Chapter 200: A Terrible Cycle

The blood corpses found them and frantically pounced on them, but fortunately, Jiang Tianzhou and Ouyang De's methods were extraordinary, and they dealt with the two blood corpses in time. But the movement here still attracted the bloody corpses at the entrance of the tomb.

The sound of rustling footsteps and muffled grunts came from afar.

Knowing that the bloody corpses were coming this way, the three of them hurried towards the tomb. Not long after, Ouyang De inadvertently triggered a mechanism, and a stone door opened.

The bloody corpse behind could already see a vague figure, so the three of them dodged into the stone door.

The three people who entered the stone gate breathed a sigh of relief. But when Zhu Sibo re-lit the torches, he was horrified to find that they had entered a terrible place.

Behind the stone gate, there was a deep pit more than ten meters deep. The pit is circular in shape and has a diameter of more than ten meters.

The three of them stood at the edge of the pit. At that time, all three of them were terrified for a while, but fortunately they did not fall into the pit. But what is the purpose of such a deep pit, the three of them don't know.

Curious, Ouyang De threw a glow stick into the pit.

At this time, I found that near the bottom of the deep pit, there were holes on the soil layer several meters high. At first, it was quiet in the hole, but not long after the glow stick fell into the pit, there was a "hissing" sound from inside the hole.

My second senior brother looked over and saw flat heads poking out of those holes.

The eyes of those heads were still red. Because the Dharma Eye has been opened, the eyesight of all my second senior brothers, Jiang Tianzhou and Ouyang De, is still relatively clear in the dark.

They noticed that the heads peeking out of the holes turned out to be the heads of snakes. And the snakes seemed to have found three men standing on top of the pit, and they all crawled out of the hole and crawled up the rough walls of the pit.

And all three of them found out that those snakes were all poisonous snakes.

There are dense poisonous snakes of various colors, and they look extremely terrifying. For a while, the three of them didn't know what to do. Fortunately, my second senior brother has realgar on him.

However, the amount of realgar is still limited. So even if those dense poisonous snakes are afraid of realgar, at this moment, if they don't want to escape, they will definitely die.

And if you fall under a deep pit, it's even more fucked.

Fortunately, the three of them were clinging to the wall. After walking for a while, they found that in a place opposite the pit, there was another stone door.

When they saw the stone door, the three of them were pleasantly surprised. In a hurry, they hurried towards the stone gate.

As soon as I got there, snake venom crept up from the pit. My second senior brother shot a few poisonous snakes with jujube nails, and at the same time raised realgar powder in front of the stone gate, which prevented those poisonous snakes from continuing to approach.

However, unlike before, this stone door also needs to be triggered.

But the three of them searched for a long time but couldn't find where the mechanism was. At this time, countless poisonous snakes had gathered in front of the realgar powder. The vipers spewed letters, their red eyes fixed on the three of them, as if they were about to become their wombs.

Ouyang De was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and a layer of hot sweat appeared on his forehead.

On the contrary, at this time, Zhu Sibo took out a silver box. Zhu Sibo said that the weapon is called "Pear Blossom Needle", which is a hidden weapon made by the ancients. There are thousands of pear blossom needles hidden in the box.

And the top of each pear blossom needle is contaminated with poison, once a living creature is shot and injured, it is absolutely certain death.

He placed the "pear blossom needle" in the direction of the poisonous snakes. Then, Zhu Sibo touched a mechanism above.

I only heard a "click", and there were countless poisonous needles, fanning, shooting towards those poisonous snakes.

For a while, all the poisonous snakes that surrounded them were shot one after another, and the snake's body was twisted, and the scene became very chaotic for a while. Because of the pear blossom needle, the tension of the three people was slightly relieved.

At this time, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou finally discovered the switch of the stone door, in a recess on the stone wall next to him, and then he pulled the hemp rope in the recess of the switch, and the stone door opened.

After opening the stone door, the three of them hurriedly entered the stone door.

But this time, they were all very careful, for fear that behind the stone gate, there was still a deep pit. Although they were very careful, the scene behind the stone gate still made their hearts beat again.

Behind this stone door, there is really a deep pit.

The depth and width of the pit are almost the same as the first one, and there are many holes below.

Could it be that there is still snake venom in those holes? When they thought of this, all three of them were scared.

This time, though, Zhu Sibo didn't throw a glow stick at the bottom of the pit. The three men found that there was also a stone door on the opposite side of the pit.

Why did another stone door appear? The tombs here are not as good as I imagined.

