Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 130 Green-haired Poisonous Crab
Chen Xiaopang's words were reasonable, and Ma Bingxiao nodded again and again.
But Ma Bingxiao's doubts in his heart were not solved, so he could only ask again: "But if this sarcophagus is not a dragon corpse, what kind of coffin can be placed in this crystal palace?"
"Then there are many possibilities, maybe there is something harmful hidden inside, just waiting for the inverted bucket to come in and open the coffin, and immediately will be killed by the things inside. There are too many examples like this, and it just so happens that we don't have a crowbar in our hands, so if I want to say let's not open this coffin, it's best to find a way to get out!"
In fact, with Chen Xiaopang's love for archaeology, even if he knew that the coffin was likely to be harmful to people, he would want to open it and take a look.
It's just that now that the life and death of Poplar and Tie Niu are uncertain, the most important thing for them now is to go out as soon as possible, no matter how curious they are, they can only hold back for the time being.
Ding Lingling didn't know Chen Xiaopang's character, knowing what kind of considerations he had, she couldn't help but feel sore in her heart, so she could only nod her head in agreement.
Hongxing even heard Chen Xiaopang mention the crowbar, and the crowbar was in the hands of Tie Niu, so Hongxing was also silent with red eyes.
Only Ma Bingxiao came in to explore and see the strange, he wanted to open the coffin to see what would be inside.
But seeing Ding Lingling nodding in favor of Chen Xiaopang, he could only close his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
There were two closed doors on the opposite wall, and several people walked around the sarcophagus to the door, walking extra carefully for fear of touching some mechanism.
But it was useless to be careful, seeing that Chen Xiaopang, who was walking in the front, was still two or three meters away from the gate, and suddenly heard a "click" sound, followed by a "bang".
Several people immediately turned their heads and looked at where the voice had come from.
The sound came from the huge sarcophagus, and at this moment the lid of the sarcophagus had automatically moved a large slit, and one by one green reptiles were crawling out of the coffin.
It was a crab, but it wasn't any crab.
First, they were covered with disgustingly short green hairs, and second, they were so large that each one was larger than a grown man's slap.
And there were so many of them that they poured out of the huge sarcophagus and soon crawled in the direction where the four of them were standing.
"What is this? What is this?" exclaimed Ma Bingxiao.
Ding Lingling thought for a moment, and then blurted out: "Green-haired poisonous crabs, this is the legendary green-haired poisonous crabs! These green-haired crabs are highly poisonous, once their chela are caught in the skin, they will be poisoned immediately! Senior Brother Chen, let's quickly find a way to open the door and get out!"
In fact, there is no need for her to say that Chen Xiaopang has already rushed to the front of the two gates.
But the two doors were open to the outside, and there were no latches behind them, not even slots and shelves, and there was no place to pull them away.
Chen Xiaopang could only push with his hands and hit with his shoulders, but he didn't move.
In just such an instant, those poisonous crabs have already poured to their feet like a tide.
Ma Bingxiao held a long sword in his hand, but Ding Lingling and Hongxing did not have a long weapon in their hands.
Chen Xiaopang heard the exclamation of Ding Lingling, who was a red apricot, had to turn around, waved a shovel to sweep away a large area of poisonous crabs, and shouted: "This gate also needs to find a mechanism to open, I will block these green-haired poisonous crabs, Lingling Hongxing, you quickly find a mechanism!"
Ding Lingling and Hongxing agreed in unison, quickly approached the gate, and the two of them groped and searched the gate and the door frame from both sides.
But soon, Ding Lingling and Hongxing almost shouted in unison: "There seems to be no mechanism here, this door should only be opened from the other side!"
"How could this be, why did this happen?" Ma Bingxiao exclaimed, striking the poisonous crab with his long sword, and at the same time jumping with two feet to kick away several poisonous crabs at his feet.
Chen Xiaopang was in a hurry, and had to shout: "Let's retreat to the previous room first!"
Chen Xiaopang shouted in his mouth, swept away a piece of green-haired poisonous crab with a shovel, and shouted: "Follow me, don't fall!"
At this moment, two poisonous crabs had climbed on the surface of his feet, he simply jumped up and stomped heavily, and listened to the "click" sound under his feet, not only the two poisonous crabs on his feet were shocked to the ground, but also two poisonous crabs were trampled to death by him.
Chen Xiaopang then shoveled the shovel out smoothly, shoveling poisonous crabs flying all over the ground.
The others didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed behind Chen Xiaopang, sprinting towards the still open doorway on the opposite wall.
Fortunately, no one slipped along the way, and in less than half a minute, several people had already drilled through the door hole to another room, Ding Lingling quickly found the mechanism and closed the door hole.
A few green-haired poisonous crabs crawled over and were trampled to death by Ma Bingxiao with several feet.
Hongxing suddenly screamed, jumping to her feet again and again. It turned out that on her trouser legs, there were two green-haired poisonous crabs climbing.
