Chapter Forty-Eight: One Less Man
And so it came in?
Meng Xin's face was surprised, he had been engaged in the tomb robbery industry for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, which saved his work, and he didn't even have to fight the robbery hole, and came in directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fat man also noticed the changes around him, and showed a look of surprise, "What are we ...... Came in? ”
With the light of the torch, Meng Xin saw the vivid patterns carved on the wall, which was a mural, although it was valuable, but it could not be taken away.
At least Meng Xin was sure of one thing, this should not be an illusion, they did come in.
"I feel something isn't right."
Not only the fat man, Meng Xin also felt deeply incredible, but there were too many strange things about this mountain for the three of them, and it was nothing more.
"Hey, where's Lao Yuan?" The fat man suddenly realized that it was supposed to be three people, but now, it was the two of them.
Yes, Lao Yuan, Meng Xin also just remembered that there is such a number one person, but this can't be blamed on the two of them, it can only show that Lao Yuan's sense of existence is really low.
However, where is he, and besides, the tent is gone, and Lao Yuan should still be in the tent.
"Are we the only two of us coming in?" The fat man frowned, this is not good news, originally with those two ordinary people, he still dislikes the number of people, now it's okay, there are only two people left.
Meng Xin glanced around, but didn't see Lao Yuan's figure, so he could only nod helplessly, for now,
Lao Yuan, it's really gone.
The tomb was very wide, with torches and braziers on both sides, and since the two of them didn't know how they got in, there were now two paths in front of them.
Go forward, or go back?
"In your experience, which direction should we go?" The fat man looked at Meng Xin, he knew that Meng Xin had done this before, and he should have a lot of experience in this area.
But Meng Xin was destined to disappoint him, first of all, this place was full of strangeness, which was obviously different from ordinary tombs, and secondly, they suddenly appeared in this place with no head and no tail, who knows where to go?
"You look at the mural on the wall, the faces of the characters in it are facing, they are all facing one direction, and according to the instructions of the mural, we go forward."
"Are you sure?"
"Not sure."
“……”
However, the two didn't bother with too much time, and Meng Xin and the fat man finally followed the mural's prompts.
Not long after they were gone, the fires on both sides of the tomb faded, and slowly, until at last, the flames were completely extinguished, and then everything went into darkness as if nothing had happened.
However, if one listens closely, one will feel a faint moan, and a squeak of emotion.
……
Under the faint light of the fire, the two groped their way through the tomb, Meng Xin cautiously observed the surrounding situation, and at the same time his body was in a state of high tension, as long as there was a stir, he would switch to the form of a skeleton.
Since absorbing the ghost qi that day, Meng Xin's body is not a simple ghost man bloodline, but through the transformation of the ghost qi, it has become a mutated bloodline independent of the ordinary bloodline, because the form of the new bloodline looks like a skeleton wrapped in the skin of a dead man, so Meng Xin is customarily called the skeleton bloodline.
Moreover, after a few days of exploration, Meng Xin discovered that the abilities that originally belonged to the ghost man were inherited by him intact, and in addition, there were other abilities that Meng Xin had not yet figured out.
At least for now, after the bloodline mutation, everything is fine except for the eerie and disgusting appearance of the form.
The fat man on the side took out his more than a foot long whisk, held it with one hand, and put the other end of the whisk on his other arm.
Like this tomb, the two didn't stop walking for long, only to see that the murals on both sides of the tomb disappeared, Meng Xin and the fat man glanced at each other, obviously, they had reached the end of the tomb.
The two continued to move forward, and sure enough, after turning a corner, the vision in front of them suddenly became wider, and a space that was several times wider than the tomb road appeared in front of them.
Meng Xin checked carefully, there were no traps or anything like that around, this Meng Xin was not very strange, even if there were some traps before, I am afraid that they had been waded through the water by the people who came in before, although they came late, but undoubtedly saved a lot of work.
When he walked to the center, he found that this space was circular, and there were several similar tombs around them, so it seemed that even if they had taken the opposite direction before, the final result would probably be the same, and they would all come to this place.
"What is this table for, playing chess?"
Meng Xinsheng looked at it, and saw that the fat man was walking towards a platform more than one meter high, and when the platform was close, the fat man immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hands, "Uh, this platform is too smelly, what is this black layer above?" ”
Meng Xin walked over, felt the oncoming fishy smell and couldn't help but hold his breath, and glanced at the table that the fat man said, obviously this is not used to play chess.
