Chapter 19: Weird
Looking at the severed rope in his hand, the old man was shocked.
'What's going on?' Why did he cut the ropes? ’
Looking at the dark hole in front of me, it was like a gate to hell, wanting to devour one life after another.
I stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while, but there was no sound from there. The old man waited for a while, but there was still no news, he simply shouted towards the entrance of the cave: "Zuo Qingcang, are you still there?" If you hear it, reply to me a few words. ”
There was no response in the dark cave, only the old man's voice continued to echo back and forth in the hole.
Then the old man shouted a few more times, but no matter how he shouted, Zuo Qingcang did not respond. It was as if he had completely disappeared into this thief hole.
"What's going on with this guy? If there is no good signal, he will not answer. Although he knew that with Zuo Qingcang's calmness, the situation in front of him must have been a last resort, but he never got a response from the other party, which still made the old man's heart full of anxiety.
After a few minutes, gritting his teeth, the old man simply tied the other end of the rope to the stone statue, and walked towards the underground thief hole.
"Damn, fight." He also knew the current situation, the entire ancient tomb was already a Jedi, and there was no way out for him and Zuo Qingcang except to fight hard.
The old man tugged at the rope on his arm, took a deep breath, and went down the hole. The black-looking thief cave is actually not deep, no, it should be said that its vertical height is not high, only one or two meters above the ground, because like the previous No. 2 thief cave, its first half is a horizontal route.
However, unlike the second thief hole, the route of the first thief hole is more tortuous, and he turns around, not like the previous second thief hole, at least in the horizontal part of the route is straight.
The old man stroked the cold earth, and then the faint light of the Night Pearl, little by little, crawled into the depths of the thief cave. But the Night Pearl is only the Night Pearl after all, and the scope of light is very limited, starting from the position of about a meter before and after the old man, both ends of the passage have been swallowed up by darkness.
In this environment, it is real darkness without any trace of light. The old man's heartbeat couldn't help but get worse, and the heavier his breathing became.
At first, he also planned to call Zuo Qingcang's name in the thief cave. But the pressure brought by the invisible darkness, like the cold from the Nine Shadows, tightly choked his heart, making him dare not shout in this darkness at all.
A few minutes later, a bright light finally appeared in front of the old man's eyes, and he immediately quickened his degree and ran towards the bright light.
What he didn't notice was that, unlike the previous No. 2 Thief Cave, the No. 1 Thief Cave was excavated not from above but below after the horizontal passage had passed.
In other words, the No. 1 thief cave leads to the lower level of the ancient tomb.
The old man finally climbed to the entrance of the robbery cave, and there was a stone chamber outside, and the thief cave opened in the stone chamber, and the junction between the wall and the roof led horizontally to the stone chamber.
The stone chamber was brightly lit, dyeing the entire room golden. On the eaves, the legendary everlasting lamp is releasing light and heat. The fire he saw in the cave just now obviously came from this.
In the three directions of the room, the old man saw a total of three passages shrouded in darkness and bottomless.
But this is not the most attractive to him, now the most attractive thing is the middle of the passage, Zuo Qingcang's tall figure, when he saw the old man's gaze, the other party immediately made a silent gesture, forcing the old man to say what he wanted to say back.
'What's wrong?' Then Zuo Qingcang pointed to the floor of the hall, the old man saw nothing at first glance, but when he looked at it for a while, his face changed greatly, and he felt a cold air slowly coming out of his back.
He looked closely, and only then did he realize that on the floor of the stone chamber, a layer of transparent liquid covered the entire floor of the stone chamber. In contrast to the walls and the floor, this layer of slime is at least half a meter thick.
'Corpse Monster ......' Tong Guò Zuo Qingcang's mouth shape, he confirmed this judgment, and now on the floor of the stone room is a huge corpse monster, covering dozens of square meters of ground.
This is exactly the reason why Zuo Qingcang did not speak loudly.
In fact, because of the almost completely transparent relationship between this corpse monster, when Zuo Qingcang had entered the stone room, he was attacked by the other party, and a strong force wanted to grab him and wrap him in transparent slime, and the two constantly struggled with each other's feet, which was the reason why the old man felt that the rope was being dragged hard.
But fortunately, Zuo Qingcang's strength at this time increased greatly, and with his strong muscle strength and explosive power, he actually tried his best to break free from the shackles of the corpse monster, and at the same time, in order to escape, he directly cut the rope and fled into the passage. And after he entered the passage, the corpse monster did not chase again.
However, in this way, he also lost contact with the old man. In his guess, the old man had two possibilities: leaving and entering to find him. So he decided to wait here for half an hour, and if the old man hadn't come in after half an hour, he would go down the passage alone.
And during this time, he also took a good look at the corpse monster in front of him.
'The transparent body seems to be decomposed because all the food in the body has been absorbed and decomposed. ’
And judging by the way this corpse looks and the state he just attacked me, is it because of lack of food and has fallen into some kind of dormancy? ’
Zuo Qingcang tried a few times, and now as long as he didn't touch this huge corpse monster and didn't make a loud noise, this corpse monster wouldn't attack him, he suspected that this corpse monster had fallen into some kind of dormant state, and the initial attack he was attacked was probably just an instinct. It may even be that this corpse monster is extremely weak and unable to defeat Zuo Qingcang.
However, Zuo Qingcang didn't test this, as long as he knew that he didn't get close to him and didn't take the initiative to make a sound, this corpse monster wouldn't attack him. After all, this is not a game, and even if he can kill this corpse monster, Zuo Qingcang will not do any good at all, but will have to risk that this corpse monster may wake up from its dormancy.
If he was really dormant, then judging from the state of his feet with Zuo Qingcang just now, once he woke up, he would use all his strength, and with this huge size, it would definitely not be something that Zuo Qingcang could deal with casually.
Just when Zuo Qingcang was thinking this, it was the old man who climbed to the entrance of the thief cave. After making a silent gesture to stop the old man from making a sound, Zuo Qingcang prompted him to look at the ground again.
After seeing the other party's ugly face, Zuo Qingcang knew that the other party had already appeared as a corpse monster on the ground.
