Chapter 222: Ghost of the Tomb
The five steps in the sarcophagus were upside down, with his head close to the snake's body, as if he was sleeping, seeing this scene, Wu Zhiyuan almost screamed, and couldn't help but take a step back, his face showing fear.
No wonder the dead body was lying on the lid of the sarcophagus, it was expected that he deliberately wanted to press the lid of the coffin to prevent the five steps inside the sarcophagus from crawling out, but when the person climbed up the lid of the coffin, he must have been bitten by five steps upside down, so in the end, the snake venom attack died on the lid of the coffin.
At this moment, the five-step back in the tomb poked its head out from the other end of the coffin, and it saw Wu Zhiyuan, who was only one coffin away from itself, and the snake's head shook suddenly, making an attack posture.
Wu Zhiyuan was shocked, and was about to bend down to grab the blue and white porcelain on the ground again, when he suddenly saw that the five-step body that was crawling on the coffin suddenly drooped his head, as if he had given up attacking himself, Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, but saw that the five-step snake body slipped and got into the sarcophagus.
The sarcophagus was very deep, Wu Zhiyuan was one step away, he couldn't see the situation inside the coffin, he squatted down and grabbed a porcelain with his hand, raised it to his waist, and made a throwing action at any time, because what he was going to face next was two poisonous snakes rushing out of the sarcophagus and attacking him.
However, after waiting for the tea, he never saw any movement in the sarcophagus, Wu Zhiyuan was a little impatient, raised the porcelain in his hand and was about to throw it into the sarcophagus, but before the porcelain was taken off, he heard a few baby cries suddenly coming from the sarcophagus, "Wow...... Wow......", the voice came suddenly and was extremely harsh, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be startled, and the porcelain in his hand almost failed to grasp steadily.
"What's that sound?" Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled in his heart, secretly wondering if these two five steps gave birth to a little snake? When I think about it, I don't think it's right, snakes are cold-blooded animals, and most of them breed their offspring by incubating eggs, and even if a small snake breaks out of its shell, it is impossible to make a baby-like cry.
Thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and slowly walked a few steps forward until he could see the situation inside the sarcophagus and stopped.
What he saw in the sarcophagus was very different from his speculation, Wu Zhiyuan saw that the five-step upside down that climbed into the sarcophagus was wrapped around the five-step downside that was coiled, and the snake's head leaned on the five-step head of the pan body from time to time, and at the same time let out several wails, and the wailing sound was just like the cry of a baby.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't know why, but after a closer look, he found the clue, it turned out that the five steps in the sarcophagus had already died, and the snake body still maintained the coiled action before death, but the whole body had lost moisture, shriveled abnormally, the snake scales were dull, and the two eyeballs collapsed, as if they had been dead for a long time.
The five-step snake that climbed into the sarcophagus kept letting out bursts of wailing, and the sound became smaller and smaller, as if it saw that its lover had passed away, and its heart was sad, and gradually, its wailing voice was no longer audible, only to see it slowly stretch the snake body, and even the whole snake body was raised high, like a scorpion that was attacked.
Wu Zhiyuan's heart tightened, secretly thinking that these five steps thought that I had killed its companions, then the situation would be very bad, and when he was preparing for defense, he saw that the tail of the five steps fell suddenly waved, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, at the end of the arc, the awl on the tip of the tail suddenly inserted into the snake's belly, without stopping, the snake's tail cone went all the way down the snake's belly, and the intestines and snake gallbladders in the abdomen were all turned out, which looked very terrifying.
This five-step saw his lover die in the sarcophagus, so he committed suicide, no wonder it would stay at the tomb door, it turned out to wait for this five-step that had already died in the sarcophagus.
Living and dying together, unwilling to be alone, this feeling is sincere and touching, the world says that poisonous snakes are cold-blooded and ruthless, but they don't know that all living beings have emotions, and sometimes human behavior is not as good as these cold-blooded animals.
After five steps to break his abdomen, his body writhed in the sarcophagus for a moment, and finally he stopped moving, and he had completely lost his breath.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at the two five-step pours in the sarcophagus, sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but be in awe, he put the porcelain in his hand on the ground, turned around and walked to the coffin lid that had been lifted to the ground, and with great effort, the coffin lid was covered on the sarcophagus again. This sarcophagus has been transformed into two five-step coffins.
"May you be reincarnated as a long-lived couple when you come." Wu Zhiyuan muttered to himself, he stood silently beside the sarcophagus for a moment, turned around and walked in the direction of the tomb door.
The tomb door was short, Wu Zhiyuan walked in with a cat's waist, thinking that this was just a partition between a tomb and another tomb, but after entering, he found that this was a passage, to be exact, a stone cave.
The height of the cave is low, you need to bend down, it is dark inside, you can't see anything clearly, Wu Zhiyuan can only grope the cave wall, and follow the direction of the stone cave. People will feel depressed after being in this cramped environment for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan has been walking for half a long time, but he is still in this stone cave. The waist is already so painful that it can't stand up, and what is even more anxious is that it is pitch black in front of him, if there are any poisonous snakes and beasts living deep in it, once they attack themselves, they will be unavoidable.
This cave does not look like it was left at the beginning of the construction of the tomb, but it looks like a robbery cave, and if it is a robbery cave, perhaps the end of this cave is the exit. Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan held his breath and continued to move forward.
After turning a few corners, the width of the stone cave suddenly widened, and there was a faint light in front of it, the so-called bright light was not really sunlight, but the light in front was brighter than in this stone cave.
Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed, hurriedly quickened his pace, and walked towards the light in front of him.
In his anxiety, he ignored the situation under his feet, and suddenly stepped on the air under his feet, and involuntarily let out an "ouch" sound, and his body had fallen vertically and fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, it was not high, Wu Zhiyuan lay on the ground and grinned, and it took a long time to get up, his body was fine, he subconsciously looked up, it turned out that the exit of the stone cave was open in the middle of the stone wall of this tomb, no wonder he fell down after coming out of the cave.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan rubbed the sore muscles on his body, turned his head and began to look at the situation in this tomb, looking around, he couldn't help but gasp, only to see more than a dozen people standing opposite him!
These people are slightly fat, different in height, the tallest one seems to be a head taller than Wu Zhiyuan, and the shortest one is not a head lower than him, one by one standing coldly in place, and seems to be quite surprised by Wu Zhiyuan's fall from the sky.
"You...... Who are you? Wu Zhiyuan blurted out without thinking.
