Chapter 459: Golden Tomb Keeper
There was one on the left and right sides of the tomb, and at this time, Ning Hao couldn't think too much, so he lowered his head and began to look for traces of someone running on the ground.
But many people had died the day before, and there were so many messy footprints on both sides that it was impossible to tell which side had just run by.
"Zhang Dingguan, you get Wang Pengxue out first, and Xu Xiaonan will come with me. ”
Ning Hao didn't dare to delay more, so he chose the tomb road on the right and ran in quickly.
Xu Xiaonan ran out of breath after him, and ran farther and farther away in the cemetery.
This tomb road is relatively rough, and it can be seen that the nomadic people are superficial and ignorant of their cultural heritage, compared to the underground palaces that Ning Hao and the others saw before, this tomb road is simply a dog hole.
After running for at least five or six hundred meters to avoid those puddles, the cemetery path finally changed.
None of the puddles were gone, and the pavement began to stretch upwards. Gradually, the road became steeper and steeper, and it became a 15-degree slope.
Walking here, Ning Hao suddenly felt that the humidity of the air in the tomb was getting bigger and bigger, and water droplets condensed on his hair after a while. And the sour and unpleasant smell in the air was so spicy that it made it a little difficult for both of them to breathe. And there was a dripping sound in front of me, and it seemed that water droplets kept falling on the stone slabs.
After walking a few dozen steps further, it suddenly became clear that a huge space appeared in front of him.
The rays of the wolf's eye flashlight shot out, and on the opposite side was a huge stone beast. The stone beast is more than ten meters tall, with a dog's head and a horse's body, and it is majestic. The two eyes were two pure white stone beads, which looked lifeless and solemn.
Ning Hao just glanced at those two eyeballs, immediately removed the flashlight, and said loudly to Xu Xiaonan,
"You can use a gun, right? Shoot those two eyeballs for me, Lao Tzu suspects that they are also jade. ”
Xu Xiaonan nodded violently, looked at the two jade eyes of the stone beast ruthlessly, and suddenly said in embarrassment,
"Master Hao, I can shoot, but I don't have a gun. ”
The two of them were so big, they broke in without a gun. Ning Hao shook his head depressedly, and now he will go back to get the gun, maybe if he comes back, Zhou Huawen's bones have been gnawed away by those mastiffs.
But the head of this stone beast is about ten meters above the ground, and with this axe in his hand, it is absolutely impossible to reach it.
"Master Hao, don't worry, I also vaguely remember that I have seen this kind of jade record in ancient books. This kind of jade belongs to a kind of jade bubble. It looks transparent, but in fact there is some kind of gas hidden inside. As long as there is enough heat, it will emit a hallucinatory and manic atmosphere. ”
Xu Xiaonan removed the flashlight source and said,
"The ancients inevitably used torches and other thermal light sources to illuminate tombs, and we just shot all the light from the flashlight to cause the gas in the jade to be emitted. As long as we don't use light, there should be no problem. ”
Ning Hao recalled that this was indeed the case at that time, but for the sake of safety, he still used the external aura to swim around his body, and then looked at the other places in the space with a flashlight.
Although this space is only a side burial chamber, the magnificence is also very amazing. The flashlight shines out, and only a little blurry wall can be seen from a distance.
Except for this stone beast standing alone in the tomb, there is nothing to accompany the burial.
Ning Hao and Xu Xiaonan circled around the stone beast, and they didn't see any tomb doors and ear chambers. Not only was there no mastiff found here, but not even a single bone lice were found, and Zhou Huawen didn't seem to have run into this passage.
Xu Xiaonan turned to Ning Hao's side, and said in a hurry,
"Master Hao, let's go back over there to find it, Brother Zhou should have gone to that side. ”
Ning Hao nodded, and was about to turn around, when the flashlight flashed on one of the stone beast's legs.
This beast's foot is at least the size of a round table, and there is a large hole missing in the middle, and the black hole inside is unknown how deep.
