In the darkness, the torches flickered, and Chen Tao stood in front of a certain square hole, looking at something on the corpse's waist, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

As soon as the torch flickered, Chen Tao suddenly found that there was a bright thing on the waist of the ancient corpse, which was a dagger.

Or rather, a short knife.

The knife is less than twenty centimeters long, the grip is made of silver, and the gold wire is clearly engraved with exquisite patterns, the silver part has been rusted and blackened, and the gold engraving seems to have lost a lot of luster, and the end is inlaid with a dark green jade. The scabbard is jet black, I don't know what kind of material it is, after thousands of years, it still hasn't rotted, it looks simple and deep.

The short knife was pressed under the waist of the ancient corpse, and if it weren't for the fact that the emerald reflected the light of the torch and just shook into Chen Tao's eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Chen Tao glanced at the beard who was picking the head of the ancient corpse with a scimitar on the other side, and then touched Haozi's sleeve without a trace.

Chen Tao and Li Hao were naughty and mischievous, even a look knew what the other party was thinking.

Haozi winked at Chen Tao, and stepped sideways to block the sight of the bearded man and several nearby minions with his body.

Chen Tao saw the opportunity, reached out and pulled under the waist of the corpse, took the short knife in his hand, and put it in his trouser pocket.

At the moment, the three of them have no equipment or weapons, and with a guy in their hands, their hearts are suddenly a lot more steady.

Chen Tao saw that there were many stone pillars in this place, and the light was dim, so he immediately glanced at Haozi and Ye Rong, if there was a chance, he could use these stone pillars to escape.

There was black sand under his feet, and the broken bones and wreckage fell to the ground, and a person who stepped on it would tripped if he was not careful. Looking at everything under his feet, Chen Tao felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"There's something wrong with these broken bones, I suspect there's something in this place!"

"I feel the same way, as if something is watching us in the dark!" Haozi also whispered.

"Look at this!" Ye Rong stood in front of another square cave and wiped the sand from the pillar wall with her hands, revealing the strange words on it.

"What is this?" Seeing that those words are ghostly drawn, it should be Tatunaan's words again.

"This is the name of the deceased, the cause and time of death, and the major events and battles in which he participated." Ye Rong looked at the dry corpse in the square cave that was barely intact.

"Huh? No......" Ye Rong frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"The time of the corpse's death is wrong, Tatunaan was buried by the yellow sand more than 3,000 years ago, but the time on this body and this is written in the year 1588 of the Na'an calendar, which is equivalent to the thirteenth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, 388 AD, there is a difference of more than 1,200 years, how can this be?" Ye Rong looked puzzled, "Could it be that the Tatunan people have descendants who survived?" ”

"Don't care how many years, look at this!" Haozi pointed to the ancient corpse in the square cave and said, "How does that person look like a ghost!" ”

Chen Tao looked in the direction of Haozi's finger, and saw a dried corpse on the other side, with black and yellow body, chapped skin, and curled up hands and feet in an extremely weird way

What is even more surprising is that this corpse has a strange face with green fangs and a fierce face on its head.

Chen Tao looked at it carefully for a long time, and said that it is impossible for a person to grow such a face, and the proportions are not right, obviously beyond the size of a normal person's skull, and even the neck of the corpse can not be seen.

In different periods of history, the burial customs of people in different regions are different, and people in many places will wear a mask on the corpse after death to achieve protection or other functions for the deceased.

Therefore, Chen Tao felt that that thing should be just a mask. But then again, since they entered this hall, they have never seen a stone statue carving or totem with such a mask, how could such a person be placed here?

Chen Tao stared at the middle of his mind, and suddenly the grimace seemed to move.

"Moving...... Moved, do you see? Without waiting for Chen Tao to ask, Haozi had already spoken, and with a flip of his palm, a long nail was already caught in his finger.

The three of them stared at the corpse intently, and began to quietly retreat under their feet.

"Again...... It's moving again! Chen Tao subconsciously, his hand had already touched the short knife in his pocket.

The movement here attracted the attention of the bearded man and the others, Hai Morton walked over with a fierce face with a torch, and saw that the three of them looked at the corpse and did not move, pulling out the long knife and was about to threaten, his eyes saw the grimace on the corpse, and with a bang, he pulled out the scimitar with a bang, squeezed between Chen Tao and Ye Rong, and stabbed the grimace without hesitation.

Chirping!!!!

Grimace suddenly let out a terrible scream, and flew up from the corpse, and everyone was shocked.

That thing turned out to be a living thing!

Before they could see what it was, the grimace fluttered with two large wings and let out a strange creaking cry that went straight to Hajmorton's head.

Boom!

Haymorton was obviously taken aback by the thing, but he reacted very quickly, and with a swing of the scimitar in his hand, it was a slash at the thing that flew towards it.

