Chapter 51: Controversy
No, if someone ever triggered this trap, there would definitely be traces in the place. The puzzle that puzzled everyone before, popped up again. There have been so many groups of people entering the Tomb of the Giant Ear King, but why is the mechanism of the entire Giant Ear King's Tomb as if it has never been activated?
Why did that charred corpse stand behind the stone gate after death?
Could it be that in the tomb of the Giant Ear King, there is still someone responsible for cleaning up the aftermath? It was a strange idea, but I couldn't think about it now, because the flames were already spreading rapidly towards us along the sand on the ground.
This one is fast.
I estimate that the whole process takes less than a minute.
In a few tens of seconds, we will be burned in flames, following in the footsteps of the charred corpse.
Now, even if it is too late to blow up the door, because it is necessary to calculate the explosives, and we are too close at this time, and the explosives will only send ourselves to the west together, which is not called survival, that is called death.
At this critical juncture, almost everyone was stunned, and could only see the line of fire in front of us, advancing towards us rapidly, Wen Min's face was pale with fright, and she buried her head in my arms suddenly, Rao is she is usually firm-minded and courageous, and she is also scared at this time, and her hands grabbed my clothes.
I subconsciously hugged her back, and my body was slightly on one side, blocking the person, in a vain attempt to resist the fire for her. This qiΔ is all a subconscious act, where do I want to get so much, my whole mind is stiff, there is only fire in my eyes, the fire that is about to submerge the entire tomb.
However, at this moment, the same whistle sounded in the burial chamber again, and as soon as this sound came out, my nerves jumped a little, and everyone remembered this bizarre whistle because it had saved us once.
As soon as the sound came out, I couldn't help but look up to find the source of the sound, but all I was left with was a beating tongue of fire.
Zhen Rui suddenly sighed and said, "The fire is smaller." β
When he reminded me, I suddenly noticed that the flames, which had been advancing rapidly, had slowed down a lot, and gradually became smaller, as if they were in the state when there was not enough oxygen to burn.
Sure enough, the whistle saved us again!
Just then, in the darkness, I suddenly heard a voice shouting to us: "Come here!" β
Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw the tomb where the dumb man had appeared before, and at some point, the stone door opened again, and the sound came from the tomb. As soon as I heard it, isn't this the sound of tofu?
I was startled, looked at the mute, and said, "He's in there?" Why don't you sue me! β
Zhong Gong was overjoyed and said, "It's Brother Dou, great, could it be that he saved us?" β
The dumb man's expression changed, one hand clasped my shoulder violently, and his voice, which had always been cold, was a little hoarse this time, and his dark eyes stared at the tomb, and said, "Don't go!" At this time, the stone door on the tomb road slowly began to close down, and at this time, I heard the sound of tofu coming from the tomb again, this time looking very anxious: "Come in, there is no time!" I cut off the blowhole, and if I don't come in, I'll suffocate to death, Lao Chen! Believe me! β
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood why these fires were suddenly extinguished, and it seemed that Tofu knew that we were in danger, so he did something to block the ventilation hole in this tomb. If this burial chamber wants to use fire as a mechanism, it must have a ventilation system, and Tofu seems to know the mechanism here very well, and it seems that the whistle sound is eighty percent related to him.
Thinking of this, I also ignored my dumbness, and said to everyone: "Go to the tomb first, otherwise the stone gate will be closed, and the oxygen here will be exhausted by fire, and we will also die." "Although our group of people have been yin by tofu before, but tofu has a good history, and the fixed image of the person is there, so when I heard his voice, even Zhen Rui didn't take a nap, and waved his hand to signal to change positions.
Only the dumb man grabbed me by the shoulder and said, "Don't go in, you can't go in there." "The stone gate is already half closed, where can I give the dumb man more pulls, in a hurry, I directly picked up the dumb man, followed everyone and rushed to the stone gate that was about to close. Because there was still a tongue of fire in that place, the trouser legs were burning when we passed, and as soon as we entered the tomb, the stone door was slammed shut.
The light of the fire outside was cut off, and only our burning trouser legs remained, and everyone howled and rolled on the ground and put out the fire, but fortunately it was not long before they were unharmed.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the tomb was pitch black, and the Feng ghost on the side quickly turned on the flashlight. I first went to see the mute, which had to be put on hold, and I didn't dare to pick him up and run away, so I could only be tough when this person was injured.
