Chapter 24: The Chamber of Secrets

When the stone wall depicting the witch god cracked a huge opening, some mysterious power seemed to be broken, and a cold and biting whirlwind rose out of nowhere, whirling out of the broken black hole in the stone wall, and directly swept over the place where the high priest performed the mysterious ceremony, and the snake blood that was burning was all extinguished at once.

And the high priest was coerced by the whirlwind, and suddenly lost his strength, his whole body twitched violently~,,, twitched, and he suddenly lay on the ground, straight ~,,, stiff~,,, stiff and did not move.

The strange whirlwind disappeared immediately, and although I, Yuan Meng, and An An were not blown by the whirlwind, they felt a chill on their skin at the same time, and they had a cold shiver for no reason.

I was startled, hurriedly ran forward, reached out and touched the carotid artery of the high priest who fell to the ground, Yuan Meng and An An came over and looked at me together, I shook my head, stood up and said, "He's fine, it's just that the physical exertion is too great, fainting, it shouldn't be a big deal to take a rest." ”

The two beauties breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and I was unimpressed by their overflowing sympathy, this old creature had miserably killed us tonight, and it was better to die, and in my experience, the veins of this stray were so meager that even if they didn't die, they would have to peel off their skin. I can't do that much, I'm left to fend for myself.

However, I was extremely curious about the mysterious ritual he had just performed, and the supernatural phenomenon that had just happened was only a few minutes, but it was enough to give me a glimpse of the ancient witchcraft of Europe. It struck me as a novelty, and I wasn't interested in juggling before, but the scene was enough to get my attention. Let me re-examine this strange secret art that has been secretly circulated for thousands of years on the European continent, and it does have its own uniqueness that no one knows.

But now is not the time for me to conduct scientific research, the ultimate goal is in front of me, and I have to do big things first.

I stepped over the high priest's body, walked over to the crack in the stone wall in front of me, and tentatively shone a flashlight inside.

The opening is large, about forty centimeters, and it is easy for an adult to walk into. Inside the mouth was a dark secret room, and my flashlight slowly swept through it. Although the energy of the flashlight is extremely low, and the aperture that shoots ~,,, is scattered and yellow, the eyesight of our old corpse is only a little worse than that of a vampire, and it is more than enough to see the secret room inside.

The secret room is not large, only the size of a room, but there is a pitch-black sarcophagus in it, which occupies nearly two-thirds of the area of the secret room.

The sarcophagus was dusty and as fresh as new. Under the weak light of the flashlight, there was a strange black light, at first I thought it was basalt, but now it seems that it is not. Because the facets of basalt can't be so smooth. With my eyesight, I think it's more like plexiglass, but it seems more unlikely that a coffin made of plexiglass was made in the Middle Ages in Europe four hundred years ago.

I frowned, and I am afraid that non-tomb robbers would not be able to dispel my expertise in this area.

The black coffin in the secret room, which is as smooth as new, invisibly gives people a sense of depression and makes people very uncomfortable. I'm not a tomb robber after all, unlike their instinctive fanaticism for ancient coffins.

An An and Yuan Meng also leaned over to look inside at this time, and from their strange eyes, I knew that the black sarcophagus was definitely no less shocking to them than mine.

The three of us couldn't help but look at each other, I was the only man of the three, and now was the time for me to show my manhood, so I took a deep breath and prepared to step inside.

The two beauties grabbed me at the same time, one left and one right, and said together, "Be careful! ”

I nodded solemnly and squeezed sideways in.

The chamber was low and cramped, and was even more cramped when it was occupied by a huge sarcophagus the size of a double bed. I slipped along the edge of the secret room, and I didn't think that An An and Yuan Meng were afraid that I would have an accident, so they followed in.

As soon as they entered, the secret room seemed even more inseparable.

I walked around the sarcophagus with a flashlight and found that the huge coffin was not like in the ancient tomb, with a coffin bed underneath, but directly on the rocky floor. But its height and width surprised me, can a person fit such a large sarcophagus?

This huge sarcophagus looks like it fits perfectly, and how to open it has become a problem. I stepped forward and reached out to touch it, and it was cold and smooth, and I was relieved that the sarcophagus was as clean as new because of a thick layer of varnish on its surface.

It's just that whether its material is hard basalt or obsidian with a relatively brittle texture can only be known after smashing.

An An and Yuan Meng also helped me check it, and the huge black coffin did not have any gaps, of course, it may also be too delicately closed and difficult to find.

They straightened up and shook their heads, it seemed that they could only break the coffin by brute force. I pulled out a pickaxe from my backpack and waved to An An and Yuan Meng, motioning for them to go out so as not to be hurt by the stones I splashed when I smashed the sarcophagus.

