Chapter 34: Sneak Attack

The strange sound that brought us here suddenly appeared behind me, although the sound was not loud, but in the silence of the coffin, it was like a thunderbolt, extremely clear, I trembled all over my body, the muscles on the door of my head tightened, and I was in a cold sweat.

This coffin is about six or seven meters long, not long, not short, judging by the sound, the sound source should be no more than one meter away from me, that is almost the distance between my back and patting my shoulder. "The ...... The ......" sound regularly sounded, it was simply the feeling of listening to the knock on the door, and a cool air slipped from the back of my neck to the bottom and went straight down to my heels.

For a moment, the muscles in my whole body were stiff and unable to move, and I wondered whether to look back, or to pretend that I didn't hear the sound and ignore it. But I reacted immediately, I couldn't cry or laugh, and bit my tongue to remind myself: bite and calm down, at this time there is actually no choice at all, only to face, fear and making excuses are simply waiting for death.

After a moment of stalemate, the ghostly voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither closer nor far, I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and clenched the short knife, and slowly turned back to see what was behind.

As I turned around, the strange sound suddenly stopped, and I fixed my eyes to see that there was nothing in the gray mist behind me, and the direction from which the strange sound came just now was still gray, but it was disturbed by my movements, and some strange air currents appeared, which quickly calmed down and became as uniform as just now.

I swallowed, feeling a little surprised, and shone my flashlight around, nothing unusual, as if the sound had never been seen before.

The voice was so close to me just now, I could hear it very clearly, and it was definitely not an illusion. The movement of my turn was only about a second, and if it was made by some moving object, it would not have disappeared at such a fast speed, could it be that the sound came from somewhere else? Am I misjudged?

I subconsciously took a step forward to find the source of the sound. Suddenly, a figure rushed through the mist beside me, and my eyes were quick, just in time to see what was going on, and I hurriedly lowered myself. The figure didn't catch me, but it knocked me to the ground. I rolled on the ground and looked back to see that the man who hit me was fat. It was Boss Wang who pulled me here.

I cursed, flashed my short-handled hunting knife, and tried to break off with him, but he ducked into the fog again in a flash, and disappeared.

I couldn't help but spat in disdain, his dagger should have fallen outside in the fight just now, and now he was taboo with the short knife in my hand, and he didn't dare to clash with me head-on, but hid in the mist. Wait for me to get closer, and then carry out a surprise attack, which is completely different from the arrogance just now, and he must be a fucking villain.

But then again, the situation here is so weird, this guy's courage is not ordinary, if I had neither a flashlight nor a weapon, where would I dare to sneak attack others, I would have shrunk in the corner and trembled. Fortunately, the fog here is as thick as water, and as soon as something moves, there will be a very obvious trajectory, and he didn't succeed so easily if he wanted to sneak attack me, otherwise I would have knocked him down just now.

When I thought of this, I thought it was strange again, so that if the owner of the strange sound had moved in this coffin, it would have had a trajectory of movement, but when I went to see it just now, the fog was smooth, and it didn't look like something had moved, so didn't he have a form? Is it a ghost?

While guarding against Boss Wang's sneak attack again, I stood up, the space in this coffin is not large, I rolled just now, I don't know where I rolled, I have to quickly retreat to the side, and find a way to climb up.

It is not a big place, but now when you look around, you can see that it is close to the center of the coffin. Through the mist, I saw that there was something in the center, and looking at the shadows, it seemed that a lot of ropes had been hung from the top of the coffin, all the way to the bottom of the coffin. I thought it was the aerial roots hanging down from the branches at the top, and then I took a step forward and shone a flashlight, only to find that it was not, those things were wrist-thick bronze chains, which were wrapped with fungi and the fibrous roots of the banyan tree, and had been wound from the top to the end, but the iron chain seemed to be only fixed between the top of the coffin and the bottom of the coffin, and there was nothing tied underneath.

This stone coffin is said to be huge, in fact, I know such a size, the Western Han Dynasty and the Five Dynasties have been found in several aristocratic tombs with large roofs, this thing is called a coffin, in fact, it should be called a coffin room is more appropriate, if according to the burial tomb, the formal inner coffin should be placed in the zhōngyāng of this coffin room, with strong financial resources, the stone coffin room should be close to more than a dozen layers of wooden coffins, and it has been pasted to the edge of the innermost inner coffin.

