Chapter 2796: Crossing the Tunnel
Chapter 2796: Crossing the Tunnel
Xu Ning climbed all the way forward, and everyone else looked at him worriedly.
Xu Ning didn't dare to be careless at all. Every time he stretched out his hand, he had to check everything. If he caught a suspicious bulge, he would die.
He will try to grab it with one hand first to feel it so he can make assumptions.
It seemed to be only about twenty meters wide, so it wasn't too difficult for Xu Ning.
In fact, the gap is not a straight line.
It is a winding road with an almost imperceptible arc.
The real distance is farther than twenty meters.
Because of the curvature, when climbing around corners, rocks may suddenly appear, blocking the view.
Liu Jingfeng asked in a hoarse voice: "Which one is reality?"
“We are not hallucinating because of the neurotoxins in the incense that burns with the ever-burning lamp.”
"I don't know what you saw just now. Anyway, I saw a female Ah Piao suddenly rushed over and covered my mouth and nose, making me unable to breathe."
Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but turn pale when he mentioned this matter.
If it wasn't for the answer, he would never tell this.
People tend to avoid memories that make them feel dangerous and scary.
It had been about two hours now, so Liu Jingfeng dared to say it.
"Boss, have you seen a ghost too?" Wang Jinpeng was extremely surprised.
"Yes."
"Hey, I thought it was because I was too timid to say it." Wang Jinpeng was relieved.
Apart from Lin Ran, the calmest person in the team is Liu Jingfeng.
Even he saw Ah Piao's vision, proving that Wang Jinpeng was not the only one who was afraid.
"That's why I just thought about the ghost hitting the wall." Liu Jingfeng sighed, "Illusions can also be a sharp knife sometimes."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, because if he met Ah Piao again after entering the hallucination, he would be unable to recover.
"No." Lin Ran replied, "The first half is an illusion caused by poor air quality. This place is close to the underground river, and the air is not bad."
"It won't last long though."
Lin Ran added another sentence.
In fact, what Liu Jingfeng said makes sense.
He has now taken the initiative to inhale the incense of Ecstasy. Either he will escape from the hallucination, or he will die in the hallucination.
I'm afraid there is no third way to choose.
"This is just a tunnel, how dangerous it is behind." Liu Jingfeng's eyes were full of worry.
"Yes and no." Lin Ran said, "The corridor itself is probably designed to be extremely dangerous."
"Is it to prevent tomb robbers?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
"No, their real purpose..." Lin Ran looked down.
There are countless innocent bodies buried in the surging underground river.
"The purpose of building corridors is not only to prevent outsiders from coming in, but also to...prevent people from inside from leaving."
Everyone took a breath and understood what Lin Ran meant.
Who built the corridor?
Naturally, they were the top craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. They had social status and complicated relationships. It can be said that they should be the best craftsmen before building the mausoleum.
Most craftsmen were probably very proud when they were recruited as royal craftsmen.
Completely unaware that building an imperial mausoleum is an honor, but it is also a dead end.
There must be a mechanism to control the corridor outside the tomb.
The vast majority of people cannot even reach the exit of the corridor, and will be completely lost in the incense of the corridor and die in fear.
Even if there are a few surviving craftsmen, they will still become the burial objects of the illusion before their eyes. They will step down from the steps and fall into the underground river.
This is one of the reasons why Qianling can remain secret.
All craftsmen involved in the construction work will be silenced!
In ancient times, it was commonplace for craftsmen of imperial tombs to be silenced, and it was not a new thing.
But this is the first time I have seen such a weird corridor.
Lin Ran's words woke everyone up.
"The air is starting to become thinner." Lin Ran said, "I don't know what's going on with the fuel."
"It seems that when there is less fuel, the greater the concentration of oxygen consumed during combustion."
"We need to leave faster."
It seems that as long as the mechanism is cracked, it can be passed easily.
Actually it is not.
This corridor also has a potential time setting. Once the time is exceeded, they will be in danger of hypoxia.
Combined with the Ecstasy Incense, you will probably die in fear.
at this time.
Xu Ning has reached the other end.
"Hey everyone, it's safe here, come over here!"
"I've left climbing spikes on it for you. Just follow my footprints and climb over."
Xu Ning's voice came from the other side, breaking the silence of the corridor.
Lin Ran glanced at everyone and saw that Huang Hao and A Ming were not good at sports.
They had the same idea.
"How about we go back first? Just like last time?" Huang Hao shuddered.
"No!" Lin Ran flatly refused, "You must come with us."
"Why?" Amin was puzzled.
"Because the way back has been blocked." Lin Ran said, "Don't you remember the loud noise we heard when we passed through the middle section of the corridor just now?"
"It must have been something like a rockfall that fell and blocked the way back."
"The original intention of designing this corridor is to prevent anyone from leaving. We have no choice but to move forward." Lin Ran said with a heavy tone.
So many things had happened that they had forgotten the loud noise just now.
It is impossible to go back. Only by fearing the terrifying chasm in front of you can you have a chance to survive.
"You can't see the scene below, which is actually an advantage." Lin Ran said. If he inhaled the Ecstasy incense and looked down, the height here was at least thirty meters. Just looking at it would make his legs tremble. .
However, from the perspective of ordinary people, it is just an extremely ordinary step.
There are advantages and disadvantages, and there will be no psychological burden. However, it is also possible that you will become careless during the climbing process. If you cannot control your balance, you will step directly on the steps and fall into the abyss.
"Let me remind you one last time, this is not a step, but a chasm." Lin Ran spit into the palm of his hand and came to the wall.
As Xu Ning said, some climbing nails were inserted into the wall as marks.
As long as you climb over according to the general direction of the climbing spikes, you'll be fine.
Lin Ran climbed over second, followed closely by Guan Yun.
Huang Hao and A Ming looked at each other and sighed.
Followed.
Since the focus was on climbing the wall, they could only turn off the flashlight and move forward in total darkness with the help of the weak light from the evergreen lamp.
There is always a sense of pressure crawling towards the monster's mouth.
Fortunately, everyone followed Lin Ran's advice and reached the other side without any danger.
Lin Ran looked ahead. He could leave the corridor in less than ten meters.
He turned on the flashlight.
"?"
"what is this?"
Everyone's face changed greatly.
