Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 52 The Bronze Chest

Wen Mo took out a cold flame and threw it down, and after a few seconds, the cold flame exploded, lighting up an area at once. It turned out that at our feet was a cliff dozens of meters high, and below the cliff was a clearing. But there are a lot of things placed against the cliff.

But before he could see it clearly, the cold fireworks were extinguished. We threw another one down, and saw hundreds of large long boxes on the edge of the cliff, stacked on top of each other, the top layer of which was probably less than ten meters away from us. What kind of box is this? Before we could see it, the light was gone.

We don't give up, get our binoculars ready, and throw down a cold firework again. The white light came back on, and I looked through the telescope at the long boxes that had become mottled and covered with green rust, which seemed to be made of bronze.

What the hell are these things?

I turned to look at the others, "Can you see what it is?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook his head, "The light time is too short, I don't have time to take a closer look." ”

Kong Xue shone down with a flashlight, but she couldn't see the tops of those stacked bronze boxes, "How is it?" Shall we go down? ”

Lantern Xiao took out the rope from his backpack, "Down, it's all here, besides, it's safer to retreat now than to move forward." ”

I think about it, behind us, there are still the green ancient corpses and those big snakes, as well as countless small snakes, which are indeed very dangerous.

We couldn't help but look at Wen Mo, who had not spoken, and when the latter saw us looking at him, he still didn't say anything, just nodded.

We fastened the rope to the gap at the edge of the tomb with a steel hook, and pulled it hard to make it strong, and we began to climb down the cliff one by one.

Wen Mo walked in the front, followed by Lantern Xiao and me, and Kong Xue followed behind. At first, all we could see was the cliff in front of us, surrounded by darkness, we slowly slid down, and gradually, under the light of the flashlight, the bronze chests appeared at our feet.

These bronze chests are large in number and stacked very high, and they are located on the mountain, and from what we have just seen, it is estimated that they are stacked at least about twenty layers.

We cautiously stepped on it and tested it, but fortunately the bronze boxes were not rotten, and they were relatively secure against the mountain.

A few of us stood at the top of these bronze chests, still in front of us in endless darkness. I crouched down and looked at the bronze box at my feet.

The chest was carved with some very simple patterns, which were cool to the touch and covered with green rust marks. I tapped lightly, and it seemed empty. "What the hell is this, you say? What is it for? ”

Lantern Xiao also squatted down and looked at it, "Could it be a treasure chest, which is full of funeral goods?" ”

"Damn, you're full of babies, aren't you? You're a natural businessman! ”

Lantern Xiao didn't get angry when he heard me say this, looking at him like that, he seemed to be looking to see if he could open it, took out a climbing hammer and kept knocking on this and that.

Kong Xue was a little flustered, and slapped Lantern Xiao hard, "Don't toss around, if this stack of boxes collapses, we will all fall!" ”

Seeing that Kong Xue's face was already a little pale, Lantern Xiao also stopped moving, "Obey orders!" ”

Fortunately, these boxes are not neatly arranged, and the height is staggered, so that a large "step" is formed.

A few of us climbed down the steps carefully, and some of the boxes were not very sturdy, and they swayed when we stepped on them, which made us tremble several times.

Wenmo walked in the front, I followed, Lantern Xiao and Kong Xue walked in the back, walking and walking, Lantern Xiao suddenly said "Huh", and then stopped.

I was a little curious, so I also leaned over and followed Lantern Xiao's gaze, and there was a smooth thing on the side of the box on a few raised lines.

Lantern Xiao reached out and wiped it, and a red spherical object appeared, "I'll go!" It's like a gem! Hehe, this is a fortune, this chest is inlaid with a ruby! With that, Lantern Xiao took out a short knife and began to prry.

Lantern Xiao pried it hard, and a large area of rust and dirt on the surface of the box fell down, revealing its original appearance.

When we saw it, our faces changed. As we can see, this gem is not an ornament set on the surface of the chest, but actually in a ring. And those raised lines are not just patterns, but a few fingers, and the gemstone ring is worn on one finger.

We looked up with pale faces along our fingers, and between them were sticking out of the cracks in the bronze box.

After seeing all this, Lantern Xiao and I were all taken aback, and Kong Xue next to him screamed, his body shook and lost his center of gravity, and his hands and feet slipped and fell.

I hurriedly turned around and reached out with my right hand to grab her, but the rust on the bronze box I grabbed with my left hand was very seriously oxidized, and when I moved, the rust marks fell off, and my left hand was suddenly empty, and my whole body fell down.

