Chapter 45: The Sea of Blood and Sand

It all happened so quickly that by the time I fully reacted, I had already fallen a long distance, and that's when I realized where I was going. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the center of the huge white jade platform, the throne suddenly collapsed, and a square hole of one meter square appeared, this hole went vertically downward, I don't know how deep, and it seemed to lead all the way to the bottom of the white jade platform.

My current situation is extremely critical, even if there is no spikes or anything like that, falling from such a high place will cost my life.

And I also feel very aggrieved, in such a narrow hole I can't move my hands and feet at all, and I don't dare to make any movements, because any of my actions may cause a change in the trajectory of movement, so that I and the jade around the hole scratch, even if it is a little bit at such a fast speed, it will inevitably be a broken tendon and broken bones.

But if I don't take any action, I will definitely be thrown to death, in this case, Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhang can't help me at all, only on my own.

I had an idea and plunged the bronze sword into the jade, and the strong impact almost broke my arm, and I could only grit my teeth and hold on to the bronze sword with my hand, because it was my only hope of survival.

Unfortunately, this bronze sword was too sharp, and when the sword pierced into it, my body only paused slightly in the air, and the momentum did not decrease at all.

The bronze sword cut a long cut on the jade, like a hideous scar, and the sparks and jade flowers that splattered out hit my face, it turned out to be a hot pain, I didn't dare to open my eyes, and my heart was sad.

The advantage of this bronze sword is naturally that it is extremely sharp, but its disadvantage is that it is too sharp, and it seems that the truth that this thing must be reversed is applicable everywhere.

What made me feel even more chilling was that at this time, the corpse baby behind me began to move again, he crawled on me flexibly, and suddenly bit me on the neck, I screamed, holding the sword in one hand, and reaching behind my back with the other hand to lift it out, but I didn't expect it to dodge it again and climb on my back.

I grabbed the hilt of my sword with both hands and pushed forward, my body arched, and I slammed the corpse against the wall, squeaking and screaming.

A burnt smell slowly drifted from behind me, and the speed of my fall slowed down a lot, and it was at this moment that I suddenly felt empty in front of me and behind me, and before I could understand what was going on, the whole person was lying flat in the air.

It's a terrible situation, because once you hit the back of your head when you hit the ground, it's not that fun. I swung my limbs as hard as I could, trying to increase the resistance of the air to me, and then I sat up in the air, and as soon as I sat up, I felt a shock to my whole body, and I almost lost consciousness, and it took me a long time to realize that I had landed.

I felt that the ground under my body was not as hard as I imagined, but soft, and seemed to have the texture of fluid, and I touched the ground with my hand, only to realize that it was sand.

My heart was glad for a while, if there was not sand underneath, but solid ground, then I would have been crippled if I fell so suddenly, and if I became crippled in such a situation, it would be no different from death, and even more terrible than death, it seems that God has once again blessed me and allowed me to successfully pick up a life.

I only felt that it was pitch black in front of me, and my brain was also chaotic, almost losing all the ability to think, and my ears were buzzing, and I couldn't hear anything, and my whole body was extremely numb under this shock, and I seemed to have lost all consciousness, and the bones in my body were almost scattered.

I tried to move my body, check my physical condition, and look around to see if there was any danger, but I found that I couldn't move my whole body except my hands.

It's a terrible situation, because if this place is a trap for grave robbers, then there's likely some other mechanism in there, even scary creatures that make people feel creepy to think about.

And Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhang can't know whether I'm dead or alive now, and they don't know if there is any danger around me, so they can't rush to rescue.

I sat in that place for a long time in a very strange position, and then I eased up a little, tried to move my body again, and tried to pick it with my hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that I couldn't move not because my nervous system was damaged and paralyzed, but because I was now buried in the sand for most of my body, and the sand was smashed out of a big pit by me, and the sand that flowed back buried me, and the nerves I had just stretched suddenly tightened again.

But when I think about it, I think it's unlikely.

Quicksand is a very common anti-theft mechanism in ancient tombs, it seems to be just ordinary sand, but it is actually a large monster that can suck people into a bottomless pit, and once disturbed by movement, it will quickly "liquefy".

