Chapter 231: The Dragon Coffin
In Zhao Yang's mind, the overall scale and layout of the tomb of the emperor of this Futuo Kingdom have gradually become clear.
Therefore, as long as there is no problem with the compass, and on the basis of accurate direction, Zhao Yang can basically guess which direction of the tomb is what is what.
It's not simple self-confidence, it's professionalism!
The raft paddled on the calm river for about half an hour.
The silence of the river also makes the atmosphere extremely low and gloomy, and at the same time it becomes more and more eerie.
Although the psychological quality of Zhao Yang and the three of them was very hard, they couldn't help but be accelerated by the heartbeat suppressed by this terrifying atmosphere.
Even Zhao Yang is a little unaccustomed to this feeling, and he has been vigilantly looking at the river around him, if he makes a little movement, he may be able to make Zhao Yang move.
But the more calm this long time was, the more Zhao Yang felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In this half an hour, I paddled a distance of about two or three kilometers to the depths.
As Zhao Yang expected, he did see another tributary of the Blood River in front of him.
If you guessed correctly, this should be the blood river that surrounds the palace of the generals of the Xunwang Mansion.
Like the first river of blood seen before, red blood trickled into the river of blood.
Some people may have doubts in their hearts when they see this, since the two are connected, then the blood water in the blood river surrounding the six households is still so pure, but it has not been diluted?
If blood ghouls can operate in these rivers of blood, why can't the huge underground rivers outside?
In fact, Zhao Yang also had this doubt in his heart before, so he was nervously vigilant throughout the whole process. Until this time, I saw the scene in front of me, in fact, the two blood rivers did not flow to each other, these blood river tributaries from the six tombs were slightly higher, and the blood water flowed into the huge underground river, but in fact, they were not connected, and it felt as if they were using a trick.
The special topography is the main reason for this.
However, Zhao Yang can only understand the reason, not the principle, after all, Zhao Yang studied archaeology, not geography.
But these did not affect the judgment of the entire tomb in the slightest, nor did it prevent Zhao Yang and the three of them from standing on the raft and continuing to slide the oars to explore and move forward.
Zhao Yang also did not choose to go ashore, and continued to row the oars on the river with a fixed gaze.
At this time, Zhao Yang felt like a gambler, and his current behavior was to take his life to make a big gamble, betting that there was a direction in his heart in front of him.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, it felt like a long time, and Zhao Yang passed by six tributaries of the Blood River in a row.
After advancing about a kilometer, Zhao Yang found that the mountain walls on both sides seemed to be slowly narrowing to both sides, until they narrowed to a distance of about 500 meters longitudinally, and there was no road ahead, as if they had completely come to an end.
At the same time, Zhao Yang also saw three tributaries of the Blood River on the left and right sides and directly in front of him, and the viscous black-brown blood water slowly flowed into this huge blood river.
"Could it be that this is the Nine Dragons entering the sea as mentioned in the nameless ancient book?"
Zhao Yang's brows furrowed, looking at the scene in front of him, and muttering to himself in his heart.
Isn't the blood of the nine tributaries flowing to the underground river at the same time like 'Nine Dragons Entering the Sea'?
"Young master, there is no road ahead!"
Chen Fuwang looked at the distance in front of him and whispered.
"Hmm" Zhao Yang nodded, then looked down at his feet, and said, "There is indeed no road ahead, but we have already arrived." ”
"Arrived?"
"Arrived?"
Zhao Yang's words made Chen Fuwang and Xing Yunfu's eyes widen at the same time.
But out of Xing Yunfu's admiration for Zhao Yang before, he didn't have any doubts, but subconsciously looked around carefully.
There was nothing special around except for the tributaries of the three blood rivers, so in the end, Xing Yunfu also set his eyes on the river at his feet, and seemed to have guessed in his heart what Zhao Yang's words meant.
"You guys wait here first, I'm good at water, go down and have a look first!"
Zhao Yang rolled up his sleeves and said lightly to Chen Fuwang and Xing Yunfu.
"Huh? Young master, this blood is muddy, and we don't know the depth of ......."
Before Chen Fuwang's words were finished, Zhao Yang directly interrupted him with a confident expression: "Don't worry, if there is a problem in the water, you won't wait until now, you just wait on it......"
When the words fell, Zhao Yang jumped down directly with the Unbounded Demon Pupil, and then quickly dived.
The water of the Blood River was actually warmer than the air outside.
But when Zhao Yang dived to a certain depth, the temperature of the river suddenly changed, and it felt like he had traveled to another underground world.
Zhao Yang held his breath and opened his eyes suddenly, the river water below was actually clear. The black-brown blood that I had seen on the surface before was just floating on the surface of the water like crude oil.
Under the strong green light of the Boundless Demon Pupil, Zhao Yang looked at everything at the bottom of the river in front of him, and the whole person was completely shocked.
I saw a larger circular altar at the bottom of the river, the altar was splendid, as if it were all made of gold, and in the middle of the altar, a huge golden coffin was tied with dozens of iron chains thicker than the waist.
