The entire tomb chamber looked like a battlefield!
The mummified corpses seemed to have gone through an extremely brutal war before they died. Most of them were mutilated to the point of missing hands and feet, or even a head. Some of them even had their bodies pierced by spears and were suspended in the air! It gave people a creepy feeling when they looked at it!
Moreover, the most terrifying thing was not the incomplete corpses, but the faint ghostfire that burned near them!
I once read that the ghost fire was caused by a spontaneous combustion of phosphorus in the body of the deceased.
However, no one had set foot in this place for at least a thousand years. Then what about those ghost flames?
Moreover, under the flickering will-o '-the-wisp, the entire tomb was filled with flickering shadows, making one's hair stand on end! In addition, the corpses seemed to have died with their eyes wide open, making people feel terrified. How could they dare to take a step forward?
"Brother, Brother Zhou, why … why don't we go back? Let's go back!"
Upon seeing such a scene, even the normally crazy Big Board could not help but be frightened. How could I dare to take even half a step forward?
"Don't worry, this is just the most ordinary Thousand Corpse Resisting Formation. Those corpses are only wax statues, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
After saying that, Dong Wan'er actually walked over and took my arm. I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
I remember when we were at the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea, I saw countless heads underwater. At that time, Zhang Zi Kong told me that those were wax statues, but later on it was proven that those weren't wax statues, but real heads! It's just that at that time, Zhang Zi Kong purposely said that those heads were wax statues in order to stabilize our emotions!
"Wax?" If it's a wax statue, then what about those ghost flames? "
"It's a wax figure made of phosphor wax, so after a thousand years there will still be phosphor powder coming out. If it was a real body, it would have been dried into powder long ago. "Also, the eyes are usually the first parts of a corpse to rot. Even if you want to make mummies, you have to dig them out. Look at the eyes of those mummies!"
After saying that, Dong Wan'er pointed at the nearest mummy's eyes.
He saw the dried corpse's eyes. Although they looked very similar to Xu Man's eyes and those eyes seemed to be filled with resentment, but after Dong Wan'er's explanation, it had clearly become a flaw.
After her explanation, although the wax statues still looked very frightening and there was still a sense of fear in my heart, at least I had a foundation. I wasn't as scared as before.
After hearing Dong Wan'er's explanation, Big Board excitedly grabbed a spear from the ground. He then used the spear to pick up a furry object on the ground and walked back to us!
However, when the plank held the furry thing up in front of us, I was surprised to see that it was the corpse of a black cat! When she saw the black cat's body, Dong Wan'er's face immediately turned pale!
"This is bad!" Looks like I misjudged it! The black cat's corpse was inside the array, which meant that these corpses were real! And the cat body moved, and the corpse of the formation rose! "
The moment Dong Wan'er finished her sentence, I saw the black cat that was raised by the big board suddenly open her eyes and look at me with resentment!
"Don't look at the cat's eyes! It can take one's soul! "
Although Dong Wan'er had warned me in time, the moment the cat corpse opened its eyes and looked at me, I had already locked eyes with it! In this instant, I only felt my entire body instantly turn ice-cold. Furthermore, fear that came from the depths of my soul also quickly spread throughout my body!
In a daze, I felt as if I was flying toward the eyes of that black cat, as if that was the true home of my soul!
Just when I felt that I was about to enter the black cat's eyes, the qilin hanging on my chest suddenly emits a dazzling light. I have finally recovered from my shock!
At this moment, I was drenched in cold sweat while the black cat struggled to land on the ground from the spear in its hand!
At the same time, all the corpses in the tomb began to move!
Seeing this, I immediately turned around and was about to escape through the tunnel behind me, but I was stopped by Dong Wan'er.
"Don't run back! It was useless to run back now! This is the Thousand Corpse Soul Riding Array, if we do not continue forward, by the time we run back, we will be dead! "
At this moment, Dong Wan'er's expression became extremely serious. She definitely wasn't joking! But there are so many mummies, it's scary just thinking about them, how can I dare to go forward?
At this moment, I had already put on a mournful expression. However, Dong Wan'er directly grabbed my hands and walked out without saying a word!
"From now on, close your eyes. Before you enter the tunnel, do not open them!"
Hearing her words, I immediately closed my eyes. However, what was inconceivable was that after I closed my eyes, the dark tomb seemed to have become extremely clear!
