Chapter 1821: Goodbye Captain Chen
Lin Ran's words were shocking, and everyone else was shocked.
Wang Jinpeng immediately objected: "Brother Lin, let's not talk about whether we can go back. Isn't the underground river their base? If we go there, we will die."
Lin Ran gave the order directly: "Just follow me."
He didn't want to abandon any of his companions.
Although the others had doubts in their hearts, out of trust in Lin Ran, they still followed Lin Ran on a long detour and returned to the dark river again.
Thinking of the weird giant frog made the hairs crawl on their bodies.
"Brother Lin, we are back, what should we do next?"
Lin Ran stood leaning against a stone, thinking about what to do next.
"Without the underground river, we can't judge the direction at all." Lin Ran said, "We were probably circling in the woods just now. If we continue to stay, we will starve to death even if we are not overtaken by frogs. "
Only then did Lin Ran explain the reason.
The others nodded, Lin Ran's idea was correct.
They really feel physically exhausted now.
"But I haven't figured out what to do next." Lin Ran said, "Just wait for me."
Lin Ran closed his eyes, thinking that there were two possibilities in this underground world.
The first is that it is indeed Shao Ye's tomb, but it just happened to be built in an underground world. After the bottom tomb collapsed, it naturally fell here.
This situation means that this is a naturally existing underground world and has nothing to do with Shao Ye's tomb.
The second situation is that this is also a part of the tomb, but the owner of the tomb is not Shao Ye.
It is absolutely impossible for a fourth-grade court official to achieve this level.
The second speculation mainly comes from the formation of the Seventh Reincarnation Formation.
As long as the people who built ancient tombs in ancient times were not fools, it was impossible to build a tomb of the Six Evils.
Living towards death is a kind of gossip thought.
The ancients believed this very much, and unless they hated the tomb owner extremely, they would never help him build it in this form.
Moreover, the ancients did not start building ancient tombs after the death of the person. Instead, the tomb owners hired people to build them while they were still alive.
Thinking about it this way, the first possibility is not very likely.
Is it such a coincidence to dig ancient tombs?
The more Lin Ran thought about it, the more he felt confused. If it was an artificial tomb, there would probably be an exit, but if it was a natural cave, whether there would be an exit is another matter.
Although the underground river definitely means there is a passage, but when they think about the large number of strange frogs under the water, no one dares to say that they can swim across it.
"The possibility of a natural underground world is actually higher."
After all, no one would want to build a virgin forest inside an ancient tomb.
If it is a natural underground cave, it should at least have an entrance and not be closed.
As long as we find this opening, we can leave here.
The reason why he asked everyone to return to the underground river was because he noticed that this was a real underground river, not stagnant water.
The flowing river water proves that it is connected with the external river basin.
Moreover, he has not heard of strange frogs in Huizhou, which may mean that there is a natural barrier at the junction of the river.
Otherwise there is no way to explain it.
Lin Ran then said to them: "Following the underground river, we can definitely find a way to the outside world, but there are weird frogs in the river, so we can't go directly into the river.
"While we haven't encountered them now, let's go downstream along the underground river. Maybe we can find a way out." Lin Ran was not sure.
But no matter at any time, as the spiritual leader of the team, you must keep your teammates will to survive and never give up.
The others also understood in their hearts, nodded and followed Lin Ran.
Anyway, instead of waiting to die, it is better to hold the hope of survival in your own hands.
After walking forward for a while, Wang Jinpeng suddenly stopped.
He looked back with a solemn expression and asked, "Have you heard any strange sounds?"
They were all in a hurry and didn't pay attention to their surroundings.
But after hearing his words, they all stopped.
Sure enough, among the sound of the gurgling river, I heard a little noise.
It's footsteps.
Everyone held their breath, widened their eyes, and looked ahead.
The footsteps came from that direction.
"What should we do now?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
The sound of footsteps is not a normal thing in the ancient tombs. Everything looks very weird.
Lin Ran thought for a moment and then said, "It sounds like it's just a person's footsteps, so don't worry. If it's a human, you should be able to deal with it."
Xu Ning frowned: "It's okay if it's a human being, but..."
He is still afraid of supernatural phenomena in his heart.
Lin Ran smiled and said: "It should be a human being, or a human-like creature."
It is impossible for ghosts and other spirits to make footsteps.
If that's the case, they have nothing to fear.
So they quickened their pace and moved forward.
They all held their breath, and sure enough, just around the corner ahead, they saw a shambling man, carrying a backpack, walking hard.
Because he felt the light of a flashlight behind him, the man immediately turned his head.
Under the light of the flashlight, they finally saw the figure clearly.
It turned out to be Captain Chen!
Captain Chen's eyes were blinded by the flashlight, but when he heard Lin Ran's voice, he became very excited and trotted towards them.
"Stop!" Xu Ning stood in front with a gold-touching dagger. They encountered a lot of strange things in the ancient tombs, and there were many creatures disguised as companions, so he did not dare to believe Captain Chen directly.
On the contrary, Lin Ran felt that this possibility was not high, and asked tentatively: "Captain Chen, where is your camera?"
"Camera? How can you be in the mood to take care of a camera at this time?" Captain Chen had a wry smile on his face.
"Ask you a question and answer it." Wang Jinpeng said sternly.
Captain Chen was quite arrogant outside, but after walking in the darkness for so long, he was almost scared out of his mind.
After being scolded by Wang Jinpeng, he immediately said: "I have arranged for someone to take out the camera. It is the property of the archaeological team. What do you want the camera for?"
After hearing this answer, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "Nothing, we just want to test whether you are a real person?"
Captain Chen looked confused: "What real person? Could there be ghosts?"
He is a staunch materialist.
But speaking of it, when the ancient tomb collapsed, Lin Ran and the others were not the only ones who fell from it.
Fortunately, several of them landed together.
Captain Chen and his two men disappeared without a trace.
