My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married
Chapter 772 A critical moment
It can only be said that Professor Jin’s understanding of the ancient tomb is far inferior to Hao Xie’s.
Moreover, Hao Xie now has the "Strange Stories of Corpse Carrying" given to him by Zhang Hao, and he knows more about ancient tombs than anyone else.
If Hao Xie says that he is second to none in the number of people who dare to claim to know all the ancient tombs of Dragon Kingdom, then no one dares to claim to be first.
However, Huo Xiu'er didn't know that Hao Xie knew so much about the ancient tomb. At first, when she heard that Hao Xie had never been to the Kuiliang Tomb, she didn't listen carefully to what Hao Xie said later.
Thinking about it now, it's too late to regret. They have now been targeted by the death worms, and what's even more terrifying is that there are more than two death worms below them.
At this time, there were more and more raised sandbags, and more than a dozen death worms were about to appear.
If there is no other way, they will be eaten by these death worms.
After hearing the proposal to climb up, the members of the archaeological team began to climb up the canyon along the safety ropes.
There are two problems with just climbing up.
First, the archaeological team has limited physical strength. If they want to climb up, it will take a long time, and they may not have enough physical strength to keep up.
two is……
The Death Worm didn't want to let them go.
Suddenly, three death worms jumped out of the sandbags. After sensing the voices and vibrations of the archaeologists, they began to crash frantically into the canyon wall.
Such a huge creature crashed into the wall, causing a lot of rubble to fall from the canyon wall.
Although the death worm is large and powerful, it is not big enough to smash a mountain.
The rubble that fell down was the rocks on the cliff that were originally unstable.
These gravels are big and small, the small ones are only the size of a palm, and the big ones are half the size of a person.
At this time, rubble fell from the sky. Those who were lucky enough could just avoid it, while those who were unlucky were directly hit by the rubble.
The person who was hit felt dizzy and his hands that were holding on to the safety rope suddenly loosened. He then fell freely along the safety rope and fell towards the ground at high speed.
For a while, the screams of the archaeologists continued to be heard in the canyon.
"what!"
"Oh no, I'm going to be hit!"
"Save me!"
"Ah... Old Man Jin, you are cheating me!"
"..."
It seems unwise to climb up, but if you go down, there are death worms watching closely.
At this time, one of the archaeologists was hit by a stone and his hand loosened the safety rope.
He screamed in panic.
"what!"
Immediately afterwards, the death worm emerged from the sand before the man even hit the ground. It leaped up with all its strength, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the archaeologist who had fallen.
All the archaeological team members stared at the scene in front of them in shock, all of them were stunned.
They saw that after the death worm bit the archaeologist, its dense fangs suddenly closed and began to wriggle, and in less than three seconds it opened its bloody mouth again, and a roar made everyone completely chilled to the bone.
"Roar!"
Those with better eyesight could see the remains of the archaeologist in the gaps between the death worm's fangs; the blood couldn't even dye their teeth red.
Some people even began to imagine that for such a creature, eating a person would be like eating a peanut, and it would never be enough to satisfy them.
"What should we do now?"
"You can't wait to die!"
"There seems to be a cave five meters below. How about we hide in that cave?"
"No, the cave is too low. The monster below can climb up."
"What should I do? I can't get up now. I'll just hang here and be slaughtered!"
"Yeah, every time these monsters hit us, a lot of rubble falls down. We can't handle it at all. If we keep going like this, we'll be hit by the rocks sooner or later!"
At this moment, Huo Xiu'er looked at the cave below and was stunned. The shadow of Hao Xie suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Yup!"
"Brother Haoxie once told me about the characteristics of these monsters!"
"They rely on sound and vibration to find food. Isn't it fine if they just keep silent?"
At this time, Huo Xiu'er no longer had any doubts about what Hao Xie said.
After all, everything Hao Xie said has come true, so what is there to doubt?
So she quickly reminded loudly.
