The Panying Sword fell inch by inch under my push, and Shengyu's sternum also broke under the blade. The moment the hilt of the sword had touched the edge of the golden coffin, the high platform under our feet suddenly sank straight to the ground as if the sky had collapsed.

Ye Xun and Tao Xiyu were just about to jump, but I reached out and dragged the two of them back: "Don't move, follow the coffin." ”

As the two of us stared blankly at my face, the stone platform under our feet suddenly sped up, like a runaway elevator, and sank into the ground with a piercing grinding sound.

"Be careful!" I abruptly held my head in my hands and leaned against the edge of the golden coffin with my knees slightly bent. Before I could fully stand still, the stone platform carrying the golden coffin had already smashed into the depths of the ground, and the violent impact directly shook me to the ground.

When I let go of my hands and instinctively looked overhead, the seven black foxes guarding the edge of the coffin opened their eyes at the same moment, and the bloody light in their eyes was like sharp arrows shooting into the cave, and the iron sheets on the black foxes exploded from the inside out.

In an instant, the black fox's front paws burst out of the statue, but what I saw was a human hand with claws like knives.

With just one pause, the hands that broke free from the statue flipped ten fingers and grabbed at his chest, tearing open the iron sheet wrapped around his body. After two breaths, a black fox that was close to the height of ordinary people rose from the high platform as if it had broken out of its cocoon and become a butterfly, spread its legs like a human, raised its arms angrily, and raised its head to the sky and let out a fox roar.

Ye Xun and I drew our swords out of their sheaths at the same time, and the giant fox standing on the high platform jumped up, and its claws fell down on top of our heads like lightning.

I was always standing on the edge of the coffin, and the hole in the ground where the golden coffin fell was not much wider than the coffin, and I stood in place, unable to borrow the strength of my feet, unable to withstand the full force of the opponent after falling from the sky.

I pulled out my sword with both feet, and I rose from the ground and fell into the coffin first. The two leg bones of the female corpse in the coffin broke at my feet, and my feet also sank down three inches.

There is a trap!

The moment I felt myself stepping on the coffin board into the ground, a chilling horror flashed through me.

Before I could look at the soles of my feet, I saw two sluice gates poking out of the hole.

The two gates flew out one left and one right, like two steel knives colliding against each other, and in the blink of an eye, they slammed shut above my head, and the giant fox that fell from the sky crashed into the iron plate without accident.

The first loud sound of the fox's claws striking the iron door flashed, and the loud sound of Jingo's resonance erupted one after another above my head, and in just a few moments, paw prints were revealed on the iron plate that was several inches thick. It didn't take long for the giant fox to grab the iron plate and descend again.

I immediately put away my long knife and drew Magnum, aimed my gun in both hands at the place where the paw prints were most dense, and raised my gun to shoot just before the iron plate opened.

What I didn't expect was that before the giant fox could scratch through the iron plate, there was a rustling sound in the air like flowing water, and then the sound of the sand beating like the rain fell above our heads, and the movement of the fox's claws tearing the iron also stopped abruptly.

"Oh no! it's a quicksand formation!" Tao Xiyu's face suddenly turned pale.

Grave robbers are most afraid of quicksand. Many tombs will pour quicksand above the tomb, once a tomb robber accidentally steps on the mechanism, the broken dragon stone hidden in the tomb road immediately blocks the tomb door, and the quicksand on the top of the tomb will also fall, re-burying the tomb, and the tomb robber's fate can only become the tomb owner's funerary goods.

The quicksand array may seem clumsy, but it is the most dangerous mechanism in the tomb, and no tomb robber has ever been able to escape from the quicksand array.

The sound that came from the iron plate just now was clearly the movement of spilling gravel.

My face was also extremely difficult to see. If we are buried in the quicksand formation, what if the fox mother blows up the tomb?

How much air can be stored in such a small space? When the fox mother searched, all she saw was four corpses that had been suffocated to death.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but after just a few seconds, I felt my chest full of stale, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of my head layer after layer.

Ye Xun's face was not very good-looking: "Slow down your breathing, and hold on as long as you can." ”

I slowly withdrew my long knife and jumped out of the coffin: "Don't be idle yet, look for any mechanisms nearby." I always felt like it was ...... here."

While I was talking, there was a sudden sound of stone shattering from under Xia Qingqing's feet. After the sound of the gravel grazing through the cracks in the bricks and falling to the ground reached my ears, I instinctively shouted "Be careful" and reached out and dragged Xia Qingqing to the side - Xia Qingqing must have stepped on the mechanism, otherwise, the stone under her feet would not have sunk to the ground.

Before Xia Qingqing could stand firmly, a secret door opened on the walls at both ends of the coffin at the same time, and after the convective air swept into the hole in the ground through the door, I finally let out the stuffy breath in my chest.

The two secret rooms before and after the coffin, no matter the furnishings or size, are all exactly the same, especially the two lamp holders in the middle of the secret room, even the height of the flames is the same.

