Chapter 172: Exploring the Ancient Tomb at Night
Ten minutes later, Xu Ran returned home panting, and at the same time, the figure of the "foodie" also appeared in the air.
Seeing that the ghost owl was fine, Xu Ran was always relieved.
He opened the wooden door, and then a cool breeze hit from behind, and he turned his head to see that the "foodie" was still clutching the dress, and his mouth was still giggling, not knowing whether he was happy or sad.
Xu Ran realized this time that he was still naked. Although it is not cold this autumn, it is still a little cool after standing outside for a long time.
Back at the wooden house, Huang Jing and Xu Mei's figures were no longer in the house, and only Xu Ran was left at home at the moment.
He first found a piece of clothing to put on his body, and then sat down on the stool, thinking about what had just happened.
What is that cave used for, but it's a pity that Huang Jing is not here, otherwise he will know the situation when he asks.
For the next period of time, he waited silently, and finally in about an hour, Huang Jing and Xu Mei came back from outside at the same time.
As soon as she entered the door, Huang Jing's expression seemed a little hurried. Xu Ran asked her what was wrong, and she said after a long time.
"They're fighting the idea of the tomb."
"Tombs! Is it the cave next to the grave? Xu Ran asked.
"How do you know, have you been?" Huang Jing was a little surprised, how could Xu Ran know the way there.
"Been there, just came back from there." Xu Ran patted the mud on his head, so he told him what had happened before.
"So the owl on the shoulder took you there?" Both of them didn't believe Xu Ran's words. So Xu Ran told the experience of meeting the ghost owl again.
"You said it ate Gu worms and didn't do anything at all?" Relatively speaking, Huang Jing was more interested in why the ghost owl didn't die after eating the Gu worm.
Xu Ran nodded: "See it with your own eyes." ”
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given the ghost owl the nickname "foodie".
"That's weird." Huang Jing looked a little confused. "Could it be because it has some anti-poison genes in it?"
Xu Ran didn't know this, so there was no way to answer her question at all.
"That's right! What treasures are buried in that cave? Xu Ran asked, he felt that the things in the cave would not be simple.
"I don't know. According to the older generation, there was a corpse that did not decompose. ”
"What can they do with this corpse?" Xu Ran asked again.
This time, Huang Jing couldn't answer, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know if it has something to do with Gu anyway." ”
Xu Ran nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Huang Jing, and finally under the mutual eye contact, the two thought of a piece.
"Will it be eternal life?" Huang Jing said.
Xu Ran felt that this was possible, so he nodded and said, "Or maybe it's a human Gu." ”
This time, even Xu Mei on the side understood: "They want to dig up the corpse and then do research."
Yes, that's the only way they'll go to such lengths to stay here.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that Xu Ran would sneak into the ancient tomb alone tonight.
At about eight o'clock, Xu Mei, Huang Jing, and Xu Ran changed into black clothes and prepared to sneak into the ancient tomb, and Huang Jing and Xu Mei took cover to lure away the big men, but Xu Ran went into the ancient tomb alone to inquire about the situation.
After walking for about ten minutes, Xu Ran and Huang Jing and Xu Mei came to the vicinity of the ancient tomb.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, and in the absence of light, he can not see his five fingers, so he can only smear forward, but this operation has one more partner, that is, the owl "foodie"
On both sides of the entrance of the cave, there are still two big men guarding them, but not the previous two, but a different group of people. At this moment, the two of them were on guard everywhere, and in the light of the torches, their black figures flashed, still wearing the black clothes.
The people of the God Organization seemed to be very attentive to the contents of the ancient tomb, and after a while, two more people were sent, one team was responsible for patrolling and the other team was responsible for guarding.
However, at this moment, the cyborg that appeared at noon also appeared at the entrance of the cave, and it seemed that the entrance was strictly guarded.
Xu Ran gestured to Huang Jing, according to the previous discussion, use Gu worms to confuse, but this kind of play is only useful for animals, as for the half-robot, they don't have much hope.
Huang Jing nodded, I don't know when, a worm has already come out of the corner of the clothes, golden and a little dazzling, but it is night now, and it is also dim.
And Xu Ran quickly moved towards the entrance of the cave, there are not many trees here, only a few scattered trees, it is difficult to hide their figures, these trees are only thick for adults, and they can barely hide one person.
However, there is no shelter nearby, and the patrolling men basically revolve around the big trees. And Xu Ran wanted not to be discovered, so he could only climb the big tree and hide.
The Gu worms put by Huang Jing didn't know what they were doing in the wild grass, and at this moment, the weeds were shaking, and there was a sound of shala, as if someone was hiding somewhere.
It is believed that after the noon loss, the cyborg will be cautious at all, because the ambush is likely to be buried in the soil, which is a blind spot that the thermal detector is easy to ignore.
However, when the man in black took a closer look, he found that there was nothing, only overgrown with weeds.
Dazzled, or is it your own delusion?
The black-clothed man furrowed his eyebrows, and when he turned his head, the fire suddenly went out, as if it had been blown out by the wind.
"What's going on?" He hurriedly asked.
However, the two men guarding the entrance of the cave quickly replied: "Maybe the wind is too much and it has been blown out." One of them replied.