Yes, after I close my eyes, it's like I'm wearing an infrared night vision goggles. I can clearly see everything in the tomb, including those flickering shadows!
However, within this scene, the black cat and the dried corpses had disappeared without a trace! This made me calm down quite a bit. The fear from before also dissipated quite a bit.
Not only me, but also the board.
I looked at the board with my eyes closed. I could clearly see that his expression was one of disbelief!
When we all closed our eyes, Dong Wan'er added, "From the moment I closed my eyes, everything you see, hear and touch, are all illusions! No matter who asks you to, you must not agree to their request! "
There seemed to be a contradiction in her words. Because when she said that, we had closed our eyes, so could it be understood that we should not even believe that?
However, under such circumstances, I couldn't be bothered to pick my fault. I simply turned my head and closed my eyes to look at the passageway.
Seeing that I didn't react, Dong Wan'er tugged at me again, "Zhou Yu, did you hear that?"
Hearing her words, I opened my mouth to reply, but the moment I opened my mouth, the wooden cow in my hand immediately became hot! The words that were about to reach my mouth were forcefully swallowed back down my throat!
The heck, which one of them is the real one? Was the wooden cow in my hand an illusion, or was Dong Wan'er's words an illusion?
Seeing that I still didn't react, Dong Wan'er couldn't help but pull on my arm again. She said impatiently, "Did you hear that?"
Hearing that, I could only nod my head, then closed my eyes and looked at the big board beside me, "From now on, everyone is only allowed to ask questions, and no one is allowed to answer! If you hear someone call you or say anything to you, you can just directly answer with a nod or a shake of your head! "
Just as I finished speaking, I saw Big Board nod. Dong Wan'er simply climbed onto my shoulder and wanted me to walk forward with her back against me!
I was going to say something about her, but then I thought it might be an illusion, so I simply ignored her and let her climb on my shoulder, carrying her on my back as I walked out.
However, just as I took a few steps forward, I suddenly felt as if I stepped on something. Moreover, a sharp cat cry immediately sounded from under my feet, scaring me to the point that I immediately took a few steps back!
If it weren't for the warning from the wooden bull in my hand, I would have almost opened my eyes to see what was going on!
He closed his eyes and looked down. There was nothing under my feet right now!
Could it be that I just stepped on it, and it really is the real cat corpse from before? If that was the case, then wouldn't it mean that the dried corpses that had begun to move earlier …
Just as I thought of this, I felt a pair of ice-cold hands that was emitting a peculiar stench touch my face! This made all the hairs on my body stand up!
Even though Dong Wan'er said that it was all an illusion and I didn't see anything now, but just thinking about a dried corpse using its hands to caress my face made my heart shiver!
But when I remembered that the woman was still lying in the cave waiting for me to go back and save her, I couldn't help but harden my heart and force myself to walk forward!
However, just as I walked forward for a short distance, the dried corpses that I had seen before started to turn into phantoms again.
As I walked forward, the shadows of the corpses became more and more solid! The moment we reached the center of the tomb, the dried corpses from before, including the ghostfire, and the shadows that flickered under the ghostfire, once again appeared clearly before my eyes!
However, all of those things were currently still in their original positions.
But even so, when I once again saw this strange scene, I couldn't help but feel a little fearful in my heart! He turned his head to look at the big board. He also had a scared look and his face began to turn pale!
"I don't care! Since Dong Wan'er said this was an illusion, then this must be an illusion! For the sake of that girl, we must definitely obtain that Everlasting Jue! "
The moment I said those words, I saw the big board man nod his head towards me heavily. However, at this moment, sharp cat cries reached my ears!
The big board seemed to have also heard the cat's cry. It immediately turned its head and looked in the direction of the cry with its eyes closed.
At this time, I could clearly see a group of black shadows begin to move back and forth between the dried corpses. Every time they touch a dried corpse, that dried corpse would seem to come alive.
Was this also an illusion?
When I saw this scene, I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do! At this moment, Dong Wan'er's voice rang out again!
"This is real! "Run!"
The heck, what the heck is true? Was it the cries of Dong Wan'er or the resurrected corpses? Or both?
By this time, I had already fallen into a dilemma, and I could no longer tell which was the real one and which was the illusion!
