Chapter 48: Jumping into the waterway
The water flowed away quickly, revealing the bottom of the strange room. The water was covered with barnacles, which were much thicker than the rotten wood around it. It was layered one by one, and the bottom of the room seemed to be rotten coral.
The fat man put the bronze basin aside. I saw that countless pieces of our body had been cut, especially the soles of our feet. Only then did I feel the severe pain, and blood flowed along the barnacle to the low-lying area at the bottom.
The oil bottle pulled up a bronze ring, which seemed to drive the valve at the bottom and drain the water. When I looked carefully, I could see that there were many other items in the barnacle, which were already tied into the shell by the barnacle, including porcelain, decaying bronze, and many of them were bronze rings.
It looks like a burial object, and it should still belong to the tomb of the King of South China Sea, but I don’t know where it is.
Just now, we had climbed more than 1,400 meters away, which was only one and a half miles away. Logically, we had already climbed out of the tomb of the King of South China Sea. The King of South China Sea is a minority king, and the ancient tomb cannot be that big. Even if this place is part of the tomb of the King of South China Sea, it should be a burial pit.
All the water in the ground flowed out. I saw the "people" that the man named Mon Oil Bottle had just killed. I wanted to take a closer look, but was kicked by Mon Oil Bottle, and the thing rushed down instantly.
"Look at it." I didn't stop it, "Let me study it."
Mon Oil Bottle glanced at me: "You can't see the living things here."
"Why?"
He pointed to the fat man's eyes.
Under the green light, I saw that the iris of the fat man's eyes were green, but they looked extremely bright. I felt something was wrong. When I looked closer, I saw that there was something strange on their eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"You've been hallucinated, right?" Menyouping asked me, and I nodded.
"Go out and explain to you, we have to rely on you now. Now you can only see the key things."
I was confused: "Why?"
"Because what we see is different from what you see. I already know who built this place. We have to return to the original tomb passage right away."
"Why?" I continued to be confused.
"We can't get out after the candle is burned. We have to find Liu Sang, otherwise we won't find what you want."
Although I still don’t understand, I was so scared that he said so many things in one breath. He said so many things, which means we are really going to be finished.
The fat man said on the side: "What are you talking about?"
The oil bottle: "Go!"
Before I could react, the oil bottle had already jumped into the sewer and shouted: "Down!"
The fat man looked surprised: "What's wrong with me? I took the wrong medicine."
I scratched my hair and thought to myself, forget it, let's go, and jumped down. Below is a deep well with a diameter of about five meters. There are countless stone beams in the well, and there are some barnacles on the walls and stone beams. The oil bottle fell on a beam three meters below. Under the oil bottle, I held me up and pulled me up the beam. The fat man jumped down with a bronze basin. The two of me and I clamped his armpits and dragged him onto the beam.
Our feet were very painful, and all the pain came back during this jump, which made me grin. Before we stood up, the oil bottle jumped immediately. He took care of our physical fitness and only jumped one stone beam at a time. We followed him all the way in the green light, and soon saw the pool at the bottom. At this time, the oil bottle was almost dying. The oil bottle squatted down on the last beam and looked at the candles. There were still a lot of them.
The oil bottle took a deep breath, jumped into the water, and reached the corner of his neck. The fat man carefully threw the bronze basin and the oil bottle caught it. Then, the fat man and I jumped down.
Three people leaned out of the water, and I saw that there were passages on both sides of the pool. It seemed that this was the main drainage channel, but the water did not flow.
The drainage channel was very simple and was made of stone bricks. The mud oil bottle asked me, "Look carefully, what did you see?"
"Can't you see it?"
"We can't see it." said the fat man.
I don't understand, but I still looked around as the meaning of the oil bottle. The surroundings were very ordinary, and there was no difference between the many drainage channels we had experienced before. I looked at it for three times and it was under a lot of pressure, but I couldn't see anything.
"No, I can't see it either."
"Can see." Menyoubo said.
I took a deep breath and looked carefully, and saw a person standing in the water in the darkness shining out from the green light.
The man's head was not exposed. I thought it was the corpse just now, but after careful reading, I found that it was not. The man was covered in black.
