Chapter 399
Chapter 201 The one that belongs to the little brother...
The reason why the fat man and the others were excited was that they found the exit.
After the little brother pushed hard into the hole, he heard a click. Then, a small stone door suddenly opened next to the little brother.
Looking at the slowly opening small stone door, the fat man couldn't help but say: "Little brother, did you build this underground palace?"
Even the mop, looking at the half-person-high passage inside the small stone door, stammered: "This cave is not left for people at all, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense, we have to climb out, as long as we can get out..." As long as there is an exit, it doesn't matter whether it is crawling or walking.
"I don't know what's going on ahead, everyone be careful." Chen Wenjin reminded everyone.
The little brother was originally in the front, and he got in first without saying a word, crouching and slowly walking forward.
Several people crouched through a long passage and finally came to a very empty cave.
Moreover, spring water came out of nowhere in the cave, flowing down to form a stream with a small pool at the bottom.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, the fat man stretched his waist: "Finally, I can relax. I think this place is pretty good, with mountains and water."
A group of people walked down along the stream, and when they reached the small pool, Mop stepped into it.
The water in the small pool was only below the knees. Mop saw something swimming in the pool and reached out to grab it.
As a result, he caught something that looked like a shrimp, but it was transparent. He was so scared that he immediately threw the thing back into the water: "What is this thing in the water?"
"Don't make a fuss." The fat man patted Mop's shoulder, then bent down and grabbed what Mop had just caught.
"I'm telling you, this is a life-saving good thing in desperate situations. High protein, chicken flavor, crunchy..."
"Don't mess around, let it go quickly, what if this shrimp is a rare species, it would be a waste if you kill a few of them. Besides, in desperate situations, this is your life-saving dry food!" Wu Xie teased.
"Look at how densely packed there are, there must be at least 800 if not a thousand? It's no problem to catch a few." Fatty didn't care.
While the two were joking, the little brother was observing the situation around him. Then he walked quickly to a stone sculpture, and the others followed him.
" Tnd, why is this ancestor again? It's no good to see this thing." Seeing another human-faced bird statue here, Fatty couldn't help but complain.
"Seeing the human-faced bird statue, it's probably not far from the center of the underground palace, everyone be careful."
Chen Wenjin looked at the statue and explained. As she said that, she took the lead and walked towards the passage in front.
The few people walked a long way in the dark and winding passage. They saw the mark that belonged to the younger brother again.
The younger brother was still stroking the mark with an expressionless face as before.
"We have come here, younger brother, do you remember anything?"
When Wu Xie asked, Fatty stretched his neck and waited for the younger brother's answer.
Fatty hoped that the younger brother could remember some things about his previous visit here, so that he could lead them all the way to Huanglong without any obstacles.
But Fatty's expectations were ultimately dashed, and the younger brother shook his head lightly.
Fatty said with some disappointment: "I say, younger brother, you can't remember anything, why do you leave such an obscure mark? Next time! Next time, you must leave one that we can all understand."
"It doesn't matter, the mark means that we are not on the wrong road, and the human-faced bird statue just now should be a warning to outsiders. I don't know what's ahead, I'll go explore the way first."
Chen Wenjin said, and went to the passage ahead.
The younger brother also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wu Xie.
At this time, Fatty also spoke up.
"Let's go together! It took so much effort to get here. How many good things do you think the Queen Mother of the West must have hidden under here? Besides, we brothers have to open our eyes."
"Then let's go together. We have paid too much along the way. Some of our people were injured or died..."
"Stop talking, let's go!" Wu Xie patted Fatty's shoulder and followed Chen Wenjin's footsteps.
They didn't walk far before they walked out of the passage. What they saw was another empty cave, but it was a different cave.
The middle of the cave looked like a man-made swimming pool, but the water was not deep. There was a stone platform with seven or eight steps in the middle of the swimming pool.
There was a large rectangular box on the stone platform, but it was covered with some red vine-like things, which felt like a coffin.
There were some lamp stands on both sides of the road from their position to the stone steps, and there were some similar lamp stands around the swimming pool.
Chen Wenjin looked at the space that resembled a reservoir and guessed, "This lake should be the water storage core of the entire palace."
After hearing this, Mop immediately called his brothers, "You guys go and light up all the lights."
After lighting up all the surrounding table lamps, the entire cave environment was visible at a glance.
After the lights were turned on, Chen Wenjin was the first to walk down the lake. Mop was the second to go down, and he couldn't wait to squeeze out the fat man and others who were blocking him.
After entering the water, they found that the water level was about at their knees.
And Chen Wenjin didn't know whether she knew the situation or was excited when she saw the stone door opposite. She didn't stay for long after stepping into the pool.
Instead, she went straight through the pool and climbed up to the stone door on the stairs.
Then, Chen Wenjin was a little excited to find the mechanism to open the stone door on both sides of the stone door.
When Fatty wanted to go down to the pool, he was stopped by Wu Xie: "Don't stay after entering the water, and quickly cross the pool."
"Why? Is there something in the water?" Fatty asked in confusion.
"Yes, do you see those red strip-like things? They are long worms that can suck blood. As long as you stay in the water for a long enough time and alarm them, they will wrap around your feet and suck your blood."
"No wonder, I said why it seems that the thing is getting brighter and brighter! It turns out that someone is giving them blood transfusions!"
When Fatty said this, he looked at Mop and the others who were walking back and forth in the pool. Just when they were about to speak out to remind them,
One of Mop's men seemed to be dragged to the side of the stone steps by something, and he was vomiting blood.
Mop was so scared that he almost couldn't stand. Seeing this, Wu Xie shouted: "Quick, cut off the insects wrapped around your feet."
Mop and his men heard the sound, pulled out their daggers and slashed at the water in front of their heels.
"There are too many insects, we can't cut them all, get ashore first..."
Seeing that Mop and his men were only concerned with fighting the insects, but didn't think about getting ashore first, Wu Xie couldn't help but remind them again.
But just at this time...
