"Let's look for any records about this flame," Huo Jilin said.

Everyone started to search.

"Found it!" Hu Bayi shouted excitedly.

He held a book that recorded the secrets of the flame in the ancient tomb.

"It turns out that this is an ancient fire prevention mechanism. As long as a specific position is touched, it will cause a flame."

Hu Bayi said.

Huo Jilin said, "Then we have to find a way to shut down the mechanism quickly."

After some effort, they finally found the hub to shut down the mechanism.

Huo Jilin took a deep breath, "Let me try."

He slowly turned the hub, the flame gradually went out, and the ancient tomb returned to peace.

Wang Kaixuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Finally got it done, but I'm exhausted."

Everyone walked out of the ancient tomb, and the boss had been waiting outside.

"Thank you all, you really helped a lot." The boss said excitedly.

Huo Jilin smiled and said, "Boss, you're polite, this is what we should do."

Just when everyone thought the crisis was resolved and was ready to breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened.

There was only a "gurgling" sound coming from all directions, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Oh no, the water in this ancient tomb has started to rise again!" Wang Kaixuan shouted in horror.

Huo Jilin frowned, his eyes full of worry, "The fire is gone, and the water is coming. This situation is getting more complicated."

Hu Bayi looked at the rising water level and said anxiously:

"This is not a solution. We have to find the reason for the rising water quickly, otherwise we will all be drowned here."

Everyone's mood suddenly became heavy again, and the heart that had just been put down was raised to the throat again.

"There is no way, we can only continue to enter to find the reason." Huo Jilin gritted his teeth and said with determination.

"But this is too dangerous!" A team member said in a trembling voice.

Huo Jilin looked at everyone with a firm gaze, "We have to go even if it is dangerous. We can't just sit there and wait for death. Everyone be careful and follow me closely."

Everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Huo Jilin into the ancient tomb again.

At this time, the passage of the ancient tomb had been flooded by water for the most part, and they could only wade through the water with difficulty.

The water was freezing cold, and every step was very difficult.

Huo Jilin walked in front, holding a torch in his hand, carefully observing the surrounding situation.

"Everyone, pay attention to your feet, be careful not to slip." He kept reminding the people behind him.

Wang Kaixuan complained as he walked: "What kind of hell is this place, with fire and water, it's so unlucky."

Hu Bayi said: "Don't complain, the key is to find the cause quickly."

The water was getting deeper and deeper, and it had already submerged their waists.

"I feel it's difficult to breathe." A team member said.

Huo Jilin encouraged: "Hold on, you will find a way out soon."

Suddenly, a fork appeared in front, and the water formed a vortex at the fork.

"Which way should we go?" Wang Kaixuan asked.

Huo Jilin thought for a moment, "The water flow on the left is faster, which may be the source of the rising water. Let's go to the left."

Everyone followed Huo Jilin into the passage on the left, and the impact of the water became stronger and stronger.

They had to grab the raised part of the wall to barely stabilize their bodies.

"The power of this water is too great, I can't hold it anymore." A team member shouted.

"Hold on, don't let go!" Huo Jilin shouted loudly.

Hu Bayi swam hard to the team member, "I'll help you."

With the help of everyone, they finally passed this difficult journey.

However, the water level in front was still rising and was almost reaching the top of their heads.

"What should we do? If this continues, we will be submerged." Wang Kaixuan's voice was full of despair.

Huo Jilin looked around and suddenly found a vent above his head.

"Look, there is a vent there, let's swim up and take a look." Huo Jilin said.

Everyone swam towards the vent.

Hu Bayi was the first to reach the vent. He pushed hard, "This vent is blocked."

"Everyone push together!" Huo Jilin shouted.

Everyone worked together and finally pushed away the obstacles in the vent.

They climbed into the vent one by one and temporarily avoided the rising water.

"Huh, I can finally take a breath." Wang Kaixuan said as he slumped on the ground.

Huo Jilin said, "Don't relax too early. We still have to find the cause of the rising water."

The vent was narrow and dark, filled with a damp and moldy smell.

They groped forward cautiously.

"There seems to be some sound here." Hu Bayi said.

Huo Jilin stopped and listened carefully. "It seems to be the sound of water flowing. We follow the sound."Go in the direction of the sound."

After walking for a while, they found a huge water chamber, and water was pouring in from the cracks in the wall.

"It turns out that this is leaking." Huo Jilin said.

Wang Kaixuan said: "Then how do we block this crack?"

Huo Jilin observed the surroundings and said, "See if there is anything that can be used to block the crack."

Everyone began to search in the water chamber and finally found a huge stone slab.

"Everyone, lift the stone slab over." Huo Jilin commanded.

After a lot of effort, everyone finally lifted the stone slab to the crack and successfully blocked the leak.

The water level gradually stopped rising, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally solved." Hu Bayi said.

Huo Jilin smiled tiredly, "This time it was really a life-and-death struggle."

Everyone returned along the original route and walked out of the ancient tomb.

Huh!

The boss who entrusted them came up in a hurry.

"Heroes, how is the situation? "The boss asked anxiously.

Huo Jilin wiped the sweat and stains on his face and said:

"Boss, the source of the flood has been found and temporarily blocked.

But this ancient tomb may need to be repaired to completely solve the hidden dangers. "

The boss nodded repeatedly and said gratefully:

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I can get rid of this worry."

Wang Kaixuan sat on the ground and gasped.

"Boss, I almost lost my life this time. You have to pay me more."

The boss hurriedly responded: "Of course, of course!"

Hu Bayi looked at the exhausted people and said: "Everyone take a rest first and return to the escort agency after recovering some strength."

Just then, a group of people came from a distance, led by a man in luxurious clothes.

The man walked closer and said sarcastically:

"Hey, isn't this the hero Huo? How come you took on such a difficult job? "

Huo Jilin looked up and his face darkened: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao. What we do has nothing to do with you?"

Mr. Zhao sneered: "Humph, I was the first to see this ancient tomb, but I didn't expect you to be the first to see it."

Wang Kaixuan jumped up when he heard it.

"What do you mean you saw it first? We were entrusted by the boss to solve the problem openly."

The followers behind Mr. Zhao also followed suit: "That's right, don't think you are great."

Hu Bayi stopped Wang Kaixuan and said: "Mr. Zhao, everyone makes a living based on their own abilities, why are you so aggressive?"

Mr. Zhao glared at Hu Bayi: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk back to me?"

Huo Jilin took a step forward and looked directly at Mr. Zhao: "Mr. Zhao, if you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude. "

Mr. Zhao was shocked by Huo Jilin's momentum and softened his tone: "Humph, you are lucky this time, let's wait and see."

After that, he left with his followers.
