Chapter 27: The Fall (Part II)
Wang Xingguo sat on the stone slab, the backpack on his body was not untied, he just cushioned the backpack and half leaned back, drank a sip of water, and looked at the pile of rocks in a daze, did the expedition team 20 years ago really enter the coffin mountain from here? What really happened to them? Those corpses crawled here, but how could dead people still crawl? Animal handling? But what about animals? This area is different from all the places I have been, the place where the grass flourishes is a paradise for insects, this lignified herb is the favorite food of locusts, but not to mention locusts here, there are no insects of any kind, no cockroaches, no crickets, not even earthworms! That's too much to say......
And those ghost eyes, the symptoms of drowsiness and dizziness in the expedition, the yin soldiers at the door of the ghost gate, and the few words that Xia Ruobing's mother specially emphasized, what is the relationship between all this?
Xia Ruobing also sat next to Wang Xingguo, saw Wang Xingguo in a daze, and asked, "That's it?" ”
Xia Ruobing is still not giving up, if his mother's record is true, it will be a major discovery in the archaeological community! It will add a missing link to the mystery of the disappearance of the Loulan people.
"I can only ...... like this" Wang Xingguo pulled his thoughts back, he was not curious, but curiosity at this time could not help, it was likely to be trouble.
His job is to take people on expeditions, not to look for trouble, and Wang Xingguo must avoid trouble.
"Huh......" Xia Ruobing let out a long breath unwillingly, looking at the pile of rocks with some resentment, it is likely that all the answers are in this pile of stones, but now even if they are close, they can't find the answers.
Sherpa stood, looking around, he didn't give up, maybe the corpse was hiding from him, I don't know where it came out again, Mr. Min held the camera, looked around with a telephoto lens, although he couldn't shoot, but maybe he could see something from the lens.
But everyone understands that even if the corpse comes out again at this time, there is no time to track it down, and the expedition team of 20 years ago was wiped out after spending the night here, and no one can guarantee that they will not repeat the same mistakes after spending the night here.
"......" Chen Badai was very depressed, what is going on? He seemed to see the corpse laughing at him now: "Sample, you're still chasing me with your three-legged cat kung fu?" "If I hadn't been scared and hesitated for a while, I would have pressed the corpse to the ground and beaten it violently! You have to kill him!
Uh, wait, it's called a corpse when it's dead, and then beat the dead corpse to death? What's that? Chen Badai was annoyed by his hesitation just now, and saw that there was a stone next to him, about the size of a palm, with a pointed end like a chisel, he felt a little tired, sat down, picked up the stone, and played with the pointed end of the ground boringly, in order to relieve the depression in his heart.
Everyone didn't speak anymore, listening to Chen Badai chiseling the ground "click...... Click...... The sound of "......", a few minutes later, everyone will be evacuated, maybe they will not come back, today's climate is very good, there is no fog, and no one is dizzy, Wang Xingguo looked at the coffin mountain and his own location, and estimated the location of the ghost gate, as long as he can see the landmark, everything is easy to do, he estimated, about ten o'clock in the evening, he can leave the ghost gate, and then stay outside the ghost gate for one night, and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning.
"Bang bang...... Bite...... Bang ......"
"Huh?" Chen Badai was strange, and another sound came, as if something was rolling down from a high place, but it didn't sound real from something.
Wang Xingguo also heard it, he looked around suspiciously, there was nothing around, how could there be such a sound?
"Neurotic ......" Chen Badai felt that he should have heard it wrong, and continued to play with the stone on the ground, and at this time a small pit had been carved out of the stone slab.
Why is this rock slab so brittle? Chen Badai was a little puzzled, looked at the stone in his hand, looked at the slate again, and chiseled a few times.
"Click......" The stone slab shook for a moment, Chen Badai held the stone and fixed it there, and he saw that from the edge of the small pit that was hewn, there were several cracks.
"Chen Badai, what are you doing?" Sherpa screamed with a thud from his feet.
Wang Xingguo was also puzzled, and then there was another clicking sound, as if something had cracked, and Chen Badai watched as the cracks began to expand.
Wang Xingguo secretly screamed in his heart, bowed down, and heard the sound of something cracking, which came from the ground.
"Let's go, it's empty down there!" Wang Xingguo shouted, such a sturdy stone slab, who would have thought that it was empty?
"I ...... I didn't do anything......" Chen Badai was very depressed, he was just bored and knocked on the stones to play!
As soon as Chen Badai's words fell, the cracks around him suddenly cracked, and with a violent cracking sound, Chen Badai's body tilted, and half of his body fell.
"Be careful!" The Sherpa not far away stepped over a few steps, reached out and grabbed Chen Badai's clothes, Mr. Min also rushed over to help, but just took two steps, how could he not stand steadily, he saw the Sherpa lying on the ground and grasping Chen Badai's clothes, but the surrounding stone slabs were cracking, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and before he could understand what was going on, his feet were empty, and he felt that his body seemed to be weightless, and then his eyes were dark, and he tried to grab something nearby with his hands indiscriminately, but nothing was caught, All he could hear was a chaotic crackling sound around him, and then Mr. Min seemed to be hit in the back by something, then on the arm, then on the stomach, and he couldn't do anything, but passively endured it, until something hit him hard behind his head, and he fainted......
Wang Xingguo sat on the stone slab, the backpack on his body was not untied, he just cushioned the backpack and half leaned back, drank a sip of water, and looked at the pile of rocks in a daze, did the expedition team 20 years ago really enter the coffin mountain from here?

That's too much to say......
And those ghost eyes, the symptoms of drowsiness and dizziness in the expedition, the yin soldiers at the door of the ghost gate, and the few words that Xia Ruobing's mother specially emphasized, what is the relationship between all this?
Xia Ruobing also sat next to Wang Xingguo, saw Wang Xingguo in a daze, and asked, "That's it?" ”
