The two giant rats ducked to the side and stood up against the corner of the wall. Turn your head to look at me for a moment. After a while, he looked at the old man on the stone platform.

I frowned and stared at the old man. Listen with your ears up. I watched for a while. It was found that not only did he not even have normal people's breathing fluctuations. Not even the sound of breathing.

I heard that some people will not rot after death. However, there is usually a certain degree of darkening of the skin.

Therefore. I'm guessing. It is very likely that the old man has been dead for a long time. The clothes on his body have turned to dust with the years. But his body was well preserved.

I don't know how these giant rats found this place. I can't even think of what they brought me to this place for.

I stepped forward cautiously. Then take a closer look at the light of the torches. It was found that the old man was not only very emaciated. It's no different from ordinary people. There is not the slightest darkening of the skin.

"Seniors. Offended. ”

I bowed three times to the old man. After getting up, he slowly stretched out his hand. I touched the copper box. Carefully picked it up.

But at this moment. The flames on the torches flickered suddenly. It was as if a gust of wind was blowing.

The old man suddenly raised his head sharply. Open your eyes. But there is no eyeball. He only looked at me with those dark eyes.

I was taken aback. Hurriedly retreated. Holding a copper box. Vigilantly watching the old man's movements. At the same time, I prayed secretly in my heart. I hope this guy isn't a thousand-year-old zongzi.

The old man did not get up. There was no movement either. Just look at me with their eyes. And the skin on his body was shrinking rapidly as if it was dehydrated. It's getting more and more shriveled.

That's a few minutes. The old man turned into a pile of dry bones in front of me. Scattered on the stone platform.

It was hard for people to save their bodies and spend a long time. but it was destroyed in an instant by my visit. This made me feel very upset.

I bowed down to the old man's bones three more times. Apologize in a low voice. to express my apologies.

After getting up. I held up the copper box. Take a closer look at it right in front of your eyes.

The box is very well preserved. There is only a small amount of blue-green patina on it. It looks like a shoddy imitation of an antique.

The box is embossed with sword-shaped moire around it. The front is embossed with a long dragon wandering among the clouds. Frontal display. Teeth and claws. It looks very vicious. But the workmanship is not exquisite. It even looks a little rough. It is indeed close to the rugged style of the Yuan Dynasty.

I want to open the copper box and see what's inside. But I looked for a long time. Not only did I not see the lock. Not even a single crack was to be seen.

If it weren't for the relatively light weight of this copper box. I doubt it's just a solid piece of copper.

Just as I frowned and studied the copper box. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting loudly. But because the distance is too far. I'm at the end of this labyrinthine passage again. Even though I'm a keen hearing. The content of the shouts was also unrecognizable.

The two giant rats must have heard that sound as well. The body shook. Landing on the front foot. Run to my side. "Squeak" at me. As if urging me to hurry up and let them go.

I nodded. Say to the two giant rats, "I've left a mark." You can go out on your own. Or...... Never mind. Don't scream. None of us can understand what anyone says. ”

Two giant rats began to show me the way. This time, I was confident and bold to follow them. Ran for a while. Finally left the cave.

The two of them fumbled around the corner for a while. With a crisp sound of "click", it came. The cave was sealed with falling stone slabs. Perfectly hidden.

If it weren't for them. I guess I can't find this place because I'm tired.

Stand in this open place. I want to hear that shouting again. But nothing but silence was gained.

It couldn't have been my delusion or auditory hallucination.

That's what I'm thinking. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting "Fifth Brother".

Because the echo causes the original sound to change. I couldn't tell who was calling me by the sound. But with the word "fifth brother". I can be sure. It must have been one of my brothers who came in.

I want to look for it. But the two giant rats bit the cuffs of their pants and restricted their movements.

I'd like to explain a few words. It's useless to think about how to explain it. I have no choice but to give up. I put down the copper box and torches. Place your hands on either side of your mouth as a megaphone. Respond loudly: "I'm here." I am here. ”

The two giant rats didn't know what I meant. Still mad at me. Finally let go of my trouser legs. As soon as the smoke slipped, he disappeared.

I hurriedly picked up the torch and the copper box. Listen to the sound and walk in place.

Finally. After half an hour. At the same place where I climbed down. I saw Shen Dali.

Maybe it's because I'm wearing a tweed coat and carrying a wrap on my back is too unusual. Shen Dali didn't recognize me at first. I almost rushed over and fought with me.

When he recognizes me. He turned his fists into open arms. They picked me up.

"Fifth brother. You didn't die. Great......"

I was almost strangled by him. Hurriedly shoved him and said, "Release me." Otherwise, I'll be dead in a moment. ”

Shen Dali is as his name suggests. It's powerful.

"That's right. What about others. "I looked left and right. I only saw Shen Dali. Immediately nervous.

Shen Dali pointed above and said, "This place is too high. I don't feel at ease when others come down. I came down on my own. ”

I nodded. Busy asked, "How are the others?" ”

Shen Dali hurriedly replied, "Zhang Yi is injured. Yang Qing took care of him in the steel plate room. Leng Yue is gone. Liu Fatzi and Yaya are waiting on it. ”

After speaking. He seemed to remember something. He raised his head and shouted at the top: "Fifth brother is fine." I found him. ”

Fat Liu's voice quickly came down from above: "Get it quickly." Let me be close and close. Damn it. It's only been a day. I think I've lost weight as much as the fifth brother thinks. ”

Shen Dali responded. You're going to tie me to a climbing rope. Stopped by me.

"There's something strange about this place. I didn't have any tools before. I just wanted to find a way. Now you're down. Looks like he's got something going on. Let's take a look at this place. Let's see if the ancient tomb they said is here. But. Until then. Tell me a little about what happened to you. After I left. What did you guys encounter. Why haven't you left? How did Zhang Yi get hurt. And also. How could Leng Yue disappear. ”

Shen Dali sighed. "Alas," he said. Fifth brother. Don't mention it. Listen to me tell you......"

He had just begun to speak. His face immediately became very ugly. Pointing behind me, he hurriedly said, "Damn." That's what the hell it is. ”

I was reminded by him. Did notice a strange noise in the rear.

I snatched Shen Dali's flashlight. Look back. I was dumbfounded.

As far as my eye can see. Countless giant rats are pouring towards us.
