In the silent space, only the intermittent gasps of the three people remained, and the thrilling experience above was like a dream.

Ji Xinxi stood up and looked at Xun Youling beside him by the light of the flashlight from Jiangqiao, but he saw Xun Youling sitting pale on the ground with his eyes staring at the ground absentmindedly.

Seeing Xun Youling like this, Ji Xin was taken aback for a moment. She sat up and reached out to touch Xun Youling's shoulder lightly. Feeling a slight tremor under her hand, she frowned and called softly, "Xun Youling?"

Seeing that Xun Youling didn't respond, she changed her sitting position and half-kneeled in front of Xun Youling, stretched out her hand to caress the other's cheek, feeling the smoothness of wet water stains and the coolness of her frozen hands, she forced Xun Youling to raise her eyes slightly Facing himself, he asked again: "Xun Youling, are you okay?"

Xun Youling's slack eyes focused on Ji Xinxi's face again, she lowered her head again without saying a word, then quickly reached out and brushed her wet hair back, and said with a smile, "I'm fine."

Looking at the weak smile on her face and the red mark on her forehead, Ji Xinxi said with twinkling eyes, "That's good, I'm a little nervous, let me hold you." The hand slid down, and took the other's hand that was hanging by the side.

"...I can only borrow you for a while." Xun Youling's body trembled slightly, turned his head and whispered unnaturally, then held Ji Xinxi's hand back, feeling his cold body gradually warming up.

On the other side, like Jiang Qiao who finally recovered his breath, he rolled over on the ground and lay on his back, and said with emotion: "I really don't want to take such an exciting adventure again."

Then, he sat up again and said nervously, "Should we leave here quickly, if they chase after us later, wouldn't we be done playing?"

"It's okay. When I came down just now, I took a look at the landslide. Not only this road, but also many large and small forks. We were lucky to fall together. Now the road above is probably partly crushed. It's blocked, and it will take a lot of work for them to get down, let alone find us." Xun Youling replied with his back leaning against the wall.

Ji Xinxi glanced sideways at her. The red mark on Xun Youling's head should be the result of being injured by the gravel at that time in order to take a risky look at the terrain. She didn't say a word, secretly glad that the two of them changed their clothes before, and she took off the backpack on her back. , this kind of mountaineering bag made of exquisite materials, because they put it behind them, made a series of scratches on the gravel that came down all the way. It is conceivable that if the back directly touched the rock surface at that time, it would have been gone by now. Half-life.

"That's good, that's good. I finally got rid of them, and I can take a breather." Hearing Xun Youling's words, Jiang Qiao put his heart back into his stomach, pulled his backpack aside, and lay down again. on the ground.

Now that she can relax a little bit, Ji Xinxi took out the flashlight in her backpack to light it up, and began to observe where they are now. They should be in one of the tombs of this ancient tomb, not so much a tomb. Said it was like a transit station, because Ji Xinxi took a flashlight to look around, and found that there were five closed stone doors around them.

The nearest stone gate to her is just over one meter away on her right. The stone gate stood there quietly, but the white light made people feel uncomfortable for no reason. Ji Xixi looked away and did not Look more, after confirming the four weeks, she refocused her eyes on the water pool they just fell in front of them.

Only then did I realize that this water pool is not a complete water pool. There is a platform in the middle of the water pool, and there is a huge stone tripod on the platform, and the water pool is divided into three parts by the surrounding roads leading to the stone tripod.

Seeing such a scene, Ji Xinxi also raised his eyebrows a little gratefully, and Xun Youling beside her also followed her flashlight to observe the surroundings, and at this time also said: "Hey, we really have no luck. Three fell down, all of them hit the pool, and none of them died.”

When Ji Xin heard Xun Youling's words, she knew that she had returned to her usual heartless appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Although she would feel annoying occasionally, but now she felt a sense of peace of mind when she heard it, and she couldn't help but retort. Said: "Maybe it's my good deeds, someone probably just took my credit."

"Hey, it's terrible, Ji Xinxi, you are getting more and more terrible now, but it's because of your hard work to save me..." When Xun Youling said this, his voice suddenly dropped down.

Ji Xinxi was using a flashlight to shine on Xun Youling's other side, when suddenly she felt a voice in the darkness whispering next to her ear, "Thank you."

Unexpectedly, hearing Xun Youling's sincere thanks, she seemed to be a little ashamed, her voice was soft, and other senses were amplified in the darkness, Ji Xinxi only felt her ears burning, and she immediately let go in shock. He took Xun Youling's hand and covered his ears, and the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground.

