Chapter 26: Whispers in the Coffin
A butt slipped down, this Xihe is really not a thing, maybe the way used is wrong, slid to the bottom, my ass is grinding and smoking. Fortunately, I was relieved that the sharp rock, which was more than ten centimeters away from me, did not fall.
There are more than 50 meters from the top to the end, and the sliding stone surface is even more uneven, maybe I used too much force, I couldn't step on the brakes, and I fell on all fours.
I got up slowly, patted the black mud off my body, and Xihe threw me a short knife, and by then, I was suspended by them, and my equipment had already been looted. Fortunately, I didn't have anything important on me, except for some dry food and military equipment.
Nishiwa said to me, "With this knife, maybe it will come in handy." β
I just nodded and accepted his kindness.
I looked down the slope, it was strange here, there was a canyon under the slope, looking around, it was dark, and from time to time it was eerie.
In the distance, I looked through the light, and there were several steep stone pillars piled up in front of me, but the surface of these stone pillars showed large and small holes, I don't know how they evolved, anyway, they have been around a little bit old.
Sihe touched his body, and he called Tashi and Tuba to walk ahead, bypassing the stone pillar, which was even more wet, with a burst of moisture.
There are two circular openings inside, the entrance is more than 3 meters tall and about 2 meters wide, and they are distributed on the left and right sides of the stone wall.
Natuba was about to step forward, but was dragged back by Xihe.
"Commander Xihe, what's going on?" The sudden move also surprised Tuba greatly.
Xihe frowned and said, "That's a quagmire!" If I hadn't pulled you, you would have been trapped in it. β
Tuba's face sank, and he turned to look at the ground in front of him.
Not to mention, Naxi and his eyes are really vicious, the ground below seems to be very ordinary, just some earth, sand and stone surfaces, but if you touch it lightly with your hand, the ground is extremely soft, and it feels like there is no support.
I was puzzled and asked, "Xihe, what now?" β
Xihe looked at the sky above the stone wall, and said, "If I guess correctly, there may be ropes hidden in the cracks in the stone wall at the top of this." β
Everyone was shocked.
Xihe nudged the stone pillar behind him, and then called to Tuba and went up from the side.
Well, I'm a little confused in my head, and I don't know what Xihe is up to.
Xihe was more skilled than I expected, and in three or two clicks, he climbed directly onto the pillar, and then he probed the top of the stone wall.
However, something unexpected happened, there was a rope at the top of the stone wall, but this rope really didn't notice it at first glance.
Looking through the white light, I realized what kind of rope this is, which is clearly human skin, which is human skin rope.
My eyes were rolling, because before that, I had already witnessed the yellow-haired guy being hung by a leather rope and dying, it was really terrifying.
Seeing this, Xihe said to me, "You guys, don't be stunned, hurry up and follow!" β
After that, I saw Xihe directly grasping the rope and drifting over, I saw that he was very relaxed, and it took a minute or two to reach the entrance of the cave.
I climbed the stone pillar, my legs still limp, and I felt a trace of fear in my heart.
"Hurry up, don't be clever here!" Kampot behind him reminded.
I really fucking want to fuck him, when is this going to be, I'm still going to be here to trick around.
Maybe because I am an outsider, the Naxi people are all on guard against me. I was out of options, gritted my teeth, and grabbed at the top of the human skin rope.
Whew-
As soon as I caught the rope, I also chuckled in my heart, thinking to myself, I'm afraid that this rope is not strong.
This delay could not be too much, and I was once again emboldened, and with all my might, I climbed over.
β¦β¦
Two minutes
We all went into the cave opening.
However, the entrance to the stone cave here is really intoxicating.
Walking inside, the two sides of the cave are still holes and stone walls, and the space inside is different, there is a stone pit inside, which is sunken in the mud.
But in the center of the stone pit, a wooden coffin has appeared, which is a large mahogany coffin.
I was stunned, thinking that something was not good, and that something might happen.
In the surrounding mud mounds, there are still some white bones piled up from time to time, all the white bones are scattered everywhere, and at the same time, there is a foul smell, this scene is extremely shocking to watch.
Tuba asked, "Commander Xihe, is this the Cave of the Dead?" β
Xihe frowned, and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, eighty percent is a dead man's ghost land." β
So, Xihe slowly stepped forward and turned his gaze to the large mahogany coffin in the center of the grotto.
It's really strange to say, you said that in the cave of the dead, there was a coffin, for a while, it was really confusing, and it was suspected that there were good things hidden in the coffin.
"Like the master of the evil sect," Tuba said with a squint.
"It doesn't matter what it is, since we're here, we have to try this water," Xihe shook his head and leaned forward again.
"Hey, heyβI'll do it first," Tuba was a little anxious.
"Wait!"
West and block road.
But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded, "Squeak-"
Everyone was shocked.
Listen in the direction of the sound......
"Inside the coffin?" My eyes widened and I wondered.
At this time, Xihe saw that my face turned pale with fright, and waved his hand at Tuba, "Bring the incense!" β
Incense is actually a unique weapon of the Naxi people, and although the fragrance smells light and pleasant, it can make you sleep in it at any time, and this is also their magic weapon.
Xihe touched it first, Tuba followed behind, and the two kept a distance of one meter one meter from each other.
Until, less than a meter away from the big mahogany coffin, suddenly, the big mahogany coffin shook.
I was even more frightened and took a few steps back, but Kexi and the others stopped at this time, bent over and squatted in place, staring at the coffin with their eyes.
But the coffin trembled more and more, and I was scared, and I didn't know what was hidden in the coffin.
Tuba stared at each other and said, "Could it be the living dead?" β
Xihe shook his head and said, "I think there may be no corpses inside, there may be ......."
Before Xihe could finish speaking, there was a sound of "squeak-" and I saw that the lid of the coffin, which was originally sealed, was directly overturned, flipped twice in the air, and fell on the dirt floor.
At this time, even Xi and Tuba both took a few steps back consciously.
As for me, I shrank behind Kampot and a few people, and then poked my head out and looked over.
