Chapter 16: The Tomb of the Ag Tassel (I)
Vincent looked at the swarthy cave about 3 meters high on the opposite side and chuckled, "Oh? Is it? This is the tomb of the Ag tassel you are talking about? By the way, who is the Ag tassel? ”
Listening to Vincent's words, the old wizard raised his head proudly and said loudly: "Lord Ag Tassel is a great god of war in ancient times, and our Ager tribe was his servant back then, so after he sleeps, our tribe has guarded his tomb for generations. Lord Agtassel is a god, God will not die, there is a prophet prophecy, sooner or later, Lord Ag Tassel will wake up one day, and when the time comes, he will lead our tribe to become strong again. ”
Vincent pursed his lips disdainfully and said nonchalantly, "Oh? Seeing that your tribe is so weak, it is estimated that your Ag tassel-sama is not very powerful, in that case, then please take us in. ”
When the old wizard heard this, he was furious, and he scolded angrily: "Hmph, we people from the Ager tribe will not do anything disrespectful to the great gods, and bringing you here is already a great disrespect to Lord Agertassel, and if you want me to take you in, it is impossible." Even if you kill me, I won't agree. ”
Vincent gave him a hard look and whispered, "Well, since you want to die, I will fulfill you." With that, he grabbed the old wizard's neck, and before he could react, he snapped his neck with a "click".
The old wizard's neck rotated 180 degrees strangely, his face facing his back, Vincent sneered, and let go of the old wizard's corpse. Looking at the puzzled eyes of the people around him, Vincent said softly: "Who knows if there is a mechanism or something outside, in case we go in, it will be bad if he traps us inside with the engine turned off outside, okay, let's go." ”
With that, he led the rest of the group over the bone-laden cemetery to the cave. There are bones all over the ground, and there are white skeletons everywhere, and there is no place to stay, and people can only step on the bones, and from time to time there is a "click" sound of bones breaking. Gria was held in Li Yuqi's arms at this time, and she didn't dare to go to the ground if she was killed, all the bones looked extremely weird, as if they would be resurrected at any time, which made people can't help but feel creepy.
Finally, after everyone carefully walked through the cemetery, they came to the entrance of the cave, the cave was not high, only a little higher than the mountain, Li Yuqi and others, so that they could barely walk in without bending down. Vincent and the others walked into the cave, and turned on the small strong flashlight they carried with them, and there were obvious traces of artificial excavation on the four walls of the cave, which were very flat and smooth, extending all the way to the underground.
The crowd walked for about 20 minutes, and according to the angle of the slope, they were about 60 or 70 meters underground. You know, it's all rocks and very little soil, and if you want to dig such a cave, it's a big project for a primitive tribe like Ager who doesn't have advanced tools.
From time to time, there were strange whistling sounds in the cave, which were weird and full of eerie feelings, which made people feel creepy. Everyone walked cautiously forward, and suddenly, the ever-bright lamps embedded in the walls on both sides lit up strangely, emitting a dim light, illuminating the entire cave.
Vincent's scalp tingled when he saw it, his father was an explorer and had also explored many ancient cemeteries. His father once told Vincent that the fuel that could be stored for thousands of years and still illuminated like this was refined from the layer of fat oil on the human scalp, and then after special treatment, basically the fat and oil needed for a lamp could only be refined from the scalps of at least five people. If this Ag tassel is really a god as Cheru says, then he is certainly not a benevolent god.
Suddenly, Gria let out a scream, and following her gaze, Vincent saw skeletons appear in the passage of the cave, and he didn't know whether it was the people who had been buried or the people who had come to explore the treasure before. Vincent looked at it and said cautiously: "Everyone be careful, there is a good chance that there are mechanisms and other things here, pay attention to your feet and sides when walking." ”
Ye Feiruo took out a small instrument from her bag, fiddled with it a few times, and said softly: "The air content here is normal, there are no toxic gases, there should be a special ventilation duct, don't worry about suffocation or poisoning for the time being." ”
After listening to Ye Feiruo's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk forward cautiously, and suddenly, the mountain that was walking in the first place stopped suddenly. His face twitched slightly, and he saw that the sole of the foot he had just stepped out had sunk strangely. At this moment, countless small holes suddenly opened in the walls on both sides, and rows of crossbow arrows shot out from them.
Ye Feiruo, who had been on guard, danced with both hands, and a wall of fire rose out of thin air, surrounding everyone inside, the temperature of the wall of fire was extremely high, so that the crossbow arrows would be burned and carbonized in an instant after being shot inside, even if they were lucky enough to shoot through the wall of fire on people's bodies, the arrows that had been carbonized had no power, and they could not shoot into people's skin at all, but exploded into a cloud of flying ashes.
There were three waves of crossbow arrows, and after the shot, they were gone, and there was a sweet fragrance wafting in the air. This smell is the smell produced after the poison is burned by the fire, and the crossbow arrows just now must be smeared with poison, one is to increase its power, and the other is to prevent embalming. If Ye Feiruo hadn't reacted in time just now, once anyone was scratched even a little bit of skin by the crossbow arrow, they would have to wait for death in this place where the bird didn't.
After experiencing this danger, Vincent and the others became more cautious, and there were many traps along the way, most of which were arrows, falling rocks, pits, swing axes, etc., which were still very easy to deal with. The flying arrow is the kind of poisonous arrow that has been smeared with poison just now, and the falling rock is that as soon as you step on the mechanism, a large boulder will suddenly fall on your head, but it is not a big problem to have the two violent elements of Dashan and Li Yuqi. The pit is a sudden collapse of the ground, causing everyone to fall into a large pit, and there are rows of sharp spears stuck under the pit, but everyone is good, so it's okay to be careful. The pendulum axe is a sudden crack in the wall, and a long-handled axe sways back and forth in the passage, which will split people in half if you are not careful, but this is the least threatening, there is a big mountain, and the pendulum axe made of metal will directly evaporate.
The group walked cautiously forward, and finally came to the end after half an hour.
