Chapter 194: Scarlet Jade
Niu Da and Ermao were stunned when they heard the gunshots on the cave.
"Open it quickly!" Li Tianming shouted loudly to both of them. He knew that Scar Jin could not help but act. But he no longer cared about what was going on outside.
Now he only has the dragon's nest in his eyes. The mysterious power that can make people immortal is right in front of him. This stone slab is the door of life blocking in front of him. When he opened the stone slab, he could cross life and death and be reborn!
Niu Da and Ermao were frightened by him. They inserted a crowbar into the gap around the stone slab. As soon as they tried hard, the stone slab was lifted out, revealing a round hole below.
As soon as the stone slab was pried open, the two of them retreated from a distance, fearing that the "demon" inside would reach out and drag the two of them in.
Mo Laosan and Li Tianming looked at each other, and they slowly approached the entrance of the cave and looked down. They saw a dark area inside and could not see anything.
Li Tianming waved to Su Rui and said, "Little girl, come and see what's underneath."
Su Rui walked forward, squatted on the edge of the cave and looked down, unable to see anything except pitch black.
"I can't see anything." Su Rui said with a frown.
"Look at it carefully, what's there? It seems that something is moving." Li Tianming pointed to the bottom and said.
Mo Laosan looked up at Li Tianming and looked confused. He didn't see anything. Could it be that Uncle Li's one-eye is even more powerful than his two dog eyes?
Su Rui leaned forward and looked carefully in the direction of Li Tianming's finger.
Suddenly, a strong force was pushed towards him from behind, and Su Rui's body lost control and plunged into the darkness.
Mo Laosan took two steps back and looked at Li Tianming in shock.
He clearly saw Li Tianming pushing her down with a palm while Su Rui was paying attention.
Li Tianming seemed to have nothing happened, staring at Su Rui's whereabouts with concentration, listening with his ears sideways - if there is anything "abnormal" below, then this is the best bait.
With a "pop", it was the sound of Su Rui landing, and then there was no sound below.
After a while, Li Tianming lowered his voice and shouted down, "Little girl, are you okay?"
A rustling sound passed by, and Mo Laosan seemed to see something swimming on the hole wall inside.
"I'm fine." Su Rui's voice sounded below, sounding calm.
Mo Laosan was stunned and then understood, and had to admire Su Rui's psychological quality.
"I'll give you the mine lamp, you... shine on the road below." Mo Laosan shouted softly.
He wanted to walk to the edge of the cave, looked at Li Tianming squatting at the entrance of the cave, and hesitated again. He carefully threw the mine lamp in his hand two steps away from the entrance of the cave.
The column of the mine lamp rolled in the air and fell to the bottom of the cave. Su Rui reached out to catch it.
With the light, you can see a stone chamber below, with the entrance of the cave just above the stone chamber, five or six meters above the ground.
Seeing Su Rui standing below safely, Mo Laosan breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Li ordered Niu Daiwa Ermao: "Take out the rope ladder."
Niu Da took out a rope ladder from his backpack and tied one end of the rope ladder to the heavy golden coffin. Ermao took the lead, carried the equipment and climbed down the rope step by step.
Mo Laosan glanced at Li Tianming and said tentatively: "How about I'll show you the wind on it?"
Li Tianming stared at him expressionlessly.
Mo Laosan's heart trembled and coughed, "Then I, I'll go down too."
As soon as his feet fell to the ground, there was no "thing" around him pounced on him. Mo Laosan felt a little relieved. Seeing Su Rui standing beside him, he asked with concern: "Oh, are you okay? Why are you so careless..." Mo Laosan asked knowingly.
Su Rui smiled and said as he said, "I'm fine, I accidentally slid."
In fact, everyone knows how Su Rui fell.
Seeing through but not saying it out loud, seeing through but not exposing it, this is not a kind of mind, but a wisdom of survival.
Mo Laosan turned his neck to observe the surroundings. The space here was larger than what they saw above. The surrounding walls were covered with purple vines, and the leaves of the vines were like children's little hands, red and green, and crystal clear - it was the "blood jade" they saw in the dragon blood wood coffin.
After Mo Laosan came down, Niu Da and Li Tianming climbed down the rope ladder one after another.
"Be careful!" Su Rui reminded everyone.
Everyone looked at their feet and found that there were many vines crawling on the ground, but the color turned gray and black. The vines of "blood jade" were like chameleons, which could automatically adapt to the surrounding colors. It was really not easy to find without looking carefully.
What is even more strange is that these vines seem to be conscious. Once a person approaches a place more than ten centimeters around it, it will automatically fold and twist and avoid it.
Ermao suddenly waved the crowbar in his hand, and accidentally broke a vine. The vine contracted violently, and a blue-purple juice splashed out from the broken part. The air suddenly filled with a fishy smell - similar to the smell emitted by the corpse in the blood dragon wooden coffin.
Li Tianming suddenly understood that the reason why the corpse in the wooden coffin could not rot for a long time was because this strange plant penetrated into the coffin.
I just don’t know where this strange plant comes from. The branches and leaves of this thing look like jade. They not only change color, but also can feel the changes around them and move. Whether they look or smell, they are incompatible with the creatures in nature and do not seem to belong to this world.
