In the tent, there was a dead silence, and the four people were limp on the ground, panting for breath. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoA dark thief cave on the ground exudes a terrifying aura, and there is a bloody corpse parked on the ground next to the thief hole, and what is even more strange is that this bloody corpse actually exudes a penetrating smile......

"You can't make a sound?" Ni Lao wiped the sweat from his head and looked at Ni Si with some doubts.

Ni Si, who was sitting on the side, nodded, his hands kept drawing, obviously he had no clue for a while that he would suddenly lose his voice.

"Damn, it's not really a ghost, right, if you go down and come up again, you'll be dumb?" The bald man clearly didn't quite believe what was happening in front of him.

"What the hell would just make people dumb?" Ma Wu glanced at the bald man and asked lukewarmly.

"Grandma's, it's like the ghost is your relative."

"Are you scared?"

"Phew, Lao Tzu is not afraid, he is just talking about things. Even if there are really ten zongzi, Lao Tzu will still cut them! The bald man clenched the steel knife in his hand again, and looked at Ma Wu with some provocation.

"Enough!" Ni Lao's angry shouting completely ended the quarrel between the two, and he got up and slowly approached Lao Hu's corpse and began to examine it carefully.

In fact, at this time, Ni Lao knew very well in his heart that only ensuring the safety in the thief cave was the most important thing. When the storm does come, the only place to save life is inside the cave. At present, figuring out the cause of Lao Hu's death is the only way to ensure the safety of the cave theft. Perhaps the only way to defend against the insecurity of the burglars......

Ni Lao began to carefully and repeatedly examine Lao Hu's corpse, but his brows became more and more condensed. Old Hu's flesh-and-blood face was embedded with countless unknown tiny, spherical objects. When Ni Lao opened Lao Hu's tightly closed smiling mouth, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill welling up in his heart.

"It seems that Lao Hu died like this!" Ni Lao said to himself with a cold face.

The three people on the side heard Ni Lao's words, and they all hurriedly gathered around to look at Lao Hu's mouth. His mouth was filled with dense earth and stones, and the earth and stones seemed to be mixed with some strange tiny spherical objects.

"What's this round little thing!!?" The bald man stared at the unknown globular objects with wide eyes.

"I don't know what it is, but I guessed what it was for." After that, Ni Lao took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his waist bag and slowly stretched them into Lao Hu's mouth. Then, he carefully took a small ball out of the earth and rock, and looked at the kerosene lamp carefully.

The small round ball is extremely small and delicate, the diameter is probably less than one centimeter, and the material should be bronze. At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary bronze ball. But if you look closely, you will find that the surface of the small round ball is shockingly covered with dense slender spikes like sea urchins, which makes people's spines tingle and uncomfortable.

"Is this a mechanism?" Ma Wu also understood what Ni Lao meant at this time.

"Well, if I guessed correctly...... Ni Lao tore open Lao Hu's blood-soaked shirt, and suddenly a bloody body appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and countless copper thorn balls were densely pierced on the body, and some had even fallen deep into the flesh.

"What a powerful mechanism" Ma Wu couldn't help but gasp.

"Grandma's! Who can tell Lao Tzu, what the hell is going on?! What mechanism?! The bald man was even more confused at this time, and became a little annoyed.

The small copper ball held by the veteran Ni shook in front of the bald man, and said: "Since ancient times, there is no doubt that there are no exquisite and terrifying anti-theft mechanisms in the ancient tombs of the princes and princes. But the organ is the organ, and everything changes is inseparable from its origin, and after all, it is still inseparable from the sword, crossbow and spring. We and other people who have been inverted have been making a living from inverted dou'er all year round, and most of the mechanism styles are also well understood. ”

The bald man pondered for a moment and nodded, agreeing with what Ni Lao said.

"But this is the first time I've seen this kind of mechanism, and it's set up outside the tomb." Ni Lao shook the copper thorn ball in his hand again.

