Chapter 74: Escape from the Dead

I gritted my teeth and persevered, but after all, we were floating in the water and there was no support point around, so we could not rely on the force. Soon I felt my body involuntarily beginning to move towards the stone gate.

I suddenly became panicked. I reached out to try to grab something, but there was only the invisible water and the slippery tomb wall. I could only watch as I drifted away from the turbulent stone door.

I realized that it was likely that there would be a dizzy, bumpy drifting experience below, so I hurriedly poked my head out, took a deep breath, and prepared to be rolled into the water flow.

I reached out and stuffed the flashlight into my pocket. These flashlights were waterproof and should not be a big problem. As soon as my flashlight was turned off, my eyes immediately fell into darkness, but I could still see the light from one or two flashlights shaking, which made me know that I was not alone.

I originally wanted to ask about their situation, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I was poured with a few sips of water. I quickly closed my mouth.

The darkness around me made it impossible for me to see the situation next to me. Suddenly, my hand touched a hard place. I reached out and grabbed it, and immediately felt that it was the tomb wall, and it seemed to be the corner of the tomb wall to the door. I hurriedly grabbed it with my hands, trying to prevent myself from being swept into the door by the water flow.

But this situation is very physically exhausting. I don’t know how long I can hold on, but I can feel that the water level is falling. I think as long as I hold on, I should find a chance to breathe. At this moment, with the flashlight that I don’t know who is shaking, I seemed to see a rushing from the water. I was stunned, but before I could react, I suddenly felt one of my legs being pulled by something.

I was startled by the sudden situation, and almost lost my hand. I suddenly felt my hair standing up all over my body, and my legs immediately froze. What was the one who grabbed me, Zongzi? Water ghost? Or the earth dragon? Cold sweat had already oozed my forehead, and I didn't dare to continue thinking. My hands couldn't move, and my lower body was completely defenseless. If this thing bite into the vital place, I'm not married yet!

While I was thinking about it, I carefully shook the leg. Since my hands were not very firm, I didn't dare to do it too much, otherwise, I would probably shake myself down.

But the thing that grabbed my legs was quite strong and tight, and I couldn't shake it off for a while. I wanted to look back, but the straightening posture of my arms was already very difficult and I couldn't turn my head at all.

And at this moment, the thing that grabbed me actually grabbed my legs and climbed upward little by little. Now that I was almost grabbing the base of my thighs, I was so anxious that I opened my mouth and shouted: "Master! There is a water ghost holding my legs! Help!"

At this time, there was a lot of noise around me, the sound of water rushing to the stone gate and the sound of water flowing into the tomb chamber on the right. These sounds echoed in the tomb chamber again, and my shouting was sandwiched in it. I don’t know if it attracted the attention of others, so I opened my mouth and shouted again: “Help! There is a water ghost…”

Before I could finish my shouting, I suddenly heard a voice behind me: "Don't..." Then there was a gurgling sound of bubbles, and then the sound rang again, "Don't shout..." The sound sank into the water again, and soon I heard the sound of water splashing behind me, "It's me..."

I suddenly heard who it was. It was Lantern Festival! I cursed: "What are you doing? Why are you holding my thighs? You're letting go quickly!"

In response to me, Yuanxiao not only did not let go, but also rushed forward, grabbed the backpack on my shoulder, coughed a few sips of water, and said, "Damn! I'm so drunk! You're not loyal, are you embarrassed to refuse to save me when I see you? I was almost rolled down by the water just now, and I grabbed one leg with a casual grasp. I didn't expect it to be yours. You let me let go now, isn't this putting me in danger!"

I gritted my teeth and insisted, "You, if you don't let go now, you'll put both of us in danger!" Seeing me like this, Yuanxiao knew that I was not a joke, so she hurriedly said, "Don't let go, hold on, I'll find a way now!"

I didn't think that Yuanxiao really let go. I went to see the two shaking flashlights just now. I didn't know which two of them were Wen Mo, Uncle Second and Zhou Chengzhong. But no matter who they were, they were much more capable than me. I hope that if possible, they could come and help me.

I took a deep breath and was about to ask for help loudly, but unexpectedly, the two flashlights shook and all sank into the water. My heart also sank, and I quickly shouted: "Hey! Uncle Second! Wen Mo! Brother Cheng! Who are you here? Help us!" The response to me was the sound of water.

Lantern Festival patted me, "Stop shouting, they may have been caught in."

