Chapter 209: The Hungry Swarm
A group of people walked slowly inward along the dark road, this dark road is not only not a straight road, but can even be described as a twist and turn, almost every three or five meters, you have to turn the road, so that our vision has been greatly affected, and it is impossible to judge what will be encountered in the next corner, so everyone seems very careful and does not dare to go too fast.
For such a curve design, I can't help but wonder: "Why do you have to make this passage so tortuous!" Isn't it much easier to get to the end all the way? ”
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "This should be done on purpose, there are several advantages to building the passage so tortuously. ”
"What's the benefit?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan replied: "First, we can prevent the Yin Qi in the tomb from leaking out, and second, if there are any traps set up in it, it will be difficult for us to react. ”
"You mean the reason why the passage was built so tortuous was to set a trap?"
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a creaking sound, and before we could react to what was going on, several hidden weapons were shot out of the wall directly in front of us.
Just listen to "Smack!" Syllable! There were a few muffled sounds, and all the hidden weapons were shot at Chen Biao, who was walking in the front.
Everyone was startled, but when they looked at Chen Biao again, he was fine, it turned out that all the hidden weapons were shot in his chest, but he was wearing a bulletproof vest, which could block the AK47's strafing at close range, not to mention the hidden weapons during the Qing Dynasty.
Chen Biao stretched out his hand and carefully took down the hidden weapon shot on the vest, which turned out to be a few darts about the size of the palm of his hand and in the shape of a pentagonal edge.
The dart was made of iron and was already rusty, and the dragon standing behind Chen Biao glanced at it and said, "It's a five-pointed meteor dart!" This thing is often soaked in poison, Captain Chen, you better be careful, don't get hurt. ”
Chen Biao threw a few meteor darts on the ground disapprovingly, and to my surprise, the expression on his face was quite calm, as if the meteor darts were not shot at him.
Wen Qingshan opened his mouth and asked, "Did anyone step on the mechanism just now?" ”
Chen Biao replied lightly: "It's me, just now I felt my feet loosen, and then this thing shot out from the opposite side." With that, he continued with his gun in hand, as if he had not been affected by the meteor dart.
I can't help but think: it seems that this guy is not only ruthless and arrogant, but also has a bit of a problem with his brain, if he hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest just now, I'm afraid he would have died, and he didn't learn his lesson at all. I really don't know how he became the captain of the Red Dragon Secret Service, that's okay, the key is that now we have to follow him into the tomb, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates, and I don't know if we will be affected by this guy.
The group continued to walk forward, although Chen Biao seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact he was a lot more cautious, and every step seemed very careful, always weighing his toes a few times before stepping on.
It was a little relieved to me, but luckily he wasn't as reckless as he might seem.
Because they were afraid of stepping on the trap, the others didn't dare to be careless, and everyone basically followed the footprints of the person in front of them, which greatly reduced the chance of triggering the trap.
As he was walking, Chen Biao suddenly stopped, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"What's wrong with Captain Chen?" Ouyang Yi asked in a low voice.
"There's a trap! I stepped on it. Chen Biao replied.
"What!?" Ouyang Yi was taken aback, and Weizi at the back of the team asked, "Captain, since you stepped on the mechanism, why didn't you react?" ”
Chen Biao said: "I don't know, but I did step on the mechanism, and it was almost the same as what I stepped on just now." ”
Everyone waited quietly for a while, but there was still no response.
In order to prove that he had indeed stepped on the mechanism, Chen Biao stepped aside, squatted down and groped on the floor for a while, pointed to one of the stones that was not very standardized in shape and said, "This is it!" ”
Wen Qingshan squatted down, cautiously reached out and pressed it, and really pressed the stone into it to a depth of about one centimeter, and as soon as he let go, the stone immediately rebounded back into place, and there was nothing abnormal in the slightest. That's typical of traps, but there's no such thing as a dart weapon to shoot out.
Ouyang Yi thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, this mechanism should have been rusted to death, I think those meteor darts just now are already rusted." ”
What he said was not unreasonable, everyone relaxed a little when they heard it, but Wen Qingshan was still frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Wen, what's wrong?" ”
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's a little strange." ”
"Mr. Wen thinks there is something wrong, you might as well speak up!" Ouyang Yi seemed to care about Wen Qingshan's opinion.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said, "I just think this matter is a little strange, maybe it's just that I'm too careful." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, I suddenly seemed to hear a rustling sound, and it sounded as if something was approaching us.
