I heard that I'm a tomb robber

Chapter 16 The Cliffs
"Is this the only way?" Zhang Yu grimaced.

Although Mei Qian was worried about Mao Mao's safety, she just wanted to explore here quickly and go out, but when she couldn't find any other way, facing the dark hole under her feet, she couldn't help hesitating.

Imagine, no matter whether it is an animal or a human being, they are killed and bled in this secret room, and then the blood flows through the blood tank and finally converges into the circular pipe.

I saw groups of corpses here, but there was no corpse, so what about those corpses?
In fact, he also suspected that there might be other passages here, but he didn't find anything along the way. Maybe it's because the agency only cracked the first-level relationship?
The only good news is that since something is to be sacrificed alive, there may be an exit below, otherwise why sacrifice?
It's just that it has to be a sacrifice once, it's not good to think about it.

After thinking for a while, Mei Qian used a dagger to cut a piece of vest used to wrap the feet, tapped it and threw it in.

After careful observation, it was confirmed that the air inside was normal, so he put the flashlight in his mouth, grabbed the dagger tightly and jumped in first.

The pipe was slanted downwards, but it was similar to the feeling when they fell down. Mei Qian didn't know what was below, Mei Qian spread her limbs, supported her body, and rubbed down bit by bit.

It was not as long as expected, less than half a minute, and it felt like there was nothing under my feet.

He used force with his right hand, and the dagger in his hand quickly inserted into the inner wall, and finally, his body was half suspended in the air at the exit.

I lowered my head to take a photo, and there was a deep and dark place below, which turned out to be a crack in the ground. The beam of the flashlight can see the hanging bottom from a distance. It is not very high, but it is deadly enough.

If it comes down at normal gliding speed, it is very likely that there will be no bones left due to inertia.

Fortunately, there is a small platform directly below, enough to stand on, and not too high from the entrance of the cave.

He rushed to the top and shouted: "Be careful and slow down." Then he jumped down.Putting the dagger aside, he took a posture and waited for Zhang Yu to appear.

Although he made a reminder, he was also afraid of accidents.

I don't know whether his premonition was too accurate or because of the crow's mouth. After Zhang Yu jumped into the pipeline, he imitated Mei Qian's posture, and his speed was not fast, but he was still stable.

But halfway through, the whole space unexpectedly shook again.

Zhang Yu's body was almost thrown out.

Fortunately, Mei Qian was well prepared. Seeing a black shadow appearing in the flashlight, he jumped up quickly, stretched out his hand to grab it, and pulled it around.

Zhang Yu was still in shock. When his body was thrown into the air, he thought he was going to die this time. Unexpectedly, before he finished sighing, his feet had already landed on the ground.

"Thank you! Are you injured?" Then with the light of the flashlight, he clearly saw a large bloodstain on Mei Qian's forehead.

"It's okay, just wipe it off." Just then a large piece of rubble fell from above, but at that time Mei Qian was so focused on saving Zhang Yu that there was no time to avoid it.

Fortunately, the stone was not big, and his physical instinct was still there, it was just a scratch.

He casually wiped it with his hand, raised the flashlight and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

This is a natural underground space, the height does not reach the top, and when the flashlight shines on it, it is full of cliffs, and the platform under their feet extends on both sides with cliffs that can only accommodate one person, which is obviously made by man-made.

When the light swept to the bottom of the cliff again, one could see the situation below, not to mention Mei Qian, even Zhang Yu, a criminal policeman, turned pale and gasped.

What is a mountain of corpses?

The light illuminated them was full of white corpses. The cliff under their feet was filled with bones. There were animal bones, but most of them should be human remains.

Despite the past millennia, the stench of corruption still lingers in the air.

"Come on, suppress the shock." Zhang Yu smoked habitually, he was not afraid of heights, but at this moment he just felt dizzy.

"It's a good thing you can get in." Mei Qian said to refuse, but took it honestly.

