Huhu~
Although the grotto was widened by explosives, it was only as big as the mouth of a jar. They still couldn't bend down and walk, so they could only kneel on the ground and slowly walk out.
The knees must not be as good as the feet, and the effort they expend when crawling is several times that of usual. No one was seen talking in the tunnel, only heavy breathing could be heard, as if they were fighting for the only air left in the cave.
Yue Guanchao hurried forward with a flashlight in his hand. When he saw that everyone had walked several meters and still couldn't find the exit, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He asked Ma Chang in front: "Ma Chang, how thick was the tomb wall when you went out?"
Everyone was exhausted from climbing. When they heard Yue Guanchao's question, they all stopped where they were to take a breather.
"My benefactor, I haven't calculated the thickness of the tomb wall. Anyway, when I walked out of the cave, the hemp rope had been used up. After removing the part left outside, it must be eight or nine meters."
"Eight or nine meters, is this still a wall? What is the difference between this thing and a mountain of earth~"
When Yue Erpao heard that the tomb wall was eight or nine meters thick, he did not hide his shock at all.
Mr. Cat was not very surprised by this, and he gasped and said:
"What does this mean? Even the ancient city walls had to be several meters thick. The nobles' tomb walls had to be built even thicker for fear of being stolen. What's more, like A Yin Zun, they filled the walls of their own tombs with quicksand. Once the tomb walls were Once the wall is dug, the quicksand will definitely swallow up the tomb robbers. The tomb wall in front of you is eight meters thick, which can only be regarded as quite satisfactory among ancient tombs. The tomb with the thickest wall is the underground palace of the First Emperor, but no one has ever discovered this. place."
"My dear, we have only walked about four or five meters, and there is still some distance to go. When we get out of the cave, we will have to be surprised again. This is where we are going!"
Ma Chang's words aroused everyone's curiosity. He has been saying that there is something strange outside the cave since just now. Everyone thought about this, and the pace of kneeling continued to increase. They followed Ma Chang for a few meters and finally saw the cold wind coming over. Blow more and more.
As they walked outside, the entrance to the cave became wider and wider, and they were gradually able to stand up. Everyone stood at the exit of the cave and looked around with flashlights, and couldn't help but gasp.
There was a pitch-black abyss in front of them, with only a suspension bridge about a hundred meters long connecting the entrance to the tomb. The other side was hidden in the darkness and was completely invisible. Only the cable bridge could be seen extending from a high place to connect their direction.
Yue Guanchao looked at the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge had been supported outside the tomb wall for nearly a thousand years and had long since become decayed. The slightest disturbance would shake off the rust. Only four black iron chains were left on the bridge deck in parallel rows, firmly holding up the mottled and broken debris. The rotten wooden boards and the left and right handrails are covered with dead vines and moss, as if there were several dirty rags stuck to the railings, which makes people feel sick after looking at them.
Song Siyuan took this opportunity to look into the abyss with a flashlight. The beam of light was like a sword, slashing straight down and never reaching the end. She looked around with doubts in her eyes: "What on earth is this place? Why did Yin Zun leave his exit here?" "
"Don't worry about this for now. When I entered the cave, the underground flood had already reached under the pavilion. We have to get there quickly."
Yue Guanchao knew how small the cave was. Once the underground spring burst out, it would be powerful enough to push everyone down into the abyss. What he was afraid of was also frightening to everyone, so he had no choice but to urge everyone to step onto the rope bridge as soon as possible.
Everyone looked at the bridge. Apart from its age, the rotten wooden boards alone were enough to scare people. Mr. Cat picked up a piece of gravel and threw it into the bridge board.
Crunch~
The moment the stone was thrown onto the bridge, the bridge fell into the abyss like a cracked pancake.
Everyone saw this scene, and it made everyone gasp. If Master Cat hadn't tried the bridge plan in advance just now, he would have walked on regardless, but now he has gone to report to the Lord of Hell. Thinking about it carefully , but they did not dare to go forward.
"Brother-in-law, the bridge plank has been soaked in ruins. It won't work for us to walk on the bridge deck. I thought of a crude way." Geda paused and continued to explain: "We can tie the flying tiger's claws to the rope and grab the Go up and down the rope, and as long as you keep your balance, you will be able to pass."
"Is this possible?"
"Whether it's feasible or not, I'll go over and try it first and then I'll know."
Geda acted resolutely and did what he said. He took out the flying tiger claw and tied a knot on the rope that could move forward and backward. Then he stepped on the chain and grabbed the chain, and walked slowly towards the other side.
Song Siyuan wanted to know if this would work, so she used a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings for him. When the light could no longer find him, Geda's figure clearly disappeared into the darkness on the opposite side, and was no longer traceable.
"Geda, Geda, are you still there?"
Song Siyuan's voice resounded through the deep valley, and there was no echo from the other side.
"Could it be... um~"
Before Yue Erpao finished speaking, Yue Guanchao quickly blocked his mouth.
"It's not necessarily what happened, it's probably that you couldn't hear it."
Before he finished speaking, a white light lit up in the darkness and chaos on the other side. It was Geda's flashlight. When everyone saw that he was still alive, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
"It's doable. Let's see how much rope we have!"
Everyone groped for a while and found that the hemp rope that Yu Bo brought had been used and he no longer had it in his hand. Except for Song Siyuan and Yue Guanchao, only Mr. Mao was left with the rope.
"There are only three ropes. There are six or seven of us, so we can only share three hemp ropes. It's a bit short. At least we can all get through. Let's go."
