The fourth child's reaction caught me off guard, and when the master saw that the situation was not right, he immediately came over to check on the fourth child's situation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Cassia lit the torch again, and by the light of the fire, I found that the fourth child's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and the expression on his face was very uncomfortable to look at.

I shouted at him a few times, but it didn't work at all, and Cassia started pinching him. After tossing for a while, the fourth child woke up from his coma.

"Fourth, how did you do it? I haven't seen you like this before? Cassia was very puzzled by the fourth child's reaction just now.

At this time, the fourth child looked like he had walked in the ghost gate, and the whole person was a little prostration, and his eyes became dim for some reason. I helped him up, and he glanced behind him and gasped, "It's sick." ”

Master asked if he could hold on? The fourth child hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he was out of the way.

"There's an exit ahead, those things are uncertain, maybe they'll come back, we need to get out quickly." The fourth child took a few deep breaths, and his face returned to normal a little.

Several of them followed. If I'm not mistaken, there's a corpse gathering ground ahead. If that fellow of yours gets lost, he'll be led to that place nine times out of ten. "The fourth brother brought torches and beckoned us to leave here quickly.

We didn't dare to linger any longer, so we lifted our spirits and followed the camel Lao Si towards the exit.

Outside the exit is a large stone hall, although the torches are not very clear, but judging from the surrounding echoes, the space here is comparable to the scale of the back room in the underground palace above. And I noticed that the rock wall of the stone hall was coated with a layer of gypsum powder, and I have a deep memory of this thing now due to my previous experience with gold-eating ants.

The group slowly moved forward, and only after I gradually saw the situation here did I understand what the fourth child meant by "gathering corpses". Unlike other places in the labyrinth, the torches shine through, and the sarcophagi scattered throughout the stone hall make people shudder. At a glance, the dense scaly sarcophagus occupies almost the entire stone hall.

I couldn't move for a while, I couldn't tell what kind of stone this sarcophagus was made of, but the number was amazing. I don't understand how there are so many sarcophagi here, are they all the burial coffins of the tomb owner? But this number is too much, and there are more than 100 sarcophagi here. Moreover, the burial of living people has long been expressly prohibited, except for the earliest imperial tombs in the Han tombs, it is difficult to see the scene of living people being buried again.

The fourth child seems to be very impressed by this place, this kind of corpse gathering place is the place where the yin qi of the entire labyrinth is the strongest. No one believes anything that is unclean. There is no need to be reminded by the fourth child, we consciously try to stay away from the sarcophagus as much as possible so as not to get into trouble.

There was a dead silence all around, and there was no sign of any life. I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, so I tried not to look at the sarcophagi and looked around for the location of the exit.

And because the fourth said that if the guard was also trapped in the labyrinth, then he was most likely in this place. The master discussed, and let our soldiers divide into two ways and go separately to find the whereabouts of the guards.

Without further ado, we took the time to investigate here. Cassia and I walked all the way, and the sarcophagi here are all of the same style, and the style looks very ancient, not like a product of the Han Dynasty. We went back and forth looking for clues that the guards might have left behind, but after walking far enough, neither of us noticed anything out of the ordinary. The same is true for the Master and the Fourth, who have even begun to move closer in our direction.

It seems that the guards have not been to this place. I really didn't want to stay any longer, and I was about to join Master and them, when Cassia suddenly pulled me along.

"Xiaoshan, look at the sarcophagus in front of you."

There was a hint of flavor in Cassia Tone's tone that I couldn't fathom, and when I looked over, I realized that the sarcophagus that Cassia was referring to was different from what we had seen before. The top of this sarcophagus lies on the ground, and from our angle, we can see exactly what is going on inside the coffin.

I glanced at the corpse inside the sarcophagus and knew what Cassia had noted. He was eighty percent interested in the jade bracelet on the corpse's wrist.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly persuaded him not to do anything crooked. Until now, we didn't know what the danger was in this corpse gathering place, and the fact that the owner of the tomb had chosen to apply plaster powder here showed the importance of this place in the heart of the tomb owner, and he didn't want the gold eaters to spoil the place.

Cassia sighed and said, he understood the reason, but watching the treasure drain from his hands, he felt very uncomfortable. I persuaded him that a jade bracelet of that color was actually not worth much, and there was no need to take such a big risk for a bracelet. When it comes to the back, as long as the situation allows, I will take as much as you want, and I will never stop you.