Once a human being sinks, there is absolutely no possibility of extricating himself, he can only watch himself slowly being swallowed, and often the more intense the struggle, the faster he sinks, which is very similar to a swamp.

It would take about 100,000 Newtons of force to drag out one of the trapped person's feet at a rate of one centimeter per second, about the same as the force of lifting a medium-sized car.

If this is really quicksand, then there is absolutely no possibility that I can get out of it, but as we all know, the quicksand flows very fast, almost like water, and if I hit it at the speed I just had, then it would most likely be swallowed up directly, rather than trapped in it like I am now.

And I found that I didn't seem to sink deep for so long, so what buries me now is probably ordinary sand.

I grabbed a handful of sand and tried to see it in front of me, and I felt a whole fishy smell, and then I realized that the place was wrapped in a very strong stench, and after all this experience, I immediately understood what that smell meant, it was the smell of blood.

In other words, it is very likely that there was a very large killing activity in this place, and it may be a blood sacrifice, so the weight of the resentment here has reached an unimaginable level, which explains why the tomb guard can't stop the corpse of the dry corpse.

I raised my numb arms and slashed across the sand before I finally got out of the bloody sand, and I didn't bother to clean up the grit on my body, I touched my waist and found that the "wolf eye" was still there.

I felt it in my hand and found that it had been flattened by me, and I didn't know if it could be opened, so the darkness that I couldn't see my fingers was very disturbing, and I knew that if there was no light source now, I would soon be driven crazy by my imagination.

I prayed, pressed the button with both hands, and an unusually dazzling light came from the lamp, and my heart was in ecstasy, no less than I had found some treasure, and the electric light was still usable.

After a while, I got used to the bright environment, and I used my "wolf's eyes" to shine forward, and as far as I could see, there was an endless stream of sand, all of which had a strange dark red color, as if someone had soaked it in blood.

At this time, the "buzzing" sound in my ears was also a little quieter, and a crisp sound of running water came into my ears, which was very close to me, crisp dingdong, like a ring.

I used my ears to judge the direction of the flowing water, it seemed to be on the left and right sides of my body, I just wanted to use the flashlight to take care of it, when I heard the shouts of Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhang overhead, they kept shouting my name, and then two lights shone down from above.

I opened my mouth to answer, but I felt a sore throat, blood almost spurting from my throat and eyes, and the sound I made was indistinct, and it was so small that even I couldn't hear it clearly, not only because I had hurt my internal organs when I fell to the ground.

I could only use the "wolf's eye" to take a picture of the top, indicating that I was below.

As soon as I lit it, the light above went out, and then a rope came down, and soon the light came again, but the light source was very close to meβ€”it was Xiao Zhang!

I looked up and saw that Xiao Zhang was crawling down the rope, and had already climbed to the bottom of the hole, and beside him, the corpse baby had been rubbed into a ball of minced meat by the strong friction, and was sticking to the wall.

Xiao Zhang lowered his head and shone it down with the miner's lamp above his head, and after seeing this piece of sand, he let go of the rope and jumped down, smashed the sand out of a small pit, staggered forward for two steps before finally standing still, and ran towards me, Lao Zhao also jumped off the rope and put away the rope.

I had never been so happy to see them at any time, and I ran towards Xiao Zhang in two steps and one step, and after running two steps, I felt a heart-piercing pain in the back of my neck, and my eyes were dark, and my knees fell to my knees on the sand.

I covered the part of my neck that had been bitten by the corpse baby with both hands, and the warm blood slowly flowed down from both sides of my neck, mixed with sweat dripping on the bloody sand, and it was extremely dazzling in the "wolf's eyes".

I can't describe the pain, it felt like countless ants were biting at my flesh and eating at my nerves, and the tearing sensation was worse than death.

I touched the wound with my hand, it was shapeless, but I felt that something must be in it, and that was the source of my pain.

I used my fingers to pick open the rotten flesh and touched something hard, and as soon as I touched it, I felt a heart-rending pain, and the muscles of my whole body spasmed violently.

