Chapter 297: Ghost Vine in the Way
When the stone gate opened, everyone was ready for battle, and after seeing the dried corpses, they were afraid of encountering that kind of disgusting and terrifying opponent again, especially those bugs, they really didn't want to encounter them again. Eight?? δΈ?Chinese.com ?.
However, it was quiet inside the stone gate, and Cumber looked in front of him, told everyone that there was no danger, and walked in first.
When everyone went in, it was empty, as if it had been looted, empty.
"There won't be any hidden mechanism in this, right?" The stone chamber was empty, but it was difficult to reassure, so Ye Mingcheng looked left and right, not knowing whether to move forward or not.
There was nothing special about this stone chamber except for a small pool in the middle, and the water in that pool was so clear that there was no danger in sight.
"I'll go take a look. Jiang Ming said, stepping forward, among the crowd, there is really no more suitable for exploring the way than him.
All the way to the side of the pool, there was no abnormality, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Jiang Ming looked at the stone slab under his feet, but he didn't dare to relax a little, because there were still blood stains left in the gaps of the slate pattern, which showed that there were also dead people here.
Cautiously walking around the pool, when he reached the center of the stone room, he suddenly looked to the right, only to see more than a dozen fierce beasts rushing quickly, lions, tigers, leopards and bears everything, he did not hesitate to draw his sword and cut out!
With a swing of the sword, his heart sank, and the tiger that was stabbed by him did not receive any damage, and continued to pounce on him quickly.
He stood with his sword in hand, no longer fighting back, letting the beasts pounce on him, and then ......
The beasts are gone!
After a while, another beast pounced, and as soon as it touched his body, it disappeared, or as soon as it ran to the edge of the pool, it disappeared.
What a real illusion!
Jiang Ming was a little emotional, after all, even his eyes had been deceived at the beginning.
"That guy is stupid, what's the hell about a pile of white bones?" Ye Mingcheng was still happy to see Jiang Ming embarrassed.
When Jiang Ming walked to the middle of the pool, the stone walls on both sides of the stone chamber moved away, revealing many thick wooden cages, which were full of the bones of some fierce beasts.
When he saw this, Zhou Qijin and they were all pouting, thinking that King Cheng was really whimsical, and he actually wanted these fierce beasts to guard the tomb for him, didn't he know that no matter how fierce the beast was, it wouldn't live for a hundred years?
However, just as they were laughing at King Cheng, Jiang Ming suddenly drew his sword and stabbed at the air, and then stood still, which really puzzled everyone.
"What he saw should have been different from ours, but he came to his senses quickly...... Everyone should be careful for a while, and it is better not to be afraid of anything, it may be a hallucination. Yi Guanli saw Jiang Ming's reaction and immediately thought of the reason.
Illusions are still very novel, so when she said this, everyone looked at Jiang Ming, wondering how he would react next.
However, after reading it, everyone was a little disappointed, because Jiang Ming had no extra movements except for turning around in place, and walked directly to the opposite side, and finally walked back.
Jiang Ming returned to everyone, only to see the wooden cage beast bones on both sides, once he stepped into the stone slab of the stone room, those things could not be seen, only the illusion of various fierce beasts, fangs and claws, fierce pounces.
"Give me a rope that's enough to pull to the other side. "Jiang Ming came back to take something.
"Will you get lost in the middle?" Yi Guanli guessed the reason.
"Hmm. Jiang Ming nodded, "I'll pull the rope to the opposite side in a while, you guys hold the rope over, don't be afraid of anything you see." β
The bodyguard found a long rope and handed it to him, while he and his companion grabbed the other end.
Jiang Ming grabbed the rope with one hand and stretched out to Murong Jianxin with the other, "I'll take you over." β
The illusion can be big or small, Jiang Ming is not sure if what others see is the same as him, and whether he will be able to withstand that kind of fear from the depths of his soul when the time comes, so for the sake of safety, it is better for him to take Murong Jianxin away.
"Oh. Murong Jianxin stretched out his hand to hold it for him, looked at others, and was slightly embarrassed.
"It's really eccentric. Gao Han was the first to speak out to express his dissatisfaction.
"He's always been like that. Meng Xiaopei followed closely and added.
Jiang Mingcai didn't care what they thought, he directly pulled Murong Jianxin and left.
"Alas, this guy's problem of valuing sex and ignoring friends is probably never going to change. Ye Mingcheng was not willing to be lonely.
When he walked to the center of the stone chamber again, the fierce beast that pounced suddenly turned into a Hu soldier wielding a scimitar or riding a horse.
Illusions change with the state of mind!
Jiang Ming sighed lightly, he had strong willpower, he was unmoved, just tightened Murong Jianxin's hand and strode forward.
But Murong Jianxin's hands trembled so badly that he felt a little curious, what did this little girl see, how could she be afraid of being like this?
With his senses, Jiang Ming walked smoothly to the opposite side, and when he looked back, he could see his companions on the opposite side, as well as the wooden cage beast bones on both sides, and the straightened rope.
