Chapter 31: The Rough Stone
"Let's see if we can remove the lid of this coffin." I looked at them and spoke, then I reached out and grabbed the corner of the sarcophagus lid, and they all found their places, and then the five of us worked together.
"Squeak..." there was a sound of stones rubbing, and the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved to the side.
However, because the sarcophagus lid is relatively heavy, we can move out of very few positions, and a lot of effort is wasted. We just moved the lid of the sarcophagus out of a slap position, and before even the inside was revealed, our physical strength was almost exhausted.
"No, slightly.... Take a break. Daddy was the first to collapse on the ground, he was dressed roughly, took the water out of his bag, and took a sip.
We all stopped, the coffin lid was made of I don't know what material, it was extremely heavy, and we now felt a little exhausted, and after sitting down, I took out some dry food from my bag and gave it to them, and we talked while eating.
"This is already the seventh, and there are still two left." I sighed, it's been two years, and we've been hungry for so long, and we've only found a total of seven tombs.
"yes, time flies." Hou Zifeng sighed, "By the way, those eastward directions we found last time, what did Lao Li Tou say?" He asked.
I shook my head, "No, just tell me that if I find something in the future, tell him as soon as I find it, he doesn't want us to destroy what's inside." And I gave him all the leather scrolls and everything, and asked him to help me study them, and maybe we will have new clues when we go back this time. "Speaking of which, I was excited for a while, if there are really other clues, then we can continue to search, now there are seven, that is to say, the next ancient tomb we find has a fifty percent chance of being able to find the stone box that Nine Dragons turned over, in that case, the chance of saving Xia Ying is even greater.
What we didn't notice was that Zhang Man, who was sitting on the side, had an indescribable expression on his face, as if he was very sad and a little jealous.
"Yes, we will be liberated by then, and we have a lot of good things in store, and it is estimated that we will have enough to spend in the second half of our lives." Hou Zifeng said leisurely.
"Haha, you are a wife and a child's hot kang head, and the two of us haven't landed there yet." I smiled slightly, looked at Hou Zifeng and said, then turned my head to look at Zhang Huanqing, "You?" When will you get married, there is still a fiancée waiting for you. ”
"Me? I don't know, I don't have that idea yet, but when I settle down, I'm talking. Zhang Huanqing sighed and said lightly.
We talked for a long time, and after resting, we got up and walked towards the sarcophagus, which had been a waste of time, so we had to speed up and open the sarcophagus.
When we came to the sarcophagus, we still followed the previous appearance, and the five of us pressed against the lid of the sarcophagus and pushed it to the side. After a few repetitions, we finally pushed the sarcophagus to a third of the coffin, and then we stopped.
A third of the coffin was exposed, and we could just see inside.
We turned on our flashlights and shone them into the sarcophagus, where we saw a pair of legs wrapped in a layer of armor.
We were stunned, this girl was put backwards. This one has legs, and it is wrapped in armor, how can you tell the difference. I suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, in this case, we still have to continue, we must get the lid off the coffin.
"Or I'll climb in." Hou Zifeng hesitated for a moment, and then said.
I shook my head, "Forget it, we don't know what's going on inside, what if the corpse becomes a dumpling, then it's too late for you to run." ”
"Uh... That means we're still in the process of removing the lid. Hou Zifeng scratched his head a little embarrassed.
I nodded, "I can't help it, that's it." ”
After that, we started to work again, and after moving a little away, we were a little exhausted, and now we started again.
The five of them continued to push the sarcophagus lid open, but fortunately, they got a third of it, and it was much more convenient if one person pressed it hard.
It took nearly half an hour for us to finally get the lid of the sarcophagus off, and finally see the scene inside the sarcophagus.
In the large sarcophagus, there was a corpse dressed in armor, the whole armor was silver, it was a set of full-body armor, and a mask on the head, enveloping the entire head.
Under the corpse, there was a layer of soil, and I don't know where it came from, but the corpse lay flat on top of the dirt.
We can't see what the corpse is like, rotten. It's still well preserved.
"How?" Hou Zifeng looked at the corpse wearing full body armor and said with some embarrassment.
"Look for it, see if there's anything useful, if not, let's leave the corpse and go out." I frowned, looked at the corpse in the sarcophagus, and said.
Zhang Huanqing followed the light of the flashlight, reached in directly, and took off the mask on the corpse's face.
Beneath the mask was a withered, inhumanoid face, and some maggots wriggled back and forth from the eyes and mouth, and we almost didn't vomit when we saw it.
"It should be fine." Zhang Huanqing looked up at us and said lightly, and then began to look for it in the sarcophagus.
The contents of the sarcophagus were simple, except for the body in armor, and the dirt beneath the body, and there was nothing obvious to be seen.
We took out our shovels and rummaged through the dirt, but to no avail.
"When"
A soft sound came from the dirt under the corpse, Zhang Huanqing was stunned for a moment, and then dug hard at the place where the sound came from.
Strange to say, the soil under the corpse seemed to be very deep, and it had been dug for a long time, and there was no intention of bottoming out.
The shovel swung back and forth in the sarcophagus, and we threw some dirt out until Zhang Huanqing stopped moving.
A round stone rolled out of the place where he had dug with his hands.
I stared at the round stone, wasn't that what I saw in that ancient book?
"Quick, bring me the strange-shaped stone I found earlier."
