Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 038 Red-Haired Zombie

Poplar took a closer look at the tomb boy, and first saw a few pairs of white bones on the ground.

It was obviously human bones, and one of them was scattered on the ground, probably broken up by him during the fierce fight with the Iron Bull.

And the "wooden stick" that he just touched when he knocked the iron bull in his hand was actually a thigh bone.

Poplar immediately realized that these white bones were all inverted people who had entered here before.

Among them, there were two complete white bones entangled with each other, and they must have been deceived by the illusion, just like Fang Cai and Iron Bull attacked each other, and they both died.

There are also some tools for exploring tombs on the ground, which were naturally brought in by these people.

But since these people have all turned into white bones, it must have been a long time ago.

It is estimated that half a month ago, as soon as the four inverted bucket people got into the hole, they were attacked by the bone-eating fireflies, and they didn't enter here at all.

Otherwise, those four will definitely be wiped out, and it will be impossible for any of them to escape.

In addition, the four stone beasts standing in the four corners of the tomb seem to look like tigers but not tigers, like lions and not lions, which should be the images of mythical beasts worshiped by the ancients.

The stone statues scattered in all corners of the tomb have different images.

There were four bodies that were majestic and tall, and they looked like four guards.

Two others were like maids, and two were like servants.

And these two maids and two servants are also different. Some are serving water, and some are sweeping the floor. Another knelt in front of the sarcophagus, as if waiting for his master to get out of bed and wait for a change of clothes.

Although Bai Yang has no research on archaeology, he can understand that these four stone beasts and eight stone men are already rare treasures in the archaeological world.

But the problem is that in such a spacious burial chamber, there are no other burial goods except for stone beasts and stone people.

There are no gold and jade ornaments, vases, ceramics, or bronze utensils.

And all the burial goods in the ancient tomb are basically things used by the tomb owner during his lifetime.

The more luxurious the owner of the tomb was during his lifetime, and the more various utensils he used, the larger and more luxurious his tomb would be.

But this burial chamber is empty, could it be that this is still not the main burial chamber?

If this is not the main burial chamber, then who is in this sarcophagus?

Tie Niu said that he saw Hongxing enter here with his own eyes, but this tomb can be seen clearly at a glance, and there is no Hongxing figure, could it be that Hongxing went to the main tomb?

Poplar pondered in his heart, and went to his backpack to find the old bell and put it on his wrist.

As his wrist shook, the old bell's voice was unusually hoarse.

Poplar's heart became more and more frightened, and he couldn't help but look around again, when he suddenly heard a cry of pain, and Tie Niu rubbed his head that he had knocked with a bone stick and sat up.

"How did I lie on the ground...... There's blood on his head!" Tie Niu exclaimed, looking up at Poplar with a confused face, "My throat hurts too, what happened?"

Poplar didn't move, and said, "Just now, the two of us had an illusion and fought each other, and my throat was about to be choked by you!"

He pointed to the ground and said, "Look at these white bones on the ground, there may be people who have beaten each other to death, and we can save our lives for the time being, which is already a great luck!"

Tie Niu looked at the ground in a daze, then looked at the poplar, and said, "It's so scary, then the two of us...... Will there be any more hallucinations?"

"I don't know, I can only say that I hope not!" Bai Yang sighed, "Before the next illusion occurs, let's see if we can rescue Hongxing in time!"

"That's right, Hongxing!" Tie Niu jumped up suddenly, "How long have I fainted, we have to hurry up and save Hongxing!"

"I didn't faint for long, but to save Hongxing, we have to know where she is first! There is no passage on all sides of this tomb, we have to find a way to find the passage first!"

"Then hurry up and find it!" said Tie Niu, anxiously walking directly to Poplar.

"I'm trying to figure out a way! But neither of us has ever been in the tomb, and we have no experience with the mechanisms and facilities in the tomb! The only thing that makes me feel strange is that since there are no burial goods in this tomb, it should not be the main tomb. But if it's not the main burial chamber, why would there be such a sarcophagus here?"

"You mean, it's possible that the passage is in this sarcophagus?" Iron Bull asked immediately.

"I don't know!" Poplar shook his head, "and...... Even if the passage is in this sarcophagus, then this sarcophagus must have a mechanism or something. If we move the coffin lid, it is likely to cause the mechanism to activate. ”

"No matter, if you delay it any longer, I don't know what will happen to Hongxing, so I let it go!"

Tie Niu didn't say a word, he had to push the sarcophagus with his hands.

Poplar was helpless and pushed the sarcophagus with him.

The sarcophagus was much larger than the previous Qin Dynasty Taoist priest's sarcophagus, and Poplar originally thought that it must be extremely difficult to push, and maybe a crowbar would be used.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a strong effort, the sarcophagus lid was moved to the side.

Poplar was afraid that some crossbow arrows, poisonous water and other mechanisms would suddenly spray, so he hurriedly pulled the iron bull, and the two of them jumped backwards together.

