Chapter Seventy-One: The Demon Beast in the Coffin
Zhang Jiande seemed to come back to his senses at this time, he held the pistol and gently poked the woman's thigh, and then retracted like lightning.
My muscles tensed all over my body, and I stared at the woman in the coffin, preventing her from suddenly opening her eyes and attacking us.
But what I saw was the elastic skin, and the woman, still with her eyes closed, lay motionless in the coffin, like a patient who had been anesthetized and was waiting for surgery.
I'm just at ease!
"Look! Her hands and feet are chained! Seeing that the woman was not moving, Wang Haiyang seemed to be bolder, and leaned into the coffin to take a closer look.
After he reminded me of this, I also noticed that the woman's hands and feet were indeed wearing iron chains, but the black iron chains were about the same color as the rotten clothes, and it was not easy to be found for a while.
"It's a fortune!! I'm really rich now! Zhang Jiande was so excited that he put away the pistol, holding the sapper shovel and about to shovel the burial goods in the coffin!
"Qingyang! Go and lift her mask! Ye Lingwen whispered behind me.
"That's right! How did I forget the mask! The black market price of this mask can be worth 10 million! Zhang Jiande heard Lingwen's words, and was so excited that he went to lift the mask.
Before Wang Haiyang and I could stop it, he had already lifted the mask, but when I saw the face behind the golden mask, I only felt a chill hit my whole body, and my legs were weak and I almost didn't stand firm.
Even Zhang Jiande exclaimed, and the mask in his hand fell into the coffin.
And Ye Lingwen behind me was so frightened that he cried!
I didn't bother to comfort her at this time, because I was trembling myself.
What I saw was not a human face at all, what the mask covered was actually a tiger head, which means that the person lying in the coffin was not a woman at all, it was really a monster with a human body and a tiger head!
The four of us, gathered around the coffin, did not dare to move, for fear of waking up this monster that seemed to be sleeping! But after a long time, the monster did not move, its eyes were always closed, as if it were asleep!
I dared to take a closer look, the tiger head should be a tiger cub from the size and appearance, its eyes are closed, yellow, black and white fluff, in the light of the headlamp is still shiny, there is no trace of decay! A crooked king character on the forehead is clearly visible, and if you don't look at the body, it is clearly a little tiger that is napping.
At this time, the shock and fear in my heart are really indescribable, is there really such a monster in the world? Tiger head human body!
Looking at this strange monster, I suddenly thought of the Queen Mother of the West that Grile had talked about on the way here! Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West is the body of a tiger, and according to Ge Rile's analysis, the ruins of Kunlun are the Qilian Mountains.
Looking at the incorruptible appearance of her corpse, it seems that she has really mastered the method of immortality! But King Zhou Mu's taste will be so heavy, will he fall in love with such a monster?!
And what does she have to do with Ye Lingwen's father and daughter? Why is there a jade pendant in her mausoleum that is exactly the same as Ye Guangci?
Just when I was distracted, Ye Lingwen and Wang Haiyang suddenly screamed in unison, I was startled, and saw that Zhang Jiande had already thrown a bundle of ignited detonators into the coffin, it seemed that he was also scared enough, and he didn't even want the burial goods in the coffin, he was going to blow up this monster.
It's too late for me to stop it, in a hurry, I grabbed Ye Lingwen and pressed her to the ground, only to hear a loud noise, the gravel on the roof of the cave fell one after another, I felt thrown into the air by a wave of air, and then fell heavily on the ground, almost rolled under the boulder, and the spirit pattern was also thrown into the distance by the wave of air. Half of the flesh and blood of the tiger's head fell in front of me, and by this time the tiger's eyes had opened and its mouth was open!
I shuddered: this monster is really alive! It was an explosion that woke it up! Fortunately, Zhang Jiande blew it up! Otherwise, we really have to face such a living monster with a human body and a tiger's head!
I stumbled to my feet, walked over to help Ye Lingwen up, and saw that she was pale and didn't say a word, and I could feel her whole body trembling.
"Are you alright?!" I was afraid that she would be hurt and asked hurriedly.
Ye Lingwen didn't speak, he shook his head at me, and I was relieved!
At this time, Wang Haiyang and Zhang Jiande also got up from the ground, I looked at the coffin again, it had been blown apart, the stumps of the monster and the burial goods fell all over the ground, what I didn't expect was that under the violent vibration, the huge stone arch carved on the cave wall actually opened a gap, it turned out that the stone arch was not carved on the mountain, but really a huge stone door.
Zhang Jiande said while picking up the artifact in the flesh and blood on the ground: "Lao Tzu said it! Lao Tzu has guns and cannons! No one is afraid! ”
"What's the use of you picking up the and we can't get out?" Wang Haiyang scolded.
Wang Haiyang's words made me feel anxious again when I had just relaxed a little, how can we get out of this underground cave deep into the mountainside? The monster's coffin is placed here just for secrecy, maybe there is no exit here at all!
"What now?" Wang Haiyang asked.
Zhang Jiande suddenly raised his head, and he couldn't see his expression behind the gas mask, so he heard him say calmly: "Then I won't go out!" ”
I suddenly heard him say this, and suddenly remembered what Wang Haiyang said to me, and I couldn't help but feel nervous in my heart, and secretly thought: Why does Zhang Jiande wear a gas mask all the time, isn't he too cumbersome?
I was about to ask him to take off his gas mask, when Wang Haiyang suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Listen! What is this sound? ”
I didn't care about studying Zhang Jiande anymore, so I hurriedly listened carefully, because I knew that there should be no living creatures in this cave deep underground!
Sure enough, I heard a croaking sound not far away, and it sounded like countless bees buzzing and flapping their wings.
I shone my flashlight into the darkness, and I saw that in the mud under the boulder, large and small black shadows were jumping and moving towards this direction.
"What the is this?!" I knew something was wrong and asked Wang Haiyang.
Wang Haiyang wore a headlamp, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and then he shouted: "This is a corpse toad!" ”
"Corpse toad?!" The first time I heard this name, I knew that it was definitely not a good thing to have a corpse in the name, and I couldn't help but ask, "What is it?" Is it toxic? ”
Wang Haiyang said while unloading his backpack and rummaging: "Of course it's poisonous!" I encountered it in an ancient tomb in Guangxi before and almost died.
Ordinary toads feed on insects, while corpse toads feed on the carrion of humans or animals. It looks like there are a lot of corpses in this cave! Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to feed so many corpses! When these corpse toads have no food, whether it is winter or summer, they will be in a dormant state, and they will not die without food for several years, it seems that the explosion just now woke up the dormant corpse toads in the swamp! ”
