Volume 1 Chapter 39: Lotus Terrace
I just told Dawu that there are no vents in the cave we are in, and we will suffocate to death when the oxygen runs out.
However, now Dawu has lit this burial pit. Fire requires a lot of oxygen to burn. Moreover, this burial pit is so big that burning will consume almost all the oxygen here.
My face was gloomy, and my second brother also stared directly at Dawu and cursed: "You are such a fucking stupid ass. If you light this pit, the oxygen will be depleted immediately. The place will soon be filled with smoke, choking everyone."
Choked to death!"
The second brother cursed and was angry, and kicked Da Wu hard twice. Da Wu's face was full of regret: "I, I didn't think so much. I was anxious when I saw the snake egg just now... I was beaten by the snake outside just now."
The diamond python is scared."
The three of us just watched the fire in the pit helplessly, without the slightest remedy. The fire got bigger and bigger, igniting the entire burial pit, and there were bursting sounds from time to time.
That was the sound of snake eggs being fried and exploded.
Suddenly, the cave we were in began to shake, and a lot of dust and gravel fell from above our heads. We ran around holding our heads.
The tunnel that we had sealed just now was hearing constant crashing sounds. My heart sank. The diamond python was not dead, and was still in the tunnel.
It sensed that its own kind were being burned to death, and wished it could rush in immediately and devour the three of us alive.
"The diamond python is still outside. Fortunately, I didn't have the urge to move the stone just now..."
Dawu and I were already sweating profusely from the high temperature caused by the fire. After taking off our coats, our skin began to feel hot again. I thought to myself that we would be burned to death by the high temperature before we were suffocated to death by the smoke and suffocation.
!
In the light of the fire, the entire cave became brighter, and the roof of the cave, which we had not paid much attention to, was also illuminated at this time.
There is a large lotus platform in the middle of the cave roof. The bottom of the platform is the same color as the stone wall. So when I just used a flashlight to shine on the roof of the cave, the light angle was not good, and the bottom of the lotus platform was
The color of the lotus platform is similar to that of the cave roof, so the lotus platform was not found.
The lotus platform is suspended in the air by four iron cables. Due to the height problem, we cannot see the lotus platform directly below it.
"This lotus platform seems to be made of jade. It would be worth a lot of money if it could be moved out." The second brother sighed.
I ignored my second brother, but looked at the fire next to me and the very sparse smoke, and made a bold guess in my mind. I quickly stepped back and shouted to Dawu: "Dawu, come here quickly and let me ride on you."
On the neck!”
"Third Master, you still have the intention to prank me at this time..."
"What a joke, uncle, squat down quickly and let me ride on your neck. I can't see you from the ground... There may be a way out on the lotus platform!"
Dawu looked at me suspiciously, then at his second brother, then walked up to me and squatted down.
I didn’t hesitate, and rode directly on Dawu’s neck, then patted his shoulder and motioned for him to stand up. After Dawu stood up, I kept asking him to adjust his position, and finally I saw him at a place very close to the burial pit.
There is a dark hole in the dome directly above the lotus platform.
Most of the smoke from the burial pit went into the cave, so we never choked on the smoke.
"Second brother, there is an exit on the lotus platform... Hurry, find a way to get to the lotus platform!"
"exit?"
The second brother imitated me and rode on Dawu's shoulders again. When he saw the exit I mentioned, he said in surprise: "Qiuzi, how did you know there was an exit on the lotus platform?"
"After the fire started, smoke was obviously constantly being produced, but we were never choked by the smoke, and there was not a lot of smoke accumulated on the dome. This is logically impossible, unless there is a place where the smoke can escape.
.....When I saw the lotus platform on the dome, I immediately thought that the place where the smoke could be evacuated was probably on the lotus platform... Not to mention this, the top priority is to leave here immediately, even if the smoke
If the smoke doesn't kill us, the high temperature will burn us to death."
The second brother nodded and immediately told Dawu: "Dawu, there is a nylon rope in the backpack. You can find a way to get the rope to the lotus platform."
I looked up at the Lotus Terrace. It was at least ten meters away from us. It was almost impossible to get up there. But now the only exit was up there, so I had to try.
Dawu took out the nylon rope from his backpack. Although the length was enough, he had to find a way to tie the rope somewhere on the lotus platform if he wanted to go up.
Dawu searched around and tied one end of the nylon rope to a stone on the ground in a strange knotting method. Then he shook it hard several times and threw it towards the lotus platform.
I threw it several times in a row, but even though it touched the lotus platform, the diameter of the stone was too short and there was no way it could get stuck on the lotus platform. The stone with a slightly larger diameter was too heavy and it was impossible to throw it as high as ten meters.
There was nothing else around. In panic, Dawu saw the gun still on the ground. He immediately took off the rope and tied it to one end of the gun.
The gun is indeed a good choice. It is not very heavy and the diameter is just enough for the length we need. Dawu checked the position this time and threw it hard. The gun was stuck on the lotus platform with the nylon rope.
Dawu tried to pull it and found that it was firmly fixed. At this time, we started to find some large rocks and pressed the other end of the nylon rope to the ground.
It took us more than ten minutes to work together to move the largest rocks in the cave and place them on the ropes.
In just this moment, the temperature inside the cave became higher and higher, and the fire became more and more intense.
I frowned and murmured: "It's weird, it's just that Dawu poured some gasoline on it. Even if it can burn for a while, the fire should be small. There are only human bones and a bunch of snake eggs in the pit. How could it burn for so long?"
?”
The fire was very strange. I immediately told my second brother about this discovery. The second brother was stunned for a moment and was obviously surprised. However, the temperature in the cave was almost unbearable for people to stay any longer, and the second brother didn't care.
, let us get out of here first.
But my second brother and I thought too simply. There was just a nylon rope connected in the air. If we wanted to go up to the lotus platform, we could only rely on our own arm strength to grab a single nylon rope and go up to the lotus platform.
This is the same as changing your arms to hang on the horizontal bar. If your arm strength is insufficient, it is impossible to reach the key point.
What's more, this is not a horizontal bar on flat ground, this is going up.
With Da Wu's skill, it is not difficult to climb up to the Lotus Platform, but it is not that easy for my second brother and I. There are only two opportunities before us. If we fail to climb up twice, we will have to wait until we are exhausted.
ten minutes.
