Chapter 309 The Secret Corridor at the Bottom of the Lake

Yu Xing erased the characteristics of his voice in the big white flower, and prepared a cross talk surprise for the latecomers, so he ignored the flower and carefully walked away.

The second mountain was very big. He walked for two days in the low-visibility mountain, stopped and stopped along the way, encountered nearly a hundred vine clusters trying to attract him, and two nests of big gray worms, and finally reached the end .

At this time, he can already find many human-made traces on the ground, such as hastily discarded supplies, mixed knife marks on the ground, marks carved on trees, and wet shoe prints. The more people there are, the less time they have to cover their tracks.

I don't know if I am in danger, or I have a premonition that the tomb is in front of me, so I am too excited to take care of it so much.

After crossing a tricky corner, Yu Xing heard the sound of gurgling water. Judging from the sound of water splashes, there should be a waterfall in the mountains ahead.

Sure enough, Yu Xing brushed away the densely packed slender leaves and pocket ginkgo fruits in front of him, and the dense fog suddenly cleared, and he suddenly became enlightened.

A two-meter-wide waterfall flows out from the mountain in front. The water volume is not much, but it has formed a lake below over the years.

Yu Xing's eyes lit up, and he went to the river to observe.

I don't know how deep this lake is, the water quality is clear, and it looks like running water. A few miscellaneous fish swim in it. He stretched out his hand to fish it, and felt that the water was fine. The cool moisture soaked his wrist, which made him suffer from the weather in the mountains. The skin is soothed.

And there are no vine clusters around, and there are no other dangerous things, because on the other side of the lake, there are a few small birds with gray background and white flowers fluttering down. understand bird language.

"Hey, take a shower here, probably...no one will see it." Anyway, if conditions permit, Yu Xing doesn't want to wrong himself for wrapping himself in uncomfortable clothes. After struggling for two seconds, he takes out the shelf support from his bag He picked up a bunch of branches and set them up by the lake, then spread a layer of leaves on the branches, and lit them with a lighter.

He neatly took off his coat, T-shirt and overalls, exposing his forearms and legs covered with a thin layer of strong muscles. He washed the clothes in the lake water, dried them on the rack to warm the fire, and then looked at The lake contemplates.

Can you take off your panties?
There may be some accidents in this place, after all, he is the only one, and there is no time to react when an accident happens... Forget it, just wear it, you can only cover it dry with your body.

He also took off his vest, handled it in the same way, and slid along the lakeshore into the lake.

After this, Yu Xing's height of 1.8 meters [-] did not step to the end. He let out a sigh. Generally speaking, this kind of lake is from shallow to deep, the middle is the deepest, and the two sides gradually slope inward.

But this lake is like a water cup. The shore of the lake is like a cliff. Once you enter it, you can't see the bottom. A surface of water, moreover, this lake may have been artificially developed.

He narrowed his eyes, went back to the shore and pulled out a waterproof flashlight, sank into the water holding his breath, and turned on the flashlight to shine on the lake wall.

The aquatic plants and plankton on the lake wall cannot be faked. They are perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment without any violation. This shows that the lake was not developed recently, but a long time ago.

Yu Xing shot the light towards the bottom of the lake again, and the extremely penetrating light drove straight in, dispelling the darkness that had entrenched at the bottom of the lake for many years. Even Yu Xing's eyesight took a while to see clearly.

The bottom of the lake is about four to five meters deep from the water surface. This is a depth where people can easily drown. Yu Xing has a special constitution and can float freely in the water. , I'm afraid you need professional diving equipment, or a trained swimmer.

He didn't stay where he was, but went downstream, the school of fish gradually disappeared into darkness, and his surroundings became silent and oppressive, with only the rumble of the water in his ears.

The flashlight flickered, and finally stopped when it flashed across a small slope at the bottom of the lake.Yu Xing approached Xiaopo nimbly like a swimming fish, and then turned to Xiaopo's hidden back.

Sure enough, the flow of the surrounding water made him realize the location of the hole at the bottom of the lake, just below the small slope!

There is a deep and narrow corridor going down behind the slope, and Yu Xing's bright flashlight can't see the end, only the neat and flat side wall of the corridor can be seen.

