Chapter 15: The Corpse King
"Soul Slayer?" I played with the tube in my hand, thinking that if I could get a few of these weapons and use them for my house ghost, it would definitely greatly enhance the house ghost's combat ability.
"Uncle Zheng, you're optimistic!" After I finished speaking, I carefully put one end of the tube into the water and immediately pulled it out. Everyone looked at the pipe, and couldn't help but gasp, the part that entered the water had been completely melted, not to mention the shortening, and even the blessed runes on the pipe had been wiped out.
"Hiss..., this Raushzi Netherworld Yellow Spring Water is so powerful! The special alloy can melt, if a person falls into it......" Xiao Jing's face was pale, and his teeth chattered when he spoke.
"Netherworld Yellow Spring Water is highly corrosive. This corrosiveness is called death qi, but it is the death qi from the ghosts of the Nine Hells, and things that do not belong to the underworld will be corroded once they touch this dead qi, and the end is a hundred times more powerful than concentrated sulfuric acid. ”
It was also the first time I had witnessed the power of the Netherworld Yellow Spring Water, and if I could escape into the Netherworld, get the Yin Soil of the Netherworld to refine a special container, and collect some Netherworld Yellow Spring Water, it would also be of great benefit to my future cultivation.
"Uncle Zheng, I guess we're close to the core of the ancient tomb! There must be a mechanism button nearby, and as long as we open the mechanism, we can get out of the predicament in front of us. ”
Because I was sure that the things recorded in my grandmother's notes would never be faked, I said these words, and I don't know how my grandmother got out of this ancient princely tomb in the first place.
"Cheer up, search carefully, if there is anything wrong, report it to me immediately." Zheng Guodong instructed the remaining eight Xuanmen policemen.
"Captain, there's one pattern here that doesn't quite match the others, so come and take a look." It didn't take much effort to say, and a young policeman said.
Zheng Guodong and I rushed over when they heard the sound, and sure enough, they found that the murals here were different, and then Zheng Guodong made a gesture, and when he saw that everyone else was taking a few steps back, he pushed towards the wall.
Immediately, a sound similar to the rotation of gears sounded, and the ground not far from our left slowly sank, and a hidden stone staircase was revealed as the wall was moved!
Looking at the stone ladder that appeared in front of me because of the news of the mechanism, I was surprised and delighted, and I couldn't help but sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was superb, and even such a complex mechanism could be designed so ingeniously.
Hidden under the square floor tiles, this stone staircase is so hidden that if we don't move the mural and cause the mechanism to be touched, we may not find out about the existence of this secret passage in our lifetime.
Walking to the dark passage, I looked into it with a flashlight, and saw that the three-meter-wide stone staircase dark passage went straight down, and the strong flashlight that shone very far away could not detect the end of the dark passage, and where this dark passage leads, we have no way of knowing.
Just as I was observing the dark passage, the originally calm corridor suddenly made a loud noise, and a heavy stone door fell with a bang, blocking the retreat behind it.
"Hey..., it seems that we only have one way forward, the mausoleum of the ancients is really dangerous, so we can only go forward and break through!" Seeing this, Zheng Guodong gasped, and then made a decision.
After a moment of walking, with the help of the bright light from the flashlight, I was surprised to find that in front of the dark passage, there was a giant with a strange expression, carrying a huge iron hammer. And that giant is two and a half meters tall, with a pair of fierce eyes that emit red light, and is staring at us at the moment!
I was startled by the sudden appearance of the giant, and the speed of my heart beat a lot faster, but when I came to my senses, I realized that the person who was looking at me was nothing more than a carved stone statue, but its exquisite carving made people look at it so hard that it was almost impossible to distinguish the difference between it and a real person!
The statue was life-size and was dressed in black armor, carrying a bloody human head in its left hand and a hammer on its shoulder in its right hand. The face of the stone statue was dark, and the fierce grin was fierce. The face is full of beard, the roots are like steel needles and hedgehogs, and the eyes inlaid with rubies are irradiated by the flashlight, and they emit a trace of scarlet light, which makes people think that they are looking at it, combined with the strange expression and the human head in the hand, this stone statue gives people an extremely strange feeling.