"Go to the cave below. I have a way to avoid the pursuit of these monsters!" Professor Jin looked at Huo Xiuer with suspicion. Even though he was hanging on the safety rope and there was the threat of death worms below, he couldn't help but ask.
"How can you avoid them?" he questioned.
"The cave is less than five meters from the ground, but these monsters are nearly ten meters long. Wouldn't it be courting death if they go in?" The other archaeological team members also looked at Huo Xiu'er, their previous joking mentality swept away, and they turned to her for help.
"Miss Huo, do you really have a solution? We can neither go up nor down now. If you have a solution, we will go down with you!"
"Yes, Miss Huo, I really regret not listening to your warning! If I had known there was such a thing here, I would not have come here!"
"It's too late to say anything now. Let's listen to Miss Huo's solution!"
"Yeah, I feel like I can't hold on any longer!"
Huo Xiuer glanced at the death worm below and frowned.
"These death worms feed on sound and vibrations," she explained.
"Let's slide down slowly. As long as we don't move too much, we shouldn't be discovered."
"We'll figure it out once we get to the cave."
"This monster is huge and the cave is small. I think it will be difficult for it to attack us!"
Professor Jin looked puzzled. "But when we got to the cave, weren't we blocked at the entrance by these death worms?"
"It's impossible to figure it out again!"
Huo Xiuer looked at Professor Jin unhappily, rolled her eyes at him, and said.
"This is the only way I can do. Believe it or not."
The archaeologists looked at each other, and then someone spoke up.
"Hanging here is just waiting for death. Being blocked by death worms in the cave is also waiting for death. It's better to hide in the cave and save some energy. I can't hold on for long like this!"
"Yes, Miss Huo and I will hide in the cave and save our lives first. The rest will be left to fate!"
"No, it's handed over to Miss Huo!" "I'll go with Miss Huo too!"
"I am coming too!"
"Miss Huo, we're leaving our lives in your hands this time. You can't cheat us like Professor Jin did!"
"Miss Huo said before that there are monsters here. Now it has come true. She won't cheat us!"
The archaeologists didn't think much about it. They couldn't go up anyway. Going down would mean death, and hanging here would also mean waiting to die. It would be better to hide in the cave and save energy!
Huo Xiuer nodded and reminded again.
"Everyone, don't move or make any noise. Use gestures to communicate."
"These monsters can't see us, so we have to trick them first and then slowly slide down!"
"Remember, don't make any noise or too much vibration, otherwise when you slide down, more than one person may die!"
Hearing Huo Xiuer's reminder, everyone shut up, made an OK gesture to her, and then hung quietly on the safety rope.
Even those who were physically exhausted gritted their teeth and persevered.
As expected, within two minutes after the archaeological team stood still, the rubble from the landslide fell into the sand.
The death worm did not crash into the mountain again.
After another three minutes, the death worm began to wriggle in the sand, as if looking for food.
Finally, after another fifteen minutes, the death worms gradually burrowed back into the sand.
Slowly, the canyon returned to its original appearance, just as they had seen it at the beginning, full of expectation and hope.
Seeing that all the death worms had burrowed back into the sand, Huo Xiuer made an OK gesture to everyone.
Seeing this, the archaeologists nodded and began to slowly slide down along the safety rope.
Everyone moved carefully, sliding down only three to five centimeters at a time, with their muscles tense. They persisted in this way for about half an hour, and even felt that their arms were no longer their own.
At this time, the archaeological team was still five meters away from the cave.
They also officially entered the attack range of the death worm.
Huo Xiuer looked back at the archaeologists and made a gesture, indicating that everyone should be more careful.
After seeing Huo Xiuer's gesture, everyone nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Huo Xiuer continued to slide down.
Slowly, one team member crawled into the cave.
Then two, three...
In the end, almost everyone had entered the cave, leaving only Professor Jin hanging on the safety rope.