This cannot be explained by any other reason other than man-made construction.

And besides the recent monster legends that have attracted tomb robbers, who else would spend manpower and material resources here many years ago to transform the lake and build it into a secret passage?

There is only one answer, and that is Yaodao himself!
When he built the mausoleum for himself, he left a passage leading to other locations at the bottom of the lake. The specific reason is still unclear, but this is definitely a very important discovery, and it may affect the entire tomb Palace exploration progress.

Yu Xing thought for a while, and instead of entering the channel, he swam back to the surface of the water. His things were all on the shore, and it was a pity to lose them.

He surfaced, grabbed the lake shore and took a deep breath, his slightly long hair covered his eyes wetly, which prevented him from noticing the extra things on the shore in the first place.

When he wiped his face and regained his sight, he saw a pale little face with dark eyes staring at him without blinking.

Yu Xing: "..." What the hell?

He leaned back abruptly, and only then did he see the whole picture of what was in front of him clearly.

It turned out that it was a three-dimensional paper figurine as big as a human head, with black facial features painted on the face of the paper figurine with a pure and innocent face.

Seeing Yu Xing's reaction, the paper figurine hugged Yu Xing's forearm and did not let go. The expression on his little face could change, becoming extremely aggrieved, as if Yu Xing was a bad father who abandoned his child.

"Carlos?" Yu Xing looked at the cute and coquettish paper man without a word, and couldn't understand why a man like Carlos had such a girlish ability. Then he heard the paper man's mouth not open, but came from inside. the sound of.

"San, long time no see."

Yu Xing's gaze became even weirder. He stretched out his left hand expressionlessly, pinched the paper figurine holding his right arm, brushed it and threw it far away: "Long time no see, magician, you really like to peep on other people's bathing .”

The last time he was on the boat, he had just finished taking a shower, and he accidentally stepped on a little paper man who had been standing there for an unknown amount of time at the door of the bathroom.

"Don't throw it away!" Carlos' eager and helpless voice came from the paper figurine, "I'm not a pervert, let's see what you do in the shower. Although you are handsome, I'm not interested in men, it's just a misunderstanding... ..."

Under Yu Xing's gaze, the paper figurine fell to the ground. It rolled over and looked for the direction for a long time, before running towards Yu Xing on its short legs.

While running, Carlos' voice was heard all over the place: "It's like this~ I left too many paper figurines in the mountains and forests to find you, and the power was scattered. Now I can't control them, I can only see them through their sight. The scene, and the sound transmission came over, it hugs you, not me hugging you, don't think too much~"

"You can't control the paper figurines, how can they listen to you?" Yu Xing didn't hide his suspicion.

"They are now completely acting according to the order I left when I made them. In fact, the order I gave to every paper doll is the same, that is, hide until they see you, come forward to show your presence, and then notify me." Ross's explanation had no loopholes, and the reasons he said were enough for Yu Xing to accept logically, so Yu Xing didn't pursue this further.

He watched the little paper figurine pounce on him again, clinging to him, and it was hard to imagine the scene on Carlos' side.

"So where are you? Have you entered the tomb yet?" Yu Xing pulled the paper man off again, and warned it with his eyes that if he moved again, he would tear it to pieces.

The paper figurine was honest now, and sat down on the ground, insisting on staring at Yu Xing.

"Not yet, I saw you are in Huowei Lake, right? Up from this waterfall is the range of Chongyin Mountain. After I went up with the team, I found that the terrain of Chongyin Mountain is too complicated. There are three forked roads at the beginning. We walked to the left and the middle, but it didn’t work, the end of the road was either a dead end, or there was an impenetrable trap, obviously the demon way specially set up a blindfold to prevent future tomb robbers.”

Yu Xing quietly listened to Carlos' almost detailed explanation, and understood that it was Carlos' sincerity in inviting him to join the team.

The information given for nothing is not profitable, and Yu Xing listened to it while summarizing and analyzing it.

Carlos's team entered the mountain more than three days earlier than Yu Xing's brother Sun's team, and they were faster, reaching the waterfall four days ago.