In fact, there are already a few poisonous crabs on everyone's trouser legs.
Fortunately, the poisonous crab is too big and not as soft as other poisonous insects, so it does not directly burrow into the trouser leg, but just clamps the pants tightly and refuses to fall off the trouser leg.
Ma Bingxiao didn't care about the fact that he also crawled two poisonous crabs on his own legs, and directly used a sword to peel off the poisonous crabs on the trouser legs of Hongxing and Ding Lingling, and then the two poisonous crabs on his legs were also cut off and trampled to death with his feet.
A few people breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the stone statues dumped all over the ground, they couldn't help but feel sad one by one.
"What are we going to do now? Will we already be trapped here?" said Hongxing with a sad face.
"If you want me to say, can we try to walk from above?" Ma Bingxiao said, pointing to the top of his head, "We fell from here, and maybe we can climb out of here." ”
Hongxing and Ding Lingling didn't speak, but set their eyes on Chen Xiaopang.
Chen Xiaopang said: "You can try, but I don't think there is much hope!"
"Then try it! Anyway, I think this place is strange, this house is the same as this hole!" Ma Bingxiao said.
Chen Xiaopang nodded, squatted down and said, "Then you step on my shoulder, first drill into this hole above and take a look!"
Ma Bingxiao agreed, leaned on the wall with both hands, and stepped on Chen Xiaopang.
Hong Xing and Ding Lingling hurriedly supported Chen Xiaopang from both sides, so that he could slowly stand up straight.
The height of the hole that was smashed by the wooden pillar on the top was less than two meters, and half of Ma Bingxiao's body got into the hole, and he looked left and right for a long time before shouting: "Senior Brother Chen, let me down!"
Chen Xiaopang slowly bent his legs and squatted down with the support of Hongxing and Ding Lingling.
Ma Bingxiao jumped off Chen Xiaopang's shoulder, Ding Lingling saw him depressed, and already knew the result, but still asked him: "How is it?"
"No, the whole passage has collapsed, and there is no place to hold your hands!" Ma Bingxiao replied dejectedly.
Chen Xiaopang thought for a moment, and asked him again: "Then can you see the passage we came in before?"
"Yes, but it's at least five meters away, so you can't get it!" replied Ma Bingxiao.
"As long as we can see that passage, at least it proves that we did fall directly from above, and the house with the green-haired poisonous crab just now must be the last room leading to the outside. Chen Xiaopang said.
"But the door of that room can't be opened at all, what's the use?" "I'm really strange now, how did the people who built this house get in and how they got out?
"This is the purpose of the tomb builders! But there will definitely be a relatively smooth passage, but we haven't found it! Otherwise, as you said, even the tomb builders themselves can't get in and out!" Ding Lingling said, turning her head to look at Chen Xiaopang, "Senior brother, have you thought of a way to get out?"
Chen Xiaopang nodded and said, "I was thinking, didn't we see three doorways when we first came in? Since the doorway that went high caused us to fall here, the doorway in the middle must be the one that leads to the room next door with the green-haired poisonous crab." Similarly, the doorway to the waterhole on the far left must be on the left side of our current room. ”
"Senior brother means ......" Ding Lingling still didn't fully understand.
"I mean, the room next door with the green-haired poisonous crab has a maximum depth of fifteen or sixteen meters, and the depth of this room is only ten meters at most, even if we dive over, it will only be twenty or thirty meters!" Chen Xiaopang said.
Ding Lingling suddenly realized and said, "Yes, let's go through this room and go down to that waterhole again, but the problem is ......"
When she said this, she suddenly stopped, and closed her mouth and didn't want to say more.
Hongxing's eyes turned red again, and she said, "The problem is that Poplar and Iron Bull have been sucked in by the whirlpool, what if we go down again and are also sucked in by the whirlpool?"
"I've just taken a closer look, and that whirlpool was generated twenty or thirty meters ahead, so we won't go there at all, ......so naturally we won't be afraid! I think I'm the best in the water right now, so I'll dive out by myself, and then open the door with the green-haired crab from the outside when we get outside, so you can all go out!"
"I think it's still too risky, just in case...... What's wrong with you, we don't know what to do!" Ding Lingling said, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly coughed and held back.
"We've had fewer dangers before, but didn't we all survive that time......? Instead of waiting here and being helpless, you might as well take a risk!" Chen Xiaopang said.
Ding Lingling was very entangled, but there was no other way, so in the end she could only nod her head and said, "Then let's do it!" After Senior Brother went out, he first went to the doorway on the far right and walked to the top and shouted. When the time comes, we'll open the mechanism again, so as not to be attacked by the green-haired poisonous crab when we go out early. ”
Chen Xiaopang nodded and handed the shovel in his hand to Ding Lingling.
Ding Lingling knew that it was not very convenient for him to dive with such a heavy shovel, so she handed over the two short swords on her own to Chen Xiaopang, so that Chen Xiaopang would not even have a weapon in his hand in case he encountered any attack underwater.
