Chapter 378: The Man Without Eyes
I can't tell what age it is, and the hall is full of weirdness.
The sarcophagus cracked a crack, and there were still clear traces of what Wu Laogou had pried decades ago.
But at this time, my hands were empty, and I could never easily open this sarcophagus with my own strength and without any tools.
The more chaotic the thoughts echoed in my mind, the more I felt that there must be some unimaginable secret hidden in the coffin.
Maybe you can also solve the mystery of the age of the tomb and the owner of the tomb.
Human curiosity is endless, and I looked at the sarcophagus in front of me more and more intrigued, but no matter how much I pushed it with my hands, the heavy sarcophagus was still not shaken in the slightest.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I accidentally found something black under the sarcophagus, which was quietly falling to the ground.
I couldn't help but bend down to pick it up, and I was surprised to find that it was actually a stone chisel half covered with rust, and after picking it up, the position where the stone chisel was originally placed had been pressed out of a shallow pit.
As if confirming that this thing had been left here for decades, I felt heavy in my hand just enough to pry open the sarcophagus.
My heart trembled suddenly, and I had an indescribable feeling, as if someone had prepared it for me decades ago.
I immediately remembered Wu Laogou, who was the only person I knew of who had ever been inside this strange bronze gate except for myself and Suchak.
Could it be that he had expected that in a few decades, someone would come inside the iron gate, so he prepared this tool for prying open the sarcophagus.
The impression of his godfather in his mind was not too deep, and more memories of his death came from the autobiographical diary in the relic.
His personality is sinister and spicy, and he seems to be a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve a certain goal, although everyone in the inverted bucket industry knows it back then.
But he must be just an ordinary person, not so powerful that he can pinch his fingers to calculate, and his godson will come here in a few decades.
The gusts of wind disrupted the thoughts in my mind, and I woke up from my thoughts, took the heavy rusty iron chisel in my hand, and simply and decisively pried into the sarcophagus.
Since his godfather and his old man had been here decades ago, it means that even if there is any danger in the coffin, I am afraid that he has already settled it.
As long as I am assured that the coffin will be opened boldly, there will be no danger.
With the help of inference, I gradually suppressed the inexplicable fear in my heart, and used a stone chisel to pry open the heavy lid of the coffin.
I thought that after opening the sarcophagus, there would be a layer of coffin wrapped in burial goods, because only in this way would it conform to the laws of the interior of the ancient tombs of all dynasties.
Unexpectedly, when I laboriously pushed the lid open, the scene in front of me instantly came into view, which deeply stimulated my mind.
The coffin was actually empty, only a small powdery unknown object like ashes, which drifted away with the wind the moment the coffin was opened.
The bottom of the coffin is printed with an extremely strange pattern, and the simple lines outline the shape of a human head and a snake body.
It reminded me of the mysterious humanoid stone statue I found after entering the bronze gate.
At that time, I couldn't help but guess that the stone statue should represent the human Nuwa, because such an implication is not uncommon in other ancient tombs.
It was only at this point that after I encountered these eyeless snakes in the tomb, I couldn't help but think of the eyeless stone statue of Nuwa in my mind.
My heart, which had been uneasy, was filled with even more doubts, why there were no clues about the owner of the tomb even in the sarcophagus.
When the coffin was opened, only the gray powder drifted away, which was blown away by the wind.
I couldn't help but reach into the sarcophagus, wanting to collect some so that I could have a chance to study them when I escaped from here, but I didn't expect to touch the strange pattern at the bottom of the coffin when my fingers touched it.
The finger actually stung, and a drop of blood dripped onto the pattern, revealing the strange pattern in front of him red.
I couldn't help but look down with some doubts, only to find that the bottom of the sarcophagus was covered with tiny barbs, and these thorns seemed to be the embryos of some kind of plant, which only grew inside the sarcophagus the day after tomorrow.
Looking at the blood-stained pattern, my heart suddenly shuddered, and I always felt that something was not quite right.
The strange rustling sound behind him filled my ears, and when I turned around, I suddenly found that the group of snakes who had hesitated before suddenly flew over and climbed onto the stone platform like crazy.
With their fangs wide open, they rolled in the sea of snakes, some of them even biting with other companions, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
What puzzled me was how the previous group of eyeless snakes could suddenly pounce on the sarcophagus, could it be that they had inadvertently touched some mechanism.
Only then did these poisonous snakes finally become unscrupulous, and they flew over one after another.
His thoughts were rolling wildly, and the next second he inadvertently looked at the pattern at the bottom of the sarcophagus, and suddenly found that the drop of blood that had dripped from his fingertips before was all gathered together.
The strange pattern of the whole human head and snake body revealed a more vivid red color, and it seemed to flutter under my gaze.
A strange rustling sound filled the air, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the snakes had pounced on him.
Seeing that there was no way out, his legs subconsciously stepped into the sarcophagus, until he lay inside and struggled to close the half-open coffin lid.
An extremely terrifying thought popped into my head.
"It's... Could this be some kind of mysterious sacrifice, the serpents are now surrounding me because they want to force me into the coffin. ”
"And I was careless just now, and I just started this round of reincarnation that has been sealed for decades."
I was suddenly startled by my own thoughts, and cold sweat instantly ran down my forehead.
When the lid of the coffin was closed, I couldn't see anything clearly, and I felt more and more frightened inside, and it was as if someone was whispering something in my ears.
Until I finally couldn't bear the heart on the verge of collapse, I desperately wanted to push the coffin open, but it seemed that something outside the coffin was desperately pressing the sarcophagus to prevent me from opening it.
It's just that the more this happens, the more panic I feel in my heart, and a person at the extreme of emotional fear can turn into anger.
For a moment, I didn't know where I got the strength, but I forced open the sarcophagus with one hand and the elbow of the broken arm, and once again saw the light of day, and even the turbid air that poured in seemed to exude a sweet breath.
I poked out of the coffin at once, but I didn't expect to see a scene in my eyes that I will never forget.
I didn't know how to describe all this in front of me, and when I struggled to poke out of the coffin, the scene outside the hall pierced deep into my mind and heart, leaving a shadow for a lifetime.
I saw many people without eyes, standing in a dense position beside the main hall, dressed in ancient costumes of an unknown dynasty, and their undulating chests seemed to be full of life fluctuations.
Half of his face has a mouth and a nose, but only a pair of eyes are missing, all of them are standing in place in a daze, and at the feet of ** are those dense snakes.
I was startled by this scene, and I was about to let out a roar, but suddenly I felt a hand behind me covering my mouth.
