In the dark night, I can't see my fingers.
Although the cave is full of potholes, it doesn't take much effort to walk.
The forest was deep and shallow, and after walking for more than a hundred steps, I suddenly felt that the surroundings became gloomy, a cold wind blew through me, and the road under my feet was much smoother.
He knew that he was leaving the robbery cave and entering the tomb passage.
The pace gradually slows down, the tomb passage is naturally different from the robbery cave, and the risk factor is greatly increased.
After all, the cave was dug by tomb robbers, and the tomb passage was left by the tomb builders. There may be various mechanisms, and this thing is absolutely impossible to guard against.
None of the three waves of people who entered earlier came out. Who knows whether they died at the hands of zombies or under the trap of the machine.
He, Lin Shan, is no better than the five younger brothers outside Wu Yuan. He has a good knowledge and expertise. He robs tombs every day, so he naturally has experience in dealing with the agencies.
Thinking of this, Lin Shan regretted a little. He had known that he would have brought those five people over to visit the grave together.
However, I still have Brother Chicken.
Lin Shan patted the cage on his waist,
Brother Chicken: "Oh...oh?"
…
After walking about two hundred steps, Lin Shan, using the weak light from the fire, saw a pile of corpses in front of him, and immediately stopped vigilantly.
In order to see more clearly, I moved carefully step by step, and finally saw clearly that almost all of the corpses had arrows stuck in them, and most of them were rotten and smelly.
Lin Shan observed carefully for a while, but could not tell what kind of clothes the deceased was wearing or what kind of power he came from. After all, there were blood stains on the walls and ground of the tomb passage.
Lin Shan took down the cage, opened the wire door, and took out the rooster that was shivering in the cold wind of the tomb passage.
Slowly, I tied a rope around the rooster's legs and loosened it. Seeing how uncomfortable it was, I also removed the strip of cloth from its mouth.
The rooster was also very sensible at this time, and did not crow or walk around. It seemed that it was very reluctant to be free, and instead clung to the forest and mountains.
"Whoosh~"
The cold wind blew in waves, and looking at the dark and gloomy tomb passage ahead, it seemed like an endless abyss, eager to devour anyone.
"Go ahead, there is your favorite sorghum rice in front of you."
Lin Shan has a harmonious look.
Brother Chicken was unmoved.
"Go ahead, there are young pullets waiting for you!"
Instead, Brother Ji leaned closer to him.
"boom!"
Lin Shan kicked him out.
All that was left was chicken feathers.
Brother Chicken was exploring the way sadly in front.
…
The rope was getting longer and longer, and Lin Shan could feel the rooster still walking in.
"Are the arrows in these people's heads not traps? Did I guess wrong?"
Just when he couldn't help but doubt, the rooster in front suddenly screamed "Ooooooo"! At the same time, the scalp-numbing "soooooooo" sounds could be heard endlessly!
Lin Shan quickly shrank his head, and by the light of the fire, he could faintly see arrows ahead like locusts, fierce wind and rain, densely packed, and a black shadow jumping around in it.
After three breaths, the tomb passage became quiet again.
…
Lin Shan's back was covered with cold sweat. If it were him, he would probably be shot into a sieve.
I was frightened for a while, and then secretly sighed that something was wrong. The mechanism had been tried, but what was the next step?
Gone...
Before he could finish thinking about it, the rope in his hand suddenly moved, and a black figure jumped towards him in front of him.
"Oh oh oh!"
Lin Shan: "..."
None of this is dead?
Lin Shan passed the fire fold forward again, and it was indeed the rooster just now! Different from usual, the chicken feathers were almost bare, which made it even more miserable.
Lin Shan felt excited and drove the rooster to explore the road again.
"Boohoo!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Sure enough, at the same place just now, the arrow rain came as promised, and the noisy cock crow could not be heard.
It’s no different from the first time. Brother Chicken sang and danced and was still alive and well!
As expected of Brother Chicken! Lin Shan secretly gave a thumbs up!
After trying a few times, the mechanism no longer triggered, most likely because the arrow rain was exhausted.
In this way, a chicken led a person and walked slowly through the gloomy tomb passage.
…
"Huhu~"
The deeper into the tomb, the colder wind blowing inside became colder and colder. Lin Shan shivered as he held the rope, with goosebumps all over his body.
In the next place we passed, we found two more corpses left behind by our predecessors. It seemed that there were ordinary people who had died from the cold, as well as warriors who had been scratched and bitten to death.
Lin Shan checked with a solemn expression and found that some parts of the body and even the intestines had been taken out.
The scene is extremely cruel!
I'm afraid the people here died at the hands of ancient corpses.
Seeing that they were all dead with their heads facing outwards and their feet facing inwards, Lin Shan couldn't help but secretly guess that these people must have gone deeper, been chased by the ancient corpses inside, and died on the way back to escape.
At this time, Lin Shan already had the answer in his heart and told himself that he could not go any further. The threat of the ancient corpse was already very close at hand!
However, after traveling so far along the way, I have not yet found the antiques that are suspected to have ancient charms. If I return here, my trip will be fruitless.
It made him feel a little unwilling!
