Chapter 167 [Dead or Not Dead] (I)

Lu Weilin pulled out the ordnance shovel behind him, aimed at the head of the drill gopher and slapped it over, beating the drill gopher to the ground on all fours, he thought that this heavy blow could make the drill gopher completely lose its combat effectiveness, but he didn't expect the drill gopher to still climb up strongly this time.

Lu Weilin no longer hesitated, he aimed at the chest of the drill gopher and shot continuously, three bullets hit the chest of the drill gopher one after another, the drill mole was still not knocked down, he seemed to have completely lost his sense of pain. Lu Weilin looked at the gopher that was approaching him like a zombie, and the muzzle of the gun was raised slightly, and the bullet shot out of the chamber, and this shot was aimed at the head of the gopher, and he shot the head.

The gopher fell to the ground, and the brains and black blood crumbled.

Lu Weilin frowned, he was worried that the gopher was still dead, and he shot the dead body in the head, not because of his cruel methods, but because the gopher's crazy performance just now shocked him, he was seventy percent sure that the gopher was because of the mutation that occurred after being bitten by that group of giant rats, if he was bitten by the gopher, I am afraid that he would also become like this.

Luo Lie and Bai Yunfei naturally heard the gunshots coming from above, the two stopped what they were doing, looked up, and it didn't take long to see Lu Weilin's head popping out, and he made a gesture to the two people below, indicating that everything above was as usual.

Bai Yunfei's heart began to become uneasy, he didn't know the situation above, guessing that it should be Lu Weilin who took the opportunity to kill the gopher, now the situation is obviously unfavorable to him, Luo Lie and Lu Weilin are obviously in a group, the grizzly bear is dead, if the gopher is also eliminated by them, then their next target is not themselves?

Luo Lie didn't stop for long, he searched the inside of the sarcophagus, and found a hard object from the pile of gold coins, Luo Lie carefully took out the hard object, and looked at it through the light, but the thing in his palm was a huge ruby.

Bai Yunfei was also used to seeing treasures, but he had never seen such a big ruby in Luo Lie's hand, and he knew that this gem was priceless at a glance. In fact, not only this gem, the gold coins in this sarcophagus and even the armor on the deceased are all valuable treasures, I don't know what kind of person this deceased can get such a thick burial? He reminded Luo Lie: "It's better to clean up the gold coins first." ”

Bai Yunfei and Luo Lie are not greedy for money, and the purpose of their coming today is not to find treasures, if they want to search the sarcophagus carefully, it is best to clear out the gold coins first.

Luo Lie nodded, and the two of them directly threw the gold coin outside, and the thrown gold coin rolled down the funnel-shaped gold engraving and entered the hole at the bottom.

After a while, the bones in the sarcophagus were completely exposed, and the hands of the skeletons could be clearly seen to be in a gripping position, Bai Yunfei said: "Strange, why did you just steal the sword?" It is actually normal to have such a question, after all, there are many treasures in the sarcophagus, not to mention that the ruby found by Luo Hunt alone should be worth far more than the sword, why did the thief just steal the sword?

With the emptying of the gold coin, the bottom of the sarcophagus was gradually exposed, and there were lines of English characters engraved on it, and the two worked together to lift the bones side, so that Luo Hunt could see the whole picture of this line of text, the text engraved in the sarcophagus should be an epitaph, which wrote the life of the deceased, usually most of these words are in the same format, nothing more than the introduction of the deceased's birthday, or the life deeds of the deceased, of course, many epitaphs will also introduce the deceased's family.

This is extremely common in the West, and they will also inscribe the family honor of the deceased, and this deceased is no exception. From the limited information, Luo Hunt has made an extremely important discovery, this alchemist, who has been dead for many years, turned out to be the descendant of the greatest magician of the Western Middle Ages, the Merlin family, who was the mentor and best friend of King Arthur, the legendary king of England, and was a hybrid of elves and humans, and was later killed by Vivien using the magic he taught because of his unrequited love for the huntress Vivien.

Luo Lie has always believed that Merlin and King Arthur are like characters in Chinese legends, historical data are not verifiable, and their authenticity is debatable, but he did not expect that in the underground palace under the Old Summer Palace, there was a skeleton of the descendants of the great magician Merlin.

The epitaph also mentions a King Arthur's scepter buried next to Merlot, and Luo Lie only remembered the scepter they picked up next to the statue of Yongzheng, and then looked at the ruby in his hand, which should be the lost one at the top of the scepter.

As for the real role of the scepter is not mentioned, according to the knowledge that Luo Hunt has mastered, it is speculated that if this scepter really comes from King Arthur, it should be a symbol of royal power and majesty, and has no other practical significance, according to his understanding, the most representative of King Arthur's power in his life should be the sword in the stone, which is often called the sword of the king, as for the scepter, it has not been handed down to the world, and few people know that King Arthur also has a scepter.

