Chen Yan sat on the ground and kept patting his thighs as a rhythm. With each pat, Peng Zhan and the girls exchanged positions with each other.
At first, there were no changes, but as the pace of filming became faster and faster, the figures of Peng Zhan and the girls also became so fast that only an afterimage remained.
At this time, a magical scene happened. The eight caves on the cave wall actually came together to form a huge cave.
Chen Yan was so happy that he immediately rushed towards the cave, crawling and rolling. He wanted to leave Peng Zhan and the others and escape alone.
As a result, as soon as he climbed to the entrance of the cave, Xiao Zhan's tail wrapped around his body and he hit the ground hard several times.
The smash made his stomach churn, and he begged for mercy repeatedly. If Ye Xiaowu hadn't stopped him, Xiao Zhan might have smashed him to death.
Looking at the dark cave, Peng Zhan and the others were still a little hesitant. After all, they didn't know where the other end of the cave led.
Just when everyone was hesitant to drill the hole, a ray of light came from the other end of the hole. At a corner of the hole, they actually saw a ray of sunlight.
"Sunlight, there is actually sunlight!" Cheng Wanling pointed at the hole and shouted excitedly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the hole quickly closed as if frightened by her voice. The originally wide cave became only accessible to one person in the blink of an eye.
Everyone rushed in without having time to think about it. Ye Xiaowu rushed in at the back. After she entered the cave, she found that Xiao Zhan was motionless there.
"Xiao Zhan, come in quickly!" Looking at the cave getting smaller and smaller, Ye Xiaowu waved hard to Xiao Zhan.
But Xiao Zhan just shook his head gently there. It was obvious that he didn't want to leave the ancient tomb.
Although it didn't make any noise or move too fiercely, the sadness of separation enveloped its whole body. If it could cry loudly, it would probably have cried to its heart's content at this moment.
Ever since taking the Snake King Pill, Ye Xiaowu and Xiao Zhan have developed a tacit spiritual understanding, so she can clearly feel Xiao Zhan's sadness and reluctance.
She couldn't help but burst into tears and waved desperately to Xiao Zhan. As the cave entrance slowly closed, Xiao Zhan completely disappeared from her sight.
The moment the cave entrance closed, Ye Xiaowu seemed to hear a hysterical cry similar to that of a baby.
She didn't want to be separated from Xiao Zhan, but she also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to return to Tenggui City with such a big snake.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan has been in the ancient tomb for more than two thousand years and has already integrated with the ancient tomb. If he leaves the ancient tomb, he may not be able to adapt to the living environment outside.
If it is accidentally discovered by humans, someone will definitely try every means to capture it, and then send it to exhibitions around the world to make money.
The most likely outcome is that Xiao Zhan cannot bear the humiliation, rises up to hurt others, and then is euthanized or even killed directly. Therefore, compared with these possible endings, staying in the ancient tomb is undoubtedly the best choice.
Not only was the entrance to the cave closed, the entire passage was also slowly shrinking, and soon it was so small that Peng Zhan and the others could only crawl inside.
In order to avoid getting stuck in the cave, Peng Zhan and the others had to speed up their crawling. In the end, they were as fast as a cannonball, almost being shot out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the sun was just right. Peng Zhan and the others rushed out and landed directly on a piece of green grass. Not far from the green grass, there was a pool, but at this time, the pool had turned bright red, like blood.
"If I guess correctly, this water pool is the real exit of the ancient tomb, and the one we took before was just a shortcut." Chen Yan said thoughtfully as he looked at the water pool.
"Will this be the only exit?" Peng Zhan asked quickly.
"According to the custom of that era, there should be only one exit, because the tomb designers wanted to ensure a narrow escape from death," Chen Yan said.
"What do you mean by ensuring a narrow escape from death?" Han Rubing asked with a frown.
"Before the Han Dynasty, some tomb designers, in order to show their talents, came up with the theory of nine deaths, that is, out of ten people entering the ancient tomb, nine people must die."
"In order to ensure this mortality rate, they will design many must-pass paths along the way. They will design mechanisms at multiple must-pass locations. After several rounds of elimination, those who survive to the end will have a narrow escape from death."
"Ah, isn't it just to prevent theft? Why bother?" Cheng Wanling asked with some confusion.
