Volume 1 Chapter 3: Tomb Slayer
I only stayed in the air for a second or two, and then fell heavily to the ground. I estimated that the height was almost six or seven meters. The fall made me feel like my whole body was falling apart, and my brain was buzzing.
My whole tail bone felt like it was broken, and I felt like I wanted to vomit blood. Fortunately, there was a lot of soil underground. If I had fallen directly onto the concrete floor, I would have been killed immediately.
I got up lying on my stomach and quickly picked up the flashlight that had fallen aside, because in this environment of absolute darkness, losing the light source would create an indescribable sense of fear in people's hearts.
I picked up the flashlight and shined it above my head, and found an irregular hole. It didn't look like a hole made by a robber, but more like something had been blown up, because there were traces of fire around the hole.
I couldn't hear the movement above the cave at all down here. I tried shouting Dawu twice, but there was no response.
My heart went cold for the most part. The monster was invulnerable and bullets hit its body without any damage. I guess Dawu and the others were in danger.
Anyway, Dawu and the others have no close relationship with me, and life and death don’t have much impact on me. But now that there are no more knowledgeable people among them, the chance of me walking out of this tomb is almost zero, and I begin to regret that I had to talk to Dawu.
Let's fight this together.
But I was very confused about what I had just encountered. We had been walking in a straight line when we came here, so why did the road we came back on turned into a wall when I turned back.
Although I heard from my father and others that there are strange mechanisms in many ancient tombs, and the tomb chambers will change instantly, but many of the mechanisms have basically lost their original functions after hundreds of years.
Even if it didn't malfunction, it couldn't have changed silently under our noses, leaving several of us unaware at all.
Another possibility is that you encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
But logically speaking, a ghost building a wall would trap us in a place without any exit. We would just cycle back and forth, but how could there be a hole in the ground?
I took a few tentative steps forward with a flashlight, and found that the layout here was completely different from the place where I had just fallen. It was no longer just a one-way tomb passage, but there was an arched doorway on the left and right sides. It was pitch black, I don't know.
Where does it lead.
I don’t know much about the structure of the tomb, but I know that it is theoretically impossible to exist where I am. ??? How can a tomb be built with two floors and separated by a height of six or seven meters, unless it is very
An underground palace tomb as big as an imperial mausoleum, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a scale.
There are strange murals on the tomb wall, but I have no time to look at them. I just want to leave here as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the monster will kill Dawu and the others later and jump down along the entrance of the cave. By then, I will be unarmed and ready to be slaughtered.
Lamb.
I chose the arch on the left to go in, and found another very long tomb passage. I vaguely heard the intrusive grinding of teeth just now, and quickly accelerated my steps to walk deeper into the tomb passage.
I didn’t know how long I had been walking, and I felt a little thirsty. Only then did I realize a serious problem. I didn’t carry anything on my back when I came down.
The food and water were all carried on the backs of those guys, which meant that if I didn't leave this strange tomb within the limited time, even if I wasn't killed by the monster just now, I would still die of thirst or starvation!
Realizing this, I was so frightened that I started to break into a cold sweat. I even started to jog, but as I walked, I noticed something was wrong. The tomb passage became narrower and narrower, and I finally had to walk forward with difficulty against the wall.
In fact, I am a bit claustrophobic. I am so scared of the small space around me that I can almost lose my breath.
Fortunately, this tomb passage was not a dead end. After walking for nearly twenty minutes, I finally walked out of this tomb passage, and a new tomb chamber appeared in front of me.
I found a few cans on the ground. I picked them up and looked at them. I found that there were still oil stains inside, which meant that the cans had been thrown here not long ago.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was probably left by my second brother and his group!
This also just shows that Dawu did not find the second brother and the others in the tomb before. It may be because the second brother and the others arrived in this cave, and Dawu went down from the robbery hole that the second brother and the others made and did not find the way to this cave. .
I don't have the time to think about this at the moment. The top priority is either to find an exit or to find my second brother first. For a novice like me who has never been to a tomb, it's like waiting to die here.
The tomb I am in now is very big, and the flashlight can only illuminate a little bit. I am afraid that a ghost face will suddenly appear in the darkness. Such a sudden face will definitely scare me to death.
This seems to be an ear chamber. I saw many jars in the tomb. From my observation, these are completely worthless and are just ordinary burial objects.
Apart from these jars, there was also a pit that was not deep. I stepped forward and took a flashlight to shine a light on it. There were several scattered skeletons inside, which made my scalp numb.
