Chapter 31: The Stone House

Strictly speaking, those terracotta soldiers were supposed to be a kind of puppet mechanism. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When Miao Miao and Qu Xie moved the lid of the coffin, they touched the mechanism, and the terracotta soldiers wanted to protect the sarcophagus before they launched an attack in a fixed direction.

After all, terracotta puppet soldiers are dead, and people are alive.

"Be careful!"

When Wu Tong reminded him, Miao Miao and Qu Xie seemed to have expected it, they just turned sideways slightly, and after standing at a very tricky angle, the weapon of the terracotta soldier fell short.

The process can be regarded as thrilling.

The mechanical chopping movements made by the terracotta puppet soldiers are fixed, and they are also fixed in relation to the direction in which they are standing.

As long as that angle is calculated and effectively evaded, the mechanical attack of this puppet mechanism will not play a big role, and it can only be regarded as an uneasy setup.

Qu Xie experimented, as long as he opened the coffin at a few fixed points, the puppet mechanism would attack.

Therefore, he and Miaomiao would avoid a few positions, and then push hard, and the coffin lid was slowly pushed open with a 'click'.

At this time, Wu Tong held his breath and raised his crossbow vigilantly, his eyes firmly locked on the movement in the sarcophagus.

The bodyguards also raised their guns and aimed, ready to attack the zongzi drilled out of the sarcophagus at any time.

When the lid of the coffin was completely opened, Wu Tong and the others stared at the boss, wanting to see what the legendary zongzi looked like.

If he can't do it, Wu Tong thinks it's better to run away.

However, after the coffin lid was opened, Wu Tong looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any zongzi suddenly jumping out.

When he saw Qu Xie and Miaomiao's usual expressions, he dared to get closer, but saw that there was nothing in the sarcophagus, and it was actually empty.

It's just that there is still a 'rustling' sound in the coffin, which startles Wu Tong.

After Qu Xie illuminated that location with a miner's lamp, Wu Tong saw that there was a big rat hidden there, gnawing at the pile of blood that was running down the stone wall in the inner corner of the coffin, and was about to dry up.

There is a gap at the bottom of the sarcophagus, and there are also traces of opening.

Qu Xie dodged the puppet's attack and jumped into the sarcophagus, felt a pull ring in a pit in the corner, and then pulled hard, and the stone slab was pulled apart, revealing a hole under the sarcophagus.

After measuring the cave with an instrument and signaling that there was no danger, Miaomiao asked Wu Tong and the three of them to go down first, and when she went down last, she covered the sarcophagus by the way.

The dampness in the tunnel down is very heavy, giving people a damp and cold feeling.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, the surrounding cave walls were covered with a kind of purple moss, and the evil spirit reminded them not to touch it, that thing was poisonous, and several people became more and more careful.

The further they went, the heavier the dampness became, and as they descended the steps to the bottom, they were covered with stagnant water, occasionally bubbling up, and at least to the knees, and they had to drip through it.

"After entering the water, you must follow my steps, don't panic if you find anything abnormal, remember?"

After Qu Xie reminded a few people, after asking everyone to put on leg covers, he went into the water first and walked slowly with the water.

The equipment Wu Tong was wearing was waterproof, but after he got into the water, he still felt a cold seeping in, which made him shiver.

Just halfway through, Wu Tong felt a little pain in his leg, as if he was caught by some pliers, but he didn't react when he saw that the few people in front and behind him, but he couldn't help but calm himself down and continue to follow Qu Xie forward.

Crash!

It wasn't until he walked ten meters and walked through the waterlogged area to a step up to leave the water that Wu Tong's eyes widened and he saw dozens of soft creatures like leeches hanging from Qu Xie's legs.

Looking at his legs, there are also dozens of soft creatures hanging from them.

The mollusc clinged to their legs, stabbing his legs and gear with his mouthparts, and was on the verge of piercing.

Apparently, it was a kind of soft-bodied creature that could suck blood, but luckily they were equipped and wore tough leg covers, otherwise they would have been sucked dry by the blood of that thing.

Wu Tong was shocked, and quickly took off the leg cover and threw it into the water, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that all of a sudden, he couldn't help but feel an intuition.

It wasn't that he felt the warning of danger, but that the spiritual energy in his soul universe would have a slight fluctuating effect.

Miao Miao looked at the map and said, "Half a little further on, there are a few small houses, and in the past is the back garden of the ancient tomb where Lao He had an accident, there are many plants and unknown creatures in it, and we will officially enter the main tomb area!" ”

Next, several people slowly moved forward more cautiously.

The passage here twists and turns, and the further you go, the more you can see plants that grow densely in the dark without sunlight.

However, according to the fragments of the plants on the ground in front of them, it can be seen that it has been opened up, and Wu Tong and the others only need to follow the footprints of the predecessors.

After ten minutes, the group finally walked through the end of the passage and saw that there were several stone houses built there.

These stone houses have no doors or windows, and there are no other furnishings except for a strangely shaped stone statue in the center of the house, let alone any antique objects.

When Qu Xie explored the footprints in the stone room, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

But after Wu Tong entered a stone house, he suddenly felt a faint energy fluctuation surging around.

Where the source of this energy fluctuation was Wu Tong couldn't be determined, and when he wanted to use the soul universe to emit spiritual energy to sense, that fluctuation suddenly disappeared.

At this time, one of the bodyguards took out a gas helmet from his backpack and handed it to Wu Tong to ask him to put it on, and the others took the same measures.

Put on a gas mask, walk through the stone house, and then come to the garden.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, I saw that all kinds of unknown plants and plants grew in this garden.

In particular, a kind of vine that Wu Tong saw exuded a rancid smell, but it grew the most lush and strong in such an environment, which was very weird.

Miao Miao said: "This is a carrion vine, which is specially devoured and absorbed by absorbing all kinds of carrion to absorb nutrients for growth, you must pay attention when you go forward, be careful not to be entangled by it!" ”

Since this is the back garden of the tomb owner, there are many criss-crossing paths in it, but due to the age, some plants are connected in series to cover the road, so it has to be more cautious and slow to reopen.

However, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

The periphery of this botanical garden has been carved out by the people who came in front of them several ready-made paths, and Wu Tong and the others continue to explore the surroundings along those paths.

When the group came to the middle of this garden, Wu Tong suddenly sensed something, and suddenly turned back to look at the northeast corner of the garden.

It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, but Wu Tong suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes silently observing and watching him in the dark, which made him a little uneasy.

After Miaomiao saw Wu Tong's strange appearance, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm a little upset, it feels like there's someone watching us......"

Miaomiao followed the direction of the northeast corner shown by Wu Tong, took out the map and compared it, frowned slightly, and said: "That place is where Lao He had an accident, and there is no follow-up to this map to this garden, it seems that we will have to be more cautious and cautious later......

"Ahh

However, before Miao Miao's words fell, he was interrupted by an exclamation.

Wu Tong heard the exclamation from one of his bodyguards, and couldn't help frowning and looking there, but his face also changed.