"This is supposed to be a sacrificial altar." Meng Xin touched the platform with his hand, and the black on it should be the blood that the person who built this tomb deliberately sprinkled on the altar to pay tribute to the dead, but at this time, the blood on the altar has long dried up.
"The altar?"
Meng Xin nodded and looked at the square platform, "The Bible says that after Jesus was captured by the Romans, he was crucified, and the cross was placed on this altar. ”
"I know that, but what does it have to do with the tomb?"
Hearing the fat man's inquiry, Meng Xin didn't know what the connection between the two was, maybe the construction of this altar was really just for sacrificial purposes.
"There's a door here."
Meng Xin looked around, there was a tomb in each of the four directions, but this place was different from other places, it was a door, and it seemed that this door was the real entrance.
The fat man threw the dust over, and the huge pressure rushed to the door, the fat man was going to forcibly break the door, at the same time, Meng Xin's pupils shrank, with the blessing of the dust, the strength of the fat man, as if he had turned up a lot, undoubtedly, this dust was a good thing.
However, Meng Xin only glanced at it, and once again shifted his gaze to the door.
"Open!"
The fat man shouted, and then, the iron door slowly rose upward, obviously, the fat man was still measured, and did not choose to directly break the door and destroy it, but used his strength to forcibly start the switch.
Shout!
The moment the door opened, two arrows suddenly shot out of it, rushing head-on at the two people who were staying outside.
Meng Xinyi, who had been on guard for a long time, turned sideways and could dodge, because he knew that when he opened the door, it was often the most dangerous time.
And the fat man immediately noticed the sudden appearance of the arrow, and cursed in his mouth, but the kung fu in his hand was not idle, and he swept away the dust and changed the direction of the arrow.
The arrow that changed direction pierced straight into the wall not far behind the fat man, and with the insertion of the arrow, the stones on the wall exploded with a "bang".
This is an armor-piercing arrow!
Aware of this detail, Meng Xin immediately realized that it was not a mechanism that might be a ghost, but that other members were playing tricks.
"What a, dare to engage in a sneak attack!"
The fat man has more seniority, and of course he is more likely to realize that this kind of arrow with attributes can only be found on the Nightmare Platform, and it is impossible for it to be in the hands of others.
But it appeared here, what that meant, of course the fat man knew, and it was clear that they had met the other members.
At this time, Meng Xin did not hesitate to switch forms, and in an instant, the smell of decay came to his face, and the stench on his body even overshadowed the smell on the altar.
Met other members here, and was also released by other members of the dark arrow, Meng Xin didn't know what the other party was from, if the other party really didn't care about the opposition of the nightmare platform and fought with them, then there was nothing to say, so he could only prepare for the battle first.
Although the fat man was a little excited verbally, he didn't act rashly, but in private, like Meng Xin, he thought about all his plans.
The iron door was completely opened, and Meng Xin also saw the other party's appearance clearly.
There are three people on the other side, one of the young man's body faintly exudes wisps of electric light, it is possible that his strengthening type is related to thunder and lightning, and there is also a man wearing a hood, he can't see his age clearly, but Meng Xin saw the bow and arrow basket behind him and the bow in his hand, not surprisingly, the two dark arrows just now were shot by this hooded man.
In addition, there is a woman with a plump figure, but her crimson eyes and fangs looming at the corners of her mouth all reveal her vampire blood.
Moreover, what Meng Xin did not expect was that these three were not Chinese, but had the faces of Westerners.
"I'm rubbing, it's still three foreign devils!" After the fat man saw the other party clearly, he was a little surprised, "Yo, there is a foreign girl, let the fat man and I have a cool time, and I don't care about your sneak attack." ”
As if he felt Meng Xin's surprise, the fat man explained: "I forgot to tell you, Westerners also use this nightmare platform, and they have experienced a lot of mission worlds, and occasionally they will meet them in the mission, I have had that time before, it was a mission of the East-West melee, by the way, the scene at that time, it felt like a world war." ”
Meng Xin can be regarded as an eye-opener today, before his two mission world members were Chinese, thinking that this is the exclusive use of the Chinese, did not expect that in other parts of the world, this kind of thing also happened, but it is not unreasonable to think about it, they all live in the same world, they can't favor one over the other, right?
