Chapter 31: The Botanical Garden

Strictly speaking, those terracotta soldiers were supposed to be a kind of puppet mechanism.

When Miao Miao and Xing Li moved the lid of the coffin, they touched the mechanism, and the terracotta soldiers wanted to protect the sarcophagus before they launched an attack in a fixed direction.

After all, terracotta puppet soldiers are dead, and people are alive.

"Be careful!"

When Xiao Yu reminded him, Miao Miao and Xing Li seemed to have expected it, they just turned sideways slightly, and after standing at a very tricky angle, the weapon of the terracotta soldier fell short.

The process can be regarded as thrilling.

The mechanical chopping movements made by the terracotta puppet soldiers are fixed, and they are also fixed in relation to the direction in which they are standing.

As long as that angle is calculated and effectively evaded, the mechanical attack of this puppet mechanism will not play a big role, and it can only be regarded as a surprise setting.

Xing Li experimented, as long as he opened the coffin at a few fixed points, the puppet mechanism would attack.

So he and Miaomiao would avoid a few positions, and then push hard, and the coffin lid was slowly pushed open with a "click".

At this time, Xiao Yu held his breath and raised his crossbow vigilantly, his eyes firmly locked on the movement in the sarcophagus.

The bodyguards also raised their guns and aimed, ready to attack the zongzi drilled out of the sarcophagus at any time.

When the lid of the coffin was completely opened, Xiao Yu and the others stared at the boss, all wanting to see what the legendary zongzi looked like.

If he can't do it, Xiao Yu thinks it's better to run away.

However, after the coffin lid was opened, Xiao Yu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any zongzi suddenly jumping out.

When he saw Xing Li and Miaomiao's usual expressions, he dared to get closer, but saw that there was nothing in the sarcophagus, and it was actually empty.

It's just that there was still a "rustling" sound in the coffin in the silence, which startled Xiao Yu.

After Xing Li illuminated that location with a miner's lamp, Xiao Yu saw that there was a big rat hiding there, gnawing at the pile of blood that was running down the stone wall in the inner corner of the coffin, and it was almost dry.

There is a gap at the bottom of the sarcophagus, and there are also traces of opening.

Xing Li avoided the puppet's attack, jumped into the sarcophagus, felt a pull ring in a pit in the corner, and then pulled hard, and the stone slab was pulled apart, revealing a hole under the sarcophagus.

After measuring the cave with an instrument and signaling that there was no danger, Miao Miao let Xiao Yu and the three of them go down first, and when she went down last, she covered the sarcophagus by the way.

The dampness in the tunnel down is very heavy, giving people a damp and cold feeling.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, the surrounding cave walls were covered with a kind of purple moss, Xing Li reminded not to touch it, that thing was poisonous, and several people were more careful.

The further they went, the heavier the dampness became, and as they descended the steps to the bottom, they were covered with stagnant water, occasionally bubbling up, and at least to the knees, and they had to drip through it.

"After entering the water, you must follow my steps, don't panic if you find anything abnormal, remember?"

After Xing Li reminded a few people, after asking everyone to put on leg covers, he went into the water first and walked slowly with the water.

The equipment Xiao Yu was wearing was waterproof, but after he got into the water, he still felt a cold seeping in, which made him shiver.

Just halfway through, Xiao Yu felt a little pain in his legs, as if he was caught by some pliers, but he didn't react when he saw that the people in front and behind him, but he couldn't help but calm himself down and continued to follow Xing Li forward.

Crash!

It wasn't until he walked ten meters and walked through the waterlogged area to a step up to leave the water that Xiao Yu's eyes widened and he saw dozens of leech-like soft creatures hanging from Xing Li's legs.

Looking at his legs, there are also dozens of soft creatures hanging from them.

The mollusc clinged to their legs, stabbing his legs and gear with his mouthparts, and was on the verge of piercing.

Apparently, it was a kind of soft-bodied creature that could suck blood, but luckily they were equipped and wore tough leg covers, otherwise they would have been sucked dry by the blood of that thing.

Xiao Yu was shocked when he saw it, and quickly took off the leg sleeve and threw it into the water, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that all of a sudden, he couldn't help but feel an intuition.

It wasn't that he felt the warning of danger, but that the spiritual energy in his soul universe would have a slight fluctuating effect.

Miao Miao looked at the map and said, "Half a little further on, there are a few small houses, and in the past is the back garden of the ancient tomb where Lao He had an accident, there are many plants and unknown creatures in it, and we will officially enter the main tomb area!" ”

Next, several people slowly moved forward more cautiously.

The passage here twists and turns, and the further you go, the more you can see plants that grow densely in the dark without sunlight.

However, according to the fragments of the plants on the ground in front of them, it can be seen that it has been opened up by people, and Xiao Yu and the others only need to follow the footprints of the predecessors.

After ten minutes, the group finally walked through the end of the passage and saw that there were several stone houses built there.

These stone houses have no doors or windows, and there are no other ornaments except for a strangely shaped stone statue in the center of the house, let alone any antique objects.

When Xing Li explored the footprints in the stone room, there was nothing unusual.

But after Xiao Yu entered a stone house, he suddenly felt a faint energy fluctuation surging around.

Xiao Yu couldn't determine where the source of this energy fluctuation was, and when he wanted to use the soul universe to emit spiritual energy to sense, that fluctuation suddenly disappeared.

At this time, one of the bodyguards took out a gas helmet from his backpack and handed it to Xiao Yu to ask him to put it on, and the others took the same measures.

Put on a gas mask, walk through the stone house, and then come to the garden.

Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, I saw that all kinds of unknown plants and plants grew in this garden.

In particular, a kind of vine that Xiao Yu saw exuded a rancid smell, but it grew the most lush and strong in such an environment, which was very weird.

Miao Miao said: "This is a carrion vine, which is specially devoured and absorbed by absorbing all kinds of carrion to absorb nutrients for growth, you must pay attention when you go forward, be careful not to be entangled by it!" ”

Since this is the back garden of the tomb owner, there are many criss-crossing paths in it, but due to the age, some plants are connected in series to cover the road, so it has to be more cautious and slow to reopen.

However, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

The periphery of this botanical garden has been carved out by the people who came in front of them several ready-made paths, and Xiao Yu and the others continued to explore the surroundings along those paths.

When the group came to the middle of this garden, Xiao Yu suddenly sensed something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the northeast corner of the garden.

It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, but Xiao Yu suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes silently observing and watching him in the dark, which made him a little uneasy.

After Miao Miao saw Xiao Yu's strange appearance, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm a little upset, it feels like there's someone watching us......"

Miaomiao followed the direction of the northeast corner shown by Xiao Yu, took out the map and compared it, frowned slightly, and said: "That place is where Lao He had an accident, and there is no follow-up to this map to this garden, it seems that we will have to be more cautious and cautious later......"

"Ahh

However, before Miao Miao's words fell, he was interrupted by an exclamation.

Xiao Yu heard the exclamation from one of his bodyguards, and couldn't help frowning and looking there, but his face also changed.
