Chapter 826: Peeling Back the Cocoon
"Huh? How does water flow to high places? Lin Yueru asked with a look of surprise.
"Weird, isn't it?" Qin Fen said in a deep voice, "Actually, it's very simple to say that this place seems to be higher, but in fact, the bottom is empty, and the surface is empty, just because there is more soil on it, and the rest of the place is solid, but there is a hole under the place that seems to be higher, so it looks like water is naturally flowing to a higher place." β
"And why is there low grass and trees in the wilderness near the mountain temple? It is estimated that there is a large tomb below, and the ancient tomb group usually puts mercury, sulfur and other things to prevent corrosion and insects, which will cause serious damage to the plants, and naturally cannot flourish. β
Just do what you say, and you don't waste time and dig directly.
Everyone naturally had the tools to dig the earth, a few sappers shoveled down, sure enough, as Qin Fen said, only dug less than half a foot, then found that there was a wooden board underneath, and then a sapper shoveled down and pecked the wooden plank, and found that there was a hollow underneath, at this time, look carefully at the plank, but it is a very secret secret door, made into the shape of a loose leaf, you can reach out and push and pull, once pulled, there is a thick layer of soil on the surface, no matter what, you can't see anything strange.
It's just that the smell inside is a little stale and sour, and it's obviously not a good place to go.
Everyone looked at each other, secretly vigilant in their hearts.
In Wang Zuxian's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Xiao Qian is nominally the "fiancΓ©e" of the old demon of Montenegro, but in essence, she is a tool used by the tree spirit grandmother to curry favor with the old demon of Montenegro, marrying her to a powerful old demon to win favor and protection.
However, the old demon of Montenegro is a giant demon who lives in the underworld, not to mention how he is capable, just how to enter the underworld, everyone is black-eyed and helpless.
Now that I think about it, the Lord has obviously made some corrections here-the catacombs or something, in ancient times, wasn't it also called the underworld.
"Now that I think about it, there are a lot of tricks in it."
Qin Fen exhaled and said, "For example, this mountain temple stands in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are no households around, who will come to make offerings?" β
"How can a mountain god who has no tribute protect pedestrians?"
"In other words, the purpose of the establishment of this mountain temple is not a sacrifice at all, but it is built next to the cemetery, which is naturally to hide people's eyes and ears, not only to attract displaced people, but also to secretly enter and exit, reducing the possibility of being discovered."
As they spoke, everyone had completely dug up the entrance of the cave, revealing a passage of a black hole, which was surprisingly wide, and there was no big problem for people to walk upright, and the direction was just under the wilderness to the west of the mountain temple, and there was a cold wind blowing from time to time, with an unpleasant rancid smell.
The existence of this passage proves one thing, that is, this mountain temple was indeed built to hide people's eyes and ears and rob the tomb, and this passage at this time is estimated to be a robbery hole.
"A group of tomb robbers discovered the existence of the ancient tomb, in order to hide people's eyes and ears to build a mountain temple that no one worshipped, just with the intention of making a fortune, but failed to take their lives back, the corpses we saw the day before yesterday, the clothes on the body did not show signs of decay, obviously not out of the tomb...... Alright, let's go inside. β
β¦β¦
It stands to reason that walking in such a dark environment at this time is quite frightening, but for adventurers, night vision is really not a problem.
However, everyone is also thick and fine, and it is inevitable that someone will block the way out in the rear, and every time they walk, they must let the witch Meng Meng depict the magic circle, and slowly push it in.
The Titan who walked in the front raised a huge tower shield in his hand, almost like a wall, covering everyone, he seemed to be taking big steps, but in fact, after every step he took and landed, he stepped very calmly.
Qin Fen's observation was quite keen, and after a careful inspection, he found that there were two kinds of chisel marks on the cave wall: on the left and right walls, it was obvious that the traces were excavated with hoes and shovels, but on the top wall, the traces left were sharp and slender, as if they were forcibly raised with some claws. This situation should be that when the first hole was dug out, it was a person doing this work, but then the monsters in the cemetery also entered and exited from here, and it was inconvenient to enter and retreat, so they dug it up with their claws.
After walking nearly 100 meters along this thief hole, there was a sudden shout in front:
"Here we are."
Then there was the sound of someone throwing stones to explore the way, followed by the sound of someone jumping down. Qin Fen followed the procession, and after a short time, he came to the outer wall of the tomb.
Qin Fen took a closer look, this outer wall was actually made of a kind of gray-black stone, each stone was about the size of a tabletop, and there was actually a moire-like pattern carved out of it, but the pattern also formed a person's smiling face, in such an environment, he suddenly felt evil. If you look closely at the robbery hole, you can see that you have dug a stone gap in the outer wall and pushed it in with brute force, so that if the hole is higher than the ground, then the stone that has been pushed forward can also be used as a stepping stone.
