Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 820 The dry truth

Seeing his surprised look, Wang Jinpeng touched his head in confusion.

"Does he want to drain the river?"

This is a flowing river. Although the flow rate is very slow, it cannot be completely dried up unless the river bed is changed.

After his reminder, Liu Jingfeng also had an idea.

"Brother Lin, do you mean that the sinking and floating bridge was the original location of the river bed?"

"That's right." Lin Ran nodded, "I went down to the bottom of the Sinking and Floating Bridge, and I found that there used to be a river there, but it just dried up."

It now appears that the craftsmen built the tomb next to the underground river and then redirected the underground river to flow this way, thus completely covering the tomb door.

What a genius design!

Lin Ran said: "The monster we killed just now entered and exited the tomb through the river."

This makes everything clear. Just because it is living water, there must be microorganisms in it. I am afraid that is the food for the monster to survive.

Others suddenly understood after his explanation.

They were completely convinced by such careful reasoning.

"I'm just talking about how they built a gate in the water. Even if they build a dam, they have to block the water first." Wang Jinpeng laughed and patted Lin Ran on the shoulder: "Brother Lin is so smart. I can think of it all.”

Now that they had this idea, what they had to do now was to return to the Sinking and Floating Bridge.

There must be a connection underneath. The power of nature is infinite. As long as the artificial obstruction is destroyed, the water flow will return to its original position.

The group of people turned back to the Sunken and Floating Bridge, and under the leadership of Lao Hei, they arrived at the bottom of the river together.

Because they knew the approximate height in advance and a climbing rope was enough, they didn’t worry about the way back.

"Everyone, be careful!" Lin Ran reminded, "It's not yet certain whether there is only one monster."

If one more one comes, they'll be doomed.

Thinking of the monster just now, everyone felt their scalps numb. Death is not terrible. Being chewed by monsters after death and finally excreted in feces is a despairing thing.

Wang Jinpeng held the machete and looked around alertly.

They walked carefully side by side. Due to the cliffs and underground rivers, they had confirmed that there was sufficient oxygen inside. They chose to use torches for lighting.

While squatting, Lin Ran found some blood stains and some pieces of clothing.

He recognized it at a glance as the relics of the explorer who followed Miyamoto into the tomb yesterday.

"These guys stole Chinese cultural relics and have now become part of China." Lin Ran said with a slightly mocking tone.

Following the blood stains and debris, they quickly found a cave entrance.

The cave is very high, a full five meters.

Walking inside, you can hear the clear sound of water flowing.

Crash, crash, crash. Hearing this sound in the tomb made me feel at ease.

"Mr. Lin, you are so amazing that you can find all these things." Lao Hei admired sincerely.

In front of them, a huge stone dam appeared, blocking the river.

Lin Ran increasingly admired the strength of the craftsmen when building embankments in a complex environment.

As long as the stone dam can be destroyed, the river can drop at least six or seven meters. Even if it does not completely dry up, it will be enough for them to explore.

Wang Jinpeng hit the stone dam with a shovel and waved his hand: "The stone dam is not easy to destroy."

Even though he was extremely powerful, he knew very well that he was nothing compared to the forces of nature.

This is a dike used to block the river bed. It cannot be broken open without explosives.

Lin Ran said: "Let's walk along the river and see if we can find the switch."

"Switch?" Wang Jinpeng's mouth turned into an "O" shape and he hurriedly asked: "Can this dam still have a mechanism?"

"Of course, whether it is a floating bridge or a mausoleum at the bottom of the river, they all need to be built. If they can't switch by themselves, they can't have diving equipment, right?"

The difficulty of underwater operations is more than ten times that of normal construction.

Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there would be such a great tomb designer in ancient China, who was proficient in various mechanical techniques."

Others were noncommittal, but everyone agreed with his idea.

Originally, Lin Ran was worried that after the construction of the tomb passage was completed, the mechanism of the dam would be destroyed.

With their work attitude, it is very possible for them to do such a thing.

Fortunately, they walked a little further and saw a round stone.

In the tomb chamber, the round stones look extremely abrupt.

Everyone stopped and waited for Lin Ran to give the order.

Lin Ran took a flashlight and looked around. There were many arrows and some gravel on the ground.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that someone has helped us step on all the traps."

"Who?" Wang Jinpeng asked, looking at Lin Ran who was walking calmly.

"Of course it's the guy you killed with the gun." Liu Jingfeng was the first to react. If the monster traveled back and forth between the underground river and the dry river for a long time, it would definitely have to trigger the mechanism.

Lin Ran boldly walked forward and came to the stone ball.

He studied the stone ball, stuck deep in the earth.

At Lin Ran's signal, they began to push the stone ball and push it out of the soil.

But he couldn't control the movement of the ball at all, so he had to let it fall into the water.

The moment the ball bounced, the embankment seemed to have lost traction and was washed away by the water.

The river surged toward the dry river.

"Let's go quickly." Lin Ran shouted.

Just before they climbed onto the cliff, the river below was completely flooded.

This is the power of nature, which is more terrifying than Lin Ran imagined. In less than 2 minutes, the river below returned to its original appearance.

"A small ball like that just now can actually hold down the entire embankment?" If Lao Hei hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the ball just now had such quality.

"It's not entirely dependent on the stone ball. There must be a mechanism underneath." Lin Ran replied, "What the ball presses is actually a switch. The internal structure is nested with each other through complex mechanical structures to block the flow of the river."

It's just that it has not been repaired for such a long time, but it is still functioning. It can only be described as miraculous.

Because the river water returned to its original path, the water level in the underground river also dropped rapidly.

When Lin Ran and his party came back, the water level was only up to the knees and had reached equilibrium.

But at this level, they can start exploring.

Wang Jinpeng went down first and tied up his trousers.

It was still more than April, and it was a bit cold on the mountain. He took a breath of cold air.

But then he said: "The water seems to be fine."

Then raise the light and illuminate the river bed.

The upper part of the river is very rough, but the lower part has been washed smooth.

On the stone wall on their side, there was a blocked iron door.

The outside of the iron door has rusted, but it is still very strong.

"found it!"
