"This should be the burial pit for the craftsmen." After a while, I calmed down. Ye Zichen raised his head and saw that this tunnel was dozens of meters long, and was made up of more than 20 slabs of stone. If there are corpses under the stone slabs, then there will be thousands of dead souls under our feet!
"Is he the one who smashed people to death with this stone after finishing their work?" Gaang's voice trembled a little.
I nodded and pointed to the crevice, saying, "Looking at the level of the crevice, it must have been designed to be a sinking design. After the craftsmen finished their work and came here, the slabs of stone fell and smashed them to death, and the slabs of stone that were originally hung there became the steps under our feet. As for this small groove, it should be to ensure that there won't be any collisions during the process of the stone slabs falling. " After saying that, I raised my flashlight up and shone it on the ceiling. The empty and slightly rough ceiling confirmed my guess. As for the wood I used as a mechanism, I'm afraid that it has already decomposed into a black color.
After circling around the second wall, the emotions of the few of us were no longer complicated, because the scene before us let us know what Zhao Hai meant by "they are all dead".
Corpses, all over the place.
Gaang and Zhao Zhibing took out a few shining sticks from their backpack and threw them out, the scene before them became even clearer. The large hall was filled with corpses. There were at least one to two hundred of them. It's not like I've never seen a dead person before, but I've never seen such a "rich" number of dead people. From the looks of it, the corpses were all wearing different kinds of clothes. They were all dressed in army uniforms, and some of them were even wearing matching coats. Judging by how shriveled the corpses were, they should be in the same group as the ones mentioned at the corner of the passage.
In addition to these two apparel, the other corpses all wore black clothing and most of them had turned into white bones. Apart from the fact that they could be judged earlier than the group of people with the coats, there was no other way to determine their identity.
At the end of the hall, there was a path that led to the main tomb. However, looking at the bodies on the floor, he didn't want to say anything. We might as well clear up the matter in the hall first, and to a certain extent, we have "found" the special team. The mission has been completed.
I was currently with Miss Kong watching as Zhao Zhibing and Gaang moved their comrade's corpses together one by one, taking photos and archiving them. Hamborg called out to me, "Fourth Boss, look here."
He found a circle of torches wrapped in oilskin on the wall. There were dozens of them, and each of them was fixed on the wall by a semi-circular metal ring as thick as a thumb. Judging from the degree of damage to the stone carvings, this must have been left behind by one of the tombs robbers. I felt that it was too abnormal, so I raised my hand to stop Hamborg from lighting the torch, then turned around to study the stone inscriptions.
The content of the stone inscriptions in the hall was much more detailed than outside. At the beginning, there was a cauldron with a fire under it. A group of people wearing luxurious clothing surrounded the cauldron. What followed was a young man wearing a crown on his head sitting in the hall, accepting the congratulations of the ministers. And this young man's ambition did not seem to lie here. The stone inscriptions that followed did not have many civilians or countries in them, rather, it was mostly about cultivating immortality and opening the cauldron and refining the pills. The final stone inscription was similar to the one on the first wall. The tomb master was seated in the middle, surrounded by auspicious beasts, and a fairy was flying over.
Looking at this series of content, I couldn't help but smile wryly. There really are people who don't think about the power of nobility and wholeheartedly pursue the matter of becoming an immortal. It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I don't want to believe the people at the side of the Baxian Hotel. However, I've always felt that it's not appropriate to just tell them everything.
After half a day of effort, Zhao Zhibing and Gaang finally moved all the corpses of their comrades together. In total, there were only twenty-four corpses. However, looking at the horrifying wounds on the twenty-four corpses, the three of them probably didn't have much luck.
Almost all of their fatal wounds were on their chests or necks. The huge claw marks had nearly cut off their necks, and the wounds on their chests were badly mutilated, shocking anyone who saw it. Several spear-wielding warriors had their wrists chopped off at the same time. Even their guns were bent or damaged. This was very close to the way the previous instructor, Chen Sizhe, had died.
"It doesn't seem complicated." I sat cross-legged on the ground, casually placing the gun aside and staring at the more than twenty corpses neatly arranged on the side. "Something ran out and attacked Chen Si Zhe for some reason, Zhao Hai chased that thing all the way here. Then came the Special Group. But for some unknown reason, the special task force was the first to arrive here. After the fight with that monster, they were almost completely annihilated. "
"What do we do now?" Zhao Zhibing looked at me eagerly.
