Chapter 172: Poison
Although I reacted relatively quickly, I also inhaled a little bit of that smell, and at this moment, I felt dizzy.
The rest of the people don't know how, so they must not be much better.
I stared at the corpse inside the coffin, my face changed slightly, according to the surrounding environment, it is impossible if it is the poisonous gas generated by the decay reaction of the things inside the coffin.
The air around here is too dry, and in this high temperature and dryness, the corpses will quickly form dry corpses.
And the corpse inside this coffin is obviously in a dry state.
In this case, there should be no toxic gases, which means that the strange smell inside the coffin may be something that was originally placed at the time of burial.
If this gas is poisonous, then it is probably much more poisonous than the natural corruption journey, after all, there are only a few kinds of poisonous gases produced by corruption in the natural environment.
There is no way to compare with the toxins created by the special poison-making technology of ancient times.
While holding my breath, I subconsciously took two steps back.
I wasn't in the front of the line, and I was so quick that I was able to hold my breath almost instantly, so I was exhaling a very small amount of air.
It didn't hurt me too badly, just a little bit of breathlessness.
However, not everyone had such good luck, and among the few people in front of them, there were obviously some who were too late to react and inhaled a lot of this gas.
In 30 seconds, the few who held their breath more slowly were already foaming at the mouth, and the whole person collapsed to the ground with convulsions.
At this moment, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, their faces full of horror.
The toxicity was so strong that, according to rough estimates, they only took a few breaths before they became like this.
After holding his breath, the few closest people to here immediately dragged these people who fell to the ground and dragged them over.
Fortunately, the smell did not travel very far, and after only a few steps, I could not smell this peculiar smell.
By this time, everyone was relieved, and I carefully looked at the fainted men.
These people were foaming at the mouth, their whole bodies were purple, and their whole bodies were convulsed, obviously the poison was very violent, just this scene, I am afraid that the probability of these people surviving is not high.
After a slight count, there were six people who were recruited this time, and there were only 20 people who went down to the tomb this time, and nearly 1/3 of the people were wiped out at once.
Seeing their state, there is no way to move on.
But fortunately, it is not too deep now, and you can retreat a little at any time and move these people who have been poisoned to the bottom of the pit dug through the lower tomb.
The people above were not only there to keep watch, but also to pick up those who were injured under the tomb.
Li Xiaohu snorted in the hollow at the bottom, and then the team stationed on it reacted in an instant, and all the people stationed on it immediately came here.
After pulling a few ropes from above, and after tying the fainted people with the ropes, they immediately began to pull slowly towards them.
In less than five minutes or so, all six unconscious people were pulled to the top of the bunker.
I exhaled slowly, just in time for this moment to let the strange aroma that had just wafted out of the coffin dissipate into the distance.
Wait for the peculiar aroma to spread evenly in the space, and the toxicity will be diluted to a certain extent, before you can continue to walk into the tomb.
We waited at the bottom of the cave for about ten minutes, and after the smell had almost dissipated, we slowly continued along the path we had taken before.
There was a coffin in the burial chamber there, although I don't know what was in this coffin, because the moment I smelled the smell, the quick reaction had already retreated, and I didn't see what was in the coffin.
It is estimated that there are only a few people who can see what's inside the coffin, and only those six people who are a little slower to react.
But one thing is for sure, the funeral goods that can be placed in this coffin are absolutely valuable.
In ancient times, poisons were also quite valuable, and in everyday houses, as long as there was a small amount of arsenic or other common poisons placed in the pharmacy, when buying these poisons, they had to be registered with remarks.
In particular, some poisons that can kill people in an instant, these have a very low production capacity, and even the products that occur accidentally after the mixing of multiple poisons are very valuable.
If the contents of the coffin are not valuable, then they are not even worth the poison?
In this way, it is not worth it at all.
After a long time, we returned to the chamber again, and this time the peculiar smell was noticeably lighter, almost negligible.
I stared closely at the contents of the coffin, and I could clearly see that there were not too many funeral goods in the coffin at this moment, only one.
This thing is not too big, that is, half the size of a fist, lying in the lower abdomen of this dried corpse.
It was a sculpture, but it looked a little weird, it looked like a horse, but it had two heads, three tails and five legs.
The eyes are set with rubies, and even in our dim light, we can clearly see that the rubies are reflected transparently and smoothly.
The body of this sculpture is so fine that anyone can be amazed, and even every hair on the body can be seen clearly.
If it weren't for the fact that the animal sculpted was somewhat beyond reality, I am afraid that this kind of work carved thing could even give people the feeling of a living creature in such a dim environment.
Although this thing is not available on the market, I also clearly know that the value of this thing is absolutely high and terrifying.
Li Xiaohu smiled slightly, immediately put on gloves, and slowly stretched out his hand into the coffin.
The gloves worn by Li Xiaohu are unusually thick, with three or four layers, but I think this is very normal, after all, poisonous gas was found in this coffin before, and I am afraid that these surfaces are also smeared with poison.
If you touch it with your hands, you may be poisoned directly.
There are some highly toxic poisons that can also penetrate into the human body through skin contact, and can work in an instant, making people break their souls on the spot.
So be absolutely careful.
