Chapter 181: The Hind Hand in the Ruins

"Even if this place is in ruins, you still think there will be a lot of hidden traps here, right?"

Facing the ruin scene in front of her, Jiang Yingxue also seemed to really realize what Bai Ning meant by the danger lurking.

Just two burial chambers can make such a huge noise, and you say that the designers of the mausoleum would not have set up some tricks in the ruins, and now that you say it, basically no one will believe it.

Facts speak louder than words, especially when it comes to the cruel truth of one's own life!

Bai Ning just didn't answer this kind of knowingly asked topic, staring at the ruins in front of him calmly, as if looking for ideas for follow-up exploration.

Liu Cheng felt that he couldn't help much at this time, so he could only silently follow Professor Huang's side, wanting to see what this university scholar wanted to do.

But in the face of some broken bricks and arrows, Liu Cheng couldn't understand it very much, so he could only stand aside without knowing how to understand, and prove his participation with body language.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at these iron arrows, and their arrows are also etched with demon patterns."

Professor Huang asked Liu Cheng to smash a cracked stone open, pulled out several iron arrows inside, and completely confirmed the special shape on the arrows.

Bai Ning looked for prestige, and he was also a little puzzled by the demon pattern on the arrow.

According to the general means of killing, the poison is applied to the arrowhead in order to increase the killing effect, and the pattern can be etched on the arrow, which is a bit strange.

Unless, such a pattern has a certain symbolic meaning.

Combined with the demon tomb they are currently in, this special arrow must have been carefully prepared for tomb robbers.

If this is the case, then there should be other invisible scourges hidden in the Iron Arrow, in addition to the demon icon.

This calamity seems to be able to be popularized as a curse.

"Don't touch the iron arrow, and handle it with care, there may be a virus in it"

Bai Ning let out a low snort, startling that the people around him who were about to come forward to see the excitement were stunned.

"What, is there a problem with the Iron Arrow?"

Liu Cheng, who was closest to him, instinctively asked, and his legs trembled in fright in Bai Ning's cold expression.

Not for anything else, just because Bai Ning's prediction of danger is too accurate, there have been no major problems so far.

Bai Ning said that there is a problem, then there must be a problem.

Regarding the possibility of the virus, Jiang Yingxue also vaguely guessed something, waved her hand, and motioned for several personnel wearing biochemical protective suits to come close and check.

The dispatch of biochemical personnel made the atmosphere in the field more solemn, and some people subconsciously slowed down the pace of breathing, for fear of inhaling something deadly.

He took the iron arrow in Professor Huang's hand and examined it, but found no hidden pores or cavities in the arrow or shaft.

While it may not be possible to prove that the arrows did not contain chemical or biological weapons, at least the arrows are safe.

"Boss Bai's speculation about the virus is very reasonable, but I do have some new opinions on the demon icons on these arrows.

The demon patterns on these iron arrows are somewhat different from the demon reliefs on the previous stone bars.

The previous demon relief was a tiger-toothed leopard tail, with the main characteristics of the Western Queen Mother clan, but the demon pattern on these iron arrows has a flame pattern, like an unknown fire-type fierce beast.

"Mozi Guiyi" records: The emperor killed the green dragon in the east with Jia and B, killed the red dragon in the south with Bingding, killed the white dragon in the west with Gengxin, and killed the black dragon in the north with non-dean.

A and B wood, the green dragon is a wood beast, the iron arrow belongs to gold, Jin Kemu, these iron arrows are used to kill the green dragon.

As for why the demon pattern on it has a fire pattern, I don't know for the time being.

As far as the overall situation is concerned, if the Blue Dragon Seven Residences in the Stone Forest was a symbol of the tester, now the arrow array here wants to kill the Green Dragon, isn't it a very contradictory thing? ”

Professor Huang gave a certain interpretation of the Qinglong allusion and clarified the mutual restraint relationship between gold and wood, but it is clear that this is only a one-sided interpretation, as it does not involve the fire demon pattern on the arrow.

"Jin Kemu, wood can make fire, according to this understanding, the green dragon who dies here will become the nourishment of the entire mausoleum.

According to this understanding, is it a subtle telling us that even if it is a qualified interloper who comes here, it will still die.

Especially for those who are good at being opportunistic, their death is even more inevitable.

Their death will not only make the mausoleum safer, but also a disguised warning for future trespassers.

This holistic understanding seems to be able to conform to the overall assumption that wood makes fire. ”

Jiang Yingxue combined all the guessing directions she had mastered before to make a comprehensive expansion of the current flame pattern demon.

Her assumption was logically coherent and there was no problem, but it was not correspondingly affirmed by Bai Ning.

