Chapter 137: The Flying Grim Reaper
Walking some distance forward in horror, I couldn't help but sigh that this burial chamber was too big, or rather too long!
Gradually, some stone pillars appeared on the ground, each of which was almost the thickness of the bowl mouth, and all the stone pillars were carved with phoenix bird patterns, and the workmanship of each stone pillar was exactly the same. It's just that these stone pillars are erected from the ground but do not go straight to the top of the tomb, but are almost as tall as a person.
The stone pillars are arranged in a neat row, each with an angle between them, as if they are forming a circle.
Tang Zhidong carefully observed the stone pillar, took out the compass and looked at the direction, and suddenly smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, we are already very close to King Shan Huan's coffin!" ”
Lantern Xiao patted these stone pillars and said, "Dad, what are these pillars for?" ”
Tang Zhidong said: "This arrangement is thousands of years ago, the most mysterious form of funeral in the Western Regions, so far, only one has been found on a sand dune near the ancient city of Loulan, and the one we see should be the second such cemetery in the world." This form of arrangement is a regular arrangement of stone pillars or logs around the coffin, and finally forms a radial outer edge, as if the sun is radiating rays, so such a cemetery is called the Sun Tomb! ”
Lantern Xiao nodded, "In this case, King Shan Huan's coffin should be located in the center of this sun cemetery!" ”
"That's right, that's right!" Tang Zhidong said.
After so many difficult twists and turns and strange things, we finally got the good news, and finding the coffin of the tomb owner means that this incident is finally coming to an end!
As we walked through the stone pillars, a lot of flashlights swept back and forth between the stone pillars, and I suddenly had the illusion that there were suddenly more people around me.
We went a little deeper into the pillars, and suddenly someone screamed!
Suddenly, everyone became nervous, and Lantern Xiao asked loudly, "Who is it!" Something is wrong! ”
But no one answered Lantern Festival, Zhou Cheng, who had been following Tang Zhidong's side, said: "Everyone look at the people around them, is there any problem?" ”
In the dark stone pillars around them, a few voices replied, "No." "We don't have any of them!"
My heart suddenly shocked, this is strange! Who made that scream just now? I hurried to see the people around me, but fortunately, Wenmo, Kong Xue, Lantern Xiao and Shi Tao were all there.
Everyone looked for it, and suddenly one of the guys said, "No! Liang Jin is gone! ”
"Liang Jin?" Lantern Xiao frowned, "Where was he just now?" The guy pointed to the side, "I just saw him go over there with his pants, I thought it was convenient for him to go to the side, so I didn't care!" I thought he would be back when he was done, but I didn't seem to see him come back, and when I thought about it, the voice seemed to be coming from that direction! ”
Several people immediately ran in that direction to take a look, and sure enough, we found some blood stains on the ground, but we didn't see Liang Jin's shadow. We looked around, but we didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
At this time, a guy suddenly said, "You see there seems to be a flashlight in front of you!" ”
We quickly turned our heads to look, and sure enough, in the middle of several stone pillars not far ahead, a flashlight flashed.
Lantern Xiao shouted, "Liang Jin! Isn't it you? But there was no response, Lantern Xiao turned his head and waved at a few guys, "Follow me!" With that, he took a few guys and chased after him to the location where the flashlight appeared.
Shi Tao looked left and right and said, "Let's go!" Get through here as soon as possible, I always feel like there's something wrong here! ”
"Good!" We all nodded in agreement, and we all began to quicken our pace, moving quickly towards the center of the stone pillars.
However, we had just walked a few steps forward, and suddenly I heard a scream again, I was startled, thinking it was the Lantern Festival, but I carefully identified it, and found that it was not the direction that the Lantern Festival chased just now.
We immediately followed the sound and raised the flashlight to shine through, but as we advanced, the stone pillars became more and more dense, and the flashlight was blocked by a large number of stone pillars, and it could not shine far at all.
We immediately ran towards the place where the sound was coming from, but I was halfway through when I suddenly felt someone kick me hard from behind, and the whole person flew forward at once.
Just before I landed, I felt something behind me and rushed over. I didn't care about the pain of falling, turned around and looked behind me, and found that there were only two people walking behind me, that is, Wenmo and Shi Tao, I speculated based on the strength and speed of that kick, nine times out of ten it was Wenmo.
