The Strongest Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders

Chapter 387
A knife.

The nearly three-meter-long strange fish was split in half with a knife from head to tail.

After the strange fish fell into the water, it took a while to float up from the water, and then it was divided into two halves from the back.

Fresh blood dyed the green mine water red.

"Nanai's, this is Zheluo salmon, how can there be such a fish in this place?"

"Could it be that someone else raised it here?"

"Who knows."

Jero salmon, a carnivorous fish, is violent and vicious, and it is the most vicious among freshwater fish.

It's just that this thing belongs to cold water fish, how could it appear in such a place.

How did this thing get into this ancient mine? Could it be that it was artificially raised here?
"Second brother, be careful!"

"I love you!"

"Second brother!"

At this moment, another Zheluo salmon rushed up, bit Chen Yulou in one bite, and dragged it to the deep water of the mine.

The Zheluo salmon that attacked Chen Yulou was a little smaller than the one that Mingli chopped off. This guy has been hiding at the bottom of the mine tunnel, and then brazenly attacked Chen Yulou.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Yulou was dragged tens of meters away, and his figure disappeared into the dark mine tunnel.

Seeing this, Ming Li and Partridge Whistle quickly turned around and chased after them. However, the stagnant water up to their chests restricted their speed of movement, and they failed to catch up with Zhe Luo Salmon, who was attacking Chen Yulou.

After chasing hundreds of meters away, the mine turned a corner in front of it, and a deep pond with accumulated water appeared in front of it.

At this time, the deep pond with a radius of seven or eight meters was completely stained red with blood. Chen Yulou was holding the small god blade in his hand, and sat on the steps opposite the pond, panting heavily.

At Chen Yulou's feet was the two-meter-long Zheluo salmon that had sneaked up on him.

The lower half of the Zhe Luo salmon's body was submerged in the water, and the blood flowed into the deep pond like money, dyeing the water surface red.

With this situation, Ming Li and Partridge Whistle breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second brother, are you okay?"

"How about second brother, are you injured?"

"Third brother, fourth brother." Chen Yulou waved his hands towards Ming Li and Partridge Whistle, "I'm fine, it's just a fish, it can't hurt me."

He had already noticed it when the salmon attacked him.

So the jelly salmon failed to bite into his flesh, but bit into the cowhide waterproof backpack behind him.

This guy actually wants to eat his meat, what do you think, it deserves it.

It would be embarrassing enough to be attacked by a fish. If you were buried in the belly of a fish again, you would have no face to meet your ancestors in hell.

After being dragged by the Zheluo salmon for more than ten meters in the water, Chen Yulou clasped the guy's cheeks, turned over and rode on the guy's back.

The mine road is narrow and difficult to use.

After arriving at this deep pond, Xiao Shenfeng slashed and sent this guy directly to King Yan.

A fish dared to speak to the head of Chen, a blind beast.

Phew, what the hell.

Wouldn't it be good to live well? You have to die.

It's all right now, let's go see Lord Yama.

"I didn't expect that the further you go in this mine, the more mysterious it will be."

"If it wasn't for this jerk salmon dragging my second brother to this place, we really wouldn't be able to get here."

On the other side of the deep pond, there is an ascending step, which is very steep and almost straight.

Stairs like this can only appear in mines, which also confirmed the guess of the three from the side, this place is really an ancient mine.

Maybe under this deep pond is a pit left over from ancient mining, which has been submerged by stagnant water now.

Ming Li and Partridge Whistle waded through the deep pond in front of them, and met Chen Yulou at the other end of the pond.

"Nanai's, my cowhide waterproof backpack was bitten by this beast."

Chen Yulou stood up and kicked the Zheluo salmon that had sneaked up on him into the deep pond.

The handmade double-layer cowhide waterproof backpack, this bag accompanied him through life and death, and now it is scrapped like this, what a pity.

Ming Li smiled and said, "Second brother, third brother, let's go, go up and have a look."

It's just a cowhide waterproof backpack. If it rots, it will rot.

Speaking of which, this cowhide waterproof backpack is also considered a meritorious service for protecting the Lord. If it weren't for this backpack, Zhe Luo's salmon would have bitten Chen Yulou's back with one bite.

The three walked forward along the steep steps and came to a stone room propped up with wood.

Around the stone chamber, there are several mine passages leading to different directions.

The stone room is quite spacious, and it should be used to temporarily store the mined ore.

Over the years, the wood supporting the stone chamber has decayed. However, this stone chamber was dug directly out of the rocks, and it still looks quite strong. Even if the supporting wood is completely decayed, the stone slab above the head will not be in danger of falling. .

"This place is good, second brother, third brother, let's rest here first, eat something, and dry the clothes."

