Pei gave me a thumbs up, and the ice that had been buried in the coffin had now turned into water less than an inch deep, and a scroll resembling an animal skin was placed in the middle of the puddle.

I was just about to reach for it when the sound of a machine running sounded in my ears.

I rolled up my cuffs and scooped up the scroll from the puddle, which looked like it was made of animal leather like sheepskin. The scroll was densely covered with handwriting, but Li Zhen, who was quite accomplished in the study of ancient texts, could not understand what was recorded.

I simply stuffed it into my arms, and since the contents of this sarcophagus were already in my hands, there was no point in staying here, so we were ready to go to the upper floor to take a look.

"There seems to be a sound of mechanical movement just now, let's be careful." Before going up the stairs, Pei reminded everyone.

"What are you afraid of, buddy? Go your way, if you can't do it, I'll take the lead. "I don't know the depths of the tiger.

Tiger Zi stepped up the stairs to the upper floor first, and we followed closely behind Tiger Ass. The last time we encountered a space distortion in the staircase, we almost didn't kill everyone, but this time we followed closely. I didn't believe that the situation of the last time would be repeated, and with a bumpy mood, after the first turn, I saw the staircase.

After stepping into this floor, the indoor temperature is significantly better than the lower floor. This layer is smaller than the space below, after all, the bigger the tower is, the bigger it gets.

The corner of this floor is filled with boxy chests and some messy carvings of animal bones, and it looks like a burial chamber dedicated to funerary goods.

As soon as Huzi heard that this was a burial room, he strode over, and the saber in his hand was picked open with a wooden box lock in three or two clicks. After opening the wooden box, under the light of the candles, the gold and silver jewelry in the box shone brightly, and Huzi looked at the boxes of treasures, and his happy mouth was almost closed.

"Haha! Dude is going to soar now, do you think we are marrying four daughters-in-law? Or do you want to raise an eight-room aunt? "As long as there is something to be stuffed on the body, the tiger is full.

"Huzi is almost enough, how can you go back with that much." I persuaded that, after all, we would have to face the devilish desert when we returned. In the absence of camels, it is certainly impractical to bring so many things back.

"My buddy has good physical fitness, my buddy is risking his life, and he has to take all these back, after all, this is what my buddy bought with his life."

"If you want Huzi not to take these, you might as well kill him." Pei said with a smile.

"Huzi, it's almost enough, let's have a little awareness of protecting cultural relics." Li Zhen has been with us for so long, and he slowly discovered the hard work of doing our job.

Gradually, we turned a blind eye to the fact that we took some of the grave objects and other things. After all, these people are all on the knife edge, looking at the scenery on weekdays, spending a lot of money, but who knows the bitterness of digging graves in the ground.

And every time we travel, the equipment and materials to be prepared are also a big expense, we are not like those archaeological teams in other countries, everything is subsidized by the state. Looking at him, he seems to have slowly forgotten that he is a national scientific expeditioner, and has gradually adapted to the habits of us Tufuzi. Nine cakes in Chinese

"Li Zhen, you're okay, buddy, this is all in exchange for your life, it's not for nothing, you hurry up and empty your pockets, come and load some." Gold and silver ingots, pearl chains, and some jade stone plaques that I can't name, Huzi just stuffed Pei's backpack.

I rummaged through the chests, hoping for a fire rune more than the lure of the gold, silver, and jewelry. There were handfuls of gold ingots and bars in the box, and I turned them out of the box, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

Huzi saw that I had poured the gold, silver and jewelry upside down, and his eyes were so angry that his eyes were straight: "Miscellaneous drops, you are obviously a farmer who became rich overnight, what kind of second grandson do you pretend, you can't even look at gold bars?" ”

"Go! Go! Go! Busy with your business, don't shout. "I almost rummaged through some of the chests and couldn't find the Fire Rune.

"Click! Click! Click! "The mechanical noise I heard just now echoed around the entire burial chamber. Hearing the sound seem to come from the walls of the tomb, I thought to myself, "Oh no! There is a trap! Get down. ”

As soon as the voice fell, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "Hundreds of dark arrows shot out of the walls of the tomb in an instant. I lay on the ground and watched the dark arrows flying overhead, almost all between 1.4 and 1.8 meters in height.

At this distance, if a person stands upright, he will either be shot in the heart or in the head. It can be seen that the wisdom of the designer of the mechanism is not ordinary, although these dark arrows are old, but they can spark when shot on the stone wall, which shows that the power is quite large.

It took about a few minutes for calm to regain in the tomb, and the floor of the tomb was almost covered with a blanket of dark arrows. Looking at so many dark arrows on the ground, the tiger stared at it with wide eyes and said, "Mother, it's really dangerous, this is going to be shot, don't shoot it into a hedgehog." ”

"Fortunately, it was because of the aging of the mechanism that saved a few of our lives, this set of mechanisms had to be put aside hundreds of years ago, and the sound of the mechanism would not be so loud when it was running, and we would not be so easy to find." I sighed. "Get out of here, who knows if there will be any more mechanisms."

Looking at the dark arrows all over the ground, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid at this time, thanks to the master who once taught me the operation principles of some mechanisms. The sound of machinery running in the walls of the tomb just now exposed the problems in the walls.

Generally speaking, there are some high hidden arrows installed in the walls, because the traps in the tomb that can hide the height of the shot range will be hidden in the front.

The way to avoid it is to keep your body as low as possible. The hidden traps in the ground are usually shot directly from the ground, which the older generation called the ground thorns. To dodge this mechanism, you need to use the help of something hard like stone. In the burial chamber, people can hide on top of coffins, or some sturdy stone carvings, and they will not be injured.

Huzi carried heavy gold and silver jewelry, and it looked quite difficult to step on the wooden ladder and stagger. The wooden ladder creaked as if it might collapse at any moment, and I told Huzi to let him put the big bag here first, and we had to come down anyway.

When you come back, you just have to hold it, and carrying it on your back is in the way, and it's not easy to move. At first, Huzi didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it, what I said made sense, and put a large backpack full of gold, silver and jewelry at the corner of the stairs.

As we ascended the stairs, we were greeted by the sixth floor of the burial chamber, which was neatly filled with dried corpses that had shrunk badly. There were six bodies horizontally, six vertically, and a saber next to each corpse.

The clothes on the corpse's body were almost rotten, but they could still be distinguished, and they were the same as the guards we had seen last night. I looked at the corpses closely, and they all looked like they had died in the prime of their youth.

But these thirty-six corpses, if it is said that they died of natural diseases, it is a little too strange. After rummaging around, I couldn't find any fatal wounds, and strangely, the corpses didn't find any wounds on their bodies. That would rule out dying in war, but such a high tower burial form can only be matched by some heroic figures.
