At the same time, there was a clicking sound from those coffins. Because of the irregular arrangement of the coffins, I could not tell the exact source of the sound, whether it came from one coffin or several coffins at the same time.

The sound sounded like something scratching at the coffin, and at the same time, another cry came out.

It suddenly occurred to me that when I listened to Lao Wei tell these things at the Sihai Hotel, he had mentioned that when he was digging the foundation and found these coffins, he heard a dry howl coming from the coffins, and there was also black gas coming out. Something weird and terrible happened.

I hurriedly ran two steps, caught up with Ma Yan, hugged him again, and whispered, "Professor Ma, did you hear a cry in the coffin?" It's dangerous here, let's take a look at the situation first......"

Ma Tan looked back at me with an incredible look, blinked again, and said, "Then I'm going to go and see ......."

I complained bitterly, and I thought that I would find Ma Jian to find a savior. I didn't expect this strange old man, I don't know if it is related to his profession, in my opinion, he is completely stunned, only caring about his curiosity, completely ignoring the danger.

Ma Tan broke free of me and took two steps forward.

At this time, from the cracks of those coffins, there was still a steady stream of black gas.

Fortunately, there is a lot of space underneath, and the black gas floats up and quickly disperses, so that it will not block our view.

As if he remembered something, Ma Jian took out two masks from the bag he was carrying and handed me one: "I don't know if this black gas is poisonous or not, you put this on." ”

I nodded, and said in my heart that it was okay, this old pedant was not completely stupid, and he still knew how to protect himself. But isn't that easy? If this black gas is poisonous, can you rely on this mask to block those poisonous gases?

I brought the mask over and found that it was still sealed in a plastic bag. I tore open the plastic bag and put it on. The masks are thick and a little damp.

The mask sealed the mouth and nose, and a smell of anger and anger rushed straight to the nose. I almost couldn't hold back my vomiting.

I reached out and was about to tear off the mask, but Ma Jian stopped me and said, "If you don't want to be poisoned, it's best not to take it off." Just bear with it and get used to it. ”

As he spoke, Ma Jian also put on his mask, made an OK gesture at me, turned around and continued to walk towards the coffins.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and wear a mask to follow Ma Tan while paying attention to the movements around me.

There were enough candles in the house, not as good as the electric lights, but enough for me to see everything around me.

Except for the eight coffins placed in the middle, nothing unusual was found.

When we got closer to the coffins, I noticed that they weren't the same size. There are seven of them, and one coffin is significantly larger than the other seven.

The other seven coffins, the coffins are very broken, the wood in many places has rotted, and there are many gaps in the coffins. Those black gases kept bubbling out along these gaps. But I feel

These black qi have become lighter and lighter, not as fierce as at the beginning.

And the largest coffin, the coffin is very new, and there are slight reflections in the candlelight. Relatively speaking, there were no obvious gaps in the coffin, and the black gas only rose faintly along the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin, far less dense than the other seven.

Seeing these eight coffins, plus listening to Lao Xiao and Lao Wei's narration, I can basically be sure that this should be the eight coffins that appeared below when the foundation was dug from Tianyou Square.

It's just that at that time, it was said that these eight coffins were all disposed of, and according to Lao Xiao, they were brought here by Wu Tianxiong again. I don't know what he meant.

When Ma Jian saw these coffins, he couldn't hide his disappointment and couldn't stop sighing.

I whispered to him what was wrong?

Ma Jian shook his head and said, "It's a pity. Although these ancient coffins are preliminarily judged to be only from the Qing Dynasty, the production techniques of these coffins are extremely special and of great academic value. Originally, there should have been a corresponding inscription on the coffin. It's a pity that after it was unearthed, it was all rotten, and now the source cannot be traced, and the value is not too big. ”

I pointed to the larger coffin: "The big one doesn't look like it's rotten." ”

At this time, there was a sudden "boom" sound in my ears. The cockroach that had just flown somewhere, appeared in mid-air and flew towards the large coffin.

Before we could see what was going on, the fireworm didn't know if it had lost its bearing, and plunged headlong into the lid of the coffin, making a thud.

