Under the cover of yellow sand, I couldn't see what was buried under the ground, but the things under the sand pit moved very quickly, and after a while, the "squirming" movement became more and more obvious, I raised the candle and found that no less than a dozen of the same "sandbags" were rushing towards me and Chen Yun.

My heart jumped, and soon a very bad premonition emerged, we had seen a similar scene under the tomb of the emperor before, could it be that this thing was ......

"Gerbil, run!" Chen Yun reacted before me, and immediately pushed me violently, and when I turned around and was about to run away, a black shadow three or four inches long had already burst out of the yellow sand below, and the eyes of the blood crystal reflected cruelty and ferocity under the light of the fire, and jumped on my shoulder at once.

It was furry and larger than the average mouse, and the rodent's two rows of incisors were so obvious that they were the most powerful weapons of prey, and the gerbil had opened its open teeth and gnawed at my flesh the moment it jumped on my shoulder.

This thing once brought me a nightmare in the tomb of the Emperor, and I didn't think that I would encounter this thing here again after more than half a year, and when the sharp pain in my shoulder came, I did not hesitate to draw my military thorn and swung it at the shoulder.

At the same time, more gerbils had come out of the yellow sand, and as far as I could see, the blood-colored eyes in the line of sight made my heart shrink sharply, and cold sweat was about to fall.

"Oops, there are a lot of gerbils in the bunker, they've spotted us!" Chen Yun let out a low cry and took out the gasoline at a loss, but she didn't have time to unscrew the cap on the bottle, and there was a gerbil on the ground and jumped up at her.

I threw the wounded spurs over, and the blade pierced one of them, but the second and third quickly followed, and they all jumped up towards me and Chen Yun.

I had no choice but to untie the shovel and smash it at the gerbils that jumped up, but these gadgets were only the size of a fist, but their movements were extremely agile, and I slapped them several times in a row, and more and more gerbils approached us, all of them kicked their little thick legs on the sand, and stood upright, their blood-red eyes lit up, and their mouths made "squeak" sounds.

I felt the madness of these beasts in order to hunt for food, locked up under this tomb for more than a thousand years, these things can only live by gnawing stones, at first glance I saw two big living people, how can there be no reason not to go crazy, those blood-colored eyes, like flashlights in the dark, brighter than the candle I hold in my hand.

The number of gerbils is constantly increasing, and farther away, the same kind of blood crystal eyes have emerged, which are constantly approaching us, and have gradually formed a posture of encirclement.

If it's just a dozen gerbils, I can kill them by gritting my teeth, but so many gerbils are staring at us at the same time, and it goes without saying who kills whom.

My heart was already trembling, but because of the candles in my hands, these gerbils who lived in the darkness of the ground all the year round were probably very afraid of fire, so they did not besiege us for the time being, but the posture of the dozen gerbils surrounding us clearly did not intend to let us go.

Chen Yun said Sima Nan, how many candles do you have? Take it all out.

I did as I was told, took out all the candles, and laid them on the sand, lighting them one at a time. The firelight continued to increase, and these gerbils subconsciously retreated two meters as if they had encountered natural enemies, but at the end of the firelight, the blood crystal eyes of those gerbils were still lingering there, and their mouths made a "squeaking" sound, and they did not give up easily.

"What should I do?" I'm out of luck, trapped in this ghost place and can't find a way out, Chen Yun and I can't find the way to escape at all, this candle will be burned out sooner or later, as long as the fire is extinguished, I believe they will come over soon.

Chen Yun couldn't think of any good way for a while, I handed her the Japanese saber, but she refused to accept it, saying that when she met these gerbils, what was the use of taking a knife? I smiled bitterly and said that this knife is not used to chase gerbils, if the fire is extinguished, these gerbils will definitely pounce and tear us to pieces, I have been bitten by this thing, I know how much pain it will be after being bitten by them, it is better to live than to die, if it really comes to that time, you ......

Chen Yun understood my consciousness, hesitated for a moment, and took the Japanese saber in my hand. We have witnessed the death of too many people, and we know in our hearts that this day will happen to us sooner or later.

Seeing that Chen Yun had taken the saber, his face was still very calm, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said Do you regret it? She asked me what I regretted? What else can I regret, you, a young associate professor, could have stayed in the graduate school, spent this life in peace, and enjoyed a rich life that most people can't enjoy, but you have to take us to the grave, thankless!

Chen Yun said, "This is my lifelong pursuit, I want to understand the origin of human beings, and I also want to know whether ancient myths and legends are true, and there is nothing to regret about dying in order to explore the truth." ”

I smiled wryly and said that you are really open-minded!

Time is quietly passing, the candle I brought is very short, a candle can last for about an hour at most, looking at the candle flame that is gradually about to burn to the bottom, I gritted my teeth in my dream, and made up my mind to fight hard, I have never believed in fate, rather than being gnawed to death by these gerbils, it is better to take the initiative to attack, if you can kill a few, maybe kill them, other similar people have meat to eat, they will forget to attack me and Chen Yun.

It's a bit naïve and simplistic, but it's the only way I can live.

Just as I took the gasoline from Chen Yun's hand and was about to throw it at the opposite side, a whistle suddenly sounded in my ears, and then a black shadow passed by me in vain and rushed to my front at a very fast speed.

The black shadow moved very fast, just like those heroes who can do light skills in martial arts novels, which shocked my heart inexplicably, and the next second, the wind brought out by the black shadow extinguished the candle, and the second before my vision fell into darkness completely, I saw a broad-leaved giant sword, which was fiercely inserted into the sand by the black shadow.

This is......

I was shocked inexplicably, and I couldn't help shouting, "Brother corpse, isn't it you?" ”

The big sword with a broad back suddenly flashed in my eyes, and I seemed to see some blue liquid, which was shaking out along the blade, and the next second, my vision was completely darkened, but the thin and straight figure left a deep shock in my heart.

Chen Yun also exclaimed, "Aguman, why are you here?" ”
