Chapter 5: Corpse Blood Rat

The black underwater world, you can't see a trace of light, if it's not the tactical headlight on the head, it is estimated that it will be dark, this is the LED tactical headlamp, the consumption is small, the endurance is strong, and there is no obstacle to use it underwater.

Wearing diving goggles, the underwater world is quiet, and you can only hear the sound of your own breathing. After sneaking around for a while, I found that the lower ones were all dense with dry bones, and there were thousands of them.

Nothing special happened along the way, and several people came to the tomb safely, and our group floated up at a stone step, took off their diving suits, picked up the bright lights, and began to look around the ancient tomb.

Because there was a landslide here, the air of the shape seeped into the entire tomb through the water flow, so there is no need to worry about the bad air here, several people have turned on the strong light, holding it in their hands, to my surprise is that these young people entered the tomb for the first time, not only did they not seem panicked, but they were all eager to try.

Seeing that everyone had packed up their gear, I said something too. "Let's take a look around first, if there are any traces of people's activities, if Zihao and Li Tong come in, they should leave clues."

After receiving orders, several people also teamed up in pairs to look for clues separately. This is not the burial pit of the Backrooms as I imagined, but a burial tunnel, surrounded by bluestones, and unusually cold to the touch.

Where we are now, it's a platform, and there's a staircase leading to the bottom, but it's all flooded, and the main task now is to start looking for people around here. Although Jingxiu and I both think that there are zongzi in it, no one can say anything until we see it.

Moreover, the zongzi must be lying in the coffin, as long as the coffin is not moved, there will be no danger, as for the things that are not in the coffin, then don't think about it, if you are exposed to the air for so many years, you will become a bone, and how can the corpse become a zongzi.

"Come here." The first to find the clue was Huang Kai, who shouted not far away. "There are footprints here."

I was also happy to hear that there was a clue, and immediately ran over, and the rest of the people followed. When I walked in, I found that there were a lot of footprints here, which were very messy, and it seemed that I was rushing to run over here.

"This must be the footprints left by Zihao, you see that these shoe prints are still very clear." The ancient tomb is in a closed environment, and there is a lot of dust, and it is normal to leave a footprint, and when I was about to say something more, Xiang Ji over there screamed.

"Listen, what is that sound?" As he spoke, he leaned his ear to the floor tile to listen, and after a while, he jumped up violently, and ran in our direction without saying a word. "Run, there's something coming, there's a lot of it."

Xiang Ji's words immediately frightened us, the ancient tomb is definitely not a good thing, it is all some means to prevent tomb robbery. Even as he ran past us, we could hear the sound of Si Si Suo, as if there were countless fingernails grasping the tiles, and it was so piercing that it was so piercing. I didn't dare to delay, I took out a glow stick, folded it and suddenly lit up, threw it back and ran away.

After running a few steps and looking back, I suddenly had hairs standing on end. Through the light of the glow sticks, I found that what was chasing us behind was something like a mouse, but their muscles were lumpy and uneven, like the skin of a toad, and the strange thing was that they were very large, and the melon seeds were extremely long, running on the green bricks, and they could also bring up a stone chip.

It is conceivable that if they catch a handful, they will have to lose a piece of meat, this red rat I know their scientific name, called corpse blood rat, is an anti-theft method in ancient times, very clever.

First of all, this kind of corpse blood rat is made of ordinary mice, when the baby mice are just born, they are put into a jar, and soaked in a liquid, sealed with soil, but leave a hole the size of a needle's eye, and finally put into the boiling blood pool, these blood with human blood is naturally the best, if the blood of livestock is used, the effect will be greatly reduced.

When the little mice inside die, they will slowly 'grow' up, depending on how big the jar is. The jar grows as big as it gets, and then the small hole in the jar is plugged and placed in the burial chamber, and after thousands of years, the slightest noise will shake off the contents that seal the hole, and then the corpse blood rats inside will come out and eat everything they can eat.

"Run, everyone run, this is a corpse blood rat, what to eat." Seeing what was behind me, I was also shocked, I didn't expect that there were so many corpse blood rats here.

I remember one time when I went to the inverted bucket, there was a corpse blood rat in that ancient tomb, bigger than a cat, and almost killed me. But now there is a group chasing him behind him, just a quick glance at the head that is about the same as a goat, this is the rhythm of death.

I ran to the last one, and I could see their hideous faces as I saw the corpse blood rats getting closer and closer, and I can imagine that when something was rotting, it suddenly froze and emitted a foul smell. This is my most intuitive description of the corpse blood rat, nausea and nausea can no longer be described.

I also made a quick decision and yelled. "Run separately and don't look back."

After running for a while, I found that there was a fork in the road, and if I ran like this without a head and no brain, I would end up dying, and it seemed that separation was the only way to live.

After shouting, I didn't sit idle, and kept throwing the light sticks around, hoping that the light would attract their attention, because I knew that this corpse blood rat relied on the heat to judge the position of the food, and anyway, the silver light stick was still a little warm, which could also distract them a little.

"It seems that this time the teacher is not good, I just encountered this kind of thing in the tomb, and I don't know what else is in it, if we retreat into the water just now, then it won't be as embarrassed as now." I complained in my heart, but the speed of my feet did not decrease, and I ran desperately with the strength of breastfeeding.

Running and running, I felt that something was wrong, why did I run for so long, it was still a cemetery, it stands to reason that there would be a few side rooms, as long as I got in and hid, closed the stone door, it was temporarily safe, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind. "There is only one reason for this situation, and that is ~~ This is a big tomb, at least it is also an ancient prime minister and general or something."

"Ah~ah~" Suddenly there were two calls from the front, there were still two rays of light, but now they are gone, and suddenly only the only light source on my headlamp remains, but I dare not stop.

Xin said: "The things in the back are much more terrifying than traps. But before I could finish thinking about this thought, I felt that my feet were empty, and my whole body suddenly fell, that is, in a few seconds, it fell to a soft thing, and then I heard the sound of the stone moving, and looked up to see that there was nothing, it was a bluestone. In the panic, I saw that there were two other people below me, Jingxiu and Xiang Ji.

When Jingxiu saw that it was me, a wry smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she opened her mouth to say something, but I immediately whispered and said quickly: "Don't talk yet, there is something on it." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sound from above, and they seemed to be destroying the bluestone above, and some dust fell one after another.
