Mystery Leaks

Chapter 111
Tu Xiong and Tu Bao stared wide-eyed, and fell straight on their faces, bleeding all over the floor.Behind him, Liu Erlong held two bloody short knives with a murderous look.

The sudden change shocked everyone. No one thought that Liu Erlong would suddenly attack Tu Xiong Tu Bao.

The crowd cheered and dispersed immediately, staying far away from Liu Erlong, not understanding that he had a grudge against the three brothers of the Tu family, and thought he was a ghost.Even Cao Nan and I felt incredible.

Liu Erlong gave us the impression that he is a self-proclaimed "Jinpen Township leader", a coward who squeezes soft persimmons and will be cowardly when he meets a strong man.

When the three brothers of the Tu family just came back last time, he was beaten up so hard that he didn't dare to resist at all. When he was beaten, he huddled in a corner and begged for mercy.

To be honest, I don't look down on this kind of person, who is a typical person who prefers to be soft and fears hard, and when he encounters a ruthless stubble, he will immediately be cowardly like an egg.

So when Huang Mao asked me why I didn't help Liu Erlong, I said confidently that he didn't resist himself, so how could I help.

But looking at it now, Liu Erlong is not the kind of coward he imagined, he is only cowardly on the surface, but actually he is ruthless.

There are two kinds of people, one is outright tyrannical, such as the three brothers of the Tu family, and the other is yin and ruthless, the typical one is Liu Erlong.

Once this kind of person is offended severely, he will hide his hatred in his heart and be extremely obedient on the surface, but if he finds a chance for revenge, he will definitely not be soft-hearted.No wonder Huang Mao didn't object to playing with him, probably he had already seen clearly that Liu Erlong was not a coward.

It's ridiculous that the three brothers of the Tu family were completely deceived by Liu Erlong. When Tu Hu and Tu Bao forced him to come over, they didn't have any defense at all, and they lost everything.

"I said before, I will definitely avenge my revenge!"

Liu Erlong gritted his teeth, and kicked Tu Bao hard on the face where his eyes were not fully closed.The one who beat him the hardest was Tu Bao, who had the most violent temper.

"You already have two hearts, don't you have any other ideas?" After kicking Liu Erlong, he turned and looked at the crowd, the two short knives were still dripping blood.

The crowd naturally shook their heads quickly, and the same sentence, as long as they are not the ones who died, it doesn't matter whose heart is there, as long as they have it.

Afterwards, Liu Erlong looked at Cao Nan and me, and said, "Is it directly poaching hearts?"

"It should be." Cao Nan ran over in a hurry, and I immediately followed.

Liu Erlong still hated his teeth itching, without any hesitation, he kicked the short knife away from Tu Bao Tu Xiong's hand, turned over the corpse and started digging, blood that hadn't completely solidified was everywhere, everyone who watched covered their eyes.

Liu Erlong obviously didn't have much technical content. After taking out Tu Bao's heart, half of Tu Bao's body was opened, and even I felt my eyelids twitch.

After digging it out, Tu Bao put the bloody heart on the hands of the kneeling ranger, and took two steps back.

"Da da da, rumbling..." Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the mechanism, and the ground in front of the statue slowly parted, revealing a downward staircase. It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Damn it, True Spirit!"

"Is this the exit?"

"Is there any danger?"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, I took a look and murmured in my heart, wondering if the following was an exit or a trap.I always feel that there are many traps, but all the institutions of the tomb think of doing everything possible to kill all the tomb robbers who enter, how can there be any reason to let them out?

Liu Erlong picked up the fluorescent stick, folded it, and threw it under the stairs.The light sticks slid all the way down, illuminating the long stairs, which were bottomless.Then he dropped three more in one breath, and finally one stopped, illuminating a short range.

"Can you go down?" Liu Erlong asked.

I couldn't answer for a while, because I couldn't see the bottom at all, who knows what's underneath.

"Let's go down, since the tomb robbers have all gone down, why should we hesitate." Cao Nan bit the bullet and made a decision.

I nodded slowly. Staying here is not an option. It is risky not to leave the tomb, and you have to take the risk you should take.