After taking a look at it and feeling that there was nothing wrong, he went to look at Murong Jianxin, but there was no fear on her face, but a little excited, as if she had seen something that made her feel happy.
Could it be that her hands were shaking just now, not because she was afraid, but just overexcited?
"What did you just see?" Jiang Ming could ignore others, but he couldn't rest assured about her.
"There were a lot of soldiers fighting, very similar to the scene in my dreams. Murong Jian said excitedly.
"What dream?" Jiang Ming asked curiously.
"Yes...... Murong Jianxin was so excited that she almost blurted out, but she reacted quickly, and she felt that something was wrong, so she immediately braked the car, and then threw a sentence to Jiang Ming, "Girls' secrets, don't ask around." β
"......" Jiang Ming is quite depressed, isn't it just a dream, how can it still be related to secrets?
Could it be the so-called dream girl?
Jiang Ming suddenly guessed a possibility, if this was the case, he would want to know what kind of dream she had, in his previous life and in this life, he didn't know who Xiaoyi liked, how could he not be curious?
It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to talk to girls, so he can only stand there and speculate.
Because the rope was bolted, everyone quickly came over, but when passing through the central area, everyone behaved differently, and one of the bodyguards even drew a gun to shoot, but fortunately his companion stopped it in time, so he didn't accidentally hurt anyone.
People who saw this scene only then felt the horror of the illusion, and they couldn't help but do such a dangerous behavior when they knew it was an illusion, which shows that the brain is sometimes uncontrollable.
Among them, Yiguanli is the most calm from beginning to end, which shows the strength of its psychological quality. Ye Mingcheng, on the other hand, was excited, and stretched out his hand to scratch in the air from time to time, which showed how heartless he was.
Meng Xiaopei's performance was a little strange, she was actually red-faced and slightly ashamed. Gao Han was the opposite, pulling his clothes from time to time, looking smug, I don't know what they saw.
When I walked through this illusion room and walked into the tomb, the stone door behind it was automatically closed, and I couldn't find the opening mechanism.
All in all, don't think about leaving!
The only thing thankful for is that none of the bugs ever appeared.
Soon they entered another stone chamber, which was no longer empty, with ten giant elephants lined up on either side, and in the middle of them was a lotus pond with an arched bridge connecting the two sides, which looked like a passage to welcome the dignitaries.
It's just that the opposite side of the arch bridge is a black tomb road, which makes this magnificent atmosphere a little fly in the ointment, quite a bit anticlimactic, and a little less atmospheric.
"Do you think King Cheng has the meaning of welcoming guests?" Whenever you enter the new stone room, it is basically Ye Mingcheng's question time.
"It's for a guest, and he wants to send us to hell. Zhou Qijin looked at the bodyguard on the side, "Let the car go first." β
So the rover slowly drove up the arch bridge with the dummy, and when the car drove to the center of the arch bridge, it heard a cry of "moo", and the giant elephant's trunk actually spewed water, covering the entire bridge deck like a shower.
The dried stems under the water were thrown out like long whips, striking the dummy until it was whipped into the pool, and then the stems swarmed up and pulled the dummy to the bottom.
At this time, the giant elephant stopped spraying, and many of the lotus stems returned to their original appearance.
From the beginning of their change to the end, it is only a few tens of seconds.
"It's wet again, and it's whipping again, this king is really heavy. "Ye Mingcheng's thinking is always different from everyone's.
However, no one paid attention to him, but urged the bodyguards to drive the car back.
When the car came back, even Ye Mingcheng was dumbfounded, those cars that were doped with a lot of composite materials were actually eroded by those liquids, and they were seriously damaged in many places.
"Rub, those elephants actually spray sulfuric acid!" Ye Mingcheng felt a big headache, how can people go? I'm afraid that before they get to the other side, people will be almost corroded, even if they are not rolled into the pool water, it is estimated that they will not survive.
"It's not sulfuric acid, it's just plant secretions. Zhou Qijin pointed to the lotus stem in the pool, "Presumably Miss Yi should know better than me what this is." β
Yi Guanli nodded slightly, "It should be the legendary 'Devil Crying Vine', born in the dark, fond of water and light, feeding on various creatures, and its secretions are extremely corrosive. It is said to have been extinct for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to still exist here. β
"It looks like a flower stem, how can it be a vine?" Meng Xiaopei looked left and right, and felt like a flower stem left behind by the fall of a lotus flower.
"That's just its disguise, and there's a main vine underneath that can wrap the elephant around and hang it...... It seems that we are in trouble, this bridge is not easy!" Yi Guanli knew that this vine was terrible, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
"What weaknesses does it have?" Jiang Ming firmly believes that there can be no invulnerable existence in the world.
"It is afraid of the sun's rays, as long as it pierces the top of the stone above and draws the light down, it will not attack itself. "Yi Guanli knows how to crack it, but so what? Can they poke a hole in the mountain?
