Seeing the beetles under our feet rushing over, we hurriedly retreated, but just a few steps back, Lantern Xiao suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't retreat!" There are also in the back! ”

We took a closer look, not only in the back, but also in the bodies of all the lamp slaves, countless egg-sized black beetles crawled out, and for a while, the entire tomb floor seemed to be poured into a large bucket of ink, and the black color spread rapidly on the floor of the tomb.

Even more terrifying, these beetles seem to have spotted us and begun to gather at our feet.

We didn't dare to stay, so we hurriedly began to flee.

The second uncle said loudly: "Let's run along the tomb wall, find the exit of the tomb, and rush out." ”

So we started to run quickly along the tomb wall, and just after running for a while, Lantern Xiao just shouted, "Ah! We hurriedly looked back, only to see that at some point, a beetle had climbed onto Lantern Xiao's pants and launched an attack on Lantern Xiao's thigh.

"Oops! It hurts me! Lantern Xiao called while knocking out the beetle with a short knife, "Uncle, this thing bites so painfully!" As he spoke, the Lantern Festival was cut down with a knife, and the beetle was cut off, and a stream of yellow water flowed out.

Wen Mo walked over and picked it up with a knife, but his brows furrowed.

When the second uncle saw Lantern Xiao and Wenmo stop, he remembered to stomp his feet, "Don't study it!" Run! ”

The two of them hurriedly followed us, and I asked Wenmo as I ran, "Boss, what kind of bug is that?" ”

Wen Mo took a deep breath and said: "This beetle, named King Kong beetle, is very fierce and aggressive, and it is common in the northern grasslands, but if you want to be so big, it is really the first time to see it, this kind of beetle has a pair of big chela, and it has a lot of strength, and it can clip off branches, and the strength of such a big person like here must be greater." Then he said to Lantern Xiao, "It shouldn't have been a mouth when it attacked you just now, it should have been that pair of chela." ”

I followed Wen Mo closely and continued to ask, "Then what's the danger of this beetle?" ”

Wen Mo said: "If there is only one, or only a small number of beetles, it is not dangerous, but if there are so many of them, and they are so big, it is very dangerous, once they are besieged, they will be torn apart quickly." These beetles should have been attracted by those white smokes, I really don't know how many Vajra beetles are hidden here! ”

Wenmo's explanation made my heart tremble, we stopped talking, and began to concentrate on running desperately, but we ran for a long time, but we didn't find any exit at all.

Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand to stop us, and said breathlessly: "No, don't run, there is a problem." According to my estimates, we should have run a lap a long time ago, but there was no other exit other than the sealed stone gate we saw when we first came down. ”

Lantern Xiao was also tired and out of breath, "Brother Cheng, you can't be wrong, right?" Why don't we run again? ”

Zhou Cheng waved his hand, "Absolutely not, I am in the army, and the error between the distance measured by foot and the actual distance will not exceed 2%. With our speed and time, we've already run at least a lap and a half. ”

When the second uncle heard Zhou Cheng say this, he was also stunned, "Do you ...... say?"

Wen Mo nodded and said, "That's right, there is no exit here at all!" ”

Hearing Wenmo's statement, our hearts panicked. I proposed, "Let's run down to that thief hole, even if we give up this operation, it's better than feeding the bugs here!" ”

Everyone agreed with me and began to approach the direction of the thief hole, but we were only halfway through and we couldn't move forward, and more and more Vajra beetles had completely occupied the area below the thief hole.

And there are still a large number of beetles crawling out of the thief hole, I don't know where they were hiding just now, in short, we can't go back to the thief hole, we have no way back!

If we rush through it, nine times out of ten we will fall into those beetle piles and never get up again. Besides, we don't know how many are still in the thief's hole, and now we must have thrown ourselves into the net.

When we were at a loss, Wen Mo said loudly: "Everyone listen, everyone scatters and runs away to avoid us being surrounded by beetles, everyone finds a pillar, turns off the flashlight in their hands, and then climbs the stone pillar." Fast! ”

Although we don't know what Wenmo's intention is in doing this, we don't have time to ask more questions at this moment, so we hurriedly follow Wenmo's instructions or act separately.

We jumped over piles of beetles, and sometimes we had to endure the attacks of the beetles, and I knocked out the beetles that crawled on top of me one by one, and endured the pain of being attacked by the beetles.

Eventually, I came to the edge of a stone pillar, but on the edge of the pillar was the lamp slave, which can be regarded as the source of the Vajra beetle, and it is also the place where the beetle is most concentrated. Although I was close to the stone pillar, I could not get any closer.

