The muffled sound that shook the mountain came several times in succession.
The faces of the Niu brothers and sisters completely changed, and Xu Yan was also speechless.
But under the current situation, everyone didn't care to say much, they all looked at each other, and then hurried on.
Listening to the direction from which the sound came, the team that was supposed to be lagging behind didn't go their way, but were forcibly blowing up the mountain to clear the way!
This is simply not about martial ethics... The key is that since the other party dares to do this, they have probably already located the specific position, and they want to take the lead directly!
After Xu Yan and others put in so much effort, they definitely didn't want to fall behind like that, so they had to rush forward.
Niu Jingang was depressed to death. After all, he didn't know that he had the ability of a crow's mouth and that it was so accurate.
This made him feel that the sudden change from leading to falling behind suddenly became his responsibility.
Montou led a few people to rush forward frantically. Fortunately, it was a road they had walked once. Occasionally they encountered some small problems along the way, but they were circumvented by them.
Finally arriving at the other end of the big stone cave, a few people began to squeeze into a mountain crevice. After advancing hard, they saw another gap. After ducking in, Xu Yan saw traces of manual carvings, and even some statues and line murals.
such as.
The Niu brothers were so anxious that Xu Yan didn't bother to take a closer look and continued to follow.
Soon, he entered the corridor along this narrow gap, and then, Xu Yan broke into a large ear room in the mixed gray atmosphere.
The gap they crossed was a passage formed after the interior of the mountain cracked, leading directly to the tunnel and connecting the ear chamber.
This is quite tricky, otherwise it would definitely be more difficult to advance normally.
After entering the ear room, the Niu family brothers and sisters were very solemn. A few of them stopped for a while, while the third child jumped out of the corridor into the darkness like a monkey and entered the tomb to inquire about the situation.
Not long after, the old man came back and said with bared teeth: "The hell is coming in. These bastards are masters. They didn't know where to locate the tomb door, and they just blew it open and broke in."
Everyone looked stern, Niu Jingang said solemnly: "Have you not been discovered?"
"No, it's so dark. They haven't entered the main tomb yet. Brother, we have to hurry up!" The third child shook his head firmly.
"Hurry up!" Niu Jinggang said, "Since they want to search the tomb first, let's go there quickly."
"As long as they have a clear weapon, that's fine. If they want to have other ideas, they should follow them soon, so hurry up!"
As they spoke, the five people quickly passed through the ear room, followed the path they explored last time, and found a ventilation hole diagonally downward from the end of the corridor at the other end of the ear room.
After crawling through the hole, Xu Yan discovered that there was a loud sound of water coming from the darkness.
When I landed and scanned with a flashlight, I saw that this was a larger underground space, with a wide, dark underground river in the middle!
The water surface was very fast and the current was very turbulent. Just opposite them, there was a high depression on the stone wall, but there were no roads on both sides.
What's even weirder is that the side of the shore where Xu Yan and the others are standing is completely bare and rocky.
On the opposite side, due to the bend of the underground river, the impact of sediment accumulated a piece of land, just below the depression.
Looking from a distance, there are actually thorn bush-like flora growing on that piece of land. There is no wind around, but the plants are shaking from time to time, and there are obviously living things inside.
"Doctor Xu, look!" Niu Jingang said, shining the bright flashlight directly at the highest point of the depression on the opposite side.
Only then did Xu Yan see a protruding stone platform the size of a washbasin high up. On the stone platform grew a pale white plant.
Niu Jingang immediately turned off the flashlight, and Xu Yan saw the strange-looking plant, which was indeed emitting faint fluorescence in the dim light.
"Is this Panxincao?" Xu Yan was a little excited. After all, this was the first time he saw a living treasure of heaven and earth after Wu Guo.
In addition, after all the hard work until now, I finally saw the results of the adventure, so I am naturally happy.
Niu Jingang turned on the flashlight again, nodded and said, "Yes, that's the one!"
"Those holes around it are the nests of poisonous insects."
"Not only that, the thorny plants on the shore seem to have some toxins, and there is also a kind of white-haired rat living in them, which makes a living by fishing."
