Chapter 237: A sarcophagus descends from the sky
Minutes and seconds ticked by.
Chen Jinting raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, more than half an hour had passed, but Lao Suo still did not appear on the foggy rock wall.
Chen Jinting had been bracing his ears, carefully listening to any small sounds coming from the air.
However, what disturbed him was that he hadn't heard anything coming from above since Lao Suo had climbed into the dense fog above.
Chen Jinting tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he could clearly feel the sound of his heartbeat.
At this time, he even wondered if Lao Suo had had an accident on it, or that Lao Suo had never climbed the rock wall at all
If Lao Suo hadn't climbed the rock wall, where would he have gone? Could it be that Lao Suo didn't follow the archaeological team into the mountain at all? Could it be that the old Suo who has been with him for so long is his own hallucination?
Chen Jinting's thoughts in his heart became even more cranky, and he stared at the lingering fog above his head, as if he wanted to see through the damn fog to see if Lao Suo was still on the rock wall above.
After staring at the dense fog above his head for a while, Chen Jinting's eyes suddenly widened, and his fingers involuntarily began to tremble slightly.
At the same time, from behind him came a low cry and several strange "gurgling" sounds from his throat.
It was Gong Ping who exclaimed in a low voice, and it was Zhang Fei who made the strange "gurgling" sound.
However, Chen Jinting did not look back to see what happened to the two behind him.
Because, he knew what was the reason why the two of them were not calm.
In fact, his heartbeat, which had been staring up at it, was even more intense.
The reason for all this is that a dark shadow slowly began to emerge from the dense fog above.
However, the shadow didn't look like the old rope that had climbed up the rock wall more than half an hour ago.
The black shadow was much larger than Lao Suo, and its silhouette didn't look like a human figure at all.
For a while, Chen Jinting couldn't even see what it was. What surprised Chen Jinting and the others was that such a big thing didn't make a sound when it fell.
Looking at the gradually clear black shadow, Chen Jinting couldn't help but think of an unknown monster crawling towards him silently with a big mouth full of fangs.
Thinking of this, Chen Jinting panicked, and was about to shout for Gong Ping, Yao Lina, and Zhang Fei behind him to flee for their lives.
But at this moment, the strange black shadow above his head suddenly came out of the thick fog, and at this moment, a strange "creaking" sound also came from Chen Jinting's ears.
As soon as the black shadow came out of the thick fog, Chen Jinting saw clearly what it was.
In fact, because Chen Jinting was directly below the black shadow, all he saw was the bottom of the thing that came out of the thick fog.
From his point of view, what he saw was a rectangular stone slab, the stone slab was slightly blue-gray, and there seemed to be some carved patterns on it that were common on ancient artifacts that he could not see.
Seeing the blue-gray slate slowly falling on top of his head, Chen Jinting hurriedly retreated a few steps, and it wasn't until he retreated to Gong Ping's side that he could completely see what was falling from the dense fog.
this
It turned out to be
A coffin!
That's right, it was indeed a coffin, a sarcophagus to be exact.
The two ends of the coffin were connected to several wrist-thick bronze chains, which stretched straight to the top of the coffin, and penetrated into the dense fog above, and it was not known where the road finally led.
What's even more strange is that there doesn't seem to be a lid on this coffin.
Although at this time, the coffin had not completely landed, Chen Jinting affirmed that the coffin did not have a coffin lid.
For he could see a head rising and falling from the coffin up and down very regularly, as if the man in the coffin was looking down from time to time, but he was very shy.
The man hid at a glance, and hid again at a glance
After seeing the person in the coffin so sneaky, Chen Jinting did not feel the slightest nervousness, but let out a sigh of relief.
He could see very clearly that the person hiding in the coffin was Lao Suo, who had been up for a long time.
"Lao Suo! What the hell are you doing! It almost scared the hell out of me! Where did this get a big coffin? Is there anything in it? ”
When this sarcophagus was hidden in the thick fog just now, it startled several people, and after it appeared at this time, several people reacted, and then saw that Lao Suo was also safe and sound, Zhang Fei was the first to scream, but his mouth was bald, and the black words came out.
If this had been put aside, Chen Jinting would have criticized him after hearing Zhang Fei utter this incoherent black word.
But at this time, he didn't have the mood to be more serious with Zhang Fei.
After seeing Lao Suo sitting in a coffin and falling to the ground slowly, Chen Jinting and the others hurriedly greeted him.
"Old fellow! You're finally back! Why didn't there be any movement for half a day? ”
Chen Jinting stepped forward, and without waiting for Lao Suo to crawl out of the coffin, he opened his mouth to complain.
"What?" Hearing Chen Jinting ask. Lao Suo's eyes widened at the boss.
"I've been shouting above for a long time, dare you not hear?"
Chen Jinting was also stunned when he heard this, and looked back at Gong Ping and Zhang Fei beside him.
Gong Ping frowned and shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't hear Lao Suo's shouting just now.
Looking at Zhang Fei again, he didn't understand the same face.
As for Yao Lina, at this time, it was as if nothing had happened, and she didn't look at anyone, but just stared at the sarcophagus in Gong Ping's arms, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking in her heart.
"Isn't it?" Lao Suo obviously also saw Gong Ping's shaking of his head just now.
"When I found this big coffin on it, I shouted and told you about it! How could you not hear it? ”
Chen Jinting didn't speak, but looked up at the thick fog above his head again.
This situation reminded him of the past.
After he and Gong Ping entered the fog before, they couldn't hear the sound coming from outside the fog either.
Could it be that this fog has the ability to block out sound?
After a closer look, Chen Jinting felt that the fog above his head was indeed much thicker than the surroundings, and the density was indeed very similar to the fog he and Gong Ping had entered before.
Maybe it's really as you think, this fog does have the ability to block sound, anyway, there are a lot of strange things in this ghost place, and this fog really has this ability, but it's not weird