It was Wen Mo's voice again, "You can use a light source to attract the attention of the beetle. As he spoke, a few cold fireworks were thrown over.

The light emitted by the cold flame burst was very bright and even dazzling in such a dark place.

Strange to say, as soon as those beetles saw those glowing cold fireworks, they couldn't wait to surround them.

Lantern Xiao sighed, "Hey, this method is good, it really works!" ”

Wenmo explains: "These beetles are naturally phototaxis, and they will move closer to places where there is light. ”

So that's it! I took advantage of the fact that the beetle under the stone pillar began to move towards the light source, stepped over, turned off the flashlight, and climbed up with all my might.

Some places on the stone pillars are carved very deeply, and there are many footholds and focus points, and it is not as difficult to climb as I imagined. I steadied myself on the stone pillar, then pulled out a few glow sticks and cold fireworks from my bag, opened them and threw them down.

The other four people were doing similar things, and for a while, the floor of the burial chamber was illuminated, and I was horrified to find that the ground under our feet seemed to have turned into a pool of black water, and the "black water" composed of vajra beetles was surging on the ground, and where there was a light source, it would soon be swallowed up by the swarming beetle swarm. The whole scene is both shocking and terrifying.

The second uncle told everyone that if they climbed the stone pillar, they would say hello, and soon got a response from the other four of us. Looks like everyone climbed up safely.

Although we are safe for the time being, this is not a long-term solution, we can't stay on the stone pillar all the time. Needless to say, in less than a day, we will definitely not be able to hold on, and once we stumble, we will immediately become food for beetles. And it was torn to shreds. It's miserable when you think about it!

I couldn't help but shout anxiously: "What's going on! How could there be so many of these things! Who would put so many bugs in their own grave! His uncle's Xu Fu! Under this means! ”

I was met with silence and a bit of despair.

After a long while, Wen Mo spoke: "I think we have all fallen for the trick, this one is not a tomb at all, this should be just a trap." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and the second uncle asked, "Wenmo, what kind of Yi Si are you?" ”

"Have you ever heard of the Shadow Temple?" Wenmo's voice came again.

"You mean, this is a shadow temple?" The second uncle's somewhat surprised voice came from the darkness again, "I've only heard of it, I didn't expect this to be the case here, I didn't think anyone would really go to the Shadow Cultivation Hall like this." ”

We were confused, and Lantern Xiao said loudly: "I said two, can we share information, please explain it clearly, what is the Shadow Palace?" ”

The second uncle told us that this shadow hall is a way to build a mausoleum, and it is also an anti-theft method, but this method is time-consuming and laborious, and we must be careful not to let the shadow hall affect the feng shui pattern of the original mausoleum, so this method has high requirements for the mausoleum builders. In the shadow hall, there are generally some layout decorations that are symmetrical to the original tomb, otherwise it will affect the direction of the original mausoleum. For example, the stone monument hanging upside down from the top of the tomb above us, the moire tripod and the stone platform. In the original burial chamber, there must have been the same thing, but it must have been placed on the ground normally.

The second uncle was a little annoyed, "Actually, we should have thought of it a long time ago, it's just that this kind of shadow hall has only seen some relevant records from ancient books, but it's really the first time I've actually seen it." Alas, negligent, negligent, no wonder we were besieged at the top of the hill by the Netherworld Serpent Vine, so that we could only rob the cave from there to the tomb, so that we would inevitably come to this burial chamber. No wonder there are no carvings on the moire tripod and the stone stele, there is no need, this place is all fake! ”

I really admired Xu Fu's scheming, and he set this kind of anti-theft trap step by step so precisely, I asked the second uncle: "Second uncle, then do we have a way to get out?" ”

The second uncle came with a wry smile, "I just said, this kind of shadow hall is time-consuming and laborious to build, and once it is built, it can be placed on this kind of necessary way to enter the tomb. Even if you find out the problem after coming in, it will be too late, and once this kind of shadow hall comes in, don't think about going out again. Because there's plenty of room for any possible traps. ”

My heart sank suddenly, "Then second uncle, what do you mean, we can't get out?" ”

Hearing my question, the second uncle was silent for a long time before he said something that could be regarded as comforting to us, "At least for now!" ”

When Lantern Xiao heard this, he wailed on the side: "Hey! I miss my Tang Yuanding I am famous, but I didn't expect to die in this kind of place today! I'm not reconciled! ”

I was also in a very bad mood, but my character would never sit still, and I shouted at the Lantern Festival: "Your uncle's Lantern Festival!" Don't howl! ”

Lantern Xiao replied: "Why don't you sigh before you die!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, even if you die, you have to fight and die again, it's too embarrassing to wait for death like this!"
