The nine skulls in the mercury lake were completely above the surface, but that was the end of it, the skulls swirled in the water, as if they were being pulled by something.

Bai Yu walked to Jiang Yuan's side, pointed to the skull and said, "Did you see it, this is the blood guard, if you hadn't come out to make trouble just now, I would have opened the coffin smoothly, so why be trapped here." ”

I was about to ask her what was the matter, but I saw that the skull in the mercury beard stopped spinning, and suddenly next to them suddenly jumped guards in fiery red armor, their faces were already blackened, and the smell of blood was disgusting, and they jumped out of the water and landed around the coffin on the floating platform, drawing their scimitars from their waists as if they were guarding the owner of the coffin.

Jiang Yuan and I wanted Qianjue to move there, Bai Yun stood in place and watched for a moment and followed us, seeing that Qianjue was still stunned in front of the mural on the wall, so he went up and slapped him, it was this time, Qianjue attacked him like crazy again, fortunately we stopped in time, and this time, Qianjue's target no longer seemed to be us, but the nine blood guards.

I suddenly thought of what Bai Yun said, and asked, "You said that there should be ten undead guards in this tomb, right?" ”

Bai Yun said "um" and said, "Yes, that's what is said in ancient books, but there are exceptions. ”

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yun looked at Qianjue's hideous expression and said, "Immortal guard, since you are immortal, it is eternal life." ”

I let out an "ah" and looked at Qian Jue, at this moment, he was walking towards the Mercury Lake with red eyes, Bai Yu stepped forward to stop but was slapped on his left shoulder by him, fortunately Jiang Yuan protected her so as not to fall into the Mercury Lake.

I looked back at the white clouds. scolded: "You don't have any gossip here to confuse the public, what doesn't die is eternal life." Qianjue was raised by her parents, and it won't be what you say. ”

Bai Yun explained, "You didn't understand what I meant. I mean—"

"Bang dang".

Before he finished speaking, three of the nine blood guards who were standing around the coffin had jumped to our side, their scimitars still shining with cold light after a thousand years, and the blades were extremely sharp like demons from hell, trying to devour everything here.

Qian Jue seemed to have regained his senses, and when he woke up, he found that he was already standing on the edge of the mercury lake, and he was immediately frightened to take two steps back, and at this time, the main burial chamber began to appear blue light. The blue light mainly came from the top of the coffin, that is, the hanging platform on the top of the tomb hall, the blue light covered by the mercury lake bubbles churning, more and more skeletons rushed to jump out of the lake, and the walls illuminated by the blue light appeared to crack the wall, large pieces of wall skin and countless wall tiles began to fall off, a skeleton claw struggled to stick out of the wall, five fingers stretched out as if moving the joint.

The blue light became more and more widespread, and the floor inside the tomb began to bulge. The skeletons were coming out of the ground, and the ones on the walls were gathering, and I looked at the large and small skeletons that kept coming out of the broken parts of the wall, and shouted, "Go up and take down the things from the hanging platform." ”

Jiang Yuan was entangled by three blood guards and couldn't get out for a while. And Bai Yun and Qianjue were surrounded by skeletons drilled out of the wall, and they were also lacking in skills at the moment, and only Bai Yu was still standing beside me when I looked left and right. I looked at the little girl helplessly, "How are you doing?" ”

Bai Yu shook his head. Snapping off a skull that was approaching her and was about to attack her, the click made my hairs stand on end.

"Alright. It's you. ”

I pulled the white feather and jumped on the coffin, and then took out the climbing rope from the backpack and threw it up, the rope buckle was just stuck on the loop buckle of the hanging platform above, and I pulled it hard to feel safe, my own weight is impossible to rely on this climbing rope to go up, the only hope is the white feather.

Bai Yu pursed her lips and smiled, as if she looked at me with some disdain, there was a hand holding the climbing rope, jumped on the climbing rope with one foot, and climbed up the rope, she was slender and moved lightly, and she reached the hanging platform in a few clicks, just when I thought that the crisis was about to be lifted, Bai Yu fell from it with a scream, and when he was about to fall into the mercury lake, Jiang Yuan grabbed the equipment belt around Bai Yu's waist with one hand, and then shook it hard, Bai Yu's body was light and dexterous in the air to adjust the balance of his body and landed smoothly, The moment she landed, she twisted a skeletal arm that reached for her, and a withered hand was still on her hand as if trying to grasp something.

Because I was in the coffin, the remaining six blood guards had been staring at me since just now, and they were slower to react when I came up, but it was very difficult for me to go down now.

"Yuan'er, rope."

The climbing rope was thrown out towards Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan twisted the head of a blood guard and caught the rope I threw out, and then pulled hard, and I also jumped off the coffin, and those blood guards who were alarmed by me also crossed the mercury lake and began to move towards us.

Bai Yun grabbed the arms of the two skeletons in his hand, kicked them off, and threw them aside, and then shouted at me: "There are more and more skeletons, most of them are caused by the blue light, and then find a way to get to that hanging platform." ”

Bai Yu tied up his long hair, panting and breaking out from among the dozen skeletons, and when he came to his side, he pulled me along and moved towards Baiyun, saying as he walked, "No, the things on it can't be touched." ”

"Why? So what's on it? I asked her.

White Feather kicked over a skeleton that was trying to grab me, breaking its neck with a kick that sent the skull straight into the mercury lake.

As he walked, he said: "There is a pot of flowers on the hanging platform, you can't get close, as long as you get close, you will feel like a fire, if you force yourself to get close to it, I'm afraid it will burn even the bones left." ”

Jiang Yuan also rushed over to make peace with us after solving the three blood guards, and when I arrived at Qian Jue's side, he suddenly stuffed me with a key, "Use this, open the outer defense lock of the coffin, if the sky does not kill us, there will be something to restrain the demon lotus in the first layer of the coffin." ”

I recognized this key as the one I had placed on him earlier, it was the one I found from the mezzanine of the Xiao family's old mansion, and it was something left by my real uncle.

"Yuan'er, you come with me." I don't dare to let Bai Yu join me anymore, after all, women belong to yin, and it is not a good thing to be in this thousand-year-old entrance tomb.

Jiang Yuan and I jumped on the floating platform again, the blue light at this moment has illuminated the entire tomb, more and more skeletons drilled out from all directions, Jiang Yuan and I began to look for the location of the mechanism outside the coffin, but after looking for a long time, let alone the mechanism, there is not a single seam on the surface of the coffin, I try to calm my heart and look for it slowly.

"Yuan'er, have you found it?"

"No, there's not even a crack in its surface."

"Listen to me, this is a hexahedron, and if five faces don't bear fruit, then you can only hope for the sixth side."

Jiang Yuan immediately understood what I meant, but there was mercury underneath, and if it went on like this, even if the mechanism was opened, the person who went into the water would die of mercury poisoning.

"I'll go." I took off my gear bag and prepared to go down.

Jiang Yuan stopped me and said, "If you go on like this, you'll die, so I'll come." ”

"It's the same if you go down, in my opinion, we can do it another way."

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Yuan asked me.

I looked at the mercury under the floating platform, and suddenly thought of a way, as long as the mercury is gone, then it's okay. (To be continued.) )
