the explosion occurred, and a huge black figure rushed straight in front of everyone's eyes.
High in the sky, a cold hurricane instantly gave everyone goosebumps!
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them, and then they all raised their heads and looked into the sky. They saw some black shadow somewhere in the sky, and all they could see was a patch of yellow sand.
Everyone was confused by this sudden situation. At this moment, Professor Zhang came to his senses and shouted loudly: "I know, I know! That one just now was the guiding dragon of the Golden Toad Ancient Clan. It must be
that is."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Then everyone turned to look at the ground where the huge figure had just appeared, and saw a circular hole more than one meter wide appeared on the ground!
When I saw this, I was shocked. Then I saw the jade pendant of the six-clawed golden toad at the edge of the cave entrance. Seeing that the jade pendant was not lost just now, I knelt down and picked it up.
Then I heard Professor Zhang exclaim, pointing to the circular hole on the ground, and said: "This, is this the cave to enter the ruins of the Jinchan ancient tribe? Ah Qi, give me the flashlight quickly!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ahqi quickly took out two flashlights from his backpack, and everyone also started to pick up lighting tools, and all walked to the edge of the cave entrance to shine down.
When I walked to the edge of the cave entrance, I saw a black stone staircase appearing below. Seeing this black stone staircase, Professor Zhang turned to look at me and said: "This must be it, this must be it! Leader Liu
, we found it!”
The moment I saw this stone staircase, my anxious heart finally slowed down. Fortunately, I found this stone staircase. Otherwise, even if everyone could escape this black sand storm, they would still be trapped.
Without water, he died of thirst in the desert.
Seeing this, I quickly waved my hand to invite everyone to enter the cave entrance, but I turned around and looked at Mr. Queeny. Now the only thing I can't let go of is Mr. Queeny. If we all go down below, Mr. Queeny will
If we leave, we won't have any way to survive.
I walked up to the old man and said, "Old man, will you go down with us, or wait for us here."
Mr. Queenie glanced at everyone, then turned to look at me and said: "I will not go down to the tomb. You are not the descendants of the desert god. There is nothing wrong with entering the tomb, but I can't do it. I can't do it. If I go down, I will definitely die."
Yes, the God of the Desert will blame me. Don't worry, I will wait for you here. If anything happens to you, I will be taken away by the police station even if I can go back alive. In that case, I will probably only live for the rest of my life.
Now that you can live in prison, you have to get out as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Professor Zhang said: "Brother, the black sandstorm here is coming soon. Why don't you go inside and hide for a while? I want to hide down there for a while in order to survive. The God of the Desert will not blame you."
."
The old man quickly waved his hand to indicate not to go down. Then the old man walked to Xu Tian and said: "Remember our agreement, I will stay here until noon tomorrow. If you don't come out by that time, I will leave by myself in the evening."
Otherwise, I will die of thirst in the desert."
Hearing this, Xu Tian nodded, patted Mr. Queenie on the shoulder, and then said to us: "Old Liu, let's go down."
I nodded, then turned around and waved to everyone, and said: "Old Li and Lao Xu, you two are exploring the road ahead with me. Tian Tian, you stay with Professor Zhang and the others to take care of them at all times. Zhao Songbai congratulates you two on the team."
Tai, let’s go down.”
After saying that, several people nodded. Li Kun, Xu Tian, and the three of us picked up the Type 79 submachine gun slung across our bodies, turned on the bright flashlight on it, and started walking slowly in front.
This section of stairs seems to be no less than tens of meters deep. When shining a bright flashlight on the stairs, you can't see the end at a glance.
The height of the stairs is about two meters, which is just enough for ordinary people to pass normally. The top of the stairs is relatively smooth and extends straight down at a straight and inclined angle. I put the jade pendant in my arms and walked cautiously at the front.
, Li Kun and Xu Tian were following closely behind me, while the people behind me were some distance away from the three of us.
After all, we have a large number of people, so if any agency is discovered in front and wants to retreat in time, we can still leave some room.
I opened my mouth and said to the people behind me: "Be careful at the top of the stairs. It is full of fine sand and it is easy to slip when you step on it. Professor Zhang, please walk slowly. The three of us will go down first and take a look."
Professor Zhang responded behind me, and I nodded to the three people around me, quickened my pace and explored the way down.
This section of the road was beyond our expectations. It took us almost seven or eight minutes to walk, but we still hadn’t reached the bottom of the stairs.
Xu Tian behind me said to me: "Lao Liu, we have walked underground for about fifty or sixty meters now. Why haven't we reached the end yet? And I think the oxygen inside is surprisingly sufficient.
, is it possible that the underground is ventilated?"
I was also frowning at this time, and started to guess in my heart. If my prediction was correct, the place we came down just now should be a higher place in the desert, so we have not reached the bottom after walking for so long. If
If it were normal tombs, we would have already arrived at the location of the tomb. It seems that the tomb of the Golden Toad Ancient Clan is not that deep.
I turned around and saw that Professor Zhang and the others were no longer visible. I could only see a weak beam of light behind them.
I said solemnly: "According to my estimation, we are not far from the bottom. It is not without reason that the oxygen here is sufficient. According to my guess, the bottom of the stairs is not the location of the tomb, and there is a higher distance from the tomb.
A certain distance away, and if you listen carefully, can you hear the sound of the river?"
After hearing what I said, the two of them listened carefully for a while, and Li Kun said: "There really is an underground river. It's fine now. I can finally drink water again. Let's go quickly. Let's go down and have a good drink first. I don't know.
I'm going to die of thirst."
I nodded and said, "Well, let's speed up and go down to investigate first. Besides, my throat is already smoking. If I don't drink some water, I will probably become dehydrated."
After saying that, the three people immediately quickened their pace and continued walking down.
Sure enough, after walking for a while this time, the sound of the river became more and more clear. I used a strong flashlight to carefully shine in front, and I saw a piece of sandy ground.
The three of them walked straight down the stairs. The moment they came out of the stairs, their field of vision suddenly became completely broadened.
The three of them took a closer look and saw that this place was actually a flat and huge cave dug deep underground.
At a glance, they were surrounded by rocks of different sizes. When the three of them looked up, they saw that the space here was surprisingly large. The caves here alone were probably the size of two basketball courts, with both sides covered with rocks.
There is no road on the rock, only a rock path about five or six meters wide leading straight ahead.
The three of them all raised their heads and looked at the landscape here. Li Kun couldn't help but exclaimed: "My dear, the height of this cave is really not low. I'm afraid this cave must be seven or eight meters high. I didn't expect this."
It’s actually so big down there.”
Xu Tian looked at Li Kun with a smile and said, "Old Li, I didn't expect that you were just observing this cave this time and didn't see any crystal stones around here."
After hearing this, Li Kun noticed that there were actually a lot of crystal stones embedded in the rocks on both sides of the cave.
Driven by curiosity, Li Kun walked straight to the edge of the cave on our left, pulled out a folding engineer shovel from behind and knocked on it. After hearing a ping ping sound, Li Kun curled his mouth and said
: "I thought it was some kind of good thing. Isn't it just crystal? We still have something in the store. I think this thing is very heavy and can't be removed. It's useless."
After saying that, he started to observe carefully inside the cave.
