Chapter 395 Realism

Just like unblocking a clogged pipe, once the blockage is opened, the water will flow down in an instant!

In this narrow cave, I played a role similar to the blockage in the pipe. When the rope on my body was cut, not only me, but also Zhang Xinya who was riding on my neck began to slide down at an accelerated speed.

At this point, I noticed that these people did not slide down on the rope at all, but jumped down directly.

It seems that the monsters finally gnawed open the tomb door. They jumped down to choose a relatively comfortable way to die, but they didn't expect that there was a mystery hidden in the cave, and they were lucky to save their lives.

I didn't have time to ask about the specific situation. After my hands were free, I was undoubtedly much more relaxed than before when facing such a steep slope that kept sliding down.

I used my hands and feet and kept turning my body to reduce the damage caused by friction.

The slope was getting smaller and smaller, and the speed of sliding down was also slowing down.

Finally, the downward movement gradually stopped, but I didn't slide out of the cave directly as I expected. I think it was because I tried to stop the downward movement several times during the process...

No one spoke, and only the heavy breathing of a few people remained in the dark and silent cave.

I took this opportunity to untie the rope tied under my ribs and tried to move my arms a little. Fortunately, when I moved, I only felt the soreness of muscle strain. My bones were not broken, but my back was burning with pain. I knew without looking that there was no good meat on my back...

"What's the situation now?"

Brother Yaozi's voice came from behind: "Is there any road ahead?"

"I lost my flashlight and can't see clearly."

I responded and asked, "Where are the people? Have they all come down?"

"They have come down!"

Wushuang responded to me: "I am the last one to jump down..."

"Where is Lao Bai? How is he now?"

"..."

There was a rustling sound behind me. After a while, Xiao Zhi stammered, "Brother Jingzhe, he... is still not moving!"

Is it too late?

I felt disappointed. The facts have proved that Brother Yaozi's guess was completely correct. The things in the ice tomb were the same things he had seen and heard in the past. The flesh and blood did have some therapeutic effects. Unfortunately, Lao Bai was the first to be hit. The cold attacked the fastest and most violently. When he came to his senses, he had become an ice lump and had no breath. Although I didn't want to admit it, I didn't hold much hope in my heart.

I couldn't say whether I was sad or angry. I felt empty in my heart. For the first time, I had a strong hatred and disgust for this business. I didn't know whether I was tired of separation or... tired of this business. After all, the two had been equated in my heart. In this prosperous and peaceful era, perhaps only people like us are left who are struggling for life like dogs every day...

A beam of light suddenly lit up behind me, passed through the gap in the cave, and illuminated the front.

I supported my body with my elbows and barely raised my head to look forward. It was dark ahead. Under the beam of light, I could vaguely see the cave entrance ahead. Outside the cave entrance seemed to be a rather open underground space, but I didn't know what it was.

"Almost done, let's go out!"

I called out to the others. Tianguan Blade had already awakened. He held Baipi Knife in his mouth, turned over, and with his butt facing outward, he retreated backwards little by little like a dog.

The cave entrance was about thirty to fifty meters behind me. Soon I crawled out. A flashlight rolled out of the cave. I picked up the flashlight and immediately turned around to look behind me.

This was a hollowed-out underground space, seventy to eighty meters square, about four or five meters high, surrounded by huge stones. I don't know how many years it has been underground. The huge stones were covered with moss, so that the whole looked green.

Opposite the cave, there was another stone cave, but this stone cave was high and wide, and I didn't know where it led to.

On both sides of the cave, there are two lifelike human-shaped stone statues, each nearly ten feet tall, with muscles like steel and rock, wearing a battle skirt around the waist, and looking indescribably wild. The left hand holds a huge golden gourd hammer, which is obviously made of bronze, and it looks like it weighs no less than one or two hundred pounds. The right hand holds a golden guard, which is not much less than the extremely terrifying golden gourd.

In such an environment, it is difficult for me to tell whether this is a snake cave or a tomb for a while, because there are no obvious features.

Zhang Xinya and Brother Yaozi came out of the cave one after another, and their reactions were similar to mine. They frowned after seeing this ordinary arrangement, and they couldn't tell the depth...

However, at least it is safe here.

After confirming this, I felt much more relieved. I turned around to check on Xiao Zhi who had just come out of the cave. The little girl had been through the gates of hell with us. She was very calm and indifferent. She looked a little embarrassed, but she didn't suffer any serious injuries.

"Burp!!"

A strange sound came from the cave, and the sound was like a person dying...

I was startled and asked Wushuang in the cave what happened.

"I'm fine..."

Wushuang said hesitantly: "It seems that Lao Bai is dying..."

How can a person who has been frozen into an ice lump die!

Unless...

I was ecstatic and quickly put half of my body into the cave. Wushuang was staring at Lao Bai's shoulders at the back and pushing him forward. Soon I grabbed Lao Bai's feet...

My ankles were wet, but there was no more creepy cold.

