Chapter 214 Coiling Dragon Hanging Coffin
After leaving well, Li Jing asked everyone to stop and point to the center of Panlong Root above his head. Everyone didn't know what Li Jing saw, so he looked at it for a long time but didn't see it. Li Jing carefully pointed to a place, covered her mouth with one hand and did not dare to make a sound.
Later I noticed that a coffin was wrapped around the dragon root in the center. It seemed to be a transparent coffin. I saw the figure in the coffin. I didn’t know if I didn’t pay attention. I was shocked when I was careful. The person in the transparent coffin seemed to be like a living person, because its skin was intact. Will the real dead still have skin? It should have become bone scum, but it did not.
Because it was too far away and he didn't dare to turn on the lights, he couldn't see the person's gender with his night vision goggles. Professor Zheng was very shocked. He had never seen a transparent coffin, nor had he ever seen a coffin hanging on the panlong root. Perhaps this was the first time everyone here saw it, and the old turtle couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Is this the coffin of the Human King? I don't think it looks like it. If the coffin is hung on it, why do you work so hard to get this ladder to let us go? Could it be that people fall down and survive and climb up? This is not realistic at all. I think it is a cover to deceive people and touch the dragon root."
The young man in white opened his golden mouth and explained: "Yes, this is a cover. In ancient times, people called this transparent coffin the Panlong hanging coffin, which was not the main coffin. The Panlong hanging coffin was used to suppress the Panlong root to prevent the growth of the place outside the tomb and destroy the tomb chamber. In ancient times, some people died, but their consciousness still existed. So when this person died, he placed his consciousness on the Panlong root, that is, the Panlong root is this person. It just turned into a plant and could not do anything. He could only control the growth of the Panlong root."
The explanation of the boy in white is close to the myth, which makes us unable to believe it, and we even begin to doubt whether he is bragging about him. After all, after so long after he got to the tomb, he has not seen his ability, so he only heard his explanation of evil things. No matter how he said it, it makes it difficult for everyone to convince him, but he still dares not do anything against his words. After all, it is a team now, not an individual, and everything is related to everyone's safety.
Professor Zheng said something surprised everyone: "I want to go up and study how it is preserved so well. And what material is this transparent coffin made of, this is an unprecedented big thing."
The captain whispered: "Professor Zheng, but this is Panlong root, we can't touch it."
Professor Zheng nodded reluctantly, which showed that he was still rational and no longer had this idea. He just looked at the coffin reluctantly, after all, it was indeed worth studying science. But we cannot risk our lives, just to get close to look at the coffin. After all, we cannot even turn on the lights here.
Professor Zheng had no choice but to continue following the team and chose to give up a historic archaeological study. After all, there are no conditions yet and I can't get this coffin. We underestimated this deep pit, which is not only very big, but also very deep, and I don't know how long it will take to go on.
There is no way to do this. If the special forces use a rope gun and hang it down here. If the person is down, the rope cannot be taken off. Besides, the movement cannot be big, otherwise the ghost fireflies will wake up and attack us. They have to continue to rush down honestly. Relying on folk remedies will only harm themselves.
After walking for almost half an hour, I suddenly heard a man above shouting: "Ah! Help..."
As we got closer, we found that someone fell down. The ghost fireflies on the wall were stimulated and quickly woke up and flew towards the falling man. Soon the man was still in the air and was burned clean by the fire-red ghost fireflies.
We swallowed, squatting on the ground, dared not move or speak. This was so terrible. The ghost fireflies could really burn people clean, and everyone saw them with their own eyes. Only then did everyone be glad that their brains were not hot before, and they refuted the words of the boy in white, otherwise the outcome would be worse than what he said.
But what I was curious about is whether he was an enemy or another of us. He had been burned and could not know at all. The people above would definitely not dare to speak out when they saw this situation. No matter what, we must speed up to the underground and we cannot let them catch up.
However, the ghost fireflies were still flying in the air, not knowing what they were doing, so we would not dare to move for a while. No one wanted to be burned by him like this, after all, they all wanted to come out alive.
The ghost fireflies are so scary that they can burn all of a person in a short while. How can a bug have such a high temperature? This makes us unable to understand how this ghost fireflies burn. It feels that the ghost fireflies have violated the laws of nature.
The ghost fireflies have no intention of going back, but are constantly flying around, as if they are looking for the next target. It seems that once the ghost fireflies wake up, they will return to their nests for a while. They may not be disturbed for too long, and the disturbance will make them unable to fall asleep peacefully.
