Chapter 150: Mercenary
The stone door slowly receded inward, revealing a downward five-step staircase. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info walked down the stairs, there was a passage paved with the same brick and stone as outside, the passage was 4 meters wide and 8 meters high, and at the end it was all pitch black, and it was impossible to see the whole picture...
The sound of everyone walking in the passage, and the sound of boots stepping on the ground, although slight, can still clearly echo in the quiet passage, which is quite weird and abnormal!
"Illuminate with a tactical flashlight!" Geng Chao shouted lightly and immediately took out the tactical flashlight placed on his left leg (this tactical flashlight belongs to the default equipment of the system, and can be used at will if necessary, without special restrictions).
"I feel that this is eeriely tight, and it's an ancient mausoleum, I'm afraid..."
Before Ling Ling could finish speaking, Geng Chao's flashlight shone on a rather mysterious place, "What is this?" ā
Everyone should go to the prestige, only to see that where the pillar of light shines, there are six quite complete human skeletons!!
The skeletons leaned against each other, leaning together, and on the right hand side of each skeleton was a rusty ancient iron sword, which was quite exquisitely styled.
After approaching, Ling Ling squatted down and picked up one of the ancient iron swords that was quite passable, "The style and pattern are very exquisite, it seems that these six people were all rich or noble people in ancient times." ā
Turn the ancient iron sword over, the back has been corroded by rust for a long time, I am afraid that with a slight force, this ancient iron sword will shatter into countless iron filings!
"There is no seventh weapon here, so the question is, how did they die?" Geng Chao frowned and said.
"If you want to know the answer, you should know it if you go forward." Xu Ming suggested softly.
Geng Chao tapped his chin lightly, "It's also..."
The crowd walked forward again more than ten meters away, there was a downward step on the left hand side, and after going down, there was a deep passage, at the end of the passage was a stone gate, and a torch was hung on each side of the stone gate.
"Could it be that these two torches are the mechanism for opening the door?" Geng Chao said suspiciously.
The crowd was silent and looked at each other.
Ling Ling walked up to the torch, took out the lighter that the system had given him when he used the 'Molotov cocktail', and tentatively reached for his hand to see if he could light the torch that had been sleeping for thousands of years.
No one expected that the torch was just close to the torch, and when the two were at least 10 centimeters apart, the torch would spontaneously combust instantly!!
The sudden burning torch really startled Ling Ling, and he quickly retracted his hand like a reflex.
At this time, something even stranger happened...
The torches on the other side of the stone gate also swelled up with a 'poof' sound without warning, and instantly burst into flames.
What makes people feel chills down the spine is that the frequency of the flames of these two torches is exactly the same, amazingly synchronized!!
The two flames collided in the middle of the stone gate, and an arc-shaped black line was printed on the stone gate.
In the middle and lower part of the stone gate, there is a carved stone crack. This crack in the stone, for some reason, formed an almost equilateral triangle pattern with the black line printed by the torch.
"Could this be the mechanism that opens the door?"
Thinking of this, Ling Ling walked lightly into the stone gate, and the light pillar of the flashlight was aimed at the very center of this triangle, and suddenly a point of light flashed, like a star.
"Sure enough, there's something!!"
Seeing this, Ling Ling was overjoyed and quickly reached out to touch it.
"Huh, can't you take it?"
He brushed away the dust on the surface of this 'star', and the true face of the 'star' was also exposed, it was a brilliant and clear conical hexagonal gem!!
As soon as the gem was revealed, it dispersed the beam of the flashlight into six parts, and returned to the predetermined trajectory.
The next moment, on both sides of the top of the passage, the beams of light scattered by the gems were fed back to a point on the ground. Geng Chao followed the light, moved the flashlight, and found a square stone brick, this stone brick was only the size of an adult man's palm, and it looked a bit like a mechanism to open the door.
"I'll try!" Geng Chao said softly.
Then, he cautiously approached, crouched down, and slowly stretched out his left hand and stuck it on the stone brick.
At this time, he clenched his teeth, and his heart was horizontal, and his left arm suddenly exerted force, and the entire stone brick was slammed into the ground.
"Sink in!!" Geng Chao was overjoyed and shouted softly.
As the stone bricks sank into the ground, the stone door blocking the way made a dull grinding sound and slowly retracted into the wall on the left.
After the stone gate was completely retracted into the wall, everyone shone the beam of the flashlight into the back.
"Is it a burial chamber?" Ling Ling was puzzled.
The crowd tiptoed past the marks left by the stone door, carefully examining the space that looked like a tomb.
This space is quite large, about 30 meters long, about 15 meters wide, and more than 2 meters high. Five meters in front of the crowd, there were two rows of mercenaries of 10 in each row. These mercenaries are well preserved and carved to life. The mercenaries in the front row hold a sword in their right hand and a shield in their left hand, and the shield is half a person high, forming a defensive posture of kneeling on one knee.
The mercenaries in the back row held Ge in both hands, standing close to the mercenaries in the front row, and the direction pointed by the mercenaries in the front row was the direction where the stone gate was located!
These two rows of mercenaries were followed by a strange pentagonal formation of 50 mercenaries. In the middle of the formation, in the shape of a five-pointed star, six coffins were placed, and the extra one was in the center of the five outer coffins.
Of these six coffins, the five coffins on the periphery have an ordinary appearance, but the patterns on the coffins are more delicate than today's coffins. But the coffin located in the middle is gilded throughout, the carved patterns are exquisite and detailed, and the coloring materials are quite exquisite.
After everyone took a few steps forward, the stone gate behind them bounced out of the wall without warning, slammed into the wall on the other side, and slammed into the dust on the stone door with a violent impact!
Before they could recover from the closed stone door, they felt a chill down their backs and hairs standing on their backs!
Ling Ling turned his head abruptly, and was suddenly speechless in surprise, his lips trembled, and he could only swallow his saliva with difficulty.
Seeing Ling Ling like this, everyone also turned their heads in confusion, and when they saw everything that was happening behind them, they finally understood why Ling Ling had such a frightened look!
At this moment, a dull and powerful roar resounded throughout the tomb, constantly echoing in the ears of the people, shaking them dizzy and their eardrums numb.
"Those who trespass on the imperial tomb will die !!!!!"
