Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 187 Ao Jian's Tomb
Chen Xiaopang originally had two solid fuels in his backpack, but considering that Chen Dalin's body was down there, Chen Xiaopang couldn't bear to burn Chen Dalin's body together.
But Max snatched the solid fuel and threw it on the black sand below.
The desert poisonous scorpions all over the ground were inevitably burned to death, and soon Chen Dalin's body was also set on fire.
Most of the remaining desert scorpions burrowed into the sand, and a small number climbed up the rocky rocks, and were quickly smoked by the smoke.
The smoke swept up with the stench of burnt corpses, and a few people could only lie on the smooth and sloping stone rocks and barely endure it.
After enduring this forbearance for more than half an hour, the fireworks below gradually became smaller, but the smell of burnt paste was suffocating.
Chen Dalin's body has completely turned into ashes, and several people already feel that their hands and feet are sore, and they can't support it.
But several people were afraid that there was a desert scorpion below, so they didn't dare to jump down again, but discussed to see if they could climb up.
Furthermore, the stone rock was too steep, and they just barely used their feet to stand on the edges and corners formed by the slope of the rock and the straight face below, and it was not easy to support it for more than half an hour.
The red apricot fell first, and the others couldn't support it and fell one after another.
Fortunately, the sand below is still hot, and Chen Dalin's body has not been completely burned, so the desert scorpions are hiding and dare not come out.
Chen Xiaopang picked up his fine steel shovel that would never leave him, and smashed it towards the slope above the stone rock and the corners of the straight face, causing some frizzy lines to appear at the corners, and then several people helped each other and climbed up again.
However, the slope further up is not only steep, but also slippery and slippery without even a pothole, and there is no place to focus at all, so it is naturally impossible to climb up.
Iron Bull tried, but suddenly slid down to the sand below, and he hurriedly got up and climbed back up to the corner of the rock.
Fortunately, when several people were almost desperate, the cry of the Golden Pupil Condor reached their ears.
Several people were overjoyed, and hurriedly tied Chen Xiaopang's fine steel shovel to the rope, and then let the golden pupil condor grab the shovel handle and fly up to a high place.
The fine steel shovel weighs more than 20 catties, and if it is an ordinary eagle, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch.
But the Golden Pupil Condor is not an ordinary eagle, and it is really extremely spiritual, not only grabbing the steel shovel and flying to a high place, but also jamming the steel shovel horizontally at an exit above.
Tie Niu and the others climbed up the stone rock along the rope, and before they could sit down and rest, they heard a series of gunshots below, and Tie Niu hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted, and then he joined Bai Yang and the other three.
Iron Bull's narration is basically simple and to the point, and his eloquence is not very good, so it is not very exciting.
But several people still heard it in shock, and at the same time, they were even more saddened by Chen Dalin's tragic end.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard an exclamation in his ears, followed by two gunshots.
"Oh no, something happened!"
The Iron Bull exclaimed in surprise and immediately ran away. Poplar and others naturally followed.
Unexpectedly, he didn't run far, and suddenly a black shadow fell from above.
Poplar glanced at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Who is it? Who fell?"
It's a pity that no one can see clearly.
Tie Niu only said: "It's not a red apricot, is it?
Again, no one could answer Iron Bull, who could only spread his legs and run faster.
Fortunately, before they spoke, they had already walked around the stone wall of the cave along the passage a few times, so it didn't take long for them to arrive at the place where Hongxing and the others were staying.
There is also an open cave, and there is also a rock in front of the cave that extends towards the top of the cliff.
It's just that this stone cave is more spacious than the tomb of King Cheng below, and the stone rock is also wider and longer, stretching out seven or eight meters away.
There is also a coffin on the top of Shi Yan, and the physique of the coffin is also larger than that of King Cheng.
The strange thing is that Fang Cai obviously saw a figure falling into the abyss, and he had heard exclamations and gunshots before, but at this moment there were three people in front of them, who were Hong Xing, Chen Xiaopang, and Max.
"What's going on? who just fell?" Iron Bull asked, his eyes suddenly widening, "It can't be...... With the three of you, I'll get rid of that Ao Jian mage, right?"
"No!" Hongxing shook her head in shock, "Just now...... I was looking at the mural with the little fat brother, and Max was guarding the entrance of the cave, but unexpectedly...... Out of nowhere, a man suddenly appeared, the same man we met at the northwest entrance yesterday, he was so terrible, his eyes were glazed, and he was trembling when he walked!"
