Chapter 175: The sarcophagus
I don't understand what Hu Erye is saying.
After seeing Team Zhao and the three of them kowtow, they pulled out a few iron rods from their trouser legs, which seemed to be specially used to pry things.
They shoved iron rods into the cracks in the lid of the sarcophagus, and then shouted a slogan with both arms.
"——"
With a rumbling sound, they pried open a gap in the lid of the sarcophagus.
Team Zhao waved his hand, asked them to stop for a while, shone a torch at the gap, followed the firelight, moved his gaze to the gap, looked at it for a while, and then beckoned the other two people to help open the coffin.
Looks like he's already made up his mind.
The three of them took out the iron rod again and pried the sarcophagus open little by little, and the heavy sarcophagus lid was cocked back and forth by them several times, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
Team Zhao didn't even have time to catch their breath, so they immediately leaned over to look at the contents of the coffin.
Suddenly, almost at the same time, the three of them let out a ghostly cry, and one fell to the ground, and at the same time the torch was taken off from his hand, and all of them sat there trembling with their faces as dead ashes.
I instinctively glanced at Hu Erye, but found that I couldn't see my five fingers, and I couldn't see it at all, so I had to remain silent to see what was going on with the three of them.
Team Zhao and the others talked nonsense for a while, and then they began to kowtow on the ground non-stop, they used a lot of force, and I could hear it very clearly.
Through the torches on the ground, I could clearly see that their foreheads were bleeding.
This went on for a long time, and later, I gradually felt that they didn't seem to be kowtowing and begging for mercy.
I lowered my voice and asked Hu Erye what to do?
If you don't stop them, if they continue like this, they will really die.
Second Master Hu probably felt that something was wrong, so he let me stay here alone, and he went up to see what was going on first.
In front of Team Zhao, Hu Erye held the old sleeve, aimed at the direction of his head, and shouted to Team Zhao, the strange thing is that Team Zhao seemed to not hear him, and kowtowed to the ground desperately.
Hu Erye hesitated for a moment, so he put a gun against his back and told him not to move, but it still had no effect.
This shouldn't be a pretended reaction, generally speaking, no matter what is on a person's back, they will subconsciously stir up, but Team Zhao is like a dead person, and he doesn't feel it at all.
Hu Erye felt strange, and hurriedly retreated into the shadows, holding the old sleeve from a distance, aiming at Team Zhao's body, as if he wanted to get down.
I hurried up and stopped him.
Hu Erye said that they are no longer human beings, and they must be killed now, otherwise, the two of us will not survive.
I don't know why, I always feel that I will kill people like this, which is not right, so I persuaded Hu Erye to stop.
While the two of us were arguing, all of a sudden, the torches on the ground, and the candle in the southeast corner of the sarcophagus, turned dark green with a fan.
The entire cave immediately changed color, and my and Hu Erye's faces were shrouded in green light, and at first glance, it was as if we had seen a ghost.
Team Zhao's expressions were also extremely weird, they straightened up suddenly, and circled in place, I don't know what they were looking at, I saw their eyes, they really looked like evil ghosts in hell, eerie and terrifying, with two eyes straight hooked, and the corners of their mouths had an evil smile.
Hu Erye and I were almost silent at the same time, looking at the three of them, we didn't dare to gasp.
Team Zhao and the others turned around a few times, and suddenly lowered their bodies, and their heads hit the sarcophagus, with great strength, and we couldn't stop it if we wanted to.
Then, two of his men, one after the other, crashed to death on the sarcophagus.
Before I could be surprised, I saw that the sarcophagus lid on the ground had somehow been re-covered by itself.
The boom scared me and Hu Erye.
The moment the sarcophagus was closed, the flames in the cave returned to their original color, and nothing seemed to have changed on the ground except for a pile of corpses.
My heart was beating so hard that I couldn't say a word, and Hu Erye was so shocked that he couldn't do it, I saw that he was even white, and he was in a cold sweat, ticking down his beard.
We stood there for a few moments before we came to our senses.
Hu Erye stared at the sarcophagus and saw that it was not moving, so he told me that Team Zhao was actually a tomb robber, and the candles they lit in the southeast corner were a ritual used by tomb robbers.
I asked him what was going on with the sarcophagus, and why did Team Zhao turn it like that after they glanced at the contents of the sarcophagus?
Hu Erye also said that he didn't know, anyway, this thing is a bit evil.
He shone the torch in the other direction and said, "The treasures there are gone." ”
When I looked at it, it was true, all the gold objects on the ground were gone in the blink of an eye, and there was not a single one left!
Obviously, it couldn't have been someone who had taken it away, no one could have taken so much gold so quietly and so quickly, but what was going on?
I'm really scared this time, I used to hear some stories about something mysterious in the world, but this time, I saw it with my own eyes, and this has happened more than once, and many things have happened too weirdly.
Second Master Hu beckoned me to leave here quickly.
I asked him how he got there, and if he knew the exit, he would go from there.
Hu Erye shook his head helplessly, and told me that after he fought with the earth rat above, he found that there was a fire in the mountain stream under his feet, and he heard me scream before, so he thought that I was below.
So, I got some rattan and other things, and climbed down the cliff wall to get here.
There is no doubt that Hu Erye is also the same as me, it is okay to go down, and if you want to go up again, it is even more difficult.
Speaking of which, Hu Erye was also lucky, he just landed on the stone platform outside for less than a second, and the rattan on the cliff wall was cut off by the earth rats that came up from behind.
Now we have to find another way out of here.
We packed up the necessary things, Hu Erye couldn't help but glance at the sarcophagus, I quickly blocked his sight back, for fear of any more accidents, picked up the torch, and the candle on the ground, and looked for the direction in which Zhao team they just came.
If Team Zhao came up from the ground, then there must be an exit to the bottom in that direction.
We cautiously walked over there, and after looking for a while, we found a little light, which seemed to be reflected by something, and I took a torch and went up to take a look, and it turned out that there was a man lying on his stomach in that place, and it seemed that he was dead.
Hu Erye asked me to step back, so I went up with the old sleeve to check it.
That person was indeed dead, and my first reaction was that this person might be Team Xie, so I asked Hu Erye to turn over the corpse to take a look.
The moment the corpse turned over, my scalp was also numb, and this feeling continued to the heels!
The corpse lying on the ground turned out to be Zhao Daqing, Deputy Captain Zhao!
Not far from him, a heavy sarcophagus was impressively placed......
