Everyone immediately searched for it in the tomb. Although the fire just now burned the spider silk all over the tomb, due to the lack of oxygen, the fire did not burn for too long, so other things did not suffer much damage, and even the few wooden boxes placed in the corners of the wall were still intact, but when I touched them with my hands, I still felt a little hot.

We opened the wooden chests one by one, and they were full of silver ingots. Wen Qingshan picked up a silver ingot and looked at it, it was all official silver from the Qianlong period.

Ouyang Yi didn't have much interest in these official silvers, what he was more concerned about was the evil stone that sealed the soul of the demon god. However, I felt more and more in my heart that the evil stone was not in this mausoleum. Of course, I didn't say it, after all, it was just my speculation, and since we had all gone through the hardships to get here, it didn't hurt to look for it.

We quickly searched the entire chamber and, as I expected, found no evil stones.

Ouyang Yi paid attention to the circular stone platform in the tomb that symbolized the Tai Chi Eye, this stone platform was almost exactly the same as the one in the tomb next door, Ouyang Yi turned his head and asked Wen Qingshan: "Mr. Wen, do you think this round platform is also a coffin that reaches the sky?" ”

Wen Qingshan stared at the round platform and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but who will be buried in the coffin of Lord Qianlong outside?" ”

"Could it be Lord Qianlong's biological mother!?" I blurted out without thinking.

Wen Qingshan smiled: "Hehe, you are really good at laughing!" In my opinion, maybe this time it is the evil stone we are looking for. ”

When Ouyang Yi heard this, he immediately said: "Let's not guess, hurry up and open it and take a look!" ”

Everyone took out the crowbar and got to work.

Due to their previous experience, everyone seemed to be a lot more proficient, but after all, the huge stone lid was so heavy, and everyone still took a lot of effort to finally lift the stone lid aside.

I couldn't wait to look inside, and I saw that there wasn't anything inside, but there was a stone staircase that stretched deep underground.

"I didn't expect this to be a secret passage!" Ryuichi looked a little surprised.

Wen Qingshan sighed: "Setting the secret passage in this heavenly coffin is really cleverly designed. ”

I looked into the passage with the help of the light from the hat lamp on my helmet, but I couldn't see the end, it seemed that the passage was not as deep as it normally was. Moreover, there was a cold chill coming out of it, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Where does this road lead? How does it feel so eerie. Weizi muttered softly.

Wen Qingshan said: "This can be regarded as an extremely hidden secret room, and there must be something very important hidden in it. ”

"Could it be that evil stone is hidden in here?"

"It's possible, there is a lot of yin qi in here, and there must be something evil hidden here." As soon as Wen Qingshan's words fell, I suddenly heard a deafening roar coming from the ground, and I was defenseless, almost perforated my eardrums.

The others were also startled and retreated.

"Holy, what's down here?" Long Yi said in shock.

Wen Qingshan said: "It should be a sturdy mandrill, no wonder we only heard its roar before, but we didn't see its trace, it turns out that this monster is locked up here." ”

Hearing Wen Qingshan say this, I suddenly thought that when we encountered the mandrill group before, those mandrills all came out of a hole in the ground, and after we dealt with those mandrills, there was also such a deafening roar from that hole, if these roars were all from the same mandrill, wouldn't that mean that the underground was actually connected to each other?

I said my thoughts, Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "It seems that there is still a big mystery down here, if we really want to go down, it is better to be cautious." ”

Long Yi mentioned yì and said, "Dr. Ouyang, why don't we withdraw first." ”

Ouyang Yi waved his hand and said: "This operation has been prepared for a long time, if you evacuate now, I am afraid that all the previous efforts will be wasted, since this passage has been opened, then let's go down and have a look!" ”

At Ouyang Yi's insistence, the group walked down the stairs to the depths of the ground. After entering, we found that the staircase extended into the ground in a circle, and the passage was quite narrow, but sixty or seventy centimeters wide, and could only be used by one person at a time, so we could only walk forward slowly one by one.

I don't know if it's because I'm a little nervous when I go underground, so I feel like it's longer than usual, and because we're moving slowly and stopping, I feel like we've been walking for a long time, but we still haven't reached the bottom.

I couldn't help but wonder a little and said, "How deep does this have to be, it must be hundreds of meters." ”

Wen Qingshan said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, the main thing is that we walked relatively slowly, so it felt like we had walked for a long time, and in fact, we walked down about fifteen or sixteen meters." ”

"Only fifteen or sixteen meters?" I couldn't believe it.

