Indiana Jones

Chapter 253 Going Deeper (03)

Under the woodcutter's flashlight, there are floating corpses everywhere, there are as many as a dozen of them, and this is only within the range they can see. This space is not limited, and there are probably more in the dark...

Most of the corpses have been waxed. It is strange that they did not find any rotting corpses, but most of these things are incomplete, and the hideous faces make people shudder to see. These corpses are floating around them, except for those soaked in water There are countless thigh-thick stalagmites with sharp tops around his corpse. These stalagmites are also filled with corpses, and only bones are left under the layers. Obviously, some people were directly penetrated by these stalagmites when they fell from above. , should die extremely miserable, these corpses are dressed in different styles from ancient to modern, they even saw Ming Dynasty costumes and people with braids, and there is still water flowing down all around, but it doesn't seem to be as strong as when they fell Violently, it seems to be slowly decreasing.

This scene like Senluo Hell was so strange and shocking that Si Xuanyi and the woodcutter couldn't even speak, and just stood there stupidly. Only then did Si Xuanyi realize that there was indeed more than one sentence between him and the woodcutter. These two corpses are fairly new and "fresh", and they look like they should be in the same group as the people in the waterfall. It's just that they haven't been able to determine whether they are in the same group as the tomb robbers, but people who can enter this kind of place are not would be too much.

"Grandma's." The woodcutter finally recovered from the shock, "This is a place where corpses are piled up."

"Is it true that people who have been hit by traps are sent here? Then they fend for themselves?" Si Xuanyi looked around to see if there was any place where he could get on or get out of the water. This place is really disgusting, even if No matter how courageous he is, he is unwilling to stay in the pile of corpses, even though he has a personal experience.

"It should be that all the things in the traps that have been washed by the water are gathered here. No wonder we can't see anything. It turns out that there is an automatic cleaning system here. As long as someone comes in, the trap will automatically activate this system. The water is rushing to this place, does that corpse over there look familiar?" The woodcutter pointed his flashlight at a corpse, and Si Xuanyi recognized it was the one they saw shot before. The tomb robber who turned into a hedgehog was also rushed here, but there is still a question that I can't figure out, "Then why is there so much dust in the passage we walk in? If it is washed by water, there should be no dust. "

"As I said, the cleaning system will only be activated when the mechanism is activated. There is so much dust on it, it can only mean that no one has been here for a long time. This is an automatic mechanism. All the tomb robbers have been rushed here, maybe all the passages here have such a design, and the mechanism operates automatically to ensure that the entire mausoleum is always clean, which is really clever!" The woodcutter actually had admiration in his tone.

"Then other people should be here too." Si Xuanyi looked around but it was pitch black, and the only flashlight was in the hands of the woodcutter, so what he could see was really limited.

"Look around." The woodcutter looked at the nearby water surface, which was full of strange corpses. The water was too loud, and shouting naturally didn't work.

Si Xuanyi felt that his chest was stuffy and it was hard to breathe. It was probably because he had been under water for too long just now. He was about to swim forward when he gathered his mind, but the woodcutter stopped him when he moved, "Why are you in a hurry? Search these test questions to see if there is anything that can be used? How long can we last with this flashlight?"

Si Xuanyi secretly scolded himself for thinking too little. Judging from these corpses, many of them died somehow after falling into this place?Not everyone fell on those stalagmites. Some people must have been alive when they came down, but they were all trapped here alive. Why?Is there really no way to escape?

Thinking of these, he couldn't help feeling guilty for a while, and seeing the desperate expressions on the faces of those corpses, he seemed to be also desperate.

"Why are you in a daze, hurry up." Seeing him standing there blankly, the woodcutter urged.

Only then did Si Xuanyi come to his senses, and immediately rummaged through the nearby corpses. The equipment bags that these corpses carried contained a lot of things, which were similar to those on the corpse in the passage just now. It seemed that they should be the same A group of people, two of them still have that long steel rod on their bodies.

A flashlight was found on a dead body, but it seemed that the flashlight was soaked in water and was about to run out of power. The light was extremely dim, and it seemed that it might go out at any time, but it was better than nothing, and the two started with the flashlight. Searching here, one is to find other people, and the other is to find out if there is a way to leave, but the second possibility is not very likely, but you have to try, after all, it is not time to despair.

The water here is very deep, and the two of them can only swim between the corpses. This kind of feeling is not good, especially when they pass by those waxed corpses, the hideous and strange faces really make them shudder.

It was too dark and they couldn't figure out how big it was, and they couldn't see the height above their heads, but water kept writing down from above, and the sound of rumbling water was much quieter than when they just fell.

Apart from the dead bodies, they couldn't see where other people were, nor could they hear any sound except the sound of water, which made them a little worried about the safety of others.

"Could it be that he rushed to another place?" Si Xuanyi swallowed a stalagmite to stabilize his body and planned to take a rest.

"It's unlikely. This should be a place where corpses are disposed of uniformly." The woodcutter continued to look around. There were too many corpses here, and there was nothing else to be seen except corpses.

"The sound of the water is much quieter." Si Xuanyi raised his head and looked up. He couldn't see anything, but he could feel that the water flow had become significantly smaller.

"Well, let's take a rest first, recover our strength, and wait until we reach the level." The woodcutter also supported the stalagmite to stabilize his body, and he was also quite tired. After all, he was old and his physical strength was not as good as Si Xuanyi's.

Sure enough, the water potential gradually decreased, and finally returned to calm, only the occasional sound of water droplets falling from time to time.

"The water level is falling." The woodcutter found that the exposed part of the stalagmite he was floating had grown a lot.

At this moment, they heard someone shouting in the distance. It was Li Siming's voice. Because of the severe echo, they couldn't tell where it came from, nor what he said.

Si Xuanyi shouted while raising the flashlight, hoping to attract Li Siming's attention.

"Not too far." The woodcutter listened for a while, "It seems to be calling for help."

"Go and have a look." Si Xuanyi realized that Li Siming might be in trouble.

Because they couldn't judge the direction of the sound, they could only grope forward based on their feelings. But after a lot of effort, they finally found Li Siming, and when they got closer, they both felt their hearts sink... …