I rolled my eyes, "Save us the trouble, we will leave now, the basic mission is already completed, Zhao Hai has also found it, how to let him recover and say everything, that is the responsibility of the doctors."
"But what about the missing members of the Special Unit? Are we not going to take revenge on that monster? "
"Little comrade, what do you think is the probability of them surviving in this environment? Furthermore, it's obvious that the monster isn't dead. Its appearance is more than enough for us to burn incense. If these twenty or so fully armed warriors can't handle it, how can we handle it? " I looked at Gaang who had spoken, and smacked my butt as I stood up. Zhao Zhigang also stood up. After exchanging glances with Gaang, he looked at me resolutely, "Fourth Boss, you guys go first. Right now, the most important thing is to send the message. That thing harmed Chao Yang, so Gaang and I will look around. If we can't find it, then we will go up. "
"Ai, why so bitter ~ ~" I sighed. Just as I was about to say something, a sinister voice came from the side …
"None of you will be able to leave."
Following the voice, Zhao Hai who was always leaning in the corner stood up sinisterly. He did not know when he had untied the shoelace in his hand, but he held a lighter in his hand and slowly walked towards the torch on the wall.
"Don't let him light that thing!" I shouted, bending down to grab the gun on the floor. Miss Kong and Hamborg flew out at the same time and pounced towards Zhao Hai. But it was too late, too far away. When they were still three to five meters away from Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai's lighter had already reached the torch.
With a light "bang" sound, the torch beside Zhao Hai lit up, the oil soaked rotten wood exploded into flames, and the pungent black smoke instantly rose up.
Miss Kong took a big stride to's side, and raised him up by the neck with one hand. Zhao Hai's face was completely red, but he did not resist and only smiled at us sinisterly. I think he looks more like a lunatic than she did just now.
Without waiting for Miss Kong to do anything, the ground suddenly shook a little. Everyone quieted down as they stared at the black tunnel that led to the main tomb. After pausing for a few seconds, the ground started to shake with a bang and dust started to fall from the top of his head. It was as if a colossal creature had walked out from there.
Silently, I bent down and picked up the gun. I picked up a few magazines from the corpses of the other soldiers. Then, he gestured to the Miss Kong to spare Zhao Hai's life, there were too many suspicious points on this brat's body, if he died, there were too many things he wouldn't understand. Miss Kong snorted and threw Zhao Hai in the middle of us. Hamborg immediately stepped on him and tore off a few strips of cloth, turning him into a dumpling. On the other hand, Zhao Zhibing and Gaang lit up all the torches together. Since there were too many lice that they didn't bite into them, they might as well finish it right there and then.
A huge shadow slowly appeared at the mouth of the corridor. It was a warrior covered in armor. His face was also covered by a mask. His appearance could not be seen, only his eyes emitted a faint green light. Holding a shield in his left hand and a thick mace in his right, he walked towards us with heavy steps.
"Don't panic, let's slowly retreat. This guy's speed is not fast, we have a chance." While continuously adjusting the muzzle of the gun, I had Zhao Zhibing and Gaang circle behind me, preparing to run out from the shadow wall.
The armored warrior seemed to understand what I was saying and stomped his right foot on a square brick. The wall behind me actually retreated and blocked the passage with a bang.
I looked around the almost completely closed hall and nodded. "I know why these people stopped running." He couldn't run away, so he had to die here. This tomb lord is truly ruthless. "
Miss Kong did not make a sound, she took a step forward and said coldly, "But he did not expect us to be here right?"
"And this thing, the thing he created, he had to try it first. Anyway, Fourth Boss only said not to kill him, and did not say that it was not allowed to injure or cripple him. " Hamborg laughed as he picked up Zhao Hai and threw him in front of Miss Kong, "Miss Kong, pick first, should you rip my thigh or swing your entire leg?"
Zhao Hai was so scared that his face turned white. He knew the weird strength of Miss Kong, being able to lift this hundred kilogram sword in one hand was not a joke, if she were to swing it, it would be good if she were to die, but if she were to break her spine or something, it would be better to die.
Miss Kong rolled her eyes. "This guy is too light, it's not convenient to use it!"
Saying that, he stomped his feet and flew towards the armored warriors who were right in front of him!
