Chapter 158: A fork in the road
Yang Ying looked at the situation opposite and gasped. Fortunately, everyone found this platform and jumped over, otherwise they would have been gnawed by that group of weird insects.
Everyone looked at the situation in front of them and secretly rejoiced that they had finally escaped the catastrophe and did not die.
"What are we going to do now? Do you keep going, or do you want to take a break? Zhao Yun asked out loud.
"Let's sit down and rest for a while! Just now, I was half tired and half dead from the fat man, and I almost fucking fell down and gave the bugs as a snack! His grandma's! The fat man muttered and sat down, beads of sweat on his forehead. There is no way, the fat man is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of heights, which is his Achilles' heel.
"Brother Zhou, I really want to thank you, if you hadn't dragged me just now, I would have caused the rotten meat in the stomach of the worm now!" Ma Yun wiped a cold sweat while thanking the fat man.
"Hey, you don't have to thank me, you said I'm standing next to you, can I not drag you? If I'm in the innermost and you let me pull it, I don't have that reaction time, do I? The fat man touched his head a little embarrassed, "Since everyone is in trouble together, shouldn't we be able to pull a hand?" ”
"Yo, fat man, when did you have this realization? Isn't this your habit when you see your baby fall out? Yang Ying quipped.
"You fucking go to the side, can this man be the same as a baby? Although there were some reflexes just now...... Hehe......" The fat man rolled his eyes and glared at Yang Ying while laughing.
"Okay, let's rest for a while, I don't know what dangers will await us next." Professor Ye said that, and then pulled Ye Shan to sit down.
"Everybody be careful. That demon doesn't know where to hide yet, don't let it sneak up. Be vigilant. Yang Ying instructed and sat down beside the fat man. Everyone else sat down one after another.
At this time, Yang Yingcai carefully observed the surrounding environment. This platform is about four or five meters wide, and there are hard stone walls on both sides of the platform, and the inside of the platform seems to be a little bright, I don't know if there is a permanent lantern there, but there are no other anomalies.
After everyone sat down, they finally relaxed slightly, and the nerves that were tense just now could also relax a little. As soon as the fat man sat down, he shouted that he was hungry, so Ye Shan found a compressed biscuit from the backpack he had thrown in advance and threw it to him. On the one hand, he complained that the fat man was hungry too fast, and he was afraid that there would not be enough dry food to eat, and he would be hungry next. The fat man was chewing biscuits while looking at Ye Shan and smirking, while Xu Huairen was blowing his beard and staring at him.
Zhao Yun, who was sitting next to Yang Ying, asked Professor Ye opposite, "Teacher, what kind of bug did you encounter before?" Is it also a kind of mechanism in the ancient tomb? ”
Everyone looked at Professor Ye and waited for his explanation.
"It should be." Professor Ye nodded after hearing this, "These insects should be refined using secret methods. It was sealed somewhere near the tomb door in a specific way, and the bugs must have been in suspended animation before. Once the trap is triggered and the tomb door falls, the bugs will be awakened. Run out and devour everything in front of you, so that the contents of the tomb will not be stolen by the tomb robbers, so that the tomb robbers will not return. And the gap in this paragraph. It is to prevent insects from devouring the tomb and even the tomb owner, so it is just a way out. ”
"These bugs are too powerful. He devoured the stone tomb under his feet! Ma Yun turned his head to look at the dark patch opposite, frowned and said.
"I don't think the grave road on the other side is a stone grave road. It should be made with special clay. It should be mixed with some alkaline clay, limestone or carbonate rock. Yang Ying put her hands around her chest, "And the things secreted by those insects must contain extremely high concentrations of biological acids, so they will corrode the tomb under their feet, not by them, but by their body fluids." But maybe the tomb has some of their favorite food mixed in. ”
"Where did you know that? You're not guessing, are you? Xu Huairen looked at Yang Ying with some doubts.
Yang Ying nodded, "Yes, I guessed." ”
Xu Huairen listened, with an expression of 'look, yes'. But then, what Yang Ying said surprised him.
