Chapter 373: Underwater Tomb

Li Yuanhong didn't expect that as soon as he got less than three meters inside, the fish behind him would catch up again, and this time it was even crazier. It turned out that Li Yuanhong had just killed a golden barbel, and the fish blood spread out, and the bloody smell was irritating. It kills the fish and makes the fish go crazy.

Now Li Yuanhong was going to be unlucky. Several more fish bit Li Yuanhong's legs. Although the bites were not broken, the fish teeth had already pierced Li Yuanhong's skin. The slight sting reminded Li Yuanhong that he was about to be fished. The group was torn apart.

Li Yuanhong quickly turned around and struck out with his dagger again, beheading several small fish, but more fish swarmed over him. Helpless, Li Yuanhong could only swing his dagger harder and beheaded the small fish that rushed over one by one. Kill, but the stronger bloody smell attracts more fish and makes the fish in front of you even crazier.

Moreover, Li Yuanhong also made a bad discovery. Every time a dagger is swung on the ground, it takes several times more effort than on the ground, and the speed is also much slower. Many small daggers are used. The fish would get into Li Yuanhong's defensive gap from time to time and give Li Yuanhong a few bites, which made Li Yuanhong even more concerned about one thing and the other.

Fortunately, some of the fish were attracted by the fish Li Yuanhong killed. These fish tore at the dead fish carcasses in front of Li Yuanhong, as if telling Li Yuanhong that you will be eaten next.

Li Yuanhong knew that this would definitely not work. No matter how powerful he was, this place was underwater after all, and his oxygen would be exhausted sooner or later. Moreover, once those fish bit through the oxygen tube behind him, he would have to admit that he was here in advance.

So Li Yuanhong quickly filtered the weapons in his hands to see which weapons could help him.

Robots are definitely no longer good. These things all have one characteristic: they are afraid of water. After all, they are land combat weapons and are not waterproof.

Although grenades and lightning can be used, the lake water is conductive. Throwing grenades and blowing up fish means you can't run away at the same time. This is definitely not possible. Flash grenades are useless against fish, PASS. Fire grenade? This is water, it's strange that the flame can burn.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanhong suddenly remembered the pepper grenade he had asked Dr. Bai to make for him. That thing should work. The reason why fish are so sensitive to the smell of blood is that they have a good sense of smell. A good sense of smell is both an advantage and a disadvantage. A slightly stronger pungent smell may kill them.

So Li Yuanhong quickly took out a grenade from the space, pulled it on a small hook on his waist, opened the grenade's ring, and then threw the grenade into the fish.

With a weak explosion, a thick red color spread in the water. Of course, this red color was not blood, but chili powder spreading in the water.

The school of fish that had just rushed towards Li Yuanhong immediately became confused. The fish seemed to have been stimulated by something and fled away. For fear of being exposed to the red liquid, the fish surrounding the center of the explosion turned belly up. Turned white.

Seeing that the chili grenade was useful, Li Yuanhong immediately pulled out another one and threw it into the fish. The chili powder completely sealed the entrance of the cave, so that the fish did not dare to get even half a step closer to the cave.

Of course, Li Yuanhong didn't invest more. After all, the mutated pepper has not been successfully cultivated. The pepper grenade in Li Yuanhong's hand is one less. Now the pepper water has sealed the hole to Li Yuanhong, and you don't want to waste more pepper grenades. .

After driving away these mutated piranhas, Li Yuanhong never thought that one day he would be chased by these small fishes and had almost no way to escape. There were also several small fishes that were fainted by the hot pepper and kept twitching on the ground. Without saying a word, Li Yuanhong collected all these fish into the space and collected some interest.

Getting rid of Xiaoyu, Li Yuanhong went all the way deep into the cave. He didn't know how the tomb here was built in the first place. How did the ancients bury the tomb underwater? There was no such thing as a pump at that time, which could pump the lake water to the lake. It has been drained, and it is understood that this lake is a spring water, and spring water continuously gushes out from the ground. What kind of pump can drain this lake water?

Li Yuanhong swam for about ten minutes before he reached the end of the passage. There was an upward passage, so Li Yuanhong went upstream. Soon, he reached a lake. The exit here was connected to a hall below. Here Li Yuanhong heard the sound of running water. , Li Yuanhong went ashore, took off his diving suit, put the diving suit into the space, then took out a high-power flashlight and looked around. Li Yuanhong found that there was a huge hole here, and the sound of running water was the water flowing out of the lake. I don’t know where it flows. Anyway, the water overflowing from the lake will never be able to flood the underground cavity. No matter how much water is, it will be absorbed by the underground river and then flow to an unknown place.

Around the cave, Li Yuanhong found many artificial signs. Obviously, this underground cave was not formed naturally, or in other words, it was not purely natural, but there were artificial elements inside, especially the river flowing underground. There are obvious traces of manual excavation.

