Volume 1 Chapter 100: Ghost Fire
After squatting on the ground to check the situation of the tomb leader, the butterfly turned back to the eldest sister and said, "The injuries on this tomb leader are all new, and the person in front should have already entered." ”
"Then hurry up, if you go in later, he will take the things you in."
I knew that the eldest sister was referring to Bai Sha, and when I looked at the tomb on the ground, I couldn't help but think that when Bai Sha touched it, I easily broke one of its arms, and I wasted all my strength to severely damage a tomb leader.
In the end, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the eldest sister, I am afraid that I would have become the belly of the tomb leader by now.
We also quickened our pace, but the gun in Butterfly's hand was never put away, and no one was sure if there would be another tomb inside.
I began to wonder who this tomb belonged to, in a snow-capped mountain like Kunlun Mountain, such a huge mausoleum was built, and a group of tomb leaders were kept in captivity.
Fortunately, I didn't encounter the tomb for a long distance this time, but the tunnel was intimidatingly long, and I couldn't help but recall the situation that my second brother and I encountered in the six-finger tomb.
Our eyes are blinded by the phantom silkworm eggs, and we have been spinning in place and unable to get out.
We've been walking in this tunnel for a long, long time now, but there's still no sign of getting out, and I can't help but wonder if we've encountered that kind of phantom silkworm again?
I told Master Cao about my conjecture, and Master Cao shook his head lightly: "This is unlikely, after all, the phantom silkworm was a Gu insect unique to Xiangxi at that time, and the temperature in the Kunlun Mountains was very low, so it was impossible for them to survive." ”
"Then why haven't we gone out yet, we have already entered the ancient tomb, which ancient tomb will have such a long tomb road?"
"Third Master Qiu, you have to treat this tomb as a different kind of tomb, don't be surprised if you encounter anything in it...... Because it can exist in this snow-capped mountain, it is a strange thing. ”
I was a little speechless, but the eldest sister didn't say anything, and it didn't make sense for me to say more as a rookie.
After all, they are the most experienced people, whether it is in inverted buckets or archaeology.
Gradually, the tunnel, which resembles a cemetery, begins to slope, and the slope grows larger and larger, until eventually the tunnel becomes a visible slope to the naked eye.
After walking less than 200 meters along the slope, I finally heard the sound of the wind howling in front of me, and finally came to the end.
Butterfly and Wen Nan exchanged places, Wen Nan walked to the front with cold fireworks and walked out first, but only took a step, I saw him stunned, standing at the entrance of the cave for a long time.
Realizing that something was wrong, the eldest sister motioned for us to stop, and Butterfly walked forward with her gun raised, and then I noticed that she was also stunned at the end of the tunnel.
"Shhh..... The two of them weren't afraid they had seen something shocking enough. Master Cao smacked his lips, and the eldest sister also understood, and our group hurriedly rushed up.
When I saw the scene outside the tunnel, I finally understood why Fumio and the butterfly were stunned.
The scene in front of us would shatter the psychological defenses of anyone who saw it with their own eyes, and the tunnel we were in was surrounded by at least five or six, indicating that we were not the only one with the entrance to this place.
In front of the tunnel were nine iron cables, each of which was connected to a huge stone platform in front of it, and there were at least twenty or thirty of these stone platforms, each of which was previously connected by iron cables.
The gap between the stone platforms is an abyss that can not be seen at a glance, but there is a faint blue light in the middle of this abyss, which is very similar to the inner flame color of a flame, which is extremely strange.
This visual impact made me associate this place with hell.
"it...... I'm afraid this isn't the tomb of Lord Yama, right? I exclaimed, this spectacle and eerie scene, I hardly translated it into French, and could only describe it with the words I could think of.
Many years later, when I think back to the original scene, I still feel shocked, no less shocked than the first time I saw a real dragon statue.
It's all a miracle!
The eldest sister's indifferent personality was also shocked by this scene, revealing an incredible look in her eyes.
"This is really a genius, what kind of person can build such a project in Kunlun Mountain, that is, these independent stone platforms will take a lot of manpower to be placed in modern times."
Fumio's usual smile was replaced by seriousness, because these iron ropes were not for us to step on between us, and we had to use auxiliary tools to get through it with great difficulty.
This is no better than when we were in Wulong Mountain, and the iron cable on the snake valley at least had a wooden plank to make a foundation, and we could step on it directly, but it was just crumbling.
On the other side of the stone platform is a recessed oval terrain, but the light of the orchid in this abyss cannot reach that side, it is too dark to see what is at the end without looking closely.
Master Cao glanced at the faint blue light and said, "It's all ghost fire down here, I heard an old man say before that this kind of ghost fire has a very low ignition point, and it can only be seen with the naked eye when it gathers in a large group, and it is very light and can float in the air." Once it burns, there's almost no way to extinguish ......"
Wen Nan nodded: "Well, these iron cables may also be contaminated with ghost fire, once we accidentally get contaminated with invisible flames floating in the air when we pass by, we will be burned by the fire immediately." ”
I frowned, if that's the case, there's almost no way we'll be able to get past here, because a big move will get the hell fire.
However, the eldest sister seemed to have expected this, and he beckoned to the guy who had taken the imitation of May Fourth, and he took off the mountaineering bag on his back with understanding, and took out three or four fireproof cloths from it.
"Eldest sister, how did you know that there would be this kind of fire here, and you actually prepared a fireproof cloth in advance?"
"I never go to a tomb without preparation, and I will definitely make all preparations before I come."
The eldest sister said this, and then put one on herself, gave me another one, and finally gave the remaining two fireproof cloths to Master Cao and Wen Nan respectively.
After I draped it over my body, Butterfly took the rope out of her bag, and she wet her shoes with water, and immediately jumped on top of the rope as thick as her thighs, and spread her hands out to balance her body.
One end of the rope was placed on our side, and the other guy pulled out a piat and nailed it to the rock wall behind us, then tied the rope to death.
It took ten minutes for the butterfly to reach the nearest stone platform, then secured the other end of the rope and beckoned to us.
Fumian took out a long iron wire, which looked soft, and he cut a piece of the fireproof cloth and put it on it, and then hung the wire on the previous rope.
The wire was covered with a fireproof cloth, and he grabbed it and jumped down, his whole body hanging in the air, and I was shocked to see it.
However, it only took tens of seconds for him to slip on the end of the stone platform, and the butterfly pulled him up with her hands.
Then we did the same, following the example of the man who slid down to the stone platform from this side.