Generally speaking, the back of the stone door has to be from the burial chamber, or from the place where many burial goods are kept, if not the path to the main burial chamber. But by that time, they had been in the tomb for several hours, and they had not found a single burial object.

The three of them had no choice, knowing that the bottom of the pit might be dangerous, and they didn't dare to look too much at the bottom of the pit, but just like they had just done on the first pit, they began to circle the pit and approach the stone gate on the opposite side.

However, at this time, with a "squeak", Ouyang De's foot accidentally stepped on a living thing. At that time, after that thing screamed, it scared Ouyang De enough, and he thought it was a poisonous snake or something.

And because the road on the edge of the pit was too narrow, Ouyang De was nervous, and his feet stepped on the edge of the pit and fell down.

At that time, the situation was very urgent, but fortunately, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou made a timely move, grabbed Ouyang De's hand, and pulled Ouyang De up.

But the sound just now was very loud. For a while, there was a messy and "squeaky" sound from inside the pit.

Zhu Sibo shone it down with a torch, and the three of them could see clearly, this time it was not a poisonous snake that came out of those holes.

It's a rat that is black and has dry hair all over its body.

When the rat spotted the three men, they quickly chased after them, also along the dirt wall of the pit. And what Ouyang De stepped on just now was a mouse.

The rat had been trampled on by him and had burst out of its intestines.

The three people who knew that it was not good hurried and hurried towards the stone gate not far away. Luckily, the rats seemed to be scared of the torches in Zhu Sibo's hand, so when they approached, they didn't immediately attack the three of them.

Rather, gather together and stare at the three people.

Being stared at by countless rats is quite terrifying.

Soon, the three of them went to the stone door. And it went smoothly, and found the switch to open the stone door. After entering the third stone door, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind the third stone door is also a deep pit, similar to the first pit and the second pit. The difference is that there are no poisonous snakes or large rats in the pit, but at the bottom of the pit, a dark red vine grows.

The vines were creeping on the ground, so dense that they couldn't seem to see any gaps. At the same time, my second senior brother noticed that from the hole at the bottom of the deep pit, streams of yellow liquid flowed out.

Those liquids became the source of water for those vines, providing nourishment for the vines.

What's more, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou also noticed that there were big rats gnawing on vines. It's amazing how quickly those vines can grow even if they are eaten.

It's incredible.

However, whether those vines and plants will attack people or not, the three of them have not verified. But Ouyang De mentions a plant that resembles a vine that crawls at the bottom of a deep pit. He said that the plant was called "blood vine", and that it was a vine that survived by sucking corpse fluid.

Moreover, this blood vine is also extremely aggressive.

So the three of them didn't dare to stay here any longer, but rushed to the fourth stone gate.

Soon, they entered the fourth stone door.

Like the scene behind the first, second, and third stone doors, there is also a deep pit behind the fourth stone door. And what made the three of them feel terrible was that the hole in the pit had moved up a little this time.

And there is a deep yellow pit of liquid that emits a fishy smell. That smell, especially irritating the nose, is corpse fluid.

There is also a corpse of a poisonous snake soaked in the deep pit. And most of the poisonous snake carcasses were eaten by maggots, which was unsightly.

When I saw this scene, my second senior brother Jiang Tianzhou thought of something, so he told Ouyang De and Zhu Sibo what he thought. My second brother told them that the pit was designed, and that it was connected to each other by those holes, forming an organic whole. It is very similar to the principle of "mulberry fish pond".

At first, there were poisonous snakes, which had to eat to survive. Earlier, there were not only poisonous snakes on the side of the first pit, but also some small white bones on the ground. At that time, my second senior brother didn't care, but after thinking about it, he understood that those tiny white bones were basically the bones of rats.

Snakes eat mice!

So how does the mouse survive, it naturally needs to eat, and it eats the rhizomes of those blood vines. Because the blood vine grows extremely fast, the rhizomes are able to feed the rats.

Rats eat blood vines!

So how does the blood vine survive, it depends on the corpse fluid of this pit in this fourth pit in front of his eyes.

The blood vine is nourished by corpse fluid!

So where did the corpse fluid come from, it was the poisonous snakes?

The corpse fluid soaked by those poisonous snakes should be mixed with some kind of substance, which has a certain toxicity. And this poison can cause those venomous snakes to live for a certain amount of time and die. The venomous snake of death entered this deep pit, soaked for a long time, and gave birth to corpse fluid.

The corpse fluid is generated from the carrion of poisonous snakes and certain other substances!

It's definitely a terrible cycle.

As soon as my second senior brother said his thoughts, he immediately got the approval of Ouyang De and Zhu Sibo.
