Wushan Demon Coffin Chapter 70 Collapse
The door was pitch black, and the dim flashlight shone in, and I saw the huge figure on the other side at a glance.
Lao Hu obviously noticed it too, waved his flashlight, and said, "What is it?" "The huge figure was so far away that even if we were to hit all the flashlights, we could only see a vague outline.
"It's supposed to be some kind of giant stone carving or something." I said.
Immediately after, Lao Hu suddenly stopped, and then I realized that there was no road ahead of us.
I looked forward and found that there was a huge bottomless pit under my feet, somewhat similar to the burial ground under the coffin of the Abyss, but at this moment, there were no bronze chains above our heads, and we couldn't even hit the head with the flashlight, and we couldn't see the specific situation around us.
Lao Hu squatted down and patted the rock at the end, I found that it was the same stone as Longyin Peak, relatively hard, dark in color, and the mountain wall below was obviously not artificially excavated, but like a kind of internal collapse of the mountain caused by geological movement.
The range of our flashlight is about thirteen meters, beyond this distance, the light is very dim, Lao Hu hit the flashlight down, and did not see the bottom, that is to say, this cave is at least thirteen meters high, maybe it is deeper.
I followed the light and looked closely, and found that there seemed to be some small holes around the cave wall, just like the tomb with hanging coffins on the cliff of Sichuan Mountain, but it was slightly smaller, and I didn't know what was there.
Lao Hu squinted his eyes and said: "This hole is not artificially mined, it should be used by that Fang Shi and made some changes, then I don't know what weird things will be down there, we have to be careful, I'll go down and explore first." ”
The fat man pulled out the rope from his backpack, which was thirty meters long, and we were about to find a fixture to hook the rope on, when suddenly there was a loud bang behind us.
"Bang!"
Everyone was shocked, and the fat man jumped up directly and said, "What's the matter!" ”
Lao Hu immediately slapped the flashlight back, and then the four of us looked at each other, because the tomb door behind us was actually closed.
Then, with the sound of the tomb door closing, there was a sound of collapse behind the tomb door, a bit similar to the sound of the building collapsing, and at the same time, the place where we were standing, even the ground trembled slightly, and with this tremor, from under the cave, a dense buzzing sound rose.
I was startled and shouted, "Oh no, there's the Flying Ant King down there!" ”
The fat man hurriedly opened the equipment bag, shook the rain cloth, and said, "Hide first!" At this moment, the loud noise outside the tomb gate was getting louder and louder, as if the entire underground palace was collapsing, and the rocks under our feet were trembling more and more frequently, as if there had been an earthquake.
Zhao Wang was the first to get into the rain cloth, and the fat man gestured violently and said, "Hurry up!" "I was the last to get in, and almost as soon as I entered, there was a raindrop-like sound on the tarpaulin, accompanied by the sound of an earthquake.
Suddenly, I felt a big guy stop on my back, not heavy, but it seemed to be the size of a cat.
Due to the rush of time, we didn't have time to prop up the tarpaulin, so we covered our bodies directly and crawled on the ground with our backs hunched. And at this moment, I can feel that the thing that stopped on my back, with many feet, is climbing up the tarpaulin, and finally it stops at the top of my head, and then I feel that the tarpaulin covering my body is being pulled outward by a force, forming a sharp cone on the top of my head.
What is it?
I was startled, and turned cautiously, face up, dagger in hand, watching the movement above, if this thing bites through the tarpaulin, I'm afraid the four of us will die here today.
My heart was pounding, and I was ready to stab it as soon as that thing bit the tarpaulin.
The sound of the collapse outside continued, and the fierce sound startled more and more flying ant kings pouring out of their nests, and the sound of the collapse was almost equal to the overwhelming humming, and my ears and hearts were numb, and I couldn't hear anything else except these two sounds.
At this moment, a slight tearing sound suddenly sounded in my ears.
The sound was small, but it was very close.
It sounded from above my head.
I felt the bodies of the other people in the rain cloth freeze as well, and then, I saw a red bean-sized, red eye, looking through a finger-long slit in the rain cloth, and then, that eye got closer, and half of its head came in, less than two centimeters away from me!
