Chapter 067: The Endless Tomb Road
Hearing this, my heart suddenly tightened, the appearance of corpse poison in this place only means one thing: the source of corpse poison is nearby.
"What's the sound?" Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Don't make a sound!" I immediately told everyone to take their breath away, and in this situation, it was definitely not a good thing to come across something that I didn't know what it was.
As if to confirm Caiyun's words, before I could think of a countermeasure, there was a sound of Si Xi Suo in the distance in the passage below, and this voice was approaching in the direction where we were.
"This big net, shouldn't it be the tool that the thing used to catch blood food?" I couldn't help but feel terrified.
At this time, another change occurred. I only heard a sudden "Kala" sound in the deep pit, and a moment later, the upper and lower sides of the deep pit were simultaneously heard the sound of "rumbling" stones rubbing.
Raised the flashlight to shine on both sides, only to see the upper and lower sides of the pit, and there were huge boulders slowly closing.
"What the hell, do you want to be so ruthless?"
And at the moment when the boulder activated, I could clearly feel that the sound of the stinging from the passage below suddenly became much louder, as if the thing heard the movement of the mechanism here and accelerated the speed of approaching.
Time suddenly became short, and without thinking, we shone our flashlights at the entrance of the passage on the other side.
This entrance is our only life.
Without further ado, we all hurriedly lay on the big net, and crawled along the big net to the wall where the entrance was.
We soon climbed to the junction of the net and the wall of the pit, and when we got closer, we found that there was a crack in the wall of the hole that was the width of a palm, and the net was protruding from this crack.
Looking at this situation, I was a little confused, "There is no gap between the big net and the pit wall, how can we jump into the passage below?" ”
"Get out of the way, and I'll cut the net." Ren Yonghai drew a dagger and climbed to the front.
Seeing Ren Yonghai's posture, I hurriedly pulled Xu Yaxian and Caiyun back a few steps, and instructed them to use their hands and feet together and tightly hook the net rope.
I myself climbed behind Ren Yonghai again, holding on to the net rope with one hand and tugging at his belt with the other.
In this situation, it is useless to just make an opening in the pit wall. The mouth of the passage is located vertically below the pit wall, even if it is drilled down from the opening, people can't swing into the net at all, and once they let go, the whole person can only fall directly to the bottom of the pit under the action of gravity.
Although Ren Yonghai and I can use the strength of our arms to hold the lower edge of the passage during the fall, Xu Yaxian and Caiyun will definitely not be able to do it.
So, Ren Yonghai planned to take local materials and get a rope out.
Ren Yonghai soon cut a net rope more than 30 centimeters wide and more than 2 meters long on the side close to the pit wall.
As soon as the net was cut, several of us fell down under the action of gravity, especially Xu Yaxian, who almost fell out of the mouth, but fortunately Caiyun pulled her in time, which scared her little face white.
The huge stone squeezed along the crater, the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and when I looked at it with a flashlight, the surface of the stone was even densely covered with sharp metal tips half an inch long, which if it was poked, it would not be a meat patty but also a meat sauce.
"Officer Ren, hurry up, there's not much time left for us!"
"Don't rush!" Ren Yonghai quickly rolled the net rope in his hand into a long rope the thickness of a baby's arm, threw it to Caiyun, and said, "Girl, you swing over with the rope." ”
He turned his head to me again and said, "Lin Kun, I'll go over and take care of it first." ”
I nodded, climbed up to Xu Yaxian's side, and wrapped my arms around her waist hard. When the clouds swing past for a while, it will pull the whole big net, this girl has weak arms, and if she falls, she will die.
Ren Yonghai climbed the gap in the pit wall, his body was lying tightly on the pit wall, and as soon as he let go, the whole person fell straight down. When he slid through the passage, he grabbed the lower edge of the cave with both hands, and then supported his body with both hands, and climbed into the cave in three or two strokes.
At the same time, Caiyun grabbed the rope and slid down, and the whole person was like a light swallow, drawing an arc of a pendulum in the air, and when it approached the entrance of the cave, as soon as he put his hands down, he landed firmly at the entrance of the cave.
I quickly retracted the rope and began to prepare for the swing.
Seeing that I skillfully wrapped the rope around my wrist, Xu Yaxian looked at the rope with a pale face, and then looked at the hole below, and hesitated: "What should I do if you pass, I can't hold this rope steadily, where can I swing over." ”
"Hold it tight!"
The stones are approaching all the time, and without a flashlight, you can already vaguely see their outlines, I don't have time to explain more, one hand wrapped the rope, and the other hugged Xu Yaxian's slender waist, and with a loud shout, he slipped down from the mouth.
With a "bang", the broken surface of the big net could not bear the weight of two hundred and forty or fifty catties added up by two people, and along the connection between the rope and the net, it tore more than one meter in length.
Xu Yaxian and I hugged each other, swinging backwards for more than three meters, and at a distance of more than one meter under my feet, there were stones densely covered with sharp and pointed heads, which frightened Xu Yaxian to hug my waist tightly and dare not open her eyes.
Fortunately, after the momentum of the fall, the fracture surface of the large net did not continue to expand, and Xu Yaxian and I quickly swung backwards to the highest point. Then, with this pullback, you can swing towards the opposite passage before the stones close.
