Volume 2, The Lost Trace of the Sand Sea Chapter 187, Escape from the King's Tomb
"What did you say!" The two were shocked.
At this time, Haozi and Liang Shaokai, who went out to look for something, walked back with a few backpacks and weapons.
"O'Rangk and Yan, they died a lot, I couldn't find our backpack, but these people have a lot of things!"
Haozi threw the backpack and submachine gun in his hand on the ground with a bang, and took out a medical bag from the bag and walked towards Ye Rong.
"How is Taozi, how is he, he ......." Before he finished speaking, Haozi looked at Chen Tao, who was already unconscious on the ground, and then glanced at the expressions of the two sisters, Ye Rong and Ye Ling'er, and his heart sank.
At this time, Chen Tao had returned to his normal appearance, and the weird red blood lines on his body had disappeared, and the five blood holes on his stomach were shocking.
He ....... He won't ......"
"Little brother! My little brother! Liang Shaokai rushed over with a whoop and was stopped by Balohard.
"He's not dead, but he's ....... Alas! ”
"Commander Barlow, what did you just say, Chen Tao is saved?" Ye Rong looked at Ballohard.
"I don't know if it's true, but legend has it that Mongotos is a sacred beast in charge of people's souls. Mongotos has a treasure, a divine orb that it has condensed after devouring countless souls. If a dying person can get that divine bead, he will be able to preserve his soul and even come back from the dead! When the god of war Nacarossa fought with the evil beast of the North Sea, Bulrado, and unfortunately died, his sister Nakara, the god of the underworld, resurrected the god of war Nacarosa with the pearl of Mongotos. ”
Balohad was serious and careful.
In this godless age, no one would believe that such a legend could be true.
"You mean, this bead is the Divine Bead of Mongotos?" Ye Ling'er's big eyes blinked, and there were still a few crystal tears hanging on her eyelashes.
She had carefully studied all the information about Tatunaan before coming, but she had never heard of such a legend.
"I know this stuff sounds outrageous, but, believe it or not." Ballohard's face was solemn, and he handed over the bead, which had become a little red and transparent, to Ye Rong's hand.
"So far, there is no other way, let's be a dead horse and a live horse doctor!" Ye Rong sighed helplessly.
"No, I don't agree, if Taozi has any three advantages and two shortcomings, I will definitely not accept it!"
"But is there any other way now? He's dying! ”
Haozi was silent, looking at Chen Tao, who was covered in blood on the ground and had already stepped into the ghost gate in half a step, he stubbornly turned his head.
"I'm going to find something to come over, maybe it will be of some use."
"Alas, Commander Barlow, you say, how to save it?"
"Come!" Balohad placed the bead on top of a clean piece of gauze, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and smashed it with a thud.
He reached out and picked out a small pale red ball the size of a fingernail from the pile of scraps and stuffed it into Chen Tao's mouth, and then used the handle of the knife to crush the remaining pieces into powder
handed it over to Ye Rong.
"Put this powder on his wounds, whether you live or die, leave it to fate!"
There was wind and sand everywhere, and Ye Rong finally applied those powders into Chen Tao's wounds.
Haozi took out two spears from the stone statue, made a simple stretcher with Liang Shaokai, and put Chen Tao, who was covered in bandages, on it.
"What are we going to do next, we can't just stay here and wait for death, right?" Liang Shaokai looked at the sandstorm outside, at this time, a large number of buildings had been buried, and even a huge sand dune had been piled up in front of the temple gate, and it was still expanding.
"It seems that there is only one way." There was a struggle in Balohard's eyes, "Through the underground king's tomb, there is an underground river connected there, and if you follow the river, there may be a glimmer of life to get out." ”
"What about them?" Haozi snorted at Yan and Ou Lunk and the others in the distance.
"Well, they're the same as we thought." Ye Rong sneered, "Otherwise, what do you think those people are doing when they're walking around the hall." ”
"They must be looking for a secret passage to the king's tomb." Ye Ling'er looked at Chen Tao's face and saw that he was still in extreme weakness.
"I hope those beads will work......."
Ye Linger prayed in her heart.
At this time, the storm has become bigger and bigger, the steps at the entrance of the main hall have been completely buried by sand, the temple is dark, only a few bare gaps are still faintly showing some dim light, from time to time there is a whimpering ghost roar, echoing and overlapping in this empty hall, and the hearts of those who listen are chilled.
At the other end of the hall, the light and shadow were crowded, Yan and Ou Langke and the others didn't know what they were doing, and no one cared about Chen Tao and them in the corner for a while.
"Will he really wake up?" Ye Ling'er asked Balohad on the side softly, and there was only silent silence that answered her.
Liang Shaokai gave everyone a backpack and went out to find some food and water.
Tossed up to now, they haven't dripped.
So, what about Chen Tao?
Since he fell into a coma, Chen Tao's whole body has been in an unconscious state, and he doesn't know if he is dead or alive.
There was no pain, no sound, nothing, he lost all touch of the outside world.
Chen Tao felt like a ghost in the dark, wandering in the endless abyss.
Time seems to stand still, and it seems like hundreds, even millennia, have passed.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Tao suddenly felt a burst of heat in his chest, and an extremely strange feeling flowed through his whole body.
At this moment, he seemed to see the huge lizard monster with a cracked head devouring him again.
