Volume 4 The Stormy Waves Chapter 359 The Hanging Mummy
Poplar first tried two javelins, but found that the javelins were too short, and if he was holding the javelins upright, it would be difficult for his feet to leave the ground.
And let's be honest, it's actually easier to get the balance done when you go backwards.
However, Poplar considered that the tip of the javelin was thinner, and it was difficult to grasp it with his hands, so he could only turn the javelin around, and it would be easier to hold the ground in a blunt position.
However, the blunt position is easy to slip on the ground, so Poplar removed the waterproof bag with the dagger in his waist, wrapped the blunt position of the javelin, and tied it tightly with a rope.
Seeing him do this, Iron Bull automatically removed the waterproof pouch from his waist and wrapped the blunt position of the other javelin.
Poplar then grabbed the javelin upside down with both hands, so that the tip of the javelin was pointing upwards, and as if he were playing acrobatics, he pressed the blunt position wrapped in the waterproof jacket against the left corner of the wall, and then he strained his feet, and his whole body turned upside down, and the two toes kicked the top of the right wall.
Then he shifted his javelin forward alternately with both hands, and at the same time his feet shook slightly on top to keep his body balanced.
The two javelins supported Poplar's upside-down body in this way, moving forward along the gap between the left corner of the wall and the black thorn on the ground. It is much faster than moving forward with the friction between your arms and legs and the wall, and it also requires a lot less effort.
Tie Niu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "You still have a way! And I can do this posture too, I feel that it really saves a lot of effort!"
Poplar knew he could do it too, but he didn't have time to talk to him at this moment, so he just concentrated on holding on to the javelin and moving forward.
It took about five or six minutes for the poplar to pass through the passage more than ten meters long and full of black thorns, and gently fell to the ground.
This seemed quite easy, but in fact, all the strength was used on both hands, so Poplar only felt stiffness and pain in both hands, and it took a few fingers to slowly recover.
Instead of panicking to observe the space in front of him, he turned his head and threw the javelin at Iron Bull. Iron Bull threw him two air canisters and an explosives pack.
After that, Iron Bull also grabbed the two javelins upside down, in a head-to-foot position, with both feet on the right wall, and both hands grasping the javelins, slowly moving at the base of the left wall.
It also took about five minutes for the Iron Bull to reach Poplar's side, and one turned over and stood up straight.
The brothers looked at each other and smiled, and then looked into the space in front of them.
It was a large cylindrical space, the diameter of the space was seven to eight meters, and the ground in the space was empty and there was nothing, but under the roof of the space, there were three strange objects that were similar to diamonds.
The height of that space is more than three meters, but these three diamond-shaped objects are about the same height as the human body, so their bottom is only one meter four and one meter five from the ground.
But the object was pitch black, and I didn't know what it was made of, and I didn't know what it was for.
Tie Niu immediately felt an ominous sign, and he didn't dare to go into the space to get close to the object, but asked Bai Yang: "Old Bai, do you say that these three strange things are a very evil mechanism?
"I can't say anything about that, let's just try to be careful!" said Poplar.
"Anyway, I think these three strange things are very ominous, or I will shoot the hook hanging from these three things and let it fall directly!" Iron Bull said again.
The top of the thing was smaller and the bottom was slightly larger, and the aspen and the iron bull were both more than 1.8 meters tall, so it was a hook embedded in the top of the space that could clearly be seen hanging from the object.
The hook was also pitch black, but it was an antiquity from a thousand years ago, and even if it looked as good as new on the surface, it would never be as strong as new, and at such a close distance, the Iron Bull was confident that he would be able to hit the gun.
But Poplar shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a good idea! You see, these three strange things are not very delicately made, and there are no small holes in their surfaces, so they should not be high-tech mechanisms." I think these three strange things are hanging here to attract people who enter the tomb to inspect and destroy. Once these three things are broken, the things inside will come out and harm people. β
"And what do you think there's going to be in there?" Iron Bull asked again.
"How can I know this? Anyway, I think it's better for us not to touch these three things!"
"Then don't leave it! I don't know what's going on, but I feel like I'm hairy when I see these three things hanging here!"
Poplar actually had the same feeling as the Iron Bull, but Poplar didn't say anything more, just crouched down and hit the ground with a javelin, listening carefully as he struck it.
Iron Bull kept quiet. After a while, Poplar stood up, raised his head and looked carefully at the wall and roof, and then said: "There should be no other harmful mechanisms in this space, so I can be more sure that these three things must be hiding extremely powerful traps, and it is possible that they contain strange things similar to water zombies." β
"Then let's leave it alone, let's find out where the passage is!" said Iron Bull.
Poplar nodded, and although he was almost sure that there were no other harmful mechanisms in this space, he still held the javelin and walked forward, tapping on the ground.