The bright searchlight was lit up, and the blazing white light illuminated the scenery inside the cave, which was more dazzling than the daylight during the day.
Lin Yueru, the girl, leaned over in surprise to take a closer look at what a treasure this was, and Ai Jia'er had already pulled her over:
"You can't stare at it, you'll be blind."
"Huh?" Lin Yueru was startled, although she was still curious, she didn't dare to continue looking.
At this time, with the light of the strong searchlight, Qin Fen already had a general understanding of the surrounding environment, the tomb that everyone was in at this time was so large, not to mention the size of a basketball court, there should be murals on the walls of the tomb, but because the robbery hole had been opened for a long time, it was oxidized. There is no colorful situation, only a cloud of pitch black, but you can also imagine the splendor of the past, but now it looks like a ghost dancing. It's very wicked.
Probably for the safety of the tomb, so in this hall, if the stone pillars the thickness of the bucket are lined up, at a glance, faintly enough. In addition, in the hall, there is also a black thing like a coffin and a cabinet, about two meters long and about one meter wide, and it stands there eeriely, which is particularly mysterious.
The outermost black coffin had been toppled, and there were only a few scattered burial goods inside, but it was not known what was buried.
"Why don't you open the other coffins and take a look?"
Qin Fen thought about it and nodded slightly.
Before they came in, everyone had already made a battle plan-
For the sake of safety, pushing all the way through, naturally he will not let go of such a huge coffin community and ignore it.
Seeing Qin Fen nodding, Nina chuckled lightly, threw down two seeds casually, and with a pool of clear water, those two seeds suddenly grew at an incredible speed, completing the growth from juvenile to adult in just a few seconds.
In the past few days, Lin Yueru has been mixed with everyone, and she is not surprised by this scene.
After the vines grow, they are intertwined with each other, forming a vague vine man, striding towards the nearest coffin, and opening the coffin roughly.
The coffin contained nothing but a white skeleton and a few pieces of rotting clothing. Qin Fen acted cautiously, lest the contents of it be poisonous, so he let the vine man carefully pull it a few times, and then the dry white bones of the forest slid out of it, and then the skull grunted out, hit the stone pillar next to it and shattered.
Obviously, there are dry bones inside.
In this way, four or five coffins were opened, and the same as the first one, and everyone was inevitably a little slack.
Just as the sixth coffin was opened, a fishy wind suddenly blew in his face.
"Roar!"
With a roar of rage, a dead corpse warrior wearing rusted iron armor and his face weathered into a dry corpse suddenly jumped out of it.
The corpse warrior drew his sword and roared, and slashed at the vine giant.
"Sure enough, there are traps."
The Titan screamed, dodged and pounced, a turn-over fall, common in Brazilian judo, to the back of the corpse general, and then raised his leg and swept it, knocking the thing directly to the ground.
Immediately after that, a 360-degree large rotation on the spot, the snow-bright axe shone on the clearing, and the afterimage seemed to be a rapidly rotating afterimage out of thin air, and even the ground trembled.
The smoke and dust were filled, cracks appeared on the ground, and the chest of the corpse general suddenly sank down, and the sound of bones breaking was like a firecracker, endlessly, but such an attack obviously couldn't knock down the other party, and the corpse general was still struggling to get up.
At this time, Hawkeye suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Be careful! There seems to be something strange about the stone pillars! β
Everyone looked up and took a closer look, and suddenly there was a creepy feeling, it turned out that the stone pillar looked carefully, it was uneven, as if there was some thick foreign body wrapped around it!
At this time, everyone gathered around to see, only to find that on the stone pillar, it turned out to be a giant millipede carved out of the relief technique, up to more than ten meters, winding and coiling on the stone pillar, vivid, lifelike, even the red letter spit out of the lips were cleverly depicted, the ferocious and hideous portrayal vividly.
What is a millipede?
Exactly the centipede!
Seeing this, everyone was a little puzzled, could it be that the monster in this tomb is not the old demon of Black Mountain, but the centipede national teacher?
Although everyone made a joke, they became more cautious, after all, things became more and more confusing.
The crowd smashed dozens of coffins here, and also killed a lot of ironclad warriors, and found that the probability of monsters appearing was about three or one.
At this time, if you get closer to the depths of this tomb, you can find that there is a high platform made of stone in the middle of the hall, and there is also a strange thing like a coffin and a box in the high platform, but this thing is painted vermilion, and there are some strange patterns on the wall, as if it is worshipping by the rest of the strange boxes.
At this time, everyone rushed forward and kicked down the coffin-like thing on the high platform, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry was spilled inside, but unfortunately it could not attract everyone's attention.
Because inside is a corpse warrior in gold armor!
