"Have you ever wondered why this big net appeared in this trap?" Si Yueru touched the big net under her body and said.
"Traps are used to kill people. Isn't it unnecessary to hang a big net to catch people who fall?" Ma Weiguang and Fangyuan also realized this problem and fell into thinking for a while.
"Down below." Huang Qiuding, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pulled Si Yueru's sleeve and pointed to the bottom of the big net.
Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw about two meters deep under the big net, separated by a pit dozens of meters wide, and on the walls on both sides, there was a dark passage opening.
Just now, everyone was only looking at the situation below and didn't notice that there was Xuanxu on the wall of the pit.
The unexpected entrance to the passage suddenly made people a little excited. They all climbed up from the Internet to see if there was any way to climb safely through the large network.
At this time, Huang Qiuding suddenly became stern and said again: "The corpse poison is very, very heavy."
Hearing this, Si Yueru's heart suddenly tightened, "The presence of corpse poison in this place only means one thing. The source of the corpse poison is nearby."
In this situation, it is definitely not a good thing to encounter that unknown thing.
As if to confirm Huang Qiuding's words, before Si Yueru could think of a countermeasure, a rustling sound came from the passage below, and this sound was approaching in the direction where they were.
Ma Weiguang suddenly thought of a possibility, "Isn't this big net a tool used to capture blood food?"
At this time, another change occurred.
Only a sudden "click" sound was heard in the pit, and a moment later, a "rumbling" sound of stones rubbing against each other was heard from both the upper and lower sides of the pit.
They raised their flashlights and looked to both sides, and saw boulders slowly closing up on the upper and lower sides of the pit.
"Damn it, do you want to be so cruel?" Ma Weiguang cursed.
And at the moment when the boulder was activated, you could clearly feel that the sound coming from the passage below suddenly became much louder. It seemed that the thing heard the movement of the mechanism here and accelerated its approach.
Time suddenly became urgent, and without thinking, everyone shined their flashlights towards the entrance of the passage on the other side.
"This entrance is our only chance of survival." Si Yueru shouted, "Without further ado, let's all lie down on the big net and crawl along the big net towards the wall where the entrance is."
Everyone quickly climbed to the connection between the big net and the pit wall. When they got closer, they discovered that there was a crack as wide as a hand on the wall of the pit, and the big net protruded from this crack.
Seeing this situation, Si Yueru was a little confused. There was no gap between the big net and the pit wall. How should they jump to the passage below?
"Get out of the way, I'll cut the net." Ma Weiguang pulled out a saber and climbed to the front.
Seeing Ma Weiguang's posture, Si Yueru quickly pulled Fang Yuan and Huang Qiuding back a few steps and told them to use their hands and feet to tightly hook the net rope. And she climbed behind Ma Weiguang and grabbed the net tightly with one hand.
The other hand grabbed his belt.
However, in the current situation, it is useless to just open a hole in the pit wall to get out. The entrance of the passage is located vertically below the pit wall. Even if you get through the hole, you will not be able to swing in when you are hanging on the net. Once you let go
, the whole person can only focus on
It fell directly to the bottom of the pit under the force of the force.
Although Si Yueru and Ma Weiguang were able to grab the lower edge of the passage with their arms during the fall, Fangyuan and Huang Qiuding definitely couldn't do it.
"No, we need to get a rope first." Si Yueru reminded.
Ma Weiguang understood this, so he used local materials to make a rope.
Although the big net is tough and resistant to collisions, it cannot hold out for long in the face of a saber. Ma Weiguang quickly cut a piece of net rope more than thirty centimeters wide and two meters long on the side near the pit wall.
As soon as the big net was cut open, several of them fell down under the action of gravity, especially Fang Yuan, who almost fell out of the hole. Fortunately, Huang Qiuding pulled it in time, which scared his face.
Pale.
Huge rocks were squeezing along the pit, and the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer. Looking with a flashlight, the surface of the rocks was even densely covered with half-inch-long sharp metal tips. If they were poked,
Serve, not into meatloaf but also into meat sauce.
"We don't have much time left!"
Ma Weiguang quickly rolled the net rope in his hand into a long rope as thick as a baby's arm, threw it to Huang Qiuding, and said: "Girl, you swing over with the rope."
Then he turned to Si Yueru and said, "I'll go over and take care of you first."
Si Yueru nodded, crawled to Fangyuan, hugged his waist, and then said to Ma Weiguang, "When Qiu Ding swings by, the entire big net will be pulled. This girl's arms are weak, and she will be in trouble if she falls."
Dead."
Ma Weiguang climbed up the gap in the pit wall and leaned tightly on the pit wall. As soon as he let go, he fell straight down. When he slid through the entrance of the passage, he grabbed the lower edge of the hole with his hands, and then
He pushed his body up with both hands and crawled into the hole in a few seconds.
"Don't worry, come here boldly!" Ma Weiguang was already ready.
