Chapter Seventy-Five: The Treasure Room
At the moment, the thing was blocked at the entrance to the east passage, so the only place we could run was the entrance where the wild man had left.
Those blue and faint eyes, in the dim light, looked particularly evil, and on the outstretched hands, the fingernails were sharp and long, like ten steel needles. I grabbed Tan Jian violently and wanted to run, but he was not moved at all, and I didn't have much strength myself, if I carried him, it would be impossible to run away.
At this moment, my scalp was numb, and my whole body felt as if I had been splashed with a layer of cold water, and I was cold from my head to my feet.
As the other party approached, a fishy smell that was hard to ignore and resembled a snake came to my nose, and I couldn't help but take two steps back. However, then I noticed that the monster seemed to be more interested in Tan Blade, and when I stepped back, its eyes were still motionless, staring straight at its original position.
There was only Tan Jian in that position.
I chuckled in my heart. At this time, Tan Jian was still the same, motionless, if a lifeless puppet, he didn't feel fear and fear at all. It's close, and if he continues like this, he'll be bitten to death by this monster! The wound on the neck of the dried corpse flashed in my mind.
No way...... I can't let Tan Blade die at the hands of this monster!
I've got to get it out of the way!
But the shredded appearance of the dried corpse just now made me know that I must not get too close to this monster, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a pile of broken pottery shards not far from my feet, the small ones were the size of fingernails, and the large ones were the size of a palm.
That's the clay pot that the wild man used to smash me before.
I didn't dare to delay, grabbed a handful in my hand as fast as I could, and threw it directly towards the monster.
The shattered pottery was relatively small in size, but the edges were very sharp, and I threw it like a flying knife, and it directly slashed to the forehead of the opponent.
Although the scales of this thing are dense, it doesn't look thick, and it doesn't have much defensive effect, and as soon as I threw it out, the thing hurt, and the pair of blue eyes immediately transferred to me.
As soon as I saw that its attention was attracted to me, I immediately pulled out my legs and ran. The thing followed.
I ran into the passageway, the lighter windproof cover in my hand facing forward, and although I could protect the flames from extinguishing as I ran, the light was so small that I couldn't really see anything except the road under my feet.
Behind this is an interconnected stone room, as far as the eye can see, there are many clay pots, and not the kind of decorative, but practical, there are large water tanks, and bucket-shaped rice bowls, it seems that this piece is still a place to store grain.
The stone chamber is large, but the space is separated by a large vat, and when you break in, it is like breaking into a labyrinth formed by a large vat. I didn't look back, or I didn't have time to look back, and in this physically exhausted situation, I spent all my energy on running.
I didn't look back, but my keen hearing could hear it clearly, and the thing was catching up, and it was fast! Very fast!
It's coming close to me!
At the last moment, I swerved and ran to the left, and then I heard a thud, and it turned out to be the thing that was about to catch me, but my sudden turn made it lose its head, and all ten fingers that had been inserted into me were inserted into one of the vats.
The vat shattered in half, and some black lumps rolled out of it, emitting a pungent stench.
I don't know that it has been hundreds of thousands of years, and the food stored in it has all rotted into charcoal-like things.
This vat was shattered, but it inspired me. It's fast, but I can use the terrain to my advantage to buy myself time. Next, as I ran, I made irregular turns or forwards, and by the end of the run, even I had lost my way.
It was just as I expected, it was chasing hard, but it couldn't predict what I was going to do next, so I didn't have a head start, and it always hit a wall. It's just a pity that despite this, the advantage in speed is obvious, and I still can't get rid of it.
At this moment, a passage suddenly appeared in front of my vision, and at the same time, the entire 'cylinder array' was also broken into the end by me.
After this toss, I was actually physically exhausted, and I don't know how long I can last. Now that he has run to the end all of a sudden, he has no bargaining chips to deal with that monster, and his whole heart is half cold.
Finished!
Will I run away next?
This question just flashed in my mind, and the current situation was too critical, so I didn't even have extra time to think, so I had to rush into the passage.
This straight passage, there are many decorative carvings on the two walls, all of which are a picture of a bumper harvest, a scene of slaughtering sheep and cattle, these stone paintings, I just swept through in the process of running, and more scenes are unknown.
Sure enough, as soon as it was thrown into this passage, without the previous terrain advantage, the thing quickly caught up, and the sound of getting closer and closer, like the sound of footsteps ringing in the ears, was simply torture.
This torture made me look back at the last moment, and at this look, I saw a pair of hands like steel needles, straight towards my head, and in the great fright, I stumbled under my feet, and my body fell to the stone wall next to me.
This down, but I don't know what mechanism it touched, the stone wall turned over violently like the plot in the TV series. My body was spun around and pushed into a space behind the stone wall.
Due to the unstable center of gravity, the whole person fell to the ground, fell and ate, and the lighter did not know where it fell, and the light went out.
I couldn't see anything, so I slowly got up and fumbled for my lighter on the ground.
Finally, about three to five meters away, I touched it and set it on fire.
However, as soon as the lighter lit up, I couldn't help but scold my mother, for no other reason, because that monster was also taken behind this stone gate!
The thing was obviously a little confused, and probably didn't understand why it suddenly changed places, and the moment I lit the lighter, its blue eyes locked on me again.
I swallowed and retreated sharply, but only then did I realize that behind the stone door was a treasure room or something. To be exact, I doubt even more that it will be the treasury, but everywhere I look, there are pearls and jade, and more gold and silver vessels, a silver sapphire-encrusted water bottle for one man, and a basin made of gold, which is simply dazzling.
No wonder there are organs in this place, co-authored is a treasury, and it is normal to have some organs in the treasury. The light was so dim that I couldn't see the whole of the treasury, and I didn't know if there was an exit from the rest of the place.
But at this point, the thing grinned, and as soon as its body moved, it was about to pounce. Where do I dare to make close contact with it, in a hurry, I picked up the same thing around me and smashed it, and my heartache eyes were red after smashing, that thing was as thin as a cicada's wings**White jade bottle.
God, why are you torturing me like this!
These things are not only valuable materials, but also treasures of the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions!
But now I have to smash them as broken bottles in order to survive.
This is equivalent to a person being trapped in a cold place, and can only use the RMB on his body to warm up.
If I smashed it the first time, I wasn't afraid of the second time, and with a kind of open-mindedness, I smashed whatever I caught, and retreated while smashing, preventing the monster from approaching. I suspect that if the archaeologist's body was here, he would have been able to come back to life when he saw me using the artifact like that.
Just like that kind of throwing circle, I accidentally grabbed some jade necklaces and smashed them, and several of them ended up hanging around the monster's neck, not to mention how ridiculous they looked.
No matter how big this treasury is, there will be an end to it in the end, not to mention, this treasury is actually not very large, so soon, I was forced into a corner.
There's nothing left for me to smash anymore.
I had smashed the monster in several places, and under the cracked scales, there was some blackened flesh, and there was no blood at all.
At this moment, I wonder if it has any life at all. If it's a living thing, how can there be no blood?
At this moment, I was forced into a corner by it, and there was no way to retreat, and my heart suddenly despaired.