I suddenly felt lonely and felt that I had reached my limit. The fingers of both hands were already tickle. I tried my best to say to Yuanxiao: "Then find a way quickly, otherwise..." Before I finished speaking, I felt my fingers loose. Yuanxiao and I screamed and were swept into the turbulent water flow.

I was blown around by the water flow, and then hit something heavily. I didn't care about the pain and floated upwards with all my might. After I rushed to the water, I took a few breaths. Then I shouted the other people's names, but there was no response.

It was pitch black all around. I wanted to reach out to get the flashlight in my pocket, but I couldn't help but feel that I suddenly hit the wall. I felt a sharp pain in my forehead and then I lost consciousness...

When I woke up again, I found myself still in the water and I could vaguely hear someone talking. My head buzzed and it was about to burst into pain. I couldn't help but let out a muffled groan in my mouth.

Suddenly, when I heard it, someone said, "Zhuoran, are you awake?"

I heard it was the sound of Lanxiao. I was about to turn around and take a look, but I found that I couldn't move. I reached out and touched it and found that I was tied to Lanxiao's back.

I reached out and touched my forehead, which was still in severe pain, turned my head and asked, "Where are we now? What are the situation now? What about others?"

Yuanxiao said in a deep voice: "You have so many problems! You are dizzy, I saved you, and others saved me again. It's that simple. As for where this is, you can tell by yourself."

I turned on the flashlight strangely and shone it all around. I suddenly felt scared and sweated. It turned out that we were in a corridor, and a large amount of sea water rushed from it. Two or three meters in front of me was the end of the corridor, and on the ground at the end was a black hole with a diameter of about four meters. The water vapor at the entrance of the cave was filled with the light of the flashlight, and it was like a huge beast's mouth swallowing everything.

A large amount of sea water flowed into the black hole along the corridor. We could not hear any sound of sea water falling to the ground. This black hole was already extremely deep and might not even have a bottom. I don’t know where it leads. Looking at this bottomless black hole, I felt dizzy.

Thinking of my experience just now, my back felt cold and I felt very scared. If it weren’t for Yuanxiao who saved me before I fell into this black hole along the sea water, I wouldn’t know how I died if I died!

I turned my hand and patted the shoulder of Lanxiao, "Thank you, buddy!"

Yuanxiao waved his hand, "It's okay! How are you?"

"I'm fine," I said, "Lanxiao, please let go of me, I can do it myself."

"Really? Are you sure?" Lanxiao confirmed again.

"Yeah! Don't worry!" I nodded. So Yuanxiao tied the hiking rope in his hand to his waist first, then loosened the rope tied to us, tied it alone on my waist, and then handed the rope to my hands.

I pulled the rope tightly and used a lot of effort to keep myself in balance in the water. I turned around and asked Yuanxiao: "What should we do below? What about the others?"

Lantern Festival pointed to the top with a flashlight, and I looked up along the climbing rope, and saw a square hole about six or seven meters higher than a person.

Uncle Er was leaning out from inside and looking down, while Wen Mo was climbing on the wall with a rope tied to it, smashing gaps with a mountaineering pick, as if he was opening the way for us.

The second uncle looked down and saw me, "Big nephew, are you okay? You almost explained it just now. You will use a mountaineering pick to climb up along the route that Wenmo smashed. Can you do it?"

I gestured to my uncle in an OK position. I raised my flashlight and looked up. Then I realized that this corridor was built very high, at least twice the height of an ordinary tomb chamber. Why did I build this place so high? At the same time, I also discovered another problem. From the corridor that was passed by the tomb chamber just now, there was no connection to any tomb chamber. At the end of this corridor is the black hole. This is really strange. Could it be that the tomb chamber is under this black hole?

I looked back at the black hole again and felt that it was unlikely. After all, this place was originally the imperial tomb of the Qin Dynasty. It would be too much fun to build a tomb chamber. If Qin Shihuang knew about it, the craftsmen who built the tombs would be cracked in the car! Then what is the purpose of this construction?

But I didn't have time to think about it at this moment. The sea water was still rushing in, and the cold sea water kept hitting our bodies. I couldn't help but chill.

I no longer hesitated, picked up the mountaineering pickaxe, pulled it into the mountaineering rope, and climbed up along Wen Mo's route just now. I just watched Wen Mo doing it, but when I was doing it, I realized that I was unable to do it at all.

With the help of my second uncle and others, I barely climbed into the square hole. When it was Lantern Festival's turn, it was a little more difficult, but with the combined efforts of the three of us, I finally pulled Lantern Festival up. At this time, I discovered a question: Where did Zhou Cheng go?!
