Chapter 203 The Ancient Tomb at the Bottom of the Pond 8
"Did you hear that?"
In the dark passage, the thin man suddenly slowed down, listening carefully to our echoes.
"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Yuxi and I looked at each other, and we both saw a trace of incomprehension in each other's eyes. Because in our ears, there is no other abnormal sound except our echo.
"In our echoes, it looks like someone is laughing."
The thin man's words gave us goosebumps all of a sudden. Laughter? What does this mean? Is it Brother Xiao and them? It's impossible, if it were Brother Xiao and them, they wouldn't have responded to us with laughter at all. Well, as the thin man said, our echoes were mixed with laughter. Doesn't that mean that something or someone is near us?
I made a silent gesture to everyone, and then put my palm next to my ear, which is scientifically said to increase the distance between people's hearing, and I don't know if it's true.
At this point, our echo is already tiny, tiny. So small that in such a quiet passage, if you don't listen carefully, you basically can't hear what is being said in the echo. Not to mention, putting my palm next to my ear really made me hear the slight difference in the echo.
It was a human laugh, but not quite. Because if you listen closely, you will see that the voice is a squeaky smile. What is certain, though, is that it is indeed laughing. It's as if they hear us call out to our companions and laugh at them.
"The sound is too far away to tell which direction." After listening to it for a long time, I came to a conclusion that bordered on nonsense.
Just because I'm not good at hearing and discerning is not good at it, it doesn't mean that some of us can't. No, the thin man spoke.
"Come with me, in that direction." The thin man pointed to the southwest position and said to us with certainty.
Later, I learned that the thin man liked to hunt wild animals in the village when he was a child. It's not easy to catch a wild animal in the dense forests of the mountains, you have to find it first. Hunting prey, hunters will tell you not to blindly trust the eyes, the ears are actually the best tool to find them. Naturally, the thin man who has practiced the ability to catch prey is much more powerful than us in terms of listening and distinguishing position.
Closely behind the thin man, we would shout every distance we walked, and then the sound of ridicule would follow. Strange to say, if we don't shout, it won't make a sound. This made us very puzzled and depressed, what the hell was that thing that made the sound.
In this way, with the thin man's excellent hearing, and the deliberate guidance of the owner of the voice. We finally made our way through dozens of passages to an open place covered with bell stones.
This is different from other places we've been to before, first of all, it looks like a big cave. Because there are many bell stones of different shapes at the top of the mountain, which are a little different from other bare headspaces. Secondly, whether we walked through the passages, corridors, or stone chambers we found, we saw nothing of value at all except the four coffins.
And now, thirty meters directly in front of us, there is a stone platform three meters long and one meter five wide. Perhaps because of the age, the polishing technology at that time was not good enough. So much so that the stone platform is overgrown with jagged water chestnuts around it.
Of course, none of this matters to us. Because this stone platform is very ordinary, it is not valuable. What we really value is the stuff on the platform. It was a coffin made of large red nanmu, which was smaller than the stone platform in terms of length and width.
The exterior of the coffin was bright red, not paint, but the natural color of the tree. I'm sure if you look at it when it's first made, you'll notice that it's going to have a bright color on the surface. It's like being spray-painted, which is why the big red nanmu has always been expensive.
On the outside of the coffin, there are many patterns depicted. If other tomb robbers see it, they will definitely not know what the pattern depicts without a certain amount of knowledge. But for me, the pattern is all too familiar. Yes, in the front position of the coffin, the pattern carved there is nothing else, it is the ancestor of our yang, Bai Ze Divine Beast.
In this way, the big red nanmu coffin in front of us is what we are looking for. No, it seems that in order to verify our thoughts, when I was close to the coffin ten meters away, the ancient jade pendant on my top lit up very dutifully.
"Look, coffin. What we're looking for is right ahead! Brute, come with me!"
Seeing the appearance of the coffin, the thin man's heart was depressed for a long time, and he suddenly found an outlet. Without even thinking about it, he took a step forward and ran towards the stone platform.
The bull followed closely behind the thin man, and the two of them quickly climbed onto the stone platform. Just as I wanted to reach out and touch the coffin, I suddenly heard a 'squeak', and then we saw a flower in front of us. I saw the thin man and the wild bull who were originally standing on the stone platform, and the whole person rose into the air behind them, and then fell heavily to the ground.
I knew it wasn't going to be that simple. Because, we were able to find here, and half of the credit is due to the owner of the mocking voice that has not yet surfaced. In fact, I should have spoken out to stop the skinny people when they were about to act.
However, at that time, my heart was similar to that of the skinny people. I only thought about the contents of the coffin, and almost forgot everything else. Now, seeing the thin man and them being knocked down from the stone platform to the ground by a shadow, he came to his senses.