Xu Yan heard this inexplicably, and Honglian's flashlight suddenly changed direction and pointed upstream.
By chance, a big black fish jumped out of the water with its teeth bared. At this moment, several piglet-like white-haired mice suddenly jumped out of the thorn bushes, leaped into the air, and bit the big fish at the same time.
No matter how hard the big fish struggled, a few white-haired mice kept biting it, and they worked together to start swimming back and soon landed.
Immediately, the thorn bushes shook continuously, and white-haired mice of different sizes came out and began to eat.
In the blink of an eye, a large fish was eaten clean, leaving only a clean skeleton. The sharp teeth on the head of the big fish were particularly conspicuous!
Xu Yan gritted his teeth at the sight, "Good guy, I'm afraid this big fish is not a good one. Will the white-haired mouse cooperate? How did you get there last time?"
"Crossing the river is indeed troublesome!" Niu Jinjiang said solemnly: "The current is too fast, and the fish in the river are not easy to mess with. If you get close, you will be attacked."
"Last time we fell into the water and we were all in trouble. We managed to run up and finally used a hook to climb over."
While he was talking, Ergou Honglian and the others were already busy.
Ergou took out the climbing hook rope from the bag, and Honglian took out a large bundle of ropes. After connecting them, they pulled them to see if they were strong.
Xu Yan frowned when he saw this, "Is this possible? The river is a bit too wide!"
He couldn't help but be a little worried. After all, the river was too wide. With a hook and a strong enough rope, he could only run over and hook the opposite rope, which required an exaggerated amount of strength.
It's not that Xu Yan looked down upon a few people, it was just that he found it difficult to accomplish this task if he were to do it.
However, near the upstream position, there is a relatively narrow river channel, which Xu Yan thinks is pretty much the same.
But there is no way to go to the depression on the other side, there are only scattered rocks, and it is quite difficult to get there.
"There is still extra rope, Doctor Xu, do you want to try it?" Along the way, the Niu Jingang brother and sister, who are professional treasure hunters, were actually quite depressed.
Mainly because of Xu Yan, they couldn't highlight their advantages at all.
In this way, it seems that Xu Yan is the professional and they become amateurs.
Now a few people are secretly trying to compare, they are really competitive.
"Our method is actually a bit risky, but we should try it a few times and it should work."
Niu Jingang said with a smile: "Doctor Xu, why don't you try your method first?"
"No! Since you have succeeded, just do what you want!" Xu Yan thought for a while and said curiously: "I'll get a pair of ropes and try it aside!"
The few people brought a lot of ropes. Xu Yan picked one as thick as a little finger and walked directly upstream.
He was just curious. In this kind of terrain, if he threw it hard, would the hook rope be able to reach the other side?
The Niu brothers smiled when they saw this, thinking that he refused to admit defeat.
Just like choosing a path before, when they choose one, Xu Yan also has to have his own ideas.
Although it turned out that the path Xu Yan chose was good in the end, you, Dr. Xu, cannot always choose the right path, right?
After all, they had successfully used this method of crossing the river before!
With this idea in mind, several people quickly prepared, but soon heard the sound of breaking through the sky in the darkness upstream.
After shining a flashlight over it, I saw that Xu Yan tied the thin rope to the rock on the upstream side, and then suddenly exerted force, and the hook in his hand suddenly hit the opposite side like a meteor!
But even so, the hook and rope, with his strength, only flew to the opposite shore, just a few meters away from the rock wall.
"Haha, Doctor Xu, you can't just throw it away, you have to cooperate!" Niu Jinjiang laughed, and then said: "Let us perform for Doctor Xu!"
Xu Yan quickly retracted the rope and turned his head curiously.
He was actually quite puzzled. Even with all his strength, he couldn't hit the other side. These brothers and sisters could only hit more than half of the river surface with their individual strength. How could they hang on the sunken rock wall?
After all, there are those white-haired mice and thorn bushes under the rock wall, making it impossible for them to stay!
At this time, you have to see the true abilities of the Niu brothers.
