Chapter 503 You said this is... a mausoleum? (4700 words)

However, things were not as easy as the two imagined.

This door cannot be pushed open at all.

Although Xu Xin's strength is not comparable to Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao, he still uses potions to strengthen it every day.

But this door cannot be pushed at all.

Not even a tiny bit will do.

If more force was needed to push it away, then he should be able to push it at least a few points, but now he can't push it at all.

"This door should be opened with a mechanism." Xu Xin frowned.

"Machine... mechanism?" Lou Fei'er rolled her eyes slightly, then looked around and lamented, "No..."

The surrounding area is covered with bugs, and it is not easy to find the mechanism.

She really didn't want to fiddle with these bugs anymore...

"Keke, can you feel where the mechanism is?" Xu Xin turned to ask Keke who was lying on his shoulder.

"Huh." Coco shook her little head to express that she didn't know.

"Keke doesn't even know..." Lou Fei'er became even more tired.

"Then let's just kill all these bugs." Xu Xin looked around and said.

"Kill me? What are you going to do...?" Before Lou Fei'er could finish her words, she saw Xu Xin taking out a mutated vine from her backpack and said suddenly, "You want to set fire to it?"

It can be done outside, and it can be done down here as well.

It may take some time to kill these insects, after all, the speed of crawlers is not as fast as that of flying insects.

But there is no need for them to clear the area, as long as the insects are not so dense.

Xu Xin walked to the center of the pothole site and lit the mutated vines.

The mutated vine instantly ignited a fire nearly three meters high, and it instantly reached the top of Xu Xin's head.

"Wow, this fire is burning so fiercely!" Lou Feier exclaimed.

Xu Xin also subconsciously took two steps back.

The fire on the ground has never been so fierce!

Why does the underground fire burn so fiercely?

The light instantly illuminated the entire underground pit.

Immediately, all the bugs in the pit were attracted by the fire and rushed toward the fire!

They didn't even care about the insect repellent on Xu Xin and Lou Fei'er, and gathered towards the fire!

"Ah! Xu Xin! Xu Xin, the bugs are going to crawl on me!" Lou Fei'er, who was unambiguous in her fight against the mutant giant bugs as big as vehicles underground, screamed loudly in fear because of these small bugs.

Got up.

She took out the spray and sprayed it around her.

However, nothing can stop these insects from pursuing the light.

"嘤!" It could be seen that the bug was about to crawl onto Xu Xin's body, so he also cried, "嘤嘤嘤!"

Xu Xin immediately hugged Lou Fei'er, kicked off her feet, jumped on the spot, and jumped to the top of the statue's head.

At this time, all the bugs on the sculpture have been attracted by the light, and the bugs on the ground no longer crawl up, so the place is temporarily safe.

Lou Fei'er kicked off the bugs that had crawled on her shoes and legs, then sat directly on the statue, complaining with a trembling voice: "Oh my god, I'm most afraid of these little things. If these things...

Climbing into my clothes, I really want to die..."

That kind of scene, let alone her, even Xu Xin couldn't accept it.

"Okay, everything is safe now, let's take a look around."

"Well..." Lou Feier stood up and observed her surroundings.

The bugs were swarming towards the bonfire in large numbers as fast as they could.

The bonfire lit by the mutated vines was not afraid of the insect swarm at all. The insect swarm that jumped into the fire not only failed to stop the flames, but made it burn even more fiercely!

The flames directly jumped five or six meters into the air, illuminating the entire underground pit even brighter!

On the ground around the human-faced statue, bugs were swarming towards the bonfire in waves, but there were also waves of bugs coming from further away.

However, on the stone wall of the pit, the insect swarm that had originally covered the stone wall for more than ten meters was slowly descending.

It won't be long before the stone wall is completely exposed.

"Look around carefully!"

"okay!"

…

Zeng Tao felt bored.

She talks a lot, but Jin Yue talks very little and basically doesn't talk much.

She just accidentally asked Jin Yue, "Hey, do you have any special experiences in this world? Tell me about it."

Then she herself knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she fell silent.

Jin Yue's special experience was so special.

What was she asking?

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, she immediately looked around the low-rise building, even the corners and crevices.

But there is really nothing in this stone building.

This is a very, very simple stone house, without even any trace of use, as if this is what it looked like when it was first built.

"What on earth is this place used for..." Zeng Tao was speechless, "Is this an underground wonder built by the ancient emperors of this world? Just for the sake of beauty? Who on earth can be so idle? The wonder is built underground.

, are you afraid that others will see it?"

Hearing Zeng Tao's complaints, Jin Yue's eyes suddenly moved.

"A magnificent building underground, are you afraid of being seen?" she murmured to herself.

