Chapter 629: One Hundred Corpses (Text)
You can imagine how terrifying these bolts must have been when they were fired out of those holes!
This kind of crossbow can almost be said to be one of the most powerful mechanisms in ancient tombs, of course, excluding the siege crossbow in the exquisite ancient city, and the Zhuge repeater in Zhuge Liang's tomb.
The power of this crossbow arrow is like a bullet now, Zhang Meng looked at the dense honeycomb mouth, and still felt a little hairy in his heart.
Although this tomb has gone through a long time, Zhang Meng is not sure whether all the crossbow arrows in the dense honeycomb mouth have been shot, and if there are still one or two crossbow arrows in it, then he will definitely die.
Zhang Meng fumbled around for a while, he found a few stones and threw them into the passage.
The stones rolled back and forth in the passage, and did not trigger those crossbow arrows, Zhang Meng still felt a little uneasy, and he threw four or five stones in a row in different directions, large and small, but these stones did not cause any visions wherever they went, and Zhang Meng was slightly relieved.
He smiled bitterly, estimating that all the arrows here had been shot, and this powerful mechanism was a little fragile in front of the crowd tactics.
And look at the passage, there are scattered stones everywhere, and it is estimated that the people who entered here before used to trigger the crossbow bolt mechanism in the passage.
Zhang Meng stepped on the ground and walked over step by step, fortunately, the people who had passed before had already felt that the mechanism here had been completely ruled out, and Zhang Meng passed through this place.
Not far away, he saw four or five more skeletons split in two from their waists.
Zhang Meng was a little vigilant and did not walk over directly.
He looked at the wooden puppet next to the bones on the ground, this puppet was no stranger to him, Zhang Meng had seen similar puppets in the Exquisite Ancient City, and that kind of lethality was now terrifying to Zhang Meng.
However, the civilization of the ancient country is definitely separated from China for 5,000 years and has reached another height, and there is no way to connect the two.
The Exquisite Ancient City gave Zhang Meng a feeling of unreality, even the structure of the tomb was not something that the current human beings could make.
There is also the puppet, the artificial hell, the four gods, and the Qin Mirror's replication technology. No matter which one of them is an unbelievable thing, but they are all mixed in a tomb, so it highlights the horror of this tomb, Zhang Meng doesn't understand what the appearance of this tomb will bring to him and even the people around him?
After probing for a while, Zhang Meng finally made sure that the wooden puppet next to the bones would not move, so he walked over slowly.
He kicked the log, and there was a thick sensation on his tiptoes.
Zhang Meng squatted down, he carefully examined the wooden puppet, this puppet was almost one meter five meters high, and at its waist was a gear-like thing, and a cow tendon was tied to it.
When Zhang Meng saw the two arms of this puppet, he was immediately startled, under that arm, there was actually a short sword with a cold atmosphere!
And these two arms are designed to be so deceptive that they can be completely hidden in the body of the wood, and when viewed from a distance, it seems as if it were a cylindrical wooden stake, and when someone touches it, the rubber band in the middle will bounce open, allowing the short sword of the wooden man's arm to stretch out, and then spin one by one.
This design is simply exquisite!
No wonder the skeletons next to them were directly cut into two without any struggle.
Zhang Meng sighed secretly, the owner of this tomb is definitely not very human, but in front of the tomb robbers who have gone forward one after another, these organs with amazing lethality are a little pale.
He shook his head and continued walking.
The curiosity in Zhang Meng's heart became even stronger, what was the purpose of the owner of this tomb who had carefully designed so many traps?
If, as the Panchen Lama said, this is just a grave of doubt, then the price to be paid for this grave seems to be too great, right?
Or maybe it's hiding some secrets, but it's just not discovered.
Zhang Meng's heartbeat intensified, and he always felt that when the Panchen Lama explained things to everyone, many things were deliberately vague.
Like the curse in the village, he just said a Buddhist 'cause and effect', which is obviously too general, and there are many things that the Panchen Lama seems unwilling to say to Zhang Meng.
He kept saying that he had seen something bad, was it something here that made the Panchen feel that once the secrets here were leaked, it would definitely bring about greater disasters?
The more Zhang Meng thought about it, the more frightened he became, this feeling of not knowing anything was uncomfortable, he looked at the depths of the tomb, gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward, they have all come here, and they will go back without checking something, it is too much to say.
The light on the torch flickered and became a little dim.
