Compared to zombies with weak attack power, I hate encountering rotting corpses because they are really disgusting and unappetizing. What's more, the stench emanating from their bodies makes people suffocate when facing them.
of suffering.
"What a damn bad luck." I cursed in my mind.
The water channel was not wide, so I soon ran into two rotting corpses.
I dodged to avoid the hand of one of the rotting corpses that was reaching for me. I swam towards the other rotting corpse, formed a tribulation talisman on my hand, and slapped it on the forehead.
The rotten corpse that was hit on the head by the Tribulation Talisman was shaken, and the black energy covering its body immediately dissipated, and its whole body floated stiffly in the water.
I pushed the dead body away, moved my hands forward and was about to swim over, when a force came from my feet, as if I was being pulled by something.
When I looked back, I saw that the rotten corpse that I had dodged before had already caught up with me. One hand was grabbing my ankle, and the other was about to reach out to grab my other foot.
"Get out of here!" How could I let it hold on firmly? I quickly kicked my legs and kicked the corpse hard in the face.
The rotten corpse had been soaked in the water for too long, and its entire body was almost rotten. I kicked the rotten corpse a few steps away, leaving only one severed hand hanging on my foot.
After all the violent movements, I felt like stars were in my eyes, and my lungs seemed to be filled with explosives, which seemed to explode at any time. I didn't have time to pay attention to the corpses that were still struggling to catch up, so I turned around and used all the force of sucking.
Use your strength to swim forward.
I don’t know how long time has passed, maybe only a minute, but I feel that it is almost as long as a century.
Just when my vision began to blur and my brain was about to lose oxygen, in a daze, I seemed to see a layer of bright light not far ahead.
This seems to be the light brought by the refraction of light into the water surface. In other words, the place with bright light is the exit.
I shook my head vigorously, squeezed out the last bit of air from my lungs, and swam toward the light with all my strength.
"Wow!" I rushed out of the water, stumbled across the steps, and collapsed on the blue brick floor. My chest rose and fell rapidly, and I breathed in precious air.
"It's done, it almost choked me to death." After a few minutes, I recovered from the short-term hypoxia in my brain, got up from the ground, looked around, and took stock of where I was at the moment.
environment.
This is an unusually empty space, surrounded by cliffs on all sides. I don't know how high it is. It doesn't look like an underground cave.
Although the top of the cliff is completely dark, there is light coming from nowhere below. Even though it is very dim, you can still see the surrounding things clearly.
This side of the open space is isolated by the water channel. It is about one meter above the water. There are seven or eight steps gradually going down, and finally disappearing into the water, which is where I came up just now.
The outline of a building could be vaguely seen on the other side. I tried hard to distinguish it. It looked a bit like an imperial mausoleum-level palace built on the ground.
In the middle of the open space is a green brick tomb passage that leads directly to the palace. On both sides of it, there are two symmetrical rows of thick stone pillars standing neatly. Between the stone pillars, there are many human-shaped stone statues.
These stone sculptures are about three meters high. They wear crowns, hats, and fancy clothes, with wide sleeves hanging down to their knees. They should look like officials and nobles from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
I
I walked along the tomb passage towards the palace in the distance. Halfway through, nearly a hundred dark figures suddenly appeared in my sight, and I was suddenly shocked.
"Could they be zombies?" I was startled. "There are so many of them that I can't handle them even with three heads and six arms."
But looking back was the water channel, surrounded by rock walls that were difficult to climb. I could only be more vigilant and cautiously continue walking towards the figure.
After walking for a while and getting closer, I realized that these black figures were just terracotta warriors and horses wearing armor.
At this time, the palace at the end of the open space was clearly visible. The palace was upright, with four corner brackets and eaves. There were rare birds standing on the eaves. It looked meticulously carved and magnificent.
Below the palace is a stepped three-story platform, which is stacked up layer by layer until the entrance of the main hall. There are dozens of terracotta warriors and horses scattered on each platform. When you are far away, it is so dark that it looks a bit scary.
After checking it carefully again, I felt a little uneasy again after I had just let go.
These terracotta warriors and horses seem to be different from the clay warriors we are familiar with. They are all covered in thick armor, with hoods on their heads, and their entire faces are covered under the visors. Only the eyes have a black hole.
of gaps.
Even his hands were covered with gauntlets, and his whole body was covered so tightly that he couldn't see what was inside.
And they all hold weapons in their hands, ranging from bronze daggers to long halberds. Although these weapons have been used for thousands of years and look a little rusty, they are obviously still usable.