Luo Lie searched the sarcophagus carefully, but did not find the safe they were looking for.

Bai Yunfei also gained nothing, twisted a gold coin in his hand, turned it over and looked at the head above the gold coin, he didn't study the coins of other countries, at most he admired the pattern above, and couldn't read much information from it.

Luo Lie pointed upward, indicating that he wanted to leave here, Bai Yunfei nodded, since he entered the cave, he had become clueless, and he could only choose to follow Luo Lie's opinion.

The two returned to it and saw that the drill gopher had died tragically on the spot, and they had been shot several times, although they both understood that it was Lu Weilin who did it, but they had completely different thoughts from each other. Bai Yunfei thought that Lu Weilin was taking the opportunity to eradicate the drill gopher, so as to gain a numerical advantage. Luo Lie didn't see it that way, and from the several gunshots he heard just now, he could guess that Lu Weilin should be the first warning, and finally he should choose to shoot the gopher in the head when there was no choice. With Lu Weilin's cold character, if he wanted to kill someone, he would never waste so many bullets.

Bai Yunfei came to the corpse of the gopher, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Good marksmanship!

Lu Weilin didn't bother to explain.

Luo Lie noticed that all the blood flowing out of the drill gopher had turned black, which was obviously contrary to common sense, and he was about to remind Bai Yunfei of this, but the drill gopher, which was already considered dead, suddenly moved, stretched out his hands and hugged Bai Yunfei's legs, which was closest to him.

Bai Yunfei was surprised, you must know that the drill gopher has been shot in the head and shot in the heart, it is impossible for such a person to be alive. However, the facts are in front of him, the gopher actually sat up from the ground, and his bloody head pounced on Bai Yunfei, Bai Sensen's teeth intended to bite Bai Yunfei's thighs, although Bai Yunfei's martial arts were high, but this change was not expected by him at all, and it was too late for him to dodge at such a close distance.

Luo Lie didn't expect it, only Lu Weilin never relaxed his vigilance against the gopher, after all, he was the only one among the three who witnessed the whole process of the gopher going crazy. Lu Weilin raised the armory shovel in his hand and stretched out, blocking in front of the face door of the drill gopher, the drill gopher did not bite Bai Yunfei's body, and the front teeth touched the armory shovel and made a terrible sound.

Bai Yunfei dodged a catastrophe, reacted quickly, pulled out a scimitar from his waist, and cut off the right arm of the gopher with a knife, so that he could get rid of the entanglement of the gopher, although the right arm of the gopher was broken, it was still stuck to Bai Yunfei's body, Bai Yunfei used a scimitar to pull the broken arm away, only to see that his body was also covered with black blood.

The only remaining left arm of the gopher was still scratching around, Lu Weilin raised the armory shovel and slashed it horizontally according to his neck, the edge of the armory shovel was as sharp as a knife, this blow cut off the neck of the driller gopher, leaving only a little bit of skin and flesh to connect his head and body, the fracture kept bubbling with blood, the head of the drill gopher was still hanging upside down on his neck, his body was still not falling, and his left hand was scratching around.

Seeing the scene in front of them, all three of them felt extremely disgusted. Luo Lie waved his hand to signal them to retreat from here, and Bai Yunfei couldn't help but look behind him when he walked to the entrance of the cave, only to see where the corpse of the gopher was still struggling and wriggling.

The three of them returned to the flat ground, looking at the dark caves around them, and they had no intention of exploring them one by one. Lu Weilin briefly explained the situation he had just encountered to the two of them at this time, and Bai Yunfei also understood that he had misunderstood him.

Luo Lie looked at the corpses of the giant rats flying around not far away, and said in a low voice: "These big rats should carry some kind of germs on their bodies, and the gopher became like this after being bitten." ”

Bai Yunfei nodded and said, "It's just that why he didn't die after being shot several times?"

Luo Lie said: "Maybe it's dead." ”

Lu Weilin said: "You mean he became a zombie?"

Luo Lie narrowed his eyes, in the past he didn't believe in the zombies, but facts speak louder than words, after witnessing the changes of the gopher, he also believed in this possibility, the change of the gopher is like a zombie in Western legends, maybe the gopher is really not dead, because he was bitten by the rat and infected with the virus, this virus made his vitality extremely tenacious.

In order to seek immortality, Emperor Yongzheng secretly set up this Hundred Refining Cave under the Old Summer Palace, and perhaps Zhang Taixu's group of Taoists had refined some pills, and these pills were mistakenly ingested by underground creatures, so that their bodies mutated and gained amazing vitality.

Lu Weilin and Bai Yunfei both looked at Luo Lie, whether they admit it or not, they could only follow Luo Lie's guidance in this unknown underground world. Bai Yunfei saw from Luo Lie's confused gaze that Luo Lie also seemed to be lost at this time.