Completely unconscious, Chen Tao was swallowed by the monster, as if he was wrapped in some strange illusory thing.
He felt that his strength was recovering little by little, his consciousness was returning little by little, and he seemed to hear some noisy human voices in his ears.
One
Thin red threads flowed on Chen Tao's body, and no one noticed what was happening on Chen Tao's body under the bandage.
Ye Rong and the others sat in the corner, each eating something to replenish their strength, and no one spoke.
"Master Long! No, or should I call you, Miss Ye Rong! With his trademark evil smile on the corner of his mouth, Yan walked towards Chen Tao and the others.
"That kid from the Chen family has done us a great favor this time, and I thank him for all the people who survived!"
"Hmph, weasel New Year's greetings to chickens!" Haozi was in front of Chen Tao, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yan who came over, and his fingers were already quiet
I felt my way into the sleeve.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything!" Looking at the alert crowd, Yan smiled, "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, trapped here, we can only wait for death, it is better for us to put aside our grievances for the time being, and everything will be broken when we get out!" ”
"Make your spring and autumn dreams!" Haozi retorted mercilessly, "Even if I, Li Hao, starve to death, be trapped to death, and jump from here and crash to death, I won't cooperate with someone like you!" ”
"Hmph, the Chen family's miscellaneous pieces, I think you're too long!" O'Ranke scolded and looked at Haozi viciously, and there was a murderous aura in the eyes of Hai Moton on the side, and his hand was already pressed on the long knife on his waist.
"Orenke, I didn't expect you to betray the Great Wizard and collude with foreigners!" Balohad patted Haozi on the shoulder, took a step forward, and stopped in front of Haozi.
These people are Chen Tao's best friends, and he will not allow anyone to hurt them.
"Hmph, Balohard, times have changed, and some things, when you know the truth about it, will become worthless." O'Rank's eyes flickered as he looked at Ballohard, and if someone he didn't know saw it, he thought it was two friends chatting.
The atmosphere on both sides was somewhat tense,
"Cooperate or die, you choose." Yan's voice was a little cold, and he looked at Haozi and the others as if they were looking at a few dead people.
"Hmph, do we have a choice?" Ye Rong walked over, "You ......"
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Ye Rong, so that her words could not be spoken.
"Chen Tao! You're awake! A stream of tears welled up in Ye Ling'er's beautiful eyes.
"God forbid!" An inexplicable brilliance flashed in Ballohard's eyes, Chen Tao could be saved by the Divine Bead, this is simply a miracle!
"Let's cooperate." Chen Tao coughed and looked up from the stretcher, his eyes having returned to their normal color.
"Can't, Taozi! I ......."
Haozi on the side wanted to say something more, but Chen Tao glanced at him and signaled him to calm down first and not be rash.
At this time, the situation was too disadvantaged, and Chen Tao no longer wanted to see someone die in front of him.
"The little boss of the Chen family is really a smart person." Yan nodded with satisfaction, at this time, the wind and sand outside could no longer blow in, Ah Cheng took a few of his subordinates to pack up the equipment on the ground.
Light up in the dark
With a flashlight, the group walked around the altar and walked towards the deepest part of the main hall.
Behind the altar are several tall stone statues, the largest in the middle, the highest status of the main deity in Tatunaan legend, and on either side of him are some other gods who are in charge of life and death, yin and yang, heaven and earth.
Balohad walked under the largest throne of the main god, reached out and groped for a while on the stone wall, and finally grabbed a part of a pattern on it with his hand and pressed it down hard.
Click......
With a loud sound of stone slabs pushing and grinding, a stone wall beneath the throne slowly rose.
"This is the entrance to the king's tomb, don't touch anything inside!" Balohard's face was gloomy as he warned Yan and O'Lunk and the others.
Behind the stone wall was a long, dark passageway, and everyone cautiously walked into it with flashlights.
Haozi and Liang Shaokai supported Chen Tao, who was still a little weak, and followed closely behind Balohard, while Ye Rong and Ye Ling'er sisters followed behind them.
Further on, there are Yan, Ah Cheng, as well as Ou Rank, Hay Morton and others.
After all the previous experiences, more than half of their people died, and at this time there were only a dozen of them.
There are very neat strips of stones on the ground of the secret passage, and the stone walls on both sides are all kinds of human murals and reliefs.
The art of the Tatunanians is very special, combining two-dimensional murals and three-dimensional reliefs, making the things in the picture more distinct and vivid.
The paint is very well preserved, the color is still very full after thousands of years, the flashlight shines in the past, the secret passage is colorful, and the people who look at it are dazzled.
In the tomb of the king is buried the kings of Tatunaan, the closer the age is, the closer the people walk in the secret passage, as if crossing time and space, walking on the historical axis of Tatunan.
The depictions on these stone walls are also the greatest deeds of King Tatunaan during his lifetime.
Most of them are the expansion of the territory and the city, the tribal wars, and some of them depict the king leading the people to dig mountains and rivers, build temples, and some depict large-scale sacrificial activities.
On one of the murals, Chen Tao even saw the scene depicting the holy rat saving the country, which made Chen Tao wonder which one is the truth, the legend or the official history.
Or, the legend itself, is history!
These murals are very detailed, and every character is depicted in detail.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to these intricate murals, and when they walked up to the murals of the fifth King Tatunan, the contents of them made Chen Tao unable to take his eyes off them.
"It's ......."