At the same time, Huang Qiuding grabbed the rope and slid down. He was like a light flying swallow, drawing a pendulum arc in the air. When he approached the entrance of the cave, he put down his hands and landed steadily at the entrance of the cave.
Si Yueru quickly took back the rope and started to prepare to swing.
Seeing Si Yueru skillfully wrapping the rope around her wrist, Fang Yuan looked at the rope with a pale face, then looked at the hole below, and hesitated: "What should I do if you get there? I can't hold this rope firmly.
Where can I get through it?"
"Hold tight!"
The rocks were approaching all the time. Without using a flashlight, their outlines could already be vaguely seen. Si Yueru didn't have time to explain, so she wrapped the rope with one hand, hugged Fang Yuan with the other, and shouted loudly.
It slipped from the mouth.
With a "Crack" sound, the broken surface of the big net could not bear the weight of the two people, and it tore apart more than one meter in length along the connection between the rope and the net.
Si Yueru and Fangyuan hugged each other and swung backwards for more than three meters. A distance of more than one meter below their feet was densely covered with sharp-pointed rocks. Fang Yuan was so frightened that she hugged Si Yueru tightly.
Waist, dare not open eyes.
Fortunately, after the momentum of falling, the broken surface of the big net did not continue to expand. Si Yueru and Fangyuan quickly swung backwards to the highest point. Then, they could use this rebound force to rush towards the rocks before they closed up.
Swing through the passage on the opposite side.
At this moment, a strong stench of corpses suddenly came from behind, and a tall black figure jumped out from the entrance of the passage behind him, stretched out an arm, and grabbed the two people hanging on the rope.
"Ah!" Fangyuan screamed,
Don't be frightened by the sudden change and make your hands and feet weak and almost slip off Si Yueru's body.
Fortunately, they had swung forward in time, and the black shadow only had time to tear off a large piece of cloth from Fang Yuan's body and fell into the hole below.
Si Yueru held Fang Yuan in her arms, brushed against the boulders rising below and passed through the deep pit, then stepped on the ground at the entrance of the passage with one foot.
Ma Weiguang quickly came up and pulled their ropes, and Huang Qiuding helped Fang Yuan down, who was feeling weak.
Si Yueru turned around and saw a tall humanoid figure leaping from the bottom of the pit across the pit and climbing up to the entrance of the passage on the opposite side.
With a "bang" sound, the boulders slammed together behind them.
"Just now, what was that thing just now? You, you all saw it, right?" Fang Yuan was in shock. The black coat on his body was torn open from the back, leaving only a few rags hanging on his body.
Ma Weiguang nodded solemnly. Both he and Huang Qiuding saw the front of the black figure, and the impact they received was not much smaller than that of Fang Yuan.
Fangyuan's little face suddenly became even paler: "Is that thing the source of the corpse poison?"
Si Yueru didn't speak, thinking silently, "I'm afraid Fangyuan guessed it right this time. This thousand-year-old corpse is most likely the source of the corpse poison that was leaked before, but the problem is worse than I thought before."
It's much trickier."
Si Yueru also felt great pressure for a while, "It seems that the things hidden in this chieftain's tomb are a bit difficult to deal with. If I am not wrong, I am afraid that the big net is set up to catch blood food."
"The tomb protector suffered a disaster here, most likely because he was broken on this ancient corpse. Who knows how many tomb robbers this guy has absorbed in the past two thousand years. If he still has
If there is anything more difficult to deal with than a thousand-year-old corpse that can run and move, it must be a thousand-year-old corpse that has been fed with blood."
However, Si Yueru may not be really afraid, but she is thinking about the safety of the three young people around her. As long as they are around, it is not a matter of whether she can deal with it. It may be more practical to escape quickly.
Even completely amateurs Fangyuan and Ma Weiguang could imagine the power of the thousand-year-old corpse. Looking at the passage blocked by the boulder, they were somewhat thankful that the mechanism in the pit was activated in time. Otherwise, wouldn't they be trapped online?
.....
No one spoke in the passage for a moment, and it fell into silence.
After a while, Ma Weiguang broke the silence: "Anyway, this thing is blocked at that end, don't worry about it. The most important thing is to find an exit as soon as possible."
Several people nodded in agreement, so they cheered up and groped forward along the passage.
The scale of this passage is only slightly smaller than the collapsed corridor, about three meters wide, and four people walking side by side will not feel crowded.
But this time they all walked in the middle as carefully as possible, for fear of accidentally touching the trap again.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, they all noticed something was wrong. The passage seemed to have no end, and there was always darkness ahead.
"What the hell is this place? What's going on now? Why is there such a long tomb passage?" Ma Weiguang couldn't help but said.
The four of us stopped and shined our flashlights forward and back. The light only shined a dozen meters away before being completely swallowed up by darkness.
Chapter completed!
