there's a stick

Chapter 46
Yi Shuiyang shook his head. He didn't know. He helped Liu Boxin to sit up temporarily against the mountain wall, and then borrowed Matthew's hiking pole to temporarily use it as a crutch.

Looking over there, the two people who didn't help at all and didn't care just now have already pulled the corpse of the unknown organism over with the rope hook they were carrying.

Although he had already felt their indifference before, he never thought that it would be so cold, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Yi Shuiyang walked over and asked, "What is this?"

Li Tianyi turned over the corpse and said: "Their kind will not corrode each other, the corpse is considered complete, there is a sucker here, looking at this thing, it seems to be a large leech, but I don't know why it grows so big."

"A leech?" Yi Shuiyang was startled. He had seen a leech before, but it was the first time he had seen such a big leech, and it caused such a horrible wound.

"For example... if there are leeches here, how do we go back?" Matthew hesitated, looking at the waterway with fear in his eyes. Obviously, if the boat was in front of him, he would definitely get on the boat and leave without saying a word.

"There is nothing to worry about. When the time comes, there will be a pile of explosives. If there is anything alive, go inside first!" Li Tianyi kicked the leech corpse into the waterway, splashing huge water, disturbing countless peace.

Seeing Li Tianyi go straight away, regardless of Liu Boxin, Yi Shuiyang looked a little cold, and shouted: "Even if you feel that you are lagging behind, you don't have to be so ruthless. Let me explain in advance that he knows more about ancient tombs than any of us." many."

Li Tianyi paused for a while when he walked forward, then turned his head and looked over, Liu Boxin had already stood up with his own strength, as if he didn't want to be left behind.

Glancing at Liu Boxin, then at Yi Shuiyang's direction, Li Tian smiled and said, "Didn't I forget?"

As he spoke, he asked Wu Kairui to carry Liu Boxin on his back, and Yi Shuiyang felt relieved, but he also kept an eye on Liu Boxin's situation to prevent Wu Kairui from playing tricks.

Simply because Li Tianyi didn't seem to have any instructions for the next step, Wu Kairui carried Liu Boxin on his back very steadily, allowing Liu Boxin's spirit to gradually recover.

The mountain road I am currently walking seems to be built in a ring, and it goes higher and higher around the circle, as if there is no end.

There was no sense of height while climbing inside, and they had no idea where their destination was. After traveling for an hour, several people sat down to rest.

Yi Shuiyang and the others simply ate something, Li Tianyi and Matthew were smoking, and the smoke was lingering, making the crisis just temporarily retreat, and Wu Kairui leaned against the wall and played with a lighter.

While playing, the flame suddenly rushed up, burning directly to the eyebrows, which shocked Wu Kairui, and the rest of the people laughed.

However, after laughing, in the place where Wu Kairui stayed just now, he found something different. After the fire, something seemed to appear on the wall.

"This seems to be a famous mural in ancient Chinese history, but it needs to be baked to show up here, you see?" Matthew said, using his own lighter to bake the mural, and some pictures appeared, as if a horse head.

"Don't waste it, you'll know who it is anyway, don't waste your time here..." Liu Boxin said weakly, stood up while leaning on the wall, and walked forward with strength.

Yi Shuiyang followed, and Matthew stepped forward behind him, carried Liu Boxin on his back, and continued on his way.

After walking for about 10 minutes, I finally came to a relatively gentle mountain road. Five meters ahead, there was a suspected tomb door.

Near the door of the tomb, there is a pull ring beside the door. It is so old that the material can no longer be seen clearly, but it is certain that it has not decayed.

Wu Kairui was about to pull the ring to open the door of the tomb, but Liu Boxin stopped him and said, "Wait, put a rope around the ring, and everyone stand at the turning point just now. There may be a trap here."

Looking in Li Tianyi's direction suspiciously, it is obvious that Li Tianyi's opinion is more important.

Nodding his head, Li Tianyi did not object. Although many tomb doors do not have mechanisms, most of them still have doors. It is always right to be careful.

After tying the rope, everyone backed away and put Liu Boxin down. The remaining four pulled the door of the tomb together, and heard a piercing scream, which came from nowhere.

It was just a moment of lightning and flint. If they stood in the middle of the mountain road, they would definitely not be able to escape in time. From the mountain walls on both sides, they shot crossbow arrows as thick as arms. Whoever stood there had no choice but to become a hedgehog.

After the first round, a crossbow arrow was inserted in the middle of the rope, shaking up and down. Looking at the crossbow arrow, everyone's hands holding the rope trembled a little.

The wave gradually stopped, and Yi Shuiyang cast a grateful look at Liu Boxin. Liu Boxin continued: "There may be a second wave. Let's try to open the tomb door!"

Everyone took a deep breath, tightened their grip on the rope, and pulled it hard, suddenly dozens of crossbow arrows shot out from the tomb door, and their straight ends penetrated at least three inches into the facing mountain wall.

The material is the same as the previous crossbow arrows. The tip of the arrow is made of bronze, shining with a cold light. The material of the arrow body is the shade-dried fir wood, which has not rotted for a thousand years, and it is still abnormally hard today.

Matthew stood at the end, and a crossbow arrow just pierced through his backpack, almost piercing his entire body. This kind of shock is really unacceptable, but now the back road is cut off, and there is no choice.

Everyone pulled out the crossbow arrows that went through Matthew's backpack, and Liu Boxin over there had already stood up and said: "It's almost there, the mechanism is estimated to be these two, pull it again, and the door should open."

Swallowing saliva unconsciously, everyone's faces were a little nervous, and they avoided their bodies. Only then did they pull the rope for the third time. Just like what Liu Boxin said, no arrows were shot out, but instead, they turned around in a flash. sound.

Looking forward, the tomb door in the middle of the entrance just now has moved to the left, revealing a square opening about three meters high and two and a half meters wide.

Holding a crossbow arrow in his hand, Wu Kairui took the lead. The crossbow arrow first explored the path, and then moved forward. From time to time, he knocked the wall with the crossbow arrow to prevent any traps.

With a sound of "Wow!", just as the crossbow in Wu Kairui's hand hit the wall on the right side of the mountain path in front of him, a crossbow rushed out directly, making people jump. Fortunately, Wu Kairui left in a hurry.

"Don't worry, it's because the crossbow arrows have been locked for a long time, so if there are any shot out, it should be no problem for him to go like this!" Facing the slightly questioning eyes of the crowd, Liu Boxin explained.

Seeing that Liu Boxin didn't seem to be hiding something, Li Tianyi turned his head and looked forward, his eyes were cold, making Yi Shuiyang behind him feel cold all over his body.