Now that I have walked a few steps, I should have at least seen the general shape of the inner coffin, given the size of the coffin, but now I only saw a few chains, and there was nothing on the ground. Is it empty inside this coffin? So where did the voice come from? Where did the weird radio interference come from?

I was stunned for a long time, and then took a step forward, wanting to go to the middle of the bronze chain, to see if there was any trapdoor at the bottom of the coffin he was bolting, and then I stepped out, and suddenly my feet were empty, and the whole person fell down, I quickly grabbed the bronze chain in front of me, and slid down a few meters before I fixed my body, and I was scared out of a cold sweat.

What's going on, how the fuck it's like it's empty? I had palpitations, the flashlight shone downward, and I couldn't see the ground, the fog below was very thick, my feet stepped down, stepped into the fog, I couldn't step on anything, there seemed to be a deep depression.

Sure enough, there is something strange, I think, this coffin is embedded in the bronze tree top of the sacrificial platform two meters, there is nothing in the middle, it may be like the multi-layer embedded coffin method like the war period, there is also a depression in the middle of this coffin, called the coffin well, the following is the real coffin, I don't know how deep this coffin is, it is really dangerous, if you just stepped on the air and fell, maybe you will fall to death.

Here are a few bronze chains, perhaps part of the lifting gear used to carry the coffin down the coffin, and the inner coffin containing the corpse should be directly below me.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a disturbance on the side, Boss Wang rushed over again, this time he was holding a weapon in his hand, and he pounced on me, the fog here is so thick, probably to judge my position by the light of my flashlight, I didn't see it right, and subconsciously shouted: "Don't!" Stop it! ”

But it was too late, Boss Wang "oops", a foot in the air fell down at once, I felt a violent shock of the chain below, probably grabbed him, and at the same time my hand made a coo, and my body began to slide down.

I turned my head to look, it turned out that it was the mushroom-like fungus on it that squeezed my hand, and pressed out a lot of slippery juice like oil wax, so that the bronze chain seemed to be coated with a layer of oil, I yelled in my heart that it was not good, and hurriedly inserted the short-handled knife into the hole of the chain, but the damn one could not be inserted, three times five divided by two, the knife was stuck in the root of the tree, I twisted hard, only to stop my body, at this time I had slid down no less than ten meters, into the inside of the coffin, the trunk of the bronze tree.

The boss was covered in blood, hanging from the bronze chain below me, about a foot away from me. He couldn't pull the chain either, and used his belt through a chain hole to barely stop, and I shone my flashlight at him, and he scolded and turned his head away from the harsh light.

I saw that he was not a threat to me for the time being, so I went to see the situation in the coffin. The inside and outside of the trunk of the bronze tree were carved with cloud and thunder patterns deep into the ravine, and the roots of the tree snaked down from above, and the fog inside was much thinner than above, and I looked around, eager to know how big this coffin in the center of the coffin was, and if it was too big, I was afraid that it would be a big problem for me to climb out.

The coffin well is a rectangle, four meters long and two meters wide, just enough to accommodate a coffin to put loosely. I can touch the wall of the coffin well with my hands, I don't know if it's because of the fog, the roots here are not parasitic with a lot of fungi, and I can see the roots of the trees. There was a peculiar smell floating in the air in the coffin, maybe it was too foggy outside, and the isolation medium inside the gas mask began to be affected, and the effect began to decline, and I could feel the smell of the knife getting stronger and stronger, choking my nose. From this point of view, Boss Wang must not be comfortable.

Looking down, I was taken aback, I could see that the chain hung down into the darkness below, and the place where my flashlight could not shine was very long, and from here, the whole coffin was bottomless, and it looked as if it had been going down all the way, as if there was no bottom.

No, I thought, there was a feeling in my heart, could it be that the whole bronze tree was hollow? The height we climbed up was no less than 300 meters, and we don't know how deep this copper tree would be in the ground, and if it was hollow, what would be its bottom? Centric of the earth? Hell? What is the significance of this giant hollow cylinder inserted here?

Boss Wang was also very surprised, neither of them spoke, and looked straight down. Suddenly, "of...... Target...... Target...... The two spurs, the percussion of the yīn sen, suddenly appeared all around us again!

I glanced at Boss Wang, and my eyes were all cast into the darkness under me, and the voice actually came from the abyss below.
