Chapter 22: The Nest

In the ear room, Xue Ergou gave two swords, one of which was given to Liu Chenhan, and the other was hung on his waist for self-defense.

After leaving the ear room, he returned to the bronze giant in the center of the main hall. In the trembling sound of Juding, Xue Ergou carefully observed the furnishings of the entire hall.

The empty hall was covered with dust, and the footprints of the two were all over the hall. Suddenly, Xue Ergou walked towards the wall on the right side of the main hall on the right, stretched out his finger and wiped a handful of dust on the wall, only to see that there seemed to be traces of carving on the wall covered by dust.

Shaking off the dust on his fingers, Xue Ergou immediately took off his backpack, took out a blanket wrapped in poisonous dust beads, and wiped the walls of the hall on the left and right sides one by one.

"Ahem. Xue Ergou and Liu Chenhan covered their mouths and noses with the clothes on their arms, and when the dust cleared, they saw exquisite murals on the walls.

"Are there any useful clues on the mural?" Liu Chenhan looked at Xue Ergou.

Xue Ergou, who was walking back and forth on both sides of the main hall, looked at the murals on the wall and muttered something silently.

Long.

After Xue Ergou finished reading all the murals, he turned to Liu Chenhan and said: "The first mural on the left should say that Cao Cao, born in a family of bureaucrats and landlords, has had the opportunity to contact the children of official eunuchs since he was a child, and Yuan Shao was also a good friend of Cao Cao when he was young......

As for the second mural, it is said that in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan's army fought Cao Cao's army in Chibi, Cao's army was defeated, Cao Cao fled with the rest of his army, and fled into an underground cave in a panic on the way, and was able to escape. After the crisis passed, Cao Cao sent scouts to explore the cave and found that there were phoenixes nesting in the cave......

This third mural says that Cao Cao ascended to the throne as the king of Wei and sent a million troops to the underground cave to slaughter the phoenix. Later, the million army suffered heavy casualties and was killed and wounded, and the phoenix was finally slaughtered, and Cao Cao then sent people to take the blood of the phoenix, wanting to refine the medicine to live forever......

The fourth mural says that when the medicine was made, he was suspicious by nature and sent 25 drug testers to test the medicine for him. Cao Cao saw that the person who tested the medicine was fine after taking the medicine, so he took the medicine. After taking the medicine, Cao Cao thought that he would enjoy eternal life, but he never thought that Yu Jian'an would die of illness in Luoyang in the twenty-fifth year. Before he died, Cao Cao ordered people to ...... The mural behind this is blurred, as if it has been erased. ”

After listening to Xue Ergou's interpretation of the mural, Liu Chenhan was a little unacceptable for a while.

Xue Ergou: "Are you okay?"

Liu Chenhan: "I'm fine, but I feel that the worldview I have established since childhood is incompatible with what I have seen and heard at this moment. ”

Xue Ergou: "Since you have decided to follow me to the tomb, you need to adapt to these as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm. Liu Chenhan nodded in response.

"Now there should be no clues available in this hall, let's open the bronze door together and see if the place behind the door is the place where the phoenix nests. Xue Ergou looked at the bronze door.

Liu Chenhan: "Okay. ”

The two walked to the bronze door, only to find that the sound of the bronze giant tripod behind them had disappeared.

Xue Ergou thought: "This is a bit confusing, is it because you are afraid of what is behind the door?"

Liu Chenhan on the side also changed slightly.

Xue Ergou: "No matter, let's push the bronze door open together." ”

"Wait!" Xue Ergou just raised his hand, but was stopped by Liu Chenhan.

"What?" Xue Ergou asked suspiciously.

"Traps. Liu Chenhan briefly expressed what he meant.

Xue Ergou: "You are too nervous, the people of the Borneo tribe have already stepped on the thunder for us." ”

"Hmm. "Liu Chenhan.

Xue Ergou: "Let's push this bronze door open together." ”

Liu Chenhan: "Okay. ”

The two of them pushed the bronze door with all their might.

"Squeak. ”

The bronze door was opened, revealing the world behind them.

What the two didn't expect was that behind the door was a naturally formed cave. The dome of the cave is covered with stalagmites, and in the center is the ruins of trees and a huge nest.

The whole body of the nest is red, like the crystal clear of agate, and the temperature in the entire underground cave is surprisingly high, and the closer you get to the giant nest, the higher the temperature.

Xue Ergou and Liu Chenhan investigated the entire cave and found no abnormalities, so they prepared to board the giant nest to find out.

Xue Ergou put on combat gloves, covered the exposed skin of his whole body, and took out water from his backpack to wet his whole body as much as possible.

The two of them retreated to the giant nest about twenty or thirty meters, and Xue Ergou bowed down and stepped on the lunge, took a deep breath and rushed towards the giant nest. About a meter away from the giant nest, he jumped up and climbed up the giant nest and climbed outside the giant nest.

Three steps and two steps for a quick upward climb.

On the top edge of the giant nest, Xue Ergou looked into the nest, stunned......

"Old Xue, what's the situation above?" Liu Chenhan shouted anxiously.

Xue Ergou was awakened by Liu Chenhan's voice, and immediately prepared to turn around and jump. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something in the nest, and he didn't want to turn over into the inside of the giant nest.

"Old Xue ......" Liu Chenhan couldn't believe that Xue Ergou actually turned over into the giant nest.

The heartbroken Liu Chenhan was about to climb the giant nest to collect Xue Ergou's body, but he never thought that a figure appeared in the giant nest, turned over and jumped to the ground.

I saw that the figure seemed to be holding something in his arms, rolling on the ground to extinguish the flames on his body.

Liu Chenhan took a closer look and found that it was Xue Ergou, so he immediately dropped his coat and stepped forward to extinguish the fire on Xue Ergou.

Fire extinguished.

"What are you nervous about, what if something happens to me. Liu Chenhan hugged Xue Ergou and said with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. Xue Ergou, who was hugged, was a little blind, and when he reacted, he hugged Liu Chenhan.

Xue Ergou: "Don't be angry, listen to me explain to you, there is a huge bird-like corpse in the giant nest, and there is an obvious penetrating wound on the chest. I made a closer look and found that the body lying in the giant nest was the remains of a phoenix, and it was a female phoenix. ”

"Female phoenix?" Liu Chenhan, who was hugged by Xue Ergou, wondered.

"Yes, the head of the chicken, the jaw of the swallow, the neck of the snake, the back of the turtle, the tail of the fish, the five colors, six feet high. That's what I saw inside the Giant Live. Xue Ergou patted Liu Chenhan on the back.

Xue Ergou: "When I turned over and went down to the nest, I found that the female phoenix showed a touch of white under the body, so I didn't think much about it, and turned over directly into the nest." ”

Liu Chenhan: "Are you sure there is a phoenix in the giant nest?"

Xue Ergou: "I'm sure." ”

Liu Chenhan: "Okay, I know, I'm not allowed to take any more risks in the future." ”

Xue Ergou: "I see." ”

Xue Ergou, who was being held, saw the ground next to the giant nest, full of cracks like cobwebs, and had some bad premonitions in his heart.

It's useless to think so much, Xue Ergou handed over the phoenix egg in his arms to Liu Chenhan.

"This is a phoenix egg, you put it away properly. "Xue Ergou.

"Okay. Liu Chenhan said as he put away the phoenix egg and put it in the bag.