The flashlight shines straight in, and there seem to be two shiny things in it that flash away, and then shine into it, only to see a large hole obliquely upward.
"What did you find?" Xu Xiaonan also saw this situation, looked at it in a blink of an eye, and put the flashlight directly into the big hole, and then the flashlight light went up, and his head also stretched in.
"Be careful, Wori, there's living creatures in there. ”
Ning Hao didn't expect Xu Xiaona to be so reckless, so he directly stuck his head in.
The two flashes of resentment just now were obviously the eyes of some kind of animal. If nothing else, it should be the eyes of a winning mastiff.
When Ning Hao grabbed Xu Xiaonan's arm, he suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Master Hao, the inside of this stone beast is empty, and it seems to be pure gold inside." ”
Pure gold!
Ning Hao gasped when he heard this, such a big stone beast, even if it was hollow, it was still a ton of gold. However, the ancients used stones to camouflage the outside, and the inside was all pure gold. This way of accompanying the funeral is indeed very ingenious.
"Master Hao, come and see. ”
Xu Xiaonan knew that even if a huge amount of gold was found in it, it would have nothing to do with his own people. He was only worried about Zhou Huawen's whereabouts, and asked Ning Hao to see if he needed to go in to find his whereabouts.
Ning Hao saw that Xu Xiaonan was fine, and half of his hanging heart fell. He was also anxious about Zhou Huawen's whereabouts, if this guy broke into here, but he couldn't see anyone. It is very likely that these elusive weary beasts were dragged into the stone beasts.
Xu Xiaonan got out of the way, and Ning Hao held the flashlight and stuck his head into the big hole.
When I looked up, the inside of the stone beast was really golden, properly made of pure gold. But as soon as he glanced at it, he felt a foul smell come to his face, and then an ugly maned dog's head appeared above, its sharp teeth bulging outward, and the stinking saliva dripped down his face.
"Whew......!"
The dog's head stretched out and saw Ning Hao, so he pounced down directly with his head down, and opened his mouth to Ning Hao's head.
Ning Hao's hairs exploded at this time, his hands were propped up on the beast's feet, and his head shrank back urgently. Then the whole person rolled backwards for more than ten meters.
And after the big dog pounced, he poked his head out and saw Xu Xiaonan, and immediately shrank back. Then there was a sound of sharp claws scratching around the beast's feet, and the dog scurried back inside the stone beast.
Xu Xiaonan didn't react at all, and looked at Ning Hao fixedly,
"Hao Ye, I didn't pounce on you, did I?"
Ning Hao's head was covered with fishy saliva, and he wiped his face with his clothes, panting and saying,
"Careless, I forgot that these mastiffs are only afraid of the bamboo leaves on your arm, and they were almost bitten by this beast. ”
Xu Xiaonan was reminded by him and suddenly understood. Pulling Ning Hao up, he turned around and walked to the beast's foot and said, "Master Hao, since these beasts are afraid of me." Then I'll go in and take a look, in case Brother Zhou is dragged in by them, it's terrible. ”
After saying this, Xu Xiaonan got into the big hole and climbed up with both hands and feet.
Ning Hao stabilized his mind slightly, and immediately grabbed the fire axe and rushed into the big hole. Pin the axe to your waist, bite the flashlight in your mouth, and climb up with your hands and feet on the wall of the cave.
If Zhou Huawen is dragged in, it will definitely be more than lucky. Although those victorious mastiffs were afraid of the bamboo leaves and green hills on Xu Xiaonan's body, they were forced to retreat, and they must be desperate.
Ning Hao crawled into the belly of the beast a few times and lifted the axe with his backhand.
The eyes were full of pure gold and golden light, and a slanting passage went up, just enough for people to walk.
But this golden environment is full of fishy smells that make people almost vomit, which is simply weird and inexplicable. Not only was the victory mastiff missing just now, but Xu Xiaonan's figure couldn't be seen either.
"Xu Xiaonan, you take it easy, wait for me. ”
Ning Hao shouted a few times, held his breath, grabbed the axe and strode up.
