Chapter 518: Hanging Tomb

Wang Chuyi slowly stood up, looked around, obviously a little scared, this blood-sucking mosquito is small, fast flying, and the mouthparts carry mucus with anesthetic effect, when piercing into the human skin, there is no pain at all, when feeling uncomfortable, the mosquito has already sucked the blood and is ready to fly away.

I took out an insect-proof net hat and handed it to Wang Chuyi, and we continued to walk in the dense forest, and after about half an hour or so, there was no trace left by the tiger in the woods in front of us.

There are no traces of the branches being cut, the ground is very dry, there are no footprints, the surroundings are very quiet, although it is broad daylight, but an ominous sense of gloom slowly climbs into my heart, it is really quiet, I can still hear some birds and insects chirping before, and here, it seems to have entered another world, everything is quiet.

And the footprints of the tiger and the traces of the march have completely disappeared without a trace here.

I lowered my head and began to look around at the dirt, trying to see if there were any signs of human manipulation, if any, it was probably a hole made by the tigers.

After looking for a while, Wang Chuyi and I didn't find anything, we searched the ground within 100 meters in diameter, the soil here is soft, but there are no traces of human turning, in this soft soil to open a hole, the risk of collapse is very high.

"Could it be somewhere else? Huzi is not a good player at stealing holes, and will definitely choose a place with hard soil to avoid collapse. Wang Chuyi frowned and spoke.

I looked up and didn't find any traces of the tiger, as if a group of them had evaporated on the spot when they arrived here, and the theory put forward by Wang Chuyi did not hold up in my opinion, if the tiger wanted to find another place to open a thief hole, it should leave some traces of chopping branches.

Wang Chuyi and I continued to expand the scope of the search, and at this time I found that the grass on the ground was straight and straight, and there was no trace of being stepped on at all.

In the end, I turned back to the place where the traces of the tiger disappeared, and it happened that Wang Chuyi also came over.

"How? What did you find? ”

Wang Chuyi shook his head and said, "I searched all over and found nothing." ”

"Could it be that the tiger can fly? Otherwise, how could it suddenly disappear here? Thinking of this, I instinctively looked up, and suddenly I found that above our heads, there was a huge bird's nest, which was made of dead branches, and at first glance it looked like a magpie's nest, but it was much larger than a magpie's nest, the size of a mahjong table.

I wondered in my heart, why hadn't I seen such a big magpie nest before? Supposedly, something so conspicuous that I shouldn't have missed it.

Thinking about it, I took two steps forward, only to find that the leaves above my head covered the magpie's nest-like object tightly.

"Huzi can't climb up, right?" Wang Chuyi raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head.

"Now there is only this possibility, there must be one right thing in the sky, there is no trace of digging in the ground, then there is only a tree." I looked up, and the tree in front of me was as thick as four people hugging each other, and the canopy was extremely high, but fortunately, the magpie nest-like object was not too high, and with the equipment that Wang Chuyi and I had brought, we should be able to climb there.

Just do it, Wang Chuyi and I began to sort out the equipment and climb up, for climbing, Wang Chuyi is much better than me, she took out the grappling hook, one step ahead of me, and climbed up, and the speed of climbing is very fast, I can't catch up with her at all.

By the time she had reached the magpie's nest, I was still halfway up the branch.

As soon as Wang Chu threw the climbing rope downward, I grabbed the climbing rope and began to climb up, and when I climbed to the position of the magpie's nest, I found that the top of the magpie's nest was a very flat wooden slab.

I couldn't help frowning, such a plank, after decades of wind and rain, should have rotted a long time ago, why can this flat plank in front of me not rot for thousands of years?

When I reached out to touch the board, I found that the texture of the board was very hard, and the whole person stepped on it very smoothly.

"It's alive! This plank is alive! Wang Chuyi exclaimed in surprise and pointed to a branch on the left.

I turned to look and saw that many vines had grown on the branches, and these vines slowly came together to form this flat structure.

"Look, over there!" I stood on this flat plank, looked up, and found that there was a stone gate hanging in the air about a few dozen meters away from us! And by this time the stone door had been opened, revealing a gap large enough for a large and fat person to pass through.