"Ji Xinxi, what do you mean?" Xun Youling didn't expect that it was rare for her to show her sincerity, and Ji Xinxi had such a reaction.

Ji Xinxi could also hear the embarrassment in Xun Youling's voice. She just reacted subconsciously and didn't think too much. At this moment, she was about to explain, when Jiang Qiao over there suddenly interrupted: "En? What's the matter? What's the matter?" ? Is there something wrong with you there?"

"It's okay, Ji Xin used to have a habit of throwing things, and her hands were itchy just now." Xun You replied with a half-smile.

"..." Ji Xinxi picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground, pursed his lips speechlessly, and did not refute Xun Youling's words.

"The habit of throwing things? Then Ji Xinxi, your family should be quite rich, otherwise your habit cannot be cultivated by ordinary people." Jiang Qiao said half-jokingly.

Ji Xinxi paused with the hand holding the flashlight, and replied, "I am an orphan and grew up in an orphanage."

There was a little collision sound over there, followed by Jiang Qiao's slightly apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't mean anything else."

"I know." Ji Xinxi replied lightly.

"Then what, I wanted to say it before, Ji Xinxi, have you ever learned some martial arts like taekwondo? I was taken aback when you smashed that head against the wall. You're so handsome! When will you teach me?" Two tricks." Jiang Qiao quickly changed the subject, trying to dispel the embarrassment just now.

The expression on Ji Xinxi's face was in a daze for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said: "I don't know much about martial arts, but I used to fight with people when I was young. If you want to win the opponent, you have to be more ruthless than him."

"Cough, cough, cough!" There was a coughing sound from Jiangqiao, and he also heard the hidden meaning in Ji Xin's old words. Living in an orphanage but often fighting with others, he also knew that it was not a good memory. Really careless.

"Tsk, when you fell down just now, you should have stuck your head on the ground. Ji Xinxi followed me, that's my person. She is the happiest person in the world with me covering her. After all, beauty and talent like me are equal. Not everyone can get those people." Xun Youling said loudly.

Ji Xinxi smiled helplessly, and replied, "Thank you, but there is no need. I really can't stand a perfect person like you."

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha, Xun Youling, I've never seen such a narcissistic person like you." Jiang Qiao's mocking sound resounded in the tomb.

Xun Youling rolled his eyes in the dark, lamented Jiang Qiao's low EQ, and said casually, "Then don't regret it." This ended the topic.

Although I was wearing a waterproof jacket outside, because it was not sealed, the clothes inside were still wet when I was underwater just now, and it was very uncomfortable to be stuffed inside at the moment. The special environment is not so much to pay attention to now.

"But speaking of it, what's the matter with those rats up there? Where did they come from? And you heard that female voice, right? This place is really evil, don't the people who usually live here Don't you care? That's a rat that eats people!" After the chat, Jiang Qiao returned to the previous topic.

Xun Youling got up with the flashlight and moved around, "According to my speculation, the rats above should have come out of this ancient tomb, so before this ancient tomb was discovered, the villagers didn't know the existence of these rats." , probably don’t know yet.”

"Besides, because the ancient tomb has been sealed underground and there has been no light for a long time, the mice here should have also been mutated to a certain extent, so they will only appear in the middle of the night and become so aggressive. The mice walked through and dug a lot of small passages, which gradually led to it."

"The previous archaeological team was probably attacked by rats at night, but we didn't see bloodstains or corpses in the camp, so they should have fled into the ancient tomb in a hurry like us, and then were trapped in the tomb. Here."

"As for the female voice, I can't give a definite answer yet, but the only certainty is that she must be related to this ancient tomb. If she is really a spirit body, then her actions will not be restricted like humans. Obstacles like gravel above cannot stop her at all, unless there are formations and mechanisms on the outer layer of the tomb, otherwise she might be watching us somewhere at this moment."

"Xun Youling, are you sure what you say? Don't scare me! No, I'm too far away from you, and I'm a bit uncertain!" Jiang Qiao said, planning to get up and get closer to Ji Xinxi and the others.

At this moment, Ji Xinxi saw a flash of fire suddenly flashing behind Jiang Qiao, and then it started to burn, and then such flames lit up one after another, immediately illuminating the entire tomb with bright lights.

Ji Xinxi also saw clearly that what was lit was actually the oil lamp on the wall of the tomb. The oil lamp suddenly ignited without the three of them touching it. Ji Xinxi got up and walked to Xun Youling's side, looking around vigilantly.

Jiang Qiao was holding his own backpack and kept looking around. Suddenly, he had a clever mind and said in a trembling voice: "Xun Youling, you said that the archaeological team is here, so, where are they?"