"It's just right for the taste." Zhang Yu grinned: "You saved my life again."

"Just go back and treat me to two meals. I want to have a big meal, not braised noodles." Mei Qian didn't care, it was just a matter of convenience.

"That's for sure, am I such a stingy person?" Zhang Yu nodded, smoking a cigarette, took out his mobile phone to check the signal, but unfortunately he still couldn't get in touch with the outside world when he arrived here.He sighed and asked again: "There are two roads here, which way shall we go?"

"It's windy here, and the air is humid. There should be a river below. If you follow the wind, you can go out through the underground river no matter how bad it is." Mei Qian felt it, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

After the two of them stubbed out their cigarette butts, Mei Qian also retrieved the dagger, and the two stepped onto the hanging road one after the other.

The road carved out of the cliff was uneven. Some places were wide enough for two people to walk side by side, while others were narrow enough to pass sideways.

It can be said to be sturdy, but after all, it is so old, and when the two of them passed by, gravel and soil debris often fell down.

It adds a bit of horror to the already exciting part.

Fortunately, the two of them are well-trained, so pay attention, it's not too difficult.

There were more bugs in the corpse area, and when the two arrived, another group of corpses fled as if they had seen the darkness of light.

Zhang Yu finally couldn't help asking: "These corpses seem to be very afraid of us, did you bring any insect repellent?"

"I picked it up in the funeral room before. Think about it. These bugs have existed for so many years, but they haven't eaten those bamboo slips. There must be insect-proof means inside. I picked up a pendant and put it on while you were not paying attention. I didn't expect It's really useful." Mei Qian opened his mouth and came, and turned back to pull off the T-shirt, revealing the silver chain hanging around his neck.

"It's a cultural relic, and you need to hand it in when you go out." Zhang Yu reminded.

"How else can I keep it privately?" Mei Qian glared at him.

Zhang Yu thought so too, depending on the situation of the other party, he would definitely be searched after going out, and there was really no need to worry about it at this time.

This road is really long. The two walked for about half an hour, but they still haven't reached the end, and the goal is still the cliff.

"It's too big here, how did the ancients build it?" Zhang Yu was at a loss for words.

"Look at the bones below, they may not all be sacrifices." Mei Qian was silent for a moment, then suddenly said this.

Zhang Yu also sighed: "It's better to be a civilized society." Then he changed his tone: "Although there are no weird ancient tombs in your novels here, it is quite thrilling for us to walk down. Without you, I don't know how many times I would have died. gone."

"Reality is not a novel, but it is often more deadly than fiction. Because ordinary people don't have the fate of the protagonist. I am just lucky. I have some kung fu and quick reactions." Mei Qian began to answer with a smile, but while talking, suddenly I thought of Mao Mao again, I was not around, if an ordinary girl really fell into this place, how would she survive?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and his mood inevitably became depressed again. Seeing this, Zhang Yu secretly gave himself a mouthful.Originally, as a criminal policeman, when talking with suspects or criminals, you need to observe the other party's demeanor and words, always pay attention to skills, and pay attention to propriety.

I don't know why today, after experiencing an underground adventure, I should relax. It really shouldn't be.

After that, neither of the two spoke again, and another 10 minutes passed, and the terrain in front finally changed, and began to extend upwards, and gradually widened.

However, Mei Qian stopped, stretched out her hand to make a still gesture, and the flashlight frantically shone around.

Zhang Yu also held his breath and observed quietly.

Sure enough, an abnormal sound could be vaguely heard from the wind, it seemed to be the cry of some kind of animal, and it became clearer and clearer, not only in front, but also behind.

"No, run quickly." Mei Qian rushed forward suddenly, Zhang Yu reacted quickly and followed in time.

The two ran quickly and reached a place that looked like a large platform.

Although this is also a mountain wall, it has a steeper slope than the previous flat cliff, and there are many dark holes on it.

The two of them didn't move forward anymore, because there were already low-pitched roars in all directions.