"That's right!" Zeng Tao came to the door again and listened to the chirping of insects outside, "Hey, those insects haven't left yet... How long do we have to wait..."

Jin Yue looked at Shimen, thinking about everything.

"You said... this underground world, could it be someone's... mausoleum?" Jin Yue suddenly said.

"Ah?" Zeng Tao turned around and looked at her, "What... a tomb?"

"Yeah, mausoleum." Jin Yue nodded.

"...Haha, no way?" Zeng Tao suddenly felt a little creepy, "Don't scare me. Aren't mausoleums all underground pits? How could anyone turn a mausoleum into an underground city? What's wrong with this?

Does it make sense?”

"No, in ancient my country, although this kind of thing was not common, it did happen." Jin Yue thought about it, "The emperor's tomb."

"Emperor...Emperor's mausoleum?" Zeng Tao's eyes widened.

"The most famous among them is probably... the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is the mausoleum of the first emperor in Chinese history. It is also the first large-scale and well-designed imperial mausoleum in Chinese history.

This mausoleum covers an area of ​​more than 50 square kilometers, which is more than 80,000 acres of land, 50 million square meters. The area is so huge that it even exceeds the area of ​​a county in many cities today and is the size of more than a hundred Vatican City.

!

According to historical records, various palaces were built in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and many strange treasures were displayed.

Around the imperial mausoleum, there are a large number of burial pits and tombs of different shapes and connotations. More than 400 of them have been discovered, including the well-known terracotta warriors and horses.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is one of the largest, most unique, and richest imperial tombs on earth. Compared to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the area of ​​the underground city they now see pales in comparison.

Of course, the area here is also very large.

From the edge to the palace in the center, it is estimated that the distance is close to two kilometers. In other words, the length of one side of this square underground area is about four kilometers, and the estimated area is about fifteen or sixteen square kilometers.

It's also very big.

Moreover, this is a large space located entirely underground. In terms of construction difficulty, I am afraid that modern people may not be able to build such a stable underground space with a height of several tens of meters.

It is still made entirely of stone slabs, without any metal.

After listening to Jin Yue's explanation, Zeng Tao also lost her voice. She swallowed and said, "No... this isn't really an underground tomb, is it? From what you said, it seems very possible!

Everything here has never been used. It seems that after it was built, it was buried deep underground and never saw the light of day again... And this very decent city..."

The more she talked, the more excited she became, and the little fear she had about the underground mausoleum disappeared without a trace: "Look at the size of this city, does it restore the capital of an ancient empire in the world? Then this mausoleum

The owner must be a super big shot! Such a big shot must be buried with a lot of things! If we can find it..."

"That will definitely make you rich! There must be a lot of good things!" Zeng Tao suddenly stopped being as irritable and unmotivated as before. Instead, his eyes lit up, "That palace in the middle! There must be good things in that stone palace!"

"Don't get excited, this is just a guess of mine." Jin Yue poured cold water on her, "It's not confirmed yet that this is an underground tomb, it just looks a bit like it. Moreover, what we should consider now is the group of people outside.

insect."

But Zeng Tao was already in a state of mind, and she walked around the room: "Let's go to that palace quickly! That guy Qin Fu might be here too, and he might already be in that palace! Go!

It was too late, he had already explored the palace!

"...Did you listen to what I said..." Jin Yue looked at her helplessly, "We can't get out now. And even if we can get there, you can't run around. If this is really a mausoleum

If so, there must be a mechanism to prevent future generations of tomb robbers. Exploration is not an easy task and may be life-threatening."

"Well... indeed." Zeng Tao's head also cooled down, and then he sighed, "Hey, tell me, if this is really a mausoleum, then what a powerful person the owner of this mausoleum will be!"

…

Xu Xin and Lou Feier jumped down from the human-faced statue.

There are no more bugs around the statue.

The few bugs left in the pit were mostly gathered around the campfire and would soon be completely wiped out.

"These bugs are easy to deal with." Lou Fei'er glanced at the bonfire and said, "Burn them all in one fire?"

"I don't know who just screamed in fear and made her legs weak." Xu Xin glanced at her and smiled.

"I'm just afraid of bugs, what's wrong!" Lou Fei'er said confidently.

"Okay, let's take a quick look around."

"Oh, okay, lend me the cocoa!" Lou Fei'er took the cocoa off Xu Xin's shoulders and went to look around.

Xu Xin looked at the human-faced statue that he had already explored.

This, a human statue with his face carved on it.

He still felt that the focus should be on this statue.

The other surrounding buildings are in dilapidated condition, but this statue is the only one that is still intact, and it is also a special presence here.

