"It's done! It's all fucking done!"
Wang Qiang sat on the steps in despair, holding his head in his hands.
"Now is the melting period of the Kunlun Glacier, which has caused the water level of the underground undercurrent to surge, flooding the outlet at the bottom of the stone pillar."
Lin Yi explained while looking at the fluorescent stick that gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
"Consultant Lin, let me go into the water and take a look!"
Bai Lu volunteered to stand up again.
"Are you kidding me? This is glacier melt water, and it's covered in ice. With your small body, it's useless to go down. Moreover, none of us know how deep the water is. If we go down, we might not be able to get up! "
"Even if you really find an exit under the water, how many of us can swim? Not to mention there are two wounded."
"Yes, Miss Bai, it's too dangerous down here. I can't let you take this risk."
Although everyone is trying to persuade Bai Lu not to be impulsive.
But the disappointment expressed in words cannot be deceived.
When entering this tomb, Lin Yi made a divination.
"No hexagram" is not a good sign. In the end, it confirmed what the hexagram showed, and everyone was almost tricked to death by the villain Sun Bingjun.
Just when everyone was boarding this "ladder to heaven" and wanting to leave, Lin Yi made another prediction.
"Tai Gua", this is the eleventh hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams, which means: the gentleman is the Taoist, the villain is eliminated, and everything is good.
It just so happens that the previous hexagram was the "No" hexagram, and the "Tai hexagram" is taken here, which means that the "Fu" will come in peace.
But now, the underground river is blocking the way out, and there doesn't seem to be any good signs.
Behind them, Professor Yu and Xiao Song, two complete archeology nerds, have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
The master and apprentice are still recording and sampling the contents on the relief.
Wang Qiang could no longer sit still and came to Lin Yi's side.
"Let's make an idea! I'm afraid my brother's body won't be able to bear it if I keep doing it like this."
Lin Yi let out a long breath.
"We can only try the last resort!"
After speaking, he stood on the stone steps and simulated a strange cry with his mouth.
This voice began to echo in the heart of the mountain.
Wang Qiang next to him looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression:
"What is this for? Who is it signaling to?"
"Brother Monkey!"
"Brother Monkey? Are you kidding me? Do you think you are Tang Monk?"
"If you feel like second senior brother, I don't care."
Lin Yi stopped explaining, put his hands to his mouth, and made a series of strange sounds again.
Everyone was very puzzled, and it sounded quite outrageous.
But what happened to Lin Yi along the way was not outrageous?
They believed that Lin Yi must have his reasons for doing this.
After his screams continued for a while, a sharp cry suddenly came from above the stone steps in response.
"coming!"
Everyone looked up with puzzled faces and saw an agile black figure quickly shuttled on the stone steps of the "Ladder to Heaven", just like a parkour athlete doing extreme downhill.
Until this figure gradually approached, everyone finally saw its true appearance.
It was actually the marmoset with a human face.
It's not dead!
"Old Lin, what's going on? Wasn't this thing blown up together with that tree branch?"
"Yes, how could it follow us all the way?"
"Consultant Lin, how do you know it's not dead? Do you know that it's following us all the way?"
Everyone had too many questions, and Lin Yi couldn't answer them one by one, so he could only make short stories.
"When the explosive was about to detonate, I gave it a survival signal. Unexpectedly, this guy really understood it and escaped the disaster."
"Hey, is this little bastard so capable? How do you know it escaped a disaster? Did it send you a message?"
"You'd better stop scolding it in front of your face. Be careful of it secretly stumbling upon you again and dragging you somewhere you shouldn't go."
"Drag the stumbling block to a place it shouldn't be! Okay, it turns out that this naughty little bastard dragged me into the coffin and almost killed me. Let's see how I deal with it later."
Wang Qiang rolled up his sleeves, but was finally stopped by Lin Yi.
"When we were crossing the suspension bridge, I noticed that something had been secretly following us and observing our movements. Moreover, it had a path that it had carved out by itself, completely unaffected by these institutions.
I thought it should be a human-faced tamarin.
So, I was thinking just now that this guy is so familiar with this place and must know how to get out of here, otherwise it will starve to death. "
After hearing what he said, everyone understood his logic.
The lush natural scenery before was all an illusion created by Snake Eyes Cistanche in everyone's minds through the fog.
Looks good, but doesn’t care about being full.
If this marmoset wants to survive, it has to find its own food.
Therefore, it must know how to get out of the mountain.
At this moment, the human-faced tamarin had descended to the top of the stairs where everyone was, squatting at an appropriate and safe distance, looking at Lin Yi and the others with his eyes open.
Without the robe and crown, it was about the size of a half-adult macaque.
He was covered in black hair, with a tuft of white hair on top of his head, and his face was smoky, but his facial features were still recognisably human.
Lin Yi took out half a compressed biscuit from his pocket and threw it to it.
The little guy reached out to catch it, smelled it, observed it carefully for a while, then put it to his lips and licked it before he dared to stuff it into his mouth.
"Hey, this little bastard, after suffering a loss, he actually has a long memory!"
Upon hearing Wang Qiang's voice, the marmoset immediately bared its teeth, showing an expression of hatred.
"The marmoset is a very intelligent primate. If you scold it, it will hold a grudge."
"Okay, okay, Brother Monkey, you are awesome, okay, I won't say anything anymore!"
Wang Qiang reached out and stood behind Lin Yi.
The marmoset finished eating the biscuits and looked at Lin Yi with unfulfilled interest.
Compressed biscuits contain salt, which is a delicacy to wild animals.
"It's gone! Still want to eat? You have to go out from here to get it." Lin Yi carried the empty bag and gestured to convey the message to the marmoset.
This guy looked at it thoughtfully for a long time, then suddenly shouted and jumped up.
He passed over everyone's heads, jumped to the steps in front of them, and rushed down at a trot.
"It's an underground river down here. Can it still swim?"
"No matter, Bai Lu, let's go up and have a look before we talk!"
Lin Yi and Bai Lu followed the marmoset one after another and quickly descended to the lower end of the stairs.
The turbulent undercurrent kept hitting the stone steps under my feet, and it was impossible to see where there was a way out.
Unexpectedly, the marmoset suddenly plunged into the water after the two of them caught up.
"Is this exit really underwater?"
When Lin Yi and Bai Lu looked at each other, the marmoset suddenly popped its head out of the water.
The rapid current of the underground river did not push its small body into the rapids. It seemed to have caught something under the water. It clung to it with both arms and sent signals from its mouth to greet Lin Yi and the others. .
