Chapter 21: Riptide Formation

"There's something wrong with this." Looking at this skeleton, I said in confusion, my expression was so strange that I couldn't figure it out.

"Well, it feels weird, it doesn't look like it's been soaked in water at all, and this wooden box is still so well preserved." Jing Xiu took a few steps closer, lit a lighter, and observed carefully.

"What's all the fuss, you look at the clothes on his body, that style of clothes only existed in the era of the Anti-Japanese War, this person should be one of the people who fought with your great-grandfather, unlucky girl, maybe he is still your great-grandfather." Xiang Jiwei laughed and said to Jing Xiu.

I was also shocked to hear that there were seven people who came in that year, but only my great-grandfather got out alive, and the others probably died in the tomb. In this way, this skeleton may really be Jingxiu's great-grandfather.

Although I saw the serious expression on Jing Xiu's face, there was no trace of uneasiness or nervousness, but stared at this skeleton intently, without blinking an eyelid.

Xiang Ji saw that no one responded to his jokes, his face jumped a few times, and he didn't speak, snatched the portable lamp in my hand, turned the brightness to the maximum, and squatted there and began to observe the skeleton carefully.

I wondered, a skeleton that didn't know how dead for decades was so attractive, shouldn't we stand on that platform now and wait for the mechanism to open? "Wait, I don't think I'm on the platform."

Helpless, I also got up, and the small platform was suddenly occupied by the three of us, I stood, and the two of them squatted, looking very unsociable. I couldn't just do it, so I squatted down to see what was so strange about this skeleton that the two of them could look at with relish.

As soon as I first looked at the skeleton, I noticed something unusual, because this skeleton seemed to be intact, but it was obvious that the entire skeleton was cracked, even the hardest skull, and it is conceivable that this person must have been under a lot of pressure before he died, so that he would be able to make his whole body skeleton like this.

All I can imagine is a boulder crushing this man to death, otherwise the bones wouldn't be like this. "What do you think?"

"He's not my great-grandfather." The first to speak was Jing Xiu, and her tone was very firm. "My great-grandfather had a gunshot wound to his right leg in his early years, so he was a cripple, and you see this skeleton has an intact right leg bone, and it doesn't look like a cripple at all."

"It doesn't matter who he is, first of all, this is the mechanism that Li Rat said, and this skeleton has not been invaded, the only explanation is that it came up from below, and we will go down from here later." Xiang Ji said very seriously, obviously he could hear it, what he wanted to express was that there was a mechanism below, and he killed this person, but he was not completely dead, and he climbed to the top of this platform before hanging up.

I was about to speak, when suddenly the whole platform began to shake violently, and we all knew that the mechanism was about to be activated, and we were about to enter the real tomb. And the skeleton found here makes us feel very complicated, I don't know what kind of mechanism is waiting for us below, as long as we think of the gears we saw when we just walked over, we know that the mechanism below is not comparable to the virtual tomb above.

With the sound of "rumbling", we quickly reached the next floor, and I estimated that it would be about ten meters. When the mechanism did not move, a stone slab soon covered the entrance of the cave overhead, and the entire tomb was suddenly quiet, and there was no sound at all.

To be on the safe side, I turned on the last few of our cold fireworks, and suddenly the surroundings were illuminated in white and miserable, and in the distance there seemed to be a figure, lying face down, judging by his clothes and size, it was a man, and around him was a pool of blood, flowing all over the ground, and I really suspected that he had been bled out.

This discovery surprised us, we didn't expect to meet one of them, I don't know who this person is, but it can be clearly seen that he died from the timed purge not long ago, otherwise there would not be so much blood coming out.

"Hey!" Jing Xiu sighed deeply, her expression shrunk, and she couldn't stop shaking her head.

I can probably guess what she thinks, although the group of people has other plans, but she is the head of this archaeological team anyway, and now she finds that one is dead, and it is false to say that she is not guilty, but she can't be blamed for this.

After thinking about it, I comforted: "Don't take it to heart, Tufuzi's life is involuntarily, and he is also to blame." ”

"Camera, what do you think now?"

Xiang Ji didn't answer, looked at the skeleton on the ground, and then looked at the corpse not far away, bent down and picked up the wooden box, and opened it without saying a word, but to our disappointment, there was nothing inside, looking at the exquisite decoration of the wooden box, and the carving was even more simple and elegant, imagine that the thing that was originally placed in it must be a treasure, and I don't know who took it.

In the end, he smiled mysteriously and said, "What else can I do, since there is an unlucky guy in front of you who died, then it proves that there is a trap in front, why do you still want to roll mines." ”

"Don't mind, I know that you are the most powerful of the three of us, such a glorious and arduous task is of course up to you to complete, we are a small role, or stay under your glorious wings and enjoy a happy life." I said righteously with an unchanging face, and I almost didn't worship him.

I performed so hard, Xiang Jili ignored me, but caused Jingxiu to laugh out loud. But Xiang Ji's subsequent actions immediately let me know what kind of person he is.

"Look at my stone-throwing and ask for directions." Xiang Ji said as he threw the wooden box in his hand towards the corpse.

I looked at the wooden box that fell in a parabola with wide eyes, and I cursed in my heart. "You are a loser, that is a cultural relic, how can it be worth 1.8 million, so let you spoil it."

Although he thought so in his heart, his eyes did not dare to leave the wooden box at all, because the cause of the unlucky man's death seemed to be known. All three of us stared nervously at the wooden box, fearing that something terrible would happen, but until the wooden box landed on the corpse, the expected trap did not appear, but the sound of the wooden box falling to the ground was heard.

One second

Five seconds

Ten seconds

Nothing happened, just as I was about to go over and pick up the baby, Xiang Ji stretched out his hand to stop me and said, "Be careful, do it again." ”

As he spoke, he took out a thing, and I took a closer look at the lighter I gave him, only to see that he lit the lighter, and then threw it out again, and we also looked at the flame of the lighter, our muscles tensed, ready to deal with all kinds of situations.

Just when the lighter was thrown out, less than five meters, we obviously heard a sound of the mechanism running, "squeak and crunch", now we all know that the mechanism has been activated, my expression suddenly panicked, and hurriedly said: "Sure enough, there is a mechanism." ”

Just when I was about to say something, suddenly there was a silvery-white light in front of and behind us, covering from below to above, and I didn't have to think about it to know that this thing was going to kill people, and fortunately we were standing in a good position now, within the range of that platform, it seemed to be a dead end for attack, and it would not be affected in any way.

When the silvery light appeared, there was a "squeak" sound, and I don't know how to describe it, it was like the sound of water hitting the wall.
