Chapter 242: A Similar Altar
The tomb is wide, like a dark and cold tunnel.
The surrounding black slate gives an invisible sense of oppression, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
We proceeded cautiously, for fear that there would be some kind of hidden arrow in the graveyard.
This is not a joke, in order to prevent tomb robbers from robbing tombs in the ancient tombs of princes and nobles, we have to be cautious.
There are lamps on both sides of the tomb, and in order to brighten up the surroundings, I light every lamp I see in my hand.
After walking for about twenty meters, there was no triggering of the tomb mechanism, and the entire tomb began to slope downward.
The slope of the tomb is a bit steep, probably because the air here is cold and damp, and the black stone slabs inlaid on the ground are very smooth, so we have to hold on to the walls on both sides when we go down the tomb.
Although I was careful, in the end the accident happened.
To be exact, I was the only one who had an accident, because I didn't have shoes on my feet, and when I was halfway down, I suddenly slipped and slipped, and then I quickly slid down the steep graveyard to the bottom of the graveyard.
By the time I stopped, I had already slid down more than ten meters, and the tomb at the bottom had become smooth again.
Because of the air flow when I slid down, the lamp in my hand had been extinguished, and by the faint light of the lamps in the hands of the two women behind me, I could faintly see that the exit was not far in front of the tomb.
Vaguely, it can be seen that there is a huge space outside the exit, and there seem to be figures standing outside.
When I saw those figures, I couldn't help but feel nervous, and I didn't know if it was an illusion, I felt that the oxygen in the tunnel seemed to be extremely thin, and I was faintly uncomfortable when breathing.
Getting up from the ground, I gestured to the two women behind me, signaling them both to be careful.
When the two women came down the slope, I lit the lamp in my hand by the lamp in their hand, pointed to the end of the passage, and whispered to the two women: "We have reached the end of the cemetery, outside...... It seems that there are people. ”
The two women were taken aback when they heard this, and cautiously looked out of the tomb exit.
"They seem to be motionless, they seem to be statues!" Liu Xiaojiao said.
"Not necessarily, be careful. Tianyan, take a closer look. Yan Xiaoying said.
I nodded, cautiously took two steps closer to the exit, and when I looked closely, I saw that there was indeed a person standing outside the exit.
They...... It turned out to be the black armor of the demon soldiers we had seen in the rift valley earlier, standing there motionless like statues.
Unlike the demon soldiers seen in the Rift, there was no light in their eyes, and they seemed to ...... It's all dead!
After waiting for a while, there was any movement from the demon soldiers outside, and I beckoned to the two women behind me, signaling that it was safe for the time being, and let them go out with me.
When we walked out of the tomb completely, we were amazed to see the wall.
Now it is a magnificent hall again, which is more spacious than the front hall just now, and there is a seven-story black stone platform in the center of the main hall, which is shaped like an altar.
Around its altar stood many demon soldiers in black armor, motionless, like stone sculptures!
The reason why we see the black altar in the center is because there is a fire burning on the altar, and its fire illuminates the darkness around it.
I slipped down the slope just now, the lamp in my hand was extinguished, and the reason why I could faintly see the outline of the demon soldier inside was not because of my own eyesight, but because of the light of the fire on the altar.
"Xiao Ying, look at that black altar, is it very similar to the jade altar we saw in the underground burial lake before?" I turned my head to Yan Xiaoying and said.
Yan Xiaoying squinted her glasses and looked at the black altar, and replied in a deep voice: "It is indeed very similar to that jade altar, if this place is the apse of the Demon General's Ancient Tomb, I think the Demon General's coffin should be placed on this black altar." It's just that it seems too quiet......"
She frowned and continued: "The fire on the altar should have been lit before, it can't have burned for thousands of years without extinguishing, it is very likely that the camel did it, that is to say, the camel has been here and climbed this black altar, and now I don't know where he is?" ”
"And the demon soldiers here, I don't know what's going on? It was as if all of a sudden loss of mobility. ”
Not far in front of us stood a demon soldier in brown armor, and I walked cautiously with an iron rod, but the other party did not move.
I reversed my angle and turned to the demon soldier, holding up the lamp, and taking a closer look at his face by the light of the fire.
At this glance, I couldn't help but be even more surprised, because I found that there was no one under the helmet at all, not even bones, it was empty, it was ...... It seems to be just a suit of armor.
But how is this possible?
How can you walk like a human with just a suit of armor? Besides, we saw them before, and there was a clear gaze under their helmets.
If it's just a quick plus, then what is the terrifying and weird gaze we see?
Is it the cause of the firebug spider?
Could it be that those demon soldiers took off their black armor and hid themselves?
But how could a soldier easily take off his armor?
I felt a little confused, if there was no one in the armor, how did the armor stand up like a stake?
Could it be that the armor is supported by a wooden frame, like a scarecrow guarding the edge of the field?
I thought about reaching out and gently touching the black armor in front of me, with the previous lesson, I didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for fear of being burned again.
However, when I touched the armor with my fingers, I didn't feel any temperature.
The armor standing in front of him was not as hot as a soldering iron, but cold.