"Okay, do you want to get some salmon meat to roast?"

"Second brother, can you eat the fish raised here?"

"Never mind."

The water in this place is so dirty, the fish raised here may have grown up eating the carrion corpses of dead miners, so let’s forget about eating this stuff.

Picking up a pile of rotten wood, Ming Li threw a spell on the wood, and a raging fire ignited.

The three of them took off their clothes and put them next to the fire to roast.

Enjoy lunch while drying the clothes.

"I'll go, it seems that there are more than two of these things."

"Another one."

"Tsk tsk tsk, even eat the corpses of your companions, a beast is a beast."

There were far more than two salmon raised in the mine. At this time, two more salmon emerged from the deep pond, feasting on the corpses of their dead companions.

In such a big place, there are actually four jerk salmon. What do they eat in this kind of place?
Could it be that he really grew up eating the carrion corpses of dead miners in the mine?

No, this is an ancient mine. Judging by its age, it is at least an ancient mine left over from the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the direct burial pit of the mine is full of corpses of dead miners, after so many years, even the bones may have been calcified and decayed.

Unless these Jerome salmon were not artificially raised here at all, but swam here from other places.

Maybe there are other passages under the water surface of this mine. This passage is connected to the underground water vein and connected to the river outside, and then these Jerome salmon swim to this place along the underground water vein.

Of course, it's just a guess. They don't have the interest to jump in to verify whether this deep pond is connected to an underground water vein.

After baking in the stone chamber for about an hour, the soaked clothes were almost dry.

The three of them put on their clothes, extinguished the raging fire, and walked into the largest mine.

The three of them had planned to turn around and go out before, but Zhe Luo salmon came out like this.

Now that Jindu has come in, it is better to continue walking along the mine road.

They want to see what secrets are hidden in this mine.

The three of them walked for a long time in the mine, but nothing strange happened.

We walked and chatted along the way, and we talked about the big stone sculpture on the cliff that was blown up. I don't know if that statue has anything to do with this mine vein.

It may be that when the ancients made statues here, they accidentally discovered the existence of jade mines here.

Of course, this is just the speculation of Mingli, Chen Yulou, and Zhegushao. They are not the parties involved, so it is impossible to know the situation at that time.

"Clanging..."

"Nano, what is it?"

Chen Yulou felt that he had kicked something and made a clanging sound.

The three of them leaned over and saw that it was actually a rusty iron ring. This iron ring was connected to the ground.

The three of them looked at each other and pushed away the dust around the iron ring. Sure enough, under the thick dust, a stone slab connected to the rusty iron ring was exposed.

Knocking on the stone slab made a dull sound of thud, thump, thump, and the bottom of the stone slab was empty.

"Third brother, fourth brother, open it and have a look?"

"Open it."

"I opened it."

Chen Yulou pulled the rusty iron ring and pulled the stone slab away, revealing a dark hole.

In the cave, there are stone steps leading down.

In the blind spot below, it is not clear where the stone steps lead to.

"Third brother, fourth brother, what should we do now?"

"Fourth brother, what do you think?"

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle looked at Mingli, whether they should continue to walk along the mine road, or go down to have a look.

"Go down." Ming Li took the Ming Hongdao and jumped to the stone steps below first.

After the three of them got down there, they realized that this was actually a mine tunnel. The mine tunnel was very deep, and the green stone walls were very wet.

One can imagine the manpower and material resources spent on digging such a bottomless mine tunnel on the cliff.

The three of them climbed down the almost straight mine path, and climbed down the cliff for about 10 minutes. The mine path changed its almost straight trend and became gentler.

"Third brother, fourth brother, listen, there is the sound of water, there is probably an underground water vein underneath."

"The surrounding rock walls are very slippery, which should be the reason for this underground water vein."

"It looks like it's going to the end, second brother, third brother, let's speed up."

The speed of the three climbing down accelerated again, and their bodies were as flexible as apes.

The cliff is steep and slippery, ordinary people must be very careful when walking on it, so as not to fall and smash themselves into a pulp.

However, the trio of Ming Li, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were bold and skilled, and walked like flying on the steep and slippery cliff.

The further you go down, the louder the sound of the water is, like ten thousand horses galloping.

Soon the three of them came to a natural cave below. The whole cave was about seven or eight meters wide and five or six meters high.

The cave is blown by the wind, indicating that this natural cave is connected to the outside, and you can go out from this place by walking in the direction of the wind.

The ceiling of the cave is covered with upside-down stalactites, and there is a swift underground river at the bottom of the cave. The water temperature is so high that it can depilate pigs. The cave is filled with mist and the air smells of sulfur.