After seeing the carved stone statue in front of him, Zheng Guodong also wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: "I thought it was the corpse king, but I didn't expect it to be a special tomb sculpture, but this carving is really amazing!" ”
"He Fangxiao, who actually broke into Gongzi's palace and disturbed Gongzi's sleep, will not escape his guilt!"
Just as we relaxed, the strange statue actually spoke, and its sound rumbled in the dark tunnel.
I hurriedly looked at the statue, but I couldn't help but gasp, my legs and stomach were trembling, and my face was white with fright.
I saw that the fierce tower statue in front of me actually took a step forward, and was walking towards us without hurry, and also let me see clearly the darkness behind him, and rows of stone coffins, these coffins were hundreds of pairs, and each sarcophagus made a creaking and rubbing sound.
In the moment when the tower giant roared, the ever-bright lights on the walls of the entire dark passage were lit one after another, and a main burial chamber of the same size as a small parking lot appeared in front of us. The magnificent, carved coffins are placed on top of the pyramid stairs, and rows of ancient costume palace female corpses stand on the left and right of the coffin!
"Corpse... Corpse King! Or the general at the peak of the Corpse King! ”
Zheng Guodong's face next to him was quite ugly, the ancient generals were already equipped with stunts, and it was even more powerful to become a corpse king after death, far from what he could resist in the middle of the soul realm, not to mention that there were hundreds of corpses in the coffin behind him who were about to wake up.
"Run! What are you still doing in a daze! I'll come to the pad back! Zheng Guodong roared angrily and took out a pile of talisman paper from his coat pocket, and was about to attack the corpse king who was stepping in front of him.
"The rats are so daring, do you still want to do it? The sons listened to the order and killed them all. Dare to come to the Wei Palace! The tower giant roared angrily, and corpses crawled out of the sarcophagus behind him, wearing tattered bronze armor, carrying rusty bronze ancient swords, and their eyes were glowing with scarlet and bloodthirsty red, all of them rushing towards our group.
A corpse king, hundreds of bloody corpses! No matter how you fight this, it's a food delivery. My trembling hands grabbed Jing Jing, who had fallen to the ground, and ran backwards as fast as I could.
Zheng Guodong's roar came from behind him, and I looked back in a panic, only to see Zheng Guodong holding a scarlet rune paper between his fingers, and chanting a spell as quickly as possible.
"Step on the seven stars, sweep thousands of armies, borrow the law from the stars, and the stars!"
After Zheng Guodong's incantation was recited, a mouthful of essence blood sprayed on the red talisman between his fingers, a brilliant light lit up, and the rune paper burned and transformed into a majestic general, holding a spear condensed by starlight in his hand, and suddenly rushed towards the corpse king.
I didn't want to stay and watch the battle, so I ran to the closed stone door and groped around the wall as fast as I could.
"What about the organs? Quick, quietly go find the mechanism that opens the door! I shouted anxiously to the stunned silence.
"Captain!" Xiaojing's mournful roar faintly came from behind me, accompanied by bursts of screams and fights, which made me even more anxious.
"Boom..."
I don't know if I quietly found the mechanism button, and the blocked stone door made a dull sound and rose up abruptly.
"Uncle Zheng, retreat quickly! The stone door is open! I yelled inside, and whether they heard it or not, I pulled myself up and ran quietly the way I came.
Panting, I and Jing Jing ran back to the place where the stone monument was erected, and when I turned around, I didn't find Zheng Guodong and his party, my heart couldn't help but sink, it seems that they are already more than lucky.
As soon as Jing Jing and I ran out of the original half-open stone door, there was a roar of bloody corpses behind me, and I guessed that those bloody corpse soldiers must have chased after them, and hurriedly ordered the house ghost to close the half-open stone door.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Before I could take a few steps, the bloody corpse soldiers behind the door actually slammed into the stone door! The stone gate actually opened a big gap under the full impact of the blood corpse!
Seeing that the stone gate was about to be knocked open by the blood corpse, I secretly screamed that it was not good, and then I wanted to turn around and resist the stone gate again, so as to block the pursuit of the blood corpse.
But at the same time as I ran towards the stone gate, with the continuous and vigorous impact of the blood corpse, the stone gate was completely opened!