I looked in the direction the thing was rushing into, froze, and asked, "What was that thing just now?" ”
Shi Tao shrugged his shoulders, and Wen Mo next to him also shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly." Then he looked at us again, "Everyone, pay attention, there's something around us!" This shocked our hearts!
Kong Xue, who was walking in front, saw me sitting on the ground, and hurriedly walked back to help me up, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I patted the soil on my body, "It's okay, thanks to Wenmo, I gave me a kick, otherwise I would have been tricked!" ”
Kong Xue looked around, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"I ......" Before I finished speaking, the screams around me suddenly rang out again, and this time one after another, endlessly! At the same time, gunshots rang out, and huge gunfire echoed throughout the space.
We were blindsided at once, Wen Mo pulled out the short knife and looked to the side for a moment, "Quick, go forward!" ”
I hesitated, so I said to Wenmo: "Since there is danger, should we quit first?" ”
Wen Mo shook his head, "Too late?" ”
At this moment, Lantern Xiao's voice came from the side, "Zhuo Ran be careful!" Topmost! ”
Before I could react, the sound of "da-da-da" gunshots rang out, and the bullets were all aimed at the top of my head. I subconsciously shrank my neck, and when I looked up, I saw that there was nothing in the air.
At this time, Lantern Xiao had already brought someone over, "Are you all right?" ”
I pointed around, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Lantern Xiao pulled us down, "Something is attacking us!" ”
"What's that?"
"I don't know I can't see clearly!" Lantern Xiao continued, "This thing is very powerful, if you touch it, you will lose a piece of meat at the lightest, and you will lose your life if it is heavy!" And this thing can fly! ”
"Can fly?" A thought flashed through my mind, and as soon as I thought about it, I immediately felt cold!
I finally knew why I had a strange feeling when I saw the bronze birds on the bronze tree, because all the bronzes here had become rusty after thousands of years, but the bronze birds were as bright as new, and I now understood that it was because they were alive in the first place!
"It's a bronze bird!" I blurted out, but Lantern Xiao didn't understand at all, "What did you say?" ”
I pointed to the sky, "Those bronze birds should have attacked us!" ”
Listening to my words, everyone around me was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, I heard a bad wind blowing overhead, and I shouted, "Bow down!" At the same time, he pulled the bolt of the gun and swept it upwards.
The thing on it spun around, and I don't know where it flew. At this moment, I saw two feathers falling from the air, and I reached out to pick one up, and this feather reflected the luster of metal under the reflection of the flashlight.
"Quick! Don't be stunned, you guys go! Lantern Xiao shouted, and at the same time fired a vigilant strafing at the sky.
We bent over and quickly walked through the dense stone columns, in the process of feeling countless black shadows hovering over the darkness, sometimes swooping from the sky, sometimes rushing straight and then soaring. Some of the bronze birds that rushed into our light range exuded a metallic sheen all over their bodies, like cannonballs, ready to penetrate our bodies at any time! Shi Tao was also scratched on the shoulder by a bronze bird that rushed over, and the blood instantly stained his clothes red.
Eventually, a few of us stumbled to the middle of the area enclosed by stone pillars, the center of the Sun Necropolis.
Others also came to this central area from different directions, and Lantern Xiao and Zhou Cheng, who protected Tang Chengdong, also escaped from among the several stone pillars. Everyone had a sense of survival, and I was shocked to find that the entire team had lost at least two-thirds of its numbers. The lethality of these air killers far exceeds that of the human-faced beetle! No wonder it was placed in the main burial chamber of this royal tomb!
We were horrified to see that there were a large number of bones scattered in this clearing, which looked like human bones, and there were so many that it was impossible to settle down. We stepped on it and made a "click" sound, which was nothing short of torture! Could this be the feeding place of those bronze birds, we immediately fell into deep fear!
Suddenly, there was a "fluttering" sound all around. We looked around and were horrified to find that there was a black shadow standing on every stone pillar nearby, and when we shone the flashlight on it, we would find that these black shadows were bronze birds!
We hurriedly put on a defensive posture, and my heart immediately rose to my throat, in such an open area, if these birds attack now, we will all be live targets!
But the bronze birds had no intention of continuing the attack, and instead quieted down. He wasn't afraid of our flashlight, he just watched us quietly.
In this way, the two sides confronted each other for a while, and suddenly I felt that someone slapped me behind me, and I turned my head to see that it was Zhou Cheng. I looked at him in amazement, and the latter took out two magazines and handed them to me, "You shouldn't have enough bullets." ”
