Hearing Lin Yi's words, everyone who had just woken up from a deep sleep suddenly stood on their backs.
If the situation is true as he said, wouldn't the end of the river be an abyss?
I finally escaped from the previous tomb, but I didn't expect that the end of this escape route would still be death.
So what exactly does he mean by "taking a gamble"?
At the moment, the flat boat is moving forward rapidly, and the biting cold wind is blowing in the face with ice particles. Everyone can't open their eyes at all, let alone open their mouths.
He could only obey Lin Yi's arrangement and lie down on the bottom of the boat, digging his fingers tightly into the gaps in the ship's planks.
The flat boat is getting closer and closer to the light beam in front, and the water mist in front of me has shown a colorful halo.
It was almost certain that Lin Yi's guess was correct. There was indeed a waterfall ahead, which indicated that they were about to be thrown out by inertia.
As the speed of the flat boat became faster and faster, everyone no longer dared to raise their heads to look ahead. They could only close their eyes tightly, as if waiting for the judgment of the God of Fate.
With the influence of gravity acceleration, the flat boat full of passengers flew out of the hole.
The light suddenly became brighter, and the dazzling light stung everyone unable to open their eyes.
I could only hear the whistling of the wind in my ears, the crunching of countless ice shards hitting my body, and the uncontrollable screams of everyone on the boat.
Lin Yi stood on the bow of the boat, and two daggers, one on the left and one on the right, were firmly inserted into the wood of the bow, acting as temporary handles.
He closed his eyes tightly until his eyes gradually adapted to the bright light, and then he slowly saw the scene in front of him clearly.
They actually got out of a hole in the middle of a cliff. Looking back, it looked like a flood outlet.
The rapid water rushed out of the cave and fell into the gap in the middle of the cliff.
The water flowed down for who knows how many feet. Anyway, at this height, you couldn't even hear the sound of the water below.
There is also a cliff on the opposite side, but there is also a wide hole directly opposite.
This hole is located lower, and it is also pitch black inside.
The flat boat is just like this, using the power of inertia to "fly" between the two cliffs. Visual inspection should be able to directly drill into the hole on the opposite side.
Facts have proved that his bet was right.
Just now, when he looked at the terrain at the end of the river, he concluded that it was a cliff like a patio.
Otherwise, the natural light from above cannot shine down.
At the end of this waterway, there is no place for a flat boat to dock.
Then there is only one possibility:
Opposite this gap, covered in light, lies a way out.
Everyone still didn't dare to open their eyes until now. They didn't dare to open their eyes until they clearly felt the loud "bang" of the flat boat, and then it landed and began to slide.
"Where are you? Are you in the underworld?"
Wang Qiang's first words after opening his eyes amused everyone.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, how can this be the underworld?"
"That is to say, we seemed to have flown out from over there just now, and then landed here."
Soon, the flat boat entered the cave entrance again, and everyone was dimmed again.
This dark cave entrance is not a river, but more like an artificially dug tunnel.
It can accommodate almost the width of a flat boat, and there is a cold air all around.
The flat boat slid smoothly and quickly in this tunnel.
"Are we really okay?"
Wang Qiang climbed to the bow of the ship on his hands and knees and adjusted the lights on the bow to be brighter.
There were reflections of lights all around, and it was vaguely possible to make out that the tunnel was surrounded by thick ice walls, and the flat boat was gliding on the ice.
"Old Lin, what's going on? How did we get here?"
"Flying here!"
Lin Yi replied with a smile.
"Flying here? I just felt like the boat suddenly floated after we came out of the previous river, but it was too bright and I couldn't see anything. Why did we get into this hole again all of a sudden?"
"Whoever designed these levels is a genius!"
Academician Zhou, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.
"Comrade Xiaolin, let me tell you my speculation first. If there is something wrong, please correct it later."
"Just say it!"
Academician Zhou took a deep breath.
"The distance between the two cliffs seems to be natural, but it is actually carefully calculated. It can even be said that it is a layer of anti-theft device between the two cave entrances. Am I right?"
Lin Yi nodded.
"Yes, you continue."
After receiving Lin Yi's affirmation, Academician Zhou suddenly regained his energy. He squatted with the help of the boat, pointed at the hole behind him and gradually disappeared from sight, and said:
"The distance and height from the hole we came out to this hole are fixed. In other words, only by driving this kind of transport ship, and the load does not exceed the rated weight, can it pass the acceleration of the river and let it fly smoothly across the canyon. , enter this cave."
"That is to say, even if someone really enters this underground river and wants to find the location of the 'Jingjue King's Tomb' from the ground, they will not only have to withstand the attacks of those prehistoric creatures, but they will also have to withstand this natural chasm when they get here. A test?"
Professor Yu seemed to understand and immediately interjected.
"Yes, if the ship that rushes out of the river is too big or too small, and the weight is different, it will not be able to accurately fly into the hole on the opposite side."
Academician Zhou gave his final guess.
"Listening to your two analysis, it really feels like there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future in a new village!"
Mr. Lu also made the final concluding remarks.
After hearing their analysis, Wang Qiang finally came to a realization.
"Let me tell you, Lao Lin just said he wanted to take a gamble. Did you already know that there was a way out?"
"I'm just guessing. As Academician Zhou said just now, this chasm is also a mechanism. Even if you drive the most advanced ship and arrive at the entrance of the cave, you will be temporarily blinded if you are illuminated by the strong light from above. By the time you see it clearly, it will be too late to make any remedial measures!"
After listening to their analysis, everyone couldn't help but feel scared.
These links are all interlocked, and if you make a wrong step, you will be doomed.
If they had been in two boats when they left the underground river, or if they had not suffered any casualties, even if they had passed all the previous tests safely, they would have only rushed out of the river mouth and fallen into the abyss when they got here. .
"Then is the weight of our ship really the same as the weight of those transport ships loaded with granite more than two thousand years ago?"
Bai Lu's question once again attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Yi took out the dagger, then struck the bow a few times, and then pointed at the stern.
"You may not believe it, but there are water lines at the bow and stern of the ship, and the total number of people on board and our luggage is quite different from the ship's approved load capacity."