"Because I've encountered insect jade before, I feel like they're very similar, so that's why I guessed so."
Professor Ye was taken aback when he heard Yang Ying's words, "What? Have you ever met Worm Jade? I've only seen it in the literature, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes! ”
The fat man said, "I said, Professor Ye, that thing is not a good thing, don't see it!" That's a wicked thing! ”
Ye Shan asked, "Why?" ”
"Ask Yingzi, damn it, that thing cost my brother a hand!" The fat man sighed, and he was very depressed when he remembered what had happened in the northeast. His brother, his family, because that thing is gone, how can he not feel bad?
Ye Shan saw that the fat man's expression was wrong, so he didn't dare to ask again, and turned to look at Yang Ying.
Yang Ying sighed and said, "That time we met a black jade rakshasa made of insect jade...... Yang Ying leisurely talked about him and the fat man in the Northeast before, and everyone listened very attentively.
Everyone listened to the insect jade, and listened to some other things they experienced, and they were all surprised, surprised, and afraid. Even Xu Huairen didn't seem to have so much hostility towards them, and he also felt a little admiration and sadness in his heart.
The crowd sat for a while, silent, and the air seemed a little heavy.
"Alright, it's almost time to rest, let's go see what's in front of us!" Professor Ye was the first to stand up. The others also stood up one after another, some of them stretched, some patted the soil, and they all stood up and walked forward.
Everyone hadn't walked a few steps before the searchlight in Yang Ying's hand flickered a few times and went out. At this time, there were no other lighting tools, and the lantern ball on the fish's head was still outside the tomb gate, after all, it wouldn't be long before it left the body of the strange fish. The illumination range of cold fireworks is relatively small, and it is really not worth using at this time.
Fortunately, after the searchlight went out, you could see two flickering lights on the inside of the platform, which were probably the ever-bright lights in the tomb. Yang Ying motioned to everyone, and everyone cautiously approached the inside of the platform.
After everyone got closer, they saw that it was two stone cranes with stone plates in their mouths, and the plates were lit with everlasting lamps of mermaid cream. The two cranes are lifelike, fully demonstrating the exquisite skills of ancient stone carving. The two cranes are separated on both sides of the door of a tomb, and there are some stone murals on both sides of the cranes, which depict some beautiful scenery of the fairy palace with clouds and clouds, which should imply early ascension to bliss, and a burly figure with a hideous face in the mural made Yang Ying and his attention.
Professor Ye and others even observed the mural for a long time, and they couldn't hide their joy on their faces.
"I said, let's keep walking, don't ink here. Otherwise, you won't be able to go out and starve to death here, and no one will be able to find this ancient tomb, and no one will know about us here! The fat man said speechlessly.
Ye Shan muttered, "Fat brother, you really owe your mouth, can't you say that we can go out?" ”
The fat man spread his hands helplessly and looked at Yang Ying.
"Let's hurry into the tomb and have a look, it's important to get out as soon as possible." Yang Ying said that, and walked into the tomb first, and at this time, the jade plate hidden by Xiaoxue on his neck suddenly lit up!
Yang Ying's heart tightened when she saw this situation, could it be that there was something sneaky in this? Generally speaking, only when encountering something like a ghost, Xiaoxue will warn in the jade plaque. And ordinary little ghosts, Yang Ying can easily deal with them, and Xiaoxue will not warn him easily!
Everyone saw Yang Ying standing motionless at the door, and they all came over curiously, and at this time, Xiaoxue in the jade card also quieted down.
"Yingzi, are you alright?" The fat man asked, frowning.
"It's okay! Let's go inside! Yang Ying clenched the short sword at his waist and walked in, and when he saw the situation inside, he couldn't help frowning! Because there was nothing in the burial chamber, only three black holes in front and to the left and right! At this time, everyone was standing at the fork in the road, and the three black holes were bubbling with an eerie cold air, which was about to swallow everyone up! (To be continued......)
PS: I fell asleep last night, I made up for it early this morning, and there is a shift today in the evening!
