I followed the prestige, and sure enough, on the ground around the circular altar, a few bronze stone pillars were slowly poking out from the ground that were enough for two and three people to embrace, although it was weird, but it was also a godsend, I originally planned to let everyone climb up first, although I couldn't avoid the terrifying thing under the water behind me, but at least I could first avoid the tsunami-like corpse tide at the tip of the waves, and when these countless walking corpses came into contact with the cluster of ghosts, grass and monsters in front of us, we would take advantage of the chaos to pass through, of course, if we were lucky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm thinking about it, and I can only gamble at this time! I was about to beckon everyone to go up the bronze stone pillar, when Cailiu suddenly asked me.

"Is there a canal on the ground?!"

Hearing her question, I moved my gaze to the ground, and I was shocked to realize that the entire circular altar floor was full of bird and insect inscriptions, full of chiseled carvings, and in the middle of these inscriptions there were indeed ditches around the altar, and at a glance there were about three or four, derived from the outside to the inside, and the cluster of ghosts, grasses, and vines in the center was embraced in the middle.

I hurriedly replied to Cailiu and told her that there were indeed ditches on the ground, about two or three meters wide, but they were filled with black blood and I couldn't tell how deep they were, and I promised that we wouldn't go near those stinky ditches, so don't worry, it's the right thing to do now.

I thought that Cailiu was worried that her vision would be blocked and she accidentally fell into it, but she didn't want this little girl to hear me say that there was a canal, so she immediately waved her hand and said to us urgently:

"Don't touch those Quartet Soul Pillars, hurry up and go into the drain!"

Yes?

The fat man and I were stunned for a moment, both wondering if they had heard it wrong, Cailiu seemed to have extraordinary ear power, and felt that the two of us were not moving, and added: "Before entering the water, shoot a flare at the emperor hidden corpse vine fern in front of you!" ”

After finishing speaking, she directly ran into the blood water ditch not far in front of her, not only that, but also dived, and in a moment, only layers of ripples and a series of blisters were left on the water surface of the ditch, and the shadow of the colorful willow could not be seen again.

I almost didn't carry it in one breath, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, I patted the fat man and gritted my teeth, and followed in; Although the fat man didn't quite understand why Tingcailiu let himself shoot the flare, he didn't hesitate at this time, touched the backpack behind him, and pounded it three times and two times, and rushed at the tentacle-like plants that were five or six stories high, "Bang!" As soon as the flare came out of his hand, he looked at the dark blue corpse tide behind him, and as soon as he bit his back molars, he jumped into the bloody ditch.

The liquid in the canal is very similar to the texture of underground water, but as soon as I enter the water, the cold and biting chill instantly swallows up the residual temperature of my whole body, which feels like falling into an ice hole in the middle of winter, my whole body is uncontrollably shrunk into a ball, my teeth are creaking, and I don't know if it is an auditory hallucination, I always feel that there has been a woman's screaming sound under the surface of the water in my ears, which makes me feel uneasy.

Before I got into the water, I was holding my breath, but for a while I couldn't bear the temperature, and suddenly I floated to the surface of the water unconsciously, when my wrist suddenly became strained, and someone grabbed me and dragged me towards the depths of the blood.

I thought there was some monster in the water, but I was shocked to see that it was a colorful willow. The black cloth on her face had fallen off, but her eyes were always closed, she took me by the hand and shook her head slightly, I understood what she meant, so I had to hold my breath and continue to endure.

The time spent underwater was very slow, and I don't know how long I held it back, anyway, I felt that the center of gravity was shifting, and someone pulled me up to the water. When I got out of the water, I didn't care about anything else, I took a few deep breaths to relieve my strength, and coughed violently for a long time, and the surrounding scene gradually returned to clarity.

- There was no major movement behind me, and for some unknown reason, the underwater thing had disappeared, and I was stunned, and when I looked around, I found that even the fluorescent walking corpses that had been following one after another were almost gone.

This...... I didn't react for a moment, what's going on? Could it be that all those were hallucinations? I looked up and saw that the entire space above my head was a cluster of faint green circles, floating like fireflies...... What's going on?

The fat man and Cailiu have also climbed the ditch, Cailiu stood quietly, and the fat man sat on the ground and twisted the red blood on his clothes, I just wanted to say something, but I saw a green fluorescence fluttering down not far from the fat man, the fat man also saw it, moved his body and leaned over to take a look, I heard him surprised.

"Hey? What the is this? Fireflies without feet? ”

Before he finished speaking, Cailiu, who was standing on the side, suddenly shouted, "Don't touch that thing!" ”

This shout startled both of us at the same time, and the fat man was going to make a gesture to use something to play with the strange insects that shimmered on the ground, but when he heard Cailiu drink this, he immediately jumped up and hurriedly retreated many distances.