In fact, as soon as I approached the armor, I could already perceive that it was not emitting any heat.
I tried to reach for my helmet and it was easily removed and held in my hand. It must have been too much, and when I took off my helmet, the armor standing in front of me fell to the ground with a thud, making a heavy thud.
My move undoubtedly frightened the two women who did not come closer, and they stared at me with wide eyes and a look of surprise on their faces.
"Tianyan, you ......"
"Don't worry, they're just a pair of armor, an empty shell, unlike the demon soldiers we encountered outside the rift before!" I didn't wait for Yan Xiaoying to ask, and took the initiative to explain.
"An empty shell? What's going on? Yan Xiaoying frowned.
"I don't know what's going on, if you don't believe it, you can come and have a look." I motioned for the two girls to come closer.
Yan Xiaoying and Liu Xiaojiao approached, staring at the fallen armor with a look of surprise on their faces.
After I saw the helmet in my hand handed it to Yan Xiaoying, I went to check on the few demon soldiers standing motionless in the vicinity, and found that they were all empty shells, and with a gentle push of my hand, they all collapsed and fell to the ground.
Yan Xiaoying was not happy when she saw such a scene, but her face was gloomy, and she said to me and Liu Xiaojiao: "If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, Tianyan, don't you remember the scene when the second master dealt with the three demon soldiers in the rift valley at that time?" ”
"Remember, what do you want to say?" I asked, nodding my head.
"At that time, the second master used the ghost in the spirit banner to force out the demon soldier yin soul in the demon soldier's body, and after he received the demon soldier yin, the demon soldier was just like in front of him, only an empty shell remained!" Yan Xiaoying said faintly.
"Your consciousness is saying that right now, these demon soldiers, their ghosts have all been taken away? That's why there's an empty shell left here. ”
I was shocked: "Could it be the second master?" Did he come in while we were unconscious? Did he take these demon ghosts away? ”
"I don't think it's possible!"
Yan Xiaoying shook her head slightly and said, "Although the second master is powerful, it was not easy to subdue the three demon soldiers in the rift valley before, and even lost dozens of ghosts in the soul conjuring banner because of this. At the moment, there are no less than hundreds of demon soldiers here, he has to deal with so many demon soldiers, and he is afraid that there must be tens of thousands of ghosts in his soul flag, which is simply impossible, no one can deal with so many demon soldiers and ghosts, even if a strong person at the level of a heavenly master encounters it, he will probably have to frown. ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"Demon Soldier Shade may have left the armor on its own!" Yan Xiaoying said in a deep voice.
"You're saying they voluntarily abandoned their armor and became Demon Soldier Shadows, why did they do that? If our guess comes true, then where are those demon warrior ghosts now? ”
I looked at Yan Xiaoying and saw that the latter was staring at the top of the black altar in the distance.
I was shocked in my heart, could it be that those demon soldiers and ghosts were all on the black altar at this moment?
"Huh...... Tianyan, Xiaoying, come and see, am I dazzled, I actually saw a chicken feather on the ground, come and see, is it a chicken feather? ”
At this moment, Liu Xiaojiao, who had been silent, seemed to have noticed something, and pointed to the ground in surprise.
"Chicken feathers?"
My heart moved, and I glanced at Yan Xiaoying, and then looked at the place Liu Xiaojiao pointed, and really found a chicken feather on the ground.
I handed the lamp in my hand to Yan Xiaoying, bent down to pick up the chicken feathers on the ground and picked them up, and in the light of the fire, I found that the chicken feathers were golden, and there were blood stains on the roots.
"It's a golden rooster, I saw it falling from the sky when I was in the rift valley before, and I didn't expect it to come in here!" I whispered.
Yan Xiaoying groaned: "The reason why the golden rooster entered here is to find trouble with the six-winged centipede. It doesn't have to be here, but now its feathers are here, which means that the six-winged centipede king may be here! ”
"What, you said that big centipede with wings, it's here?"
When Liu Xiaojiao heard Yan Xiaoying say this, her face suddenly showed a deep look of fear.
It seems that she was taken captive by the six-winged centipede king before, and she already has a deep fear of the six-winged centipede king.
In fact, this is also human nature, not to mention Liu Xiaojiao's color change, even when I learned that the flying centipede might be here, I couldn't help but gasp in my heart.
The six-winged centipede king was so terrifying, we were vigilant and patrolled around, except for a few feathers dropped by the golden rooster on the ground, we didn't see the shadow of the six-winged centipede king at all.
This place is so big that if the six-winged centipede were hidden, it would be difficult for us to find it for a while.
Hiss!
At this time, I felt something move in my hand, and when I looked down, I found that it was a small red snake wrapped around my arm, and it opened its mouth to bite the golden chicken feather in my hand.
I snatched the golden chicken feather from its mouth, and it seemed to get angry and slipped off my arm and fell to the ground.
Then, with its snake body, it swam towards the golden chicken feathers not far away.
Yan Xiaoying and Liu Xiaojiao and I followed the little red snake and found that it was licking the blood stains on the root of the chicken feathers, and the chicken blood seemed to have a great attraction to it......