There was another strange "burp" sound, and Lao Bai's body obviously twitched.

"It's him!!"

Brother Yaozi came over at some point, and his stern face showed ecstasy: "This grandson is really tough, he was frozen into a popsicle, and he seems to be still alive after thawing!!"

Without giving any time to talk, I struggled to drag Lao Bai out of the cave.

As expected, the strange blue color on his body had long faded, and his whole body was wet. I don't know when his eyes opened, but he kept rolling his eyes, his legs were stretched straight, and his body twitched from time to time, just like he had epilepsy.

"This is..."

I was also a little confused, and I was helpless in the face of such a situation.

"Hiccup!"

Lao Bai's throat squeezed out that weird sound again, his mouth opened slightly, and when he breathed, it was obvious that he was breathing in less than out...

"There's something in his mouth!!"

Brother Yaozi said anxiously: "Hurry up and pull him up, he's in trouble, don't let the cold kill him, but let him be choked to death by saliva!"

I don't know whether Lao Bai was choked by saliva, but his hands were not slow, and he immediately pulled him up.

As soon as he sat up, Lao Bai jumped up from the ground as if he had returned to his soul. It was more terrifying than a big zongzi jumping out of a coffin. He covered his chest, rolled his eyes, and didn't look at the road. He rushed back and forth around, and finally knelt down in front of the stone statue holding the golden gourd hammer, coughing loudly, and several pieces of raw meat covered with saliva sprayed out of his mouth.

Lao Bai finally caught his breath and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, shouting angrily: "Which bastard, while I was unconscious, stuffed raw meat into my mouth, is this murder?"

The joy on Brother Yaozi's face immediately disappeared without a trace, and he looked at Lao Bai hatefully, his teeth clenching, and from his expression, it was clear that he wished Lao Bai would just leave like that...

I was greatly relieved to see that this grandson was alive, but I couldn't smile at him, and sneered: "Brother Yaozi said that it was wild man meat..."

Lao Bai's face froze.

I stepped forward and kicked him hard, cursing: "When will you change your bad habit of greed? For a jade bead, you almost lost your life, and a lot of people followed you and almost died. Money is good, but you have to live to spend it!!"

"Hey, stop talking..."

Lao Bai sighed and smiled bitterly: "In fact, I just want to get two things and let Tu Xingsun's grandson sell them, make some money, and repair our Zhenwu Temple. We are all homeless ghosts, and if we get together, it's at least our home, right? If people don't love their homes, are they still human?

Mr. Zhang has a lot of skills, but he lives a poor life. There are not many people in the temple. It has not been repaired for many years. It rained a lot this year. Doesn't your house leak? When it rains, you have to put a few porcelain basins on the kang to collect water. The next day, the water overflows and the mattress and quilt are all wet. It's worse than wetting the bed.

And our car, don't you want to change it to a more powerful one? When we go out, we always have to rely on such things. Since Zhang Xinya's SUV broke, I have been driving a second-hand car. The car smells of gasoline. Haven't you noticed that I don't smoke much in the car? Because I am worried that the car will explode if it catches fire, and we will all be wiped out! When I encounter a slightly steep slope, I can't go up. I have to push the car all the way. Once I get on the highway, it's even more awesome. When the speed exceeds 100, I feel like I'm going to fly...

Mr. Zhang also needs to add a few sets of clothes. He never wears modern clothes, insisting that they are foreign stuff. It's a different era now, who can tell the difference? He always keeps saying, "Huaxia Huaxia, only with Chinese clothes can it be called Huaxia." He never thinks about how expensive the materials for making long gowns and coats are. A slightly higher-grade handmade set costs thousands of yuan, and he always wears those old clothes..."

Lao Bai kept muttering. Although I complained in my heart, I couldn't say anything. I found a place to sit next to him, patted his shoulder and sighed, "No matter what, life is more important. We should not touch the things in the tomb if we can. It's too scary. There might be something wrong. We brothers have only one life. It's not easy to survive until now. We must live a long life, otherwise we will not live so much!"

Lao Bai fell down between the legs of the giant sculpture with a dazed look in his eyes. It was obvious that he was still frightened by the struggle between life and death.

I pushed him and was about to remind him to get up and bandage his wound, but he asked a very strange question without thinking: "Don't you think this sculpture is too realistic?"

The topic changed too quickly, and I didn't react for a while. I subconsciously glanced at the two sculptures and nodded: "It is quite realistic. Except for the size ratio, it looks no different from real people. It's quite strange. This doesn't look like the oriental sculpture style!"

"The West is not so realistic either!!"

Lao Bai sat up suddenly and pointed upwards: "It's okay to wear a battle skirt, but there is a black thing hanging under the battle skirt. It's so big..."

I was stunned and was about to go to observe it. A pair of cold hands suddenly rested on my shoulders and pulled me back.

Cang Yao appeared out of nowhere and urged anxiously, "Let's go, get out of here quickly. These don't seem to be two sculptures. They look so familiar. Let's go!!"