Fortunately, under this rush, I reached Kong Xue, and I grabbed her arm. But it didn't help, and the two of us fell down together.

Just as I closed my eyes and prepared to land miserably, suddenly my clothes tightened, and I felt that someone had grabbed me by the back of my neck. The force was so great that the front collar was tightly pinched around my neck, and I almost suffocated.

But fortunately, because of this, my body stopped falling all of a sudden, and I hurriedly reached out again to grab the point of force and stabilize my body.

I looked back and saw that the person who grabbed me was Wenmo. The two of us pulled Kong Xue up together, Kong Xue's face was very ugly at this time, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and she grabbed her ankles tightly.

We hurriedly rolled up her trouser legs, only to see that the white ankles were already red and swollen, and when we touched it lightly, Kong Xue screamed in pain. It seems that the snow injury is not light, I don't know if it hurts the bones.

I was a little uneasy that in this case, the injury of one person was not intended to make our situation worse. I glared at Lantern Xiao fiercely, looking at the annoyance on Lantern Xiao's face, I didn't say anything.

Wenmo used the scabbard of the short knife as a splint, and cut some rope to fix Kong Xue's injured ankle.

The three of us worked together to get Kong Xue half lifted and half helped to the ground. At this time, Kong Xue's face seemed to be softened, but she still couldn't stand, Kong Xue looked very depressed, biting her lip tightly, tears rolling in her eyes.

We looked back at the huge bronze chests stacked on top of each other, and only then did we know what they were.

Those bronze boxes were full of corpses, which were actually coffins one by one!

Although we have seen all kinds of weird and strange things since this entry into the mountain, the feeling of being backed by a "coffin mountain" at this time still makes us shudder.

Kong Xue said a little nervously: "Could it be that there are corpses in here!" ”

I shone my flashlight at the bronze coffins, "Maybe this is the core of this ancient tomb, maybe this ancient tomb is a group tomb." ”

Lantern Xiao shook his head, "No, judging from the specifications of the tomb and the tomb passage outside, the real main tomb should not be so simple." ”

We looked around and saw that there was a huge space here, and it was supposed to be an underground cave. It is completely natural and there is no trace of artificial construction. Unless the tomb builder liked the original, this could never be the main burial chamber.

Moreover, we also vaguely found that in the open space in front of us, there are still many such bronze coffins.

"But who are the people who are dying here?" My mind is full of questions.

Lantern Xiao said: "Maybe it's the craftsmen who repair the tomb, many tombs will kill all the craftsmen after they are built." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" I waved my hand, "Will you kill the craftsmen one by one, then make the bronze coffins, and then one by one, and finally play a stack of arhats?!" ”

"And what do you say is going on?" Lantern Xiao looked at it and asked.

Hearing his question, I could only shake my head. Those who can answer these questions may have long since turned into dry bones.

I turned my head to look at Kong Xue, the pain in my body, coupled with the frustration in my heart, made her face very ugly.

I crouched down and asked, "How's it going?" Can you go? Kong Xue shook her head, "This place is a bit evil, anyway, let's get out of here first." ”

"Yes, yes," Lan Xiao patted his chest, "Kong Xue, I'll carry you!" It's okay! Lantern Xiao felt guilty, so he behaved very positively.

Kong Xue glanced at him hatefully, "You go away for me, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen like this!" I don't need you! ”

"I'd better do it!" I turned around, "If we work together, we'll get through this!" You hold on! ”

Kong Xue looked at me, nodded, and lay on top of me.

It should be a very pleasant and wonderful moment for a beautiful woman to carry it, but I really don't want to experience it. Kong Xue's injury has put us in a dilemma, and now we have to take one step at a time.

Lantern Xiao carried my equipment, Wenmo opened the way, and I carried Kong Xue on my back to follow them and continue to move forward.

Sure enough, just as we saw, there were still many bronze coffins in front of us, stacked in twos and threes, scattered together.

Each bronze coffin is about 80 centimeters high, stacked in twos and threes, almost 1.78 or even 2.5 meters, so we can't cross over them, we can only walk through the gaps between them.

These bronze coffins seem to be very chaotic and random, and the gaps between them are sometimes very narrow, and we can only pass sideways, and it is even more difficult for me to turn sideways with Kong Xue on my back.

Soon I was sweating a little, and Kong Xue couldn't stop saying, let me take a break. But I really couldn't stay in such a pile of coffins, I wanted to step out in one step, but it backfired, and we walked like this for a long time, but these bronze coffins still kept appearing on both sides of us.
