At first I thought I was hallucinating, but when I listened carefully, I actually heard the voice of someone speaking. Although the voice was small and I couldn't hear what was being said, it at least gave me hope of survival.
Fatty Wu obviously heard someone talking, and he worked hard to stabilize his body slowly.
In this way, the two of us supported each other and walked up step by step with difficulty.
Fatty Wu was so dehydrated that his voice was hoarse, and every word he spoke seemed to be breaking the bellows.
I could still speak normally, but I didn't rush to call for help because I didn't know if the people talking at the end of the passage were Gouzi and the others.
What if it were Lou Tianguan and the others? Then the two of us would still die, but we would just die in another place.
I don’t know how long I have been walking forward, but there is also a fork in the passage in front of me, one is always upward, and the other is vertically downward.
The heat wave was ejected from the straight downward channel.
The closer you get, the more indescribable the burning feeling becomes. Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking down, you can even see the underground magma rolling hundreds of meters below.
The passage in the front has obviously reached the end, and it is only a dozen meters away from us.
There is heaven on one side and hell on the other. If you want to enter heaven, you must first overcome hell.
"Fat man, can you get out alive? Just watch the last trembling. Are you ready?"
"Fuck...he's a bastard...!"
Fatty Wu and I took a deep breath, feeling that the air we breathed into our lungs was hot, but we had no time to care about it at this moment.
The two of us almost used up all our last strength to jump across the channel spewing heat waves at our feet almost at the same time.
finally.
We crossed the passage full of heat waves, but we also suffered the corresponding price.
There was a crackling sound on our bodies, and we even smelled the smell of barbecue. Our bodies were in burning pain, and it felt like the skin all over our bodies had been burned.
Crossing the hot passage has exhausted our last strength. Although the exit is not far in front of us, we are no longer able to take another step.
My body was pulled by Fatty Wu and I fell down with a crash. Even though I felt extremely unwilling at this moment, everything had become a certainty.
"It's those two boys, hurry up!"
A familiar voice suddenly reached my ears, and then I felt my body being held by a pair of dry and strong hands.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw a familiar face, Chen Guishou!
…………
Fatty Wu and I were saved. The two of us lay on the cool ground for more than an hour before the heat gradually disappeared from our bodies.
Chen Guishou and the others also came in almost empty-handed, so there was no water for us to replenish.
But fortunately, the space where I was at the moment was a little damp, and I gradually became less thirsty and unbearable.
Chen Guishou, Liu Tingting and Gouzi, the three of them didn't look very good either. They were all in tatters and even had some wounds.
Although I don't know what they encountered in the other tomb passage, they obviously escaped death.
"Here, there's only so much left. I originally saved it for washing my face. Forget it, take it and drink it!"
Liu Tingting walked up to me. She was dirty, her clothes had many holes, and her exposed skin was stained with bloodshot eyes.
She reached out and reluctantly handed the remaining sip of water to me.
At that moment, I looked at the unkempt woman in front of me, and a trace of warmth suddenly rose in my heart. I felt that she was not that annoying after all.
There is only one sip of water, which cannot solve the problem of hunger and thirst at all, but it can still moisturize the chapped lips.
I just took a small sip and handed the rest to Fatty Wu.
Fatty Wu took the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. He even stuck his tongue into the mouth of the bottle and licked up every last drop of water.
Fatty Wu and I both had varying degrees of burns on our bodies, but luckily it wasn't too serious. After applying some burn medicine, it was almost nothing serious.
After some simple medical treatment for my body, I finally noticed the environment we were in at the moment.
At this moment, we are still in the tomb passage, which is no different from before. There are still oil lamps on the wall with a faint light.
Liu Tingting saw me looking at the oil lamp on the wall of the tomb, and hurriedly reminded me not to look.
I nodded and looked at Liu Tingting, and found that her face turned red. I really didn't know what she was thinking.
boom!
I was trying to figure out what was going on in Liu Tingting's mind.
Suddenly there was a gunshot, and I looked down and found a crater suddenly appearing less than an inch from my feet.
The next moment, five or six figures appeared directly in front of me. They were armed with live ammunition, and the leader was pointing a pistol at me.
"Lou Tianguan! You're not dead!"
Lou Tianguan squinted at Chen Guishou and sneered: "Old guy, you're not dead yet, how could I die? I'm still counting on you to find the treasures in the Western Han Dynasty tomb for me!"
Leaving Lou Tianguan aside, there are only five people left in his team, and one or two of them are injured. It seems that Lou Tianguan also suffered a lot of casualties before he managed to reach here. .
Although there are only five people left, they all have deadly weapons in their hands. How can we who are holding short knives and bare hands not be able to deal with them.
The five men pointed their guns at us respectively, and once again forced us to lead the way.
Fatty Wu walked a little slower, probably because of the injury on his buttocks and his physical weakness, but he never expected to find a hard kick from one of Lou Tianguan's men.
That kick was so powerful that Fatty Wu staggered for a while and almost fell to the ground.
But after stumbling for a while, Fatty Wu dropped the backpack he was carrying.
After the backpack landed on the bluestone ground, it made a crisp sound, which immediately attracted the attention of the subordinate.
The backpack that Fatty Wu was carrying was different from the rest of us. It was in the shape of a long tube and could fit anything one meter away.
The subordinate picked up the backpack from the ground, lifted it in his hand, and felt the weight of it. Immediately, a light flashed before his eyes, and he hurriedly picked up the backpack and ran to Lou Tianguan.
"Open!"
After Lou Tianguan spoke, the subordinate reached out and opened the backpack.
From the backpack, the subordinate first took out a high-quality bronze sword, and then grabbed a handful of bronze arrowheads, and even the buckles on the corpse's leather armor were installed in it.
These things may be good things in the eyes of Fatty Wu, but in the eyes of a big thief like Lou Tianguan, they are not worth mentioning at all, so he did not even take a look at these things.
"Boss, look, there seems to be a glowing stone in this backpack!"
As he spoke, the subordinate reached out from his backpack and took out a luminous stone that was similar in shape to a pebble and handed it to Lou Tianguan's hand.
I just took one look at it and immediately recognized where it came from. I suddenly looked at Fatty Wu beside me.
Fatty Wu gave me a helpless smile and said he was the one who put it in his backpack.
At that time, I didn't know what kind of danger the glowing stone would bring, so I thought it might be a valuable underground gem or something, so I didn't take it too seriously.
"Well, not bad. Although I don't know what kind of material it is made of, it seems to be quite valuable, so I'll accept it!"
As he spoke, Lou Tianguan stuffed the luminous stone into the trouser pocket around his waist. As for the other items, even his men looked down upon them and threw them on the ground.
Seeing that everyone wanted it, Fatty Wu deliberately went to pick up the backpack, but he didn't expect that Lou Tianguan put a gun directly to his head.
Lou Tianguan said to Chen Guishou in a cold tone: "Old guy, I know you can find the location of the tomb. Hurry up and lead the way, otherwise I will send this little fat man to the West to see the Buddha now!"
