Chapter 21: The Secret Path
There are obvious traces of prying on this sarcophagus, the outside of the sarcophagus, the sealing clay of the coffin lid has also fallen off a lot, I bent down and looked carefully around the sarcophagus, and sure enough, I found a footprint, this footprint is very deep, stepping on the sand and stone slab on the ground, and it is half a centimeter down, it should be too strong when prying the sarcophagus, and the center of gravity is used on the feet, so that it can be stepped on so deeply, it seems that the seventh master has opened this sarcophagus.
"How?"
At this time, my mind was all about examining the sarcophagus, and such a sentence came out of my ears coldly, so frightened that I jumped, and my shoulder hit Wang Chuyi's chin, and she staggered back two or three steps in a row, and finally, her back hit the wall of the tomb.
"Oops, it hurts..., I said you..." Before Wang Chuyi finished speaking, I felt the sarcophagus lid in front of me begin to shake violently, as if something was about to rush out of it, so frightened that I hurriedly took two or three steps back, and stood with Wang Chuyi.
"This coffin is covered in... Moving? Wang Chuyi didn't dare to blink and stared at the coffin in front of him and asked me.
I nodded in panic, not knowing what kind of monster would appear in this coffin, and I had already found the only remaining grenade in my right hand, thinking that as long as the coffin lid was opened, no matter what the hell was inside, I would throw a grenade into it first, even if it was a big white-haired rice dumpling, if it was blown up by this grenade, I would have to lie down obediently.
The lid of the sarcophagus vibrated for a moment, then began to open slowly, like a push-pull box, and the entire lid slid backwards.
My nervous heart almost rose to my throat, and my hand holding the grenade began to sweat.
The lid slid very slowly, and it took more than a minute to open a slit less than ten centimeters, and I clearly saw that there was light coming out of the crack in the open sarcophagus! Then the lid of the sarcophagus began to slide slowly.
Seeing this, I feel strange in my heart, this sarcophagus lid, to say the least, has to have five or six hundred catties, look at the traces on it, just now the seventh master they just pried the lid of this sarcophagus, it should have taken a lot of effort, why is it so easy to open it now, and why is there light inside? Could it be that there is a treasure like a night pearl in it? So he put the grenade back in his bag.
At this time, Wang Chuyi took two steps forward curiously, wanting to see what was inside this sarcophagus, and just as her body left the wall, I noticed that a square brick of this wall had been smashed into it by the impact she had just hit, and I guessed that it should be the mechanism that opened the lid of this coffin.
Now my mind is full of images of gold and silver treasures, and I remember that when the pirates in the movie opened the treasure gate, there would be glittering treasures, but when I got closer, I found that the sarcophagus was empty! Inside the sarcophagus is a stone staircase that descends downward, the entrance to the staircase is small, about three meters wide below, and there are humanoid skull lamps at intervals on both sides!
This lamp is shaped like a human, the bottom is carved out of stone to the shape of a human figure, and above is a complete human skull, the top of the skull has been dug a hole, and there is an oil lamp the size of a tea cup in it, which has now been lit, and the light shines out from the eye sockets and mouth of this skull, and the two rows of humanoid skull lamps are all lit, and the whole tunnel goes deep into the ground, which looks like a stairway to hell, which is creepy.
I looked at the bottomless staircase and said, "I'll wipe it, the owner of this tomb is enough to damage it, how many people do you have to kill?" ”
Looking at this tomb, Wang Chuyi and I have made a difficulty, now in this situation, the physical objects we store are very limited, the flashlight is also gone, there are only a dozen torches left, and now if you think about going to the main tomb to steal the artifact, it is a life to take the life of the deal, and the most important thing now is to think about how to get out alive is the right thing.
But the tomb in front of us is going down, if you go in, it must be farther and farther away from the ground, the further you go, the less hope you can expect to get out, but if you don't go in, this whole tomb is so big, the only way to go back is the rock crevice behind us, but there is a big tree that sucks human blood waiting for us.
Now that I was in a dilemma, I looked at Wang Chuyi, "What do you think?" Is it a crevice to retreat? Or go down to find the Seventh Master and them? ”
Wang Chu looked at the rock crevice behind him, and then looked at the tomb road in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and seemed to be unable to make up his mind, looked up at me and said, "What do you think?" Shall we go down, or shall we go back? ”
I checked my equipment, there were still two more magazines for the assault gun, plus a grenade, and the rest was the pistol that I and the Seventh Master brought when they came in, and the bullets were still rich, I walked to the edge of the rock, leaned out and looked inside, and said, "Even if we go back now, we will be lucky enough to kill the vampire tree, and we will not be able to get out, the way in has been blocked, why don't we go down and see what is there, even if we die here, we will die clearly." ”
Wang Chu nodded in agreement, looking at the expression on her face, it seemed as ugly as going to the execution ground.
The two of us entered the tomb one after the other, just walked a dozen steps, I felt that the feet were suddenly empty, lost the focus point, looked down and saw that the steps under my feet were actually stepped on by me, almost the moment I stepped down, I heard a rumbling sound behind me and remembered, the coffin actually fell again, and the coffin lid began to close slowly.
Seeing this, Wang Chuyi and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly, anyway, I didn't think about going out from here again, just let him go away.
At this time, Wang Chuyi quietly walked beside me, stretched out his hand and grabbed my hand, "I can't imagine that the last man to die together is you." ”
Growing so big, it's the first time I've held hands with a girl, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation, I feel a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed, I want to find a topic, but I can't find it, and then I found that her hair that she was holding is now a little scattered, so I reminded her.
She stretched out her hand to untie the hairband and prepare to pull it up again, but the moment she untied the hairband, the inky black hair went straight to her waist, looking at her cold eyes, a rare female perseverance between her eyebrows was displayed, and her body loomed with an ethereal and cold and arrogant temperament, which made me look a little distracted for a while.
Wang Chuyi seemed to see my predicament, and after pulling my hair again, he patted me on the shoulder and smiled at me, "What? Don't tell me you're still a chick. "This picture changes so quickly that people will say that a woman has a needle in her heart, and I now seriously suspect that she was ghosted when she held my hand just now.
"Cut, Lao Tzu is a beautiful man among thousands of flowers, don't talk to me there, be careful of stepping on any traps."
As we spoke, we continued to walk down, and slowly felt a cold damp coming from below, and looked down at the steps below to see that some plants that seemed to be mosses began to appear! I bent down and touched it, and it was really moss.
"How can there be moss under this dry Gobi Desert?"