At this time, Bai Ning had already taken the iron arrow that Professor Huang was holding just now, and carefully examined the entire iron arrow again.

Aside from the flame pattern ghost icon on the arrow, this iron arrow is no different from the iron arrow in the upper chamber.

If what exists here is a batch of ordinary iron arrows, then the explanation that Jiang Yingxue associated with the mutual restraint of gold, wood and fire is very reasonable.

But was it just to shoot a shower of arrows to carry out such a great deal of sabotage?

According to the trap design style of the mausoleum designer, it is impossible not to hide some vicious backhand in such a large-scale, one-time act of destruction.

You know, if this area is destroyed, it will be completely destroyed.

If you want this area to still have a certain deterrence, then there is a high probability that it is not a physical deterrent.

The most likely of these is a stealth biochemical threat.

If the deceased can bring more concrete benefits to the mausoleum, in addition to serving as a warning, the best use is to cultivate the virus.

In other words, the so-called wood fire refers to the secondary outbreak process of the virus!

"There is nothing wrong with the overall conjecture that Jin Ke wood, wood makes fire.

The problem lies in the analysis of wood fire, and the role of dead corpses as a warning threat to the future is completely dispensable for some outlaws.

Therefore, such an analysis is in the wrong direction.

The most likely is the biochemical possibility, that is, the effect of the corpse on the multiplication of germs.

It is difficult to estimate how long the germs can survive through a corpse in a cold environment, and how much damage it will cause when it eventually breaks out.

Based on this overall speculation, I think that there are probably some poisonous arrows mixed with this batch of iron arrows. ”

Bai Ning pulled the topic back to the category of viruses, and the direction of his explanation sounded more profound than Jiang Yingxue's analysis.

Moreover, they had already talked about the plague properties that the demon reliefs might represent, and they also had a certain consensus on the fact that the mausoleum contained viruses, so they couldn't refute it at all.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the whole group became even more dreary.

In addition, the air duct will be destroyed, and the temperature here will gradually warm up over time, and the virus that has been cryopreserved will be quickly activated and spread along the transpiration of water vapor or the humid environment in the tomb.

"Now that most of the arrows are embedded in the stone walls, it's completely impossible to pull them out and check them one by one, do we need to give up the advance here?"

Faced with this secret room that may be poisonous, Jiang Yingxue also seemed a little unwilling.

Giving up halfway will not only make all previous efforts in vain, but no one can guarantee that there will be no virus crisis again in the next process.

"The current temperature is still extremely low, and we only need to hang a layer of ice on the surface of the iron arrow to temporarily stop the leakage of the broken virus container.

In addition, the previous air duct was not so easy to break.

Even if there is a certain risk of continuing to dig in the direction of the wind duct, such a risk is much better than indulging in the continuous heating up here. ”

Bai Ning's suggestion made everyone's eyes shine, the low temperature environment also has the benefit of a low temperature environment, as long as the ancient viruses that have been frozen in the ice for thousands of years are not thawed, then they will not be able to harm them.

After receiving the order, the people outside quickly brought in a large amount of mineral water, and the water dripped into ice in the burial chamber, which had been blowing cold for a long time, and soon all the iron arrows were hung with a layer of ice.

The virus crisis was temporarily lifted, and everyone soon cleaned up all the collapsed and broken stones and iron tools to a corner of the tomb and piled them up, beware of contamination with some viruses.

The person in charge of demolishing the wall had just punched a hole in the wall when a dull crashing sound came from inside the wall.

After so many rounds of arrow rain, everyone's first reaction was that there were also a large number of bed crossbows on the other side of the wall.

At this time, the vibration of the borehole stimulated the bed crossbow on the other side of the wall, and if the drilling continued, it was likely that there would be another round of ten thousand arrows.

How many people will die in the end depends entirely on the will of God.

"Install a set of directional blasting."

Bai Ning didn't want to gamble on anything, so he gave a neat order, and the others quickly moved to the upper tomb.

After a while, with a dull continuous blasting sound, the previously muffled wall fell to the ground, but there was no strong impact of iron arrows raining down again.

Someone looked down and found that there wasn't any bed crossbow on the other side of the wall, and the source of the dull crashing sound was just a boulder in the next burial chamber.

The size of the monolith is about two-thirds of the volume of the burial chamber, and there is still a partial metal lock on the top of the burial chamber, which proves that the monolith was once suspended.

Incomprehensible burial chamber layout.

A boulder was placed in the middle of the small burial chamber, and it was also suspended from the ceiling by the mechanism, and there was a frenzied rain of arrows from dozens or hundreds of bed crossbows before, but it did not let it fall naturally, and now it was just a moment of lightning on the wall, and the boulder fell in response.

So, what is the special meaning of this boulder that suddenly fell to the ground?
