Chapter 68 Municipal Appeal for Help1
In the dark and deep cavern, green light was emitted all over the body, and a miserable white human face suddenly poked out from behind the strange sarcophagus suspended in mid-air.
The face was so white that even the green light that floated in the sky could not hide its white paper-like color, its mouth opened in a posture beyond the limits of human beings, but its eyes and nose were deeply sunken. The whole face looks ghostly, like a mummy in an American thriller blockbuster.
Rao is Dongfang Xiaobai went through the wind and waves in the north and south, and when he saw this scene in this mysterious and unpredictable environment, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and cold sweat came out of his forehead, he reached out and dragged it on his waist, and pulled out a stainless steel soft sword wrapped there.
Although Dongfang Xiaobai's soft sword is not an ancient famous sword, it is also a high-strength alloy forged by the current process, sharp, flexible and elastic, usually wrapped around the waist just like a belt, and when in case of danger, it is a sharp weapon for self-defense.
As soon as this sword came out, it suddenly shone brightly, and it was brilliant and dazzling in the green light-filled cave.
Qin Yufei beside her saw this scene, but there was a crying and laughing expression on her pretty face, she hurriedly grabbed Dongfang Xiaobai, who was about to go up and fight with that face, "Don't be nervous, what you see is just a statue." ”
What the? Statue?
Dongfang Xiaobai listened to Qin Yufei's words, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, the palpitating feeling was too realistic. But when he looked closely, although the human face was strange and hideous, the scene was always motionless, and it was not a ghost who took people's lives in an instant as he imagined.
Dongfang Xiaobai suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and then became angry, and said in his heart, Little witch, you are too unrighteous, you have been here more than once, it is impossible not to know the strangeness of this statue, but you deliberately hide it from me, so that I am frightened. Of course, it's a small thing to scare me, if this is spread out, Dongfang Xiaobai of the Oriental family was scared half to death by a statue, so it doesn't make the martial arts people in the world laugh off their big teeth?
He glared at Qin Yufei angrily, "The little witch prank is not like you, do you know that you almost scared me to death just now!" ”
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to scare you this time, I was looking at and studying the nine-star hanging coffin just now, and I forgot to tell you to pay attention to the statue behind the sarcophagus." Qin Yufei saw that Dongfang Xiaobai was scared a lot, blinked a pair of big eyes, and said with guilt.
This hidden cave and the nine-star hanging coffin inside were discovered by Qin Yufei in an accident three months ago, and when she came in, she was startled by the strangely shaped statue hidden behind the sarcophagus. She originally wanted to remind Dongfang Xiaobai, but she ignored this for a while because she was thinking about other things.
Dongfang Xiaobai was too frightened and said angry for a while, and at this time, seeing that Qin Yufei's expression did not seem to be deliberately teasing him, his tone softened, "My Miss Qin, I have to remember a little longer in the future, and next time there is such a situation, I must be reminded in advance." ”
The little witch knew that she was at a loss, so she changed her usual playful and naughty style, and nodded to Dongfang Xiaobai again and again, promising to pay attention next time.
After this episode, the two continued to march towards the hanging coffin, a distance of dozens of meters, and they came close in the blink of an eye.
When he was far away, Dongfang Xiaobai just felt that the nine hanging coffins were surprisingly large, but the distance between them at the moment was that he found many details.
Let's start with the eight hanging coffins on the periphery, which are about four meters long, one and a half meters wide, and more than two meters high; The one in the middle was at least twice as large as them.
Such a huge volume is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary coffins, and ordinary coffins are narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, but these nine hanging coffins are all up and down, standard rectangular. In fact, I didn't see the common graphic carvings on ordinary coffins.
Dongfang Xiaobai secretly thought: The nine-star hanging coffin may not be a real coffin.
Besides, the arrangement of the nine-star hanging coffin looks like a circle when it is far away, but it is actually an elliptical when it gets closer, and the distance between each hanging coffin is completely different, the closest is less than half a meter, and the farthest is three or four meters.
Dongfang Xiaobai looked at these situations, and found no other abnormalities, that is, he walked to the back of the sarcophagus, he wanted to take a closer look at what was sacred to scare him out of a cold sweat?
After a previous fright, Dongfang Xiaobai was very vigilant, he held the alloy soft sword in his hand, and carefully bypassed a sarcophagus at the far edge of the left, and the statue was completely exposed to his field of vision.
The statue was about the size of a normal human, and stood straight behind the sarcophagus at the edge. I don't know what the designer's psychology is, this statue is blue-gray all over, only the face is as pale as snow, and the facial features are even more hideous and terrifying.
It's just that when he got closer, Dongfang Xiaobai found that the prototype of this statue did not seem to be human, because he did not see ears on the statue's face, and its large mouth had no teeth, only a tongue full of fleshy thorns.
The statue had no clothes, but instead a layer of rough lines like scales, its limbs were thin and slender, a little disproportionate to its body, its arms stretched forward, its five fingers spread out to make a forward grabbing motion, and its terrible face was stacked in pairs, making it even more ghostly and strange.
Fortunately, Dongfang Xiaobai has been mentally prepared and will not be frightened by it again. He looked at the front for a while, and then turned to the back of the statue, and saw two strangely shaped fleshy vertebrae on each of its shoulder blades, which looked like wings that had not yet grown.
Who made such a strange thing here, is it just to scare people?
Dongfang Xiaobai stretched out his hand and touched the statue, the cold and cold hand felt rough and hard, it should be carved in stone.
Dongfang Xiaobai looked for the little witch after reading the stone carving, but found that she was already standing in front of the largest sarcophagus in the middle, this girl raised her head, staring at the sarcophagus in front of her with a pair of beautiful eyes, and didn't know what to look at again.
Dongfang Xiaobai walked over, and he asked Qin Yufei, "What are you looking at?" So fascinating. ”
As he spoke, his eyes also followed Qin Yufei's gaze, the surface of the sarcophagus was densely covered with uneven spots, and at first glance he didn't know what Qin Yufei was looking at, but after paying a little attention, Dongfang Xiaobai found that Qin Yufei's gaze was pointing to a depression in the middle of the sarcophagus.
Although there were countless pits on the sarcophagus, those were all small dots like soybean grains, and the depression that Qin Yufei was staring at was the size of an adult's finger. This depression is several times larger than the rest of the place, and its location is in the middle of the sarcophagus, so it is particularly conspicuous.
But these are not the most critical, the key thing is that Dongfang Xiaobai has an inexplicable familiarity at the first sight of it.
Finger-belly-like size, finger-belly-like shape...... Isn't this the same yuan stone that he never leaves his body?
"Okay, today's task is very heavy, I don't have time to talk to you here, Yuanshi brought it, right?"
Before leaving, Qin Yufei's words echoed in his ears, and Dongfang Xiaobai immediately thought of many things, and he felt that the elf-like cute girl in front of him had a lot of things to hide from him.
