Manor Romance

Chapter 157 The Frozen Lion
Xiao Qiong's status in Nanyuan Group is no less than that of Wang Chengyuan. Everyone respectfully calls her Mr. Xiao, saying that behind every successful man there is a woman, and the person behind Wang Chengyuan is her. Nanyuan Group has the scale it is today , Inseparable from her foresight, Xiao Qiong's reputation in the business circle is no less than that of Wang Chengyuan, and she is the best spokesperson for strong women.

When Wang Chengyuan made the decision to come to Snow Mountain, she was the most staunch opponent. She did not distrust Wang Chengyuan's ability, but it was just out of a woman's intuition. This journey gave her a bad feeling, and she believed in herself very much. This intuition turned out to be a real problem.

After giving all the orders, she didn't stay idle, she took out her phone and searched, and she hoped to deploy all the power she could use, more power, more guarantee for Wang Chengyuan's safety.

The search and rescue team that went into the mountain returned to the base one after another, and successfully rescued some of the trapped mountaineering tourists, but there was no sign of Yunli and Wang Chengyuan. Wang Yuyao went to inquire with them, but there was no news about it. The area they were going to was too deep, even if the search and rescue team was fully equipped, they might not be able to find it, not to mention that the Meili Snow Mountain was still in danger after the avalanche, and they did not dare to spend the night in it.

The fire brigade contacted by Wang Yifeng arrived soon. He personally put on his equipment and drove a snowshoe into the mountain overnight with the team. Wang Dongcheng also volunteered to join the team to guide them. The night could not stop their determination to rescue.

The fall of night did not affect the ancient tomb, but it affected the intruders all the time. Yunli and the three of them are in a very bad situation now. The ice water has risen to the knee level. The three people's mobility and The speed was greatly affected, but the location of the main tomb still had no clue. They could only go down at once, and there was no better countermeasure to deal with the current crisis.

In order to prevent being washed away by the icy water, the three of them were connected together with a safety rope, marched in a row, and wore oxygen masks for their mouths and noses. Even if the passage was flooded, they could still support them for a period of time. It's just that the icy water is bitingly cold, and once it rises to the position of the heart, it won't take long for them to go into shock.

"There is a situation above, and the ice layer above is empty. Let's find a way to climb to it." Through the feedback from the broken forbidden beads, Wang Chengyuan discovered the situation that inspired them, and the three of them immediately stopped and looked up. Look at the condition of the ice.

The ice layer on the passage here is very thick. If it weren't for the existence of the forbidden beads, they would not be able to find that it was empty. If Yunli's electromagnetic force was still there, I believe he would be able to detect it, but now he can only Relying on himself and his teammates, after so long in the ice water, his physical condition has deteriorated sharply, but he has been gritting his teeth and holding on.

"Dumb, you are light weight, ride on my shoulders, do as I did before, use the forbidden bead to tap the ice layer to see if there are any weak spots, so we can break through the ice layer and take refuge." Wang Chengyuan came Go to the mute, hand him the broken forbidden pearl and explain it to him. After the mute understood what he meant, the two of them acted immediately.

Fortunately, the location of the ice layer is not high, and the two of them stacked up and stretched out their hands to reach it. Wang Chengyuan could see that Yunli had almost reached his limit, so he took all the responsibility. In fact, his own situation was not much better. However, there is a steel-like thought in my heart supporting me, always reminding myself that I must never fall down in this place.

Yunli was not idle either, he took out the small ice chisel again, tied it to one end of the safety rope, and planned to use it to climb up the ice later, but at this moment, a strong cold wind suddenly blew in the passage , Immediately afterwards, a large amount of icy water surged from the passage, and all three of them were knocked to the ground at once.

"Yah, cough." The three of them were tied together with a safety rope so they were not washed away directly. The dumb man was choked by the ice water, but he pointed to the area in the upper left corner to remind the two of them.

The icy water came very quickly, and the water level soon reached halfway up. Yunli knew the existence of the weak point, so he didn't care about it anymore. Electromagnetic force can't be used, but the body tempered by electromagnetic force for so many years is far away. He is very comparable to others, and has unimaginable potential that can be stimulated. With all his strength, he threw the small ice chisel straight into the weak area, breaking the ice layer at once, and shattered a small hole that could allow people to pass through. And the small ice chisel was inserted directly into the cliff above, just to provide them with a way to climb.

After throwing vigorously, Yun Li only felt that his body was exhausted. If Wang Chengyuan hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed him, he might have fallen into the icy water. The mute was the first to climb up to the upper area along the rope, and then It was Wang Chengyuan, Yun Li didn't have the strength to climb up now, so the two pulled them up together, and they avoided it for the time being.

