Volume 1 The Four Elephants Demon Palace Chapter 55 Evil Ghosts

"Another stone door!" I was a little confused, and under the gaze of everyone, I decided to use the excuse I just made to explain.

But obviously this time the persuasiveness is not as good as just now, Victoria and the others did not believe my words.

"Do you believe it or not, the result is the same, we have another way, can we go?" I said with a wry smile.

Maybe it was deliberate, or maybe it was subconscious, the people of Victoria's team, all pointed to the holes that branched out.

I was a little speechless, thought for a moment and said to the people, "Otherwise, let's go and explore these holes in a group." ”

Originally, I thought that Victoria would agree, but Victoria refused, she thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's necessary, since there is another stone gate here, we might as well open it and see, if there is a way out, then it is the best." If there is no way out, the result is all the same! ”

The last sentence was very heavy, shattering the already small hope.

Victoria said this, but instead of doing it, she looked at me. If Victoria had made a decision before, she would have done it immediately regardless of my opinion, but now that she has finished speaking, she will ask for my opinion, and it can be seen that my status in the team has improved, and I am quite happy.

Naturally, I agreed to open the stone door, as there was no other option. But this time we were a little more careful, because after all, the appearance of two stone doors means that it is unusual.

With the first experience, this time we had enough manpower, and when we were about to push the door open a crack, we didn't expect the entire stone door to fall to the ground, falling apart, smoke and dust, and the ground trembled.

All of us were choking on smoke and dust and practicing coughing, and we couldn't see what was lying on the ground outside the door.

Everyone coughed and fanned the smoke with their hands, trying to see what was out there as soon as possible.

When I got closer, I could eat the most dust, so naturally I couldn't see what was on the ground in front of me. But soon I heard Alice exclaim, "Someone! ”

I heard that some people retreated several steps back almost instantly, and everyone else was about the same, and everyone retreated outside the stone gate, each taking out his dagger and guarding it.

Although the smoke and dust have not completely cleared, I can also tell that there are people, and they are not one. There were a lot of them, the outline was obvious, and these people seemed to be standing there, not knowing what they were doing.

When the smoke and dust completely cleared, I took out a flashlight and took a picture of it, confirming that the person I saw was not fake. Rows and rows of people, many, stood throughout the passage, with little end in sight. But these people, all with their backs to us, can't see their faces clearly.

Far away, we didn't dare to get closer, so I craned my neck and swayed from side to side to look ahead. Wrinkled and didn't say: "The clothes these people wear are all ancient, not now." Could it be something like terracotta? ”

"I don't know, let's go over and have a look!" Victoria suggested.

"Let's take a look?" I asked Victoria uncertainly, in fact, I was a little hairy, because I was not sure whether these ancients, who had their backs to us, were alive or dead.

It doesn't matter if you're dead, but if you're alive, wouldn't it be too scary.

Victoria seemed to see what I was thinking, and said bluntly: "It must be dead, alive or dummy, otherwise so many people standing here would not have made a sound at all!" ”

I thought about it, but I didn't dare to step forward alone, so I wanted to pull Alice with me, but Alice didn't let me pull her, but she also stepped forward, and it seemed that she was also curious.

Not only Alice, except for Li Xiang, who needed to take care of Shui Rising, and couldn't leave, the rest of us all pulled out daggers and cautiously leaned towards the crowd.

When I got closer, I gently stabbed the person closest to me with the dagger, but as soon as the dagger touched his clothes, his clothes were directly pierced by me, and they were very brittle.

"The plant fibers of this dress have long been corrupted, and there is no willfulness at all, like a crispy chocolate coat, poking a hole." I said to Alice with a wink.

Alice gave me a big roll of the eye, ignoring me, but Luna, covering her mouth and looking nauseous: "Can you please stop saying it so disgusting!" ”

"My favorite thing to eat is chocolate crispy coating!" Luna was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she added an explanation.

The stabbing is all done, I just use some force, and stab it a little more, to see if it is dead or alive.

As a result, when I exerted my strength, I found that the other party was quite heavy, but I still poked it in, pulled it out again, and found that there was no response. I was completely relieved, so I leaned over to see the other person's face.

A dry and gray face, not a skeleton, is similar to the dried corpses seen in many archaeological programs. The skin on the face, wrinkled up because of the loss of moisture, one by one, is extremely dense.

Seeing that it was a dead body, I was even more relieved, and said as if it was not a big deal: "Alas! Scared me, it's okay, it's all dried corpses! But what are these dried corpses doing here? Why do you keep so many dead bodies? Is it for the sake of burial? This burial chamber is enough to make so many people's corpses not decompose, and they all become dry corpses. ”

I said casually, looking around, to see if I could pass through the dried corpses, and see if there was a way out on the other side.

However, at this moment, Victoria's words completely woke me up.

"Is this what you call a craftsman?" Victoria also asked subconsciously.

I've seen so many dried corpses before, and I naturally think that this is for burial. I didn't think about the side that might be a craftsman.