At this moment, the mute sat with his back against the stone door, and he was not angry at my sudden rise just now, but his dark eyes were fixed on the front of the tomb.
I then remembered about the tofu, so I turned my head sharply and looked at the front of the tomb.
Everywhere the lights went, it was empty.
"Azuki!" I screamed, but no one answered.
Wen Min also said: "Xiaodou, don't hide, we are all worried about you." Again, no one responded. I was a little angry, picked up the flashlight that rolled on the ground, turned on the power and walked forward, and after walking two steps, the mute voice was hoarse: "Stop." β
His voice was cold.
It's a kind of cold that I've never felt before.
If the usual mute is just indifference and arrogance, then now, from his voice and eyes, I seem to see the killing intent, as if as long as I take one more step, he will do it. Although the mute no longer has any combat effectiveness, the cold and bloodthirsty momentum shocks people.
Not only me, but also the rest of the people, involuntarily lowered their voices, and for a while, the tomb fell into a deathly silence. After a while, Shen Hao muttered: "What kind of cow is it now...... his voice was not loud, but in the silent tomb, it was clear to people.
The mute didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard at all. At this time, I realized that there were blood stains on the ground of this tomb, the same string of blood stains that we had seen when we saw the mute before. At that time, I didn't feel anything after a distance, but now when I entered this tomb and looked at the blood stains on my nose under my feet, I felt a little shocked.
If Feng Ghost hadn't opened that mechanism in time, if we hadn't healed the mute, he would have lost blood and died.
A picture flashed through my mind, a dumb man covered in blood, walking towards the stone gate step by step, leaving a string of blood marks behind him.
What's at stake behind this?
Why did dumb people lie before?
Why didn't he want us to enter this graveyard? Or even lied?
A man who has never disdained lies, what makes him hide his pride?
I stopped, finally retreated to his side, crouched down, looked at him, and asked solemnly, "Sue sΓΉ, why?" What's behind this? β
The mute voice was still cold and hoarse, and said, "A place you absolutely don't want to see." β
At this time, Zhong Hua covered his leg and groaned, although his injury was not serious, but it was injured on his leg, and it was pierced on the bone, and the pain was abnormal, and he couldn't help but hum out at this time, which made the solemn atmosphere in the tomb relax. Shen Hao saw that his partner was in such pain, so he raised his voice and said to the dumb man: "Don't play dumb riddles, the gods are chattering, is there a mechanism behind it or what?" Look at the broken teeth in your wound before, isn't there some monster behind the tomb? β
He said this simply to the mute, not at me, after all, he is a subordinate of Zhen Rui, and Zhen Rui is my friend.
The mute turned a deaf ear to his words, and even at such times, his haughty nature did not change, and he simply ignored those who disdained to be reasonable. He just looked at me and said, "Don't go any further, get out of here, let's ...... together"
We, together.
I didn't expect him to say these four words, and for a moment I felt a strange feeling in my heart. What does that mean? Am I finally in his eyes?
I'm a person who eats soft rather than hard, and the four words dumb make my heart move. Although I knew that he was not a statement, it was difficult for me to harden my attitude in front of this face, but this time I had to refuse him, and I relieved my breath, I said, "We can't be together this time, my brother is still inside, no matter what happens, I have to figure it out." β
The dumb man's eyes drooped slightly, and he said coldly: "No matter the woman next to you, or this group of people who accompany you?" You are going to take them to their deaths. His voice was unhurried, cold, and his words were so clear that it was impossible to imagine that there was a time when he thought he was Japanese.
Wen Min said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu, Xiaodou is also my friend, I don't regret saving him." β
Zhen Rui said lukewarmly: "That kid broke my antique vase, and he hasn't paid compensation yet, don't want to die." β
The dumb man was short of breath for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he stood up with the stone gate, looked around at us, and said, "Whether you die or not has nothing to do with me." He can't die. His hand slowly lifted, and his long, powerful fingers pointed at me.
Wen Min was stunned and said, "Mr. Wu, with all due respect, you and Chen Hang, what are the ...... What relationship? "What does dumb mean, it seems to protect me? Is this really that dangerous?
