Chapter 27: Survival in the Dead
How can the stone shine, this is obviously unscientific, the main building material of the entire ancient tomb is bluestone, the stone here is the same as other places, why does it shine here. Unless it's not the stone that's shining at all, but a light source under the slate, which shines through the bluestone slab.
There was Xiang Ji's light source in front of us just now, and we saw so many mimosas, we didn't look at the top of the tomb carefully, let alone find any anomalies on the bluestone slab, but now that all the elements are combined, I can see the light on the top of the tomb.
Thoughts were racing in my head. "The light source can shine through the bluestone slab, then it means that the bluestone slab is not very thick, otherwise the light will not shine out. Also, since there is a light source underneath, there is definitely a certain amount of space, and for me, this may be a chance to survive. ”
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, the only way out was to break the bluestone slab and flee below, although I didn't know what was inside, but it was better than being burned to death immediately.
Just as I was about to use my pickaxe to break the stone slab on the ground, a vine wrapped around my ankle and grabbed it straight into the mimosa bushes. I was taken aback, I didn't expect the mimosa to move so quickly, and I was pulled in, but there was no good fruit to eat, and as soon as I gritted my steel teeth, I didn't care about the pain of pulling on my feet, and I picked up my arms and threw the pickaxe into the stone slab.
It was also at this life-or-death moment that I also burst out with amazing potential, smashing almost the entire pickaxe into it, and I could clearly feel that it was empty underneath, and there were traces of fluorescence pouring out of the hole.
As soon as the surrounding mimosas saw this fluorescence, they seemed to have encountered some nemesis, and they all retreated, and I also saw the expression of the human head on the mimosa through this light. Frightened, afraid of all kinds of negative emotions suddenly appeared on their faces, and they cowered and did not dare to move forward.
When I saw that they were afraid of this fluorescence, I was temporarily relieved and was about to use a pickaxe to enlarge the entrance to the cave.
"Huh"
There was a sound of breaking the air in the distance, and it immediately wrapped around the mountaineering pickaxe in my hand, and suddenly I felt a strong force in my hand, pulling straight back, and the pulling force was beyond my imagination.
But this is far from over, just listen to the sound of "Xiu Xiu" breaking the air constantly ringing in my ears, interweaving a song of the soul. I kind of understood, although the weird little face of the mimosa was afraid of the fluorescence, but their vines were not afraid of this, and they all reached out to attack me.
It's not good to see big things, if you are entangled by them, you have to be twisted into zongzi. But I still have a chance, because the 'exploding heads' are some distance away from me, and it gives me room to play without being afraid of the fire caused by the leaves.
As soon as I let go of my hand, I gave up my pickaxe, and with my free right hand I grabbed the folding sapper shovel and slashed at the vine on my foot. This kind of sapper shovel is a special archaeological excavation supplies, the top is open for the convenience of digging soil, it is very sharp, I just cut the vine and broke it with a "snap".
There was also a strange cry in the distance, like a baby's cry, which was very infiltrating, and the broken vine was also rolling on the ground, and black and green things flowed out. If I didn't know it was a plant, I'd have thought it was an animal. I didn't dare to slack off when I hit it, because more vines spread over.
A donkey rolled and stood up, next to the little hole, holding the sapper shovel in both hands, and wielding it like a hot wheel, severing the tentacles that dared to approach. I can still see that this mimosa may be a kind of thing like Cordyceps, half of it is a plant, and half of it is an animal, otherwise I really can't understand that this thing still has intelligence, so I naturally call them tentacles, which is not surprising at all.
After waving for a while, I felt out of breath, out of breath, sweating profusely, falling on the bluestone slabs one by one, and my feet were also wet. But gradually, I found that the tentacles attacking me became a lot less, and I was overjoyed, so I wanted to take advantage of this gap to run out and catch up with Jingxiu and Xiang Ji in front.
But as soon as my leg was raised, I noticed the anomaly, because the light from the hole was already very faint. In fact, it's not that the fluorescence has dimmed, but a visual error on my part. In this dark environment, when the light first appeared, I felt that the light was very bright and piercing, but as time passed, this light has slowly been used to me, so I feel that the light has faded.
The worst thing is not that I get used to the light, but that the mimosas that are shrunk to the side are also adapting, and they are slowly approaching me one by one, and I understand why the tentacles don't attack, and it seems that they want to do it themselves. My cold sweat suddenly broke out, intertwined with the hot sweat, and I fiercely realized what it means to be a fire and ice, plus the fear that those mimosas brought me.
I am also a person who has experienced great storms and seen the great world, and at this time, my brain turned very quickly, and I found the key point at once. Now for me, the only way to survive is the space under the bluestone slabs.
"Bastard, don't force me to dig a hole." I scolded, but I didn't spare any time, and I thrust the sapper shovel into the hole, and flap it to the side, hoping to widen the hole and let me escape.
The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. The mimosas seemed to understand my plan, and tentacles suddenly appeared, wrapped around the sapper shovel in my hand, and soon wrapped the little shovel round and round. But this time I didn't dare to let go, because it was the only heavy weapon left, and I was left with a lighter and a small dagger besides this thing.
You don't have to stab a stone with a dagger or burn it with fire, don't be kidding. If I lose this shovel, I'd better wipe my neck first. In this way, I grabbed the shovel and pulled it my side, while the tentacles pulled out in all directions, forming a stalemate.
My heart is not to mention how anxious, although the mimosa is not very fast, but it can't stand, they have tentacles to fight for time, here a little longer, my danger will be a little more, just when I was at a loss, an accident suddenly made me feel like I had escaped death.
This accident was not something else, but the antique wooden box, the one that I valued at 1.8 million yuan. Due to the vigorous movement of my body, I shook the wooden box out of my arms, and made a "bangbang" sound on the ground.
Actually, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that after the wooden box appeared, the tentacles wrapped around the sapper shovel all retreated, like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and it might be better if the word "ran away" in embarrassment, but this is a plant, and I don't know what they think inside, and I can't see the expression on their faces.
But I saw that the little heads were very angry, and the emotion they showed was to breathe flames. Yes, it is the jet flame, not as Xiang Ji said, they want to burst out of the flame not by the change of temperature, but if they want to spray, they will spray without hesitation.
I saw the mouths of those little heads open one after another, and the crimson flames and high temperatures suddenly hit me, and the flames were also very strange, like countless small mouths, grinning their teeth. It's the best way to describe the evil ghost out of the cage, I know that I'm finished, and in the end I can't escape the end of being burned to death.
It was hot, so hot that my face felt like it was about to be roasted, and I could still smell the tip of my nose burning. I knew it was my hair on fire, and the heat was approaching at an alarming rate, making the floor crackle.
At the last moment of my life, I heard a "click" sound in my ears, as if the ice could not withstand the pressure from above, and shattered, and then my feet were empty, and I fell, and almost made a frontal kiss with the flames.