At this time, because of Huo Xiuer's reminder, the archaeological team members were worried but did not dare to ask.
Professor Jin looked at everyone with a bitter face, and then said in a very soft voice: "No! My arm is stiff and I can't move it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several sandbags appeared on the sand again.
At this moment, everyone widened their eyes, looking at the sandbags raised in the sand, and then looked at Professor Jin in horror.
Professor Jin...are you trying to lure the death worm over here?
They saw the sandbag in the sand bulge up again and keep wriggling back and forth in the sand, as if hiding its position and then giving its prey a fatal blow.
It's just that its size is so large that it's hard not to see it.
All the archaeologists were startled and stared at Professor Jin.
Professor Jin immediately shut up and looked down with horror, his face turning pale with fright.
Fortunately, Professor Jin did not make any more noises, but continued to hang on the safety rope. In less than two minutes, the sandbag sank again.
It looks like the death worm is gone.
After a while, Professor Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth and moved his arm. Suddenly, an extremely swollen and painful feeling swept through his body, and he even wanted to scream out in pain.
But Professor Jin still held back, just opening his mouth and closing his eyes to breathe heavily, enduring the severe pain from the stiff arm. After a while, when he felt the blood in his arm return a little, he continued to slide down.
The pain in Professor Jin's arm, which had just bled, was even more unbearable.
So when they were almost at the cave, Professor Jin simply swung the rope and threw himself into the cave, followed by a dull sound.
"boom!"
Although the sound of Professor Jin landing was not very crisp, he was after all a man weighing more than 100 pounds and was carrying archaeological tools on his back.
So when landing, a series of sounds came from the tools in the backpack.
The archaeologists didn't care about much else at this time and hurriedly pulled Professor Jin into the cave.
They had only walked three or four steps when the death worms in the sand suddenly jumped out again, with their huge fangs blocking the entrance of the cave. The fishy smell made them feel nauseous.
The archaeologists covered their noses, and Huo Xiuer quickly gestured to everyone to be quiet.
So the archaeologists immediately remained still and looked quietly at the death worms blocking the entrance of the cave.
This was the first time they had observed a death worm so closely. The one in front of them was the one that had eaten their team members, and they saw human remains in the monster's mouth, and the remains were still covered with the clothes of their archaeological team.
Not long after the few of them calmed down, the death worm turned around and left after it could no longer sense them.
Seeing the death worm leave, the archaeologists finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at Professor Jin angrily, and they were all a little angry in their hearts. This Professor Jin was really a liar. They were almost dragged down by this guy and had to be buried with him.
Seeing that the cave was quite deep, Huo Xiuer pointed inside and began to walk inside on tiptoe.
Although the cave is not very big, it seems like the road is very long.
None of them were in the mood to explore at the moment. They just chose a location quite a distance from the cave entrance and then sat down to rest.
Professor Jin rubbed his arm and couldn't help sighing: "Oh...what should I do next? Am I going to wait here to die?"
Several members of the archaeological team couldn't help but look at Professor Jin deeply, and no one spoke.
Huo Xiuer glanced at the cave entrance and realized that talking here would not attract the attention of the death worms, so she said, "Everyone, let's get some rest first. You must be exhausted from the process just now. After you have rested, we can figure out how to get out."
Several people nodded and looked at Huo Xiuer together.
After what happened just now, Huo Xiuer has become the leader of this team.
After all, if it weren't for her, they would have all been eaten by the death worms.
"It's all thanks to Miss Huo this time. If you weren't here, I would have been torn to pieces by that monster."
"Yeah, it's really strange. Why is there sand here? Could it be that someone deliberately brought sand here to raise these insects?"
"It's unlikely. This place is terribly hot. It feels like the temperature of a desert. It must be caused by the special environment."
"Fortunately Miss Huo knew how to deal with that monster, otherwise we might all die here today!"
"Miss Huo, thank you so much." (End of this chapter)
