Chapter 170: Finding the Tomb Gate
With the addition of Wang Meng and others, the pressure on our team was suddenly a little lighter, after all, more people are safer and more powerful.
I dragged a few of them past and asked them in detail about the situation and why they were the only ones trapped here.
Wang Meng sighed lightly and pointed to a place in the corner and said to us.
"All the monsters in this tomb have been killed by us, but when we passed through this tomb again, the people of the Li family left a few of us here in order to survive."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Ba beside me with an angry gaze.
"It's your father and your grandfather, their old immortal things, who almost killed all of us here. Because I knew that there were monsters in it, but I exposed several of us to those monsters, just so that we could fill them with a human life, and find a way for them to survive and live. ”
Li Ba was startled by Wang Meng's eyes, and ducked behind me with a shrunken expression, and cautiously poked his head out.
"That's what my dad and my dad did, and it has nothing to do with me. Didn't I myself get almost killed by other monsters in front of me? Brother Meng, don't look at me like that, I'm really afraid. ”
Wang Meng looked at Li Ba's cowardly appearance, and suddenly lost all interest in him, and after snorting coldly, he turned his head and no longer continued to look at him.
I turned my head and looked around the room, just now I didn't see any secret passages and mechanisms here, I don't know how the people of the Li family left this tomb.
After seeing my eyes, Wang Meng suddenly walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and motioned for me to follow him.
The two of them came to the corner, and Wang Meng slapped a wall and said to me.
"I've heard you're very good at cracking the underground crypt mechanism, so look for yourself, that's where they go."
Wang Meng stretched out his hand and drew an arc on the wall, circling a large piece of the position for me. Then he reached out and pointed to the other end.
"At that time, we were dealing with a few monsters on that side, and I clearly saw that those people from the Li family came here to open a door, and then got in. After dealing with these monsters, we also came here to look for the door, but we didn't find anything. Originally, we had planned to retreat and admit it, so we left from here. Unexpectedly, there was a sound outside, and we thought it was another monster, so we each ambushed on the roof, ready to launch a sneak attack. ”
Wang Meng looked back at me with a little apology in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, but in that case, we were all like frightened birds, so no one even took a closer look at who the person was, so they attacked you directly."
I shook my head and didn't take it to heart. In such a dark, clammy underground cavern, they were able to save their lives, which was enough to prove that these people were indeed capable.
Moreover, in this dim underground, anything can happen, and they choose to protect themselves at the first time, and there is no problem.
After briefly communicating with them, I immediately set my eyes on the wall that Wang Meng pointed out for me.
The walls were calm, there were no traces of them, and I walked around the walls, but I never found any traces of artificiality or concealment.
I swirled around the wall in confusion, carefully observing every corner, and when they saw my movements, they stayed silently on the other side, silently not disturbing my observations.
I wandered around the edge of the wall for nearly half an hour, but I never found the so-called mechanism, and finally I could only look up helplessly and see Wang Meng again.
"Are you sure? And not mistakenly? ”
So saying, I began to circle the wall along the rock wall, in a counterclockwise direction to the left, to make a circle around the burial chamber to see if there were any marks on the rest of the wall.
I suspect that maybe it was because of the situation that they lost their cool when dealing with monsters, so maybe they made a mistake in judging the direction.
I believe that the departure of the Li family they saw should not be a hallucination, but a problem with the direction, so they must go to other places to find traces.
Hearing me say this, Wang Meng unconsciously rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. Several of his men also began to scratch their heads, thinking about their memories, trying to find clues to show me the way.
I walked around the edge of the wall in a counterclockwise direction, carefully observing the marks above the wall and trying to find clues about what was possible.
Suddenly, I couldn't help but stop. Because I was in the corner of the east side, I noticed a mark that had been cut with a knife. To be precise, there will be a neat scratch above the wall that will be about a meter above the ground.
The scratch looked like a scratch that had just been scratched on the wall, and there was not even a trace of dust in it, and the scratch was extremely straight and conspicuous above the wall.
I immediately walked over and groped around the walls, obsessively observing the scratch, which was about a meter long, trying to figure out why someone was doing something here.
After seeing my movements, Wang Meng and several others also walked to my side and followed me to observe the marks on the wall.
"We didn't get it down, we were so far away from the wall, and no one had ever slashed it with a sword."
Wang Meng looked at the wall and explained to me where they were at that time.
"And you look at the scratches on this wall, which must be carved here with great force, and it is to be carved here one by one, and you can see that this whole straight line is not consistent to the end, but there are some breaks in the middle, and even the straight line is not completely straight, it must have been carved here with great effort."
Wang Meng said, pointing to the men behind him.
"But at that time, all the attention and energy of the few of us was on those monsters, and we were all fighting monsters. No one approached the wall, and no one had carved any traces above the wall, so it should have been left by the Li family's group. ”
I nodded, presumably the scratch on the top of the wall was a very important clue, but I still haven't been able to find out what this thing is being carved for.
In order to avoid slipping through the cracks, I took a few of them around the tomb again, carefully searching every corner above the wall for any other traces.
This time, however, we found nothing, and there was no trace of the other edges of the walls here. All eyes were on that long scratch.
"Looks like that's the problem."
None of us were moving, but we all huddled in front of the wall, carefully observing the scratches.
At the same time, I also looked back at the location that Wang Meng pointed out to me just now, that is, the wall where he said that the Li family opened the door.
The two walls are opposite, or they are completely opposite, and the walls are extremely flat and there is no other trace of them.
They were directly opposite, and I couldn't help but wonder why the position above the wall was so symmetrical.
I took a breath and quickly walked over to the smooth wall that Wang Meng had pointed out to me, and reached out to grope for it carefully.
It was then that I had a vague feeling that something was not right, because the wall was so smooth to the touch, or rather it was completely different from the other rough stone walls around it.
The walls here are flat, with traces of artificial carving and polishing on the surface, and they are self-contained, which can be described as a huge flat stone brick.
I walked over to the place where the knife had scratched me and looked around carefully, but just as I was looking closely at the wall. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from behind me, and then Wang Meng and a few of them quickly raised their daggers and straddled behind us.
"Be careful, we two deal with those guys."
I was stunned and looked behind me. I saw a faint white mist in our air, which obscured our vision, and faintly, there seemed to be a blurred figure approaching in our direction in the fog.
I took a confused breath and immediately beckoned them to stop, watching the approaching figures cautiously and shouting at them.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
However, the figures continued to move closer to us, without making any sound, as if they were silently approaching us.
I couldn't help but raise my voice and continue to question these things, but I still didn't get a response from them.
At this time, these black shadows were about to gradually approach us, Wang Meng could no longer suppress them, and shouted at the people under his hands.
The members of their entire group quickly dispatched and immediately rushed towards those black shadows, but the moment they slashed at these black shadows, their eyes quickly condensed, and their eyebrows also showed some doubts.
However, in the next second, one of them was suddenly pierced through the chest by a black claw from the mist, and the man screamed, and the next second he was dragged into the fog and disappeared.
"Come back, don't go over."
Visibility here is so poor that we will not gain the slightest benefit from continuing to fight against these things, and we may lose more people, so the best thing to do now is to observe and then find a way to act.