If this is a craftsman, and this passage is also an escape channel left by the craftsman for himself, then in other words, the escape passage cannot escape, so the craftsmen all died here.

This possibility was hopeless, but I quickly denied it, because if the craftsman could not escape, he would be very frightened and depressed, and it was difficult to say what he would do.

For example, if you are trapped underneath and are hungry and have nothing to eat, then you are likely to end up eating people. The ancients ate people, not once or twice.

And if you eat people, it has reached the most terrifying time of human nature, and this place has long been a mess. Who has the heart to line up here? Is it a queue for someone else to eat?

It's impossible for a fool to do this, the main thing is that if you really eat people, there should be white bones, there are no white bones here, all dried corpses with skin and bones.

I denied the possibility that they were craftsmen, but I couldn't explain who these people were. Although I am inclined to the people who were buried, judging by their appearance, it is unlikely.

I looked at the corpses of the ancients in a row. Looking at it, I think it's a little weird. Because I noticed that the dried corpse I was looking at suddenly wanted to twist its head.

I rubbed my eyes, not sure, wanting to see more clearly, not to be dazzled. I stared at the corpse for a long time, and the corpse's head didn't move again.

I put my mind at ease and thought I was dazzled and a little nervous. However, at this moment, I heard several people screaming almost at the same time, and Victoria and the others shouted almost at the same time, "These dried corpses will move!" ”

"Move!" When these two words rang in my ears, I subconsciously took a step back, and then looked at myself at the dry corpse, only to see the corners of the dry corpse's mouth, weirdly stretched upward, turning into a smiling face.

I was so frightened that I screamed, "Mom! So he ran out of the herd of dry corpses and avoided them far away.

Victoria and the others retreated, watching the corpses warily. In this way, we stared at the group of dried corpses, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, the group of dried corpses did not change at all.

We couldn't help but wonder if we were wrong, we made eye contact with each other, and in the end we all shook our heads, saying that it was impossible, after all, it is possible for one person to be wrong, and it is possible for two people to be wrong, or it is possible for three or four.

But six of us here are wrong, and that's impossible.

But if we are not mistaken, the group of corpses, why did they not move again. We can only console ourselves by saying that we are wrong. Because after all, a dry corpse that has been dead for thousands of years will suddenly move, and that is too scary.

After waiting for about ten minutes, half an hour had passed since we first exited. The group of corpses still didn't move, and this time I really started to doubt my life, and I doubted everyone.

I tried to ask, "Are we all wrong?" ”

No one answered, because no one could be sure, everyone was not sure. I gritted my teeth one last time and said, "Forget it, I'll go and see what these dried corpses are!" ”

Having said that, I didn't have any confidence at all, and the steps I took towards the corpses were also heavy and heavy, as if I had two mountains tied to my legs, and I couldn't move.

But I still forced myself to go, and this feeling was very uncomfortable. It's as if you want to take a knife and cut yourself, your body and brain, instinct will reject you and tell you not to do that.

With difficulty, I moved to the cadavers, quietly observing the last row of corpses closest to me, like stones, and there was no movement at all.

I looked left and right for a long time, and finally decided to make a bold attempt to touch the dried corpse. Because I was afraid, I subconsciously leaned back, stretched my neck back, and even closed one of my eyes.

I touched the dried corpse with my hand, and I didn't feel anything in particular, just felt hard, it seemed a little heavy, and then I didn't feel anything else.

I was afraid that I would not feel right, so I took off all my tactical gloves and touched them directly with the skin on my hands. It turned out to be the same, nothing special.

Isn't there a problem? Is it really a collective hallucination? I remember when I used to read tomb robbery novels, there would be some collective hallucinations in them, which were caused by the toxic gases in the tomb.

I think all of us may have encountered this kind of problem as well. But at this point, I decided to put my hand under the nose of the dried corpse to see if the dried corpse was still panting.

It seems to me that living things will always gasp.

There is a mouth under the nose, and I put my hand over it, in great danger, in case this dried corpse is alive, I put my hand on its mouth, and it opens its mouth and takes a mouthful, even if I am not asked for a piece of meat, I may be poisoned by a corpse or something.

The result made me happy, no gas, it was dead.

I turned my head and said to everyone, "It's okay, I guess we saw it wrong, or we had a collective hallucination due to the poisonous gas in the tomb!" ”

As soon as I said this, I heard a bone clatter and writhing sound coming from behind me.

Then I looked at Victoria, and their faces were green and full of horror. I subconsciously glanced back, and this glance almost didn't scare me to death.

As for the dried corpse I had just touched, I came close to him, and when I turned around, it was face to face.

"Roar!" It opened its mouth and roared, an inexplicable stench that nearly smoked me to death, and its mouth was full of black teeth. The mouth was so wide open, and for some reason, it didn't tear its shriveled skin.

Not only did it come to life, but I saw that their eyes were all glowing green, much like using light to shine on the eyes of cats and dogs at night.

"! What the hell! Come on! I yelled in horror and rushed outside, surprised myself at how fast I was!
