Lao Itch motioned Wu Xiaoxie to follow him and climbed down. Wu Xiaoxie thought about it and thought it should be feasible. It is estimated that Lao Itch fell directly into the pit and then climbed up along the bronze chain.
There are unknown dangers looming above, so the only solution for now is to go down.
The sacrificial platform embedded in the bronze tree top in this coffin room is about two meters long. There is nothing in the middle. It may be a multi-layer built-in coffin method like the Warring States Period. There may be a depression in the middle of this coffin room, called the coffin.
Well, the coffin that actually contains the body should be directly underneath, but I don’t know how deep the coffin well is.
The hyphae wrapped around and parasitic on the bronze chain contained water, and when I held it with my hand and squeezed it all out, it mixed with the smooth and moist moss, making it as slippery as oil. Wu Xiaoxie almost slid and stopped.
Use a dagger to jam the holes between the chains to maintain the stability of the body.
After sliding for more than ten meters, I caught up with Lao Chu. The two of them had already entered the interior of the coffin well and the trunk of the bronze tree.
Lao Itch turned on his flashlight and looked down. The fog here was much thinner, and he could basically see clearly that the same cloud and thunder patterns were engraved on the inside of the bronze tree as on the outside.
The bronze chain went all the way down, and Wu Xiaoxie looked around, trying to see how big the coffin shaft was.
The coffin well is rectangular, four meters long and two meters wide. You can touch the inner wall with your hands, and it is more than enough to hold the coffin.
The further you go down, the more pungent the smell in the coffin becomes, and it's weird beyond description. After taking a few breaths, you feel a numbing, needle-pricking pain in your throat.
The smell is poisonous, but the only equipment they have is no gas masks.
Wu Xiaoxie wanted to back out for the umpteenth time, but Lao Itch seemed to feel no pain, and would not stop at all, as if he was possessed, and did not know what was attracting him.
Wu Xiaoxie cursed silently and continued to climb down while holding his breath.
The coffin shaft was bottomless, like a bottomless pit. Wu Xiaoxie even doubted whether it went all the way to the bottom of the bronze tree. The distance they climbed up along the trunk from the outside was more than three hundred meters. If the bronze tree climbed from top to bottom,
Empty intestines, if that’s really the case, that would be a shame.
He didn't have the courage to go back alone to deal with the things above. He could only follow the light of Lao Itch's flashlight to judge the distance. Fortunately, Lao Itch's grandson knew to stop and wait for him after climbing a while.
Wu Xiaoxie was cursing, when the "thump thump thump" sound came out again!
Surprisingly, the sound didn't come from above. Looking at the unfathomable darkness under his feet, Wu Xiaoxie screamed in his heart, what's down here must be that ghost's lair, he's going to die this time
It’s decided.
But Lao Chu only paused slightly when he heard the sound, then turned a blind eye and continued to climb down.
Wu Xiaoxie's face turned green with anger, he stared, and he had already greeted the eighteen generations of his ancestors in his heart.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Wu Xiaoxie felt as if the bronze chain in his hand was vibrating with the rhythm of the sound, as if something was climbing up along the chain towards him.
An endless chill suddenly surged into his heart. Wu Xiaoxie smiled bitterly and murmured: "Old Itch, you are really going to kill me this time."
Lao Itch crawled for a while and realized that Wu Xiaoxie was not following, so he stopped and waved his flashlight upward, signaling for him to follow quickly.