"What's that? Dangling? Tomb door? ”

I saw the huge trees in front of me, the canopies of which were one after another, and at a glance, a winding path was faintly formed, and there was a kind of thick vines connecting between the trees, and these vines were intertwined, not to mention a person stepping on it, even if it was a car, it was not a big problem to drive through here.

"Let's go over and have a look."

I decided to go over and take a look, standing in my current position, looking up, the location of this stone gate, one is not against the mountain, the other is not next to the tree, it is as if it is hanging in the air, it is very strange.

When Wang Chuyi and I slowly approached the stone gate, we found that the stone gate was actually a square stone chamber independent of the mountain, the bottom was supported by inclined stone pillars, one end of the stone pillar was connected to the bottom of the stone chamber, and the other end was connected to the edge of the rock wall.

I unconsciously quickened my pace, according to the pile of documents given to me by Wang Chuyi, the ancient tomb here is called the Hanging Tomb, as for why it is called the Hanging Tomb, what kind of secrets are hidden in the Hanging Tomb, but there is no mention in the document.

Soon I came to the side of this stone gate, only to see a square stone tablet on the left and right of the stone gate, the left side is written "a fortune at first sight" and the right side is written "the world is peaceful", seeing these two stone tablets, I can't help but chuckle in my heart, instinctively have a bad premonition about this stone gate.

At this time, Wang Chuyi also frowned, and whispered, "When you get rich, the world is peaceful?" Isn't that the words written on the black and white impermanence hat? ”

I nodded, such a seemingly simple eight words, but appeared on the stone door at the entrance of the ancient tomb, unnaturally it made people think of danger, could it be that the tomb is buried in black and white impermanence? Although I knew that this black and white impermanence was just a thing in myths and legends, when I really arrived here, I was still very apprehensive in my heart, and I had a strong sense of rejection for this stone gate.

"Do you want to go in?" Wang Chuyi was obviously also a little scared.

"Enter." I stubbornly walked forward, and I couldn't help but scold the tiger for being bold, such a dangerous ancient tomb, the tiger dared to enter, when can this stinky problem be changed for the sake of the dead weapon.

After entering through the stone gate, there is a slender road, the ground is very wet, the moss covers almost the entire ground, and the soles of your feet feel soft when you step on it.

I couldn't help frowning, in this corridor, even the bluestone slabs were not paved, the ground was a mud structure, and a lot of moss had spread along the ground to the stone wall of the corridor.

As soon as Wang Chuyi turned on the flashlight, we began to walk forward along the road, which has some slopes, which are inclined upwards, although the slope is not large, but we can still feel it.

"Is it really a hanging tomb?" I asked in wonder, because through the previous observation in the canopy, this stone gate should be the top of the cliff, and there is nothing at the top, but this road in front of me can be built at an inclined upward level, which is very incredible.

"Lao Bai, look ahead."

I saw a person lying more than ten meters in front of us, that person was leaning against the rock wall, his body was in the middle of the road, and one hand was still covering his neck.

I cautiously walked over to the man, and saw a crossbow bolt stuck in the middle of the man's throat, and he was holding his neck tightly with his hand, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot before he died.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chu became nervous at first, and turned on his flashlight to look around, "Lao Bai, will there be an organ here?" ”

I stood up and took a closer look at the surrounding situation, the rock walls around the tunnel are naturally formed, and have not been artificially excavated, the ground is a wet and soft soil ground, and there is no bluestone slab.

"I don't think this guy was killed by a middleman, it looks like this guy was shot at close range with a crossbow arrow." I took a closer look at the wound on this person's neck, and the crossbow bolt did not penetrate his neck, so I can judge that the power of this crossbow is not great, but what makes me wonder the most is that this kind of special warfare mercenary who has experienced a hundred battles can be shot at close range so casually? Moreover, there was not a trace of a fight in the entire corridor, and it seemed that the mercenary did not resist when he was shot.

I rummaged through the materials on the mercenary's body, and found that the backpack was empty, and the guns and ammunition that I carried with me had been taken away, and even the sagile that I was wearing was gone. Could it be that in addition to Huzi and these mercenaries, there is another group of people and horses who have come to this hanging tomb?

If so, who are these people? What will be their purpose?
