Chapter 948: The Underground Giant City (5)
Everyone ran to the entrance of the stairs and found that it had been sealed by a huge stone, and Meng Zitao pondered for a while, and the length of the block was about five meters.
Such a large boulder, he doesn't know how the ancients at that time used it as a mechanism, of course, he can't see the situation inside now, and there may be a few boulders behind. But it's incredible to be able to design such a mechanism.
"Wu Shidi, you have been down to many ancient tombs, have you ever seen such a mechanism?" Hanyu asked.
"I've encountered traps like flaps and quicksand, but this is the first time I've seen such a big trick. Wu Shidi sighed while observing the boulder.
"Then how do you think we can open the boulder?" Hanyu asked again.
"This ...... I really can't do anything other than use explosives and machinery. Wu Shidi shook his head.
At this time, Sun Zanggui spoke: "I advise you not to act rashly, who knows what other organs are in this? What if we bury us all with a bang." ”
Hanyu Shoyama's face also showed a grim look, but immediately he changed his smile to a smile: "Since that's the case, then let's go to the ancient city to investigate with peace of mind." ”
"Mr. Hanyu, I don't know how much dry food you brought here?" Wu Shidi asked cautiously, no matter how good the money is, it can't be eaten as food. In this place, the water is still available, and the only food to eat is brought from outside.
"If you can't starve to death for the time being, even if you don't have anything to eat, aren't there fish in the river?" Hanyu Shoyama still had the heart to joke.
Wu Shidi laughed dryly, thinking to himself, just kidding, is the strange fish so easy to catch? Don't end up not eating the fish, but being eaten by the fish.
However, Hanyu Shaoshan's composure also made him feel a lot more at ease, thinking of the man in black who came to inform him just now, he couldn't help but think that there should be someone outside to answer.
There was also Boss Shi who had the same idea as Wu Shidi, but his idea was to let Meng Zitao's people hurry up and rescue him from this hot and aquatic place.
The group returned to the city gate, and when they passed the stone bridge, they were all terrified, for fear that they would die in the belly of the fish, but fortunately they all passed safely in the end.
With Hanyu Shoshan's order, the group walked into the city gate, and immediately, rows of buildings that seemed to have the characteristics of the ancient southwest region entered everyone's sight, but it may be limited in height and location, and the buildings here do not have a sense of atmosphere, but the vicissitudes of history are still coming.
In front of everyone, there is a vertical and horizontal road, and the ground is also paved with stone bricks made of stones, and there are some black trees on it, but compared to the outside, it is much better.
As he walked, Hanyu asked his men to search each building in the hope of finding the treasure, but it turned out that there was nothing to be found except for some disfigured bronze and ordinary pottery.
Hanyu's disappointment was palpable, but the search had only just begun, and there was no hurry.
Then, he led everyone to find a relatively large house in the east, and then Meng Zitao and Shi Laoda, as well as Sun Zanggui and his gang, were driven in to watch and detain.
Moreover, the food and weapons brought by Sun Zanggui's side were also confiscated and searched, as for Mencius and Shi Boss, there was no such "treatment", because they were originally prisoners, and Hanyu Shaoshan did not feel that they would bring danger to himself.
Hanyu had some dry food distributed to everyone, and then asked his men to look around the city to see if there were any precious things.
Meng Zitao chewed the bread slowly, thinking about what he should do next, with his colleagues outside, he was not worried that he would not be able to get out, so his current goal has not changed.
In addition, Meng Zitao was also very interested in the identity of Hanyu Shaoshan, when he met these people before, he thought of the man in black he encountered after eating with Dong Jichang in the capital, both of them were from Dongying, whether there would be any connection.
Compared with Meng Zitao's relaxation, Boss Shi's face was full of anxiety, and Meng Zitao could feel that his heart was stirring.
"What are you doing?" Meng Zitao pushed him and asked in a low voice.
"I always felt like something bad was going to happen here. Boss Shi said anxiously.
"Don't be cranky, there are tall men on top of the sky. Meng Zitao sensed it carefully for a while, and did not feel any danger, or rather, this danger was only for ordinary people.
Boss Shi didn't come calmly: "Meng ...... Let's talk about it, and I hope you can protect me later. ”
"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. Meng Zitao first gave him a reassuring pill to avoid bad things to him, and then said: "But you really impress me now." ”
Boss Shi also knew what Meng Zitao meant, and looked a little embarrassed: "It's not what it was back then, I'm old and young, if I go, my son may have to call others Dad." ”
"Hey......