An An and Yuan Meng went out one after another, and the two of them told me not to be brutal and to do it slowly little by little.

Of course, I wouldn't do it, so when they went out, I took a pickaxe and tested the hardness at the corner of the sarcophagus. Unexpectedly, as soon as I hit the pickaxe, there was a crisp sound, as if it had hit the glass jar, and seven or eight long cracks radiated from the point of the pickaxe to the depth of the sarcophagus. And near the point where the hammer hits, it has been shattered, and the steel hammer head has sunk into it for several centimeters.

I'll go, it's so crispy! I was startled by the pickaxe going down, and I lifted the pickaxe up, revealing a round black hole on the sarcophagus, and I felt the hole, and I knew it. Although I dare not be 100% sure, at least nine out of nine, this sarcophagus is made of obsidian.

Obsidian is known to be a dense massive or slag-like acidic vitreous volcanic rock with a very brittle texture and is divided into black and black-brown. It can be used as a raw material for decoration and jewelry. Obsidian bracelets sold in the market are made of obsidian. The price is very low, but obsidian is known as Black Vajra in Buddhism, and its blessing effect is extremely evil spirits. Also known in North America, the Tears of Yapache

The sarcophagus made of obsidian probably also means to suppress the vampire queen inside.

I held a pickaxe on the side of the sarcophagus, and with a snap, the whole side was easily shattered like a glass door.

Beneath the debris, a gray-white humanoid sarcophagus was revealed.

This is really a coffin chain, everyone knows that the outside is "coffin", and the inside is called "coffin", I only know that there is a coffin tomb system in ancient China, but I didn't expect that the European Middle Ages also existed. But I think this is probably a special case of accidental appearance, first of all, this humanoid sarcophagus is not filled with dead people, and the addition of a layer on the outside is nothing more than the use of obsidian's magnetic field to ward off evil spirits. And I haven't heard of any coffins or anything like that found in Europe.

Three times five divided by two, the outer coffin was cleaned up, and the humanoid sarcophagus inside was completely revealed.

At this time, the space of the secret room also became spacious, and An An and Yuan Meng both walked in and still didn't feel crowded.

The humanoid sarcophagus is the size of a single bed, and it is more common in Europe, especially in medieval tombs.

The three of us looked at the ancient gray-white sarcophagus, and an unspeakable shudder swept over our hearts. You must know that it is not a dead person who is buried inside, but a living person, and the living person is sealed in a closed space and cannot move, and he cannot die if he dies, for four hundred years, it makes people collapse when he thinks about it.

I don't know about others, but if it were me, I wouldn't have been able to survive even a minute. In this case, it is better to bite your tongue and kill yourself!

Oh yes, Elizabeth. Countess Bathory must have killed herself by biting her tongue, right? After the opening of the museum, won't all you face is a pair of dry bones!

As soon as I put this question to An An, she smiled and shook her head, and said, "No, vampires can't die even if they bite their tongues, and Count Turso won't even think of this." ”

That's good, otherwise victory is just around the corner, and after the coffin is opened, there will be empty joy, who can stand it.

I asked An An and Yuan Meng to lean back, ready to pry open this humanoid sarcophagus. Anyway, I'm not a tomb robber, and the legend of "lighting up in the southeast corner of the tomb, and the rooster crowing and not touching the gold" has nothing to do with me. And this is not a real grave, how can there be so many taboos.

This humanoid sarcophagus is said to be a sarcophagus, but it is actually a box carved in stone, with a lid on it, reinforced with mortise and tenon on all sides. As long as you pull out ~ ,,, the rivets around the perimeter, it is easy to open the coffin lid.

The unique pickaxe of the mountaineering pickaxe is overkill against a few rotten metal rivets, although it is the first time I have done this kind of work to open the tenon structure, but with the weapon in hand, I still effortlessly get up a dozen rivets that are almost rusty.

When I picked up the last rivet and threw it aside, I couldn't help but look up at An An and Yuan Meng.

The expressions of these two beauties were diametrically opposed, Yuan Meng was smiling with ~ ,,, nervousness, while An An was a little abnormal, her face was pale, and a pair of sky-blue eyes flashed with a sharp cold light. Maybe the nervousness is a little too much.

I took a deep breath, lifted the pickaxe, aimed it at the side gap of the humanoid sarcophagus, and chiseled it down with a brush, the sharp tip of the pickaxe effortlessly ate into the gap three fingers deep.

I suppressed my nervousness and said to An An and Yuan Meng, "Be careful! I'm open the coffin! ”

As he spoke, with a force of his wrist, the tip of the pickaxe pried the lid of the coffin, clicked the ground, and made an extremely toothy sound, and the coffin lid that was not heavy fell off in response.