"This ball of copper spikes may seem inconspicuous as dirt and stone, but if you look closely, you will see that the surface is covered with sharp spikes. I guess that after the owner of this dungeon was buried, countless of these copper spike balls were mixed into the soil closest to the dungeon. In this way, when someone wants to force their way into the underground palace by playing the thief hole, because the light in the thief cave is dark, the size of the copper ball is not much different from the earth and stone, so it is naturally difficult for people to pay attention. While digging the thief hole, this copper ball will inadvertently spread all over the thief hole, forming countless terrifying thorns. ”

"Ahh Grandma's! It's poisonous!! After listening to Ni Lao's words, the bald man suddenly realized.

"I guess Lao Hu was accidentally hit by this kind of mechanism, and screamed in pain, but you mistakenly thought that he had an accident, so you pulled the hemp rope vigorously to save him. As a result, he accidentally fell under the sudden strong pulling force, and was forcibly dragged back by you. And the ground in the thief cave has already been full of thorns, without the protection of shoes, the flesh of the old beard, on the thorns by your constant drag, unbearable pain he cut the hemp rope himself in order to protect himself. Ni Lao frowned and said his guess about the cause of Lao Hu's death.

"That'...... Didn't we kill Lao Hu? The bald man imagined the painful situation of Lao Hu being dragged on the ground thorns, and a chill surged in his heart.

"Why didn't Lao Hu call us? Tell us to stop? Ma Wu thought for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"Because he should be speechless......" Ni Lao had a calm face and pointed to Ni Si on the side.

"Poison!? This spike has been soaked in poison! Ma Wu immediately reacted, with a look of astonishment.

"I don't know what kind of poison it is, but apparently one of its effects is to destroy the body's vocal tract." After speaking, Ni Lao looked at Ni Si beside him with some worry.

Ni Si's eyes crossed with gratitude, and he patted his chest, showing that he was not otherwise uncomfortable.

"Grandma's, what is he laughing at? And why is it that the mouth is full of steel balls and dirt? The bald man asked suspiciously.

"I can't guess this, maybe there's something going on down there......" Ni Lao shook his head and seemed to be puzzled by this question. However, I deduce that if we don't go deeper tonight and only take shelter from the storm near the entrance to the cave, it shouldn't be too dangerous. ”

There was silence in the tent again, "We killed Lao Hu?", "What else happened?" "Shouldn't it be dangerous?", these words seemed to be repeated in everyone's ears like magic, Lao Hu's blood-skinned corpse, and the even more weird smile, which cast a deep haze on everyone's heart......

"Boom!" Huge lightning accompanied by the earth-shattering thunder streaked across the sky, like an angry thunder god sending down his furious punishment, or like a dragon galloping in the sky to stay up and glide in the vast grassland and dark night sky. In an instant, it was already pouring rain, and the bean-sized raindrops were mercilessly lapping the canvas on the tent.

"Click!!" Finally, the other support frame could not escape the attack of the strong wind, and the tent instantly tilted to one side and fell.

"I don't have time to care about that much!" Ni Lao's hoarse shouts made everyone wake up instantly.

Indeed, there is really no time to care so much at the moment, everyone knows very well in their hearts, compared to the unknown horror brought by the cave robbery, the lethality of the grassland storm is more direct. There may still be life in the cave, but if you stay on the ground to fight against this terrible force of nature, you will surely die.

Ni Si took the lead in jumping into the thief hole with the hemp rope tied again, and Ni Lao tied the rope and was about to jump in, but the bald man asked, "What should he do?" Ni Lao followed the direction of the bald man's finger and saw the mustache that was still in a coma. Bring it on! With that, he jumped in.

"Trouble, grandma's! Lao Tzu and you are a mother. The bald man snorted again, walked over and threw him into the cave with his unconscious mustache, and then jumped into it himself. For a while, only the bodies of Ma Wu and Lao Hu were left in the tent.

Ma Wu looked at the corpse that had been unrecognizable, and his eyes were unconsciously full of sadness. But when his eyes came into contact with Lao Hu's weird smile again, a strong sense of foreboding suddenly came to his heart......

"Click!!" With the breaking of another support frame, the roof of the shed finally collapsed, and Ma Wu didn't have time to think about it at this time, so he gritted his teeth and jumped into the dark thief hole......

This night, for the reckless and endless grassland, for the frightened Dou'er people, and even for the wheel of fate, it is destined to be unpeaceful......