Just when the surroundings were plunged into darkness, Huang Jing and Xu Mei suddenly moved, and quickly moved towards the entrance of the cave.
"There's someone over there, go over and have a look."
Hearing that someone had discovered the situation, the two people on patrol immediately adjusted their direction and walked in search of the sound, and at this moment, Xu Ran's opportunity finally came, he jumped down from the big tree and cautiously approached the entrance of the cave.
However, at this moment, Huang Jing and Xu Mei have already started with the three big men, and the five of them are inseparable from each other for a while, but it is still unfavorable to Huang Jing and them in the long run. So Xu Ran took advantage of the chaos at the scene, and came to the entrance of the cave with a dodge, and then flicked his fingers a few times, I don't know what method was used, the two people guarding the entrance of the cave seemed to be stunned and stunned, and Xu Ran also took advantage of this work to flash directly into the entrance of the cave, and at the same time there was a black shadow followed, this is the ghost owl named "foodie" by Xu Ran.
Huang Jing saw that Xu Ran had successfully lurked in, so she no longer fell in love with the battle, and slowly moved behind her, preparing to evacuate, but at this critical juncture, she was accidentally slapped by the big man, and immediately retreated.
Seeing this, Xu Mei on the side immediately pulled out to the rescue, flicked her fingers lightly, extinguished all the lights, and then pulled Huang Jing and ran into the distance.
"I want to go!"
The half-robot black-clothed man was unaffected, his left eye flashed red, and he immediately saw two figures moving quickly, and he immediately chased after him.
However, when he caught up with him for some distance, the heat sensing in his left eye was immediately affected, and several figures appeared in front of him.
It's a trap!
He immediately signaled that something was wrong, and when he stopped, several figures scattered from four directions, where were the figures of Huang Jing and Xu Mei.
In the end, the two of them managed to escape under the cover of everyone.
......
In the dark tunnel, a beam of fire rose up, and with the appearance of the firelight, the surrounding walls instantly became clear.
Xu Ran walked inside with the tunnel, and the ghost owl led the way in front, their combination was quite strange, and it seemed a little incongruous for one person and one bird to walk in the dark.
However, the ghost owl is very human, much better than the average person, don't look at its small size, but it can see in the dark, and its nose is no worse than that of a dog, and it can distinguish the breath of Shenxi Yakana and others in the air.
"Foodie" suddenly cooed a few times, as if he had found something in front, and then a bright light appeared in front of Xu Ran's eyes, Xu Ran knew that this was someone passing by, so he jumped up, his hands and feet against the rock walls on both sides, and the whole person was suspended on the top of the tunnel.
The light is getting stronger and stronger, fully illuminating the entire passage, it is a searchlight, there are two people in total, it seems to be patrolling, Xu Ran didn't expect that there would be people patrolling here, so after this bright light disappeared, he jumped down from it.
For the rest of the road, there were still people patrolling, but they were all dodged by him, and no one seemed to be able to discover his existence.
Further inside is the hard wall, the tunnel is getting narrower and narrower, the ghost owl in front seems to have returned home, from time to time in the mouth makes strange noises, very mad, Xu Ran knew that its old problem is again, so he rolled his eyes and knocked lightly on the ghost owl's head.
The ghost owl fluttered its wings in dissatisfaction, but did not do anything excessive, but became much more honest.
With the rancid smell in the air, Xu Ran quickly came to a stone room, where several coffins were parked, and as soon as Xu Ran came in, he saw a black coffin inside.
Overall, these coffins are nothing special, except for some strange patterns, the only thing left is the small black hole, at first Xu Ran didn't care much, thinking that it was because of decay that the hole would appear, but when he saw that someone did it deliberately, he immediately became vigilant, he naturally didn't think that there was a treasure here, don't forget what kind of place this is, because this is the place where Gu worms have been stored for generations.
As soon as his thoughts fell, there was a sparse sound in the coffin, as if something was crawling inside the coffin, and the sound was very harsh.
There's something inside!
Xu Ran slowly walked away from the coffin, and before he took a few steps, the small hole in the head of the coffin crawled out of something black, much like a shell.
However, the ghost owl seemed very excited, bouncing on the side, if it hadn't seen Xu Ran by his side, it was estimated that it would have given full play to its foodie skills to destroy the enemy.
Don't think about it, this is definitely not an ordinary insect, it is very likely to be a Gu insect cultivated by the Miao people, but it's a pity that Huang Jing is not by Xu Ran's side, otherwise she will definitely be able to recognize it.
Just when Xu Ran was groaning slightly, the stone room had become black and oppressive, and Xu Ran and the "foodies" were basically tightly wrapped by these insects.
It's too late to want to go.
But the owl was very excited, and its cute eyes were full of greed, as if to say that I would destroy you on behalf of the moon.
Xu Ran wanted to stop it, but the speed of the "foodie" was too fast, and as soon as he didn't pay attention, the ghost owl rushed forward and opened his mouth to peck frantically.
However, the shells of these black beetles were very hard, and the ghost owl pecked for a while, but it could not break through their defenses, so it could only return to Xu Ran's side and make an aggrieved expression.
