Chapter 31: The Rancid Cauldron
Walking down the big pit, there was a dirt hole that had been squeezed out by force, and it was pitch black inside, and several people moved the damaged car to the hole, tied one end of the rope to the car, and then walked down one by one while holding on to the rope while staring at the surrounding mud wall.
Walking down from the mud hole, there was a foul smell, and Fan Lifu endured the stench and jumped to the ground, and found that it was a tunnel, surrounded by mud and stone walls, and some murals were carved on the walls.
He walked up to the mural, and the blue light rushed up the back of his hand, illuminating the mural in front of him.
It was an army marching on the steppe, all dressed as Mongol soldiers, a few of them sitting on horses, shooting arrows at the enemy behind them, and these enemy troops were very much like European knights, heavy armor, heavy armor, running behind and unable to catch up with the light cavalry.
Fan Li glanced around, there were tunnels in front and back, this hole was straight down from above, whether it was a corpse pit in front or behind, Fan Li was really unsure, he closed his eyes and listened carefully to the voices around him, and suddenly a shout scared him so much that the spirit turned into a long knife.
"What are you doing here?"
Fan Li saw that he was holding a long knife and pointing at a person, this person was Qin Ziyang, and the long knife stabbed into her shoulder, oozing blood.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was shocked when you suddenly jumped down!"
Fan Li quickly drew his sharp knife, and the spirit immediately turned into a flashlight.
"Don't make a fuss, hurry up and decide where to go."
Black smoke flowed out of Qin Ziyang's wound, and the blood quickly coagulated.
"I was just trying to find out which direction I was going to, and just as I wanted to use the sound of the spirit to determine the location, you jumped down, and scared me enough."
As soon as she finished speaking, Martha also jumped down, but not as babbling as Qin Ziyang, followed by the panda.
Fan Li closed his eyes again, and sure enough, there was a buzzing sound, and it was towards ...... Coming from both directions?
Fan Li opened his eyes and looked to the side, it was pitch black ahead, there was no end in sight, and there was no fork in the road.
"What result?"
Qin Ziyang asked.
"It seems to be...... Two directions. ”
Fan Li smiled helplessly.
"If it's two directions, it's normal, it's tricky, in ancient times, there would be a few corpse pits, because there were too many corpses, and the underground space was limited, so it was impossible to pile them all together." Let's go our separate ways. Panda suggested. Okay, what if you go your separate ways and run into danger? Fan hesitated. Dangerous? Then overcome the danger. Qin Ziyang patted Fan Li's shoulder. I'll go all the way with you, and I'll take care of you, a rookie. She turned to the panda and threw him a lighter. If you find the body, you can find a way to burn it, and if you don't have combustibles, use Barrett, listen, this lighter is a limited edition, don't break it for me. "Yes." After the panda finished speaking, he nodded at Martha, and the two of them took out their flashlights and walked in one direction. "Let's go, let's not be idle, let's see who burns the corpse first." After Qin Ziyang finished speaking, he walked forward, and suddenly thought that he didn't turn on the flashlight, so he touched his body, and then saw a blue light coming, and Fan Li handed her a flashlight. "The Regent is a good thing." Qin Ziyang took the flashlight, and the two walked towards the front together. "I have a question, if the 'Ant Nest' builds the prison in the Tomb, will you meet the Ant Nest' people, or will their robots be all over the Tomb?" "You think too much, Lanpa doesn't have so much energy to develop the entire tomb, it is said that this is a giant tomb, and it is three ancient tombs stacked together, Lanpa dug through the center of the three tombs, and put the prison in the middle, so that with the help of the aura of the tomb, it will also get the effect of exorcism." Fan Li wanted to say that the tomb where Yin Qi had accumulated for a long time might be the source of evil qi, but he didn't mention it, just nodded as if he was being taught. After walking for five minutes, the surroundings had just fallen silent, Fan Li had just become vigilant, and Qin Ziyang spoke up again. "Are you tomb robbers usually the most afraid of insects, such as corpse insects, thousand-year-old centipedes, thousand-year-old scorpions and the like." "First, I'm not a tomb robber, I'm a soul thief, and I deal with the evil spirits generated by the accumulation of yin qi in the tomb for a long time, so we often go down to the tomb, and the people on the ground are called heavenly masters or ghost catchers, and we are specialized in catching ghosts underground. Second, with you, I'm not afraid of corpse insects, as for things like thousand-year-old centipedes and thousand-year-old scorpions, don't you know as an entomologist? "Wow, I'll just say this, you give me this whole tirade." Qin Ziyang didn't pay attention to the surrounding scene at all, and only looked at Fan Li, and Fan Lixi needed to keep an eye on the movements around him at all times to prevent them from straying into the trap. Going deep into the tomb, Fan Li felt that the stench in front of him was getting stronger and stronger, he seemed to hear the sound of boiling water, and it was getting closer and closer, and insects like small scorpions began