Chapter 129
r mind," a mole helped me wring out my clothes. She wasn't asking me to take off my underwear.Here's the cave structure. Her walkie-talkie in her bag wouldn't work, and there were no satellite phones...He carried a folding cyclone shovel in his bag, which was faster at digging than the Luoyang shovel. The difference between the two is that one focuses on precise soil probing while the other emphasizes efficient earth excavation.
He gave me a nod and told me to dig down with him.
After the excavation, the topsoil was relatively soft. But as we dug deeper, we found that the soil became harder and harder. In the end, what we dug out wasn't loess but a kind of soil with a faint white frost. It was like the frost on the ground in winter. I touched it with my hand, and it actually felt cold...
The hunched old man from Xiangxi had been watching silently. After seeing this scene, he raised his eyebrows and said faintly, "This is a place of extreme yin energy. It seems like the right place to be. If someone dies and lies here for two thousand years, even their spirit would become corrupted. This master is ruthless; he has buried eighteen generations of his descendants with him."
”
We dug so hard but didn't even break a sweat. I distinctly felt the temperature around us drop by a few degrees.
I'm not sure if I'm seeing things, but for a moment, it felt like the breath I exhaled turned into white vapor.
In the tomb robbing profession, skilled earthworkers use a whirlwind shovel. It's considered acceptable if they dig down two to three meters in an hour. Earthworkers like Second Brother and Third Brother can dig at least four meters deep or more within an hour.
I'm not doing great; I look quite unqualified. My progress is slow because the soil is too hard, and there isn't much moisture in this work.
"Huh"
"Wait, something's not right, you guys stop first," beggar Liu suddenly told us to stop.
"What's wrong, Master Liu" I turned my head to ask him.
The moment we stopped, the clattering of the digging ceased instantly.
The beggar, Liu, had his eyes closed. His ears twitched back and forth, as if he were listening intently for some sound.
Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open! He turned and shone his flashlight upwards!
At this moment, the beam of the powerful flashlight shone like a spotlight, illuminating a single figure with pinpoint accuracy!
We see someone clinging to the cliff face like a lizard, upside down, staring straight at us!
Just glanced at it...
I took a few steps back, my whirlwind shovel slipping from my grasp with a clatter to the ground.
I trembled and pointed at the cliff face, saying, "An... An Researcher!"
On the rock face, Dr. An was hunched over with her hair falling in front of her face, obscuring her features from view.
"This outfit belongs to Dr. An! I recognized it immediately, how could this be She was dead before!" My face turned pale as a sheet, I was scared out of my wits.
Hong Jie looked over there, her face also filled with fear. Because she, just like me, had personally seen Dr. An's body.
"What the hell!" Yao Yumen gritted her teeth and cursed, she pulled out her pistol, without even looking, fired two shots!
Bang bang!
A bullet missed its mark, striking the rock face. In the darkness, the bullet and the hard rock wall collided, sparking fire from their impact.
An researcher, sprawled on the rock face, suddenly moved like a gecko, climbing down the wall with surprising speed!
"Watch out!" he bellowed, raising his cyclone shovel as a weapon.
An researcher moved too fast, her handheld flashlight moving quickly with her.
"Bang bang!" Yao Yumen fired two more shots, both hitting their mark. Dr. An's body merely trembled, his speed not slowing in the slightest. In a blink of an eye, he climbed to Yao Yumen's face.
"Jade, watch out!" I didn't have time to be afraid. I shouted and picked up the cyclone shovel, whacking it at the thing's head!
"
“Crack!” I felt like I hit something harder than a human skull! It was as hard as stone!
The recoil jolted my wrist, and I almost lost my grip on the shovel.
"
In that instant, I saw clearly.
"This is still some little scared beauty, An Researcher!"
This thing's face is as white as a piece of paper soaked in tree sap. Her facial veins are purple-black, and her eyes are all whites! Also, now Dr. An's mouth is wide open and won't close. Her exposed teeth are black, and there is constantly some black liquid dripping from the corners of her mouth.
"Beast!"
At the crucial moment, the old man from Xiangxi roared angrily. He took out a rope from his indigo cloth bag, quickly looped it at one end, and then flung it forward!
Impartial and objective, the rope encircled Dr. An's neck like a noose!
Quickly winding the rope around his hand a few times, the old man from Xiangxi pulled hard, and the rope instantly tightened!
"What are you still standing there for!" the old man shouted at me.usly.I was surprised to find that this person's eyes now seemed a little different from before. It was an indescribable feeling.He lowered his head to look at the pile of fish bones on the ground, the...