So Cao Nan and I took the lead and walked in, and everyone hurriedly followed and walked down the stairs slowly.

"Boom..." Just after entering and descending less than [-] steps, the mechanism above was activated again, and the two zigzag-shaped boulders slowly closed together, tightly fitting.The craftsmanship is astonishing, like precision cogs.

This section of the road is similar to the corridor, the difference is that it is very rugged downwards, and the stone steps look a lot rougher.

Gradually, I feel that the air is getting cooler and more humid.Half an hour later, the steps were covered with water and moss, and the ground was even slippery when stepped on.

I was careful, if I fell down such a long stone step, I would definitely be smashed to pieces.

At this time, the rear lightning flashed, and there was a clear footprint on the stone steps in front.

"There is a seal!" Cao Nan also saw it, and shouted in surprise.

The crowd gathered around and couldn't help cheering. This must have been left by the people before the tomb robber and others, and the traces are still fresh.

I also became excited, which at least shows that I did not go wrong, the tomb robber and his party came down here.

"Huh, huh, huh..." At the same time, a sound similar to water waves came from below. It was very slight, but it was very clear in the silent corridor.

The further down you go, the louder the sound becomes.

Soon, a flowing dark river appeared in front of us, and the clear water splashed on the steps, waves and waves.The underground river is not that big, only a few feet long and wide, but it is bottomless.

"This... can this go out?"

"They're all out, and we can get out too."

"Will it be dangerous?"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion.

I also hesitated in my heart, always feeling that it came out like this, a little too easy.The so-called bully the mountain but not the water, the danger in the water is more dangerous than on the road.The dark river flows into the distance, and there is no end in sight.

"Let's go out, no matter it's dangerous or not, we have to try it. Now it's almost dark outside, and the more cloudy the air, the more accidents will happen." Cao Nan said.

I said yes, there is no other way now, but to go all the way to the dark.

"Throw away the stele, let's go into the water." Cao Nan said to me, and then began to discard some unnecessary things on his body, and he should pack lightly when entering the water.

I looked at the stele and hesitated. Cao Nan was right. The stele weighs twenty catties. If I don’t throw it away, I will be dragged down.

But I don’t know why, but my intuition told me that this stele should not be thrown away. The reason is that when it was chased by a group of snakes, it turned red, and then the group of snakes retreated.

At first I thought it was the big snake that was crushed to death, and the snakes backed away because they were afraid, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that was not the case. The snakes seemed to be forced to retreat by the red light of the stone tablet.Otherwise they could have chased the entrance and wiped us all out.

If the guess is correct, then this stele has saved the lives of those who were still alive, and it must not be thrown away before the danger is over.

Thinking of this, I shook my head and said, "I'd better take it with me, and throw it away if I can't."

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If it doesn't work out, it will be a life-saving straw.

Cao Nan and Liu Erlong looked at each other, both puzzled. Liu Erlong looked at the backpack containing the fluorescent sticks and suggested, "Why don't you pack it with this one? It looks like it's waterproof, and it might float."

I took the bag and took a look. It seemed to be really waterproof, specially for tomb thieves. When they go to the tomb, they will inevitably encounter wet or wet places, so I have been prepared for it.

I opened the backpack, put the stone tablet in, pulled it up and pressed it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was really a waterproof backpack, and it didn't even leak air.

Then, everyone tied a fluorescent stick to their bodies, discarded unnecessary things and entered the water one after another, and drifted down the dark river with the current.

I was very nervous, and I was deeply afraid that the dark river would go underground, and then I would be on the verge of extinction. No one would have the strength to swim upstream and get caught in the dark river that I couldn't breathe. day.

The underground river meanders continuously underground, no one knows how long it is, let alone when it leads to the sea.

The most likely possibility of the dead is that they were eaten up by the creatures of the dark river, and then their remains sank into the depths of the dark river, staying deep underground forever.

This is the greatest danger, and there are other dangers besides this.

After swimming for a while, I glanced out of the corner of my eye, and found a black figure flashing past on the left side of the crowd, not too small.
