Chapter 131: There is nothing to be done

Corpse gas, it turned out to be corpse gas!

Hearing this, everyone's faces also became a little ugly. If you want to say what is the most terrible thing in the tomb, anyone who knows something about the tomb knows it.

It's not a yin corpse, it's not a green-haired zongzi or a white-haired zongzi, and it's not those mysterious and unpredictable mechanisms.

The most terrifying things in the ancient tombs are actually those pervasive corpse gases, once inhaled, the light ones will faint, and the heavy ones may be killed directly, which is the most difficult to prevent.

In the dimly lit environment of the ancient tomb, after hundreds of thousands of years, the corpse qi has almost completely melted into the air, and the people who enter the ancient tomb are simply unguardable.

Therefore, whether it is an archaeologist or a tomb robber, before entering some ancient tombs that are old but very well sealed, they will wear gas masks, in order to fear inhaling these unpreventable corpse poisons into their bodies.

Still, there are many people who have never seen this situation in front of us.

Just like Liu Laoqi, even if he has stolen the tomb for most of his life, his face changed wildly when he saw the corpse qi diffusing from around Lu Cheng's body at this time, obviously it was the first time he saw the corpse qi appear.

Knowing the power of the corpse qi, the people present did not hesitate or linger, and ran towards the stone steps at the same time after hearing the shouts of Village Chief Yao, for fear that they would be contaminated with these corpse qi if they walked late.

Running up hundreds of stone steps, everyone was so tired that they couldn't breathe, but no one dared to stop and rest for a second.

When they ran to the back, the two old men, Village Chief Yao and Liu Laoqi, almost crawled out with their hands and feet.

As soon as they climbed out of the stone steps, everyone sat or lay on the ground, panting, and had no intention of saying anything else.

If it weren't for the critical situation, we would have to climb hundreds of stone steps like this for a long time, let alone run up in just a few minutes like this.

"Everyone's alright, right?" After resting for a moment, finally relieving myself, I sat up and asked the others.

"I'm fine." Li Huiyan said first.

"I've got something, I just fell." Xiao Yue cried with a sad face, and pointed to his right knee after speaking.

I looked closely, and sure enough, Xiao Yue's right knee was black and red, and I don't know when a piece of skin the size of a coin was scratched, and a trace of blood was coming out.

"Bear with me first, there is no medicine to give you here, and it will be fine if it scabs over for a while." Li Huiyan comforted Xiao Yue, and she stopped.

Just now we were in a hurry, and it is normal for us to fall and get injured, and the most important thing is to successfully save our lives.

"Village Chief Yao, what happened just now, why did so many corpses suddenly come out?" I turned my head and asked Village Chief Yao.

Village Chief Yao knows more about the things in the ancient tomb than we do, and if he has doubts now, he must be asked.

I really can't figure it out in my heart, strictly speaking, Lu Cheng is still a living person now, how can there be so much corpse qi coming out of his body.

There is another point that I am particularly concerned about, what is the matter with the half of the crimson grimace pattern that appeared on Lu Cheng's chest.

And finally, Lu Cheng's skin suddenly turned red, and it looked like a soldering iron that was gradually burning red, which reminded me of Li Huiyan's previous incident when her palm was burned by a bronze chain.

The crimson grimace on Lu Cheng's chest, the hot bronze chains, and the black corpse qi that suddenly came out, what is the connection between these things, I didn't have a clue for a while, and I didn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time.

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with him being about to completely turn into a yang corpse." Village Chief Yao thought for a while and said.

"Turned into a yang corpse? How could it be so fast, not long after Lu Cheng entered the ancient tomb, was he about to completely turn into a yang corpse? Hearing this, Li Huiyan and I and the others' faces changed greatly.

If Lu Cheng was about to turn into a yang corpse so soon, then our previous plan would almost be in vain, and there would be no time to save him.

The bronze chain was inexplicably hot, and it was obviously impossible to remove the bronze chain directly from Lu Cheng's body, and cutting off the roots of the corpse wheel blood tree was not something that could be done for a while, and it could only be tried again when the corpse qi dissipated.

Now what I'm most worried about is not whether I can rescue Lu Cheng, but what I'm most worried about is that I will really save him when the time comes, and he will completely become a yang corpse.

"I don't know the specifics, but you don't have to worry too much. Turning into a Yang corpse is an extremely slow process, usually taking at least seven days. As for the corpse qi just now, it may be that his body was gradually transformed by bronze, and because his body couldn't bear so much corpse qi, this came out. Village Chief Yao said.

"Stinky old man, if it's not your classmate, of course you don't have to worry, if Lu Cheng has another three long and two short, I will call the police to arrest you, saying that you are a murderer." Before I could speak, Xiao Yue on the side was unhappy after hearing Village Chief Yao's words, and said loudly.

"You have the leisure to yell at me, you should think more about how to save your classmates, old man, I am an old bone, even if I die here now, I will already live enough." Hearing Xiao Yue's words, Village Chief Yao was unexpectedly not angry, but said in a light tone.

