Chapter 41: The Floating Pit

I looked at Cao Lao Liu in front of me and the candles lit on the ground, and knew that Cao Lao Liu was carrying out the ritual before entering the tomb, which seems to be the communication between people and ghosts, if this kind of ritual is put in the eyes of people now, this seems to be a feeling of feudal superstition, but in the past, this is indeed a way to explore the risks of the tomb, if you really want to give a scientific explanation for this behavior, it is not difficult. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In the tomb due to the long-term closed state, it is very likely that there is a dangerous gas or lack of oxygen in the tomb, if you enter the tomb, people are likely to die in the tomb, before entering the tomb at the entrance of the tomb to light a candle, you can know the oxygen content in the tomb, if the oxygen can be used for a normal life, then the lit candle will always burn, and if the candle is extinguished, then there is danger in the tomb, so the tomb robber will choose not to enter the tomb.

Wang De looked at Cao Lao Liu with a puzzled face and said, "I said Old Man Cao, what the hell are you doing, you have to fix these things when you enter a tomb." ”

Wang De didn't seem to understand Cao Laoliu's approach, although Wang De complained about Cao Laoliu, but Cao Laoliu still carried out his own behavior and didn't pay attention to Wang De's words at all.

After a long time, Cao Lao Liu stood up and said to me, "Captain Song, you can enter the tomb." ”

"Then let's hurry up!" With that, I motioned for everyone to move on.

The tomb is made of green bricks, the green bricks are the same as the green bricks in the fake tomb, the tomb beasts and reliefs on both sides of the tomb show the style of Chu during the Warring States Period, it seems that this tomb is indeed an ancient tomb in the Warring States Period, the luxury of this ancient tomb makes me feel emotional, if this is really a wizard's tomb, then this wizard does have an extraordinary status.

I walked in front of everyone with Yang Zhi Wangde, the tomb road twisted and turned, and after a while, I lost the sense of direction, the sense of direction seems to be the easiest thing for people to lose in the case of no direction coordinates underground, when I find myself losing my sense of direction, I seem to feel that walking in the tomb is a very painful thing, because I can only follow the mechanical progress of the tomb.

Just as I was moving aimlessly, I suddenly felt a softness under my feet, as if the ground under my feet was like a sponge, and I felt like I was stepping on an inflatable mattress. My nerves tensed immediately.

"Everybody don't move." I stretched out my arms to stop the crowd from moving forward.

"What's wrong?" A-Ning asked eagerly.

I looked down at the ground under my feet and found that the ground under my feet would sink a little, and I moved my steps carefully, and every time I took a step forward, the ground that had been sunken would float again, and the place where I landed would sink again. What's going on, is this a mechanism in the tomb?

I stopped, turned my head and asked, "Look at your feet, do you have sunk into the place you stepped on?" ”

"yes, how did the ground sink in."

"It's soft, it's fun."

"What's going on, is there any mechanism here?"

Everyone saw that the ground under their feet had sunk down, and they kept moving their feet curiously, looking at the ground in a daze.

"Poof"

A sound similar to the explosion of a leather ball suddenly came from the feet of a soldier, only to see a crack in the ground under the soldier's feet, and then a stream of silver liquid gushed out of the gap instantly surrounded the soldier's body, the soldier didn't seem to react, just watched the silver-white liquid on his body slowly rise from his feet down his body, until the liquid reached his chest, he suddenly shouted in horror, but he didn't scream a few times, The silver liquid quickly covered him, and he opened his mouth in horror, but immediately stood there as if he had been frozen, and then slowly began to sink. First his feet sank under the ground, and then the ground slowly submerged to his knees. A soldier near him held out his hand and tried to go over and grab him.

"Don't touch him, and don't move everyone's feet." I reacted suddenly, shouting at the outstretched soldier.

The soldier heard the shout, and immediately withdrew his outstretched hand, and all eyes were on the sinking soldier, the sinking continued, but the soldier did not move, and at this time he had turned into a silver statue, slowly sinking until the ground completely submerged him.

"What's going on? What about people? Wang De watched in horror as the cracked ground slowly closed down, and he could no longer control his emotions and shouted loudly.

The people around couldn't help but get nervous, and a few soldiers quickened their pace, trying to quickly walk away from the cannibalistic ground.

"Don't move, everyone, this is a trap, hurry up and get down." Cao Lao Liu shouted at the soldiers. Cao Lao Liu shouted and quickly fell to the ground.

Seeing Cao Lao Liu lying on the ground, all of us immediately looked like Cao Lao Liu and lay on the soft ground.

Lying on the ground, I felt that the ground below me seemed to be a layer of floating soil, and underneath the floating soil was the silver liquid that had just gushed out, and thinking about the silver liquid that had swallowed the soldier just now, I thought of mercury.

"Everyone, don't move, let the people in front of you slowly climb out first." Cao Lao Liu lay on the ground and said nervously.

At this time, I was at the front of everyone, so I had to slowly move forward on the ground, carefully observing the ground's reaction as I moved, for fear that the ground would suddenly crack and the silver-white liquid would gush again. Maybe when I was lying on the ground, the force area of the ground increased, and the degree of floating soil sinking was obviously much lighter than when I was standing on the ground before, I slowly moved my body, wanting to get out of this man-eating pit earlier, I was very anxious, but I could only move forward slowly.

Slowly, slowly, I climbed out of the distance of more than ten meters, and with a hard hand of my hand, I found that the ground under my hand was no longer as soft as it used to be, and I thought that this should be the edge of the floating soil.

"How is Brother Xiao Jiang, why did you stop?" Aning shouted from behind me.

I pounded the ground with my hand to make sure that the ground in front of me was indeed not floating soil, and I turned my head vigorously and shouted to the person lying behind me, "There is no floating soil in front of me." ”

"Be careful." Cao Lao Liu shouted.

I turned my head and continued to move my body slowly, although I was close to the safe area, but the more I got to this time, the more careful I became, because the more this time, the more dangerous it was, and maybe my carelessness could kill me.
