Chapter 397 Fighting the Ancient Tomb (10)

While cleaning the battlefield, they found a devil's seriously wounded man, his whole body was covered with bandages, only his bloody mouth and nostrils were exposed, blood was still oozing from the bandages, and he had fallen into an unconscious state. There are wounds all over the body, and there is an unpleasant pungent sour smell.

"This guy seems to have been skinned!" Tan Lin picked up his bandage and took a look. There was a bloody mess inside, which seemed to have rotted away. Could it be that this guy has been injured for a long time?

"It deserves it!" Zhang Duogua scolded, "Why don't you just stay at home and come to China to make trouble?"

"It's impossible for them to come in with the wounded. This guy is probably injured here, but what can hurt him like this?" The fisherman felt that the injury seemed a bit strange.

"Here's another one..." Zhang Duogua kicked the corpse on one side, "This guy is like this on his shoulder."

Lin Feng picked it up with a knife and found that the corpse's shoulder was also a bloody mess, the bandages were all stained red, and there were some pus-like mucus, which looked very disgusting.

"It must have been calculated by some agency." Si Xuanyi couldn't think of anything else that could hurt these little devils like this, after all, neither of them suffered gunshot wounds.

"What kind of mechanism can make a person into such a virtue?" Even the fisherman thought the injury was strange. If it was a mechanism, it shouldn't cause such a large area of ​​damage. It looks like it can only be caused by human torture. result.

"Anyway, I can't figure it out now, so don't waste time, grab what you can and let's go." Seeing that Si Xuanyi couldn't figure it out, it would be better to find a way out as soon as possible.

In this way, they had a lot more things on them, all of which were necessities for survival. Except for submachine guns and ammunition, they were basically replenished. After all, the devils did not use American-made M3 submachine guns, so the ammunition could only be used sparingly, but they also brought A part of the [-]-cap bullet was put on just in case. After all, none of them knew how long they would be trapped in this place. The most critical thing, drinking water, was fully replenished. There is no water source in this kind of place. If you have been sleepy for too long, and you can persist after being hungry for a few days, it will be troublesome if there is no water.

After this encounter, they became a lot more cautious. After several observations of those organ sections, the fisherman and Lin Feng combined the knowledge of Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Qimen Dunjia, and finally deduced some rules. Those lines can be divided into four situations. , smooth straight lines, small ripples, large ripples, and finally angular patterns, which should be designed according to the law of change, but they don't know the direction and specific laws of the process of change, but they are finally in this maze-like place Having found the sense of direction, the decision to be made now is how to go, whether to proceed according to the ripples from shallow to deep, or to do the opposite.

"Isn't this a principle from the inside to the outside? A straight line should be in the direction of the entrance, and the final corner pattern should be in the direction of the tomb." Zhang Daogua thinks this is a very simple truth, so it doesn't take so much effort.

"Have you forgotten? They are fleeing from the inside, and the setting may be exactly the opposite of what you think?" Lin Feng's thinking is still relatively careful, and he always thinks more than others, but this is just his guess.

"That's why we can't judge which side is right for us now." Si Xuanyi said.

"Then which way should we go? Go in or leave here to blow up the hole?" Tan Lin asked.

"Do you think there is any difference?" The fisherman shook his head, thinking that there was something wrong with this kid's head.

"Is there no difference?" Tan Lin was a little puzzled.

"If we can't tell the direction of this thing, we can't determine where we are going no matter how we go?" the fisherman said, "So we have no choice, and it is useless to choose. We can't choose the direction we want to go. Which side is it, but at least we can be sure that no matter which way we go, we can at least reach the tomb or the exit, but we don’t know what the result of our choice is.”

"Then what should we do?" Tan Lin finally understood what the old man meant.

"Then don't choose..." Si Xuanyi who hadn't spoken for a long time finally spoke.

"Then we must have a goal, right? Going blind is not the way." Zhang Daogua felt that what Si Xuanyi said was a bit strange.

"I see." Lin Feng said, "You mean we just need to choose one direction and go, no matter where we go."

"Yes..." Si Xuanyi nodded, "Choose what we want to do according to the last place we arrive. If we enter the tomb, we will continue to fight with the little devil. If we leave here and go outside, we will seal this place and keep the little devil." The devils are all blocked inside, but the risk of doing this is that there are too many devils here, which may cause huge damage to the entire tomb. Don't forget that they have guns and bullets in their hands, even if they can't blow up the hole, they can destroy the tomb. The bombing is messy, and people can do anything when they are desperate. In this way, it will cause immeasurable damage to the entire tomb, and that is not the result we hope to see."

"In that case...at least we can save our lives." Zhang Duogua was blunt. He didn't care what was in here, and he didn't care how much damage the little devil had done. He didn't ask for anything else if he could survive. During the mission, he was still a little cautious. If he could get into this legendary ancient tomb and grab a handful, even if it was a few pieces of silver, at least he could make some foreign money. But he didn’t expect this mission to be extremely dangerous. Almost got his life stuck here and getting out, so now he wants nothing but getting out of this damn place.

"This is not something we can choose. Everything is our inference. As for whether this road will work, it is still unknown. What we can do now is to make a choice of which direction to go. As for this road. Where to go can only be left to fate, so everyone should not have too much hope, whether you go in or go out, we will talk about it when we really reach that point.” The fisherman reminded everyone that what he meant was obviously just what he and Lin Feng discovered based on their own findings. Some of the assumptions made by the information, as for whether this is the case, none of them know, they can only rely on themselves to further confirm, if they are right, then they have two ways to go, and these two ways account for half of the possibility Send them out, or bring them in. After all, they have found the hope of leaving this never-ending passage. The reason why they say this is just a hope is because they still cannot face up to whether this judgment is correct.

