Chapter 505: The Mysterious Bone Tomb
An hour before Alice fell unconscious, in the gold mining village.
"Overseers. ”
"Captain, what's the matter?"
Niru Wei said: "The bone wall has been dug up, and the people below say that there is a discovery. ”
"Oh!" Shank threw the female slave in his arms to the ground, "Take me to see it." By the way, call Saxon and Brocken. ”
"The two lieutenants have already sent someone to inform them. ”
Half an hour later, Overseer Shank arrived at the gold field with Lieutenant Niru and two lieutenants: "Where was it dug up?"
"Underneath Cave 11. The soldier said.
"Go down. ”
Entering Mine 11, Ke asked as he walked, "What did you find after digging through the bone wall?"
"A skeleton was found. ”
"Is this a discovery?" Brocken casually kicked the broken bones scattered on the ground, "Isn't this place full of people?"
The soldier said, "No, I mean the bone wall is a burial chamber, as if it was specially designed to bury the bones of the corpse in the middle. ”
Several people were surprised.
The soldier said: "I saw when we dug into the hole, and the bone wall was not one side, but a semi-circular enclosed space, whether it was around, on the top of the head or on the ground, all of which were covered with countless broken bones, and in the middle of a bone platform lay a very complete skeleton, so I felt like a burial chamber." ”
"A burial chamber made of countless human bones, is this weishenme?" said Overseer Shank, puzzled.
Saxon said: "What could be the reason. ”
"What could be the reason?" said the rough-voiced Brocken, "I think it may be some kind of witchcraft ritual by some barbarian tribe in ancient times." Isn't there still such a primitive tribe in some places? It may be that the king of some tribe died and made such a grave, or there was a rule in the tribe that when someone died, they would be piled together. ”
Saxon thought for a moment and nodded, "It's not impossible. Many of these bones are fossilized, and none of us could have figured out what it was like thousands of years ago. ”
Shanke said: "Don't guess, you can go to the tomb and take a closer look to find out what's going on." Soldier, you say, what else did you find?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "No, I just looked inside for a while, and then I came out immediately to report to the captain." And ......"
"And what?"
The soldier said, "I always felt weird in that burial chamber, and I felt creepy and chills down my spine. ”
Brocken Daxiao said, "It's you who are scared. ”
The soldier laughed dryly: "Also...... Maybe yes, hehe. ”
At this time, Niru Lieutenant, who had been silent since he came in, suddenly said, "Don't you think something is wrong?"
"Something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Saxon asked.
"First of all, I don't think it's just an ancient tribal burial chamber, don't forget that there are strange stones around this bone wall burial chamber, and now we are still dying every day, this must have something to do with this burial chamber. ”
When they heard this, they were silent.
Niru Wei said: "Also, this burial chamber is going to be buried in this place? It must be deliberate to use so many dead people's bones and bury them in such a deep place. But if he really didn't want to be discovered by others, he should be buried in an ordinary deep mountain forest, but now he is buried between two layers of gold veins, and sooner or later someone will dig up and find out. On the other hand, if he deliberately chose to bury himself here, then what did he do by doing so?
As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts moved, and they involuntarily stopped and looked at Captain Niru.
Saxon said: "If this is the case, if the owner of the tomb wants to be discovered, he will still make so many strange and terrible things, use so many bones, and make the people die here every day." It seems that all of this is to prevent tomb robbery now, and if he really wants to be discovered, he shouldn't have done so much, otherwise he won't be afraid to scare others away, and he won't dare to come here again?"
"Have we been scared away?" said Niru Lieutenant to Saxon's speechlessness: "Far from being frightened away, we have aroused our curiosity to find out." ”
Broken said, "You say that, he deliberately led us to dig up his grave?"
"It's not that I'm saying that, it's the current situation that makes people think so. Niru Lieutenant said.
Overseer Shank thought for a moment and said, "You have a point. ”
The soldier next to him trembled with fright when he heard what his superiors said: "Then that and that we can't get in?" It's no wonder that he is afraid of trembling, this tomb must have something to do with the dead, and now it is like the owner of the tomb is guiding them step by step into the trap.
"Useless thing!" Overseer Shank slapped him in the face, "Is the soldier I brought with me a waste like you? With me here, do you still need to be afraid? No matter what will be in there, whatever will happen, I will deal with it, what should be afraid is this broken bone that has been dead for so long and is still pretending to be a ghost." ”
A bone on the ground was shattered by his trampling.
The mine is deep and the roads are complicated, so it's easy to get lost here if you don't work here for a long time.
When they came to the dug bone wall, the soldiers stood guard at the entrance of the cave with torches or spar lamps. Captain Niru looked into the dark bone cavern and felt a cool breeze blowing, but in fact the flames on the torches held by the soldiers were steady, and they were not swaying by the wind.
Shank glanced at the soldiers, kicked the soldiers in front of him away, and snatched a torch to lead the way inside.
Saxon waved his hand and called a few soldiers to follow him into the bone cave.
Under the light of the fire, he saw that the hole dug out of the bone wall was more than 100 meters thick, and Brocken couldn't help but say, "How many people do you have to build such a bone wall?"
"At least 100,000 people. Niru Lieutenant said.
"Hundreds of thousands! Damn, so far we have opened the mine in this mining area, and so many people have not died. ”
The bone hole is not dug horizontally, but diagonally downward. When he reached the edge of the inner wall of the bone cave, Saxon pushed the light magic crystal in his hand to the brightest and looked into the cave, and found that he was above this tomb.
This burial chamber is very large, and the hedron light cannot shine on the whole situation in the burial chamber, let alone how deep it is. Overseer Shank threw the torch down in his hand, only to see it grow smaller and smaller, and it was only a few seconds before the sound of the stick falling to the ground. ,
"It seems to be one or two hundred meters deep. Saxon said.
"No matter how deep it is, I can't fall to death. Brocken was the first to jump after saying that.
Shanke, Saxon, Captain Niru, and several accompanying soldiers also jumped down one after another.
The ground beneath the burial chamber was flat, but it was also covered with human bones. As the soldier said, the burial chamber space was semicircular, like half a sphere.
Several people took a spar torch and took a picture of it, and the space in the tomb was large but empty, and there was nothing but the bones of the white flowers.
"Hey, sprinkle...... Saxon. Brocken turned around and whispered to Saxon's side, "Do you feel a little uncomfortable?" ”
Saxon laughed: "Will Lord Brocken be scared too?"
"Who...... Who said I was scared!Hmph, would I be scared?" Brocken said boldly.
"Seriously. Saxon touched his neck uncomfortably: "I really feel very uncomfortable here, I don't know what's going on, it's very depressing." ”
"You feel it, too. ”
"Overseers. Captain Niru held the hedron and came to the bone platform that the soldier had spoken of.
This ossuary is two meters high, about seven meters long and five meters wide, and is built in the shape of a trapezoidal tower. The bone platform was very flat, and there was a dark red blanket, which had long since decayed due to time, but it had not completely decayed.
Overseer Shank came over and jumped onto the bone platform, on which lay a very complete skeleton.
"What kind of man is this, he is going to be buried here?" Brocken and Saxon also jumped onto the bone platform, which was very strong, and did not collapse with the three of them.
Among the three, the magician Saxon was the tallest, and the tall man of two meters and five meters was a little shorter than the skeleton on the blanket.
"It doesn't matter who he is, Saxon, it's that he causes our soldiers and miners to die constantly, damn, look at Lao Tzu smashed him, maybe this 'curse' of death will disappear. Broken picked up the big stick in his hand and was about to smash it.
