Chapter 307: The Fifth Tomb
Hearing Li Huiyan say this, I also suddenly felt a little tricky, fortunately, we didn't approach the stone statue just now, otherwise I really don't know how he died.
Li Huiyan said that the gargoyle is similar to the tomb beasts in the Baiqi Tomb, and it is estimated that the degree of power is not much different.
The only thing that relieved me was that there was only one stone statue in front of us, and there were hundreds of tomb beasts in the Baiqi Tomb, and there must be a big gap between the two.
No matter how powerful a single gargoyle is, as long as we don't form a gargoyle formation, we have hope of confrontation.
"Xiao Yan, are you sure this is a gargoyle? How do I see that it is no different from a normal stone statue except for its size, how do you tell that it is a gargoyle? Just in case, I asked Li Huiyan again.
"It's actually very simple to tell the difference between a stone statue and a gargoyle, if you look carefully at its eyebrows, do you find anything special." Li Huiyan said.
Hearing this, I looked intently at the center of the stone statue's eyebrows. At first, I didn't notice anything, but after a while, I immediately realized that something was wrong.
One of the eyebrows of the stone statue is slightly concave, and there is a blue-gray round jade piece inlaid in the depression.
I didn't pay attention to the eyebrows of the stone statue because of the distance, and the color of the jade piece was very close to the bluestone used to carve the stone statue, so I didn't notice this.
"See, it seems to be inlaid with a jade piece in the center of its eyebrows." I said to Li Huiyan.
"Well, that's the difference between a gargoylum and an ordinary stone statue, this jade piece is the sign of a gargoyle, and almost every gargoyle will have this kind of thing on the center of their eyebrows." Li Huiyan said.
After receiving Li Huiyan's affirmative answer, there was no doubt that the stone statue of the True Martial Emperor in front of me was a gargoyle, which made me have to be more vigilant.
"Xiao Yan, you just said that gargoyles will become a gargoyle formation when they are combined, but why is there only one gargoyle here?" I asked Li Huiyan again.
If the gargoyles in the distance are really used by the tomb owner to prevent theft, the more they should be placed, the better, and it is best to form a complete gargoyle array, which will definitely be more useful.
Just like the tomb beasts we saw on the Ten Thousand Bones Altar of the Bai Qi Tomb at the beginning, the hundreds of tomb beast stone carvings finally formed a tomb town feng shui array, and even the corpse wheel blood tree and Bai Qi had the power to fight.
If it had been just a single tomb beast, perhaps we would have died in the White Tomb at the beginning.
"Maybe it's because the space isn't big enough to fit so many stone statues, or maybe the tomb builders didn't know how to arrange the gargoyle array, so they only made a gargoyle here." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
Having said that, I don't think Lee's guess is likely to be true. The gargoyle originated from the Western Regions, which couldn't help but make me think about the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Night, which is also the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and whether there will be some kind of inevitable connection between the two.
We have known for a long time that the ancient kingdom of the West Night, one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, is likely to be built by the descendants of the ghost clan, and the ghost clan also appeared in the tomb of King Chen of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"No matter how much it is, since there is only one gargoyle like this, then we should be happy, otherwise if we really face the gargoyle array, I won't be able to break through." I said.
"Well, but what I know about gargoyles is only from some archaeological books, and no one knows if the real gargoyles are the same as those recorded in the books, so I have to be cautious for a while." Li Huiyan said.
"That's natural, I'm afraid that those tomb robbers will let us be cannon fodder, so we have to be careful when the time comes." I said.
As he spoke, the man in glasses urged loudly again, and Li Huiyan and I had been standing in front of the stone statue for about five minutes.
"You said you wanted time to re-observe, and I have already promised you, let's talk about it, see if there is anything." As soon as Li Huiyan and I walked back and didn't stand firm, the man with glasses asked.
"Boss, if this kid can't say something, he must be fooling us into delaying time, and I'll shoot him when the time comes." As soon as the glasses man's voice fell, the sixth said again.
"Whatever you want." The man in glasses replied expressionlessly. I've long been accustomed to the sixth person, and if he doesn't get along with me, I feel that something is wrong.
Not only the glasses man and several other tomb robbers looked at me expectantly, but even Xiao Yue, Qin Gong and the others also looked at me and Li Huiyan, obviously wondering if we really had something to gain just now.
"Of course, my classmates and I carefully observed it just now, and found that the stone statue is not ordinary, but an extremely subtle anti-theft mechanism." I said to the man in glasses.
