Chapter 22: The Fire Skull
Wang Chuyi shook his head and said that he didn't know, we went down more carefully, the steps below began to become slippery, and there was more and more moss, until finally, the steps were already covered with this kind of moss, and when I was wondering, I felt that the originally humid air suddenly began to become hot.
The flames in the skull lamps on the walls were rushing out of the sky, beyond the hollow above the skull's head, and I knew that everything abnormal in this tomb meant danger! After secretly screaming badly, he grabbed Wang Chuyi's hand and sped up his pace.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt that the skull lamps on both sides of the wall seemed to change, and the skulls that were originally facing the front of the tomb road had quietly shifted somewhat, and now I looked at it again, as if all the skulls were looking at the two of us.
I took two more steps forward, and found that the skull was turning in the direction we were walking, and whether I was walking forward or backward, the skeleton seemed to be staring at me all the time, staring at me creepy, and a chill ran from my hair to my heels.
"Let's go, it's too weird here."
"Look, over there, what's over there?"
I held Wang Chuyi's hand, and I could clearly feel her body trembling, as if she had been greatly frightened, and then looked up in the direction of her finger.
Not far away, many skeletons appeared in the walls on both sides of the tomb, but they had no heads, but they were burning with flames, and they were approaching us little by little.
"Holy shit! How can it be in the walls? I hurriedly reached out to touch the wall beside me, but as soon as my hand touched the wall, it was burned, and I quickly retracted my hand, the wall had been burned by the fire, and now the wall of the whole tomb was like a whole piece of glass, and those burning skeletons writhed in the glass-like wall, and I could feel that these skeletons seemed to be in great pain through the wall.
"What are you stunned about? Come on. As soon as Wang Chu saw that I was fascinated, he grabbed me and ran towards the depths of the tomb again.
While running, I looked carefully at the skeletons in the walls of the tomb, some of them were already very close to the wall, as if they were about to come out of the wall, my palms were sweating, this kind of scene was really weird, it was supposed to be a dark ancient tomb, but at this time it was brightly lit, it was too unreasonable.
"Bang!" There was a bang, and I turned my head to see that a burning skeleton had come to the edge of the wall, and was hitting the wall with its body, and the fire was burning more and more on it, and I could already hear the crackling sound, which was the sound of cracking the bones when the fire burned the bones, which made people feel uncomfortable to hear.
I saw that the skeleton hit more than a dozen times, and saw that the skeleton was about to fall apart, and the walls of the tomb did not show the slightest sign of cracking, it seemed that they should be trapped in the wall of the tomb and could not get out, and the tense nerves were relieved a lot.
At this moment, the flames on these skeletons began to become smaller, and the flames on some skeletons began to become very weak, and I suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem: "This is a fucking mechanism set up by the tomb owner, and the flames on this skeleton are slowly weakening, which means that the air in this tomb will be consumed by these flames, and at that time, we can only suffocate to death, hurry up!"
Soon, we came to the end of the tomb and found that it was a square pool, and the water in the pool was so muddy that we couldn't see what was inside.
"Is there no way?" Wang Chuyi asked me behind me.
I nodded in reply, and looked around the narrow graveyard to see that there was only a pool at the end of the narrow tomb that was no more than two meters wide, and nothing else.
"What should I do?" I was a little panicked, and turned my head to ask Wang Chuyi.
She leaned over and looked forward, probably seeing the muddy water in this pool, and frowned, "How can there be water here?" ”
I shook my head, and found that the skull lamps in front of me had become very faint, and it seemed that the air was about to be depleted, and by that time, I would have to suffocate here.
"Whatever is in this pool, we have to go down, otherwise we can only wait for death here."
"What if there's a man-eating python in there? Our guys can't do well in the water. Wang Chuyi asked.
Looking at this muddy pool, I thought to myself that since I am sure that the Seventh Master and they have already entered this tomb, and now they are nowhere to be seen, they must have left somewhere, and the only hope of leaving here in front of me is this pool, so I deduced that the Seventh Master and they should have entered the water.
Since this tomb can use the burning flame to consume air, it must be very well sealed, and the sarcophagus when you come in is naturally needless to say, after it is closed, the clay in the gap will definitely not be bad, and then look at the pool in front of you, I guess it is used to block the air, and there must be space at the other end of the pool!
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, and said to Wang Chuyi, "Listen to me, go into the water!" ”
Then take a sharp breath, a fierce son plunged into the water, only to feel the head was slammed, the whole head was a little confused, a sharp pain in the head, it took two or three seconds to react, dare to love this pool shallow to death, about one meter three or four looks, I plunged into it head-down, and hit the bottom of the pool, and now the calf is still exposed on the water.
I scolded the, and then I turned my body upward, and found that the pool was very knocking, it was a V-shape, and a wall hung down directly above it, which just split the pool in two, perfectly blocking the air.
After I got to the other end of the pool, I shouted at Wang Chuyi, "Come here, this pool is very shallow, be careful not to touch your head." ”
After a while, Wang Chuyi also got out of the pool, and saw that she was now soaking wet, and the original loose combat T-shirt was clinging to her body, only to find that her figure was even better than the model on TV.
Wang Chuyi wiped a handful of water from his face: "This pool is so shallow? ”
I nodded and said, "It shouldn't be so shallow, the steps were covered with moss when we came, and it should be that most of the tomb was filled with water when the tomb was built, maybe because of too much time, this water evaporated or seeped into the ground, which led to the current situation." ”
After crossing the pool, the space has become very dim, and only the light reflected in the pool can be seen clearly clearly, and the light is still gradually fading.
I touched my backpack and found that the situation had become very bad, our flashlight was completely dead, and the torches were all wet, and they would not be lit for a while, and now the only thing that could be lit was the windproof lighter I was carrying, and in this dark environment, there was no light source, so it was not much different from death.
"What to do? The torches were all wet. I pulled out my torch and shook it off.
At this moment, I vaguely heard the sound of something moving not far away. Click... Click... Click, it was still very rhythmic, and the sound was still moving towards us, and I couldn't help but tense my nerves again, and the miniature ram gun was already in my hand.
