The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 386 Ancient Mine

The three local masters who were forced to lead the way by Japanese pirates with guns let them leave after a good lesson.

As for the corpses of these Japanese pirates, nature will degrade them all and become fertilizer for small flowers and grass.

After the group of Japanese pirates were dealt with, it was almost dawn.

After breakfast, they packed up their things, and Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle continued their journey.

On the way, the three of them also met a large group of golden monkeys. The group of monkeys saw Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle carrying bags on their backs, and thought that the bags contained food.

The Monkey King rushed up to grab the Partridge Whistle's bag, but was kicked backwards by the Partridge Whistle and Zijinguan kicked him away. After getting up from the ground, the Monkey King hurriedly led the monkeys away, squatting on the ground tens of meters away. He kept calling to the three of them in the woods.

"Nai Nai, these bastards are too courageous, they even dare to rush up and grab our things."

"Fourth brother, what are these monkeys talking about?"

"Call us."

This group of golden monkeys were very upset with them after they failed to rob them but were abused. They are squatting in the woods tens of meters away and scolding them.

"Nai Nai, if it wasn't for the fast running of these animals, the skins of these animals would have to be taken back and made into fur coats."

"Okay, second brother, why don't you get angry with a group of animals, let's continue on our way."

"Third brother, is the injury on your hand okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little skin scratched by this beast."

"Third brother, here it is."

Ming carp threw the golden sore medicine to Partridge Whistle. These medicine powders were all prepared by flower spirits and used for trauma.

Although the partridge whistle kicked the golden monkey king away, his right forearm was also scratched by the monkey king's sharp claws, bleeding profusely.

Wouldn't it be a waste of points to ignore the group of golden monkeys squatting in the distance and scolding, and argue with a group of animals.

In front of the three of them was a narrow mountain gap, with valleys on both sides towering into the sky.

The further you go inside, the darker the light and the lower the temperature. A gust of mountain wind blows through, and there are weird sounds from the cracks in the mountain, which is eerie and makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The deeper you go into the crevasse, the more obvious this uncomfortable feeling becomes.

Anyway, this place is very weird.

Being in this kind of place, an ordinary person would have been scared to pee, but Ming Li, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Whistle were not affected in the slightest by this weird environment.

That's it?

Still can't scare them.

Walking in the eerie mountain crevices, the three of them felt like they were walking in their own yard.

"I'm going, what?"

"Looks like a hand."

"stone carving."

After walking for a long time in the crevice of the mountain, a huge arm suddenly appeared in front of him.

This giant hand was gray and white in color, and was buried under a pile of boulders. Its bare fingers were as thick as the thighs of the three of them. It was a veritable giant hand.

The fingers of the giant hand were bent, as if grasping something. After getting closer, I found that the giant hand was carved out of stone.

It's just that the sculptor who carved this giant hand is very skilled, and the carving style is also very realistic.

At first glance, I really thought it was a real giant arm.

The craftsman who sculpted this giant hand must be a highly skilled sculptor.

Chen Yulou looked up at the crack in the mountain and said, "This hand should have fallen from above."

This pile of stones and this giant hand should not have been in this place originally. Somewhere above the mountain crevice collapsed, and this giant hand fell into the mountain crevice along with these stones.

It's just that the mountain above is sloping, and there are many blind spots looking up from the cracks in the mountain, so it's hard to see what's going on above.

"Second brother, third brother, let's climb up and have a look." The place where the giant hand fell was easier to climb than other places.

Soon the three of them came to the collapsed place. When they saw the huge stone arm in the crevice of the mountain, the three of them guessed that there should be a huge statue of God on it, but the arm collapsed and fell due to disrepair.

After coming up, I found that it was not a statue, but a half-length figure carved on the mountain. The chest and head of the figure had been blown off, leaving only one hand and half of the shoulder.

At the collapsed position, a hole the size of a washbasin was blown out. Ming Li glanced inside, and the space inside was very wide.It should be an ancient tomb.

It's just that this ancient tomb has been patronized by an expert as early as 30 to [-] years ago.

Those who can build a tomb in this kind of place are certainly not ordinary people, and those who can fight upside down in this kind of place must be the best of the best. With the ability of ordinary tomb robbers, they will never find it on the cliff in this mountain crevice. There are ancient tombs, and I don't know what kind of predecessors visited this place 30 or [-] years ago.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?"

"It's all at the door, let's go in and have a look."

"Second brother, third brother, I'm advanced."

They are all at the door, so there is no reason not to go in. Ming Li took the lead and got into the ancient tomb behind the stone statue, followed by Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle.

Inside the ancient tomb is full of green stagnant water, which should have flowed in from the blasted hole when it rained.

The stagnant water was so deep that it did not reach the chests of the three of them.

"No, it's such a deep stagnant water."