But now, under the light of the fire, its face is clearer.

"..."

Xu Xin took a deep breath.

Seeing his own image carved into such a large statue, with those open eyes staring straight at him, really made him feel a little creepy.

Especially, he doesn't know why there is a statue of him underground!

This is too outrageous!

"Huh?" While checking around the statue, under the light of the fire, his eyes were dazzled by a spot of light on the statue.

He took half a step back, and the light flashed again.

It's reflection.

The firelight was reflected back by something unknown.

That is……

earring?

The position of the earrings!

Xu Xin immediately stepped forward and carefully inspected the huge earrings.

Because the head of this statue is huge, the earrings are also very large, about as thick as his forearm, and the style is a bit weird.

He had already inspected this earring carefully before and found nothing unusual at that time.

That light comes from...

It comes from the inside of the earring, close to the neck!

He immediately stretched his head and looked inside.

Then his eyes opened slightly.

Nothing could be seen in the darkness, but under the light of the fire, the inside of the earrings actually had a piece the size of a fingernail made of transparent glass!

Xu Xin raised her hand and reached out to that location, trying to touch and press it.

But it's of no use.

There is still no introduction triggered.

Not a button?

but……

There must be something wrong with this earring.

He grabbed the earring and pulled down hard.

I can't move. I've tried this before.

He thought for a while, then pushed, pulled, and pressed in all directions, but to no avail.

He tried spinning again.

"Click."

There was a slight sound coming from around.

To his great surprise, the earrings on his hands moved slightly.

"feasible!"

He immediately increased his strength and began to turn the earrings, which were basically strips, with all his strength.

The upper part of the earring remained motionless, but the lower part slowly rotated, forming a thin slit in the middle.

"Boom...boom..."

The ground in the pit began to vibrate as Xu Xin turned!

"嘤?嘤嘤嘤!"

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Lou Fei'er immediately picked up Coco, who was running around on the ground, and quickly returned to Xu Xin's side.

At this time, the earrings in Xu Xin's hands also turned to the end.

"boom!"

A loud sound came from the direction of the stone door they had discovered before.

It was a noise coming from inside the stone door, but the door did not open.

Lou Fei'er immediately ran over, pushed the stone door hard, then turned around and shook her head: "It still doesn't work."

Xu Xin frowned and let go of the earrings in his hands.

"Boom...boom..."

The ground began to shake again, and the earrings were slowly rotating back to their original direction.

...There is another one on the other side!

Xu Xin came to another earring and reached out to turn it.

"Boom...boom...!"

The ground shook even more violently!

it is as expected!

Both earrings should be rotated, but...

The other one will return, it takes two people!

"Come here, let's turn this earring together." Xu Xin said to Lou Fei'er, who was still looking at the door.

"Oh, here it comes!"

Lou Fei'er immediately ran to the other earring and imitated Xu Xin's example, turning it around.

"Boom...! Boom...!"

The ground began to tremble violently.

"Click..."

The sound came from the direction of the stone door. The two of them looked over there and saw that the thick stone door was slowly opening as they turned the earrings in their hands.

"It's open!" Lou Feier said happily.

Finally, the earrings in their hands turned to the end.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and along with dust shaking off the stone door, the stone door opened completely!

Xu Xin tried to let go.

"boom……"

The earrings have been slowly rotating back, and the stone door is also slowly closing.

He immediately grabbed the earrings and frowned.

"It will close when we let go." Lou Fei'er also discovered the clue, "After we let go, the door will slowly close. You can rush in!"

Xu Xin nodded: "I rushed in and the door was closed. Can I still come out?"

"this……"

However, since the doors are open, it is naturally impossible not to enter.

Moreover, he must find out about this stone statue!

Xu Xin looked up at the top of the pothole.

The entrance above the pit is small, but the entrance below is large. The walls slope outward, and the slope even exceeds 90 degrees.

Therefore, if someone who jumps into it does not have an increase in jumping ability like him, it is basically impossible to get out.

Moreover, there is a high temperature of over 40 degrees in this cave. If there is a bonfire, the temperature will be over 50 degrees, which is simply unbearable for normal people.

He also gave up the idea of ​​having someone come over to watch for them.

Forget it, the boat will go straight to the bridge!

"I'll count to three, two, one, let go and rush in together!"

"good!"

"Hey!"

"three."

"two,"

"one!"

"rush!"

The two of them let go together, and amidst the "booming" vibrations on the ground, they quickly rushed towards the stone door twenty meters away, and rushed in before the stone door closed!

"Coming in!"

"boom!"

The two looked back.

The stone door behind him has been completely closed.

It seems that they have only one way forward now.
Chapter completed!
