Chapter Seventy-Four: The World Behind the Wall
As soon as the black wolf had finished speaking, his foreign mercenary men casually threw a cloth bag with a respirator at me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I picked up the cloth bag, carefully put on the breathing equipment, and said to the leaves and Wang Ye, "Wait for me to come back", and followed the steps of the black wolf, and walked into the doorway that rose from the ground without hesitation.
Soon, we came to the "world" on the other side of the Wall of the Dead.
It was a strange journey.
The ground around the skull wall was constantly seeping into the ground, and the muddy bottom was very difficult to walk, and the closer we got to the wall of dead men, the more slowly we moved forward and walked together, and when I was about to pass through the semicircular doorway that rose from the ground, it took me a long day to pull my feet out of the mud and water with every step I took.
Every time I pulled my feet, I would bring with me a large number of various bones and black pottery, as if it was a killing hell.
The five of us walked step by step along the wall of the mechanism built by the ancients under the leadership of the black wolf, perhaps shocked, or apprehensive, in short, everyone was walking the road under their feet wholeheartedly, and no one cared about him.
In this way, everyone marched one foot deep and one foot shallow, and soon passed through the wall about four or five meters thick, inlaid inside and out, and stacked with dead people.
And the scenery there was completely beyond my expectations.
Red, a blooming and bewitching red, instantly filled my eyes.
On the side of the wall of the dead man in Hei Lamber, there is a large circular space of several hundred square meters, and on the ground of that space, dozens or nearly 100 stone coffins surrounded by concentric circles are densely arranged.
The most peculiar thing about those coffins is that on top of their coffins, there are many, many, many strange flowers that are red, four petals, and shaped like skeletons.
Those bewitching Miaojiang goddess flowers are smiling at us.
The skeleton demon flowers are all open on the top of the lid of the coffin, they are the same as Xianyundu's account back then, all of them have no branches and leaves, no chlorophyll, and no roots, these flowers are simple, just like a big stick standing on those stone coffins, the stick is black, and the top is connected to red flowers, the flowers are the size of a palm, and the "wooden stick" is the thickness of a thumb.
Countless flowers, blooming on those blue-black stone coffins, seem to be red and black blood skeletons, smiling at us.
This scene is shocking.
Intrigued, I gazed at the flower, at the legendary creature, and thought about the secrets it contained.
At this moment, the black wolf suddenly walked over, patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" But you can't touch it, and if you touch it, you'll die. ”
When I came, Hyun Hongye told me about the dangers of this flower, so I was a little wary of it, but when the black wolf said these words, I wondered how he knew, and from his air, I suddenly heard that the black wolf also knew more about this plant.
So I asked him, "How much do you know about this flower?" ”
The black wolf shook his head and said, "Not much, but I heard from my boss that this thing can't be pulled out of the stone, otherwise it will release toxins, and then people will definitely die." ”
I nodded, withdrew my curious gaze, and continued to ask the black wolf, "Then what are we looking for here?" ”
The black wolf stretched out his hand, pointed to the center of the circular space, and said, "He! ”
Following the words of the black wolf, I immediately reversed the flashlight in my hand.
Everywhere the beam went, a "black iron" coffin, much smaller than all the coffins, appeared in front of our eyes.
Compared with the ordinary sarcophagus next to it, the coffin was only a little more than one person's size, as if the person who built the coffin was very stingy, or the iron material used to make the coffin was not enough.
Unexpectedly, the surface of the coffin was polished unusually smooth, I used a flashlight to shine, it actually showed a mirror-like reflection, in addition, I also saw that there seemed to be no text clues on the mirror, the whole coffin was like a long black building block.
This coffin, and the only one that does not grow skeleton demon flowers, is smooth and clean, without any traces of rust, and has a modern and simple beauty, which is not like the creation of the ancients, only on the top of the coffin lid there are some black, iron chains remain, and the retention period.
"A coffin?" I spoke, "What is in the coffin is probably the last Su King of the Helan Bo people. ”
"I don't care what it is." The black wolf said to me emotionlessly: "Taking the money, finding the coffin, and paying the errand are the only things I have to do now." As for you, I've shown you what you want to see. Just leave with us for a while, as long as you don't talk nonsense after you go out, I won't kill you. ”
I was helpless, and I didn't know how to answer the black wolf, but after he said this, he ignored me, just turned his head and commanded his mercenary men to start the process of carrying the black iron coffin.
I have to say that although these people are fierce and vicious, they are still very professional in their work.
At this time, the three mercenaries brought by the black wolf first carefully removed the sarcophagus with the skull demon flowers blooming, and then paved a plastic sheet-like thing in the direction of the black iron coffin.
When everything was ready, they sprinkled the plastic sheet with engine oil, and then the three mercenaries, led by the black wolf, carefully lifted the small black iron coffin and placed it on the plastic sheet, and then with the help of the oil layer between the plastic sheet and the coffin, the friction of the black iron coffin was instantly reduced.
Then the black wolf and the other two mercenaries let go of their hands, and the coffin was pushed by the last man and walked outside.
At the same time, the mercenaries from outside the Wall of the Dead also approached, and they continued to pave the way with plastic sheeting, and then, little by little, extended the temporary "track" in the direction we came.
During the whole process, everyone did not say a word. I stood silently beside them, watching the men in gas masks do everything, watching them push the coffin of unknown content past me, and over the black walls and holes.
But at this moment, the person pushing the coffin in front of him suddenly did not have the strength under his feet, he slipped between the soft mud and hydrated earth, and then instinctively reached out and held a sarcophagus used for burial next to him.
One of that kid's hands inadvertently broke a blooming Miaojiang goddess flower!
My head buzzed.