The most bizarre thing is that these human figurines are not neatly arranged on the steps in front of the palace gate. They are in different postures, chasing, attacking, chopping, or stabbing. They are all facing the same direction, and they seem to be chasing.
Kill the enemy.
I looked at it carefully, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger. If the scene in front of me was regarded as a movie scene, it seemed that these human figurines were forced to press the pause button when they were chasing the enemy, so they all
Stiff in the final moment of action.
I climbed up the lowest step and walked to the front of the human figurine. When I turned around and looked again, the whole scene suddenly became clear. All the human figurines were aimed at the position I was in now.
Looking at the messy stone carvings lying around near them, it was already very obvious that a fierce fight had taken place here. What's even more terrible is that these human figurines holding weapons and wearing armor are not just decorations.
, they can move.
This thought made me sweat from behind.
Who was it that had fought with these human figurines here? Why were these servants suddenly unable to move as if the pause button had been pressed? I looked around, hoping to find some useful clues.
I soon found something. Behind a fallen stone pillar in the corner of the platform, I saw a small section of white bones exposed.
This was obviously the body of an outsider. I quickly walked around the stone pillar and saw a corpse leaning against the stone pillar, with a few pieces of rags still hanging on the body that had not completely decayed. I didn't know how many years it had been dead.
There were some dark red patterns around the bones, and a thick layer of dust fell on them, making it difficult to see clearly. I walked to the bones and squatted down, reaching out to brush away the dust.
The dark red pattern reveals its true appearance, which seems to be a blood letter left by the bones during their lifetime. They are of the same origin as the inscriptions seen on the vertical coffin before, indicating that this deceased person of unknown origin also came from more than two thousand years ago.
A contemporary of the tomb owner.
It's just that I can only recognize a few characters that are close to Qin Zhuan. For most of the other characters, I can only stare at them.
Finding nothing, I stood up in disappointment, and the bones suddenly fell to the ground with a crash.
Looking back, it turned out that my arm accidentally pulled the rag on the corpse. At the same time, a small copper box rolled down from the bones and stopped at my feet.
Picking up the copper box, I saw a small lock hanging on it, but the lock body was already rusty. I pulled it gently and pulled the padlock open.
Just when I was about to open the copper box and see what was inside, the most troublesome situation happened again.
That weird damn sound sounded again, echoing back and forth in the open space. After the previous two experiences, I thought with my toes that I knew what was going to happen next.
I didn't have time to check the contents of the copper box, so I stuffed it into my arms, turned around and rushed under the platform.
"clang!"
A ray of cold light passed through the place where I was standing a moment ago, cut a piece of air, and suddenly hit the stone pillar next to the white bones, making a tooth-piercing impact sound.
I looked back and saw that the armored figurine at the front had retracted the halberd that had been struck on the stone pillar, strode forward, raised his halberd, and stabbed me in the back.
And behind it, nearly a hundred armored figurines followed closely behind!
"I've killed eighteen generations of your family!" Faced with this situation, I could only curse in my heart, spread my legs, and run towards the side of the cliff.
The direction I came from was that damn waterway, and I had no interest in experiencing it again. What’s more, even after crossing the waterway, there were still two thousand-year-old female corpses waiting for me at the other end. I could only hope to see if there was anything in the direction of the cliff.
An exit or a place where you can take shelter.
There are nearly a hundred armored figurines. I really can't think of a way to deal with them. Escape is the only option.
The distance of tens of meters came in an instant, and the cliffs that were not clear before gradually became clear, and my heart sank to the bottom.
As far as I could see, there was a bare cliff. Don't tell me, there weren't even any vines or vines for me to climb on.
With no way out in front and troops chasing behind us, the situation is really getting worse.
I accelerated my thrust, no longer facing the cliff directly, but rushed towards the cliff at an angle of more than thirty degrees. Behind me, there was a mass of black armored figurines.
In the last few steps, I took a running start, stepped on the cliff, jumped into the air, and completed a turn in the air.
Almost at the same time, the halberd swept past me with a strong wind. The armored figurines chasing after me had already caught up!
I pushed hard with my foot on the cliff, and my body in mid-air flew forward, flying more than one meter away, and landed on the head of the first human figurine.
Before it could raise its halberd and swing it towards me, I stepped hard on the arm of the figurine holding the halberd with one foot, stomping it to a halt. At the same time, I took back the other foot that I had just kicked towards the cliff.
Kicked the figurine hard on the faceplate.
The human figurine was kicked by me with my whole body weight, and it was kicked backwards for more than half a meter, knocking down three or four human figurines following it, causing a small chaos.
