Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Trick Lamp
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly swept through the circular structure of the underground palace, and the four of us couldn't help but shiver.
Huzi said, "Damn, how can there be wind in this underground palace?" ”
I carefully observed my surroundings, and in a place like this, if there is an anomaly, it must not be a good thing.
After waiting for about ten minutes, there was still no change in the dungeon, and just when we felt that there should be no accidents, there was a sudden crackling from the top of the dungeon...... It was a rhythmic sound, from flat to rapid, like a child's glass marble falling on the roof of the dungeon, and it was clearly the same sound I had heard in the doubtful mound.
The seventh master had a gloomy face, looked up and said, "This ancient tomb is the same as the tomb of the two devils, there is more than one floor, this hanging coffin in front of us, I'm afraid it's just a gatekeeper, I guess this is a family-style tomb." ”
Before the words of the seventh master fell, there was a gust of wind in the dungeon, and then there was a bright light overhead, I looked up, and it turned out that there were many lanterns hanging on the iron chains at the four corners of the coffin, and I don't know why they all lit up at once.
But the firelight should have been bright, but the light emitted by this lantern was dark yellow, with a halo, and the entire underground palace was shrouded in this dim halo, which looked very gloomy.
What was even more terrifying was that the coffin was illuminated by this dim light, and the color changed from that amber to bright red, as if the coffin was filled with blood and was about to flow out now.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but take a step back, this environment is too depressing, people are breathless, the lanterns that suddenly lit up, the gusts of wind blowing, and the burst of crackling sound on the top of the underground palace, are too weird, I can't help but think of the coffin in the doubtful tomb.
The tiger who has always been bold also had a gloomy face, and said in a low voice, "Look at this situation, I estimate that this hanging coffin is more troublesome than the Juyin coffin, let's not open it." ”
The seventh master hurriedly made a silent gesture to signal Huzi to be quiet, and then he heard some very trivial sounds, which could not be described at all, only felt creaking and a little buzzing.
At this time, the seventh master's eyes tightened, staring at the head of a gluttonous beast in the northeast corner of the coffin, stretched out his finger, and motioned for us to look up.
When I looked up, I found that there was a firefly lying on the head of the beast, which stopped there motionless and very quietly.
I said in my heart that most of these fireflies live in groups, and there are few lonely, how can there be a lonely one here? Could there be more fireflies still hiding in some corner of the neighborhood? So I raised the torch and shone the surroundings, but because the seventh master didn't let me make a sound, I didn't dare to move too much, so I could only tiptoe two steps, and finally because I was afraid that I would make a sound accidentally, I simply didn't take it, just waiting for the seventh master's next instructions.
At this moment, the firefly that was lying quietly on the head of the beast seemed to be stimulated by something, and flew towards a dark corner, and then I heard a snap, and the firefly seemed to hit something, and then the firelight flashed, and an oversized lantern lit up, this lantern was more than one person high, and below was a wooden shelf, and a human face was painted on the lantern above, and the eyes of the human face were very sharp, staring at the hanging coffin in the middle of the underground palace, as if he was spying on him.
At this time, three more fireflies flew out of nowhere, flying in the other three directions, and then, just like just now, three huge lanterns lit up, and human faces were also painted on the lanterns.
Seeing this, I can see that the fireflies here are different from the ones outside, as if they have been domesticated, they are hidden somewhere, and after hearing the sound, they will fly out and hit the ever-bright wick in this lantern.
I carefully observed the four huge floor lanterns, although these lanterns are painted with a human face, but the faces on these four lanterns are different, one of the lanterns is painted with an extremely angry woman's face, the eyes are very vicious, and a little disgusted, although the faces on these lanterns are different, but the eyes are staring at the hanging coffin in the middle.
From the eyes on the people's faces, it can be seen that these people seem to hate the people in the coffin very much, and looking at the way they are placed, it seems that these four faces are suppressing the things in the coffin, and the scene is very strange.
It is also strange to say, now there are so many lanterns lit up in this dungeon, but it still looks very dim, after the four huge lanterns are all lit, the entire dungeon is not only not illuminated brighter, but more and more dim.
The seventh master lowered his voice and said, "This fucking is all human skin lanterns, the faces on the lanterns are not painted, but tattooed when people are alive, if my guess is right, the small lanterns hanging on this chain are tattooed with a word, look at this formation, we have met a powerful murderer." ”
Wang Chu nodded, and the cold sweat on her forehead showed that she was very nervous now, "This is the corpse of the four kings, it seems that the person in this coffin is also a ruthless character who kills people without blinking an eye when he is alive." ”
I looked up, and sure enough, just as the seventh master guessed, the small lantern hanging on the chain had a dead word tattooed on the lower right.
At this time, Huzi's legs were already frightened, and he whispered to me, "I have seen it in the ancient books of the Seventh Master, this kind of lantern is very evil, and the fire shines through the human skin, not to mention how ...... it is."
Huzi was halfway through his words, and he was stuck in his throat, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead to his neck, and then he swallowed his saliva and pointed to the coffin with a nervous face.
When I looked back, I was shocked that the outermost layer of the coffin had begun to fall off like a blood-red paste. Smack... fell to the ground, and the four-cornered gluttonous beast lost its focus, and at the same time slipped down from the coffin, and together with the human skin lantern on the chain, it swung out, and staggered against the tomb wall.
I only heard a bang, and a golden silk nan wooden coffin fell in the middle of the jade disc.
The seventh master had already taken out the Miao knife from his backpack, staring at the coffin as if he was facing a great enemy.
Huzi and Wang Chuyi and I picked up the gun at the same time, aimed at the coffin, and thought that as long as there was movement, I would shoot.
But just when we were waiting, I only felt that the gun in my hand did not obey the call, my heart tightened, and before I could figure out what the situation was, I felt that my hand slipped, and the gun in my hand flew out, and then I heard the sound of "bell", and the gun was stuck to the chain, and when I looked back, it was not only my gun, but also the gun in Huzi and Wang Chu's hand.
I only heard Wang Chuyi whisper, "It's a strong magnet, this chain should be an alien metal!" ”
After my heart was finished, I saw that the lord in the coffin was about to come out, and I was preparing to fight for three hundred rounds, and the weapons in my hands were confiscated. See if he can let me go?
