Chapter 477: Cannibal Pomfret (1)
After hearing the movement between me and Wang Chuyi, Huzi and Qiye also came around, and both of them had more doorways than me for the doorway of the tomb mechanism.
Huzi put his ear on the outer wall of the coffin and listened for a while, and then said, "Damn, why do I always feel that this coffin is empty?" ”
"No, it will never be empty, if that were the case, the sound of this mechanism would be much louder than it is now." The Seventh Master retorted.
Wang Chuyi opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you say that there is a spring sealed in this coffin? And it's still a hot spring, hot. As he spoke, Wang Chuyi patted the lid of the coffin with his hand again.
This can stump us, it is said that most of the mechanisms in this ancient tomb are made of iron chains as conduction tools, it is a fact that there are organs in this coffin, but the temperature on the coffin lid also clearly tells us that there are high-temperature objects in it, in this environment, all I can think of is the underground hot spring spring.
But all this is incredible, if there is really a mechanism driven by iron chains, then how can it be soaked in water? In this way, with the flick of a finger for thousands of years, the iron chain has long been corroded, how can it still make a sound.
For a moment, all of us were confused, not knowing what kind of thing was hidden under this coffin.
Five or six hours is very slow, and fast is also very fast, and before we can study and understand, it has already reached the unitary time, and the seventh master stood up and began to prepare to open the coffin.
But when it was really time to open the coffin, we found that the position of the coffin lid was sealed with a layer of tamped glutinous rice and loess, and its degree of stickiness was far stronger than the general loess.
"Damn, why is this coffin so sturdy, it's different from the previous one!" As he spoke, Huzi tried hard to insert the blade of the saber into the gap in the coffin cover, and after many repeated attempts, he still failed to do so.
If we don't open the coffin within these two hours, we will have to wait another day, in this ancient tomb, the taste of waiting for one more day is very uncomfortable, the boundless darkness is always eroding our nerves, if we stay too long, any normal person will become crazy, foolish.
"Try it with wine, try it with wine! Fast. Wang Chuyi seemed to suddenly remember something, and shouted loudly, like a village shrew, almost hysterically shouting such a sentence.
The seventh master also reacted quickly, and after taking out a bottle of wine from his backpack, he handed it to Wang Chuyi.
I saw Wang Chuyi unscrew the wine bottle, and began to pour it in along the gap in the coffin lid, in fact, the wine could not be poured in at all, the gap in the coffin lid was sealed by glutinous rice and yellow mud, but as soon as the wine was poured up, it was quickly absorbed into it, but wherever the wine was poured out, the color would become very dark.
After about three or four minutes, Wang Chuyi took out his saber from his backpack with his backhand and thrust it into it along the place where the wine had been poured just now.
Under my stunned gaze, Wang Chuyi's saber was smoothly inserted into the crack of the coffin.
Seeing that this trick was effective, Huzi and I also hurriedly took out the wine from the backpack, and we will prepare one or two bottles of high liquor in the backpack, one is to ward off the cold, the other is to strengthen the courage, if you are really unlucky and injured, you can also use it for disinfection.
Anyway, after we poured the wine through the cracks of the coffin, the saber was smoothly inserted.
Huzi hurriedly turned out a special jack, resisted the handle of the saber, and then began to press the jack with both hands, and soon the jack lifted the lid of the coffin into a gap two fingers wide.
Before we could bend down to look at the things in the gap, we heard the sound of running water, and a stream of hot water rushed out of the crack in the coffin, and I was closest to the gap, and the hot water splashed almost all on the back of my hand, and I shivered and retreated.
"White Feather, how's it going? Are you okay? Wang Chuyi asked.
I borrowed the light of the flashlight, carefully looked at the back of my hand, although just a chance contact, the scalding was very painful, but the back of the hand did not blister because of the burn, I estimate that the water temperature here is about 50 degrees at most, not to be able to burn people directly, but the scalding is slightly red.
"It's okay, the water is okay, it's not particularly hot." As I spoke, I approached the coffin again.
At this time, the water flow is getting faster and faster, and the entire coffin cover, which hardly needs a jack, has been washed up by this huge flow of water, and the gap that was originally two fingers wide has now been washed to the thickness of an arm.
I leaned sideways, raised my flashlight and shone through the gap in the coffin that had been washed out by the water, trying to see what was going on, but found that the water was not clear, it was very turbid, and it showed an earthy yellow, as if there was a lot of yellow mud mixed in the water, and the smell was terrible.
"It's the brimstone, the brimstone of the ground, that has been washed out." Huzi shouted loudly.