"Forget it, Xiao Yue, you don't have to say a word. I think Village Chief Yao is right, it's not so much useless that we should think about how to rescue Lu Cheng. Li Huiyan said.

Xiao Yue looked unhappy, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Escaping from the inner space of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, we didn't know what was going on inside at this time, because there was no such thing as a gas mask, and we didn't dare to go down to check it out for the time being.

I'm afraid that it will be full of corpse gas, and there will be no return when the time comes.

"Corpse Qi transforms the body, this is indeed a necessary process from a living person to a yang corpse, but this process generally only lasts about two hours, and the next time it is estimated that it will wait until tomorrow." Village Chief Yao said again.

"That means that after these two hours, the corpse qi will dissipate, and we can go down and check it out again?" I was overjoyed and said.

"Well, if nothing else." Village Chief Yao said.

Hearing Village Chief Yao's words, I was immediately overjoyed. As long as we can go down to the inner space of the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, I'm afraid that those corpse qi will not be able to dissipate, then we will really have no choice.

Village Chief Yao stopped talking, he got up and walked not far away, and finally leaned against a stone statue of a tomb beast and took a nap.

I don't know when, Liu Laoqi gave Xiao Yue a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, and at this time, he saw Xiao Yue sprinkling powder on the wound on his knee, and from time to time he grinned in pain.

"By the way, Colonel Flower, you saw the half of the grimace pattern on Lu Cheng's chest just now, right?" After a moment of silence, I asked Li Huiyan.

"Well, I see, when I tore Lu Cheng's clothes, the half of the grimace pattern already existed, and there is no way to determine when it appeared on him." Li Huiyan nodded when she heard this.

"And what do you think?" I asked.

While speaking, my mind was also in a hurry, and I couldn't understand why the mysterious grimace pattern appeared on Lu Cheng's body, whether it was a coincidence or some kind of reason that we didn't know.

Although we have seen the grimace pattern many times after entering the ancient tomb, every time we see it is complete, like the half of the grimace pattern on Lu Cheng's body, it is the first time we have seen it.

"According to my guess, it may have something to do with the fact that Lu Cheng has not completely become a yang corpse." Li Huiyan said.

"You mean that the appearance of the grimace pattern is related to Lu Cheng's progress in becoming a yang corpse, and now only half of the grimace pattern on his body has appeared, which means that Lu Cheng has become a half-human and half-corpse?" I immediately understood what Li Huiyan meant and said.

"I'm afraid that's it, when the grimace pattern on Lu Cheng's body is completely completed, it is estimated that he will completely become a yang corpse, so we must rescue Lu Cheng before this." Li Huiyan nodded, with a serious expression.

I thought about it secretly and found that what Li Huiyan said was very reasonable.

At this time, Lu Cheng does not look like a normal person in the strict sense, not only does he no longer know us, but his strength is even more amazing, maybe it really has something to do with his current identity as a half-human and half-corpse.

As for what Village Chief Yao just said, it sounds fine. Although he said that it would take at least seven days for Lu Cheng to completely turn into a yang corpse, we couldn't really wait that long.

I'm not very familiar with the yang corpse, but I'm not stupid, I roughly know that the degree to which Lu Cheng has become a yang corpse is related to whether he can fully recover in the future, and the longer the time drags on, the more difficult it will be for Lu Cheng to return to normal after being rescued.

In that case, the sooner we can get him out, the better.

Of course, there is another reason that we have no food or water now, so we can only rescue Lu Cheng as soon as possible and leave here.

"Then let's wait for a while, I'll go down and take a look in two hours, maybe the corpse qi below has already dispersed, and then we can try to rescue Lu Cheng." I said.

"Well, then let's all rest first, and then go down and have a look later." Li Huiyan said, covering her mouth and yawning at the same time, looking really tired.

I turned my head to look at the others, except for Xiao Yue, who was still sitting on the ground, straightening his legs and touching his wounds, everyone else also closed their eyes and began to rest, and Village Chief Yao, who was not far away, had even snored.

Because I rested for a long time before crossing the copper lock single-plank bridge, in fact, I am not sleepy now, and most of the people are asleep, this ancient tomb is full of dangers, and someone must pay attention to it at all times.

I glanced at the entrance of the stone steps, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, how long would it take for the corpse qi coming out of Lu Cheng's body to completely dissipate, this is the question I am most concerned about now.

The corpse wheel blood tree grows out of the inner space in the Ten Thousand Bones Altar, and the coffin of the tomb owner is also in the internal space, if the corpse qi can't dissipate, let's not say that it is to save Lu Cheng, we can't even go down.

As my thoughts drifted away, I suddenly thought of the nightmare I had since I was a child.

Not here, not here.

Now that we've reached the main burial chamber, when the scenes from the dream and the scenes from the reality are put together, I find that the two are so far apart that they are not the same place at all. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
