Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 29 Zongzi Eagle

"Everyone be careful!" Qi Lao said behind me.

We are all wary of the line hanging in the air above.

I was leading the way ahead, looking up from time to time, only to feel that the lines hanging in the air became more and more layered.

After climbing an unknown number of laps, the horizontal line became clear.It turns out that these lines are not as thin as imagined, they are linked together and fixed on the outside of the spiral stone steps.Looking up, there is a faint trace of the zenith at the highest point. From the zenith to our section, all are fixed with chains. No wonder I just looked up from the bottom, so densely packed.

"Tsk tsk, it turned out to be chains, why are there so many!" I clicked my tongue.

Elder Qi also said slowly: "I don't know what the purpose of this chain is, just be careful for a while. I thought the stone steps could lead to the ground, but now it seems that the top has reached the top."

Although we saw the top, we are at least hundreds of meters away from the top.

Looking at the bronze chains that appeared beside me, I had an ominous premonition in my heart.This group of Shuangjiu people are good at designing, and the bronze hanging ladders and underground slides they saw before are not useless.Now that the bronze chains are erected between the spiral stone steps, if you tell me that this is a joke, I will never believe it.

I looked back at Elder Qi who was walking behind, and asked, "Do you think we can get out this way?"

Elder Qi smiled and said, "How do you think these chains were transported here? Did they come up from below or come down from above?"

"That's right! The spiral stone steps are bottomless. If you want to carry the chains up from the bottom by walking the stone steps, it is an extremely difficult project, so these chains should be transported through a passage above. To get to this location, there must be a way up!" I just finished speaking, and then I realized another problem, "But I saw before that the place where they smelt bronze is indeed down below, so it is not ruled out that these chains came from below. Possibility of getting it up."

"You are right! They are both from the bottom up and from the top down." Qi Lao laughed.

Old Qi's words confused me.Up means up, down means down, what does it mean to be up and down again?
Seeing that I didn't understand, Elder Qi continued to ask: "Do you still remember the tomb with the stone murals before? How did the bronze whistle on the murals be transported up? In my opinion, the same is true for these bronze chains. There should be a place nearby The original lifting device, after the Shuangjiu tribe transported the chain up, it was moved here through the upper passage and fixedly connected."

Old Qi's words woke me up.The previous mural also depicted the lifting device and shaft for transporting the bronze whistle, but I just remembered it now. From this point of view, Qi Lao’s idea is indeed the most realistic.

"Taught!" I replied.

Along the way, Qi Lao's calm analysis has indeed played a key role many times. This kind of calm demeanor is probably honed in countless dangers and dangers.

Looking at the criss-crossing bronze chains on the outside of the stone steps, I couldn't help but think of the chains that fixed the bronze whistles again, but there really wasn't anything hanging around them, just connected randomly...

I tilted the light and looked upwards, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a few things squatting on the chains far above my head, and because they were too far apart, I couldn't see them clearly, but they didn't look very big.I shook it with my flashlight and asked, "What is that?"

"not good……"

I don't know if it's because the light of the flashlight stimulated them, but before Mr. Qi finished speaking, those things moved and flew towards us

"Be careful!" Qi Lao took out a dagger, held it in his hand, and shouted.

Xin Ran took out the soil gun from the bag and began to load gunpowder and marbles.I glanced over and saw that Su Heluo was also rummaging through equipment from his bag.Thinking about it, I don't really have any weapons on me, except... an umbrella?
Even if I can't beat it, I can resist it, so I took out my umbrella, stretched it open under the astonished eyes of everyone, blocked my body firmly, turned sideways and waved to Xinran, motioning her to reload under the umbrella.

In just a short while, they had already flown in front of us, and I felt the umbrella cover sink, and a beak with a sharp hook had pierced the umbrella cover, stretched in, and pecked in all directions.

I pushed the umbrella forward vigorously, turning while pushing, trying to shake off this thing.In the next second, another part of the umbrella was pecked through by a bird's beak.

I looked sideways at Qi Lao and Su Heluo who were dealing with it, only to realize that these were not ordinary birds, but vultures.

Qi Lao swung his knife forward and slashed, just in time to hit the eagle in front of him. The eagle was hit by the knife, but it didn't make any sound, turned around and flew out, circled around and hit straight at Qi Lao. past.

Su Heluo was even more embarrassed, with a shovel in one hand and a short knife in the other, waving indiscriminately to drive away the vultures in front of him.

With a sound of "chuck", a big hole was torn in the umbrella surface, and two eagle heads were stuffed in at once, and they drilled forward like crazy, and got stuck together.The two eagle heads seemed lifeless, their fur was almost gone, and if they couldn't move, they would be like dead objects.

"let go!"

With a shout of Xin Ran, I let go of the umbrella in my hand, and then there was a loud noise, and the flames shot out, and the umbrella and the eagle outside the umbrella were sprayed out together.

"This is the only umbrella I have!" Looking at the falling umbrella, I shouted.But then, I discovered a more serious problem. The gunshot just now attracted more bald eagles. Looking at the flock of eagles flying above, I took off the backpack, shook it and shouted: "What should I do? There are more and more!"

"Don't be dazed, go up and find the exit!" Qi Lao's voice came from behind, and then there was a "bang", a red light shot straight into the sky, hit the top of the sky with a "babbling", and then lay sideways Jumping out, the whole space instantly lit up.

The strange thing is that the group of vultures that swooped down just now changed direction with the ones below, and flew towards the red light.

With the brightness of the flares, we can see that the spiral stone steps above turn directly into the wall, leaving a doorway, which is only a dozen meters away from the top by visual inspection.

We speed up, two steps at a time, trotting upwards.If we can't get in the doorway before the flares burn out, we'll be in the same predicament as before...

The red light above our heads became weaker and weaker, and finally, before the light disappeared completely, we walked along the stone steps and walked around into the doorway on the wall.

"Grandpa, why did those hawks chase after the red light?" Xin Ran asked, panting heavily.

"This place is very evil, and those eagles are probably not alive. This ghost thing is just like the zongzi I met before, it is very sensitive to light and sound." Qi Lao spat on the ground and said.

If so, when I saw those two eagles just now, I felt lifeless.I didn't expect that not only dead people could be turned into zongzi, but even dead eagles could be turned into zongzi hawks. It's a bit too bizarre and absurd to think about it.

We rested for a while before getting up to observe the situation around us.After turning into the wall, the road diverged in front of him.One goes straight into the wall, while the other goes up the stone steps obliquely.It's just that the end of this stone step road has been blocked by a pile of boulders.

We seem to have no choice...
