Chapter 170 Corpses in the Ice

When I walked up to the front and took a look, I was so frightened that I almost dropped the torch to the ground.

Hundreds of lotus flowers blocked the tomb passage in front, and what was even more horrifying was that there were layers and layers of corpses piled under those lotus flowers.

The posture of each corpse is extremely weird. Some are lying in a large shape, some are prone, and some are even covering their heads. Although each of them has a very weird posture, that one

The frozen faces all showed extremely frightened expressions, as if they had seen something terrible before they died!

And through further observation, I found that from the bottom of each lotus flower, many slender rhizomes spread out, and these rhizomes penetrated through the ice and penetrated deeply into the corpse.

It looks like these lotus flowers draw nutrients from corpses.

"Wow! So many corpses, it's so fun." Kathleen started counting again.

I ignored Kathleen and turned my attention directly to Ma Rulong. I wanted to see how Ma Rulong would react.

But what disappointed me was that apart from frowning, Ma Rulong had no other actions. Even the man in the suit seemed to be affected by Ma Rulong, staring at the pile of corpses without saying a word.

Seeing that they remained calm, I had no choice but to ask Zhang Sanpao.

"Sanpao, do you see any tricks?"

"Little boss, it's hard to say." Zhang Sanpao shook his head: "But according to me, these corpses should not have died normally..."

"Even fools can see it," Ma Rulong said disdainfully.

"No, I mean there doesn't seem to be any obvious trauma on their bodies."

This time Ma Rulong unexpectedly nodded: "Yes, they died very strangely."

After listening to the conversation between the two, I felt a little strange, so I went over and took a closer look. Sure enough, just as Zhang Sanpao said, although the corpses under the ice had strange shapes, they had no wounds at all.

, and there was no blood around it.

I immediately asked: "Since there were no external injuries, could they have been poisoned to death? After all, the white mist in the temple is poisonous."

"No, people who are poisoned will have their throats and faces turn black, and in worse cases, they will foam at the mouth. But you see, these corpses don't look poisoned at all. Instead, they seem to have been frightened before death!"

Ma Rulong said.

"Are they scared to death?" I asked.

"Those who can come here are all capable people. Have you ever seen so many master tomb robbers scared to death at the same time?" Ma Rulong shook his head and said.

Yes, what kind of tomb robbers have you never seen before? How could he be scared to death like a three-year-old child?

Just when I was puzzled, I saw Katherine playing with a dagger in the ice. Suddenly I remembered Katherine's previous joke, and my heart suddenly sank, and I felt that the air around me was...

It's unusually cold.

"Do you think the tomb owner used some means to deliberately freeze these people in the tomb passage? In fact, these people were not dead at all, but were made into big rice dumplings? As long as the ice melts, these rice dumplings will

He will be resurrected." I stammered.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can these things be resurrected?" The man in the suit cursed. After cursing, he picked up a mountaineering pick next to him and tried to break open the ice to see what was inside.

Seeing the man in the suit going crazy, Zhang Sanpao was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. Without thinking, he hugged the arm of the man in the suit that was holding the mountain pick, and said nervously: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, you can't do this!

If the pickaxe hits it, it will break the taboo of not touching the ice. Then we won't be able to escape even if we want to! Brother Feng..."

I saw that Zhang Sanpao's arms were shaking while holding the man in the suit. It was obvious that he was not faking.

"Get away!" The man in the suit seemed determined to break the ice and ignored Zhang Sanpao at all.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Ma Rulong's face sank: "Okay, no one should argue anymore, give me the fire."

"Mr. Ma." Seeing Ma Rulong suddenly asking for a torch, everyone was stunned. They had no idea what Ma Rulong was asking for a torch at this time. Wasn't the road ahead blocked by corpses, making it impossible to pass?

However, the man in the suit obediently handed over the steel torch.

"That's not it. What I want is gasoline. Give me all the spare gasoline in the package!" Ma Rulong ordered loudly.

After he said this, we finally understood what Ma Rulong meant. It turned out that Ma Rulong wanted to burn all these things with a fire.

At Ma Rulong's instruction, the man in the suit took out two small barrels of gel-like gasoline from the package, and started to pour it on the pile of corpses with a smile.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the colloidal gasoline that the man in the suit took out. Although this colloidal gasoline is not as flammable as ordinary gasoline, it is a real dangerous product, and magnesium powder is added to some colloidal gasoline, which will burn

It sounds more powerful than civilian soil bombs!

To put it bluntly, if the heat is not controlled, these two small barrels of gasoline are likely to burn down the tomb passage in front of you. Once the tomb passage collapses, everyone inside will surely die.

I didn't expect Ma Rulong to be so ruthless as to use such dangerous items in the tomb passage.

"Mr. Ma, you can't do that." Zhang Sanpao's eyes widened, and his legs were almost paralyzed with fear.

"I can't control that much anymore." Ma Rulong sighed and said, "It's not the problem of these dead bodies now. If I guessed correctly, the road ahead is already covered with lotus flowers! If we want to continue going to the tomb, we must put these lotus flowers away.

Eradicate them all, burning them is the only way."

"But we still have torches..." Zhang Sanpao said.

"Do you think torches can burn these lotus flowers to death?" Ma Rulong said angrily: "I have concluded that there is 100% problem with these lotus flowers. Those corpses in the ice are not big rice dumplings raised by the owner of the tomb at all, but those who died here over the years.

Tomb robbers. Have you ever seen a big rice dumpling wearing clothes from different eras? Humph, you are stupid, and I, Ma Rulong, am not stupid with you."

Ma Rulong's words were obviously meant to scold me, and my face turned red for a moment.

Yes, I didn't expect that I didn't even find such a simple problem.

Just when I was feeling extremely ashamed, Ma Rulong and the man in the suit had already poured all the gasoline into the pile of corpses. Then the man in the suit lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and threw the hot cigarette butt towards the gasoline.

The movements are clean and neat, without any sloppiness.

In an instant, the tomb passage in front of us was like a volcano erupting, a large ball of flames exploded, and countless sparks splashed up, which scared me so much that I quickly took a few steps back.

The bright red light illuminated the entire tomb passage.

As the fire burned bigger and bigger, the ice began to melt slowly, and even the bodies frozen in the ice slowly melted like wax figures, emitting countless black smoke.

But just when we thought that this fire could burn everything in front of us to ashes, a surprising scene appeared!

Except for the rhizomes that wrapped the corpse, those lotus flowers quickly retracted, and nothing else seemed to happen to them.

Instead, it emits a strange light under the firelight.
