Chapter 54. Bone Heap Mountain

Xiaoyu, named Yu Qiumin. However, most people only know that his (her) name is Xiaoyu.
The skin is a little dark and yellowish, the eyebrows are heavy, the eyes are not large, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are a little thin. Speaks in a low voice and is able to speak without speaking. She wears white clothes and white stretch high-top shoes all year round.
However, many expeditions know this person, because he or she is a well-known "bodyguard" in this industry.
No matter how dangerous the circumstances, he or she may not be able to guarantee the success of your expedition (tomb robbery and treasure hunting), but he or she will certainly ensure that you will come back alive.
Just two years ago, three large treasure hunting companies jointly went to a remote island in the western sea to hunt for treasure, and went to three ships with more than 100 people, but the three companies even wiped out the security team, and only the core person of the company that hired Xiao Yu was brought back by Xiao Yu.
Therefore, for this person, the rumors on the rivers and lakes are very godly.
He or she is said to be highly skilled in martial arts, has a natural instinct for danger, and has the ability to communicate with the undead.
But this is the one who is lying here angrily at this time, and he was accidentally rubbed on his chest by Sagir.
Professor Cheng picked up the black bead from the ground, didn't bother to observe it carefully for a while, stuffed it into his pocket, and then hurriedly observed Xiao Yu's situation.
Xiao Yu's chest rose and fell violently, and the sound of a broken bellows continued to come out of his throat. Fortunately, the voice gradually calmed down, her eyelids twitched a few times, and then slowly opened her eyes.
"How are you?" Professor Cheng hurriedly asked, and at the same time handed the water over.
Xiao Yu took the water, took a small sip, then closed his eyes again, and opened them again after a full thirty seconds.
She shook her head slightly, pointed to her mouth, and waved her hand.

"You're saying you can't speak now?" Professor Cheng asked.
Xiao Yu nodded slowly.
"Then let's find a way to go back first, we can come back here at any time......"
Professor Cheng suddenly changed her attitude, and it was clear that she had been persisting in moving forward.
Xiao Yu shook his head again and stretched out his finger to point ahead.
Sajir frowned and asked, "You mean to keep walking?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded, motioned for Sagil to help her up, and then, with Sajir holding her scythe with one hand and her sickle with the other, he walked forward for a while. There, the ground was covered with scratches.
"Is this- you drew it?" Professor Cheng made out the scratches on the ground, which could be vaguely seen to be the prototype of a charm.
Xiao Yu didn't respond to her, just pressed the mechanism of the sickle, and the end of the blade popped out, and continued to add a few more scratches between the scratches on the ground, so a complete spell formation was formed.
This formation is connected to the stone walls on both sides, and the front and back spans about three meters. The center has about one and a half meters of empty places.
Then, Xiao Yu pointed to the ground and made a sleeping position.
She herself lay on her side on the ground and closed her eyes.
Sagir and Professor Cheng looked at each other.
"What does Xiao Yu mean, it seems that this talisman array can ensure our safety, recover our strength first?" Sagir asked, not so sure.
"Anyway, let's take a break. I don't know what to expect. ”
Professor Cheng didn't say a word, and lay directly on the ground, next to Xiao Yu, and closed his eyes.

Sagir finally fell asleep at the end of the day.
After all, both physical, mental, and emotional were consumed a lot before. I slept through this night, and I don't know how long it took to wake up.
In fact, Sajir and Professor Cheng were both woken up by Xiao Yu.
After resting, Xiaoyu's voice could barely speak, but he spoke very hard, hoarse and low, mainly in the voice of air. It was a struggle to understand what she was saying.
Therefore, the communication between them still mainly relies on Professor Cheng and Sagir to speak, and Xiaoyu expresses whether it is possible or not.
After briefly replenishing their physical strength, they drank some water very economically, and the three of them continued to walk down the cave inward.
The cave was so long that the three of them walked for half an hour before they finally saw the exit.
Coming out of the exit, they found themselves at the top of a mountain.
Don't get me wrong, they're still in the middle of the mountain. Overhead, there was still a black cliff, and the surroundings were still dark and gloomy.
It's just that when you come out of the hole and shine a strong flashlight, there is a drop of dozens of meters, which is a slope.
This slope is made of countless white bones.
This is the "Mountain of Corpses".
Below the slope, there is a lake.
This is the "Sea of Blood".

