Chapter 173: Breaking into the Tomb
Just as Luo Qianqian hesitated, the footsteps in front of her were getting closer and closer, and the smell of zombies behind her also wafted in the wind.
Luo Qianqian covered her nose and looked back, as if she had seen zombies shaking their heads. didn't have time to think about it, Luo Qianqian led Qiu Meow into the hole on the side, and it was still pitch black. However, fortunately, Luo Qianqian's night vision ability is okay.
She held the stone wall in her hand and held the ball meow at the same time, carefully stepping on the stone path under her feet. She twitched her nose from time to time to smell the place, but luckily there was no zombie rot.
She planned to hide here for a while, even if it was a dead end ahead.
Moreover, thinking about the situation outside, Jiang Bin and the other scattered immortals will definitely meet that wave of zombies if they go all the way forward. When the time comes, there will be a good show to watch, and you can buy yourself some time to escape.
Luo Qianqian only cared about how to escape, and ignored what the hell this cave was.
In other words, this cave has existed for tens of thousands of years, and the zombies here are not ordinary corpses with an extra breath, but use Gu magic to turn living people into zombies, in order to protect the treasures in this cave.
There are two paths in the cave, one of which leads to the dead end where the wave of zombies is, although there is the sound of wind and water droplets, but it is only caused by the structure of the cave. In order to attract people to the place where the zombies are ambushed, and use the living to feed those zombies.
The other path, the path Luo Qianqian is walking, is very inconspicuous, but it can lead to the core of this cave.
Just rotate a button on the stone wall and just touch it. The stones under the feet of those who walk here will fall.
No, Luo Qianqian was walking forward with her hand on the stone wall, but accidentally pressed a button. The rocks beneath her feet suddenly collapsed, and she led the ball meow down the mechanism below, sliding like a slide to the heart of the cavern.
There was a "thump" above her head, and the mechanism bounced back. When she turned around, all that was left behind her was a high stone wall, very smooth and leading to the top of her head. There's no going back from here, you want to get out. I have to think of another way.
She sighed helplessly. Look back and look around here. There are many torches here, and the four walls are bright and shining, and they are all smooth stone walls. to the top.
Luo Qianqian carefully moved two steps forward with the ball meow. She didn't dare to take one more step any further. In front of her was a waterhole. There was an eerie glow in the light of the torches. Directly above the waterhole, water droplets are constantly dripping, making a "tick-tick" sound. Just like the sound she had just heard in the cave.
Luo Qianqian didn't know how deep the waterhole was, but there were ripples on the waterhole. Judging by the ripples, the direction of the wind is coming in from her left hand side and blowing towards her right hand side.
Out of curiosity about the structure of the cave, Luo Qianqian walked along the edge of the waterhole and led the ball meow to the right hand. She speculated that the top of the right-hand side must be in the same direction as the place she had just walked. In other words, the wind and the sound of water droplets that she sensed at that time were transmitted from here.
If it was as she had guessed, then she could have judged with certainty that this must be a tomb.
Such a well-designed place that leads people to zombies is a dead end that will never be natural. Since it is excavated by hand, it must be a place where dead people live to live at the bottom of this deep pool and valley and use zombies to guard it.
Luo Qianqian used to be in the global village, and she still read some novels about tomb robbing, which is very helpful to her current situation.
In fact, just as Luo Qianqian judged, there was a gap diagonally above the right side of the pool. From the gap came the screams of zombies, accompanied by the rancid smell of corpses.
Directly opposite the gap, there is another hole, but there are a few small grasses and flowers growing at this hole, and they are still swaying in the wind.
That's right! Luo Qianqian understood that as long as she walked through the waterhole and entered the hole, she could leave here.
However, the tombs recorded in tomb robbery novels all have mechanisms. I don't know, in the tomb of the fairy world, there will be a mechanism. Moreover, Luo Qianqian can fly with the sword and fly directly over. However, she didn't dare to act rashly at all, because it was too strange here, especially the torches that were lit.
She leaned in to a torch and looked closely, and saw that it looked like someone had just put it on. It doesn't make sense, if the torch has just been put up, it means that there are still living people here. But what living man wants to show the grave of the dead?
Moreover, this tomb is ancient, and Luo Qianqian saw a detailed record of this tomb on a stone tablet.
The inscriptions are all in ancient script, indicating a long time. The gist of the text is that an early king is buried here, along with one of his favorite treasures, and how to crack it.
This is even more unreasonable, how can it be possible for a king's tomb to be guarded by a living person for tens of thousands of years?
If there are no living people here, the torches are not new. It means that the torch has been burning for 10,000 years, but it looks like new. Why do torches look new, and are they under spell?
The torches have been spelled, so it can be seen that this hole must not be simple, and there may be many places where spells have been cast.
Luo Qianqian looked around at the waterhole and the smooth stone walls around her, and secretly worried in her heart, would there be spells in the air!
She bent down, picked up a pebble from the ground, and threw it into the air. She wanted to test if it was dangerous to fly over the waterhole. As a result, when the pebbles flew to the middle of the pool, all the torches around the edge of the pool breathed fire at the pebbles. The pebbles burned red, then fell into the pool and sank low.
"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Luo Qianqian muttered to herself.
She stooped down again and picked up a stone, sealed the barrier on it, and threw it again over the pool. She wanted to see if the barrier could keep the torch out of flames. However, to Luo Qianqian's disappointment, the pebble still burned red and fell into the pool.
It's not okay to fly over, it will definitely make the fire into barbecue, Luo Qianqian hung her head and prepared to wade through the pool.
However, just then, a behemoth in the waterhole woke up the falling pebbles one after another, and it stood up from the water with a roar.
When this thing came out of the water, Luo Qianqian was stupid, she clearly saw a monster with three heads, six eyes, three mouths, and eight hands stretched out behind her. This thing is still stinky, with rotten algae, unkempt, and fangs and claws.
"Ahh What is this? Luo Qianqian exclaimed, dragging the ball and meowing back...... (To be continued.) )