"The whole tomb is probably submerged by stagnant water."

"It's a bit immoral for the seniors who patronize here before twenty or thirty. They didn't close the doors of other people's houses when they left, causing other people's houses to be flooded with stagnant water."

The green stagnant water was icy cold, and after the three of them walked forward for a while, a low stone door opened on the stone wall inside.

The stone gate is very low, and you have to bend over to pass through it. If you do this, you have to bury your head in the smelly stagnant water.

It was Ming carp who took the lead, holding his breath and directly drilled through the low stone gate.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle saw Ming carp passing by, gritted their teeth and submerged their heads in the green and smelly stagnant water, and followed them.

"Ouch..., Nanai's, it smells so bad, it's so disgusting..., vomit..."

"The water in the old altar of 30 or [-] years has a different taste."

After passing through the low stone gate, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle retched with their mouths open.

The green stagnant water has been aged in the tomb for 30 to [-] years. The gloomy tomb does not see sunlight all year round. One can imagine how strong the stagnant water smells.

After so many years in the bucket, the aged water in this ancient tomb definitely tastes the strongest.

After passing through the low stone gate, Chen Yulou hastily took out the thousand-year-old tortoise shell detoxification pill and partridge whistle and took one each.

Inside the low stone gate is a blue-gray stone path. After walking forward for more than ten meters, the stone path turns a nearly ninety-degree right-angle bend.

"Third brother, fourth brother, why do I feel that this place doesn't look like an ancient tomb?"

"It's true that some don't look like it, but some of them look like mines left over from ancient times."

Although this place is quite big, the construction is very rough, just like digging up casually as long as it can pass people, there is no refinement at all.

Generally, when a mausoleum is built in a mountain, the entire mountain will be hollowed out, and the rooms in the tomb will be tall and large, and will be inlaid with stone slabs, with bricks and tiles.

Therefore, for mausoleums excavated in the mountains, the passages in the tombs will be very spacious, and there will be huge sealed stones in the passages, which can run horses.

And this place, with jagged rocks, doesn't look like an ancient tomb at all. It should be a mine tunnel dug in the mountain for mining in ancient times.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle have fought so many battles over the years that they can't even remember. They have never seen a mausoleum built so rough.

The people who started the mountain to build the mausoleum were not simple people. If the person who presided over the construction of the mausoleum built the mausoleum like this bird, how many heads would he have to chop off?

"Second brother, third brother, what do you mean, do you want to go deeper?"

This place may really be the mine tunnel left by the ancient jade mining.

In this channel, there are indeed many jade ore gravels left behind.

They just saw a blasted hole on the cliff, thinking that it might be an ancient tomb, so they came in to take a look out of curiosity.

It doesn't matter to Ming Li whether he wants to go further or not, it depends on what Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle mean.

"Although this place is probably not an ancient tomb, it is also very evil. In the world of tomb robbers, ancient mines have always been a taboo. An ancient mine like this may be even more dangerous than a real ancient tomb."

"In ancient times, those who were arrested to mine were usually prisoners. The death rate was very high due to such high-intensity labor. In the mines, there were usually direct burial shafts where the dead were thrown, and the dead inside were piled up layer by layer. The direct burial shaft in the ancient mine is an excellent place to raise corpses."

In ancient mines, the dead would be thrown directly into the direct burial shaft in the mine.

Therefore, in the world of tomb robbers, ancient mines have always been a taboo existence.

There are so many corpses of miners thrown in the direct burial well, so moistened by the underground yin, it is easy to turn into rice dumplings.

Chen Yulou remembered that his old man once robbed an ancient tomb, and after entering, he discovered that the so-called ancient tomb was actually an ancient mine left over from ancient times.

Countless zongzi crawled out of the direct burial well at the corner of the mine, and that time was also the fate of the old man, otherwise there would be no such thing as today's head Chen.

In order to find Muchen Beads, Partridge Whistle had also entered the ancient mine before, and that time the three of them almost confessed to each other.

"In this case, let's turn around and go back." Just as the three of them were about to turn around and go back, there were suddenly a few dull sounds of water in the dark night deep in the mine.

The three turned their heads to look, and saw a huge fin instantly sinking into the water, and an inverted triangle water mark appeared on the water surface, heading straight for the three of them.

"Nano, what is it?"

"Big fish?"

"So fast."

The monster in the water was very fast, approaching the three of them in the blink of an eye.

Sooner or later, a ball of water exploded in front of the three of them, and a huge strange fish came out of the water, biting the nearest Ming carp with its bloody mouth.

In the mouth of the strange fish, there are densely packed sharp teeth, shining faintly in the dark.

If bitten by this guy, his head would be gone immediately.

At this moment, a silvery bright and cold light flashed away, and the strange fish crashed into the water from the air, and the green stagnant water was stained red with blood.
