Here, on both sides of the entire sluice gate, a huge statue appears in the field of vision!
This statue depicts a very special kind of monster, which looks like a lion, but actually has two more legs, and a vertical eye between the eyebrows on the top of the head, making the shape extremely ferocious. It has a ghostly aura!
"This should be the totem believed by the ancestors of the emperor buried here! A six-legged lion, a three-eyed stone lion? To be honest, I've never seen one before!"
Mr. Fei said with a frown!
He originally thought that he could find some clues from these stone carvings, but he didn't expect that this was actually the emperor of a special civilization, or a special country that believed in totems.
This kind of lion statue is really rare!
"After so many years of water erosion, this sluice gate seems to be no longer tight. There are non-parallel erosion marks at the bottom! Look... this place is big enough for a person to crawl in!"
Mr. Fei put the flashlight into the water under his feet and illuminated the gap below the sluice gate. There is an old saying that water dripping wears away a stone. It is unknown how long this sluice gate has existed, but the cave here has not been flooded by water for long!
Over the years, the passage of time has worn away the stone. The gap under the sluice gate was originally only a very narrow one, but now it has been eroded to a height of 30 to 40 centimeters. This scene is quite amazing. One cannot help but sigh that this place probably has a very long history!
"Could it be many years ago? Someone has been here before..." Brother Chongzi frowned and said, "I often see water holes like this. If the water flow is to have such a strong impact and to create such a big gap here, I think it would take at least one or two thousand years. Could it be that this place has been here for one or two thousand years?"
Mr. Fei also asked with some concern: "If someone blasted this place decades ago, there should be traces. There are no traces of excavation around, all of which are smooth curves left after the water flow. I think your concerns are wrong. But it is not ruled out that there are other creatures in this place that have widened the cave entrance! If there are some tiny traces, the groundwater is rich in minerals, and the traces above will be wiped away quickly."
After listening to Mr. Fei's analysis, no one dared to take it lightly.
"Do you have any more cold fireworks? Throw two over. If there really is something there, it will definitely be attracted by the flames."
Mr. Jiang Hai is the commander!
Brother Chongzi nodded immediately, and he asked his men to take off a backpack from his back, which was full of cold fireworks.
There were forty or fifty of them at the end of the month. These cold flames were taken from the dead bodies in the village because he knew that he had no way out this time.
Before Marsson left, he left all his equipment behind, so whether it was cold fireworks, explosives, or guns and ammunition, Brother Chongzi and his men had no shortage of them.
Even Zhang Fan and others were assigned a night vision goggles to use when crossing in extremely harsh environments.
"Throw it over!"
Brother Chongzi pulled out his pistol, loaded the bullet, and gave an order to the men beside him.
"Okay!" Brother Chongzi's men lit up the cold flame, and then threw it hard at the side opening below!
The surface of the cold firework was made of very light plastic, which had a very strong buoyancy, so after it was thrown through the sluice gate underwater, it quickly emitted a large amount of light. And the light was still moving upwards, illuminating part of the space inside.
From this, everyone saw the thickness of the gate and the thickness of the stone gate. Even Mr. Fei was amazed.
"It's amazing... This sluice gate is nearly one meter thick. Even if we use all the explosives, we can't make a hole here. But the water flow can do it. The space below is enough for us to pass through, and there seems to be very deep water on the other side."
Hear Mr. Fei's explanation.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
Now they have reached a very critical position. If the road ahead is blocked, it will be very stressful for them. Fortunately, there is still a way to go. As long as they pass through here, this very difficult mountain to climb can be passed without any danger.
"Everyone, I won't waste my words... We are now in the same boat. I am not well educated. I don't have any real skills! But I am better than you in one aspect, that is, I am braver! I will go in first to explore the way... I just hope that you don't think of me as an outsider. After all, I am doing a life-threatening business."
Brother Chongzi stood up, took off his backpack, shook his neck, and swept his eyes over the faces of Zhang Fan and others.
Mr. Jiang Hai nodded: "I choose to believe you!"
Brother Chongzi exhaled, then put his backpack on the shore and dived into the water.
The water here was extremely cold and piercing, instantly drowning Brother Chongzi. This made him shiver uncontrollably, but at least he had some skills. He forced himself not to let out this breath, but he did feel a little unhappy.
"Damn old man, who do you think you are? It sounds like you won't live much longer... After you die, I will take revenge on you for targeting me all this time!"
Brother Chongzi thought angrily while drilling towards the gap!
Here, the water flow has washed out a passage about two people wide. What is very strange is that the cracks in the rocks in other places have not expanded as large as here, but have retained the same appearance as thousands of years ago.
"This is really weird. Could it be that this tomb originally formed a whirlpool? The water flow has been swirling here for a long time, and then it forcibly opened a hole here? This doesn't make sense... The whirlpools are always big at the top and small at the bottom, so the structure should be similar to a cone! Why is it thicker at the front and back?"
He felt something was wrong. Before entering the water channel, he felt a strong suction force. He immediately kicked the stone door, escaped from the whirlpool, and then drilled out from the water.
"How about it?"
Everyone asked worriedly!
Brother Chongzi wiped the water off his face and said, "The water channel below is thicker on both sides, I always feel something is wrong... I didn't dare to rush through! But if we pass through, we will have no problem at all!"
Mr. Fei rubbed his hands and said, "If that's the case, let's not wait any longer and just go in the water!"
The others nodded as well. Old Master Jiang Hai said, "Your guns are not very effective underwater. Everyone should carry a dagger and turn off the safety of all guns to avoid hurting your own people!"