She probably remembered the terrible situation of the previous person, and couldn't help but gasp.
Chen Xiaopang continued: "We saw him pitiful, and we wanted to ask him what was wrong with him, if he wanted to eat something and drink saliva, but unexpectedly he suddenly hugged Max, and opened his mouth like crazy and bit Max's shoulder. Hongxing and I were so frightened that we tried to tear him away, but he was so strong that he hugged Max tightly and refused to let go. Mads was so angry that he had to shoot him several times with his gun before pushing him away. As a result, Max got so hard that he pushed him off the cliff!"
Poplar turned his head to look at Max, only to see that Max's shoulder was red, and it seemed that he had been bitten lightly.
Chu Changjiang smiled bitterly and said: "The two of us are really unlucky, I was also scratched by that King Cheng on the shoulder with a few blood marks, fortunately it is not serious, it seems that you are more seriously injured than me!"
As he spoke, he went over to tear open Max's collar to inspect the shoulder injury, and couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly took out the anti-inflammatory medicine powder for first aid from his backpack and sprinkled some on Max's injury.
Max inhaled in pain and scolded in English: "That guy seems to have rabies, I'm really afraid that it will not infect me!"
Chu Changjiang hurriedly comforted him and said: "The rabies virus is to infect each other among living creatures, but there have been no living creatures here for thousands of years, how can there be rabies? Even if there is a mage Ao Jian, but he has lived for more than a thousand years, it is impossible for the rabies virus to lurk in him, and he has not been sick for more than a thousand years, but it has been transmitted to this person who has just come in, right?"
Max was right when he thought about it, so he was a little relieved.
The walls of the cave were also covered with pictures.
And next to the cave wall, there are also some bronze utensils and other antiquities.
Ding Lingling walked in first to look at the pictures, and Bai Yang asked Chen Xiaopang if he had found anything.
Chen Xiaopang said: "According to the inference of these murals in the stone cave, it can be determined that this coffin should be prepared for Ao Jian, and these antique artifacts should be Ao Jian's daily use." ”
He smiled bitterly when he said this, and then said, "These things obviously have traces of recent use, but they are just ...... We couldn't find the immortal pill, or the immortal pill!"
"What about the coffin? Have you checked the coffin?" Chu Changjiang couldn't help but interject.
"I've been to see that coffin, and the coffin doesn't even have a lid tightly closed, but there is nothing else in it except a jade pillow!"
Poplar looked up, and sure the lid of the coffin had been removed a little bit.
But Chu Changjiang was unwilling, and still walked along the stone rock to the coffin. Poplar hurriedly followed.
The coffin is also a bluestone coffin on the outside, and a mahogany coffin is set inside.
The mahogany coffin also has only the coffin body and no lid, as if it was to facilitate Master Ao Jian to enter and exit the coffin from time to time.
Sure enough, there was nothing else in the mahogany pavilion except a jade pillow.
Chu Changjiang grabbed the edge of the coffin and poked almost his entire head into the coffin, but he couldn't find any fonts or patterns in the coffin.
Bai Yang knew that Chu Changjiang wanted to find an immortal medicine list, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, and walked back to the stone cave with him.
Hong Xing suddenly asked, "You came up from below, did you meet that Ao Jian Master?"
"No!" Ding Lingling immediately shook her head, "If we meet Master Ao Jian, how can we come up so easily!"
"But...... What about Master Ao Jian, why don't you see his figure?" asked Hongxing again.
No one could answer this question, but everyone felt that this mage Ao Jian must be thinking of some vicious way to deal with them when he did not appear in the shadows.
"The madman who bit me must have been driven crazy by this man, right?" said Max in English.
Chu Changjiang helped translate, and then nodded and replied to Max: "It should be! But since he is hiding in the dark and does not appear, at least we can be sure that he is indeed afraid that we have a gun in our hands, so we don't have to worry too much, as long as we are always on guard!"
At the same time as he said this, Ding Lingling also translated it in Chinese for Bai Yang and others.
Several people felt that Chu Changjiang's words were reasonable, so they were a little relieved.
Iron Bull and Max also checked the pistol to make sure it was fully loaded.
Ding Lingling discussed with Chen Xiaopang to put a few small and valuable items in Ao Jian's tomb into their backpacks, and then a few people continued to go up along the narrow passage on the stone wall of the cave to the top of the stone rock, and a more huge stone rock suddenly emerged.
