Chapter 108: The Sand King
In the early morning of winter, it is always very late, and while we eat the breakfast made by the guys, we stuff corn cakes into our backpacks, and we feel like we are eating in a bowl and looking into the pot.
This is dry food, and I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare, this time I don't know how long it will take to go out, the soldiers must not go hungry, fortunately it is by the lake, do not have to worry about the problem of water.
The moon reluctantly gave up the sky to the sun, and the earth illuminated by a touch of vermilion in the east.
It's finally dawn!
And the soldiers are already ready to go, just waiting for my order to start the great cause of tomb robbing! Daniel Zhang yellow rat looked very nervous and excited today, after all, no matter how much they talked, in fact, they were the same as the soldiers, and they were the first time that the big girl went to the sedan chair for the tomb robbery.
We didn't choose to ride a horse, because horses slip easily on the ice and cross the lake, which is not far away, and I took the lead and shouted, go!
Immediately the yellow rat was in the middle, and Daniel Zhang was at the end, pulling out a long black line on the white ice.
We had prepared well in advance, and we brought the torches with us, which was enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies. Behind me were the top 100 soldiers in the recruit assessment, and the first one was Shen Rui, that is, the captain-level officer who took everyone back to Miyun that night.
This kid is a simple and humble man, upright and obedient to orders, I intend to accept him as a personal soldier, anyway, it is still far from the entrance of the cave, so there is no match to chat.
"Xiao Rui, are you married?"
One of the good things about him is that he never asks why, he always says, 'No, do what you say, and you will do it.'" And so on and so forth.
Usually, he doesn't talk much.
"Commander Qiqi, no."
I nodded and continued, "Is there anyone else in your family?" ”
"Nope."
"You're the only one left?"
"Yes."
"What do you plan to do in the future?"
"No intentions."
......
I have to say that this kid is a good hand at fighting and robbing tombs, but this problem of speaking has to be changed.
"Why are you like a yam egg, jumping one by one? In this way, in the future, you can come to be my personal soldier, you don't have to do anything, just follow me. ”
"No."
.......
Listening to his answer, I suddenly remembered a joke that the yellow mouse once said to me, saying that I chatted with Wei He after Yunyu that night, and asked her, why did you cheat that day, Wei Tao is not good to you?
Wei He replied that Wei Tao always likes to talk to death.
After hearing this, I laughed for several days, and even spread it among the brothers in a very inauthentic way, well, this matter instantly became a laughing stock for months, and the weasel lost his temper with me for this.
Today, I also experienced it once, this Shen Rui is the kind of person who inadvertently talks about the sky to death.
The long procession was on the frozen lake, and at first I was worried that the ice was not thick enough, but then I dared to do so.
Finally, half an hour later, I came to the waterfall last time, and suddenly remembered that there was a holy beast like a saber-toothed sheep tiger around this tomb, and I inevitably felt a little uneasy in my heart, but now the snow covers the mountain, and it should not come out.
Even if they come out, they are not afraid, these three thousand brothers are no longer fledglings, and after months of hard training, they have a qualitative change as an ordinary shepherd, and the weapons in their hands are also used like fire, if they dare to come, then this year's annual meeting, there will be a good tiger skin sent to the capital.
The waterfall had frozen, and a long curtain had hung over the ridge, and it was so beautiful that I turned around and walked like the shore, where was the gap between the waterfall and the mountain, just enough for us to pass through.
The scenery here is also different from when I came before, it was still late autumn, and there were still a few yellow leaves hanging on the trees, and now they are like rotten wood.
Having successfully reached the entrance of the cave, I ordered the whole army to halt its advance and prepare the torches.
From now on, everything must be done with caution, I am the commander of 3,000 soldiers, and there must be no mistakes, and only 50 of the 100 soldiers behind me have torches lit in their hands.
If I asked for this, the torches were limited, and the tomb needed to be lit inside and out, so the front fifty torches were lit one by one person, which was both illuminated and economical.
Yellow Squirrel and Daniel Zhang also walked a few steps quickly to come to me, they were going to enter the tomb, and they couldn't eat ready-made food outside.
Daniel Zhang was better, and the yellow rat's excitement never stopped, and he took my hand and said.
"Xiao Lin, this is the cemetery, right?! I don't look like anything special! ”
"Don't take it lightly, carelessness in the tomb will pay the price, I will lead the front, you are optimistic about the soldiers, follow me!"
I ignored the weasels' gossip, took Shen Rui's torch in my hand, and walked ahead first, this place is no different from the last time I came, the only difference is that half of the small river in the middle of the two banks is frozen, and the other half is still in a state of flowing water, it seems that this river is running horizontally towards the tomb.
With torch lighting, it is much more convenient, and I can see things that I didn't see last time, for example, there are a lot of words on the polished walls on my side that I can't read, and there are some special symbols, I don't understand what it means for the time being, and I don't have a literate person in my team.
As I walked, I saw the strange corpse lying there last time, and the clothes had rotted to ashes, and I didn't know how many hundred years I had been here, so I squatted down and planned to take a closer look.
I saw that the bones were very well preserved, and there were no obvious external injuries, and the bones were all pieces without any inappropriateness.
Could it be poison gas?
I shook my head, the air here is very smooth, even if the poisonous gas was back then, it would have been released long ago after more than a thousand years. Besides, one of us had a poison mask in our bag, which I specially ordered the blacksmiths to make, and it was my Tomb Sect artifact.
After watching it for a long time, he couldn't see a reason, so he ordered Shen Rui behind him to wrap up the bones and take them away when we went out, and bury them well, which can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue for us tomb robbers.