Unsurprisingly, these people should all be buried with them, but since ancient times there have been tombs with burials, and the owner of the tomb was either rich or noble. It is very likely that this tomb is the tomb of a certain prince.
I don't have much research on ancient tombs, so I can't tell which dynasty this tomb belongs to based on this.
I walked around the burial pit and walked forward, and found a new tomb door. I saw a unique mark on this tomb door.
I was overjoyed. This is a mark that only our Zhang family can understand. This must be the mark left by Da Wu’s second brother. But because I have been in prison for a long time, I don’t often recall these things. Time has passed. After a long time, I couldn't quite understand the mark, but after thinking for a moment, I immediately entered this new tomb passage with a flashlight.
This is my only hope to find my second brother.
This time, I vaguely heard the sound, and the silent tomb was finally no longer silent. I concluded that the second brother Ba Cheng was in front, not far from me!
I walked forward at a trot. This tomb passage was not as long as before. I walked for only a few minutes before I reached the end and saw the light other than my flashlight.
In extreme fear, I was so excited when I saw this light that I almost cried. I wanted to shout my second brother's name directly, but I resisted the urge, turned off my flashlight, and walked forward slowly. ??Because of what happened before, I am already afraid of the ancient tomb, fearing that it is not my second brother and the others.
Monsters like that could be seen before, what else could happen? I walked out of the tomb passage and walked into a new tomb chamber. I found five or six people standing in the middle of the tomb chamber, surrounding a coffin. forward.
These people were carrying large bags and had blood stains on their bodies. There was also an old man with a stooped back. I looked at each person's face carefully, looking for the one I hadn't seen in five years.
A familiar face, I quickly found my second brother!
The second brother said to a fat man on the side: "Master Cao, are you sure this coffin cannot be opened? According to my rules, there is no coffin that cannot be opened!"
The fat man on the side called Master Cao said: "Absolutely not. You saw the tomb-suppressing beast outside just now with your own eyes. It is guarding the tomb... Generally speaking, the tomb-suppressing beast is usually just a stone carving.
It came out and was placed in front of the tomb door. But the one we met just now was a living tomb-suppressing beast. I once read in an ancient book that the tomb-suppressing beast can be refined through secret methods, but the refining process requires a lot of
It is an extremely yang thing, so the tomb-suppressing beast will exude a lot of yang energy at first... Over time, the corpse of the tomb owner will not rot and dry out, but will emit the yang energy. The tomb owner will absorb the yang energy, and the corpse will
If the yin and yang are out of balance, it will turn into an existence even more ferocious than a bloody corpse... Therefore, this coffin must never be opened!"
The tomb-suppressing beast that Master Cao mentioned was most likely the humanoid monster that Dawu and I encountered just now.
The second brother frowned, obviously not wanting to let go of the coffin.
"Second Master, I know you are unwilling to kill so many brothers, but this tomb is really weird. It is obviously not the tomb of a prince or general, but it has the same layout as an emperor's underground palace... I suggest that we think about it first
You have to go out and come back after taking the guy, even if the king of heaven is in this coffin, I will be shot."
Master Cao suggested.
Listening to the conversation between my second brother and Mr. Cao, I felt relieved and on guard, and was about to go there. I subconsciously looked up and glanced up, it didn't matter if I didn't look at it, this glance almost scared me out of my mind.
All of them were looking at the coffin attentively, and no one paid any attention to the top of the tomb.
There was something that looked like a crocodile crawling on the top of the tomb. Its body was covered with scales, but it also had arms and legs. It had a very thin body. Its head was about the size of three basketballs. Its eyeballs were protruding and bloodshot. It looked disgusting and disgusting.
Scared, like a hanged man!
This was even scarier than the tomb-suppressing beast just now. It stared directly at the second brother and his group below, ready to jump at any time.
I wanted to remind my second brother and the others, but I was afraid of disturbing the monster.
Just when I didn't know whether to get closer or stay here to observe, I felt a little cold around my neck. I shivered and touched my neck with my hand. It turned out that there was a strange liquid on my neck, which was very slippery and radiating.
A disgusting stench.
I stiffened up and turned my head back with a stiff neck. Fortunately, there was nothing behind me. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my head again. The scene in front of me will never be forgotten in my life.
The thing that was just above the heads of the second brother and the others, I don’t know when it climbed to the top of my head. It hung from the ceiling of the tomb by its tail, and its huge eyes were no more than three centimeters away from my face, staring straight at me.
I subconsciously opened my mouth to shout, but unexpectedly a bloody hand behind me covered my mouth. I whimpered twice and turned around to see Dawu's side face.
