Chapter 377: Strange Tomb Layout
The empty hall is dimly lit, and the two stone pillars are decorated with quaint patterns.
The sarcophagus that stood at the end of the hall disrupted all my previous assumptions about this place.
"Could it be that this is really a tomb."
Thinking back to the scenes he and Suchak experienced, the group of little devils tried their best to dig here, but for some reason they terminated the plan.
I was in a pitch-black space before, and the strange things that happened to Fang Dinghe, who responded to his needs, still clearly echoed in my mind, and I couldn't help but be a little timid.
The people and things that come to mind will become reality in the bronze door, and it is simply the same.
Looking at this sarcophagus now, an indescribable fear gradually rose in my heart, and I wanted to escape from behind me, but there was no way out.
I was bold enough to walk towards the sarcophagus, and I could even hear my own pounding heartbeat, but I didn't expect it to be at this moment.
Something suddenly fell overhead, and I looked closely at it in the dim light, and for a moment I almost didn't send chills down my spine.
This is actually a flower snake that is more than a meter long, and it is covered with colorful scales, and in the dim light, it reflects a ghostly green light.
It's like I'm really afraid of something, I've been in danger for so many years, and I haven't thought about retreating half a point when I encounter any extremely dangerous situations.
But the only thing that is afraid of the long insect python of the flower python is like something engraved in the bones, which cannot be changed at all.
Looking at this little green snake, the bright color on its body suddenly reminded me of the more gorgeous the snake, it must be highly poisonous.
Fortunately, I was cautious when I walked just now, otherwise I might really fall directly on my body and scare me half to death.
After carefully avoiding this poisonous snake, I still felt a little afraid, but I didn't expect to subconsciously look back at the road I came from, and I didn't know when I was silently crawling with colorful poisonous snakes behind me.
The dense swarm of snakes left traces of movement on the ground, all brightly colored entangled, and swept towards my position little by little.
This scene really didn't scare me half to death, how could there be so many poisonous snakes in this nearly kilometer underground tunnel.
For a while, the thoughts in his mind became more and more chaotic, the blood in his body accelerated, and even his breathing accelerated and alternated under fear.
I couldn't help but retreat from the position of the sarcophagus behind me, but the snakes in front of me seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction, gathering more and more, densely crowding one after another.
Cold sweat flowed down my forehead, startling me to retreat, and in the dim light, as the snakes gathered more and more, it seemed that even my own legs were a little disobedient.
I barely tripped myself in place, when suddenly a flower mangled burst out of the snake group and pounced on my position.
It bared its sharp fangs, as if it would be killed instantly if it was bitten.
I was so shocked that I subconsciously turned around to avoid it, but I didn't expect my eyes to inadvertently glance at this poisonous snake, and there was a buzzing sound in my mind.
The snake had no eyes, and like the stone statue seen before, its body was bent and covered with the hard scale armor of snakes, except for the bare head, which had nothing.
"It's... How is this possible. ”
I had the courage to press the flower snake with a stone, and the next second, under careful observation, I found that this snake really had no eyes, but it had the ability to judge its prey with quick insight.
This strange discovery made me can't help but sweat all over my body, could it be said that this is a new species that has never been seen before, only existing in the dim and lightless thousands of kilometers of underground depths in the mountains of Xiangxi.
If this assumption in my mind is true, it is a discovery that will shock the biological world.
Forced by the approaching snakes, I kept backing away, and my heart shuddered as I remembered the strange serpentine statue with arms I had seen earlier.
The statue depicts the eyeless snake in front of him, which shows that the group of people who cast this unknown tomb in the first place have already discovered this strange species.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they carved such a serpentine stone statue, leaving an endless sense of mystery for future generations who came here.
Before I knew it, I had no way back, and my heel accidentally stepped on the steps leading to the sarcophagus behind me, and I lost my balance in an instant, and almost fell down.
Dense poisonous snakes pounced one after another, and this scene was extremely terrifying.
I endured the stinging sensation caused by the cold sweat penetrating the wounds all over my body, stabilized my body a little bit, and then climbed up desperately.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I was shocked to find that these poisonous snakes that were gathering more and more only stopped outside the stone steps, and did not pounce.
There were a few slightly larger ones, covered in shiny scales, and after climbing the steps, they retreated abruptly, as if they were afraid of something in front of them.
Seeing that the snakes were finally no longer approaching, my heart that had been hanging on my heart finally slowly let go, and the next second when I looked back at the sarcophagus, it seemed that something was choking in my throat.
Suddenly, my heart was beating faster, and the sound of heavy breathing filled my ears, making me feel as if even my soul was trembling.
"No... No, why did this group of poisonous snakes hesitate, is it because of the sarcophagus in front of them? ”
Thinking of this, the heart that had just calmed down suddenly hung again, could it be that the coffin contained something more terrifying than a poisonous snake.
I turned my head to look at the sarcophagus, and even faced the boiling snakes behind me, and the greatest danger seemed to have shifted from the snakes to the black coffin in front of me.
The quaint patterns on the main hall can't tell what age it is at all, and even the sarcophagus has no patterns, which is extremely terrifying.
I've never seen a coffin like this, and a strange layout of an ancient tomb.
The cold wind blew through the gaps in the huge mountain rocks behind him towards the front door, and there was an indescribable strange aura in this dimly lit hall.
At this time, the thoughts in my mind were in a mess, and I remembered that on the upper floor, Wu Laogou had left an imprint on the stone statue with a human head and a snake body, indicating that he must have been here decades ago.
Maybe the sarcophagus in front of me had been pried open by him, and when I thought of it, I couldn't help but lower my head and lean over to check the hidden traces of this coffin.
I didn't expect it to matter if I looked closely, I suddenly found that the whole sarcophagus didn't show any gaps, as if it was a rectangular stone platform.
It was precisely because the shape resembled a coffin that I mistook it for a coffin at first sight.
After a closer investigation, I finally couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and the cold touch sensation when my fingers touched the stone wall instantly reached my mind, and a strange sound suddenly came out of the stone.
I was so startled that I couldn't help but take two steps back, and in the dim light I seemed to have stepped on something.
I only heard the sound of a mechanism activating from under my feet, and the boulder in front of me, which looked like a coffin, finally revealed a gap.
There are even obvious traces of the effect of artificial prying at the edges, which reminds me of Wu Laogou, who came here decades ago.
