Volume 1 Unheard of Star Names Chapter 33 The Grave Pit

There are similar burial pits in some of the country's large burial mounds, but historians can be sure that this is certainly not a burial pit. Whether it is the neat black coffin cast from these unknown materials or the structure of the entire deep pit, it does not seem to be the level that any ancient civilization can reach.

The distance between each staircase is less than a fraction, as if it was cut out by machinery, and the pit is only 100 meters deep, but it is possible for manpower to complete such a project?

"There are many existences on the earth that humans cannot understand for the time being, but we cannot deny their existence because we don't understand them." Another expert sighed as he stroked the black coffin that had been opened.

"It's not like corpse remnants." A biologist wears leather gloves and takes out some of the mucus from the black coffin and puts it in a sample bag.

"No, it's fresh inside, and this coffin doesn't look like it was opened before." The historian said worriedly, as if it felt like a pair of eyes were watching them in the dark.

"Don't be suspicious, Lao Li, did you rob tombs too much in the past and have occupational diseases!"

Lao Li, a historian, sighed, "I hope it's my delusion!" But everyone should be careful. ”

"It's okay, we have guns, even if this thing is alive from thousands of years ago, it's not a shuttle!" Other experts comforted that more than a dozen of the more than a hundred grimaces were carrying automatic rifles, which gave the experts a great sense of security, after all, even the monsters they had encountered before, whether they were invisible vampire monsters or human mutated corpses, could not fight against thermal weapons, of course, this was on the premise that they had not encountered tyrant-type corpses, most of the mutations in Lake City were ordinary corpses, at most, their strength or speed were faster, but even pistols could easily handle them. This is not a novel movie, the real power of firearms is very terrifying, even if it is just a pistol with a kinetic energy of less than two joules, it can quickly paralyze the human body after being shot into the human body.

Human beings are so fragile that a 5.8 mm bullet can completely destroy a person if it hits the human body at a certain speed. Therefore, the scenes in the movie where you can still jump around and even fight back with injuries after being shot are unrealistic. It is difficult for non-human beings, as long as it is carbon-based, to break away from the lethal principle effect of thermal weapons.

When they went down to the fourth floor again, what they saw was still a much larger black coffin, the closed and heavy coffin blocked the researchers' exploration, who didn't know what was contained in the large black coffin that was three meters long and two meters wide, whether it was a coffin within a coffin, or a large biological corpse?

There is also a precedent for this in previous archaeological cases, where civilizations of strange beliefs would bury the corpses of huge creatures, such as elephants and even sharks, in burial grounds, presumably out of their reverence and worship for large creatures.

"They came here three thousand years ago and were buried here...... At first I thought it was just a myth written in a book, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, maybe everything is true! Another expert marveled at what kind of ancient books they had repeatedly mentioned.

But it is a bit appalling to say that 3,000 years ago, China was still in the late Bronze Age, while the West was the era of Homer's epic poems and Norse mythology, and the ancient Egyptian civilization was close to extinction. Just ask 3,000 years ago in ignorance, how could a powerful tribe or even a state build such a tomb? Digging more than 100 meters of ground, and in a place with a hard soil and a layer of solid stones, it is a difficult project even in modern times, let alone 3,000 years ago, when iron tools were not even popular.

The location where Lake City is located was about the core area of the rule of the ancient Chu State three thousand years ago, but the pattern style of this tomb is very different from the style of all the ancient Chu cultural relics unearthed, and those characters are like some kind of mysterious runes, which are definitely a kind of writing that humans have never come into contact with.

"Ahh

A piercing scream suddenly came from the pitch-black fourth layer of space, and everyone was startled, and more than a dozen grimacing people with automatic rifles clenched the handle of their guns.

Under the bright light, a white-haired expert was sitting on the ground, and he pointed to a black coffin in front of him nervously: "Look at the contents inside!" ”

"Ah, this is ......" The person who approached the big black coffin found that in the round groove without the coffin lid, a huge humanoid corpse was lying, about two meters high, and the most striking thing was a huge head, like a large disc with a diameter of one meter. And the limbs under this disc don't know if it's because of atrophy or what, and they appear extremely weak. The entire corpse was a dull green color, like an air-dried mummy, with a layer of flesh clinging to the corpse's bones.

It stands to reason that if this corpse was like this when it was alive, how did its fragile limbs support this huge head?

"Isn't it just a big-headed corpse! Scare you like this! ”

"No, just now, when I shone it with a bright light, the veins on its head were still moving!" The old expert, who was frightened to the ground, said solemnly.

The biological expert took a closer look, swallowed his saliva, and said with a little numbness in his scalp: "This is not a spliced corpse, this big-headed giant seems to be like this when he was alive, and it seems to be ......"

Leaning in front of the black coffin before he finished speaking, he suddenly plunged into it, and the sudden change made the people around him so frightened that they hurriedly dodged, and the gun-wielding grimace who reacted first tried to call the name of the old expert, but there was no response in the black coffin.