Now Yu Xing knows that this waterfall is called "Living Tail Waterfall", the lake is the Living Tail Lake, and above the waterfall is the Chongyin Mountain that everyone is looking for. It is also the first line of defense of the tomb palace in the true sense.

Carlos' team made mistakes on the left and in the middle. It took them more than a day to go back and forth each way. Now, the team is moving forward in the right fork.

If there is no accident, this should be the correct way, Carlos said, and he will come back to pick Yu Xing to go in together after confirming the location of the gate of the tomb.

Because the tomb is dangerous, more reliable companions will have more hope of survival. Carlos acts as an investigator in the team and has a lot of power to speak. He recommended San to the team leader, who is Yu Xing. The team leader has agreed to let him San, who belongs to the Weird Event Investigation Studio, came to share a piece of the pie.

"Apart from the terrain, is there any difference between Chongyin Mountain and the previous two mountains?" Yu Xing wanted to know if there were any new weird things inside.

"Yes," Carlos said, "it's very cold here, and the wind is blowing. I always feel that there are eyes staring at me, but I can't find a place. The same is true for the people in my team. In Chongyin Mountain, we can easily Driven crazy by the constant prying eyes. But that’s okay, we’re almost there, and we’ll be able to get rid of the sight.”

Hearing Carlos mention the situation on Chongyin Mountain, Yu Xing frowned.

Of the three forked roads, two of them have gone wrong. Everyone who was exploring the third road let out a tense breath, because they believed that even if the demon road did not leave a way for their grave, the workers who built the tomb Will definitely stay too.

So there must be a way to pass through, Carlos' tone has relaxed, but Yu Xing thought of the lake he was soaking in, which itself is a passage!
Carlos and his team have yet to find the entrance to the tomb, and Yu Xing has a flash of light in his mind—maybe, the one in the lake is the real gate to the tomb, and the so-called Chongyin Mountain is just a way to attract people. It's just a method of tomb robbers.

Because since the Yaodao wanted to guard against the tomb robbers of later generations, it absolutely did not give the tomb robbers a chance to choose again. It is unreasonable to choose one of the three forked roads.

If it were Yu Xing, he wouldn't put a trap at the end of the two wrong roads, he could only put a life-threatening trap, otherwise it wouldn't be a waste of this arrangement.

If this is the case, the third path taken by Carlos' team is not a guarantee that they can pass, but a path of death that lowers their vigilance!
Yu Xing was a little bit puzzled when he noticed the truth. He didn't think that Carlos couldn't find the loopholes. For the time being, he could only think that Carlos had an impure purpose for him and wanted to trick him into the right fork to kill him. , or the Chongyin Mountain had a certain influence on Carlos, disrupting part of his thinking.

"Be careful, the path you are taking now may not be the right one. If you are in danger again, come back to the Living Tail Lake. I have a new idea." Yu Xing bowed his head and said to the paper man, "Of course, If you really find out the exact location of the tomb, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Carlos' voice paused: "Do you have any new clues?"

"It's not really a clue." Yu Xing denied, pretending to be real, "It's just that I made some discoveries along the way, and maybe I can use these discoveries to find the tomb."

"Well... well, with your words, I can count as a backup. Now that I have found you, then I just need to leave a paper figure by your side to confirm the location, and I can put away the other paper figures, so that My strength will not be dragged down." Carlos laughed, "I'm still moving forward, and we'll talk about it when we meet."

After finishing speaking, the voice in the paper figurine disappeared, and the little paper figurine stood up with its short legs propped up, and suddenly pointed the back of its head at Yu Xing.

Yu Xing squinted at it, ready to see what kind of moth it was about to make, but saw a line of words suddenly appear on the back of the paper man's white head.

"Stay here and don't move around, I'll go find a tomb."

Yu Xing: "...Young man, you are a bit arrogant."

It was clearly telling him to stay at the Living Tail Lake temporarily to wait for Carlos's investigation results, but he had to use such awkward words.

He unilaterally announced that he would not listen to Carlos and wait here. He had to see what kind of danger the team that made a wrong judgment would suffer, and by the way, evaluate the strength of the new team.
