Chapter 10: The Living Figurines

Long Zi looked at the tomb door with two eyes, the tomb door was locked by a chain, and after a closer look, the tomb door was not tightly closed, it was staggered at a distance, the stone door was five centimeters thick, revealing a gap, although it was not clear to see the inside, but this was by no means a natural formation.

"Brother Kan, was this too hasty when the burial was carried out at that time, so it became like this?"

"No, I'm sure someone has been here before us."

"Who? Is it also a tomb robber? ”

"I don't know, let's go in and talk about it, I'm going to cut this chain and stand aside." Brother Kan took the machete and cut the rusty chain in three or two strokes, and slowly pushed open the door of the underground palace.

The gate of the underground palace was completely pushed open, Long Ziyan took the wolf's eye flashlight and shone it inside, behind the tomb door is a long tomb road, the tomb road is empty, there are no decorations, but there are some colorful patterns carved on the wall, the bottom of the tomb is paved with stone slabs, and the only suspicious thing is that there are countless arrows scattered in the tomb road.

Brother Kan figured out something and said to Long Zijing: "It seems that the group of soldiers outside the tomb who came earlier than us must have been hit by the mechanism in the tomb when they entered the tomb, and the falling rocks in front of the tomb were also, but they helped us a lot, these mechanisms were all destroyed and useless." ”

"Then we're out of danger."

"So to speak, but pay more attention, be careful of the Ten Thousand Year Ship, some of them must have survived, otherwise how could the corpses be piled up together, and the tomb door was relocked."

"Some of them got out alive, and since it was a tomb robbery, why did they pull out those who were dead and throw them together?"

"If it's a tomb robbery, there are too many people, it's too blatant, go inside, be careful."

Brother Kan moved forward slowly, and the stone slab on the ground he stepped on sank down, and an arrow suddenly shot out from the side of the tomb, which passed straight through the dragon's eye, and shot at the opposite tomb wall, sending out a spark and falling to the ground.

The sudden scene frightened Long Zi's eyes shrunk his neck, his eyebrows were raised, and he stood motionless behind Brother Kan for a while before he snorted and said, "What happened just now, I haven't figured out what we're going on?" ”

Brother Kan comforted while unloading his backpack: "It seems that there are still mechanisms left in the tomb, relax, it's not bad if you don't shoot into hedgehogs like those soldiers outside, I have to force Grandpa Kan to have real skills." ”

"Why did you go earlier, I almost went to see Granny Meng."

Brother Kan untied something from his body, "Look at this, the tiger head steel umbrella, made of pure steel, there is a dagger hidden in front of it, what kind of hidden weapon flying knife is holding it, all bow down to the ministers, fight with my brother, and I don't know what I can do." ”

Long Ziyan couldn't listen to it: "If you don't pretend to be forced, will you die?" Do you think it's funny to boast about yourself? ”

"Brother Kan, I'm not pretending to be forced, I'm really awesome, honestly follow the back."

Brother Kan opened the tiger head steel umbrella in front of him, and the trigger mechanism shot out in a row, and the dragon eye who followed behind only heard a swishing sound hitting the tiger head steel umbrella, and the arrows could not penetrate the steel umbrella and fell to the ground one after another, and the two of them walked out of the tomb road all the way, and at the end of the tomb road was a stone wall that was impermeable on all sides.

"Little Dragon King, be careful, there should be an entry mechanism here, press the four walls to find the mechanism."

Long Ziyan pressed the walls one by one, and then he saw that a stone wall was a little loose, and he stretched out his hand to press down the stone bricks, and the stone bricks immediately fell down after being pressed by external force, and the secret door of the stone wall in front of him was opened in two in the rumbling sound, and the main hall of the tomb appeared in front of him.

Just when the two of them were happy to find the underground palace, the stone slab under their feet had a chain reaction, and the stone slab was also divided into two.

Brother Kan, who reacted in time, grabbed the eye of the dragon with one hand and quickly used the end of the tiger head steel umbrella handle with the other, only to see a rope arrow shot out from the end of the steel umbrella handle, and the sharp arrow shot into the stone wall and was rigidly embedded in it.

The frightened Long Ziyan tightly held Brother Kan's hand and hung it in the air, looking down, there were spears erected under the secret passage, and there were corpses with tragic deaths under the spears.

"Little Dragon King, I'll go up first, you follow and grab the rope and climb up."

Brother Kan climbed out of the dark passage along the rope, stretched out his hand and pulled up the dragon eyes that climbed up, and the two walked into the tomb and sat on the ground.

Long Ziyan took a breath and said to Brother Kan: "Brother Kan, you saved my life again, what did you make so powerful just now?" ”

Brother Kan said proudly: "There is a dagger hidden in front of this tiger head steel umbrella, and there is also a life-saving mechanism called the tiger claw hook hidden in the back, which can pierce and firmly hook objects after release. ”

"Alas," Long Ziyan sighed tirelessly, "Long live Brother Kan." ”

"I don't need to live long live, I'll be content at the age of 100."