Ermao suddenly pulled the collar of the down jacket and said, "It's so hot, do you feel it?"
After Ermao reminded everyone, they realized that the air in this cave was very humid and hot, which was completely different from the climate outside at around minus ten degrees below the temperature.
Mo Laosan looked at the detector and whispered: "I'm good at it, 23°, this is the same as summer."
Li Tianming discovered that after entering this stone chamber, his breathing was much smoother, and the feeling of chest tightness, panting and dizziness had almost disappeared.
Could it be that this creature created such a strange environment?
Everyone used a mine lamp to shine on the surrounding walls. These vines with leaves like small hands spread on the wall and on the ground. All the vines seemed to stretch out from the same place. Following the light, everyone saw that the stems of all the vines gathered on one wall, and a black sarcophagus lay under the wall.
All vines spread out from the sarcophagus, spreading around against the walls and the ground, like a huge "crown", which is the "throne" under the crown.
Mo Laosan said astonished, "Be good, I didn't expect there was a tomb under the Golden Spirit Bone Tower. The coffin in the coffin and the tomb in the tomb are really bizarre and weird."
Everyone walked slowly towards the sarcophagus, and the vines and "blood jade" around them seemed to have eyes, and they suddenly retreated as soon as they approached.
Ermao fucked the crowbar in his hand and smashed it at a vine. Su Rui frowned and said, "Stop hitting it, this juice may be highly toxic, don't let it touch the skin."
When everyone walked up to him, they found that compared with the gorgeous golden spirit bone tower above, the sarcophagus underneath was very "simple" - it could even be said to be quite cold.
There is no decoration, it is just an ordinary sarcophagus, the size of an ordinary coffin.
Those strange vines emerged from the casket, and the lid of the sarcophagus had been pushed into two fingers wide by the blood-jade vines.
Li Tianming signaled Niu Dahe Ermao to go up and move the lid of the coffin away.
The two of them walked forward carefully and inserted the crowbar into the casket. With force, the lid of the coffin was lifted and fell to the ground.
With a bang, a "blood jade" came out of the sarcophagus, which scared everyone.
These leaves like little hands were waving in the air, like a group of children spreading their arms in the sarcophagus, which was indescribable.
"Fuck me, I'm scared!" Ermao muttered, and was about to step forward again, but was stopped by Mo Laosan.
The sharp-eyed Mo Laosan saw something burying in the vines surrounding them.
Everyone gathered the lights of the mine lamp in their hands. After seeing the things inside, they were shocked. A zombie wearing black iron armor was actually wrapped in the vines.
The zombie's face exposed outside was pitch black, and it shone under the light, as if the corpse had turned into jade. Apart from the face, the rest of the body was wrapped in black iron armor. This black iron armor was also an extraordinary thing. It had been in such a humid environment for hundreds or thousands of years, but there was no rust at all.
Seeing the "baby", Ermao's "old habit" was again arose. He stepped forward and waved his crowbar to drive away the blood jade, trying to remove the iron armor - this thing should be worth a lot of money.
"Seeing" the waving crowbar, the "Blood Jade" suddenly retreated, squeezed on the zombie's head together, and condensed into a ball.
Ermao saw that the iron-armored zombie's feet were exposed, so he reached into the coffin and wanted to grab the foot and pull it out.
Suddenly, a vine flew out of the "Blood Jade" like lightning, and tentacles wrapped around Ermao's neck.
Niu Dayan was ready to go next to him and his hands were quick and quick. The dagger in his hand flashed through the air, instantly cutting off the vine that wrapped around Ermao's neck.
Ermao threw away the crowbar and reached out to pull the vine around his neck. Before his hand touched his neck, his body suddenly stiffened, like a stick, and fell to the ground with his back on his back.
Under the light, a blue and purple aura on Ermao's face disappeared in an instant, and then his skin slowly lost its blood. After a few seconds, his face appeared blue and white.
In just a moment, he was completely dead!
The cut off vine was retracted into the sarcophagus, and the blue and purple juice splattered on the surrounding blood jade and iron-armored zombies. The "blood jade" began to shake violently, making a rustling sound.
Niu Da took out a piece of C4 explosive from his backpack, skillfully inserted it into the detonator, connected it to the firing line, and connected it to the detonator.
Mo Laosan said: "What do you want to do?"
Niu Da said gritting his teeth, "You are blind? This ghost thing is so powerful. I exploded it with explosives!"
Su Rui said, "We will die faster then! When the explosives explode, the venom will splash everywhere, and as long as there is a little on the skin, you will die!"
Niu Da was stunned, put the explosives and detonators on the ground, and said in a muffled voice: "What should I do?"
Su Rui said: "First observe, this thing does not seem to hurt people on its own initiative. It has been avoiding us - as long as we don't touch the things in the sarcophagus, it will not attack."
At this moment, Mo Laosan opened his mouth wide and pointed at the sarcophagus.
Everyone looked along his fingers and couldn't help but feel creepy. The iron-armored zombie wrapped in "blood jade" actually slowly got up.
Chapter completed!