My scalp was numb, it was supposed to be a huge ant, half of its head sticking out, black and shiny, only one eye was red, like a glowing pearl in the dark.
I didn't think about it, I raised the dagger in my hand and beckoned, but before I could put the dagger up, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand, and then, the whole person was hugged by the neck and dragged back.
At this time, a cold breath swept through my ears, and I only heard Zhao Wang swallowing nervously, and said: "Legend in our hometown says that everything with red eyes is the king of Chengjing, if you kill it, other flying ant kings will come in." ”
I realized that it was Zhao Wang who was holding my hand, so I nodded and said I understood. Zhao Wang let go of his hand, and at this time, the red-eyed flying ant king's entire head drilled in, but its body was too big, and it was rolling and trying to drill into it, and a pair of big hoops were closed on its mouth, if it was bitten, it was estimated that it would not be as simple as a red pimple, but I was afraid that it would be torn off a piece of meat.
Immediately after, a hand suddenly reached out to my head, and then I smelled a strong and pungent smell, which was the medicinal smell of dermatitis flat, that hand was fatter, it should be the fat man in the back, and then, the hand slowly stretched out to the red-eyed flying ant king, the head of the thing was crooked, and the body was no longer in it, and after a while, it actually retreated.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and my hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground, and I hurriedly pulled the crack up with my hands to prevent other flying ants from breaking in.
The sound of the collapse lasted for about two minutes, and then it fell silent, but the flying ants circled for a long time, and we hid for about twenty minutes before the surroundings were quiet again.
After a while, the four of us got out of the tarpaulin, and the first thing we did was to push the tomb door.
The stone door did not move.
Lao Hu immediately shone the flashlight along the slit, and when we saw it, we were stunned.
Because that thin crack was actually plugged, and it was full of sharp corners of earth and stone, you don't have to think about it to know that there must have been a collapse outside the tomb door, that is, we are now completely trapped!
What's going on?
Why did the collapse happen?
My first reaction was, could it have something to do with the eighty-one pillars?
Lao Hu was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "This is a self-destruct mechanism, once the tomb door is not opened in the correct way, it will collapse." "My mind was in turmoil, but I always felt that there was a problem, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and the whole person suddenly became clear.
I shook my head, stared at the three of them, and said, "It's a self-destruct mechanism, but think about it, why did it take more than half an hour for us to collapse after we opened the tomb door?" ”
If it had been for half an hour, the tomb robbers would have fled to the space where we are now, and they would not have been crushed to death by the collapsed tomb at all, that is, this collapsed self-destruction design was not to kill the tomb robbers, but to block the back road and make it impossible for people to evacuate.
To put it simply, there is actually a passage out of the back, but we haven't noticed it, and now, the outside has completely collapsed, and even if there is an exit, we can't go back.
I added: "Imagine that after the tomb door is opened, there is no mechanism activated, if it is a tomb robber, after waiting for a while, they will definitely enter the tomb door, and those who come to rob the tomb, just like us, will not have the patience to wait too long, after all, the longer they stay in the tomb, the more unknown dangers there are, and then, when they enter the tomb door, the tomb door will be closed and collapsed." ”
The fat man's expression changed, his fat face sank like a piece of black iron, and he immediately scolded the eighteenth generation ancestor of the Fang Shi, and said: "Damn birdman, he won't be at ease when he dies, innocent comrade, according to what you have to say...... We don't have a place to go out in front of us? ”
I don't know whether to nod or shake my head, now that the back road is dead, no one can predict whether there is a way out of the front, but according to the design of this bird-faced monk, even if there is a passage out of the tomb ahead, it must have been changed when the eighty-one lockposts were destroyed, that is, the original passage, like the world outside the tomb gate, is likely to no longer exist.
His purpose in doing this was to trap everyone who came to fight.
Even if that man did break the eighty-one lock pillars, then there must be something else in this closed cave.
Almost immediately, I thought of the dense Flying Ant King, could it be that these things were raised by the priest to guard the tomb?
Wrong...... If this is the case, then how did so many flying ant kings survive? In this pitch-black underground? What do they live on?