"Anti-theft agency? Are you sure? There are not a few ancient tombs that our brothers have entered, why haven't we seen a mechanism like this? The man with glasses asked suspiciously.
"This mechanism is called a gargoyle, and it is a mechanism technique that originated in the Western Regions. As soon as the person entering the tomb accidentally activates the mechanism, the stone statue will instantly come to life and attack those who enter the tomb. In addition, after the number of gargoyles reaches a certain level, they can also form a gargoyle array, which is countless times more powerful than a single gargoyle. I hesitated and said to the man in glasses.
What I said was naturally what I just learned from Li Huiyan's mouth. Although I myself was a little skeptical about gargoyles, now that the man with glasses asked, I had to bite the bullet and say it.
I only hope that Li Huiyan is really not mistaken, otherwise I will die.
"Gargoyles? It's a bit of a strange name, but you just said that the stone statue would come to life, which is too outrageous. The man with glasses still looked puzzled, and didn't seem to believe me.
"Boss, I think this kid is just talking nonsense. What he said is even more outrageous than the movie, how can the stone statue come back to life, don't believe his words, let me shoot him. The sixth said with a sneer.
In his opinion, the gargoyle or something must have been made up by me. After all, it is simply impossible to make people believe that the stone statue will come to life without seeing it with their own eyes.
If it weren't for the scene where I saw the tomb beast come to life in the White Tomb, even I wouldn't have believed that such a thing as a gargoyle really existed.
After the sixth child finished speaking, the gun in his hand was raised, and the muzzle of the gun was slowly pointed at my forehead, and the eyed man on the side did not stop it.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Li Huiyan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Little girl, you stand aside, it won't be good if his blood is splashed on you, brother, I pity the jade." The sixth smiled and said.
"Just now you asked us to re-observe the stone statue, and we have already observed things, why do you still want to kill people indiscriminately." Li Huiyan ignored the sixth child, looked at the man with glasses, and asked slowly.
"I asked you to observe, and I promised that as long as you have gains, you will not kill people indiscriminately. But again, I don't like people to fool me like a fool. The man with glasses looked down and stroked the pistol in his hand, and said without raising his head.
"How do you know that we are fooling you, is it just by your words? My classmates and I are not wrong about what we observed, and if you don't believe it, it's because you haven't seen it, just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean that such things don't exist. Li Huiyan said again, her tone a little aggressive.
I noticed that Li Huiyan's legs trembled slightly when she said these words, obviously afraid that the glasses man and others would really do something.
"You're saying I'm not as knowledgeable as you?" The man with glasses said coldly.
"I didn't mean that, I just hope you don't kill the wrong person indiscriminately, my classmate is not wrong, and what he just said is not made up randomly." Li Huiyan said again.
"Interesting, and what evidence do you have to prove that what he said is true?" The man with glasses paused, then said, "Since you said that he didn't make it up, then you can prove it to us, and the stone statue will really come to life." ”
"That's right, I'm a person with little knowledge, and I'll come back to life if I haven't seen a stone statue when I'm so big." The sixth also chimed in.
"It's easy to prove that the statue will come back to life, but in that case, the gargoyle security mechanism will be activated, and then we will have to pass through here, are you sure you want to try?" Li Huiyan asked.
As soon as he heard this, the man with glasses immediately became a little hesitant. Maybe Li Huiyan was very confident when she spoke, which made the glasses man a little unsure whether his previous thoughts were right.
As Lee Hye Yan said, the only way to prove if the stone statue is really alive is to activate the gargoyle mechanism.
Again, once the Gargoyle Trap is activated, it's not so easy for us to get through here.
The man with glasses obviously values the burial goods in the ancient tomb, and if the gargoyle really blocks our way, it will not be so easy to get through here to the fourth tomb.
"Boss, you don't really believe this girl's words. How could the stone statue really come to life, she just expected that we wouldn't dare to bet, so she dared to talk nonsense like this. The sixth said.
"Yes, boss, we bet with them, I don't believe that the stone statue will come back to life, this is a lie. If the stone statue doesn't come back to life for a while, we'll strip this little girl of her clothes and see if she dares to talk nonsense again. The fourth child on the side also said obscenely.
Hearing this, a trace of anger suddenly flashed on Li Huiyan's face, but she was quickly suppressed.
"Okay, since my brothers don't believe it, then you go and activate the mechanism, I want to see what the stone statue looks like when it comes to life." After a moment, the man with glasses spoke.
