Chapter 50: Twists and Turns
After Lu Xiao took a closer look, he found that there was an inconspicuous gap around the nose bone of this skeleton, which could not be seen at all if he didn't look carefully.
And it's not like the owner of this skeleton, who is defective or injured, and it wasn't knocked on during the burial, it's more like it was artificially made, because the oval crack is very regular, like the polishing of a machine.
In ancient times, when the mausoleum was built and the mechanism was set up, most of the craftsmen would be killed to death by the hired person and buried with him, so as not to leak the news of their mausoleum, be taken by tomb thieves or destroyed by the enemy.
Therefore, most of the craftsmen who build secret mausoleums will generally leave a way for themselves to survive in the ten dead institutions, so as not to be killed by high-ranking mercenaries.
From this, Lu Xiao finally judged that the nose bone of the main sarcophagus should be the secret passage reserved for himself by the craftsman who built this mausoleum back then.
Although Lu Xiao judged that it was the same thing based on what he had learned. But what the actual situation really is, no one knows.
It's just that at this time, due to the urgency of time, there is not much time left for Lu Xiao to figure out and speculate.
"Whew!"
Lu Xiao took a deep breath and calmed his emotions for the time being.
Then he poked out a finger and slowly pointed in the direction of the corpse's nose bone.
And the people around who had been putting their hopes on Lu Xiao finally made a move after thinking about it for a few minutes. They all held their breath and stared at Lu Xiao intently, with infinite expectations and trust in their hearts.
They watched Lu Xiao's every move, and their hearts couldn't help beating faster and faster.
Since everyone was looking at Lu Xiao intently, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and even the heartbeat of everyone could be heard clearly.
And at this time......
"Smack!"
As Lu Xiao pointed his finger at the position of the nasal bone of the corpse, the nasal bone was concave downward in response to Lu Xiao's imagination, and let out a snap.
At this moment, all the people were in a daze, and their hearts were hanging, as if they had done a roller coaster, and they were parked upside down in the highest sky, waiting for their fate in the next moment.
In this way, as if a long time had passed, three seconds later, the rumble sounded again. But this time, it was only the stone slab at the bottom of the main sarcophagus coffin, which slowly opened halfway, revealing a swarthy hole.
Until this time, until the dense hole they were worried about did not shoot out any hidden weapons, until they saw the way out exposed under the main sarcophagus, their hanging hearts finally let go!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew!"
At this time, everyone, including Rodriguez, found that their clothes had already been soaked with sweat.
Lu Xiao looked at the hole that was exposed at the bottom of the coffin of the main sarcophagus, and he was also slightly relieved.
Then, just when everyone had just a little mental relaxation, to their despair, they actually heard a dense sound of rustling, and from the sound of it, it turned out to be in their direction, and it was getting closer and closer.
Hearing this voice, everyone's hearts were shocked, and the bodyguards around the main sarcophagus invariably used high-intensity flashlights to shine around, but the results that could be seen made everyone gasp.
"Shhh
Everyone's faces instantly turned pale and weak, even Rodriguez, who had been living and dying for a long time, and his body shook a little. But only Lu Xiao remained calm.
However, at this time, his solemn face showed the horror of this huge crisis.
What exactly do they see?
When the bright light shone through, what they saw was a black press, dense and seemingly endless, pure black, about half the size of a normal person's thumb.
Exterminate the gold-eating ants!
It's their fearsome name.
Exterminated gold-eating ants, they generally live in tropical and subtropical regions, and feed on all organic matter, such as animals, plants and some mineral-rich metals, all of which are their food. And their indestructible sharp teeth are also their most powerful weapons.
Exterminated gold-eating ants tend to live in groups and prefer shady places. Everywhere they passed, there was nothing but lifeless residue like grains of sand, and there were no bones left.
This is the main reason why people talk about their discoloration.
The word extinction is well deserved!
At this time, everyone found that hundreds of millions of extinct gold-eating ants kept crawling out of the 'mass grave', constantly touching the ground with the two tentacles in front of their foreheads, chasing some breath of life, and then the black pressure came to the army of people.
Thinking that their lair was built in that 'mass grave' to hibernate, because his group had just caused this Nine Palaces Blood Flying Star Array to shake violently twice, it only woke them up.
Seeing such a scene, Gao Jie instantly got goosebumps, and a pair of jade hands covered the cherry mouth to prevent him from shouting.
At this time, she was not frightened and fainted, she was already bold.
At this time, there was only one Lu Xiao who remained calm, and the moment he saw the extinct gold-eating ants, he immediately spoke, "Go down from the entrance one by one, be fast." And don't touch the thin thread that binds those two pages! ”
Lu Xiao spoke at this time, still recuperating clearly.