Chirping! Creak!!!!

The thing screamed and flew straight away, hitting the shoulder of a nearby minion.

Yes!!!!

Suddenly something hung around his neck. The minions screamed in fright, flapped and threw the mass to the ground, and stomped on it a few times.

Suffering heavy blows one after another, the mass collapsed on the ground and squeaked and screamed, the two big wings kept fluttering, and the black sand and broken bones on the ground were everywhere by it.

At this time, Chen Tao had time to see what that thing was.

In the firelight, I saw that the thing was the size of a child of one or two years old, with a wide upper body and a narrow lower body, slender and sharp claws, a layer of flesh on its limbs, a layer of black fluff on its whole body, large ears, a wide jaw, like a fox, and two slender fangs, which were extremely ugly. On its back, there was a large, ugly grimace that changed with the movement of the thing in the light of the torch jumping

It's like I'm alive.

Chen Tao recognized this thing, it was actually a big bat, it was lying on the dried corpse just now, eating the flesh on the corpse's head!

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, the mass on the ground was really a bat, but this head was a little too big!

I was still looking at the big bat with a grimace on the ground, and there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the minion who had been hit by the bat suddenly fell to the ground, his skin was black, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and his whole body was like a sheep's madness.

Looking at his neck again, there were two more tooth holes, and black blood was dripping from them.

It turned out that the man's scream just now was not frightened, but the big grimace bat bit him on the neck.

"This thing is poisonous!" Chen Tao shouted, pulling Haozi and Ye Rong back a few steps in a row, and the grimaceous bat on the ground was not dead yet, in case it pounced and hurt people.

Chirping......

The grimaceous bat fluttered its wings on the ground, squeaking incessantly, and its dark eyes were full of resentment.

Dada!!!

Hai Morton has a hot temper, and he is not happy when he dies, and he is really upset to see the half-dead ghost-faced bat on the ground, so he picks up the rifle in his waist and is a shuttle, and the ghost-faced bat that he hits is full of flesh and blood, and the dead can no longer die.

"What's going on!" The bearded man pushed away a few minions around him, and saw a person lying on the ground, his death was strange and miserable, and he looked at the mess of meat, and his face was full of murderous intent.

Chirping....... Squeak squeak.......

Without waiting for the bearded man to ask, a series of squeaks and wings fluttered suddenly came to mind in the darkness, and the originally silent underground corpse hall brother suddenly became agitated, as if a storm was brewing in the darkness overhead.

"Oh no, I'm in big trouble now!" Ye Rong's face changed drastically, and a strong uneasiness surged up on her pretty face.

The surrounding cries became more and more screaming, swirling and winding in this closed underground corpse hall. Just listening to this voice, you can know that there are many of these big grimace bats overhead, and the number is extremely terrifying.

The bearded man knew something was wrong, and his mouth shouted, and in the darkness he suddenly remembered a clattering sound. One by one, they raised their heads and stared nervously at the black roof of the hall, and the cold sweat on their foreheads came down.

Chen Tao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his hand had already touched the short knife in his pocket, and he was engrossed in staring at the top of his head.

Squeak squeak!!!

The noise overhead was getting closer and closer, and the crowd was visibly uneasy, and a few minions kept whining and screaming, staring nervously at the top of their heads.

Chirping!

There was a sudden scream in the darkness, and a black shadow suddenly passed overhead, and a large ghost-faced bat swooped down, bringing a whirlwind and slamming it towards the bearded man's face.

Chen Tao really looked at it from the side, this one was several times bigger than the one just now, and it was almost comparable to half an adult.

"Hada!" The bearded man screamed and slammed the trigger in his hand.

Da Da ....

...

Dada.......

In the darkness, tongues of fire erupted, and bullets grazed dark red flames in the air towards the bat swarm overhead, and countless huge grimacing bats smashed down from mid-air like dumplings, and some crashed into the square hole in the stone pillar, rolling down with the dried corpses and burial goods inside.

"I'm Nima!" Haozi's eyes were straight, and the nails in his hands fell to the ground.

"Don't be stunned, hide quickly!" Chen Tao shouted, pulled Haozi and Ye Rong and rushed to the nearest stone pillar, pulled out the dried corpse inside, and got into it.

The bearded man and the others outside fell into a vicious battle, Chen Tao and the three of them hid in the square cave, looking at the bats and dried corpses around them, the gunshots in their ears continued, mixed with the screams of grimaceous bats, and the scalps of the people who listened to them were numb, and their heads did not dare to come out.

These grimace bats are surprisingly big, and Chen Tao and they don't have guns, even if they don't get bitten to death when they stand outside, they can be stoned to death by the bat corpse that fell from the top of their heads.

Looking at the scuffle outside, Chen Taoxin raised his throat.

What can I do?
