Chapter 57: Halfway Back
Not long after walking forward, Zhang Lan pointed to the wall and shouted. Everyone looked at the sound and saw a sudden mural on the wall.
When I walked over and looked at it, I was confused. The scenes depicted by black and red stripes on several bricks were not clear. The other two people also expressed helplessness. Xiao Qing took out the tools and planned to pry off the bricks and stones, but in the halfway point, a bug as big as a thumb crawled out of the gap.
After seeing the insect, Xiao Qing's face suddenly changed. He pulled out the dagger on his boot and stabbed the insect body. The green juice splashed out. The insect made a whispering scream. Two sharp white teeth as big as rice grains stretched out under his long tentacles. His eight legs could not be struggled and he died in a short while.
"I didn't expect there were poisonous corpse lice here. Everyone must be careful. If you get bitten by this thing, it will be much more serious than if you get a poisonous snake."
Xiao Qing asked me to shine the lights over and saw several glass-like holes behind the bricks, each with a poisonous corpse lice, and under the lights, there were several ready to move. Xiao Qing took out the spray from the private room and placed the brick on the ground, like two soldiers borrowing lighters.
As the bricks were blown out, flames spewed out, and a few whirring sounds of burning protein drifted out.
All the insect corpses fell off. Xiao Qing held the brick in his palm and studied it carefully. There were five bricks with stripes in succession. After being detained, they were all curbed and eliminated the poisonous corpse lice inside. But my attention was focused on the things behind the bricks and stones, "Isn't it human bones that turn white?"
Xiao Qing said coldly: "Don't doubt, those are human bones. In ancient times, for the safety of the cemetery, the craftsmen involved in the construction of tombs would be killed when the cemetery was completed and buried deep, while some would seal them in the tombs and starve to death."
I couldn't help but shivered, but I think there should be many ghosts who died unjustly?
"This is a good choice." I shook my head again, "It's still not all. If I encounter a tomb robber, I'd probably robbed the body together."
"Look at what is ahead?"
Everyone looked in the direction Zhang Lan pointed, and their mouths grew in surprise. Some time ago, a huge ancient cauldron appeared as the road. The two bodyguards were also the two with the highest combat power here besides me. Let us wait here again and they stepped forward to check the situation.
After a moment, he came back and shook his head helplessly, "It's completely blocked."
"I don't believe it." Xiao Qing went up to look at it, and directly saw an ancient tripod without feet, with the Liuyun pattern and Taotie beast pattern on it, which was flat and round, blocking the entrance of the passage tightly. The remaining gap was probably a wild cat or a little smaller, and the mouse could climb over it.
"how so?"
Everyone expressed their incredible belief. Not to mention whether this ancient cauldron appeared out of thin air, it was already amazing enough to just put it here, and it is probably difficult to achieve it with current technology. Moreover, how much financial and material resources and manpower is consumed to build such a large ancient cauldron is just to block the road, which is too luxurious.
I tried to measure it, and the passage was three meters wide and about four meters high.
"I have to write it down. This is simply a miracle. The greatest work of art in human history is right in front of me!" The uncle was excited and speechless.
Let’s not talk about the rest. Of course, except for Xiao Qing and the two mercenaries, because I don’t understand art, I have nothing except a little surprised when I first saw it. Xiao Qing is focused on this ancient tomb. Now, even if the amazing treasure appears in front of him, it may not make her feel energetic.
The mercenaries only have money and sex in their eyes. Some of them are deserters expelled from the outside team, some are exiled fugitives, and only countless treasures and sexy and graceful beauties can attract them.
I leaned aside and watched them study the ancient cauldron. Luo Xue watched around the ancient cauldron. Even she couldn't help but be amazed, "It's just a treasure that can be regarded as a national protection weapon, no..."
Luo Xue wanted to enter the interior of the ancient cauldron, but she could not use the penetration ability she was proud of. She bounced out several meters away after hitting, which scared me and almost exclaimed, and quickly covered her mouth.
"The things in it are amazing, you can leave quickly." After saying that, in the blink of an eye, flashed into the Soul-Stationing Stone.
I haven't figured out why Luo Xue said these words, but I smelled a scent, which was very similar to the stinky corpse. It came from above. The teeth of Taotie's face opened like jagged teeth, and a green gas floated out from it. The most important thing was that it sank downwards, and a tallest mercenary was first exposed to it.
The scalp on my head instantly turned into blood and let out continuous screams. Only then did someone discover the seriousness of the matter. My mind became hot and I stepped forward and held Xiao Qing's wrist and ran out, but no matter where we ran, the gas could always catch up.
A man accidentally tripped, Xiao Qing wanted to go back to save him, but I stopped him. Xiao Qing whistled and punched me to the ground, but the man was also corroded into a pile of white bones. Only then did I realize that it was a group of bloodthirsty and flesh-eating insects approaching Xiao Qing at a fast speed.
I rushed over and threw her down. Although Xiao Qing survived, the mercenary behind me was in trouble. However, when we got up, there was only one bone left in the upper body of the other person.
Without saying a word, I held Xiao Qing's hand and ran away. The only six remaining people rushed to run wildly. When I passed by a certain place, I suddenly noticed a familiar aura, but the time was urgent and there was no time to think about it, so I quickly asked someone to put down the rope.
Strangely, the group of human-eating flesh-and-blooded bugs stopped when they passed by that location, as if there was a natural transparent barrier blocking them.
When I arrived at the camp, I lay on the ground with a fragile mentality and cried with my head in my arms, and I kept retching. It was barely considered calm that the only two of us were left.