Wen Qingshan nodded and said, "I counted, we have walked a total of more than one hundred and forty steps, each step is about ten to twelve centimeters high, so if you calculate it, it will only be fifteen or sixteen meters." ”

I didn't expect Wen Qingshan to be so attentive, and he was still counting the steps in his heart.

Long Yi was also a little surprised: "Mr. Wen, are you still counting the steps?" ”

Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "Hehe, it's a habit, it's okay to count." ”

As we were talking, Ouyang Yi, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped. I thought we had reached the bottom, but when I looked ahead, I saw that there was still an arc in front of me, which meant that we were still halfway down. It seems that Ouyang Yi has discovered something, I don't dare to be careless, I hurriedly clenched the dragon teeth, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Ouyang Yi didn't answer me, but bent down and picked up a ball of something from the ground. Since there were still Long Yi and Chen Biao in front of me, I couldn't see what he picked up, and Wen Qingshan, who was standing behind me, naturally couldn't see it.

"What is this!?" Ouyang Yi's tone revealed a bit of surprise.

Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked, "Dr. Ouyang, what is it?" ”

"It's a strange skull, but I don't know what animal it came from." Ouyang Yi said as he passed the things over.

When the thing reached me, I couldn't help but be surprised, the skull was really big, two feet long and more than a foot in diameter, but it wasn't heavy, maybe because the water in the bones had evaporated.

And directly above the skull, there is a hole the size of a bowl, and the hole is covered with cracks.

"Holy! What the fuck is this animal skull? How can it be so big!? I said in surprise.

"Show me!" Wen Qingshan couldn't wait to say.

I handed the skull to Wen Qingshan, he held it and looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "This skull looks like the upper jaw of a snake's skull, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Long Yi interrupted him: "Mr. Wen, you are mistaken!" If this is really a snake's skull, then how big should this snake's body be!? ”

Wen Qingshan said solemnly: "Judging from the size of this skull, the diameter of the thickest part of this snake's body should reach seventy or eighty centimeters. ”

"Seventy or eighty centimeters!?" Long Yi was shocked: "How can there be such a big snake!" ”

"Who said no!" Wen Qingshan looked at me and said, "Shi Yu, you should still remember the black water snake you met in the cave in Qiping Village, right?" ”

I still remember the black water snake vividly, and sometimes I even see it in nightmares, so I immediately nodded and said, "We've really seen one of such a big snake!" ”

I briefly recounted what we had encountered with the giant snake back then, and Long Yi's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this, he looked at me, then at Wen Qingshan, and said in a daze: "What you two said is true, no kidding?" ”

Without waiting for me to answer, Ouyang Yi, who was at the front of the team, spoke: "Actually, although I haven't seen the rumors about the giant snake with my own eyes, I have heard about it, and there are many sighting reports about the giant snake among the people. Now that I heard Mr. Wen say this, and think about it carefully, this thing is really a bit like the upper jaw of a snake's skull! ”

"And where is the snake's body?" Long Yi said suspiciously.

Wen Qingshan held the giant snake skull and examined it carefully, and said, "The fracture of this skull is uneven, and it looks like it was wrung off by something. The hole above the skull must have been caused by a hard blow, so I speculated that something had smashed the serpent's celestial spirit cover with a hard object, and then unscrewed off its head. ”

Although Wen Qingshan's description was as eloquent as if he had seen it with his own eyes, I was skeptical of his claim, because I really couldn't imagine anything that could unscrew the head of such a huge giant snake. What's more, it's still a black water snake. I opened my mouth and said, "Boss Wen, you're exaggerating too much, if there really is such a huge Black Water Snake here, I'm afraid it would have become the overlord here a long time ago, how could it be killed by other things!" In my opinion, this skull must have been obtained from somewhere else, and this should be considered a specimen. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ouyang Yi suddenly made a new discovery, he took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up something, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, it seemed that he finally saw what it was, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This ...... How is this possible......"

Long Yi hurriedly asked, "Dr. Ouyang, what's wrong?" ”

Ouyang Yi slowly raised his head and said in a heavy tone: "I'm afraid Mr. Wen's analysis is correct!" ”

I was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?" Dr. Ouyang, do you also think that this giant snake was killed by something that broke its neck? ”