He first searched carefully along the circular corner of the wall, trying to find the hidden passage.
It's a pity that after a circle, there is no gain.
He had to slowly search around the space and the ground, and the process took more than half an hour, but there was still no gain. It's as if the space in front of you is the core of the tomb, and there is no way to go further in.
But this space could not be the core burial chamber, at least it didn't even have a coffin, let alone a burial object or anything like that.
Poplar had no choice but to turn his head and look at the three strange objects hanging from the roof again.
"What's going on? What do you think...... The passage out will have something to do with these three strange things?" Iron Bull asked.
"Quite possibly!" Poplar nodded, "I'm sure there aren't any traps on the surrounding walls or on the floor of this room, so I'm afraid you'll have to take a closer look at these three strange things to find the secret passage to the core burial chamber." β
"Think about it!" Tie Niu also nodded, "If we can find the secret passage without touching these three strange things at all, wouldn't it be a waste for the tomb owner to place these three strange things here......?" The more we dare not touch something, the more we must touch it!"
"Yes, you're right!" Poplar smiled at Tie Niu, "Then let's take a closer look at these three things!"
"I still have to study it, I don't have such skills!" Iron Bull smiled.
Poplar nodded, cautiously approached one of the dangling diamond-shaped objects, and looked up to take a closer look.
It was as black as it was made of black stone, and its shape was similar to that of a diamond, but it did not have the edges and corners of a diamond, but it was very similar to the shape of the pendant that hung from the poplar's neck.
And because it is hidden on the bottom of the sea, there is no dust on it, but the humidity is large, so there is no luster on the surface. When I touch it with my hands, it is a little sticky and astringent.
Just as Poplar tried to touch it with his hand, he noticed that it looked like it was hanging from a hook, but under his touch, it didn't shake at all.
So the aspen changed to touch to push-
Of course, he didn't dare to push too hard, he just nudged it lightly to make sure that the thing was indeed fixed tightly.
"This thing is really weird! Go away, old black, I'll try to spin and see!" said Poplar.
"Why do I want to go farther?" Tie Niu immediately objected, "If you want me to say let me turn, you should go farther! Usually there is danger for you to block, today this has no technical content, I should do it!"
He spoke in his mouth, but he was afraid that Poplar would come with him, so he simply took advantage of Poplar's defenselessness and pushed Poplar hard with his hand.
Pushing Poplar staggering a little farther away, he rushed forward by himself and grabbed the diamond-shaped object that Poplar had just observed with both hands and turned it hard.
"Be careful, don't exert too much force!" Poplar squealed in fright.
I don't want to turn the first turn and I didn't move.
The Iron Bull smiled at the poplar, retracted his strength a little, and then turned slightly in the other direction.
There was a movement in this turn, and the diamond-shaped object was turned in the direction of the iron bull, and when it was about ninety degrees, it could not turn.
During this period, not only was the iron bull worried, but the poplar on the side was even more heart-hanging.
Thankfully, nothing happened, neither the hidden weapon nor the diamond-shaped object cracked.
"It doesn't seem to work!" Iron Bull turned to look at Poplar.
"No, it's because nothing happened that it shows that the passage out must have something to do with these three strange things. It's just that you've only turned one, and it should be that all three weird things have been turned to be effective!"
Poplar said as he approached another diamond-shaped object.
Iron Bull didn't wait for him to say, and immediately threw away the previous diamond-shaped object and walked under the third diamond-shaped object.
The brothers each held one in their hands and turned it slightly.
Sure enough, it was so immediate, when the two diamond-shaped objects were all unable to rotate, first heard a slight sound of "squeaking", followed by the poplar iron bull at the same time felt a sinking of his hand, as if the diamond-shaped object suddenly decoupled from the top.
It was also at that same time that the diamond-shaped object that was first turned by the iron bull had already taken the lead in falling from the roof and falling to the ground with a "bang".
The poplar iron bull couldn't reach it, and the other two diamond-shaped objects crooked in their hands, and they also fell to the ground, making a loud "bang" sound.
Poplar Iron Bull was taken aback and jumped away.
Poplar glanced at the roof and saw a large circular hole in the roof, and it seemed that the passage he had just been unable to find was actually hidden in the roof.
But at this moment they had no chance to climb up to the roof and enter the passage, because the three diamond-shaped objects fell to the ground and all cracked from them, and sure enough, three terrible things were swaying and getting up from the cracked diamond-shaped objects.
"This, this, this...... How does it look like a mummy?" the Iron Bull cried.
It was like three mummies.
They have human limbs, but the limbs are covered with white cloth, and even their faces are tightly wrapped in white clothβ
In fact, it can't be said to be strict, because the three mummies all have their eyes exposed, and above their heads, they actually flutter like they have long black hair.
"Are these three female mummies?" the Iron Bull cried again.
