Chapter 1273: Underground Tower
Lao Hei said: "Then we have to leave the ancient tomb. This is the road we can't avoid."
"You are so experienced, but you can tell us, what should we do if we really encounter a big snake?" Now is the final combat meeting.
What Lao Hei said makes sense. They can't be locked up here forever, and they have to find a way to leave.
Lao Hei said lightly: "There is only one way."
"What?" Wang Jinpeng rubbed his hands, but he didn't expect that Lao Hei really had a unique secret for dealing with snakes.
As a result, Lao Hei's answer surprised him.
"Of course he ran away." Lao Hei said, "For such a huge snake, our weapons have no way of penetrating its skin. Unless we have weapons such as pistols, hitting it within seven inches may be effective."
Lao Hei was already confident about the previous battle.
With their current weapons, even if a snake comes down and is beaten by them, it will probably take a long time to kill it.
"Can you run away?" Lin Ran asked, recalling the speed of the snake. Racing with it in a narrow tunnel was extremely irrational behavior.
Now was a critical moment of life and death, and Lin Ran had to weigh it.
"Of course, if you really encounter it, there is another way."
"Hey, Lao Hei, if you have something to say, can you finish it all at once?" Wang Jinpeng thought Lao Hei was joking with them and was immediately sweating.
He was still wondering why snake catching experts couldn't do anything about the snake.
Lao Hei was also unambiguous and said directly: "Snakes are not like other creatures that can chew prey directly and swallow it into their bellies. When snakes eat, they often need to dislocate their jaws first and then swallow the prey into their bellies. , the passion is slowly digested.”
Therefore, the advice given by Lao Hei is.
Abandon the car to save handsome.
As long as one person is willing to stay behind, the others can leave safely.
And it will be safe here for quite some time.
His suggestion made Wang Jinpeng break into a cold sweat: "Let's forget it."
"Let's go." Lao Hei pushed away the stone slab and then turned over to the ground.
The others followed him and climbed inside the palace.
After they left the palace, they did not go in the direction of the maze, but to the other side.
Before setting off, everyone checked their equipment and took their weapons in hand.
This side is mainly filled with private houses. The houses are low and face one direction, so this is not a lost city.
They walked down the street, fearing at first that it would be a dead end.
Unexpectedly, after walking for more than ten minutes, we did arrive in front of a cave.
However, there is a ladder here.
The position of the stairs is a stone door. The stone door was pushed to the ground, and it did not seem to have collapsed naturally.
This discovery surprised them.
"Isn't Liu Yi fake?" Lin Ran was also confused.
Others did not take Liu Yi seriously, regardless of whether he was an illusion or a real person. He was not a member of his own team. He had his own destiny in life and death.
Wang Jinpeng immediately took action, holding a shovel and walking in front of the team, taking the lead into the steps.
This long ladder shows a spiral upward trend.
Even the chatty Wang Jinpeng remained silent. He was not sure whether there was anyone else in the tunnel.
The stone door on the ground showed obvious signs of being knocked down.
This also means that someone has come down this ladder before, but they don’t know the specific time.
Lin Ran knelt down and took a look just now. The stone door was already covered with dust.
It took a while for the stone gate to collapse, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
It shouldn't be Liu Yi and his father who pushed him away.
But he still had an uneasy premonition in his heart. He felt that if he kept going up, he would go to a place he had never seen before, which would definitely contain danger.
Fortunately, they were all experienced native masters, and all of them behaved extremely calmly.
Wang Jinpeng walked in front of the team with a flashlight, looking at the steps under his feet from time to time.
They were also reminded which steps were loose.
With him clearing the way in front, the people behind felt a lot more at ease.
After walking up about 100 steps, I encountered no threats.
They climbed onto a platform.
There are still stairs going up, but after climbing for so long, they already feel a little tired.
He found a seat against the wall and sat down.
"Why are there such tall buildings underground?" Wang Jinpeng turned over his clothes, and a stream of sweat steam floated out from inside, revealing the unpleasant smell of sweat in the closed environment.
No one cared. Lao Hei glanced around and said, "It's better to say it's a tower than a building."
He pointed to the room, which was a circular platform with walls on all sides.
If there were windows in the wall, then from their position, they could have a panoramic view of the underground city.
Wang Jinpeng teased Lao Hei for being quite imaginative.
However, Lin Ran felt that what he said made sense.
He also came to the south position, stood in his position, and closed his eyes.
Imagining that if there was indeed an opening here, they could see the entire underground city.
It's like being among the landmarks of a big city, overlooking the streets.
Speaking of which, in this underground city, the houses where civilians live are made of materials such as earth and reeds.
This kind of house was common in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
At that time, it was a critical period for mankind to move from primitive society to slave society. The houses where slaves lived often had only straw to protect them from the rain, and the living environment was no better than that of livestock.
Although the residents in the city lived in seemingly simple houses, they had more or less their own property and would not become appendages of the slave owners.
Lin Ran suddenly remembered something.
If it is really an ancient tomb from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, why are there no burials?
Sacrificial burial is a common and cruel phenomenon in slave society. After the slave owner dies, he is worried that he will have no one to take care of him, so he will kill all the slaves and leave only some for his heirs.
Therefore, ancient tombs unearthed during this period will contain a large number of skeletons.
Looking back carefully, the only skeleton they saw was the "giant" pieced together from corpses in the palace.
Even if they were the incarnations of slaves, their number was far less than that of royal slaves.
In that era, who else could build houses with stone and own bronzes besides the royal family?
After a brief rest, they continued climbing the stairs.
Soon we came to the second platform. The space here was larger than the one below.
"What will be on the top of the tower? Could it really be the entrance to the ancient tomb?" Lao Hei looked up at the steps.
From this level, the steps become steeper and the loops become larger.
Looking from below, it looks like a tower reaching the sky.
However, are stairs of this width really meant for humans to walk on?