It may not be useful, but it is a psychological comfort.
Walking further along the tomb road, I found that it was much longer than I had imagined, and I had not reached the end of a quarter of an hour, and I could not see my fingers except for the place where the torch was lit.
The team is long on this narrow cemetery, and the five hundred reinforcements are all in place, waiting for us to guard here after we enter the fight.
Suddenly!
I suddenly felt a large water stain dripping from the top of my head! I can't help but wonder that even if there is a lot of moisture here, it should be a drop of water, not a large patch, and it feels like someone is gently pouring water on your head with a basin.
And the weasel behind me saw that the top of my brain was wet, and joked: ", Xiaolin, you're going to pee with your head now!?" ”
I quickly motioned for him to stop talking! There's definitely something wrong with this water! I slowly tried to reach out and touch it, and suddenly it felt slimy, some like water, and some... Like Harazi!
Thinking of Harazi, I quickly raised the torch in my hand and looked up! Looking at this, I can't help but blow up my whole body! I saw a huge golden face standing above my head!
This person's face is very weird, his nostrils are very large, and his face that can't see his eyes clearly seems to be sneering! There are obvious golden fangs in the mouth, long stretching outward, and even snoring and panting,
It's ridiculous that I thought it was the white-haired wind in the cave just now, but I didn't expect it to be it!
And that's what came out of his mouth! When the yellow squirrel and Daniel Zhang saw it, their scalps exploded instantly, and they shouted, "Sleep!" What is this!? ”
I quickly slapped him, but it was too late, and the seemingly sleeping face opened his eyes after he exclaimed! As soon as he opened it, I realized that this thing actually had eyes as big as eight small lanterns!
Green glowing! Seems to be very unhappy with the fact that we disturbed its sleep!
I made a quick decision and shouted!
"Array up to meet the enemy!"
In an instant, a hundred soldiers behind me were holding daggers and long knives, waiting for the attack of unknown objects as if they were facing a great enemy.
But the tomb road is only so long, and it is very narrow, and there is a small river next to it, and if you fall into it in this winter, you will have calf cramps instantly.
Array array, how to array without a field!? I pulled the yellow squirrel and Daniel Zhang violently, only to hear the 'rumbling' mountain trembling sound, and the huge golden face also began to move, his face was a little angry, lurking on the cliff wall and suddenly opened his mouth and spat a lot of blue liquid!
I shouted! "Be careful! Get out of the way! ”
But it's too late, although these soldiers train hard, when have they ever seen this kind of battle, and a few soldiers not far behind me were coldly vomited by him!
I don't know what the liquid is, and after it is poured on the person's body, it makes a sound of 'bang-la-la'.
Daniel Zhang shouted sadly when he saw this! "It's a strong acid!"
I saw that the three soldiers were drenched and only spoken! It evaporated in an instant, leaving only a pile of white bones, unable to stand, and falling towards the river!
And Shen Rui beside me, his eyes were red when he saw this! Tearing your neck and yelling!
"Changhai! Xinrong, two pillars! ”
After all, he was about to jump into the river with one lunge! Daniel Zhang's hands were quick and quickly stepped forward to grab him! This kid was stimulated by the tragic death of his companion, and the body held by Daniel Zhang actually took out the dagger in his hand and turned around and stabbed towards the giant face!
Which big face seems to be slow to react, maybe he didn't expect him to resist. This time, he was pierced by Shen Rui, and he directly pierced one eye! But strangely, it didn't bleed, it just let out a terrible scream, and then the 'boom' sound became louder and louder!
This voice came to the back, alarming many soldiers, all of them wanted to step forward bravely to help, I asked the weasel to give an order to stop them, no matter how many people came to such a narrow tomb, it was in vain, and only the strength of a few of us could deal with it.
And the 'boom' sound has gradually disappeared with the vibration of the giant face, and I saw that the situation was not good, so I quickly shouted!
"Dodge!"
As I finished speaking, a huge reptile sprang down the cliff and rushed straight into the river, making a big splash with a 'poof'.
The yellow squirrel came to me and asked eagerly, "Xiao Lin! See what it is!? ”
I shook my head, "No, but it's definitely not a good one, let the brothers prepare, copy the guy and kill it!" ”
I know that this thing will come back if it doesn't strike a blow, predators have such determination and habits, and the hundred and ten people of our front team stood in a row on the graveyard, with steel knives in hand, waiting for the monster to appear!
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement!
Daniel Zhang pulled my sleeve, "Xiao Lin, if it doesn't work, let's speed up and don't mess with it." ”
I waved my hand, "No, this thing will definitely come back, we went in, the remaining brothers will be wiped out if they don't command, listen to me, just wait here!" ”
At this moment, more than one shouted, "It's on the other side!" ”
After hearing this, we all raised our torches and looked at the opposite side, and this time we saw clearly! Lying on the opposite wall was a huge black and red scorpion!
That is, the ancient divine beast depicted in "The Secret Art of Lotu"! Sand King!
The beast had twelve legs, eight eyes, and was about ten feet long, black and red! In the first section, the two huge pincers are still waving and provoking us! The armor that is like a piece of iron all over the body is invulnerable!
What's even more terrifying and weird is that he actually wears a golden human face mask on his head! This thing, even if you send ten saber-toothed sheep tigers, you can't beat it!
Careless! Still careless!
I originally thought that the saber-toothed sheep tiger on the mountain was a tomb guardian spirit animal, but now it seems that I am very wrong, this sand king is the main master! He's so much more ferocious than the tiger!