Moreover, there is not much time for them, less than half a minute at most! The extinct gold-eating ants will be killed in droves to taste a delicacy that has not been tasted for a long time.
At this time, Lu Xiao finally knew why the body of those tomb robbers was facing the direction of the cave entrance. Because they are fleeing for their lives, they are escaping the devouring of extinct gold-eating ants.
It's just that they failed!
After listening to Lu Xiao's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and a feeling of being able to escape death surged in their hearts.
However, just before Rodriguez could give the order.
One of the many bodyguards, the man whose eyes flashed with strange colors from the moment he entered the tomb, jumped into the hole at once when everyone was stunned, and before going down, he deliberately pulled the two pages of the Heavenly Machine Book with his hands.
It's just that I don't know what unknown material that thin wire is, but it was only shaken twice, and it was not broken by the bodyguard just now.
However, the bodyguard who suddenly shot out entered the passage, but because of his actions before leaving, the mechanism that had just been opened by Lu Xiao was closed again.
All this is in everyone's eyes. Others simply don't have time to stop it, and they don't know why their partners who have been around them for many years are suddenly like this. And Lu Xiao was standing at the other end of the sarcophagus, but he didn't have time to go over at all.
Then, when they touched the corpse's nose bone again, it was useless, and the mechanism was completely shut down!
In just one second, everything has been destroyed by that bodyguard.
One second of heaven, one second of hell!
The hope of all lives was shattered in this second!
At this time, everyone, including Rodriguez, was pale. Although they hated the bodyguard who destroyed their life just now, they were helpless to turn them into inorganic scum in just a dozen seconds.
Especially Rodriguez, not only the hope of his life was shattered, but also the guilt of putting Lu Xiao in danger, and the unwillingness to not be able to save his dearest sister!
"I'm sorry! Elena! My brother can't tell you stories! Rodriguez was sad.
On the contrary, Gao Jie, who was still frightened just now, suddenly became bold at this time, as if he was afraid that he would be lonely if he died alone, and grabbed Lu Xiao's arm, with a poignant smile on his face.
But the strong one didn't say anything.
Perhaps, when he died, being able to be with Lu Xiao could be regarded as a consolation prize given by God to him after suffering for so many years!
However, what Gao Jie didn't know was that her sudden move made Lu Xiao, who had been running at high speed in her mind, and was unusually calm, was slightly stunned.
Suddenly, it made Lu Xiao's mind have a flash of inspiration.
The bodyguard who had just entered the secret passage and killed them, in that kind of free fall, did not even tear off the thin thread that tied the two pages of the Heavenly Machine Book, which has to be said to be the composition of this thin line.
Moreover, for no reason, it is understandable that there is a book of heavenly machines in the coffin, but why are they tied in mid-air?
Lu Xiao felt as if he had caught something!
And at this time, he was no longer allowed to think, because in just 5 or 6 seconds, the extinction of gold-eating ants was less than twenty meters away from them.
At this time, the eyes of Rodriguez and the bodyguards were full of despair, even in the face of a powerful enemy, no matter how fierce the assassination and artillery fire, they had never been so desperate.
It's just that in the face of such a vast sea of extinct gold-eating ants, even if there are two people, they are only like a drop in the ocean, just a drop in the bucket.
Ten meters!
Rodriguez and the others closed their eyes in despair.
Five meters!
Gao Jie leaned his head on Lu Xiao's arm with his poignant head, and held him tightly like that.
Three meters!
Lu Xiao stepped on it fiercely, and everyone seemed to be able to hear the sound of Lu Xiao's feet smashing the stone.
"Boom!" With a bang, Lu Xiao followed the reaction force of his foot, like an arrow off the string. Holding Gao Jie, he jumped into the main sarcophagus quickly, and before Gao Jie could react, his palms were extremely decisive and hit the unknown extremely tough thin line at the same time.
Just listen to "Smack!" With a bang, the thin line broke in response!
Two meters!
There were already bodyguards who were relatively far away, and they let out a scream, but in just a second, the screams stopped abruptly. The devouring ability of the extinction gold-eating ants is so powerful!
At the same time, Lu Xiao had just broken the thin line that was tied to the two pages of the Heavenly Machine Book, and then Lu Xiao grabbed them in his hand.
One meter!
At this time, Rodriguez and the others standing outside the main sarcophagus could feel that there were extinction gold-eating ants climbing on their feet!
Just when everyone was powerless to return to the sky, they suddenly ......
Boom!
The ground, which was formed in a circle with the diameter of the main sarcophagus, suddenly collapsed. The people who were still alive, after being slightly stunned, were accompanied by some extinction gold-eating ants that were still pouring in, and fell into the abyss in an instant.
