Chapter 62: The Main Burial Chamber
After doing this, I focused my eyes on the corner of the road, we did not rush forward but stood cautiously in place, the master took out a lighting rod and opened it and threw it around the corner.
I saw the red smoke and flames fly all the way to the corner with lightning flashes, and then we saw several thin reflections appear on the ground in front of us, although the reflections are a little blurry but can barely be judged to be human bodies, and it seems that they are still wearing clothes and headdresses.
Seeing this situation, we also felt a little numb in our scalps, judging from the reflection, there were quite a lot of them, no less than a dozen, no wonder these three people died so tragically.
I motioned for everyone to step back, and just then there was a low roar around the corner, and there were quite a few sounds to hear.
It seemed that they were about to attack, and at this time, Xiao Ye stood at the front and directly raised the rod to hit the trolls and was ready to fire, and almost in the next second, a few dry figures rushed out of the corner.
I was also shocked when I saw their appearance clearly, first of all, the most striking thing was a pair of blood-red eyes, although there was a light shining on, but I could vaguely see that the red was not the kind of red I usually saw, but glowing red, the body was extremely dry, only skin and bones remained, and the skin was gray-brown, all of them were stained with blood, and it looked very terrifying.
The fingertips grew terrible nails and were swaying like we rushed over, seeing this situation, the little grandfather was not in a hurry to hold up the big troll, and when those things were still three or four meters away from us, he suddenly pulled the trigger.
Hearing only a crisp gunshot, a long line of fire accompanied by strong cinnabar powder and steel balls hit those things like a long rainbow through the sun, and for a time the pitch-black corridor was illuminated.
You can clearly see the sparks crackling on those things, followed by a burst of roars.
At this moment, the first few were knocked to the ground, and only the last three were still standing in place, but the cinnabar powder in the air was still stained on them and made a loud noise.
At this time, three fiery red arrow shadows flew past my ears and shot the three things, and they fell to the ground when they heard two more roars, it was Qing'er who shot the arrow, I turned my head to look at Qing'er who was holding a longbow and smiled again, she also looked at the gentle smile on my face.
Everything was settled, we walked up, carefully checked on them, and found that these people I only wore a badge, which was somewhat similar to the pattern depicted on the iron door, I guessed that they should be the tomb keepers of the tomb, maybe they were infected by the corpse qi on their arms after they died, and became walking corpses, but because of the seal of this tomb, they had no way to go out and the outside world could only stay in the tomb.
Yang Dali and I looked at each other, took out the yellow talisman and recited the mantra of the past, these people were the heroes who protected this ancient tomb in their lives, and even when they died, they had to do their duty, which was worthy of admiration, although they became walking corpses, but the spirit of unswerving to death was worthy of admiration.
After doing this, let's not continue to walk along the corner of the road, we can see scattered corpses and fragments of internal organs scattered all over the place, and the smell of blood and corpses makes the surrounding atmosphere much more depressing.
After turning a few corners, we came to an ear room, according to the map it seems to be a place to store the corpses of those grave keepers, under the light of the keeper we can see dozens of coffins parked here, but these coffins are all open and there is no corpse in them, this should be the coffins of those walking corpses just now.
There was a hole in the southwest corner of the chamber with a diameter of one meter, and we went to check it and found that there were many traces of gunpowder explosions on it, and there were many bullet casings scattered around it, and it seemed that the group of people who came before us were fighting the walking corpses here.
We deliberated and decided to move on, and if we guessed correctly, the group was now not far from the main burial chamber, and if we didn't speed up our pace, they might be able to get their arms first.
So our group began to hurry along the side of the mouth again, this time our pace was much faster, because of the group of people to explore the way for us, so there was no obstacle to the road behind, and after walking for more than half an hour, we finally came to the door of the main burial chamber according to the map.
At this moment, a huge iron door appeared in front of us, which was already half opened, and we could hear the continuous sound of gunfire coming from inside, and we judged that there was a fierce battle going on inside, so we did not rush in.
From the open door, one side could be seen to be relatively bright, and it was faintly visible that there was a high staircase in the deepest part of the burial chamber, on which was a huge bronze coffin, and at the bottom of the staircase there were seven or eight men dressed in the same clothes as the three people they had seen earlier, strafing something on the other side, because of the problem of sight, it was impossible to see what they were shooting at.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the gunfire finally stopped, and then I saw a middle-aged man with one arm walking up the stairs, followed by two people, and carrying a delicate suitcase-sized box. The rest waited below with guns in hand.
The one-armed man walked up to the coffin and looked at it carefully, then took a dagger from his pocket and fiddled with it for a long time, and finally he told the two men to put down the box and open the lid.
The moment the lid of the coffin opened, I felt that the air began to compress, and then I felt a chill in my heart.
Not only me, but our group all felt the same way, I frowned tightly and whispered: "We must find a way to grab the arm before them, that one-armed man is likely to be Ize, if he gets it, the consequences will be unimaginable, I have a plan, wait a while I will summon the Yin soldiers to drag the remaining people, and then you put on the big trolls, Qing'er, you take the opportunity to knock down the two guys with guns above, and hand over the rest to us, There are two bottles here, which will be filled with sulfur and gunpowder, and you can easily make two smoke grenades, see my signal, everyone will do it together, they have guns in their hands, so pay attention to safety. ”
They nodded when they heard the words and prepared to go, the work of making smoke bombs was naturally handed over to the master, I directly summoned the gate of the heavens and then recited a spell, and after a while, more than a dozen figures appeared in front of us, they were all wearing gray robes, but now they don't want to see flesh and blood like when they have them, and under the gray robe is a white skeleton.
When I saw them coming, I hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Juniors, welcome all the Heavenly Masters. At the same time, the master also bowed down and said, "Contemporary Heavenly Master assistants see all Heavenly Masters. ”