The clothes of the three of them were all wet when they were washed by the ice water just now. They immediately took out other spare clothes from their backpacks to replace them. There were not many spare clothes, not to mention that they had already changed when they fell into the frozen lake. After a while, if we get wet again, there will be no more clean clothes to change. This problem is more serious than lack of food and water.

"There is actually a passage above the passage, and this passage is not going downward. Is it good news for us?" Wang Chengyuan said after changing into dry clothes and looking around for the general situation, regardless of rest. .

"Whether it's good or bad, you'll have to walk through to know. Let's keep going. The location here is not high, and the icy water below will rush up soon. I don't want to take a cold shower anymore." Yun Li said with a wry smile.

"Can you still hold on, how about I carry you for a while?" Although Yun Li was still in the mood to joke, Wang Chengyuan knew that he was just holding on and might fall down at any time, so he proposed aloud.

"I can hold on for the time being. Let's go on. I have my own measure and I won't drag everyone down." Yun Li stood up while supporting the wall, and took the lead. At this critical moment, Wang Chengyuan can still say He was very moved by such words, and he kept this kindness in his heart first.

Wang Chengyuan saw that Yunli was so stubborn, so he didn't say anything else, and quickly followed up with the mute. This upper passage was not much different from the one below, and they could only walk.

"Have you heard the sound of running water? The icy water is rushing up faster than expected. We have to quicken our pace." Yun Li walked in the front, and after hearing the bad situation, he warned the two people behind him, and said Immediately changed to run.

"It is estimated that after the big avalanche, the water source area was shaken and the embankment was broken to have such a water volume, which directly enhanced the power of the flooded mechanism in this ancient tomb. You see, the ice layer in the upper passage is not as strong as the bottom. The traces of water droplets indicate that this place has not been flooded before." Wang Chengyuan analyzed, and he and the dumb also followed Yunli and ran away.

"It should be like this. I really forgot to look at the almanac when I went out. What kind of shit luck did I have, and there was another fork in the road ahead." Yun Li panted and cursed, and chose a random side to enter.

It seems that not only did they not check the almanac, but they didn't even check the constellations when they went out. Upper area.The span between each stone step is very large, with different heights. It is not designed for people to walk, and some places are even higher than people. Judging from the current state of the three of them, climbing this stone step is no different from walking in the sky. .

In order to survive, they have to grit their teeth even if it is Tianchao. After avoiding an empty step trap, they found that this stone step is full of mechanism traps. After learning about this situation, they became happy , with the help of the miraculous effect of breaking the forbidden beads all the way through, since so many blocking mechanisms have been used, it indicates that the real main tomb is not far away.

After tossing and tossing for so long, I finally saw some hope. Not only Yunli, but even Wang Chengyuan and Dumb have brought out the potential in their bodies to the extreme. Even though the icy water is rushing up quickly and there are many traps, they work together to overcome difficulties. Finally, they came to the end of the stone steps, and a huge stone gate blocked their way again.

The mute was the first one to rush up, but when he came up, he was so frightened that he almost rolled down the stone steps. Wang Chengyuan and Yun Li rushed forward, and they were too shocked to speak by the scene before them. Disregarding their image, they collapsed on the ground to take a rest, looking around, there was still some time before the icy water rushed up, and they had to find a way to break in as soon as possible.

There are no handles, pull rings or other switches on the stone door, except for a shallow gap left in the central closure, the whole is an airtight stone wall, with the same map carved on the altar wall, and the front of the door The decoration is also very different, or unconstrained. In ancient times, generally large families would erect stone lions on both sides of the front door to show their majesty. In front of this stone gate, there are actually two square giant ice blocks on the left and right. Inside, there is actually a real long-haired lion sealed in ice!

The two long-haired lions are huge, and they are proudly roaring. The huge ice is crystal clear, and there is no extra light source around. At first glance, it is easy to mistake it for two live lions guarding the door. Just now the mute was so frightened by these two frozen lions that he collapsed to the ground.

"What a great handwriting! This time I am really convinced. No matter how this ancient tomb tortured us before, if I can see this scene, it will all be written off. What do you think, Xiaoli?" Wang Chengyuan lay on his back Said to Yunli in the middle of the two frozen lions.

"I'm rather greedy. I'm not reconciled not to see the real main tomb. I think more interesting things will be revealed one after another. It just depends on whether we can live to see it." Yun Li said weakly, lying next to Wang Chengyuan, With his eyes closed, he seemed in no mood to appreciate this pair of whimsical frozen lions.
