In the tomb, I actually encountered two of the three major evils among the six minor evils, one was water gathering, and the other was quicksand!
The quicksand tomb in front of us is also the most difficult to deal with. Generally, once the quicksand mechanism is activated, the quicksand will never stop until the secret room is filled.
The structure and design of this room is like a scale. Only when the scale reaches a certain weight, the mechanism in the tomb will be activated to leak sand.
The so-called sand leakage means that the quicksand will be discharged through the bottom or around the wall, but the speed during this period will be very slow.
Just like quicksand in a funnel, there is a certain time standard, and the room of more than ten square meters is used for calculation.
I'm afraid that the quicksand will never be discharged in less than three hours. Let alone three hours, I'm afraid three minutes is enough for a person to suffocate to death!
It was at this time that Xu Jinxiu suddenly took out the tiger claw from her lower back, fixed the other end behind the rope, and immediately threw it towards the rock wall.
The quicksand is constant and the fine dust is flying. Without any protection, the fine sand can easily enter the eyes.
Seeing Xu Jinxiu take action, before I could react what was going on, he took my hand and we climbed onto the rock wall next to me.
"Chen Fan, be careful! Don't fall into it."
Fortunately, my reaction was very fast. From the moment she grabbed me, I put my arms around her waist. The fragrance was in my arms, and the two of us were close to each other instantly.
But at this time, I didn't have the time to think blindly. I was focused on looking for an exit and had no time to feel the reverie brought by the mountains.
"Damn it! Everything around here is sealed. We fell to the next level. There is no exit here at all!"
I couldn't help but cursed secretly. If we couldn't return to the previous level, we would have only one demerit, and that would be to wait to die!
To be honest, I was also panicking. After all, this is one of the three major evils among the six evils. Now I happened to bump into it. I was so unlucky that I felt like my teeth were filled with cold water.
The speed of the quicksand was getting faster and faster, and it was about to touch our waists. The two of us could only try to keep struggling.
But this quicksand is so soft that it will sink almost as soon as you set foot on it. It is no different from water flow.
"What to do? What to do!"
I kept pushing myself, forcing my head to spin. Only in this way, we might still have a chance of survival.
But I scanned the notes before, and my grandfather once made corresponding records. Once you encounter a quicksand tomb, it is equivalent to a narrow escape!
If you want to find an exit, you must find a breakthrough from the terminal of the figurines.
It was at this moment that my mind wandered. Is the terminal looking for a breakthrough?
"Don't be stunned, think of a solution quickly, if we can't get out, we will have to stay in the tomb as mummies for the rest of our lives!"
Xu Jinxiu gritted her teeth and frowned, her expression becoming a little painful.
Only then did I realize that Xu Jinxiu not only had to maintain her own weight, she also had to take care of my pendant...
I immediately grabbed the rope with one hand and blocked her waist with the other hand. The force of the fall was reduced a lot, and her expression became a little more relaxed.
I don’t know if I was really confident enough to make a joke at this juncture.
"Actually, it wouldn't be bad if we could really become a pair of mummies. At least the two of us can be companions and we won't be lonely on the road to hell."
Xu Jinxiu rolled her eyes at me.
"Please, Mr. Chen, you are joking, can you please split up the matter? We are almost finished now, but you still have the heart to make such a joke!"
I grinned and pointed to the coffin not far away in front of me.
"Find a way to send it to me first, the two of us have to be together!"
"what you up to?"
I pointed to the location of the hanging coffin and gave a brief explanation.
"The mechanism we touched is at that place. If there are no exits around, then the most likely place is here!"
"Okay! Let's swing over there!"
Xu Jinxiu and I looked at each other and used the wall to use our strength to carry our bodies over.
But I underestimated the distance between us. Even though the hanging coffin was only three meters away from us, if we just wanted to rely on the power of jumping, it might still be possible for one person.
The embarrassment is that the two of us are hugging each other. If one of us is not careful, one of us will probably fall off.
A lot of quicksand has accumulated now, and this is where the danger lies.
The more you cut, the more dangerous it is. Quicksand has the same properties as a swamp. The more you accumulate, the more you struggle, and the more powerful the suction force becomes. If you sink in, you basically can't pull it out.
I don’t think I have the superhuman ability to fly out again after entering...
"Almost...a little! Just a little bit! Work harder!"
He jumped twice in succession, but the distance was not as good as the previous one.
"Chen Fan, this won't work! We can't reach it!"
Xu Jinxiu gritted her teeth and tried to grasp the temples of the hanging coffin with her hands, but she was still a little short.
Seeing that if it continues like this, the space for movement will be reduced sharply. If you don't move at that time, neither of you may have a chance!
"Let's work hard together!"
I gritted my teeth and tried again. I bent my legs and the quicksand had reached my butt.
"No! It's too late, I'll jump over, you're trying to think of a way to swing over!"
"no!"
I almost didn't think about it and immediately rejected her request.
"You're going to make a mistake. No one can save you, not even me. I can't pull you out."
"It's too late, Chen Fan! I'm sure, my body is lighter than yours, I have the advantage!"
What she said is actually correct. Women's bodies are lighter and more flexible than men's.
But the key point is that her explosive power is not as strong as mine, and her limbs are not as long as mine!
Afraid that Xu Jinxiu would make the wrong choice because of her excitement, I grabbed her and spoke in an urgent tone.
"No! You can't take risks. You are lighter, but your explosive power is not as good as mine, and your limbs are not as long as mine. Can you guarantee that you will stop in a safe position the moment you pass by?"
My eyes were sharp and firm. She originally wanted to explain, but I interrupted her in a domineering manner.
"I said! Absolutely not. I have eyes, and everything must obey my orders. If you unfortunately die here, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jinxiu was stunned on the spot. I urged her again before she could speak.
"Don't think about it, we don't have time, just listen to me!"
I shook my body, but the tiger's claws actually became loose!
"Damn!!!"
I cursed secretly, if we drag it on any longer, we will all be finished.