"Thin man, brute cow, how are you doing?"
I took the Demon Killing Blade in my right hand, and together with Lin Yuxi, I quickly walked to the side of the thin man, and after checking that the thin man had just fainted and was fine, I immediately made a defensive posture.
Because the shadow that stunned the thin man and them before is now standing on top of the coffin, facing us.
It was a strange-looking animal, like a monkey, but it wasn't. Because it has three eyes, and its face has nothing to do with monkeys, if you really want to think about it, it looks a little similar to canines and other animals. Same nose, same beard. But the mouth is not long, just like the lips of a human being. As for the rest of the body, it is exactly the same as a monkey. The same hands and feet, the same tail, the same red strands.
So, I gave it the nickname 'Three-Eyed Monster'. Originally, I wanted to call it the Three-Eyed Monkey Monster. But I feel that the name is a little long, and it is also a little unsightly. In the end, it was rejected and directly called the 'Three-Eyed Monster'.
He was looking at me at the same time, as if he was looking at me? Or is it completely non-fatal?
Regardless of his mentality, I don't dare to underestimate him. After all, thin people, they are a lesson from the past! It's so fast that we can't see it clearly, so forget it. But I know exactly how the thin men fainted to the ground, they were directly knocked unconscious by the hand of the Three-Eyed Monster.
Want to ask me why I know that the skinny man was stunned by the three-eyed monster with his hand? It's very simple, do you see the handprint in front of the thin man who is only two fingers wide?
I don't know why, but this three-eyed monster gives me a somewhat intimate feeling. No, this three-eyed monster looks like a monster, right? Why do I feel that way?
Looking at the three-eyed monster standing on top of the coffin, it suddenly jumped easily without saying a word, and the whole child pounced on me with teeth and claws, so frightened that Lin Yuxi hurriedly opened his mouth and yelled at me: "Pig head, that three-eyed monster is rushing towards us!"
However, how did Lin Yuxi, who was behind me, know at this moment, I was deserting now, and I was wondering in my heart that this three-eyed monster was obviously a monster, but it brought me a sense of intimacy.
So, it wasn't until the Three-Eyed Monster pounced on me that I woke up from my confusion. However, at this time, it was a little late to wake up, and everyone was already on me, so I could react.
Even if I reacted, I didn't do anything right now. It's not that I've fallen for some evil magic, and it's not that I've been choked by the Three-Eyed Monster and don't dare to act rashly. It was the three-eyed monster's behavior that made me and Lin Yuxi a little flattered.
We thought the Three-Eyed Monster was coming at me and attacking me. But who would have thought that this guy, after pounced on me, immediately stood on my shoulder, from time to time rubbed my ears affectionately with that hairy head, and from time to time stretched out his little tongue to my earlobe.
"Pig's head!" Seeing this, Lin Yuxi hurriedly called me. However, when I made a silent gesture to her, she stopped her mouth from speaking, and watched me quietly. As long as I have something wrong here, it will definitely come to my aid as soon as possible.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the three-eyed monster didn't seem to be doing anything bad to me. The hanging heart immediately let go of a lot, but he didn't dare to completely give up his vigilance and earth's heart. After all, such a thing suddenly ran up to you, and it rubbed your head against your ears again. Whoever changes will also beat the drum in his heart.
Maybe it was my coldness that made the Three-Eyed Monster a little dissatisfied, only to see it squeak at me twice. seems to be venting his dissatisfaction, people have already shown such a kiss, why do you seem to be like a piece of wood without expression?
I don't know why, when I heard the call of the three-eyed monster, I actually automatically translated such a sentence in my heart. I don't know if it's the ability of the three-eyed monster, or my psychological reaction.
'Could it be that this three-eyed monster is an animal in captivity in Yangmen?' And its owner is Gan Mao lying in the coffin? After Ganmao's death, he was buried in the ground. It's just that because of its special breed, it hasn't died for so long?' To be honest, this reason is somewhat ridiculous. But that's the best explanation, otherwise who would explain to me why the Three-Eyed Monster would be so affectionate to me? You know, the two of us have never met!
Because I am the descendant of the Yang Gate, the breath of the Yang Gate. The ancient jade pendant, demon sword, and map fragments he carried, each of them had a familiar flavor to the Three-Eyed Monster, so this guy was so friendly and intimate to me?
Thinking of this, I decided to give it a try. So, I switched the Demon Blade to my left hand, but my right hand cautiously reached out towards the Three-Eyed Monster. As soon as something was slightly wrong with this guy, I immediately withdrew my hand and stabbed it with the Demon Blade. The heart of defense is indispensable!