"We all understand this, so there's no need to think so much. It's useless to waste your brain, just choose a direction." Si Xuanyi said, "From deep to shallow, advance from the direction of the horn lines to the straight line; It doesn't matter which direction we arrive at first, at least it's a process of our judgment, even if we don't want to go to the place we want to go, at worst, we just go back again according to the way back, and waste some energy at most. It’s a bit dangerous, anyway, we will inevitably encounter little ghosts wherever we go.”

What you said is very reasonable, and it also saves everyone from being entangled in the choice issue. Now that the direction of progress has been determined, other people have nothing to say. This time they are not walking as blindly as before. Just stop and watch the place where the mechanism changes and wait to see the pattern on the fracture, judge whether you should enter the next passage according to the change of the pattern, if you can't, go back to the other side, anyway, the passage here is constantly changing, go back Walking for a while is not the same as turning back.

Although walking this way is slow, it saves a lot of energy. They were exhausted before, so they can take the opportunity to recover, but the traps that keep appearing are really annoying. Without Lin Feng and the fisherman, they would really be unable to move forward.

"As long as there are people who know how to do it, the agencies here are nothing." Zhang Daogua felt that these things were a bit useless, and under the leadership of Lin Feng and the fisherman, didn't they all come here one by one?
"Don't you understand?" The fisherman shook his head and glanced at him with a sigh, "Although we know how to deal with these small traps, this is not the point. The large traps in the entire passage are the most deadly. Here, even if you can avoid the attacks of these small institutions, you will not be able to leave this place, and this is the key."

"Actually, how many people can understand how to deal with the organs here? We are lucky. At least two people in the team understand. What about the little devil? What about the other grave robbers? It's hard to say whether they understand, even we I'm not sure I can leave this place, what if I were someone else? Wouldn't they all be trapped here to death?"

"We have been stuck here for a long time, but the range we have gone to is still very small. The reason is that this place is constantly changing. If we keep walking in one direction, he will continue to correct this direction and let us go. Going back, even if you occasionally turn to other places, you will be transported back to this area by this huge mechanism, unless we find a pattern or other methods to choose which passages can be used and which passages can not be used to leave this small area and enter a deeper place Go, this is the most dangerous thing about this institution. If you can't get out, it doesn't mean that you can't leave this large institution, it means that you can't even leave this small area. If he walks here blindly, he will never be able to get out for the rest of his life." Lin Feng said, "I roughly calculated that it takes us about an hour to walk around this small area, and four to six consecutive changes in the mechanism can take us away. To the original place, I still don’t know how big the entire area is, and how many such small areas it consists of, but I hope there are not too many, otherwise it will not be easy for us to go out.”

"You mean it's very big here, and there are so many small areas where we operate?" Tan Lin roughly understood what he meant, "If you say that, how big is this ancient tomb? ? This is impossible, judging from the manpower and material resources of the year, it should not be possible to build such a large project."

"Actually, the scale of this ancient tomb doesn't need to be too large, it just needs to have enough sophisticated mechanisms to operate. Two or three of our activity areas are enough to trap a large number of outsiders." Lin Feng said, " This mechanism is indeed stronger than I expected; besides, it took more than ten years or even decades before and after the construction of this kind of royal mausoleum-level tomb, and there was a lot of time to fine-tune the details and build the mechanism."

"Only in such a small area? We have never seen many places we have traveled." Tan Lin still felt that there was a loophole in the deduction of the two of them. Ten kilometers away, even if the mechanism operates back and forth, they should be able to find some clues.

"I also said that occasionally we can go to other areas, but it will work back, and this is the most powerful mechanism. You can't see it, but you can't leave it. Even if you want to destroy this place , I can’t find a place to destroy it.” Lin Feng admired the mechanism designer here.

"It would be great if we could really trap the little devil inside like this." Si Xuanyi said, "How much trouble would it save us?"

Following the changes of those patterns, they are constantly changing directions. In fact, the change of direction is not that complicated. There are only two changes before and after. In this way, they continue to enter different passages, seemingly standing still , but the fisherman could see that they were slowly moving away from the range of their activities before, and finally they entered a passage they had never walked through before. This passage was full of bones, but it was not Japanese. These bones are quite old, their clothes and flesh have rotted away, only Leilei's white bones are densely packed across the passage, and various weapons are scattered nearby...

"This should be the tomb-robbing army of the great general of the country, and they are also trapped here." Si Xuanyi wondered why there was no trace of anyone coming in along the way.

"But the general surnamed Guo escaped, why didn't he take these people out?" Lin Feng frowned looking at the bones all over the floor, "Since he can get out, these people have no reason to be trapped here."

"They may have stayed in the tomb and were ordered to carry these things inside." The fisherman picked out a string of treasures from under a corpse, "But there was a mudslide outside, they didn't know, and the guides had been gone for a long time, so they planned to I went out by myself, but I was trapped here; according to our previous inferences, this is where people are trapped, and it should not be far from the tomb."

"You mean that they were trapped in the small area that just left the tomb?" Zhang Duogua didn't stay still.

The fisherman nodded: "Yes! Even if we go, they won't go too far if they don't know how to choose a route. We are approaching our destination."

"Hey...going around or burning more and more inward?" Tan Lin shook her head. In fact, he hoped to go outside and blow up the passage, trapping the little devil here. Unfortunately, things backfired and entered this deeper place. ...