Meng Zitao laughed, and a scolding voice came from the side: "Hey, what are you two muttering, do you want to ......?"
"Ahh
As the guard was talking, there was a sudden scream, which startled everyone.
"Stay here quietly for me!" Hanyu Shoyama said a word and ran out, and after a while, he walked back with a gloomy expression: "You all come out." ”
When Meng Zitao walked to the door, he saw a corpse lying on the ground, this person's death was a little terrifying, a large hole in his neck was broken, blood splattered from there, and there was a look of fear on his face, Meng Zitao guessed that he should have been killed in an instant.
"Come and see what he was killed by. Hanyu Shoyama looks calm on the surface, but his heart is full of anger, the expedition has just begun, but he has already lost two of his subordinates, the key is that he has not found any treasures, which he cannot tolerate.
Meng Zitao walked over to check the wound, and then noticed that the man's neck had been broken, which showed that the blood loss was not a fatal injury, he had died before this, and looking at the wound, he should have been bitten to death by an animal.
These are not seen by Meng Zitao alone, and many people have also come to this conclusion.
Hanyu asked one of the men in black to explain, he said that this person was killed when he went to the convenience, and when they rushed there, the murderer's shadow was not seen, and if it was an animal, it should not have moved so quickly.
Wu Shidi said: "No, everything here cannot be judged by common sense, don't forget, there was such a huge sharp-billed crocodile in the river just now." ”
The first strange fish was so fast that everyone didn't see its shape clearly, and the second strange fish had more time to observe because it had to cross the stone bridge, so many people saw that it looked very much like a sharp-billed crocodile. As for whether it is indeed a sharp-billed crocodile or a mutant variety, I don't know.
Since such a powerful strange fish has appeared, it is not so strange that other ferocious animals have appeared.
So, Hanyu Shoyama took everyone to the place where the man was killed, and everyone soon found some paw prints, and the paw prints were not small, it didn't seem to be a small animal.
Back in front of the house, Hanyu said to his subordinates, "You can find a place to bury him, remember that you are not allowed to act alone in the future, and even if you go to the toilet, you must go with two people." ”
"Yes!"
After the body was carried away, Sun Zanggui said, "Shouldn't we change places next?" ”
Hanyu Shaoshan looked at Sun Zanggui, and immediately understood that the smell of blood here was so big, if other fierce beasts were recruited again, it would be a big trouble.
Sun Zanggui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted his mood, now that he didn't see anything, he was about to move away, like a lost dog, it was too embarrassing.
"Da Da Da!"
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire came, everyone was startled, everyone looked for a place to cover, half a sound, the gunfire stopped, and a moment later, the man in black who had just gone to bury the body ran over.
"We saw something like a tiger, but it wasn't as big as a tiger, it was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye. One of the men in black said.
"How can there be a tiger in this ghost place?" Wu Shidi said with a frown.
Another man in black said, "It just looks like a tiger, and its tail is like a cow." ”
彘 (zhì). Meng Zitao said.
"What did you say?" Hanyu said.
Meng Zitao said: "What he said is likely to be Bi, and there is a record of it in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, 'The mountain of floating jade, there are beasts, its shape is like a tiger and the tail of an ox, its sound is like a barking dog, its name is 彘, it is a cannibal.'" Translated into meaning, there is a wild beast in the floating jade mountain, shaped like a tiger but with a cow's tail, and its bark is like a dog's bark, and its name is 彘, which can eat people. ”
Listening to Meng Zitao's words, the animal seen by the man in black may really be a Yi.
Hanyu Shaoshan looked at Meng Zitao and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much with a bodyguard." ”
Meng Zitao said: "It's just that I love to read, how can I not read such an interesting book as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”
Hanyu Shaoshan glanced at Meng Zitao deeply, from just now to now, he has always felt that this bodyguard is a little strange, specifically too calm, except for the incident of going into the water, he has never seen fear on Meng Zitao's face. And Meng Zitao's reaction was also extremely good, so that he became wary of Meng Zitao.
However, on second thought, no matter how powerful Meng Zitao is, he is just a prisoner, so there is no need to worry.
"Let's go, let's change places now. ”
Hanyu asked everyone to pack up their things and change from the east to the west to a house. Because he was worried that he would appear again, Hanyu Shoyama arranged a few guards, and he didn't dare to arrange for his subordinates to go out to find something.
The dungeon was pitch black, everyone did not have the concept of day and night, seeing that the time had fallen into the night, the body was very tired, so they closed their clothes and slept together, but they did not dare to sleep too dead.
