Tomb Robber: Stop pretending, I am the Zhang family!

Chapter 96 The Giant Scorpion
After the corpses were dealt with, everyone continued to move forward.

At the beginning, the cave went down at an angle of about [-] degrees. The bottom was very deep and it was not easy to walk. If you were not careful, you might roll in the cave, knocking your head and bleeding.

Going further inside, the height of the cracks in the rock gradually increased, and the terrain suddenly opened up. The space became larger, but it was still very tortuous.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, they came to the end of the passage, and the space in front shrank and narrowed rapidly, leaving only a stone crevice that could only be entered sideways by one person, like an irregular sword mark, piercing deeply. into the rock.

Pan Zi asked: "Didn't you say that this is the secret way for craftsmen to escape? How did it become a narrow path? Can we continue to walk ahead?"

Zhang Yunfeng didn't care so much, he got in first and let the people behind him follow.

Monk Hua suddenly realized: "I guess this passage may use a natural rock crevice to form a secret passage after simple construction. Such rock crevices are very common in rock formations in volcanic areas, and they extend in all directions. The longest volcanic cracks can reach thousands of kilometers in length, covering the entire interior of the mountain like spider webs.

Maybe this volcanic gap can lead all the way to the Three Sacred Mountains on the opposite side. It is because of this that they can dig such a long secret path. It turned out that they used the passage created by nature. "

The fat man said with a sad face: "Could it be that we still have to get into this gap? You are all okay, I'm really in such a bad shape."

As early as when he was in the tomb under the sea, the fat man said he wanted to lose weight.

As a result, there is no actual action until now. Instead, his body has become bigger than before. He has to shrink his stomach to pass through the gap.

Monk Hua said as he walked: "As far as I know, this kind of volcanic caves are all dendritic structures. This gap should lead to a larger gap. This is called an underground corridor in geology. Some underground corridors have the same scale. It is very large, and its own unique ecosystem will even be formed inside, and I believe that the gap will definitely widen soon after entering, because this kind of geological destruction starts from the inside."

Not much to say, after everyone entered the gap one by one, they walked sideways like crabs. The rock wall here has no artificial traces, and it is almost impossible to turn their heads inside.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, there are traces of glazed flowers in front of it. Karst drip marks of various colors cover the rocks, covered with crystalline and transparent frost, arranged evenly like condensed water columns.

The road in front of it really became much wider as Monk Hua said, and everyone no longer needed to turn their bodies sideways, just walk across it, no doubt a lot easier.

The surrounding glass and melted mica reflect the light of the flashlight, making the surrounding light produce a magical effect. In addition, the large area of ​​lava thorns covered by volcanic debris, rope-like crusted lava, and lava stalactites are dizzying. very beautiful.

As we walked, the surrounding terrain became more and more open, and a train could even pass through the wide area. At the same time, we found some signs of human activities, such as abandoned rusty tools, traces of campfires, and excavated rocks. Judging from the traces, they are very old.

After walking forward for a while, a large number of signs of artificial construction began to appear in front of it. Many simple steps were cut out in the rock cracks and went straight up. These steps are actually some protruding stones, only slightly trimmed with tools. As big as a fat man, if you are not careful, you will step on the air.

After walking for more than an hour, everyone was panting and sweating profusely. Seeing this, Zhang Yunfeng had to ask everyone to stop and have a rest.

Taking advantage of the time spent eating and drinking, Tianzheng calculated the distance they traveled and the slope they descended, and learned that they were already inside the snow-capped mountain, below the snow line, and might already be in the Great Sacred Mountain and the Small Sacred Mountain. Below the canyon between the two peaks.

If the two mountain peaks were to be walked on the surface, it would take at least eight hours to walk in a straight line, but it only took more than an hour to walk in the underground corridor, which greatly saved time and energy.

"Damn it, if the border defense above knows that there is such an underground corridor, it will definitely surprise them, right?" the fat man said carelessly.

Speaking of the frontier defense line above, Zhang Yunfeng calculated the distance of Aning and the others. It was estimated that they had crossed the frontier defense line and arrived at the rock crevice in the southwest of the underground palace. The speed was half a day slower than they should have been.

Going out from this crack in the rock can directly lead to the tomb passage of the underground palace. When the time comes, you only need to stop for a while, and you will meet Aning's team.

"It was really not easy for craftsmen back then. Even if a secret passage was left secretly, it would take countless years to repair it. It was really difficult to survive." Ye Cheng said.

This guy was leaning against a cracked rock wall, he didn't notice the things behind the rock crack at all, he didn't know that there was a huge centipede snake as thick as a bucket lying there silently.

Not to mention him, even Zhang Yunfeng and the little brother didn't notice it, because the protective color of the big bug was perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, and it couldn't be found without looking carefully.

This is because the gnat is a dormant animal, and it will only wake up when the surrounding temperature reaches a certain level, otherwise, it will lie motionless like a dead thing, unless it is stimulated by the environment. Usually like a rock.

Pan Zi took out a cigarette and distributed it to everyone: "Take a break, let's continue on our way, and find the third master as soon as possible."

He was very worried about the safety of the third master, and he seemed impatient all the way.

Everyone took the cigarettes, lit them and inhaled, and the cracks in the rock were filled with smoke, which was very choking.

The gnats are very sensitive to smoke, even when they are asleep, they will wake up when they smell it. Just as everyone was smoking and chatting, the huge gnat quietly woke up.

"This time, I have to touch a few valuable things to go back, so that I won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life. When the time comes, I will find a few more beautiful technicians..."

When Ye Chengzheng was talking with a wretched face, suddenly a big mouth full of fleshy teeth appeared from behind him, and he swallowed him in one gulp!

"Be careful!" Zhang Yunfeng shouted.

But it was already too late, the big bug swallowed more than half of Ye Cheng in one gulp, and then started chewing, and the scalp-numbing sound of bone shattering could be heard continuously from its bloody mouth!
Ye Cheng didn't even have time to scream, and died.
