Chapter 36: The Change of the Crossbow

It took a while for the fat man to ask me how I was doing, and I knew that the fat man's temper came and went quickly, but it was really hard to say what he asked me, and since there was no emergency for the time being, I briefly told them all the speculations about the dragon-shaped reliefs on the various bronze stone doors. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to my speculation, most of the tomb tunnels carved with the pattern of the eyes are hidden in the crossbow arrow rain such as the news, this kind of thing is generally erected in the mausoleum tomb robbers must pass through the road, is a kind of anti-tomb robbery mechanism that can completely use the surrounding environment to achieve the firing conditions, and the current automatic rifle is quite similar, this crossbow arrow rain has been regarded as ancient high-tech, and this technology has matured in the Qin and Han dynasties. However, the rain of crossbow arrows is generally only used in the very powerful imperial tombs, and according to records, such devices are known to have the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Mao Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

And according to my repeated identification, I didn't see that the underground tomb we were in at this time had the specifications of the imperial tomb, even if the outside was full of ancient costumes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but I don't seem to remember that there was anyone in the Southern Barbarians who was ashamed to ascend the throne and claim the emperor during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

After listening to this, the fat man stopped, turned around and asked me, "Your uncle, is there a mechanism?" ”

I nodded, indicating that I didn't run.

The fat man thought for a moment and asked Cailiu, "Hey, woman, what do you think?" ”

Cailiu tugged at the colorful object on his neck, shook his head and didn't answer.

I reassured the two of them not to be too nervous, it would be better to take it easy, compared to the kind of living things under the giant stone figurines, it is easier to deal with dead things that need to be triggered by artificiality, so everyone should try to be cautious.

The fat man twisted his eyebrows and nodded, and sent the small leaf on his back, and the three of us cautiously continued to slowly move down the stone steps.

The deeper we walked down the stone steps, the more humid the air around the tomb became, and there seemed to be a smell of sour rancid smell between our mouths and noses, and what was worse was that the smell was still getting thicker, and we were almost suffocating. Everyone was bored and didn't know what to do, and the stone steps under their feet suddenly disappeared, and a wide space immediately appeared in front of us.

I sighed, and I wondered, where have we been? Haven't you reached the main chamber yet? I looked at the area behind the bronze stone bridge in the eleventh cave of the Liao Tomb very similarly, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is not, this can't be the kind of illegal building that has an underground ancient building, right? What about the good crossbow machine?

As soon as I thought of those corpses with ice crystals all over the body and glowing red fluorescent, I couldn't stop my hair straightening, and I remembered something that I hadn't had time to ask before, so I turned my head and wanted to ask Cailiu, what kind of person would raise that kind of thing, but I saw Cailiu's eyes shooting into the darkness in front of everyone at this time, and I was immediately choked.

We often meet elementary school students to write essays about a child or an old man's eyes are bright, in fact, this is not true, most of the bright eyes have visions, it looks a little creepy, such as the colorful willow in front of the ancient building, in the fox cave, and in the here and now. After the first two encounters, I have long regarded the ghost eyes of Cailiu as a warning light, once it is lit, it must be extraordinary, the first time is a corpse, the second time is a corpse, this time I don't know what it will be.

It's better if you don't want to, but after careful combing, I found that it seems to be the case, judging from the dangers we encountered along the way, Cailiu only seems to have a reaction to all kinds of corpse transformation zongzi, and has no feeling for the size of the mutant creatures, which ......

Cailiu, this girl looks as if she was born to dig up ancient tombs.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be stunned, this little girl came to save me in the Azigzag ancient mound under the Liao Tomb, and then robbed the tomb by the way...... Or did you sell my personal favor in the process of robbing the tomb?

I looked at this cold and glamorous woman whose background and motives and purposes were completely mysterious, but she was a life-saving benefactor, and I really had all kinds of tastes in my heart, and it was difficult to entertain people, but now is not the time for the city government to go to the army, and many questions about Cailiu will wait until I see my father to ask them one by one, just like she said before.

The fat man seemed to notice the strange change in Cailiu, and he looked at me directly, and I shook my head at him to keep him silent, and after a while, Cailiu said to me and the fat man, "Be careful. ”

I nodded my head again and again, and I didn't know what to say to the fat man, so I just told him to take care of his feet and not touch anything. The fat man is not stupid, he seems to remember what happened in the fox cave, and he also nodded back to me to show that he understands.

At this time, Xiao Ye on the fat man's back woke up for the second time, and as soon as his eyes opened, he found himself lying on top of the fat man, and as soon as his face turned red, he beckoned the fat man to let her go down quickly. The fat man didn't grind, he put Xiao Ye down on the ground with three times and five divided by two, and asked her how she felt. Xiao Ye blushed and nodded to indicate that it was okay, but his feet hit the ground, and he hurriedly looked around.

"Looking for what?" I asked her.

"Just ...... What about that stalker just now? ”

Xiao Ye looked nervously at the dim space in front of her, and said tremblingly, her whole body was still trembling uncontrollably when she said this, her face was blue and her lips were white, and there were tears in her eyes - obviously she was frightened.

"What? What's that? "Neither the fat man nor I understood.

Xiao Yelian gestured to us with a hint of explanation, "That's it, it's the thing that chased us on the suspension bridge just now. ”

Her gesture, I immediately thought of the rows of half-dead corpses with black feet and limbs wandering around, and I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach. I didn't expect this thing to have a literary name.

"Hey? Do you know that thing? "Fat man Yile, looking at his appearance, he probably thinks that since Xiao Ye, this girl, knows what that monster is, she must also know where its cover door is.

Xiao Ye nodded worriedly, and told us that the thing is called a wild firefly, it is an ancient creature, and the Mongolian death insects rumored in the desert belong to the same family, but including the Mongolian death insects, these terrifying species should have long been extinct, and even fossils have not been found, and they are completely legendary-level creatures, and it is not even easy to say whether they exist, she has only heard about them in some extracurricular reading materials, but she did not expect to meet them in person this time in the ancient tomb.

It is said that this creature likes to calm between the silt and decay, and the dozens of pairs of compound eyes on the head of the male will glow like fireflies in the dark environment, so it is called "firefly", and the brute entanglement is an ancient saying, which means piercing and strangulation, this kind of insect drives away cold and likes heat, likes to drill into the abdominal cavity of humans and animals, and is willing to fade away when the stumps of the prey are rotted and exposed, and then find new prey, repeat the steps of strangulation and puncture.

It is recorded in the book that there are no sharp teeth in the mouthparts of the wild firefly, and the way of eating is somewhat similar to that of the footless reptile snake, except that the snake is by swallowing into the stomach to corrode and melt the prey, and the wild firefly is to rely on the mouthparts torn open in the throat to suck and dissolve the internal organs of the prey, and the most lethal thing about this ancient creature is the two tentacles under its head, like two soft swords, usually wielded at will, when it catches the prey, it can sharpen iron like mud, directly cut off people and animals from the middle, suck out the organs in their chests and then cut off the head and neck, and then drill into the short body.
