Chapter 30: Mystical Rituals

Liu Xiaoge closed his eyes tightly, a few seconds later. The imaginary pain of the blade entering the body did not appear, Liu Xiaoge hurriedly opened his eyes, and immediately saw that the sharp blade stabbed into the body, and then passed through the body and fell on the ghost dancer under him. I didn't feel it at all, and the head of the ghost dancer behind me was directly cut off, and his body trembled a few times, and then he fell still.

Then Liu Xiaoge fell heavily to the ground, snorting in pain with his back facing up. Looking up from this angle, Liu Xiaoge saw at a glance above the zenith, as if a bright light flashed. Could it be that these are not ghosts at all, but optical phantoms produced by light and shadow projection.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoge endured the pain, reached out and grabbed the ghost soldier beside him, but this time he didn't touch anything. Obviously, they really see it, but they can't touch it, they are the same as these ghosts, as if they exist in two different worlds like Liu Xiaoge, and they can't have contact with each other at all.

Li Xinwen was a little surprised at first when she saw this scene, and then she also stretched out her hand to grab a ghost dancer in front of her, like Liu Xiaoge, she didn't touch anything, and then said that her palm stopped in the air, and waved her hand again, but she still couldn't touch anything. The little monkey breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and said, "These ghost things can't touch us at all, and we can't touch them, so there's no threat now." ”

After speaking, he was still angry, and raised his leg and kicked the ghost dancer in front of him a few times. Li Xinwen was afraid that he would get into trouble, so she grabbed him and said, "Don't mess around, we haven't figured out what's going on yet." Liu Xiaoge had already stood up with his buttocks covered at this moment, pointed to the zenith on his head and said: "Although I don't know how the ancients did it, but when you look up, there is a faint beam of light on every ghost. This is probably a very high-tech stereoscopic projection technology, I really didn't expect the ancients to be able to do this. ”

In order to verify his guess, he stretched out his hand towards the top of the head of one of the ghost dancers, and sure enough, a piece of the ghost dancer's body was missing, no more, no less, exactly the size of a handprint. Li Xinwen also understood when she saw this, but after thinking about it carefully, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, is everything really that simple?

Could it be that the human-faced ghost fires I just saw were also projections? So where does the light come from? When they came in, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and according to the time, they had spent seven or eight hours in this dungeon, and it was now about twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

So he asked, "If the time is correct, it is exactly midnight outside, where is the light source?" The brightness of the moonlight was certainly not enough, and the depth of the tomb was at least thirty meters underground. Any light source that travels such a long distance will also weaken. Liu Xiaoge was also a little dumbfounded when he heard it, could it be the light of the ghost fire with a human face?

So the human-faced ghost fire I just saw is not fake but real, but I obviously watched the human-faced ghost fire turn into the appearance of these ghosts, could it be that the human-faced ghost fire that I just saw flying down is also fake, and the real human-faced ghost fire has always been on this zenith and has never come down?

The more Liu Xiaoge thinks about it, the more mysteries he can't figure out, there are too many true and false things in this tomb, and there is no way to verify them one by one, and continuing to think about it can only increase his troubles. The little monkey suddenly interrupted: "Don't think about it, you two, look at these bronze soldiers killing these dancers, am I relying on this to be a war of extermination?" ”

Liu Xiaoge was reminded by the little monkey before he shifted his attention to these projections again, only to see that at this moment, a large number of bronze soldiers were once again crowded around the periphery, surrounding these dancers, and they were actually slaughtering with knives in their hands. The whole slaughter seemed to be in order, not a single dancer resisted, and the little ghost dancer knelt like the chicken and duck monster to be slaughtered, bowing his head and worshipping reverently towards the center of the clearing.

For each dancer of the killer, these bronze soldiers would separate the heads and corpses of those dancers. The heads were stacked separately in a pile, and the corpses were pulled down where the dancers had just been worshipped, and the headless corpses were quickly piled up into a hill until all the dancers had been killed.

The bronze soldiers departed with their heads, and as they reached the end of the tomb, they suddenly turned around and shot rockets with their bows and arrows. Set the pile on fire, then disappear into the chamber, leaving behind a burning pile of corpses in the center of the chamber. Looking at the crazy flames, Liu Xiaoge was stunned.

Is this really a terrible war of extermination? It's so weird that it's better to say that this is a slaughter than a mysterious sacrificial act. The whole picture has no beginning or end, and I can't guess what it means. Thinking of the large number of headless ancient corpses on the periphery, Liu Xiaoge felt goosebumps in his heart.

Could it be that the owner of this tomb has a special hobby, and uses this method to hope that the souls of these people will be locked in this tomb forever, and they will worship themselves from generation to generation? That's too perverted, isn't it? Just when Liu Xiaoge was puzzled, Li Xinwen looked at the flame and suddenly exclaimed: "No, this flame is not a projection, it seems to be real." ”

Liu Xiaoge was called by her, and looked at the raging flame again, and there were real human heads writhing in the flames. Since it is a large number of human-faced ghosts gathered together, this sense of realism, compared with the projection just now, seems to be really much clearer, this is definitely not a projection, but real.

