Luo Lie stood in the center of the twelve gold carvings, surrounded by the 12 zodiac statues with animal heads and human bodies, and a Western-style sarcophagus in the center of the mercury cave was extremely abruptly horizontally there.

The gopher's eyes showed a greedy gaze, and his attention was always focused on the twelve gold carved plates, if these engravings were all made of pure gold, then just taking one of them would make him prosperous and rich for the rest of his life, because his heartbeat began to speed up, but unfortunately in the state of holding his breath, his oxygen consumption increased rapidly, and the gopher was the first to turn around and leave for breath.

Bai Yunfei quietly looked at everything in front of him, he didn't dare to speak, just pointed to the sarcophagus in the middle with his finger.

Luo Lie looked at Bai Yunfei and nodded, he understood what Bai Yunfei meant, the secret may be in the sarcophagus.

Luo Lie beckoned to Lu Weilin, and after Lu Weilin chose the fixed point, he also slid along the rope to the cave. Only close to this sarcophagus can feel its weirdness, come to Luo Lie's side, the top of the sarcophagus is now level with the top of their heads, bow down and look up from below, you can see that the first place of the sarcophagus is supported by a Roman column, the sarcophagus and the Roman column are not one, there is a relief at the bottom of the sarcophagus, but the carving is a naked half-body woman, the upper body is humanoid, the lower body is a snake tail, that is, the legend of the common beauty snake.

Luo Lie had already identified that the relief at the bottom of the sarcophagus was Medusa, this woman was not only a snake body, but also her hair braids were all small snakes. Luo Lie couldn't figure out the reason for this, why Zhang Taixu wanted to hide Merlot's coffin here, judging from the mechanism just now, Zhang Taixu still spent a lot of thought back then.

Lu Weilin said: "Open it?"

Luo Lie said: "Have you noticed that this coffin is bigger than usual?"

Lu Weilin only realized this after he reminded him, the sarcophagus is heavy, after all, it is different from the common coffins in China. Despite this, he believed that if he joined forces with Luo Lie, he should still be able to open the sarcophagus.

Luo Lie said: "You give the mask to Bai Yunfei, he should have a way." ”

Lu Weilin was stunned in his heart, and immediately understood what he meant, Luo Lie didn't trust Bai Yunfei, among the three people who came with them, Bai Yunfei was obviously the most powerful one, it was very unsafe to leave such a person outside, which was why Luo Lie was not in a hurry to open the sarcophagus.

Bai Yunfei immediately understood Luo Lie's intention after listening to Lu Weilin's relay, he nodded, took the gas mask from Lu Weilin's hand, and walked down the rope to Luo Lie's side. Because it was naturally difficult to speak with a gas mask, Bai Yunfei said loudly: "What are you going to do?"

Luo Lie said: "Open this sarcophagus." ”

Bai Yunfei nodded, and then said, "I can't see that your suspicion is really serious." ”

Luo Lie said: "If you are suspicious, Mr. Bai will not be able to come here at all." ”

Bai Yunfei's heart sank, but he couldn't deny that what Luo Hunt said was very reasonable, in fact, along the way, Luo Hunt had many opportunities to get rid of them, especially when encountering the tide of corpse insects, Luo Hunt could set a trap and let them fall into the encirclement of corpse insects, Luo Hunt did not do that, but chose to sacrifice his life to relieve them.

Luo Lie patted the bottom of the sarcophagus and said, "This sarcophagus is rare in the East, but there are many in Europe." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Why did the Qing Dynasty emperor spend so much effort to transport a coffin from Europa?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said: "It should be made of local materials, when the Old Summer Palace was built, many European craftsmen were employed, and these craftsmen were able to design a building like the Great Water Law Yuanyingguan, and a coffin would naturally not be difficult for them." ”

Bai Yunfei said: "Isn't it a monster lying inside?"

Luo Lie didn't speak, but he couldn't help but think of the red-clothed girl in the ice coffin of the Nine Secret Realms, the princess of the Western Xia Kingdom, who was still lifelike after more than 800 years, and the female corpse had been taken to Ganbian Ningxia by Yan Tianxin, with the intention of letting her soul return to her homeland, but the ghost of the lonely soul for hundreds of years.

Bai Yunfei said again: "I'm afraid it's a pile of white bones." ”

Luo Lie climbed the sarcophagus, and his right palm landed on the samurai relief on the front, but he suddenly felt a palpitation, he hurriedly removed his palm from the cold sarcophagus, calmed down his emotions, and then put his palm on it again.

Bai Yunfei came to the other end of the sarcophagus, he also felt the movement in the sarcophagus by touching, although Bai Yunfei never believed in evil, but since entering the underground palace today, everything he has experienced has subverted his past cognition.

Luo Lie's palm came from a cold and hard feeling, the sarcophagus hidden in the mercury pool did not leave too many traces of time because it was isolated from the air, from the appearance of the sarcophagus is very new, still maintaining the appearance of the original completion, Luo Lie closed his eyes, and screened the distracting thoughts in his heart, he did not perceive any vitality from the sarcophagus, and even around them, in the mercury cave, except for him and Bai Yunfei, there were no other lifeforms.