"If you want to be a hundred years old, let's think about how to get out of here first."

At this time, the two have gone deep into the underground palace, in front of them is the true appearance of the underground palace, this underground palace is really an underground palace, a straight tomb road, there are four ear chambers on both sides of the tomb road, there is a small palace at the end of the tomb road, there is a stone gate in front of the palace, and the main tomb is in the palace behind the stone gate.

The two of them went forward to inspect the ear chamber, and were indeed stunned by the scene of the ear chamber, the ear chamber of the ordinary tomb is the size of a bedroom, just to place some funerary goods, and the area of this ear chamber is more than ten times theirs, about five basketball courts are the size, the room is like a big pit, lined with large and small stone figurines, the pit is covered with countless bones, there is a burst of foul smell, and a group of dense red-headed corpse ticks on the corpse gnawed on the few flesh and blood.

Long Ziyan patted Brother Kan and asked, "That's the red-headed corpse tick you encountered in the valley, right?" ”

"It's those things, they're sucking on corpses, let's not provoke them, they're going to die a terrible death."

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's strange?"

"It stands to reason that so many corpse ticks have already gnawed away the corpses, how can there still be flesh and blood corpses."

"Why do you think about it so much, people can't eat the corpse ticks and get up."

"Just kidding your uncle, look at the cracked stone figurines next to that corpse."

"It's said that it's a stone figurine, how can it crack, and even if it cracks, what can it do?"

"If you look closely, it doesn't look like a stone carving, it looks like it's made of mud."

Brother Kan looked at the broken stone figurine and said, "It's mud, the stone won't be so broken." ”

"Looking nearby, these stone figurines are mixed with a lot of figurines fired from earth, so I understand." Long Ziyan saw the secret of the figurines and shouted.

Brother Kan was frightened by Long Ziyan and scolded: "Bastard, scare Lao Tzu, what do you understand?" ”

"Don't ask, Brother Kan, you can take a stone and smash one of the figurines."

Brother Kan found a piece of gravel and aimed at the figurines and smashed them, in the middle of the figurines' upper body, the soil layer wrapped around the figurines fell off in pieces, and the figurines with an unstable center of gravity fell to the ground, and the corpse ticks immediately swarmed up to suck blood and eat meat, and the scene was disgusting and disgusting.

"What's going on?" Brother Kan had a question mark on his face.

This time, it was Long Ziyan's turn to condescendingly explain to Brother Kan: "I guessed correctly, these earthen figurines are burned with real people, and the living people are coated with mud and burned into figurines as burials. ”

"This is not a living figurine, how many people have been killed, it is too cruel, it deserves to steal his tomb." Brother Kan scolded with anger and a flushed face.

"Don't worry, listen to me, the cruel ones are still to come."

"He's **, I'll go, and what?"

"I'm afraid that those who are made alive as figurines should be the workers who built this underground palace, once the underground palace is repaired, those kings will kill those workers in order to prevent the location of the underground palace from leaking, and they should be buried with adult figurines."

"It's so inhumane, this grandfather has to slaughter him with his own hands, and he won't let him go when he dies, my generation hates the exploiters who oppress the working people at the bottom."

I don't know if it's because the corpse tick is not full, or if Brother Kan's voice is too loud, the black pressure of the corpse tick is coming, Long Ziyan pulled Brother Kan to escape, "If you want justice, you have to save your life first." ”

The two of them ran towards the stone door of the tomb, the corpse ticks in the four ear chambers seemed to hear the call and poured out of the nest and chased after them, and the two of them jointly pushed open the second stone door of the underground palace and escaped in, and hurriedly closed the stone door to block the corpse ticks, and the moment the corpse ticks poured in front of the door, the stone door closed, and the poor corpse ticks in front of them were sandwiched into meat sauce by the stone door.

A few corpse ticks that crossed the stone gate continued to attack the two, Brother Kan slapped three to death with a shovel, Long Ziyan took out a dagger and stabbed one to death, and a pool of dead red blood flowed from the ground.

After taking a closer look, I found the appearance of the red-headed corpse tick: the corpse tick is divided into two parts: the head and the body, the body is oval, the whole body is covered with a layer of black blood carapace, the dorsal and ventral of the flowing human blood has become flattened, the volume is the size of a palm, the chelicerae are long rod-shaped, and its end has a tooth-like fixed toe and moving toe, which is used to cut the host's skin. The infraoral plate is more developed, its ventral surface has a series of longitudinal reverse teeth, puncture and attachment, the beard limb can be seen four segments, the distal segment has receptors, when sucking blood, the beard limb plays the role of fixation and pillar, and the red head has a pair of valves, which has olfactory function.