I couldn't help but feel nervous, hurriedly pulled out the dragon teeth, and whispered, "Did you hear me, it seems that there is something!" ”
The others glanced at each other, but they were all dazed, and it seemed that they didn't hear it.
Weizi smiled and teased: "Brother Shi Yu is not too nervous, he has auditory hallucinations!" ”
They didn't know that after I inhaled the dragon soul qi, my hearing was far greater than that of ordinary people. I didn't bother to explain it to them, so I just coldly dropped a sentence: "You better be careful, I really hear movement!" ”
Chen Biao snorted lightly: "Hmph! It doesn't matter what it is, if it dares to come over, I'll call it a brain burst. He said as he put his finger on the trigger of the silver gun.
We waited for a while, but nothing came to us, so we continued on our way, and after a few more turns, we finally came to the end of the curve, and directly in front of us, a stone gate blocked our way. In the center of this stone door is carved a beast head with a blue face and fangs, but the eye sockets of this beast head are empty, as if the eyeballs have been gouged out.
"Why is there a door here!" Weizi stepped forward and pushed hard, but Shimen didn't move.
Wen Qingshan looked around and said, "The mechanism that opened the door should be around here, let's look for it." ”
So everyone immediately split up and groped around the stone gate.
After a while, Long Yi discovered the abnormality, he found that a stone brick on the wall was actually empty, because it would make a "knock, knock" sound when struck, but this stone brick could not be pressed.
Wen Qingshan walked over and observed, he quickly understood, reached out and grabbed the stone brick, pulled it out, the stone brick was pulled out, everyone hurriedly came over to take a look, it turned out that this stone brick turned out to be a "drawer"!
There were two stone beads the size of a ping-pong ball in the "drawer", Wen Qingshan took out the beads, weighed them in his hand a few times, and then glanced at the beast head on the stone door, he immediately understood, and said: "These two beads should be the eyeballs of the beast head on the door!" ”
"Why are the monster's eyes hidden here?" I asked, puzzled.
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "This should be the mechanism that opens the stone gate, I think as long as you put this eyeball into the eye socket of the beast's head, the stone door can be opened." ”
"It's as simple as that?" I couldn't believe it.
"Try it!" Wen Qingshan took two stone beads and walked towards the stone gate.
However, he had not taken a few steps forward when suddenly there was a rustling sound from behind us, and this time, everyone else heard it, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the bend behind them.
The sound of squeaking was getting closer, and it was mixed with squeaky sounds, which sounded like the cries of rats.
I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what's the situation? Could it be a rat?
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, something black poured out of the bend.
When I looked at it, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it turned out to be a mouse! However, the number of rats is a little too much, and when you look at it, it is like a swarming tide.
The rats squeaked and pounced on us, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Weizi picked up the automatic rifle in his hand and flew towards the rats, the gunfire was so loud in this small space that my ears were shaken.
Perhaps under the influence of the sound of gunfire, or perhaps afraid of the glare from the hat lamp above our heads, the rat colony stopped at a distance of about three or four meters from us, and countless rats looked at us with their pointed heads and squeaked one after another.
Only then did I realize that these rats were not small, more than twice the size of ordinary house mice, and each one was skinny, as if it had not eaten for a long time. Then there are their eyes, which are blood-red and look like blood-red gemstones.
Everyone was shocked, and in order not to alarm the rats, everyone did not dare to move, nor did they dare to speak, so they confronted the rats for a full minute.
Wen Qingshan whispered: "Don't panic, everyone, these rats live underground all year round and can't adapt to the bright light, so we are not in danger for the time being." ”
"Then we can't keep confronting such a bunch of rats, I think these things are almost hungry, and once they pounce, I'm afraid it won't take a minute to tear us into a pile of bones." Ryuichi said.
His words are not unreasonable, although rats generally do not bite, but the group of rats in front of them, one by one, looks very fierce, and judging from their emaciated body, they should have not eaten for a long time, and if they don't get it, they will really tear us clean.