Luo Lie opened his eyes and carefully observed the gap part of the coffin lid, the coffin lid and the coffin body were closed with a substance similar to wax, and he took out a flying knife to insert it into the gap, but the light and thin blade could not be inserted into it freely, which showed the precision of the workmanship.

The two of them searched carefully around the edge of the sarcophagus, and found a gap near the top of the sarcophagus, which was enough to insert a crowbar, Luo Lie judged from the appearance that this sarcophagus should have been opened by someone, and this gap should be a trace of man-made destruction, Luo Lie took out the crowbar he carried with him, inserted the tip from the gap, and cocked the coffin lid with both arms, Bai Yunfei grabbed the edge of the coffin lid and helped push it aside. Because the position of the sarcophagus is higher, the two of them are not good at exerting force, and it took a lot of effort to push the coffin lid open, they were afraid that the coffin lid would directly hit the ground and touch the mechanism, so the two of them worked together to lift the coffin lid and put the coffin lid aside.

The sarcophagus did not have any hidden weapons, but lay a skeleton of Bai Sensen, wearing gold armor and a golden helmet, with his hands folded in front of his chest, and maintaining almost the same posture as the relief samurai on the lid of the coffin, except that he did not hold any weapons in his hands. Most of the body of the deceased was submerged in gold coins, and the gold coins accompanying the burial took up almost half of the sarcophagus.

Bai Yunfei also noticed this, and guessed in his heart that it was likely that someone had stolen the sword in the deceased's hand. Although there were a lot of treasures in the coffin, there was no safe that Bai Yunfei was looking for, he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, in all fairness, he didn't want to continue to stay in this weird underground world, and his underlying willingness was very much to leave here as soon as possible.

One of Luo Lie's feet had already stepped into the sarcophagus, and he seemed to hear a voice calling in his heart, and he wanted to find out.

After Lu Weilin ventilated, he came to the mercury cave again, and condescendingly observed the situation below, because he couldn't see the details inside the sarcophagus from a distance. Just as he was trying to observe, he suddenly felt something strange behind him, and turned to look, only to see the gopher standing behind him with his head tilted, a pair of bloodshot eyes looking at him strangely.

Lu Weilin did not ask questions because he was worried about inhaling mercury vapor, but a sense of foreboding came to his heart. The drill gopher staggered towards him, and Lu Weilin stepped back, he had an extremely keen sense of danger.

The gopher suddenly burst out with a terrible scream, and then opened his arms and pounced on Lu Weilin, Lu Weilin grabbed his arms and tried to push him away from his side, the gopher looked like a madman, opened his mouth, blood was dripping between his teeth, and Bai Sensen's teeth tried to tear Lu Weilin's throat.

Lu Weilin raised his foot against the lower abdomen of the drill gopher, so that he could not succeed, and then kicked the drill gopher out from the side with all his might, the drill gopher fell to the ground, and soon got up from the ground in an extremely weird posture, first pouted his buttocks, his chin was on the ground, he raised his head and looked up at Lu Weilin, and his throat let out a strange laugh.

Lu Weilin already felt suffocated at this time, and he wanted to go out to ventilate but was blocked by the gopher. The drill gopher staggered to its feet and attacked Lu Weilin again.

Lu Weilin didn't know what happened to him? In a critical situation, he raised the butt of his gun and smashed it on the front door of the gopher, and the head of the gopher turned to the side because of Lu Weilin's heavy blow, but he seemed to have lost his sense of pain, and still approached Lu Weilin at any cost.

Lu Weilin tried to escape through the gap around him after hitting the gopher, first going outside to ventilate before thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him. The gopher pounced on him, grabbed his left leg, and then opened his mouth to try to bite him the calf.

Lu Weilin didn't know if this guy had such a change because of the bite of the giant rat, and when he saw that the gopher was about to bite him again, he raised his right foot and kicked it the face door of the gopher, and the gopher was kicked by him and his head was thrown back, but he still refused to let go of Lu Weilin.

Lu Weilin couldn't hold on anymore, so he raised his pistol and aimed at the right shoulder of the gopher to shoot.

After being shot by the gopher, his arm relaxed slightly, and after Lu Weilin broke free, he quickly fled towards the entrance of the cave. When I came to a place where the air was fresh, I took a few breaths of air hard, and the feeling of suffocation disappeared. At this time, the gopher tracked down again, and all the black blood flowed from the injured shoulder, with a weird smile on his face, and his mouth was open and closed, and he seemed to be delirious.

Lu Weilin roared angrily: "Stop me, otherwise I will be rude to you." ”

His threat did not have any effect on the drill mole, the drill mole still walked towards him step by step, Lu Weilin had no choice but to raise the pistol and shoot the right leg of the drill gopher, the drill gopher bent his right leg, and then dragged the injured right leg limping towards Lu Weilin.

Lu Weilin had never seen such a strange scene, he shot the left leg of the gopher again, the gopher was injured in both legs but still did not fall to the ground, dragging the two injured legs and still continued to move forward.