Zhang Meng was startled, and the speed under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little, he couldn't see his five fingers here, it was the same day and night, if he let the torch go out, he might have to move forward in the dark in this place where he couldn't see his five fingers.
After a long journey, Zhang Meng saw a lot of strange mechanisms, which almost opened Zhang Meng's eyes.
The sheer variety of mechanisms here is simply shocking, and there are many things that Zhang Meng doesn't even understand how they kill and injure these tomb robbers.
Zhang Meng counted all the way, there were nearly a hundred corpses on the ground, and according to Zhang Meng's observation, these more than 100 corpses should be tomb robbers in the past few decades, this number is a bit exaggerated, like tomb robbers are generally a team of four or five people acting together, there will be no more.
The larger the number of people, the less money will be shared, and the larger the number of people, the more intrigue will be generated.
Therefore, unless the people who fight are related to each other by blood, or friends of life and death, they generally do not unite to fight.
Even if it is united, the people of the two sides will inevitably be wary of each other and will not relax for a moment.
Under this cluster of loess, I don't know how many bones have been buried because of black eating black, and they will remain forever.
In other words, if you don't count those villagers, there are at least 20 tomb robbers here, which is already an exaggerated number.
These tomb robbers went one after another, and broke through these organs along the way, but it was convenient for Zhang Meng, Zhang Meng's mind gradually relaxed all the way over, almost all the organs have been trampled on, I don't know how many batches of tomb robbers have been patronized by the villagers since they were discovered by the villagers.
After knowing the general situation, Zhang Meng's speed was much faster, and he almost trotted all the way over.
"What the is this?"
After trotting for about ten minutes, Zhang Meng was stunned by a pile of dirt in front of him.
The location here is very empty, this stone chamber should be about ten meters high, but at the entrance, there is already a small dirt mountain!
He stared at the little dirt mountain, and his face suddenly turned very pale.
This is a goddamn quicksand mound!
Zhang Meng secretly calculated his location just now, from the time he came in to the present, there has always been only one passage in this ancient tomb.
The curve leads straight to the secluded, and there is not a single fork in the road.
This road is like a 'Hui' shape, with a three-dimensional structure gradually shrinking to the middle, Zhang Meng calculated the distance, and this should be the main burial chamber of this ancient tomb.
And this hill-like quicksand mound actually appeared in front of him, Zhang Meng looked at the huge pile of sand and stones, he didn't need to look at it to already know that there must be a lot of bones buried underneath.
The terrifying thing about the Quicksand Mound is its area of effect and wide range attacks, leaving tomb robbers with nowhere to run.
No matter how good you are, you will be buried alive by quicksand.
Zhang Meng lifted a thirty-four-pound stone on the surface, and several water chestnuts of the stone were polished extremely sharp, like a knife edge, Zhang Meng's fingers rubbed it, and suddenly a piece of skin and flesh was scraped off. If you hit your head, I'm afraid that even the hardest skull in the body will have to be cut into several pieces.
Zhang Meng could almost predict that there must be countless corpses of tragic deaths hidden under this mound of earth and rocks.
Zhang Meng touched the pile of earth and stones, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he made a drum for a long time before he arrived at the main tomb, but he didn't expect to be blocked by a mountain of earth.
He stared at the mountain of dirt, but he couldn't think of anything about it.
Even if he were given an electric drill now, he wouldn't be able to pass through here!
Could it be that he is going to turn back the same way now, looking at the torch in his hand, Zhang Meng is too late to go back even if he trots back.
"!"
Zhang Meng kicked the mound angrily, and suddenly the sand on the mound rolled down quickly.
Rustle rustle...... Rustle rustle......
A crisp sound came from the mound, Zhang Meng was stunned, he looked around for a while, and felt that the sound did not seem to be made by the sand on the surface.
He climbed on top of the mound and pressed his ear to it, and now he heard a series of small sounds from it, like the faint sound of sand and gravel falling continuously.
What's the situation?
Zhang Meng was a little inexplicable, he slapped the mound of dirt without believing it, and the voice actually became a little faster.
There is a gap in the sand!
Zhang Meng suddenly became excited, if this pile of dirt and mountains was pressed solidly, then it would be absolutely impossible to have this kind of sound, and now it is obvious that there are some gaps in this sandy soil, and this gap does not seem to be very small.
Zhang Meng found a stone around, smashed the outermost layer of soil vigorously, and then removed the hardened stones one by one.
Not here? Zhang Meng groped for most of the day, but did not find any holes at the bottom.