to emerge around him, Qin Ziyang was relieved and boldly grabbed one in his hand. "There's movement ahead." Fan Li reminded. "It seems to be a ...... Cauldron? Qin Ziyang looked at Fan Li. There's a cauldron inside the tomb? "It seems to be right, it seems to be a cauldron full of boiling water." The sound got closer and closer, and an entrance suddenly appeared next to it, and the two people poked their heads out and saw that there was indeed a cauldron with a diameter of about four meters inside, because the cauldron was more than two meters high, and Fan Li couldn't see what was in it. He turned the Regent into a long ladder and erected it against the wall. "You're going up? Don't want to die? If corrosive chemicals splatter inside, your handsome face will be ruined. Qin Ziyang warned. The only danger is you, as long as you don't push me in. Fan Lifu walked up the ladder, and he saw that there was a brown liquid inside, and bubbles kept coming out. Fan Li took a closer look, and there was something white in the billowing bubbles, as if they were white bones. "What the hell?" Qin Ziyang slapped Fan Li, so frightened that he almost fell down. "Human bones?" Qin Ziyang's voice surprised Fan Li, why could she still see the scene inside when she didn't climb up. "How do you know?" Fan asked as he jumped off the ladder. "See-through eyes?" "What a clair-eyed, pediatric!" Qin Ziyang pointed to a large patch of black insects on the roof, they were the size of a palm, similar to beetles, and had two chelicera, which were very hideous. "Corpse insect ......" Fan Liyang took a step back in fright after seeing it, Qin Ziyang stretched out his hand, and one flew down towards them, landing on Qin Ziyang's shoulder, Fan Li's swear that many people will never see this scene in their lives, such a big corpse insect must be extremely brutal, and it can easily tear open a person's stomach, but in front of Qin Ziyang, it is obedient like a pet. Wait, what about Martha and Panda, they don't have the power of you! Fan Li reminded. Rest assured, Martha has her own way of dealing with all this, or she wouldn't have agreed to go their separate ways. Qin Ziyang raised his shoulders, and the corpse insect spread its wings and flew away. I can see what insects see, and I can see the outline of an object with the help of the vibrations they produce and the infrared rays they emit, but I can't see too much of it, so that's why I asked you. "I see, it's like a scanner, you scan what you're seeing through the information on the insect." "That's right, you're smart, what the hell is that." Qin Ziyang looked up at the cauldron and asked. "Remember the stench we emitted when we killed Shawei? Those liquids, the liquids in the cauldron, should be the medium. I don't know if this is the case with other evil spirits, but things like Shawei need a medium when the soul enters the carrier. Qin Ziyang walked to the cauldron and bent down, and found that there was no fire inside. The liquid doesn't seem to be boiling, so could it be a spring? "It is very likely that in order to ensure the freshness of the liquid, the ancients could do anything, and now that they have found a medium, then the corpse pit is not far away." "No, if these liquids are only for the sake of mediums, then why are there so many human bones in them?" After Qin Ziyang finished speaking, the corpse insects on the wall suddenly swarmed down and squeezed at Qin Ziyang's feet, and then rushed out of the tunnel. "What's going on?" Fan asked Li. "There's movement." Fan Li didn't hear any strange sounds, the rustling sound of corpse insects in his ears had covered all sounds, and corpse insects rushed outside, and the sound of smashing things immediately came from outside. "Could it be that these corpse worms are protecting you? You're like the queen of the swarm in StarCraft ......? Qin Ziyang was completely stunned when he looked at Fan Li, and Fan Li was also slightly stunned when he looked at her. How? Fan asked again. You will still be joking at this time, it seems that you and Ye Yuning are becoming more and more husband and wife. There was another muffled sound in their ears, and Fan Li saw that the cauldron behind them was trembling slightly, and some brown liquid was already flowing out of the edge of the cauldron, burning a small pit in the floor. How do I feel...... It's kind of familiar. Fan Li looked up at the trembling cauldron. At this time, there was a sudden loud noise outside, and I saw that the corpse insects were beaten like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, and they returned the same way, and a few of them did not notice the brown liquid dripping from the top of their heads, and they were directly burned to ashes. "I think the survival rate of rushing out is greater than staying in this room." Fan Li said that he had already gathered two spears in both hands, handed one to Qin Ziyang, and grasped it in his hand. "Give me a machine gun, and you rush out with me." "You're looking for death, this is underground, you break the walls around you, and then the soil layer will collapse, and we'll be all done." "It's a nuisance." Qin Ziyang stomped her feet, and the corpse insects in front of her were immediately lined up in front of her, she roared angrily, and those corpse insects poured out like a tide again, Fan Li and Qin Ziyang ran out with them, and the moment they jumped out, Fan Li was startled by the things in front of him, and a face that was so rotten that he could see bones pounced on him, stretched out his hands and pounced towards him, his hands wrapped in golden armor.
