Chapter 587: An Unattainable Hope
"I have indeed checked. If they go down the mountain along the mountain path, they will definitely encounter us; unless they jump off the cliff, as long as they stay on the mountain, this is the only tunnel where they can still hide."
"These tunnels are obviously the ones dug during tomb robberies. If there is a first tunnel, there will inevitably be a second one. Search inside and outside to see if there are any other tunnels nearby."
"Oh, that's also possible..." As he said that, the footsteps gradually faded away, and finally the voices of the two people talking and answering completely disappeared at the end of the robbery cave...
"They left?" Lan Qing asked softly.
"Don't believe what they say. If they really think this is the case, why are they talking so much nonsense? Why don't they just go out and look for it? What they are doing is just playing a double act. They actually believe that we are here.
They just want to paralyze us..." Wang Fan said as he touched the root of the opposite wall. Now that the way here has been blocked, Wang Fan can only find another way out.
Approaching the base of the wall, Wang Fan could clearly discern the scenery in front of him: several large wooden stakes of different lengths leaning against the wall, and beside the wooden stakes there were several carpenter's axes and dried mountain vines.
Wang Fan looked at the corner again and saw two skeletons that had turned into white bones.
"These two people must have been dead for at least a few years. I have seen it just now. They are probably trapped here and died..." Lan Qing sat on the ground and spoke calmly, as if it had nothing to do with her.
.
Wang Fan stared at the two corpses, "Then how did they get these wooden piles in? And why did they get them in?"
"Maybe he fell down just like us."
"No, how can ordinary people move so many wooden piles at once? They must have been moved in several times." Wang Fan denied Lan Qing's statement.
"...Maybe they are not ordinary people?" Lan Qing said unconvinced.
"Have you ever heard of how advanced the tomb robber's martial arts are? With such skills, why does he need to take such risks? Just go and rob." Wang Fan seemed to be retorting and talking to himself, "Unless
What extraordinary thing is there in this old tomb that has attracted so many masters?"
"Yes, there must be something special." Lan Qing was confused by Wang Fan's thoughts, and she continued to think in Wang Fan's direction.
"Master," Wang Fan suddenly turned around, "please go up and knock on the stone slab on top. If I guessed correctly, it should be empty too."
This time, without saying a word, Lan Qing walked to the wall and lightly jumped up. When she reached the top, she tapped the top with her knuckles. Sure enough, there was a hollow sound of "click".
"It's really empty up there, how did you know?" Lan Qing asked curiously.
"We haven't been in this secret room for a while. Have you felt difficulty breathing for such a long time?" Before Lan Qing could answer, Wang Fan continued, "This secret room seems tight, but in fact there should be some changes."
There is a gap in the air. These two people probably did not suffocate to death, but were starved to death and tortured to death by their own inner demons, because this is more frightening and has a more deterrent effect."
"Then up here..."
"There should be another passage above, maybe you can enter the old tomb together, but you are stuck here and can't open it. You see hope but it is far away. It is easy to go crazy when you are anxious.
