With the two of them walking deeper, Hou Rui has been opening the way in front, and closely following Hou Rui's footsteps, she held a lantern, auxiliary lighting from the side, nervously inspected the walls on both sides of the road, and carefully looked for the special cross sign that the green monkey had verified.

After turning a corner again, Hou Rui's headlamp swept to the ground, only to be surprised to see his familiar mark, an arrow made of three bones.

"This?Lord Shadow Tiger, are we turning back again?" The curved neck flask, who had always followed Hou Rui, felt a little discouraged and disappointed when he heard it.

"Actually, you should be happy. Hou Rui squatted down as he spoke, and added two more bones to the bone arrow just now, as a sign of coming back from the detour.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because this means that we have already checked the area of the cemetery in front of us, and when we return to the fork in the road behind in a while, we only need to check the range of the passage on the right side this time. ”

In fact, the truth is that no matter how frustrated Hou Rui's heart is, but in front of his subordinates, Hou Rui must maintain self-confidence and authority, if even he himself is shaken, how can his subordinates carry out orders 100%, in the face of such a complex environment as the Skull Tomb, Hou Rui must put an end to all hidden dangers.

"Whew, I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly, Lord Shadow Tiger. Sure enough, she immediately showed a sincere gratification, as if she had found a solid backer that she could absolutely rely on.

"Then of course, let's go on! By the way, you can turn off the headlamp for a while, save power, and let me light it for the time being. ”

"Understood!" said the curt-necked flask obediently turned off her headlamp, so that the light in the corridor immediately dimmed by half, and she could only barely see the ground clearly, relying on the lantern in her hand to check the walls on both sides.

Waiting for Hou Rui and the curved neck bottle to set off again, returning to the fork in the road they had passed, and turning into another unexplored area, a black shadow suddenly appeared where Hou Rui had placed the dry bone arrow, and then this black shadow wearing an advanced night vision device on his head and carrying a backpack and a rifle on his back, with a slight wipe under his feet, he immediately destroyed Hou Rui's arrow marker, and then this black shadow silently chased towards Hou Rui and them.

Soon another two hours passed, and Hou Rui and the others slowly turned around the area they were responsible for, but they didn't find the strangely shaped cross, so Hou Rui made a quick decision to take the curved neck bottle to the green monkey and the knight to see how their luck was.

As a result, after trekking in the dark for about 40 minutes, according to the marks left by Sir on the wall, Hou Rui successfully caught up with them, only to find that Lux and the others had also gathered, and everyone was standing in front of a huge wall of human heads, and in the center of this human head wall, a cross pattern made of a baby's super small skull was standing quietly.

Obviously, the guy who built this wall of human heads was very thoughtful, and if he hadn't paid special attention to the vast human skulls, he would never have found this hidden pattern spliced with a trumpet skull, and naturally he would not have found this place.

When Hou Rui and the curved neck flask also joined everyone's observation, 2-3 minutes passed immediately, but everyone still stood motionless, using the light of a few headlamps, constantly searching all over the corridor. She finally couldn't help but quietly tug at the sleeve of the beaker, and asked in a low voice, "How long have you been here?"

"Almost 20 minutes."

"And what are you looking at?"

"Of course it's to find a tomb!" replied Beaker, of course.

"What's there to think about, you can see it clearly at a glance around here, and the only possibility is to directly tear down the wall. ”

"No!" who knew that the green monkey who heard the conversation between the two immediately stopped the curved neck bottle: "This wall of human heads is three meters high, and the cross pattern is still in the middle, if you rush to tear down the wall, the bones piled on it will fall down like an avalanche." ”

"So when it comes to this, we have to be more cautious. On the other side, Hou Rui took the opportunity to take over the words of the green monkey, and after breaking the key in the middle, he took out a few glow sticks from his backpack, twisted them a few times, and inserted them into the skull eye sockets of the human head wall, which can be regarded as creating a bright environment for everyone to be more convenient for inspection.

In this way, in the next 20 minutes, Hou Rui's group of people really tried their best, and later they even did not hesitate to climb to the top of the head wall, stick to the roof of the corridor, and clear a big hole, but they reluctantly found that there was only a thick stone wall behind this head wall, and there was no tomb or secret passage.