Li Yuanhong listened carefully. There was a more violent and powerful sound below the drainage channel. Apparently, this drainage channel was connected to the underground river below. It seemed that the ancients did not know how to find the underground waterway and regarded it as the underground waterway. Drainage pipes to ensure that the catacombs would not be flooded by overflowing lake water.

Li Yuanhong looked around and finally found a stone gate not far from the water outlet. Li Yuanhong came to the stone gate and found that the stone gate was more than five meters high and more than three meters wide. If he had been in the apocalypse, he probably wouldn't have been able to push this stone gate, but now, Li Yuanhong could try.

So Li Yuanhong struggled with his feet and leaned on the stone door with his shoulders. He said "ah" and his cheeks turned red, but the stone door did not move at all.

"Huh? That's not right. Why can't this door be pushed open?" Li Yuanhong stood up straight in embarrassment. Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise he would have been laughed at by others.

It couldn't be pushed open, and Li Yuanhong didn't compete with the gate in this regard, so Li Yuanhong walked along the gate and looked around carefully. There was no such thing as tomb robbing by the ancients. The tombs of many important figures could be freely entered and exited for future generations to offer sacrifices to. Congratulations, this gate is so big, I guess it also plays a role in this aspect.

So Li Yuanhong searched everywhere and finally saw a winch in an inconspicuous place. The winch is made of pure stone, but the wood used as the handle on the winch has long been rusted.

But this doesn't trouble Li Yuanhong. There are a lot of miscellaneous things in Li Yuanhong's space. He can just find a thicker iron rod and solve this problem.

Li Yuanhong stirred the winch vigorously. The winch from thousands of years ago could still move. He heard the winch making a "squeaking" sound. Slowly, the winch was winched, and soon the sound of the chain came from below. , Li Yuanhong didn’t know what kind of chain this was. You know, in ancient times, there was no such thing as iron. Could it be a copper chain?

Li Yuanhong didn't hesitate for long. Just when Li Yuanhong was winching the winch, the closed door slowly opened. What made Li Yuanhong embarrassed was that the door actually opened outwards. No wonder the door didn't move just now. I opened the door in the wrong direction.

In fact, this is not Li Yuanhong's fault. There is no brass ring or guard to open the door. There is no way for him to pull it.

As the gate opened, when the gate reached its maximum position, the winch "clicked" to the end.

Li Yuanhong let go and found that the winch did not go back automatically, so he walked towards the stone gate with confidence.

When entering the gate, Li Yuanhong found a Nong Road, which extended inward, and the stones paving the Nong Road were also huge stones. The Nong Road, which had not been stepped on for thousands of years, did not appear to be that big. Damage, and on both sides of the Yong Road, Li Yuanhong actually saw many stone lamps. These lamps were actually on, which surprised Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong had heard that there were immortal lamps in ancient tombs, which were made of Made from mermaid oil. Li Yuanhong had seen such lamps in the imperial mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and here Li Yuanhong saw such lamps again, and there was not just one lamp, but two rows. Could it be that in ancient times, the mermaid oil that had been immortal for thousands of years , so worthless?

Walking along the Yong Road, Li Yuanhong did not see the legendary anti-theft measures, but Li Yuanhong still did not dare to be careless. Li Yuanhong walked along the Yong Road and came to a stone house. It was more like a temple than a house. In front of the temple, there was a huge copper tripod. The shape of the tripod was very strange. Li Yuanhong had seen a square tripod before. This It's also a square tripod, but the patterns on this square tripod are not cloud talismans or other auspicious patterns, but are filled with all kinds of terrifying grimace talismans, and there is a tripod ear on each side of the square tripod. These two tripod ears are also in the shape of terrifying ghost heads, and their big mouths form the earrings of the tripod ears.

"It's such a terrifying cauldron. I guess this is the ghost cauldron. The patterns are so lifelike. It's really scary to put it in this dark underground place!" Li Yuanhong sighed.

Li Yuanhong walked around the big cauldron and walked towards the huge temple.

This temple is a traditional temple, not the style of a Buddhist temple from India. The temple is very simple. There are no complicated carved beams and paintings, and there are no golden bricks and yellow tiles. There are only huge stones and stone pillars. I don’t know how the ancients used it. How to transport these huge stones here and then use these stones to build such a huge temple.

Li Yuanhong could only lament the wisdom of the ancients. With the passage of time, many ancient people's wisdom has disappeared in the long river of history, but Li Yuanhong is not an archaeologist and does not care about the wisdom of the ancients. He just wants to obtain the Dragon-Slaying Sword, so he strode towards Temple gate.

As a result, there was another huge stone door blocking the way.