Master and Fourth had already leaned towards us at this time. Since the guards haven't been here, we're not going to stay any longer. But when the fourth child saw the jade bracelet, he immediately froze. At the same time, there was an extremely incredible expression on his face.

"This, this. . No way! ”

He seemed to have seen something that made him unacceptable, and his already pale face was completely devoid of blood.

I was watching it inexplicably on the side, and my heart said what happened to the fourth child recently? It's just a bracelet, why does he react so much? Cassia thought that the fourth child was sick again, and was just about to speak. Suddenly, a strange "buzzing" sound came from inside the sarcophagus.

"What sound?"

Cassia held a torch and searched around the sarcophagus, but found nothing. And the moment the torch flickered over the corpse, I noticed that the corpse's jaw shook violently, and at the same time, I saw a faint red light emerge from the corpse's mouth.

I reacted instantly, and suddenly remembered the strange creature I had seen in the Backrooms earlier, glowing red. I remember the situation very well, and the long roar of this thing scared the entire corpse bat in the Backrooms to the point of urine. Suddenly, I had a premonition that something was wrong, and I was about to warn them. Suddenly, there was another "buzzing" sound from the sarcophagus, and immediately after, an object covered in mucus and emitting a red light completely crawled out of the corpse's mouth.

I was stunned, it looked like a cicada, but it was blood-red, about the size of a baby's fist.

Before Cassia realized that we were about to be in trouble, he looked at the blood cicada and half-jokingly said, "I said, this thing can't be a fucking Han Badao, right?" How can it still move? ”

But before he could finish speaking, the blood cicada lying on the corpse's mouth suddenly shook its wings, let out a long roar, and crashed towards us. I didn't expect this thing to be so fast, I just felt a red light pass in front of my eyes, and at the same time I smelled an extremely disgusting rancid smell coming over my face.

"Run! Come on! ”

The fourth child must have seen the power of this blood cicada, and he didn't care about any bracelets at this time, so he dragged me desperately towards the exit. There are many logs piled up near the exit of the stone hall, which are supposed to be the rolling wood used to move these sarcophagi. In addition, there are a large number of wooden rope structures that have fallen apart and collapsed nearby, which should have been used to drag the sarcophagus back then, but now they are dilapidated and unrecognizable.

I didn't have time to take a second look, so I followed the fourth child all the way out of the stone hall, and Master and Cassia followed closely behind us. The four of them escaped from the stone hall, and outside the stone hall was a dark stone path. We didn't have time to catch our breath and ran all the way down the stone path. ran until the fork in the road, and the fourth child in front stopped.

Suddenly, there was a cough in the corridor. I'm worried that the blood cicada behind me will catch up, and I'm about to ask which way to go? But when my eyes inadvertently swept over the stone wall, I found that the stone wall here was engraved with the kind of mark that the fourth child was used to.

This is really an endless road, and the fourth child didn't stop long, so he took the lead in drilling into the stone road engraved with marks. And I was going to ask the fourth child about the blood cicada, but I ran all the way down, and I really didn't have the strength. Even Cassia was a rare silence and hurried away with his head down.

Later, as we continued to go deeper, the traces of jade veins left on the surrounding rock walls became more and more ancient. The fourth said that this kind of old pit is very old, all over the underground jade veins of Dushan, and the older it is, the deeper it is dug. That is to say, the ancient mines inside these mountains that we see are not dug out at one time in a short period of time, they are after hundreds of years, or even several dynasties, they have gradually accumulated to the scale we see now, and the deeper the mines, the older and larger the scale.

I remember that in local legends, the earliest mining activities in Dushan were during the time of the Yellow Emperor. However, the earliest mining record that is really recorded in history is in the period of Yin Shang Wuding. And what we are looking at is only a small part of the ancient mining road group of the Dushan Underground Mountain Range, and the year is estimated to be in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. These ancient mine tunnels are deep in the leylines of the earth, and have been abandoned here for many years, falling into disrepair. If it weren't for the reinforced beams built around them, they would have collapsed hundreds of years ago.

We were exhausted along the way, not because the stone path was difficult, but because we were too tired. And I don't know what time it is, it should have already dawned outside, and a few of us walked all night, and at this time we were sleepy, hungry, and exhausted. I followed the shadow of Cassia almost numbly, without any thoughts in my head, like the walking dead.

Half an hour later, just when I could barely bear to fall asleep, I suddenly felt something was wrong behind me, and it felt like someone was hiding behind us, peeping at us.

I shuddered, and immediately woke up from my trance.

Is someone stalking us? Who could it be?