But nothing happened, and the candlelight reflected the lid of the coffin, but the inside of the sarcophagus was dark.

There was also an extremely strange smell that rushed into my nose, a bit like rotten eggs, and a bit like spoiled cured meat.

"What does this smell like? These people on the ground have turned to white bones, are the people inside this coffin not completely rotten?" Iron Bull asked.

Bai Yang also felt strange in his heart, but he could only hold his breath and approached the sarcophagus to look down.

Because the four candles were placed on the ground, the sarcophagus was covered by shadows and could not be seen clearly, only a human body was vaguely seen inside, and the human body seemed to be furry.

Poplar took out a flashlight in his trouser pocket and shone it into the sarcophagus.

This photo only frightened the iron bull and cried out "ah", and Poplar involuntarily retreated again.

This tomb is said to be a Tang Dynasty tomb, and judging from the skeletons lying on the ground, even if it is not a Tang Dynasty tomb, the corpses in the tomb should have turned into dry bones.

But no!

Poplar and Iron Bull clearly saw that there was a naked man lying in the sarcophagus—

Maybe it's not naked, but the clothes on the man's body have long been turned into dust.

But I couldn't tell what the man's skin color or appearance were, because all over his body was covered with short dark red hair, and it felt like he had been moldy after too long.

"What's going on, it's not going to be ...... The legendary big zongzi, right?" Tie Niu asked.

Poplar tensed, nodded and said, "Yes, and this is...... The most powerful red rice dumplings!"

He removed the light of the flashlight from the man's corpse and hurriedly beckoned Iron Bull to close the lid again.

But it was too late, as the light of the four candles suddenly jumped, reflecting the shadows in the tomb and the yin qi swirling, the red-haired zombie in the sarcophagus sat up very suddenly, and a head turned flat like a doll, and opened its eyes to the poplar.

The flickering candlelight was cast on its face, and Poplar saw that its two eyeballs were red and red, but only eyeballs, not eyes.

Poplar made an "ahhh

The red-haired zombie's body flicked, it felt like a spring was installed under the buttocks, and it bounced out of the sarcophagus stiffly, and with a "tom" sound, his feet fell to the ground, and his two slender and sharp claws stretched forward and grabbed the poplar in front of him.

Poplar suddenly remembered that there was glutinous rice in his trouser pocket, and immediately grabbed a handful and threw it at the zombie.

But it's useless, although glutinous rice can ward off evil spirits, it can't cure zombies.

Instead, the zombie let out a hoarse howl from its throat, jumped hard, and pounced on the poplar in the face.

Iron Bull picked up a shovel from the ground and slammed it on the red-haired zombie's back.

But the shovel was already rotting, and the handle of the shovel broke with a "click", but the red-haired zombie quickly turned back to face the iron bull.

Without waiting for the Iron Bull to dodge backwards, the zombie swept its cross arm and hit the Iron Bull's waist at once, knocking the Iron Bull's entire body out, and actually fell into the open sarcophagus with a "plop".

Poplar took this opportunity to grab the black sword, just as the zombie turned around, Poplar stabbed out with a sword, stabbing the zombie's body through.

But the zombie didn't notice it, grabbed the black sword with one hand, raised it with the other, and grabbed it at Poplar's face.

Poplar had no choice but to let go of his sword and jumped backwards.

He still has a small bag of loose salt in his trouser pocket, but he has heard from his grandfather that salt is to restrain zombies by stuffing them directly into the zombies' mouths.

If you just sprinkle salt on the zombie, although it can cause the zombie body to corrode slightly, it will not destroy the zombie completely.

So Poplar didn't dare to open the cloth bag and directly grabbed the loose salt and sprinkled it on the red-haired zombie, seeing that the zombie pounced again, Poplar slid down with a short body, and suddenly got behind the zombie, turned over and grabbed the zombie's shoulder.

I felt that the zombie was sticky and slippery, and it was extremely disgusting, but Poplar couldn't care about it so much at the moment, and with the power of this grab, Poplar jumped and lay on the back of the zombie.

He wanted to grab the zombie's neck and mouth with both hands, and force the salt bag into the zombie's mouth.

But the zombie ignored his hard wrench, and instead grabbed Poplar's shoulders with his hands backwards at an angle that would be difficult for a normal living person to do.

Poplar felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and before he could react, the zombie had thrown his body straight forward.

There was a "flutter" sound, and the poplar fell to the ground, and he fell so dizzy that his head was swollen and numb.

Suddenly, he heard a strange roar, and Poplar rolled on the ground in shock, followed by the oolong hinch half-squatted up, and then looked at the zombie.

I can't help but be surprised when I see it!

Iron Bull didn't know when he had jumped out of the sarcophagus, and at this moment he was lying on the back of the zombie, his face was blood-red, and even his eyes were blood-red, which seemed to be exactly the same as when the poison of the blood wolf in his body attacked.