I almost fainted, but eventually gritted my teeth and took it out, knowing that it must be the teeth of the corpse baby.

As if a valve had been pulled out suddenly, a large stream of blood suddenly gushed out of my wound and flowed onto the ground, quickly soaking a large patch.

The neck is one of the most fragile places in the human body, it is directly connected to the spine, is a very important nerve center, this place can be injured large or small, severe paralysis or even direct death.

Xiao Zhang, who was closest to me, hurriedly ran over, took my hand away to take a look, couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly pulled out a piece of gauze from my bag, trying to plug my wound, but found that it was in vain.

Lao Zhao also ran over, and after seeing my condition, he hurriedly took out the medical bag, asked Xiao Zhang to press me to the ground, took out a needle and thread, and began to stitch up my wound.

I was numb to the pain, and let Lao Zhao press me to the ground, needle and thread pierced my flesh and skin, I didn't even feel anything, my eyes were a little blurry because of excessive blood loss, and even breathing became very difficult.

"Don't sleep, Xiao Li." Xiao Zhang whispered in my ear, and seeing that I didn't react, he slapped me in the face twice, almost knocking me unconscious.

Finally, Lao Zhao finished stitching up the wound, wiped his bloodstained hands on his clothes, sighed with relief, sat on the ground and said, "Take a rest." ”

Xiao Zhang also sat next to me, kept asking me how I felt, I couldn't speak, I could only nod to say that I was okay, I looked at Lao Zhao, although his expression did not change, but I could feel that his hand was shaking when he stitched up the wound for me.

The three of us sat quietly on the sand, each of us seemed to have infinite thoughts on our minds, and the atmosphere was very dreary.

"Lao Zhao, what did you say was the sound of running water, could it be that we came out?" Xiao Zhang asked suddenly.

The sound of the running water was not small, and it was so close to us that they must have heard it as soon as they came, but they were too busy to save me, so they didn't have time to care about it.

"No......" Lao Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed, "At this time, the coffin river is protected!" His grandmother's, I didn't expect to be beaten blindly by us, and found here! Then the main burial chamber must be nearby! ”

We listened to Lao Zhao Yi, and our hearts were also very excited, because the ancients firmly believed that the soul of a person would ascend to heaven after death, so all the mausoleums could not be fully enclosed, and there must be a small door in the main tomb to communicate with the outside world, which was the passage for the soul of the tomb owner to enter and exit.

And in order to ensure that the water in the river can flow forever, the water in the coffin river is often a mountain spring that is drawn from the depths of the mountain, and you will definitely find an outlet if you walk along the river bank.

"And ......," added Lao Zhao, "this coffin river is the source of power for all the mechanisms in this mausoleum, that is to say, the organ room is nearby. "Indeed, if you want some institutions to run for thousands of years, long-term energy is essential, and there are three types of energy: wind, hydro, and solar.

Obviously, there is no wind in this mausoleum, and although the wisdom of the ancients is vast and profound, it has not yet reached the point where it can use the sun, so the whole energy of this mechanism is water.

"Have you rested?" Lao Zhao obviously couldn't hold it anymore, stood up and asked.

I nodded, stood up with Xiao Zhang's support, and Lao Zhao took out a flare gun and fired a flare.

The flares rose like the sun, and the bright light instantly illuminated a large area, and I saw that the tomb was more than a hundred meters wide, and it was all covered with a thick layer of sand.

On both sides of the sand are two coffins more than two meters wide, and the river is very clear, I don't know how deep. On the walls on both sides of the river are murals of people feeding a very large scorpion with some slaves.

The length of the burial chamber is much longer than its width, and there is no end in sight, but as far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea of sand, and everywhere there is that dark red blood sand, all the way down is spectacular.

I walked towards the river, squatted down and took a bow to the cool mountain spring and washed my face, feeling a lot more refreshed, and even the wound was not so painful. I leaned down and plunged my head into the water to have a good drink, but after two sips, I saw a big face full of black hair suddenly come up.

"My grandmother!" I screamed, pulled my head back, and sat down on the ground.