Sulphur springs? The first thing that comes to mind is these three words, and these sulfur springs are usually created by magma in the earth's crust or volcanic eruptions.
Because after a volcano erupts, it becomes an extinct volcano that will not erupt again, but there is still magma under the earth's crust that has not cooled down, and hot gas will continue to rise. If the heat is concentrated and the aquifer rock formation has gaps, the heat will turn into hot water, and there will be steam, and sulfur springs will be formed.
The seventh master tested the temperature of the water and said, "It's hot, but it's not so bad that you get burned." ”
As I spoke, the lid of the coffin had been washed away by the water, and the whole coffin was like a square wellhead that was constantly gushing out of the spring, and the water was rising vigorously, and I looked down to see that the water under my feet was about to overflow the surface of my feet, but fortunately this stone chamber was large enough, otherwise soon, we would have been drowned in the spring water now.
At this moment, Huzi pointed to the coffin, raised the flashlight and said, "We have to go down, there must be a passage down here." ”
"Go down? Are you fucking crazy? If you don't get burned, you will drown! "I have the worst water quality, and when I heard Huzi say that I should go down from this coffin with spring water bubbling outward, I was a hundred unwilling in my heart.
"Although this stone chamber is large, at this rate, it will be filled sooner or later, and it will still be drowned when the time comes, I will go down to explore the way first, and if I find that it can't be done, I will come back, and I will have time to think about other things." As he spoke, Huzi put on his gloves, and a fierce man pierced into the coffin.
I hurriedly ran to the coffin, but because the water in the coffin was so muddy, I soon lost sight of the tiger, and only a square coffin with spring water still gushing out.
We waited at the coffin for about ten minutes, and by this time, the water in the stone chamber had overflowed my feet, almost to my ankles.
"This water is so muddy, Huzi can't find his way back, right?" I asked worriedly.
At this time, Wang Chuyi shook the climbing rope in his hand and said, "Don't worry, when Huzi goes down, the climbing rope has been fixed, he will definitely come back, wait patiently." ”
Before Wang Chuyi's words fell, he saw a splash of water, and the tiger suddenly jumped out of the sarcophagus, and then the whole person almost jumped out of the sarcophagus.
"Run! Come on! ”
As soon as the tiger jumped out of the sarcophagus, he turned around suddenly, wanting to run backwards, but before I could understand, I saw dozens of black shadows in the sarcophagus rushing out, the black shadow was about the size of a palm, and before I could see clearly, I only felt a sharp pain in my leg, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a black fish that had bitten on my calf.
"What the fuck is this fucking!" I exclaimed, and was about to turn around and run, only to see that the blood on my calf had spread into the water, and the other black fish seemed to be inspired, and all of them surrounded me.
"Quick, climb up!" Wang Chuyi pointed to the edge of the sarcophagus, although there was still water gushing outward, but after all, it was better than soaking my whole leg in the water, so I hurriedly climbed up without saying a word.
As soon as I stood on the edge of the sarcophagus, I saw that the black fish that had bitten on my leg was still writhing.
Seeing this situation, I was anxious and angry, and as soon as I copied out the seedling knife, I slashed at the fish, and as soon as the knife went down, the black fish was cut in half by me.
The body of the severed half of the fish fell into the water, which immediately caused a commotion, and the other black fish instantly surrounded it, and in less than ten seconds, the half of the fish body had been eaten without even bones.
"Find a way, quick!" Huzi shouted.
Qi Ye and Wang Chu reacted the fastest, and hurriedly took out their pistols and shot at the black fish in the water, because the black fish swam too fast, even if the seven masters and Wang Chu were extremely accurate, they only shot two or three.
The two or three black fish that were shot were eaten by other similar people almost instantly, taking advantage of this gap, I hurriedly gave the head of the black fish that bit on my calf* down, only to see that the mouth of this fish has spike-like teeth about half a centimeter long, which are deeply piercing into my flesh, and when I pull these spiky teeth out of my leg and stomach one by one, the blood has flowed down the ankle to the water below, those black fish smell blood, and they are all crazy to gather towards me, and a few have jumped up from the water and pounced on me.
Fortunately, my eyes were quick, and the Miao knife in my hand flew around, and with one knife down, I directly cut the two black fish into the water.
"Damn, why are there more and more black fish? How many more are down there? I yelled.
"There are many more, there is an iron fence below, as soon as the lid of this coffin is opened, the door of the iron fence is also opened, and the black fish outside will get in, it is estimated that there are at least a few hundred!" Huzi shot into the water with a gun in one hand, and slashed indiscriminately into the water with a saber in the other.
