Chapter 7: The Pit of a Thousand Bones

The fishy wind came and went, getting stronger and stronger. With the hissing sound of rubbing against the bluestone bricks on the ground, dust kept flying, and it seemed that something big was getting closer to this place.

"Scorpion, you keep looking for the mechanism. Others, take the gun, cover the scorpion, and prepare for a big battle!" Huang Laoxie took a step forward after the distribution, his muscles bulged, he held the gun, and his sharp eyes were firmly fixed on the dusty Yongdao.

Just when several people were nervous and held their breath to prepare for the battle, they only heard a loud "click" that shook the nerves of several people. When he looked back, he saw that the stone door that was still closed just now had opened a crack in the door that could allow one person to pass through! The scorpion said expressionlessly, "The door is open, get in quickly." Then he took the lead and disappeared behind the door with his gun in hand.

Seeing this, Wei Yu muttered: "This person is so powerful, why did he run first at a critical time?"

"I don't think so, he should have gone to find our way. Wei Qing thought for a moment and explained.

"Roarโ€”" There was another roar, and the sand and dust swept through the corridor, and it was impossible to see anything clearly. Wei Qing's eyes were fascinated by sand, and she could only close her eyes and cautiously grope her way to get close to the stone gate.

"Ahem, here!" I don't know who said in a deep voice.

"Damn, what kind of monster is this!"

Bang, bang-

"Quick, get in the door, quickโ€”" The voices around him faded away.

"Sister, this way!" Wei Yu grabbed Wei Qing's wrist tightly and pulled it hard.

"Bang-" The stone door shut.

Before he had time to catch his breath, Wei Yu's strength just now was too great, and he didn't have time to stop his steps, and after hiding in the stone gate, he rushed forward two steps by inertia.

"Stop!" the scorpion stepped forward to block his way.

"Oops!" Wei Yu hit the scorpion and hurriedly took two steps back, "I said, big brother, why are you blocking the way, and you are still blocking so tightly." He covered his nose and rubbed it.

The scorpion stepped aside: "There is a cliff in front of you, so if you think you have a long life, just keep running." โ€

Wei Qing finally washed her eyes at this time, she looked around, and she didn't expect that behind the stone gate was a huge cave. It was so big that she used the bright light with a flashlight, but she couldn't find the cliff opposite and the rocks overhead. At this time, there is a small platform under their feet, and there is no end to it below. The only passage was an artificially constructed staircase against the nearby mountain wall, which continued down and extended until it was hidden into darkness. And in the endless darkness were floating a little bit of flickering blue light, like a trance star in the night.

Huang Laoxie heard the scorpion's words and immediately ordered: "Mouse, send a signal flare!" The mouse had already calmed down at this time, he took out a flare from his backpack, and fired a signal flare at a forty-five degree angle on the opposite cliff.

Wei Qing looked at the scene below, and it took a long time to react to what those under the cliff were.

From a distance, the bottom of this large cave was densely packed with thousands of white-flowered human bones! There was hardly any space between the human bones, and the human scalp was numb to watch. And the little "stars" I just saw must be ghost fires.

"Is this, a burial pit?" Wei Qing gasped.

"The eldest lady is right, this should be a burial pit. The scorpion rarely accosted, "The road just now is no longer walking, maybe we can find a way out below." He turned his head to look at Huang Laoxi, Huang Laoxie nodded, and he took the flare gun in the mouse's hand, and then fired another flare from the route just now.

This time I can look more closely. I saw that there were still countless human bones below, but there was a circular protrusion in the middle of the human bones, about ten square meters, and there was nothing on it, but on the ground that was only ten square meters, there were messy colorful patterns. The whole place looked like an altar.

"Oh my god, this is a pit of a thousand bones, we, are we sure we want to go down?"

"Don't you want to go down?" Huang Laoxie turned his head to look at the mouse, and the mouse nodded hurriedly, "Okay, give you two ways, the first one is to leave your food to us, and then stay here with these bones, and the second one is to leave your food to us, and you go back the way you are." Oh, by the way, the monster was injured on the way over, but it should still be there, so you have to be careful. โ€

After hearing this, the mouse immediately sneered: "Huang Ye, just now, I just made sure that I didn't mean anything else." Hehe, go down, of course we have to go down, we still have to go to the boss, even if you go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I will go!"

"Well, in that case, let's go down quickly. Huang Lao Xie turned around and stepped out of the way.

"I, me?" asked the mouse, pointing to himself.

"Who just said that the sword mountain is going down to the sea of fire?" Huang Laoxi's voice was majestic.

"I'll go first, I'll go first. The rat took the lead and walked down the stairs first. The rest of the men cautiously followed.

"Let you see the smile," Huang Laoxie whispered to the Wei brothers and sisters: "Although the mouse is as timid as a mouse, he is astute, observant, sharp-eyed, and sharp-eared, and he can spot any small thing at the first time." โ€

"No one is perfect, this ancient tomb is so weird, it is normal for people to be frightened. Wei Qing replied lightly, unable to see other emotions.

Before they knew it, they had reached the bottom of the cliff, and several people remained silent. It's not summer yet, but there are surprisingly many ghosts here. Maybe it's because it's littered with hundreds of human bones. Although it has been proven that human bones contain phosphorus, when phosphorus reacts with water or alkali, a gas that can spontaneously ignite is produced, which is ghost fire, also known as phosphorus fire. However, due to the light weight of the phosphorus fire, as long as a living person passes by or speaks nearby, the phosphorus fire will float around the person with the flow of air as if it was alive, following the living person. Although everyone knows this principle, it is strange and scary to be followed by a group of phosphorus fire in such a quiet and eerie ancient tomb.

Since there was no gap in the ground, every now and then a scattered bone would be accidentally stepped on, and several people would walk very slowly with each other's support. At this time, the mouse who had been walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and looked at Huang Laoxie behind him with a look of wanting to say something.

Huang Laoxie frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly." โ€

The mouse pointed to the bones beside him and said, "Huang Ye, look, they all seem to be kowtowing to that altar!"

Immediately, everyone stopped and slowed their breathing, and the silence of the dark cavern returned. Now walking at the bottom of this hole, which is about the size of two football fields, looking at the white bones under my feet and around me, I can't see the end at a glance. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that those bones are really not disorganized, some of them have lost the support of ** and are scattered everywhere, but some of them are invariably centered on the altar in the middle of the cave, and they are prostrate on the altar towards the altar and make a kneeling appearance!

Usually the burial pits are slaves or prisoners of war, and the bones of the present are probably neither. Because if they were killed, there was no need to put these bones in order or even to prostrate themselves. Could it be that these ancients voluntarily sacrificed themselves as sacrifices? What kind of terrible beliefs did they feel that spiritual faith was more important than living life?

"Since there is no other exit in this cave, and these bones are all facing the altar, I think there must be some clue at the altar!" Wei Qing analyzed.

Huang Laoxie looked at Wei Qing and nodded approvingly. The men continued to walk towards the altar. Just when I was walking more than half of the way, I only heard a few sounds of "bang, bang", and the stone gate shook when I came!

The scorpion looked at the stone gate and said, "Let's speed up, it's the monster chasing after us!"