At this moment, a thick stench of corpses suddenly surged behind him, and a tall black figure pounced out of the passage behind him, stretched out an arm, and grabbed us swinging on the rope.
"Ahh Xu Yaxian screamed, don't be so frightened by the sudden change that her hands and feet became weak, and she almost slipped off me.
Fortunately, we had already swung forward in time, and the black shadow only had time to tear off a large piece of outer cloth from Xu Yaxian's body with a 'bang', and then fell into the pit below.
I hugged Xu Yaxian, brushed the boulder rising below and swept through the deep pit, and stepped on the ground at the entrance of the passage with one foot.
Ren Yonghai hurriedly came up and grabbed our rope, and Caiyun helped to help Xu Yaxian, who was weak, from me.
I turned around, and across the pit, I saw a tall humanoid figure leaping up from the bottom of the pit and climbing up to the mouth of the passage on the opposite side.
With a "bang", the boulder slammed shut behind us.
"Just now, what was that? You guys, you all saw it, right? ”
Xu Yaxian was shocked, the black coat on her body was torn open from the back, and a few rags were left hanging on her body, but fortunately she was wearing a shirt inside, so she would not go away.
Ren Yonghai nodded solemnly, he and Caiyun both saw the front of the black shadow, and the impact was not much smaller than Xu Yaxian.
"There is a strong corpse poison reaction, at least an ancient corpse of more than a thousand years." Caiyun answered.
Hearing this, Xu Yaxian's little face suddenly turned even paler: "Have a corpse poison reaction?" So, that thing, could it be the source of corpse poison? ”
I rubbed my temples with a headache and didn't speak, Xu Yaxian probably guessed correctly, this thousand-year-old corpse, nine times out of ten, is the source of those corpse poisons that leaked out before, but the problem is much more tricky than I estimated before.
I was still lucky, after all, it will produce corpse poison, it may not necessarily move, some tombs because of the terrain, corpses rot but not rot, in a confined space will also produce corpse poison.
If you encounter this situation, you can think of it as a trip, burn the carrion, pat the butt and leave.
It's just that now it seems that the character of several of us has not reached the passing line, and what awaits us here is not a rotting corpse, but a big zongzi with a history of at least 2,000 years.
What's even worse is that this zongzi can not only move, but also has run out of the coffin and wandered around. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the big net that saved our four lives was set up by this thing to prey on blood food.
The devil knows how much blood this guy has sucked into the tomb robbers in this tomb for more than 2,000 years, and if there is anything more difficult than a thousand-year-old corpse that can only run and move, it must be a thousand-year-old corpse that has been fed blood.
"Lin Kun, are you sure about dealing with that ancient corpse?" Ren Yonghai asked.
To put it in my heart, I am simply dealing with that ancient corpse alone, and I have forbidden bodies, what am I afraid of, but now there are a few of them around me, but it has become a constraint for me.
"The newly unearthed zongzi is its weakest time, and if you stagger this time, it is not a question of whether you can deal with it, and it may be more practical to run for your life quickly." On the balance, I still hope that they will obediently turn around and leave with me.
There was no one in the passage for a moment, and there was silence.
Even Xu Yaxian and Ren Yonghai, who were completely laymen, could imagine the power of the thousand-year-old corpse, and looking at the passage blocked by the boulder, they were a little glad that the mechanism in the pit was activated in time.
"Fortunately, that mechanism was activated just now, otherwise, wouldn't we be ...... trapped on the Internet," Ren Yonghai said.
Ren Yonghai broke the silence, and I continued: "This thing is blocked at that end, don't worry about it." The top priority is to find an exit as soon as possible. ”
A few people nodded in agreement, and we picked ourselves up and groped our way down the passage.
The scale of this passage is only slightly smaller than the collapsed corridor, about three meters wide, and four people walking side by side do not feel crowded.
This time, though, we all tried to walk in the middle as carefully as possible, for fear of accidentally touching the mechanism again.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, we all noticed that something was wrong, the passage seemed to have no end, and there was always darkness ahead.
"What the hell is this, what is the situation now, how can there be such a long tomb?" Ren Yonghai couldn't help but speak up first.
The four of us stopped and shone the flashlight forward and backward, and the light only shone out a dozen meters away, and it was completely engulfed by darkness.
"The underground grave can't be so long, there must be something wrong." Xu Yaxian looked around.
I looked up at Caiyun, she noticed my gaze, nodded heartily, and raised her hand to release a few Gu worms.
After a moment, Caiyun shook his head at me and said, "I didn't notice anything unusual. ”
It's a little weird, I look at the darkness at the end of the road ahead and frown. Xu Yaxian was right, we walked for more than ten minutes, and we were eight or nine hundred meters away. Not to mention underground, even on the ground there would not be such a long burial tunnel.
"It's weird." I couldn't help but worry.
"What are we going to do now?"
Everyone looked at me in unison.
"We can't go on like this." I stopped and said, "There's no harm in being horizontal and vertical, let me try it first!" ”
After saying that, I stepped forward, made a mudra, and drank, "Go! ”
The handprint flashed with a streamer, and as I shouted, it struck into the void in front of me, and vaguely, I seemed to see a layer of ripples in the void, spreading in all directions like ripples of water, and then vanishing.
