Chapter 1167 The most primitive elevator principle
Speaking of which, this is not the first time that Jin An has borrowed a corpse to bring back a soul.
The first time was in the Laughing Corpse Village deep in the desert of the Western Regions.
Jin An walked behind the tomb robber for a while. Suddenly, he heard noise coming from the end of the corridor, as if there was something going on in front of him.
Jin An's expression changed, because he heard the rumbling noise in the corridor getting louder and louder, and it seemed that it was approaching him.
His first thought was that the group of tomb robbers had touched some mechanism that caused the passage to collapse, and he immediately ran back.
The roaring sound approached very quickly. It was not a collapse of the corridor at all, but the intrusion of underground river water.
The underground river water poured back at a very high speed, like a stormy sea rushing in. The water level rose rapidly. A person's legs could not run through the rapids. Jin'an was swallowed up by the underground river water flowing back into it.
A divine light flickered under the water, and it was Jin An who sacrificed the primordial spirit magic weapon Erlang Zhenjun's water talisman.
The underground river's backflow, which was a disaster for the tomb robbers, turned out to be a miracle in Jin'an's eyes. He ignored the rapids and swam to the end of the corridor like a fish in water, hoping to find out what happened there.
As a result, before the person arrived, he met a logistics worker who was washed away by the underground river. Jin An grabbed the other person's hand and pulled him back to his side. Only then did he realize that the other person had drowned and his stomach was bloated with water.
Seeing this scene, Jin An could only sigh with regret, then let go of the body and continued swimming towards the target alone.
Unexpectedly, the situation along the way was one after another. At this time, several black spots washed out from the depths of the corridor and rushed toward him quickly.
Upon closer inspection, the so-called black spots turned out to be human corpses wrapped tightly in sacks.
At this time, the insect eggs in these corpses were nourished, and a large number of man-eating poisonous insects emerged, spreading out like dark clouds and rushing toward Jin'an.
The poisonous insects this time were not those highly poisonous centipedes, but poisonous insects like large leeches, each about half the size of a palm.
These leeches are black and shiny, and they are extremely poisonous at first glance. Even if they are bitten, they will have to peel off their skin.
Jin An, who came out with the water talisman ordered by Lord Erlang, did not touch the man-eating leeches at all in the water. Several big waves rolled up the black and overwhelming man-eating leeches, and they were easily beaten to death.
When Jin An successfully swam to the end of the corridor, he discovered that there was an underground cave, and there was a Bagua stone plate in the underground cave.
Those tomb robbers did not know which mechanism of the Bagua Stone Plate was touched. The Bagua Stone Plate slowly rotated in circles, making a clanging sound of gears.
And every time the Bagua Stone Disk rotates, the Bagua Stone Disk sinks once. One of the stones on the stone disk stands like a sea-fixing needle, and the thick stone pillar holding up the top of the cave also descends once, opening the cave on the top of the cave.
, a large amount of underground river water poured in.
The cave was so big that it was filled with underground river water in a short time. Jin'an hadn't found the tomb robbers who had been washed away. As the Bagua stone plate sank to a certain depth, boom!
The Bagua Stone Pan suddenly fell and disappeared from sight, revealing a dark cave that was even larger than the top of the cave. It was like a ghost cave swallowing the human world. The underground river water formed a violent whirlpool, and the water level in the cave dropped rapidly.
This is a clever mechanism. First, the tomb robbers are drowned by pouring water. Even if the tomb robbers do not die, they will die later due to man-eating leeches and ghost hole suction. The interlocking links put people in a desperate situation.
Jin An could even imagine that after three catastrophes, the group of tomb robbers might be in danger.
The only exception is Jin'an.
This whirlpool of water has no effect at all on the water talisman of Erlang Zhenjun that has been sealed eleven times.
When the underground river water no longer pours into the cave above, and when the underground river water in the cave recedes and the cave is exposed again, only Jin An exists in the entire underground space. The group of tomb robbers were all sucked into the ghost cave by the torrent, and they do not know whether they are alive or dead.
.
Snap.
Snap.
Jin An stepped on some small puddles and walked to the entrance of the ghost cave. He lowered his head and looked down. He saw a dark, unfathomable depth. Then he looked up at the cave above his head. The underground river water had dried up and there was no longer any new underground river water flowing in.
"It seems that the underground river above the head is not the main stream, but a tributary dug by humans to divert water. If it really encounters the underground river, even if the underground tomb is filled, it may not be able to drain it dry." Jin An whispered in a deep voice.
Next, he began to look for other ways out of the cave. If he couldn't find a way out, he could only jump into the ghost cave and have a free fall to see if there was another cave below.
I didn't find a new way out, but I found several burial pits in the cave. The dead people in the burial pits died in the same way as the corpses I encountered before. They were all wrapped tightly in sacks, which probably meant to seal a dead body.
The human soul will always stay to protect its master and live in darkness.
These dead people in the burial pits have another thing in common, that is, their bellies were exploded from the inside out, and all their internal organs were sacrificed to the man-eating leeches.
In addition to the burial pits, corpses were also found in other places one after another. They were all washed out by the underground river water that just poured in.
Jin'anjian Karst Cave is very airtight, without a single mountain crevice, it can drown all tomb robbers like catching turtles in an urn.
So Jin An, who couldn't find a new way out, came to the entrance of the ghost cave again. At this time, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and he could still hear that the mechanism of the Bagua Stone Plate was still operating. It seemed that it had not settled to the bottom and was still sinking.
The working principle of this Bagua stone plate made Jin An subconsciously think of elevators.
Jin An stood at the entrance of the cave without thinking for too long. He jumped into the ghost cave and followed the Bagua Stone Plate. He was curious about where the Bagua Stone Plate would end up if it was so deep down here.
This original elevator, which was raised and lowered by water pressure, aroused his strong curiosity and interest.
It was pitch dark in the cave, and people in the darkness would easily have the illusion of time and space being disordered, and their concept of time would be blurred. Perhaps it was a matter of a long time, or maybe it was just a matter of seconds. Jin An successfully landed on the Bagua Stone Plate.
Bang!
Katcha! Katcha!
The huge impact of landing caused the leg bone to fracture, and two sharp bone spurs pierced the skin. Liu Guang had died a long time ago and had no pain. Liu Guang, who was possessed by Jin An, pressed the leg bone spurs back under the skin with an expressionless face.
It does not affect physical mobility at all.
After reattaching the broken bones, Jin An found that the eight-stranded stone plate under his feet was still sinking.
"Is it so deep down here? It seems that the group of tomb robbers is already in danger. Only the man named Xu San has the best chance of survival, and the deputy leader can also be counted as one." Jin An said in slight surprise.
Finally, with a loud noise, the Bagua Stone Plate fell to the ground, but the surroundings were too dark, and there were no torches as lighting objects. It was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly what was in this underground space for a while.
