Chapter 5: The Ascension Altar
Just when Big Mouth tried every means to smash open an escape route, he found that the so-called escape route was a fishy river of blood, and there were still things swimming in it.
Big Mouth sat on the ground at this time, he was already desperate, there was no hope of escaping, just now he finally convinced himself that there was no endless road, but now what was in front of him was clearly a dead road.
The big mouth looked at me with innocent eyes, hoping that I would give him some comfort, in fact, I was also a little desperate, all I could do now was to directly pull out the German sapper shovel and swing it at that thing with all my might, no matter what it is, whoever stops me today will be one word, death.
The German-made sapper shovel is a necessary equipment for the German ground assault division during World War II, light and durable, can be folded and easy to carry, and the shovel steel line is excellent, it can be used as an ordinary shovel in peacetime, and can be used as a weapon with excellent combat effectiveness in times of crisis. Especially in small spaces, its advantages can be brought into full play.
So at the moment when the sapper shovel came into contact with that thing, with a snort, a stream of dark red blood gushed out, and it was more than two meters tall when I wore it, and the big mouth saw that I was moving, and ran over in a few steps.
Fortunately, the sapper shovel didn't lose its bearings, and the entire shovel sank into the object's head, and then it twisted a few times before it fell silent, almost killing with one hit.
I motioned for Big Mouth to fish things up, and Big Mouth now looked like a different person after some intimidation, and with a sharp movement was unambiguous, he took out the rope, made a live mouth, and accurately lassoed the thing, and pulled it up with a slight force.
I shook it with a flashlight, and it turned out to be a big fish about 1.5 meters long, ugly and fierce, with a bloody mouth open, revealing two rows of misaligned sharp teeth. Looking at those horrible teeth, I felt my scalp tingle, and if I had bitten into it, I guess the bones would have been shattered.
"Piranha," I told Big Mouth.
"Piranhas? It's not a ghost, except for ghosts, I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to move," said with a big smile.
"Without further ado, this is our only way to escape, let's go down first"
It doesn't matter if it's a piranha or a piranha shark down there, it's better than staying on top and waiting to die. After weighing it, I pulled out the sapper shovel from the piranha's head and jumped straight down, followed by the big mouth, also holding the German sapper shovel, and followed me not far behind me with great vigilance.
I dare say that the smell of the blood river is the most unpleasant smell in my life, the moment our body enters, the fishy smell comes to my nose, choking my eyes can't open, followed by a big gasp of vomiting, I feel like I'm about to vomit out all my internal organs. Looking back at the big mouth, he was no better, covered in blood and his face was pale.
The river of blood wasn't deep, it was waist-high, and it was about the same width as I had seen it before. I made a rear-of-the-back gesture to Big Mouth, because we were going to be in the underground tunnels and someone had to be in charge of the security behind us. Thanks to two years of Scout training, I have a tacit understanding with Big Mouth, and I only need a gesture to understand everything.
The next task is to pass quickly, one or two piranhas will not pose a threat to us, but in case the swarm comes, the river of blood will become a place for me and Bigmouth, and I try not to think about these things so that I can keep myself optimistic and walk forward with Bigmouth.
I led the way in front, and Big Mouth stepped back with great caution behind. In order not to make too much movement, every step is very slow, and every step is to look in all directions and listen to all directions, which really feels like a year. Fortunately, 200 meters is not very far, and it will not take much effort to pass through the tunnel.
I shook it forward with a strong light, and I could clearly see that more than ten meters in front of me, the space suddenly increased, and there was a circular altar with a diameter of more than 100 meters, surrounded by carved railings.
And there seemed to be movement around the altar, and dozens of blade-like dorsal fins in the river of blood swam back and forth, like sentry posts. Suddenly, my scalp tightened again, and I prayed silently in my heart: "Don't swim here, don't swim over."
Maybe they really shouldn't have died, those piranhas really just swam around the altar and didn't take me and Big Mouth seriously, maybe they have something heavier to look after.
"Something more important?" I was suddenly frightened by my own thoughts, could it be that there are still zongzi, so wouldn't we be in the same nature as those tomb robbers when we came out this time? The kind of tomb robber who was scolded by thousands of people, just when I was in a trance.
Just listen to the big mouth, "If you want to feed the fish, just wait here, I'll go up"
After the big mouth finished speaking, a flash flashed, the huge body was like a gorilla, and rushed out of the tunnel directly, without stopping at his feet, his body jumped up, and his two big hands directly buckled on the blood river trough more than two meters high, and then as soon as his arm was forced, the body jumped on the blood river trough, very neat movements, and it was still a weight-bearing situation, but this thief grandson actually threw his leader here directly, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Yu Dazui, you kid is too selfish, do you still have me as a platoon commander in your eyes?" I scolded Big Mouth, and suddenly felt that the anger in my heart had dissipated a lot, so I repeated his actions along the route of Big Mouth.
In fact, I'm just talking about it, I know that Big Mouth is a person who values the feelings of friends, growing up silently since childhood, lonely inside, withdrawn personality, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and has no reliable friends. It's just that he won't express his feelings, and the first feeling he gives people is the kind of ruthlessness that is thousands of miles away, which is also what we have experienced in more than two years of getting along, Big Mouth is definitely the kind of fierce man who can live for you and die for you.
I went up and asked me what to do next, I smiled wryly and shook my head, and then fell down like a pile of mud, my nerves collapsed too tightly just now, and now I need to recover my strength before thinking about the next step.
I enjoyed a brief moment of peace while pondering my next steps. Originally, it was just out of curiosity, and the blood river came under the encouragement of the big mouth, but I didn't expect it to fall into such an embarrassing situation, it is not an exaggeration to think of nine deaths, no matter what you do next, you can't cheapen the tomb owner here, and let him let him let out some blood if he says anything.
About half an hour after "falling into the grave", two words suddenly came to me.
The big mouth looked at me in amazement, and then a heartwarming sentence came out, "What do I think, I can't be cheap this old guy, say anything and let him cut some love"
I sat up, turned the flashlight to the fullest, and swept around. It was found that this is a circular underground palace, surrounded by black stone walls, and various exquisite patterns are drawn on the dome, such as fairies, cranes, bats, longevity peaches, etc., and nine stout stone pillars lead directly to the dome. The diameter of the underground palace is almost more than 500 meters in size, because the afterglow of the flashlight can just shine on the opposite stone wall, and directly below the dome is the altar, and there is a black coffin on the altar, and the altar surface is flat.
I searched for the tomb robbery scriptures in the depths of my memory, and initially guessed that this kind of altar is called the Ascension Altar, which means that the owner here is not willing to die after death, and he still wants to ascend to heaven, and he wants to continue his spring and autumn dream. And this kind of altar sacrifice method is quite cruel and inhumane, it requires nine pairs of dragon and phoenix twins, nine eighteen-year-old yellow flower girls, nine eighteen-year-old strong men, anyway, like such a large-scale altar, it takes more than 1,000 people to complete the sacrifice.
No wonder this place dares to call the river of blood, the feelings of his grandmother are all human blood, for some reason, there is no dry and coagulation to form the blood river, the human feelings are warm and cold, the world is very cold, some ruling class in order to achieve the goal of nothingness, do not hesitate to sacrifice tens of thousands of people who admire him, too fucking pigs and dogs are not as good, and ascend to heaven, I am afraid that hell will not accept it.
I briefly said my conjecture and the big mouth, and the big mouth fire hat stood up with a big mouth, "Lao Tzu will carry him back today to tear and tear and feed the wild dogs, so that he will never be reincarnated."