Another voice began to rebut. Now that he has entered the tomb passage and taken out some objects of the deceased, he can prove that he has explored the ancient tomb. When he returns to Nightingale, he will be considered to have fulfilled his mission. He is still young and has a lot of time and unlimited possibilities.
There is no need to die!
For a time, in the cold tomb passage, Lin Shan was alone in the battle between heaven and man.
...
After walking for a while in a daze, I suddenly felt a little light-headed.
Lin Shan almost fell down, and then he realized that the cold wind here was chilling to the bone. I really don't know how those tomb robbers got in and out again.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the indirect pain like needles all over his body, Lin Shan took out two more fire sticks from his arms and blew them on. Although he could not withstand the cold, the dim firelight still gave him some comfort.
Unknowingly, the rope in his hand was lost somewhere. As for the rooster, Lin Shan could only hope that it would be lucky.
The tomb passage became wider and wider as it went forward, and was even covered with black moss, which felt fluffy and wet. There were no more corpses or bloodstains on the ground, only a few scattered footprints.
In the silent and gloomy cave, endless darkness seems to be the main theme. I don't know where it leads or how far it is. The future is unknown. It seems like I am gambling with my life, just like the faint fire that is swayed by the wind in the cave.
The light and death are uncertain, and the monsters are strange and strange.
Maybe the danger is at the next moment, maybe this channel will never end.
Finally, after wandering around for an unknown amount of time, at a corner, Lin Shan saw a figure sitting against the wall with the dim light of the fire.
This person's face was blurry, and he had been dead for more than a month to be precise. He was holding a broken sword in his hand, with the front half of the broken sword stuck in his chest, and there was a huge green to black claw mark on his waist.
Lin Shan checked silently, and he was already sure in his heart that the person who died here was probably the first-class master among the three groups of people.
After this person was discovered by the ancient corpse, he immediately defended himself with a horizontal sword, but his weapon was broken directly and he died tragically under his claws. The others fled the same way and still were not spared.
And the other end of this corner is most likely the place where the ancient corpse is hidden!
As for Wu Yuanwai's five younger brothers, the antiques they left behind could only be inside. After all, the road behind them had already been walked by Lin Shan one by one.
so...
To enter or not to enter?
Having come to this point, Lin Shan became firmer and had the determination to make the most of it.
Human nature is like this. When you have a way out, you will definitely hesitate to move forward. When you see a glimmer of hope, you will glow with fighting spirit in the face of adversity!
The brave ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death!
Lin Shan tightened his clothes tightly, slowly pulled out the Huanshou knife, took out the gourd of black dog blood from the bag, and placed it on his waist where it was most accessible.
"The purpose of this trip is the antiques left behind by the five tomb robbers after they saw the ancient corpse. They will not make any extraneous matters or go any further. They will accept the antiques as soon as they are satisfied with them and immediately exit and return to the original route."
Lin Shan secretly warned himself, and at the same time, considering the possibility of an accident, he made a plan in advance.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
"What if the worst happens and we happen to be discovered by an ancient corpse."
"As long as you find an antique with ancient charm in an instant, use the strengthening panel on the knife in your hand to strengthen it into a magical weapon, and then use the black dog's blood to gain the upper hand, there is still a chance. If there are enough ancient charms, the Huanshou Sword can be upgraded to two levels in a row.
..”
Lin Shan kept thinking about every next step of tactics and details in his mind, carefully verifying the possibility of his guess. After going through it in his mind and feeling that there was no problem, he pressed against the wall step by step and slowly approached the corner...
Just when he was about to leave,
"Boom!"
Suddenly a muffled thunder sounded out of thin air, and around the corner ahead, a wave of air suddenly hit!
"Bang!"
Before Lin Shan had time to react, his chest was hit like a heavy object, and he was knocked to the ground. Before he could figure out what was going on, the entire wall in front of the tomb passage shattered!
An underground square the size of a basketball court appeared in front of him.
There are many stone pillars in the square, and each stone pillar has a cold will-o'-the-wisp burning, making the whole square look spooky.
But at this time, the will-o'-the-wisp swayed and dodged under the waves of air, and every time it was about to extinguish, it burned firmly.
The center of the square was filled with dust, and it was hard to see what was going on inside, but deafening thunder continued, and roars could be heard from time to time.
"Cough cough cough..."
Lin Shan lay on the ground with a blank look on his face, coughing up blood. His whole body felt cold and painful. The smoke and dust around him carried the musty smell of ancient tombs for thousands of years, making him almost suffocate.
One second he was thinking about how to face the ancient corpse, and the next second he encountered the aftermath of an unknown fight and was beaten to the ground unable to get up.
"Roar!"
At this time, suddenly a violent roar came from the center of the square, and then after the dense thunder, the body, only half of which was charred, was shot away from the center of the square to the side of Linshan.
Lin Shan turned around and saw that the body was completely black, with green smoke curling up. It had terrifying facial features, sharp and long fangs, palms as big as cattail leaf fans, and long sharp claws...
Everything shows its identity,
"Ancient corpse!"
Before Lin Shan could finish being shocked, an earth-shattering roar came, causing lime to fall from above the entire underground square.
Chapter completed!