Ma Tan was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly took out the glass bottle from his arms, and then took out something from his body and put it in the glass bottle, which I saw as a sanitary ball. Ma Tan closed the lid of the glass bottle and shook it up and down, and the sanitary ball burned all at once. Ma Tan opened the lid again, and pointed the mouth of the bottle towards the cockroach, as if he wanted to take the cockroach back.

Unexpectedly, his move had no effect, after the cockroach hit the coffin, its body bounced high, and it plunged down and hit the coffin board, with a loud sound.

Ma Yan was sweating profusely, and muttered: "What's the matter, this corpse oil ball has no effect......

The body of the cockroach is also strong enough, and after several impacts, it did not die. But he was exhausted and fell to the ground, his wings and thin feet wriggling incessantly.

Ma Jian hurriedly rushed over, picked up the cockroach and put it back in the glass bottle, and gritted his teeth in distress.

But after such a toss, Ma Jian and I focused all our attention on the largest coffin.

At this point, the two of us were standing next to the coffin. The coffin was dark and gloomy. At this time, the faint black gas no longer bubbled out, but there was a chill from the inside out.

Ma Tan took the flashlight I gave him this time, lit it and shone on the coffin, and his body almost leaned on the coffin to observe.

I looked around, trying to use the opportunity to find out if there was any other door. Here, after all, except for a few bites

The coffin, the person I was looking for, no one was there.

But at that moment, I suddenly heard a sound from the nearest coffin, as if something had struck the coffin inside.

Immediately afterward, the lid of the coffin began to shake violently.

Ma Tan was also frightened this time, and he took a few steps back, and the two of us stared at the strange coffin with four eyes.

The shaking of the lid of the coffin made the candle on top of the lid wobbly. But it's as if that little candle can hold down what's underneath. Despite the crumbling moments, it managed to keep the lid from being lifted. The lid of the coffin gradually subsided, and the sound was almost inaudible.

Ma Tan and I looked at each other and exhaled at the same time.

The thief's heart is not dead, and he is still eager to go up and study the coffin. Suddenly, I noticed that under the coffin, there was a black mass slowly wriggling. It's like crawling out of a coffin.

Since the lid of the coffin was left untouched, the thing actually opened a coffin board on the façade of the front of the coffin and crawled out of it.

The range of the candle light was limited, and I couldn't tell if it was a human or an animal, or something else.

I grabbed Ma Jian and signaled him to be careful.

Ma Jian noticed something strange and stopped.

"Quack Quack ......"

After the thing crawled out, it also stood up with a strange cry that was neither crying nor laughing.

From the moment we entered this enclosed space, except for the eight coffins, there were only two living creatures, me and Ma Yan. Something suddenly crawled out of the coffin, and let out a sudden strange scream, which made my scalp tingle instantly, and I couldn't help but scream.

When the thing stood up, I initially judged that the other party was not tall, and it looked like it was about 1.5 meters. He was hidden in a corner, unable to see his face clearly. But I could see a pair of his eyes, glowing a thief's green light.

This green light reminded me of the eye I had found when I was on the first floor. At that time, I also asked Liang Yue if there were cats here.

These are the eyes! He was the one who kept an eye on us from the shadows.

"Who are you?" My peachwood sword had long since been lost in the basement, and I didn't have any weapons in my hand, so I could only shout fiercely. As a result, I shouted out, only to realize that my voice was shaking.

The man's body moved, and he took a few steps forward, and now his whole body appeared in the candlelight. And Ma Tan, a stupid and bold old man, the flashlight also shone on one of the man's faces.

Now we saw it clearly, and a cold sweat suddenly appeared on our bodies, wrapped in the yin wind, and it was cold to the bones.

The strange man who is less than 1.5 meters old looks like a human but not a human, like a monkey but not a monkey. Except for the two arms, the rest of the place was covered with white hair, and the hairy monkey face, the thief's eyes stared at us deadly.

I noticed that the skin on his arms was a dead gray that didn't have a bit of life. It reminded me of the white miserable arm that was on my shoulder when I was at the top.

I met the monster's eyes for a moment, as if I had violated its taboo

。 It let out a low howl, shrunk and lunged at me.

I was excited, judging from the actions of this monster, it was very agile, much more agile than Chen Wanli's corpse. So it seems that peeping on the rooftop, and in the hallway, the arm that put it on my shoulder should have come from the monster in front of me.