We all looked at the boy in white behind. The boy in white didn't focus on us at all, but was observing the movements of the ghost fireflies. We dared not move easily, after all, we had seen the power of the ghost fireflies, and no one dared to try it.
Finally, a part of the ghost fireflies flew toward the transparent coffin, as if protecting the transparent coffin. This scene made us stunned. Why did the ghost fireflies still know how to protect things? It felt too incredible.
So the boy in white said to the person in front of him: "You go first, I will break the back alone. Remember, be gentle and don't make any sound."
We do what the boy in white said. Who dares to question him this time unless he is seeking death? But I am curious why the boy in white broke the back alone, what exactly did he do?
After nearly a hundred steps, we had attracted the movement of the ghost fireflies swarm and were slowly flying towards us. We were all so scared that we stopped and watched the ghost fireflies swarm slowly flew over, and no one dared to mess with this ghost fireflies.
A small light suddenly appeared from the boy in white. It turned out that the boy in white lit a candle. Of course, after lighting the candle, he naturally ran towards us quickly. Seeing him strode like flying, he jumped up and ran without holding on to the wall, without any worries about falling off. This surprised everyone. He was so good at it.
In addition to the ghost fireflies protecting the coffin, other ghost fireflies saw the candle flames and flew quickly towards the flames. Strangely, they were not burned by the fire, and they were dancing happily as if they entered the swimming pool. When the small flames came into contact with the ghost fireflies, they immediately turned into a big fire. Did moths hit the fire learn from ghost fireflies?
The boy in white quickly ran to the back of our team and urged everyone: "Go away quickly, a candle doesn't reach much time, and the fire can easily burn all the candles."
Hearing the urging of the boy in white, everyone stood up and walked down quickly. Someone asked the boy in white as he walked: "Brother, is this ghost firefly not weak?"
The boy in white said, "They are afraid of lack of oxygen, so they coexist and die with Panlong Gen. They are also afraid of sunlight and moonlight. As for why they are afraid of light, I don't understand it, otherwise they would have ruled the world long ago. They are still afraid of water. If we don't have enough water to destroy a few, it's more important to escape."
After hearing what the boy in white explained, this ghost fireflies do not seem to have natural enemies here. No wonder they reproduce so many times. Judging from the number of the group above, there are countless.
I don’t know what happened to the candle, but it suddenly fell from above, and many ghost fireflies chased the candle’s faint firelight. Unfortunately, it was soon extinguished. The ghost fireflies lost their fun, returned to mid-air, and continued patrolling. We were so scared that we stopped and remained motionless. At this time, even the boy in white didn’t urge us to leave, and we didn’t dare to move.
The boy in white picked up a stone as big as a fist on the ground and threw it at the opposite wall. The stone quickly hit the wall, making a "bang". The group of ghost fireflies divided into two strands, one flew towards the place where the stone hit, and the other strand chased towards the stone.
The boy in white said to us in front of us: "Go away quickly, I will break the back and speed up. If they fly towards you, they will stop just like before. They are attracted by the fire, don't look at me or wait for me, just leave. There are not many candles, so you must save money, otherwise you will not be able to walk down."
We all understand how to do it, and it is very urgent for us now, so we started to move faster this time. The ghost fireflies didn't understand what was going on and didn't have time to react, so the ghost fireflies haven't noticed us yet. Of course, in a safe time, we can't waste it, and we continue to speed up and move forward.
The boy in white was still moving, he was observing the movements of the ghost fireflies. I didn't expect that he would always think about us. Could it be that I was wrong and thought too badly? If I really do something wrong with us, I can ignore us at all and get what he wants by myself.
Maybe he is a mysterious person, just trying to protect his mystery, otherwise even Professor Zheng would not know his name. As long as he truly protects our team, I will take him seriously.
The Ghost Firefly seemed to understand that she was being fooled, so she quickly returned to her formation and continued patrolling in the air. Before the Ghost Firefly could react, we continued to rush forward. After all, everyone trusted the boy in white and didn't believe it at least half of it. If he didn't help us, we would have let us die long ago, which means he was not that kind of person.
After a while, the ghost fireflies reacted and found that we were moving. The ghost fireflies group formed a group and slowly flew towards us. We quickly stopped. The boy in white lighted the candles in time and ran towards us quickly.
When the ghost fireflies see the candles, they can't let go of fun toys. They flew towards the flames in a rush, as if the flames could make them reborn. We no longer wait for the boy in white, but take a step first. After all, it is not difficult for the boy in white to catch up with us with the skills of the boy in white.