"According to the book of secrets I found, in the tomb of King Xu, bones are like mountains, and blood is a sea. Thousands of heroic spirits protect the King of Xu, waiting for him to be reborn one day. ”
Professor Cheng stared at the layers of white bones under his feet, and his voice trembled a little: "I thought that was just an exaggerated description of the ancients. Now it seems that it is more than that. What a wicked thing is this King Xu? ”
Sagil also felt tightness in his chest and his heart beat faster at this time.
"You mean, these are the soldiers who buried the king with him?"
"Let's go down and see."
Professor Cheng soon found a "mountain road" under the irradiation of a flashlight.
"These bones, almost all of them are facing the direction we came in. It looked like they were scrambling to get to the exit, and they were all killed. Professor Cheng carefully stepped on the "human bone road" under his feet, and observed the posture analysis of these bones:
"Strangely, I didn't see any scars on any of the bones."
Sagir raised his eyebrows and asked, "The flesh on these bones has long been rotted away, isn't it normal to see the scars?" ”
"You see, most of these bones are still in a state of running away from the exit. So, they should have been killed in an instant while escaping. Methods that can kill people instantly, especially in the era of cold weapons, are mainly beheading, weapons piercing directly into the skull to destroy the brain, or piercing the heart. Either way, it's impossible not to hurt the bones. ”
Professor Cheng analyzed in a heavy tone: "Unless, they have the means that we don't know about modern science!" ”

Coming down from the mountain of corpses, the three of them looked back, and the piles of white bones were even more shocking and unsettling.
A few years ago, it was an oval-shaped pool with a diameter of 10 meters.
"The ancients did not distinguish between 'rivers, rivers, lakes, and seas'. So to this day, there are many places where the lake is called the sea, or the sea. I think this is the 'sea of blood' recorded in that secret book, right? ”
The three of them stood in front of the pool, looking at the black and thick liquid in the pool, and felt a strong depression in their hearts.
"These liquids are the ...... of the year The blood of the dead? ”
Sagir asked, looking at the liquid.
"Let's ignore that for now, let's go around and take a look."
Professor Cheng was already optimistic about the layout below on the top of the "Corpse Mountain", bypassing this "sea of blood", with two rows of tall stone pillars in front. In the stone pillar is a road paved with black stone, and after walking along the road for dozens of meters, there is a gate with a very complex structure in front.
The gate is closed.
The door is beautifully carved with patterns, and it is clear that the door is not made of one material. Visually, one is gray, one is black smooth, and one is matte black.
The three materials have different shapes, some are convex and some are concave, and the structure is very complicated. In the center of this door, there is a distinct, diamond-shaped void.
At this time, Professor Cheng took out the diamond-shaped black stone from his body.
"This, is the key to this tomb door?" Sagir asked in surprise.
"Why don't you try it?"
The corners of Professor Cheng's mouth rose, and he found the corresponding pattern in the diamond-shaped stone according to the pattern in the groove on the door, and stuffed the stone into the groove.

The gate was silent.
No, the professor was not frustrated, she first pressed it in, but there was no response; Then I pressed it again in the direction of up and down, but there was still no response; Then rotate to the left -
"Click......"
A mechanism sounded, and then the sound of "click" continued, and then "boom" a sound of staggered boulders, and the huge stone door in front of him slowly descended.
I don't know what mechanism worked, behind the stone door, in a huge space, on the surrounding walls, torches with the thickness of an inclined and protruding arm burned!
The flame of the torch illuminates the surroundings, and the wall behind the torch and the corresponding top are actually pieces of reflective material like a mirror, which makes the lighting effect of the fire several times greater!
"Hiss......"
Sajir took a breath.
In front of them, an incomparably luxurious palace appeared in front of the three of them.