Then above the zenith, a pillar of light fell, and more human-faced ghost fires poured down from the zenith, and the flames formed became more and more vigorous, forming a pillar of fire in an instant, burning straight to the zenith. Suddenly, the little monkey pointed to the stone slab under the ghost fire and said, "Look, something seems to be coming out of there." ”

As the little monkey's voice fell, the four gates in the main tomb all let out a heavy roar, and the four heavy stone doors fell, completely trapping the four people in the main tomb. Seeing that the retreat was blocked, Liu Xiaoge hurriedly said: "What should I do?" We can't get out now. ”

The three of them tightened together again, first retreated to one of the stone doors, Li Xinwen reached out and knocked a few times, but the stone door did not move at all, and did not even make a sound. Li Xinwen frowned slightly: "This stone door is too thick, it is basically impossible to open it by brute force, and now there is no time to find the mechanism to open the door, so you can only use explosives." ”

Liu Xiaoge urged: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and blow it up, I don't want to face those ghost things that climbed up below." Although he didn't see anything emerging from the pillar of fire at this moment, the faint sound of bronze friction reminded Liu Xiaoge of the terrible bronze mercenary he saw in the lower tomb.

Li Xinwen was a little annoyed by Liu Xiaoge's urging and said: "The amount of explosives we brought is not much, so we can't blow it up indiscriminately." Moreover, the power of a single force is not enough to blow through this stone gate, so it is necessary to rewash and adjust the dose of explosives, and rewash to make a more powerful directional blasting explosive. Liu Xiaoge looked down at Li Xinwen's expression when he heard this, and he knew that Li Xinwen had no experience in mixing explosives.

This is over, because at this moment, Liu Xiaoge has already seen a tall figure in the pillar of fire, and the figure is like a monster reborn from the fire in the turquoise flames, which looks extremely eerie and terrifying. The worst premonition also manifested Sure enough, it was those bronze terracotta warriors that were difficult to deal with, Liu Xiaoge's heart was cold, and he secretly said that he was going to die.

Li Xinwen suddenly said: "Although I have never mixed explosives, I have also seen some knowledge of mixing explosives, so I can reluctantly give it a try." The explosives we brought with us could only be tested three times if they failed. Although Li Xinwen didn't say the second half of the sentence, the three of them understood in their hearts that if they succeeded, they could live, and if they failed, they had to wait for death.

After being silent for a moment, Liu Xiaoge made up his mind and said: "No matter what, you have to gamble no matter what, you stay here to mix explosives, and the little monkey and I are responsible for containing these bronze mercenaries to buy you time." After the division of labor between the three was clear, Liu Xiaoge took off the automatic rifle on his back, and at the same time handed his pistol to the little monkey, who took the pistol and picked up Li Xinwen's pistol on the ground.

With two guns in hand, the little monkey was much more confident, and a strange cry said: "Kill!" Crush him. Liu Xiaoge almost fell to the ground when he heard the little monkey's slogan, but he was not in the mood to complain about this joke at the moment. The two of them walked quickly towards the pillar of fire, and the large black hole under the pillar of fire appeared in front of them.

The diameter of the big hole is at least more than three meters, and it is pitch black below, and there is no bottom to be seen. At this time, the first bronze mercenary walked out of the pillar of fire, and although the little monkey had heard Liu Xiaoge's description, he was still taken aback when he saw it. Dressed in heavy bronze armor, holding a halberd, with a height of about two meters, and looking at the bronze mask on his face.

A murderous aura that has traveled through the ages is coming, and both of them are rookies who have never seen blood. Shocked by this murderous aura, they retreated several steps before they could shoot, Liu Xiaoge and they retreated, and the bronze terracotta warriors completely walked out of the pillar of fire, and the two missed the best opportunity to block the bronze terracotta warriors. After the bronze terracotta warrior came out, he swept towards the two of them with his halberd held high, and compared to his slow movement speed, the attack speed of this bronze terracotta warrior was simply amazing.

The little monkey was frightened, and he didn't care too much, and he shot a few shots. Hitting the armor of the bronze terracotta warriors, only a few crisp sounds were heard, and under the splashing of sparks, the bronze terracotta warriors did not move at all. The little monkey shouted, "Oh no, our guns are too small to beat this guy, and they can't break the defense at all." ”

Liu Xiaoge did not believe in evil, and the automatic rifle in his hand fired, and suddenly there was a series of gunshots. This time it was much better than the little monkey's attack just now, beating the bronze terracotta warriors and slowing down his progress. It didn't take long for more than 30 rounds of ammunition from Liu Xiaoge's automatic rifle to pour out, and without the harassment of bullets, the bronze terracotta warriors took another step towards the two of them.

Looking at the bronze armor in front of the bronze terracotta warriors, except for dozens of craters left on it, this monster didn't have anything to do at all. This feeling is like fighting a boss and not being able to break the defense, and it's all MISS when you hit it. Liu Xiaoge took out a magazine from his waist bag again, replaced it with a magazine, and planned to continue fighting.

The little monkey grabbed Liu Xiaoge and said: "Little brother can't do this, no amount of ammunition is enough to fight like this, even if he can be killed, look behind him." After saying that, he pointed to the back of the bronze terracotta warriors, and sure enough, three more came out of the pillar of fire at some point, and four bronze terracotta warriors stood in a row.

Liu Xiaoge asked rhetorically: "Then what do you say?" The little monkey smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't forget our purpose, we are only responsible for containment, not for killing the enemy." Just lure them away, they don't move fast, we still have a chance. ”
