I grabbed the rope and slid down quickly.
The rope was so hot that a lot of the skin on my hands fell off due to the friction.
When I slid down to the ground and stepped onto the ground, I kept shaking my hands.
"When you jump up later, be sure to wrap your hands with a layer of cloth. Don't be like me, otherwise your hands will suffer."
The surface of this thick hemp rope is very rough, especially after the temperature is added, it is more like a sharp blade coated with lubricant.
There were cuts on my hands.
I took out the bandage, made sure the surrounding area was safe, and bandaged it briefly.
Then I raised my flashlight and looked ahead carefully.
This is still a stone cave, the road ahead is empty and quiet, and there is no sound.
But it was extremely strange underneath the ground, because I could clearly see streams of hot air rising upwards and drifting toward me.
"Why is there so much heat underground? It seems to be much hotter than the previous hot spring."
I don't know what's going on here.
However, for the time being, we can confirm that the following is safe and there should be no accidents.
I said hello from above.
"Come down! There's no danger down here."
After listening to my words, the two people above immediately started working.
After a while, Cui Hao was hung by a rope and slowly lowered down.
I hurriedly helped catch Cui Hao, and then gradually untied the rope from his body.
As soon as Cui Hao landed on the ground, he quickly wiped the sweat from his face.
"Isn't it too hot in here? It's like a sauna."
As he said that, he couldn't help but take off his shirt.
"It's too hot, Mr. Man. If you're considerate, I'll take off my clothes."
I nodded, but didn't stop him.
In fact, I also have plans to take off my clothes.
But thinking about the special environment underground, there might be some poisonous insects, snakes and ants.
It will be safer if you wear clothes.
But Cui Hao was already fat, and the back of his shirt was already soaked with sweat.
Most likely this guy wouldn't be able to stand it if he were left wearing clothes like this.
Cui Hao only persisted for a short while before he couldn't help but take out a dagger and cut the leg of his trousers directly from his thigh.
The original trousers suddenly turned into shorts.
Cui Hao was relieved with satisfaction.
"I'm finally comfortable. If I had known better, I would have brought a fan or something, or even carried some ice. It's too hot here."
As he spoke, he looked around curiously.
"Master Man, you are well-informed. Have you ever seen such a high temperature under any tomb?"
I shook my head and pointed forward.
"Do you feel that the environment and layout here are very similar to the previous hot springs. Although they are not exactly the same, they are similar. Maybe there are hot springs under the ground, or something else has been built. In short Your legs are inconvenient now, so some of us will help you walk later."
What I mean is that Cui Hao should follow us honestly and never run around like before.
I'm worried that this kid won't be able to move when he sees jewelry and the like.
If you encounter any danger, it will be too late to run away.
Cui Hao nodded helplessly.
"Master Xiao Man, I'm not a child anymore. Do you still need to explain this kind of thing to me again and again? Don't worry, I can handle it."
While the two of us were talking, Wang Wangyang and Zhang Xu had already grabbed the rope and slid down from above.
As soon as the two people landed on the ground, they quickly shook their hands.
"Let me go, it's too hot up here. I've worn off a big piece of my hand skin."
I nodded and called the two of them over.
I took out the ointment from my body, threw it to the two of them, and asked them to apply it on their palms.
"The burn medicine can simply soothe it and make your hands less uncomfortable."
The two of them thanked me gratefully, took the ointment and began to apply it on their hands.
Among us, Cui Hao is the one who feels most comfortable now.
While a few of us were discussing the situation here.
I suddenly heard a faint clicking sound in front of me.
I immediately knew something was wrong.
"Did you hear the sound?"
I looked at a few of them, and they nodded to me, staring ahead in confusion.
"It's so strange, and I heard that clicking sound, which sounded like footsteps. Could it be that there was someone in front of me?"
As he spoke, Wang Wangyang raised his flashlight and pointed it at the direction of the sound in front of him.
It's a pity that there is nothing there now, and there is no one there.
And since the sound just came out, it quickly disappeared without any movement.
As if everything is our illusion.
If several of us hadn't heard it, I would have suspected that I might have been too nervous and had an illusion.
At this time, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
None of us dared to speak, or even take a breath.
