Chapter 50: The Second Tomb
"Crush all this charcoal and turn it into fly ash."
Zhang Lao was blind but very cautious, seeing that this thick and incomparably large man-eating tree was burned into charcoal all over the ground, he was still not at ease.
Black Rose, as a member of Zhang Laoblind's team, naturally listened to Zhang Laoblind's words, and trampled all the high-grade charcoal everywhere into powder, and crushed it into powder with a sapper shovel.
"Next, it's the second layer of tombs, don't take it lightly, the things in there are more difficult and terrible than this man-eating tree."
Last time, when Zhang Lao was blind and they came here to explore by themselves, they unfortunately met the ghost king who could control the Yin soldiers in the second layer of the tomb, and all of them were painted.
And this time, they took the three of us with them, and they still had to enter the second layer of the tomb again.
This second-layer tomb is much more dangerous than the first, and when Bai Qi and I were two people before, we almost died in the second-layer tomb.
This layer of the tomb has Yin soldiers traveling, and there is a four-elephant wheel pattern, which is definitely a great feng shui master's stroke.
I don't have any thoughts of exploring the origin of this tomb, and we didn't go to the tomb for the treasure, but just to solve the hidden dangers in the tomb and protect the people above.
Because Zhang Lao was blind and they had been to the second layer of the tomb, they also knew the method of going to the second layer of the tomb.
Bai Qi and Xu Youfu followed Zhang Lao and their team of the Strange Investigation Bureau, and directly pried open the floor tiles that were rooted in the roots of the cannibal tree and went down to the second layer of the tomb.
This location was something that Bai Qi and I hadn't discovered before, and there were still roots of the man-eating tree crawling on the walls, like tentacles, which looked very terrifying.
Moreover, the main part of the cannibal tree has been burned by us, and the roots here are still as hard as if nothing happened.
"Burn!"
Zhang Lao blindly looked at the scene in front of him, his brows furrowed, and asked Luo Fatzi and them to light the fire again and burn all these tree roots.
As Zhang Lao blindly commanded, they sprinkled the branches with great oil, and as before, they took torches and lit them.
To our surprise, the remnants of the roots of the man-eating tree, which had not moved at all, suddenly writhed violently when we were burned, as if they were alive.
"Don't let them run!"
Bai Qi and Zhang Laoblind reacted the fastest, one after the other, blocking the escape route of these branches.
Xu Youfu and I cooperated with Black Rose and them, adding fuel to the fire and making the fire even more fierce.
As soon as the fire raged, the roots began to scurry around like irritable poisonous snakes, carrying flames.
Bai Qi and Zhang Laoblind, as well as Dian Duyi and Xu Youfu, showed their might and cut off all the roots of these running trees.
Not a single root escaped.
We watched in silence as they were burned into charcoal, and as before, the roots were powdered again.
"Let's go!"
When he arrived here, Zhang Laoblind also became calm.
"Lin Yan, no matter what you encounter for a while, you must not be afraid, familiarize yourself with the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword and treat it as a part of your body."
Bai Qi also told me, followed Zhang Laoblind, and the two of them explored the way in front together.
I can only follow Xu Youfu and walk in the middle.
After all, to be honest, of the eight of us, I am the weakest.
Although Wang Glasses is also the kind of person who is powerless, he can't stand Wang Glasses is a high-tech talent who can provide very effective help.
In particular, Wang Glasses' high-tech analysis played a big role in our efforts to deal with snake tides and bloodthirsty bats.
Although Bai Qi didn't explicitly say that I was weak, I still felt a little unwilling.
It is really a very bad experience for a man to be turned around and talk about his own food.
Now where we are is is a road, and we have cleared the roots of trees along the way.
It's just that none of us have a clue where we're heading now.
Because this tomb is too big, the last time I went around so many circles with Bai Qi on the first layer of the mound, I went directly down to the third layer of the Spirit Turtle Mound, and then returned to the first layer of the tomb.
And when we were on the second floor of the tomb, we were almost hung up because we were chased and killed by the Yin soldiers and snakes.
"If you come, you will be safe, don't panic, no matter how big this tomb is, we can go out."
We walked for a full hour, walking up and down the graveyard, and we didn't see any living creatures.
And I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that the light around me has become much darker than before.
Perhaps taking into account our anxious state of mind, Mr. Zhang also comforted us.
"Everyone, do you feel the light around us dimming?"
Out of uneasiness, I spoke up about my findings.
"Little Third Master Lin, don't think about it, this is an underground tomb, isn't it normal for the light to be dim?"
"That's it, I know that it's very dark in this tomb, Lin Xiaosanye, don't think nonsense."
It's a pity that no one listened to me, even Xu Youfu just sighed and patted me on the shoulder.
Helpless, I could only continue walking, but I had already held the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword in my hand, and my mind was highly concentrated and vigilant.
I trust my instincts, even if it's really me thinking too much, I don't regret it, and it will never be wrong to sail a boat of ten thousand years carefully.
The grave road here is intricate, and there is a fork in the road almost fifty steps, like a labyrinth.
I don't know if Bai Qi and I were lucky or lucky last time, but I met the Yin Soldier Travel and the Four Elephant Wheel Pattern at once, and then fell to the third layer of the tomb.
It's just that Bai Qi and I didn't mention the matter of the third-layer tomb, so Zhang Lao was blind and they didn't know that there was a spirit turtle mound under the second-layer tomb.
In the silence of the tomb, none of us spoke, and our breathing was kept to a minimum.
Because there are Yin soldiers here, once the Yin soldiers are attracted, it's hard to say if we have the same luck as Bai Qi last time.
"Stop!"
At this time, Bai Qi suddenly stopped us.
We didn't dare to take a breath and waited for Bai Qi to say the following.
"Listen, do you have any sound?"
Who knows, Bai Qi asked us in turn.
I frowned and listened hard.
However, I heard strange noises.
Click.
Click.
"The sound of water?"
I don't know what the sound I heard, I can only guess.
"No, it's footsteps!"
Bai Qi's face became ugly.
I don't need to say it, I know what it means to have footsteps other than us on the second level of the tomb.
Aside from the patrolling Yin soldiers, it was impossible for the footsteps of other non-living people to appear in this second layer of tomb.
In other words, we have once again encountered the Yin Soldiers.