If it weren't for the fact that there was air flowing between the two chambers, I would have thought that one of the chambers was a reflection of a mirror.

Ye Xun suddenly drew his knife and pointed at Xia Qingqing: "Which way should I go?"

Xia Qingqing was slightly stunned before he said coldly: "Which way to go, you should judge for yourself." I said go the way to the end of the coffin, do you believe it?"

Ye Xun's eyes were cold, but Xia Qingqing was unmoved.

Ye Xun suspected that Xia Qingqing was not out of nowhere, but I didn't think that Xia Qingqing was the one who controlled the mechanism.

I gently pressed Ye Xun's long knife: "Go ahead." ”

I strode into the chamber, and the coffin behind me suddenly slid straight to the room in the opposite direction without anyone touching it. By the time I could react, the thousand-pound golden coffin had already slid into the center of the chamber and hit the lampholder standing on the ground.

The oil on the lamp fell to the ground under the impact of the golden coffin, and fell into the coffin, and the clear oil in the lamp was instantly ignited by the fire, and the flames several feet high were tossed into the air from the golden coffin, and the whole secret room was also red as blood under the reflection of the firelight.

I turned my back and looked at the coffin that was burning with a raging fire: "Ye Xun, you try to shoot an arrow at the edge of the coffin." ”

Ye Xun picked up the crossbow arrow and pulled the tension spring, and the arrow that broke through the air exploded a green brick in the blink of an eye and stuck it upside down on the ground.

The feathers behind the long arrows were still trembling slightly, and suddenly the sound of the bowstring popping in the secret room exploded into pieces, and the overwhelming arrows shot angrily around the coffin from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of arrows like wild grass was spread on the ground.

As far as I could see, each long arrow standing on the ground was more than a meter. This kind of feathered arrow, which grows 30% more than normal arrows, generally needs to be fired with a machine spring, and the power of the explosion is naturally not the same as that of manpower, so each long arrow is shot into the ground as deep as a few inches. If there were people standing next to the coffin, they should have died a long time ago.

I was still secretly marveling at the viciousness of the mechanism in the tomb, and the second wave of arrows rained one after another. This time, the salvo was more violent, and the arrows were replaced with iron hooked blades.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, iron weapons have appeared in China, but the weapons used by the princes to compete for hegemony are still mainly bronze, and the use of iron arrows in a large area is extremely rare. Wu Wang Lu has made a lot of money to build such a secret room.

I waited until the rain of arrows stopped before I said slowly: "Commander Xia, the fox spirit is dead this time, shouldn't you look for the secret in this secret room?"

Xia Qingqing looked at me inexplicably and said, "Are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding. ”

I explained slowly: "From beginning to end, Wu Wang Lu was trying to test whether we were Qingqiu Fox or someone else. ”

I said, "Since he has already determined that Shengyu is a Qingqiu fox and has also set up an ambush on the periphery, why should he use the fox statue to guard the door?"

"Also, if you look closely at the seven foxes surrounding the golden coffin, you will see that they are not actually guarding the remains of Katsuyu, but waiting for Katsuyu's resurrection. ”

From these two points, King Wu always believed that Shengyu could be resurrected through some mysterious ritual. However, this kind of ceremony can only be performed if the corresponding person walks near the coffin, so he deliberately left a long sword that can move back and forth. ”

I turned my head to the opposite chamber, "I bet with you, if I hadn't pushed the sword against the corpse's head, but against the corpse's body, the golden coffin wouldn't have fallen, but would have triggered a nearby trap and buried us all." ”

"Because, from ancient times to the present, people have respected the head, and if it was Katsuyu's companion who came, he would definitely not press the long sword on Katsuyu's face. ”

When Xia Qingqing looked at the secret room opposite, he couldn't help but feel palpitations and said, "What's the matter with the fox that jumped down from above?"

I explained, "That was King Wu's second temptation. When the golden coffin sinks, it will trigger a second mechanism. If I'm not mistaken, the fox above is not some demon or monster, but a well-crafted puppet of the Yanshi. ”

"It's the same thing that I can activate the floodgates in the tunnels. Qingqiu Fox will not jump into the coffin like me and step on Shengyu's body to fight the puppet. Only by trampling on the bones can we stop the puppet falling, otherwise, we will have to play with the seven puppets in a small space. ”

I paused when I said this: "Even so, Wu Wang Lu still refused to rest assured, and set up a third temptation. I reckon that no matter which way we went, the coffin would move in the opposite direction, and eventually hit the oil lamp and be burned to ashes. ”

"If we dare to rescue Shengyu's corpse, the end will be ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and there will be no place to bury you. ”

When I said this, I looked at Xia Qingqing: "King Wu has abolished such a big Zhou chapter to test our identity, it can't be as simple as just trying to give us a way out, right? Now, it's up to you to find the clues left by King Wu. ”
