Chapter 127: A Stone Chamber Filled with Iron Pipes
I don't know what kind of monsters ran on the left side of the corridor, so everyone hurriedly rushed into the stone room on the right side of the stone corridor, but the original uncovered doorway fell down the heavy stone door, blocking the chasing monsters outside, and also trapped us in the stone room.
I sat on the ground, thinking that the world was unpredictable, and my eyes were glued to the closed stone gate in front of me, wanting to go up and punch the stone door hard to vent the emotions stirring in my heart. But I'm afraid that it will be self-defeating, and if I punch down and knock on the closed stone door, it will be miserable, and I will become a sinner for the ages.
Death passed us again, and we were lucky enough to see a dark hole in the wall behind us as the entrance was blocked by a falling stone door. It's just that at that time, everyone was nervously staring at the entrance, and they didn't notice the changes behind them.
The swarthy doorway was filled with gusts of cold wind, as if there was an air conditioner inside, and it was very cold.
At first, everyone thought that the stone chamber inside might be like the hollow ground in the corridor before, and gusts of cold wind drifted up from the ground. As a result, after stepping into the stone room, I found that the ground of the stone room was a solid stone slab, not a hollow ground, and on the four walls of the stone room, there were half an arm-long iron pipe, and the width and diameter of the nozzle were the same size as Yuan Datou, and it looked densely packed, like a beehive, and I wonder if there would be bees crawling out of the iron pipe.
Looking at the iron pipes on the wall, I remembered that in the past, on the top of the ancient evil tomb of the Tang Dynasty in the northeast, there was an iron tree with teeth and claws in the deep pit with mirage cemetery. The iron tree was also covered with iron pipes, and some golden bellworms flew out of it. It can make a terrifying sound like a lion's roar in Hedong, and it will shake people to the point of bleeding to death.
Come to think of it. I approached the stone wall, held a flashlight, and looked into the iron pipe. There was only rust inside the pitch-black iron pipe, and then it was pitch black in the depths, and there was nothing to be seen. What I am doing now is nothing more than a leopard in a tube, how can I see what is behind the depths of the iron pipe?
As soon as the fat man entered the dense iron pipe stone room, he felt dizzy, and his funny dense phobia was repeated. I asked him to sit down and rest. As a result, as soon as he sat down, his body went limp, and he involuntarily hit the iron pipe above the wall. The iron pipe is inserted so tightly that a person will not be injured if he hits it vigorously. However, after such a gentle bump from the fat man, he hit the disaster again.
The iron pipe that was hit made a crisp sound, and then stared at the iron pipe for a long time, and then heard a bang, and a heavy stone door fell from the door where we had just entered. The door hole was tightly sealed.
The sudden arrival of the situation made everyone run to the stone gate in fright, pushing and bumping into it. But the stone gate that fell was as heavy as a rock. Steady as Mount Tai, without any reaction. At this moment, everyone knew that it was bad. These dense iron pipes. It must be a mechanism used to prevent theft, but I don't know if it will come from the inside. Something terrible and dangerous.
Quiet, as quiet as all the silences. A stone chamber covered with iron pipes. After the heavy stone door fell with a bang, only the panicked gasps of everyone remained.
There were no bees or other insects flying out of the iron pipes, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, ready to look at the iron pipes on the four walls again, to see if they could find the mechanism to open the stone door in the midst of these dense iron pipes.
Suddenly, in the silence of the stone room, I remembered a very familiar ticking sound, as if water droplets were flowing from the iron pipe and dripping to the ground.
Everyone looked around curiously, found an iron pipe that began to drip water, and approached one after another.
The fat man saw the stagnant water dripping from the ground, and couldn't help but mutter, "What a big rust." ”
The water on the ground was dark red, as if there was a large amount of rust accumulated in the iron pipe, but everyone was soon shocked to find that the water dripping from the water pipe was not red due to rust, but blood dripping from the iron pipe. It gradually gathered into a puddle of blood on the ground, slowly wafting a pungent smell of blood, faintly mixed with a foul smell.
However, just as everyone looked down at the blood dripping from the ground in amazement, suddenly all the iron pipes on the four walls began to drip dark red blood from them. The beads of blood that kept dripping quickly formed a line, and then like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, a large amount of blood gushed out of it, as if the floodgates were open and the water was fierce, and there was no posture to stop at all.
Everyone was confused at once, and they wanted to reach out to block the iron pipes that kept bleeding fishy blood, but how could they block it! Soon, everyone was forced to the center by the blood and squeezed together, and everyone turned into blood gourds, not to mention how terrifying and hideous they were.
The bewildered crowd watched as the blood spilled over their waists, and then continued to rise upward, and half of the wall was already submerged in the blood. Everyone kept fluttering in the blood water, completely not knowing how to deal with this sudden catastrophe, so they could only let the blood water that kept pouring into the stone room hold everyone up, and then float and sink on top of the smelly blood water.
Blood poured out of the iron pipes above the walls like a fountain, and in a matter of moments, the entire stone chamber was completely submerged. The people who were held up by the blood were already lying on their backs against the top wall, ready to breathe their last breath at any time, and then in the blood water, waiting for the oxygen to slowly expel from the lungs, and finally closed their eyes miserably.
The people who are on the verge of death still hold on to the last glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that a lucky turn will come, but who can have the ability to recede all the blood, unless a pumping machine is installed behind the iron pipe to drain the blood from the stone chamber that is about to be flooded, or a floor drain suddenly appears on the ground mountain, which slowly discharges the blood.
However, there was no pumping machine behind the iron pipe, and there was no floor drain on the stone floor below, but when the blood was about to overflow over everyone's heads, there was a sudden click from below, and then immediately after, the water surface suddenly began to descend suddenly.
It turned out that the ground below the iron pipe stone room was hollow, and it could not withstand the weight of the blood and collapsed, and the blood flowed into the ground where it didn't lead anywhere, and we also flowed towards the falling water level. (To be continued......)