We stared ahead quietly, waiting for the sound to ring again.
But this time.
It was quiet all the time in front, and for five or six minutes, there was no more sound.
I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised my flashlight to shine forward.
Since the location where the flashlight shines is limited, I said hello to the three of them.
"In this case, you guys wait here for now. I'll go over and take a look at the situation. If there's anything unusual, I'll come over and notify you as soon as possible."
After saying that, I walked straight forward.
Cui Hao was worried that I wanted to follow him, but this guy was powerless and couldn't get up from the ground.
His butt was injured and he couldn't move his thighs at all. He could only rely on people to help him move forward little by little.
Cui Hao directly pushed Wang Wangyang beside him.
"You go along, otherwise if Mr. Man is in danger alone, he won't even have a helper."
Wang Wangyang nodded and was about to follow.
I shook my head imperceptibly at him, then blinked my eyes and looked at Zhang Xu who had his head lowered to the side.
Between the two of them, I relatively trust Wang Wangyang.
And I also have a general idea of the depth of his abilities. This guy's theory is greater than his practice.
In other words, he is mostly proficient in Yin and Yang hexagrams, and is not as good at Taoism and magic as we are.
So I left him with Cui Hao, so that I would feel more at ease.
Although Zhang Xu has always been timid, I still don't know the depth of his background.
I only know that his brother Zhang Ji is not weak in strength, and he is extremely fast with sword skills and daggers.
If Zhang Xu also has this ability, then it proves that this guy has been concealing his true ability since he first met us.
I'm really worried about putting a guy like this here with a person like Cui Hao who has limited mobility.
Looking at my expression, Wang Wangyang immediately understood what I meant.
He nodded at me, and then patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder.
"Zhang Xu, please go with him. I have also learned some medical skills and can help Cui Hao treat him. If his wounds worsen, I can handle them in time."
The light in Zhang Xu's eyes flashed.
He saw me, and there was a flash of uneasiness in his eyes.
But soon, Zhang Xu changed his attitude and put a smile on his face.
"No problem, I'll follow Mr. Man, and I'll gain some insights."
After saying that, Zhang Xu walked quickly to me.
"Master Xiaoman, let me help you clear the way."
I nodded and quickly asked him to move forward.
We moved forward slowly along the stone wall. I didn't dare to hand my back to Zhang Xu, so I asked him to walk side by side with me.
It was so quiet here on the way that I couldn’t help but ask Zhang Xu about his brother.
"You two are obviously twin brothers. Since you have already entered the tomb together, why don't you go together?"
After Zhang Ji was rescued by me, he ran away.
He didn't care about Zhang Xu in the cave at all, as if he didn't care about his brother's life and safety at all.
After hearing my question, Zhang Xu smiled and shook his head.
"You don't understand, the relationship between the two of us is pretty good. It's just that we have different attitudes towards certain things."
After saying that, he looked at me.
"I know that you don't have too much trust in me right now. I can see that you are all doubting my true purpose of joining your team."
Zhang Xu sighed helplessly, and then patted his chest gently.
"I just want to tell you, don't worry too much about me, and don't doubt my true purpose. I'm here just to rob tombs with you, that's all. I believe in multiple friends, multiple friends Helper, but my brother is different, he is a lone ranger."
This does make sense.
But every time Zhang Xu looked at me, he would unconsciously dodge my gaze.
It gave me a vague feeling that this guy might not be entirely telling the truth.
But now that he's already here, there's no way to drive him out.
I could only nod and pretend to believe what he said, and continued to follow Zhang Xu deeper into the passage.
We have walked forward nearly a hundred meters, but still have not reached the end.
I didn't expect that the cave here had such a large space, and Zhang Xu seemed to be quite surprised by this.
"Is the hole under the ground so big? But I think there is something strange. Where do these heat waves come from?"
I'm confused too.
We have been walking for so long, and when we touch the walls and floors, we can feel that although there is temperature on them, they are not hot.
This means that they are only heated up by the heat in the air, rather than being forced to increase the temperature here because of the temperature of the wall and ground.
So the temperature does not come from the walls and ground, but from in front of us.
What kind of place can produce such a huge heat wave?
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
"We won't run into the volcano, right?"