The clown man pushed aside a group of people and came to the black coffin, where he pointed the muzzle of his rifle at the coffin, and a grimace looked into the coffin with a lamp.

The old expert looked like he had been bitten by a pack of wolfdogs, his whole face gnawed to shreds, and he was half of his body in the coffin, staring at him, his mouth still open, trying to scream.

Suddenly, his chapped lips opened a little more, and a miserable white fleshy paw protruded from his mouth, looking like the claws of some kind of mutated giant rat.

With a "bang", the dead old expert's entire mouth was torn open from the inside out, and a monkey-like white furless creature came out of the old expert's mouth.

"Chirp!"

The musket with the silencer fired two rounds at the monkey, and the monkey was hit by the bullet and came out of its body with a liquid like pustule juice, and it let out a piercing and sharp hiss, and it burst out of the black coffin and fled into the darkness.

All they saw was that the clown man fired two shots into the coffin, and then a short black figure jumped out.

"That's, what's that?"

The clown man shook his head, "Ghost." ”

The clown man, who spoke in a strange way, only spat out a ghost word from his mouth, which made everyone think about it.

"I'm not going!" A grimace who can't stand the deep and terrifying atmosphere and the strange creatures that attack people now just wants to get back to the surface, but when he tries to find the stairs up he finds them gone!

The stairs that have just come down are gone, only the downward stairs extend, and the way up is gone! It's like they've been on the cliff on the first level of the pit, with only a staircase going down.

"How so? When did the ladder disappear? The expert was puzzled.

"I don't know, I was still there when I watched it before!" A grimace standing on the outermost side said.

"Go on, go on!" The clown man commanded in a noncommittal tone.

There was no way out, everyone could only continue to walk down the stairs, Jiang Luo found that every time they went down the ninety steps, when they stepped out of the ninety-first step, there would be a slight sense of sinking, if it weren't for the extremely sharp five senses brought by the heat flow in his body, normal people would not have noticed this.

Every time you go down, the stairs of the previous one disappear? There was also a slight sense of sinking of the stairs between the levels, and a bold guess appeared in Jiang Luo's mind, could it be a structure like a track? The stairs that everyone goes down are actually the same as the stairs on the previous floor, so the stairs on each floor are so flat and uniform, or even exactly the same, because they are the same staircase!

Jiang Luo shook his head and covered up this absurd idea, how could this three-thousand-year-old tomb have this kind of escalator-like technology! It's ridiculous!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss"

"Did you hear anything?"

Between the stairs of the fourth and fifth floors, there was a sudden hissing in the dark stairway that resembled a poisonous snake spitting out letters. A grimace struck the lamp overhead.

Above the heads of the crowd, pale and smooth monkey-like creatures clinging to the black walls of the stairway, staring at them with pale, pupilless eyes. The monkey-like creatures had skin like dead pigskins, but they reflected colloidal glows in the light, their feet were like hooves, but they had sharp claws, and their faces had dog-like protruding lips, and they grinned like frightened vicious dogs, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and a poisonous snake-like roar in their throats.

More than a dozen ghost-faced people with guns shot at the monsters above their heads under the leadership of the clown man, and the monsters that were hit let out a rapid roar similar to that of a night owl, and soon the monsters above their heads were densely packed like bats and fell from the top of the wall, and they quickly pounced on the humans below, opening their mouths to bite, and some even got directly into the mouths of people, it was really hard to imagine how a monkey-sized creature could get into the body from the mouth of a person, But it seems that their smooth, boneless bodies can shrink like mollusks.

Jiang Luo pulled out his black sword and slashed down a few monkey monsters that tried to attack him, although the speed of these monsters was fast but the strength was not great, Jiang Luo could cut it in half with a single sword, but their speed was too fast, faster than the mutated locusts he had encountered before, fortunately they were not all rushing towards Jiang Luo, more than a hundred people dispersed the target of this group of monkey monsters, but under the attack of the monkey monsters, many of the grimaced people who walked behind with knives and sticks were bitten beyond recognition by three or four monkey monsters in a burst of screams, Some even have brain flowers flowing out.

These monkey monsters clasp the snout and mouth of a human and tear it so hard that it can tear apart the human face with a single blow, and their sharp teeth can even bite through the human head and then suck the human brain.

When the Harley Boy and the gun-wielding Grimace fled to the fifth floor, the people who were originally following behind them had been reduced by half, and the monkey monster seemed to only operate on the fourth floor, and did not chase after the fifth layer.

The clown man, who had lost most of his younger brother, was not worried, but laughed wildly: "It's all true, those legends, it's all true!" ”

"You're crazy!" The biologist roared angrily, "It's true, if you release it, you won't survive!" ”

The more than fifty people who survived looked at the clown man and the biologist with puzzled expressions, as if the two of them had expected all this!