I listened in horror behind them. Can't touch it? There are so many heads overhead, who can do it all if they all fly down? And then again, where did all this stuff come from? I couldn't have noticed just now, huh?

"As long as you don't touch them, it's fine, but if you accidentally run one over, that's bad."

Cailiu still closed her eyes tightly, and after saying this lightly, she wrapped her eyes in a black cloth. I saw her twitch her nose, and I heard her turn her words around, and said viciously:

"Lord, I have appeared."

Then I remembered the flare that the fat man had shot before he went into the water, and hurriedly turned back to look at the plant that Cailiu called the Emperor Hidden Corpse Vine Fern.

This Emperor Hidden Corpse Vine Fern is actually quite similar to a rare vegetation called corpse flower in YN territory, corpse flower will take the initiative to kill the living creatures attached to itself in early spring and late autumn, and then simulate the corpse odor emitted by these insects, animals and even the corpses of fierce beasts, and spread it wildly, so as to attract some scavenging creatures to spread pollen for themselves, if you suddenly smell an unusually strong smell of corpse decay in the primeval forest, it is most likely to encounter corpse flowers.

However, there is no danger in this plant on weekdays, except for the foul smell, after all, its effective killing range is pitifully small, but the emperor hidden corpse vine fern in front of it is not so easy to deal with, according to legend, this semi-beast plant has existed since ancient times, but there are few records in the official history documents, and there are occasional glimpses in the text archaeology of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but unfortunately there are only a few words, so when Cailiu reported the name of this thing, although I have heard of it, it is almost equivalent to ignorance.

I turned my head to look over at this moment, and saw that the closed part of the center of the corpse vine fern had been melted out by the scorching lighting agent and a large hole more than half a person high, so I was able to peek inside a little bit, but I didn't expect that this place was really the main coffin of the tomb as Cailiu said.

The fat man's knowledge of tomb culture was almost as illiterate, but no matter how ignorant he was, he could still make out what was partially exposed from the pitcher plant-like stamens, so he took one look at it and asked me:

"Hey? How can there be a coffin in this flower bone? How did this get in? ”

To be honest, I don't know much about this problem, but no matter how unbelievable the phenomenon is, from a scientific point of view, some explanations can be found, such as what is certain at this time - obviously, this Emperor Hidden Corpse Vine Fern is a giant coffin.

"Hey, this pomp, the people lying in it are definitely not ordinary goods, Old Tang, do we want to steal now...... Ah no, do you want to take the test for this grandson's Gu? The fat man seemed a little tempted to hear my description, but out of respect for my profession, he still asked me symbolically.

In fact, even if he didn't ask, I expected that the coffin in front of me would have to be opened today, even if I didn't do it, Cailiu would find a way, and to be honest, I was already curious about the people lying inside or something else, but I didn't know if there was a potential danger, so I didn't dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step.

I thought to myself that this coffin was so strangely displayed that it was merciful to have a mechanism, and that there might be something more terrifying, and if I hadn't seen in my dreams how the meat grinder-like tentacles of this thing dealt with tomb robbers, I would have used it as firewood.

I simply told the fat man about the scene I saw in my dream, in order to deepen the educational significance, I also deliberately said it in the form of popular science, and the fat man listened to it again and again: "Hey damn it, it means that this colorful thing is about the same as a big octopus?" ”

I smiled bitterly, noncommittal, Cailiu listened to me on the side, and asked me thoughtlessly: "How do you know about these things of Emperor Yinxi?" ”

Her question surprised me, after all, Cailiu is not the kind of person who cares about everything, but since it is rare for her to ask, there is no reason to make a fuss, but I wanted to say that I learned about it at work, and I also took the opportunity to raise the value of the discipline of archaeology, who said that official archaeology is not as good as private tomb robbery? We are also technological. But after thinking about it, Cailiu is not an outsider, and there is no need for this, so he told her about the dream about the corpse vine fern in 1510.

I thought Cailiu would taunt me coldly after hearing it, but I didn't expect her to hear me say this, and immediately asked me how many times I had similar nightmares, I didn't look like she was joking, so I counted with my fingers, from stepping into the primeval forest to crossing the Yin Valley, and finally going deep into the ancient merchant tomb, I have done it about four times so far, except for the woman in the last dream covered with a ghost fox silver mask, the rest of the dreams are my mysteriously missing female colleague, that is, the murderer in Xiao Ye's mouth - Cao Xue.