Time passed minute by minute, and when everyone was a little discouraged, Hou Rui suddenly slapped his head and shifted his inquiring gaze from the wall of human heads and the cross to the rocky ground where everyone was stepping on.

A few seconds later, the green monkey first noticed Hou Rui's abnormal behavior, so the green monkey asked suspiciously, "Shadow Tiger, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the ground. ”

"Look at the ground?"

"According to Western burial customs, the tombstone is to be placed directly behind the coffin, if we treat this cross as a tombstone, then the location of the corpse should be at our feet. Hou Rui's eyes never left the ground, and he tried to grope with his hands as he spoke.

"Well...... , it makes sense, everyone came to help find out. The green monkey thought about it and immediately beckoned everyone to come over and help.

Among them, Lux and the Crooked Neck Flask were the quickest to respond, piercing the sharp iron object to the ground and then dragging it slowly, so that even if there were small stone crevices on the ground and under the dust, they could feel it by the touch of iron tools such as daggers in their hands.

More than ten seconds later, in the process of inspecting the ground inch by inch, he suddenly shouted excitedly: "My lord, come and see, there is an iron chain here." ”

"What? where is the chain?" the surprised green monkey rushed over almost instantly, and when she rushed to the side of the test tube, she found a thick iron chain extending from the underground rock in the middle of a pile of jumbled bones on the opposite side of the human head wall.

Originally, everyone was about to despair, but suddenly there was a turnaround, and the excited green monkey immediately wanted to pull the chain to take a look, but Hou Rui, who was standing aside and was obviously more sensible, immediately stopped her: "Wait a minute!"

"That's right! You can't open the tomb like this, maybe as soon as you open the tomb, the original strain will be released immediately. The green monkey who came to his senses immediately was worthy of being an expert in the virus, and in the blink of an eye, he understood Hou Rui's worries, so he immediately put down the thick iron chain in his hand.

Next, the green monkey asked his subordinates to open the heavy backpacks one by one, took out the chemical protection suits and equipment inside, and put them on everyone to wear, and then threw a large number of glow sticks around, illuminating this section of the passage with light.

After these preparations, Jazz, Beaker and Test Tube, the three of them picked up the chain again, and Hou Rui and Lux also took advantage of the situation to guard the two ends of the road, and the remaining Green Monkey and the Flask stood nervously aside, intently supervising Jazz's actions.

"Start pulling, slow down, slow down......," she said, standing beside Jazz, nervously watching the end of the chain, guessing what would happen after pulling. The curved neck flask holds a portable air analyzer in its hand, ready to deal with sudden dangers in the first place and detect the threat level of exposed air.

"Whoa......!" As a thick iron chain about one meter long was pulled out of the ground by the Sir and them, the ground in front of the cross immediately trembled slightly, and the skeletons on the human head wall collided with each other because of the vibration, and made a "Gadaga Da" sound, and countless snakes, insects, rats and ants escaped from the nearby pile of dry bones and the human head wall, and fled to other dark areas along the feet of Hou Rui's group.

Finally, as the intensity of the tremors continued to increase, the sound of rock grinding and the flow of viscous liquid began to be heard from the place where everyone had been standing, followed by a two-foot-thick rock that sank to the bottom, revealing a hole large enough for two people to stand side by side.

"Found it, found it. Lux shouted excitedly.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, check the composition of the air, bend the neck flask, immediately sample the air, and everyone is ready to go down and have a look. With the order of the green monkey, the members of her team got busy one by one, beakers and test tubes, and they began to carry all kinds of equipment on their shoulders and backs, preparing to enter this mysterious cave.

After she sampled and preserved the air in the burrow, she carefully touched the burrow, then shone it with a flashlight, turned her head to Hou Rui and the green monkey and said: "It is a hydraulic lifting system made of mercury, and it looks like it should belong to the ancient technology of the Middle Ages." ”

"Great, I finally found it this time!" Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

"Go down and see!" After a few moments, the green monkey finally gave the order, and then she gritted her teeth and pulled a rope fixed to the stone wall and slid down. Seeing that the figure of the curved neck bottle was sinking into the ground little by little, the mood of Hou Rui and the others also became nervous.