This golden coffin is more than ten meters long, and a lifelike eight-clawed golden dragon is carved on the lid of the coffin, as if it is swimming in the water.
Golden coffin! And it's also carved with a golden dragon!
These messages undoubtedly point to the fact that this is the dragon coffin! The imperial coffin in the Emperor's Tomb!
The imperial coffin of this imperial tomb is actually hidden at the bottom of the underground river!
Because of the lack of breath holding, Zhao Yang glanced at the bottom of the river and immediately quickly chose to go up to breathe.
Burst......
Zhao Yang rushed out of the river.
Chen Fuwang and Xing Yunfu immediately helped pull Zhao Yang up.
"Young master, young master...... What do you think? Are you alright? Chen Fuwang hurriedly came over and asked with concern.
"Haha...... Haha......" Zhao Yang gasped for breath first, but he still couldn't help laughing excitedly.
Xing Yunfu looked at Zhao Yang's smile, as if she had guessed something, and hurriedly asked, "What do you see below?" ”
Zhao Yang didn't sell it, his eyes looked directly at Xing Yunfu, who was full of surprise, and said with a smile: "I saw a dragon coffin!" ”
"Dragon coffin!"
"Dragon coffin!"
These two words made Chen Fuwang and Xing Yunfu's eyes widen in shock.
Even Chen Fuwang, who has just entered the industry, knows what the dragon coffin means.
In ancient times, who could be worthy of a 'dragon' except an emperor?
"The dragon coffin could not have been placed on the riverbed of an underground river for no reason! There must be some secret and connection with the Gate of Realm Transfiguration! Zhao Yang said with a determined expression.
Xing Yunfu nodded immediately, as if she also agreed with Zhao Yang's words.
"Wait a minute, I'll go down with you." Xing Yunfu looked at Zhao Yang again and said with a serious expression.
"Hmm" Zhao Yang nodded, if he wanted to go down and open the dragon coffin, Xing Yunfu's help would definitely be necessary.
And Xing Yunfu's water properties are also very good.
"Fuwang, you just stay on it and wait, if you ......"
Zhao Yang originally wanted to say that if there was any accident, let Chen Fuwang leave by himself, but after thinking about it, he swallowed this sentence back. Because if he had any accidents, it would be impossible for Chen Fuwang to get out alive alone, so this sentence can be completely saved.
"Young master, you must be careful!"
Chen Fuwang frowned deeply, and wanted to go down together to help, but Chen Fuwang was really not good at water, and he should know that if he followed, it would definitely be a mess.
"Don't worry!" Zhao Yang pretended to smile relaxedly, and then glanced at Xing Yunfu again and made a simple exchange.
Although the time with Xing Yunfu is not very long, and there is no tacit understanding at all, but this time it is very tacit, the two of them took a deep breath and plunged into the river together at the same time.
The two of them quickly passed through the brown blood stains floating on the surface of the blood river in the water, and then reached the bottom of the riverbed directly under the illumination of the Unbounded Demon Pupil.
The dragon coffin on the altar at the bottom of the river was firmly held in place by dozens of golden chains, but only fixed, not bound.
Zhao Yang and Xing Yunfu glanced at each other again, made a brief exchange with their eyes, and then began to try to push the coffin lid open at the same time.
Because the limit of normal people's breath-holding is more than a minute, there is no time to think carefully at all, in this case, everything must be decisive!
To Zhao Yang's surprise, the lid of the dragon coffin was not fixed in any way, and under the action of underwater buoyancy, the entire coffin lid was not as heavy as imagined.
Under the combined efforts of Zhao Yang and Xing Yunfu, the coffin of the dragon coffin was slowly pushed open.
Because the inside of the dragon coffin was vacuum, when a crack was pushed open, a river immediately poured into it, and a huge blister appeared.
Zhao Yang and Xing Yunfu worked hard and completely pushed the entire coffin lid open.
What's inside the dragon coffin?
There was nothing in the dragon coffin, but a huge black hole, and it seemed to be a bottomless black hole.
When the lid of the coffin is fully opened, it is as if a water valve has been opened, and the huge suction force forms a whirlpool.
"Not good!"
Zhao Yang secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
But it was too late, under the huge suction, Zhao Yang had no ability to resist at all, and was instantly swept into the whirlpool with Xing Yunfu and fell into the black hole in the dragon coffin......
Zhao Yang only felt that his eyes were dark, and the world was spinning, and the whole person seemed to have completely fallen into the endless abyss hell.
But the Unbounded Demon Pupil was still holding Zhao Yang's hand......
Is that the end of it?
Or is this the legendary 'Gate of Transfiguration'? Is it a gate to hell?
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yang's consciousness slowly recovered, and he felt light and fluttering, as if he had been lifted from behind, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the turquoise blue sky.
Zhao Yang turned his head tentatively again, and found that he was floating in the middle of a turquoise pool, surrounded by rolling mountains, and occasionally heard a few pleasant insect chirpings and bird calls between the mountains, with a bit of vitality.
"I'm dead?"
But it's not like hell at all.
Zhao Yang raised his arm again and looked at his left shoulder, the original large crimson death curse mark had disappeared, not even leaving any traces......
