Chapter 28 One Hundred Meters Underground
Ye Shi and the others walked to the front.
It can be clearly seen that the material of this coffin is unusual, and the length and width are wider than ordinary coffins.
At a glance, it seems that it is about the size of an ordinary coffin, which is puzzling.
And Miss Yang continued to say,
"It says that they have developed a method of immortality, but the records say that only a few people can live forever with this kind of immortality technique."
"So the envoy did not inform the monarch of the Tang Dynasty about this matter, but used the method of immortality himself."
"And it is recorded above that two thousand years later, these immortal people, after spending a long period of ignorance, will wake up from their coffins and come back to the world."
When he said this, the speaker frowned, and the listeners also frowned.
[Are you having fun like this? It was really predicted by previous netizens that I rose from the coffin, right?]
[So, it’s been two thousand years, right? Could it be that the stone tablet refers to the present time? 】
[It’s hard, I’m so confused now that I even think there’s a real zombie about to jump out.]
Many people have put forward their own speculations, but after all, too much time has passed, and no one knows what this record means.
However, there are archeology professors who enlarged the screenshot of the stele and printed it out. After careful consideration, they found that the meaning was similar to what Ms. Yang said.
[Where’s Lao Ye, why didn’t he say a word? What does that mean?]
The fat man took a quick look and saw only some worthless stones, so he was not interested at all.
So he walked over, looked at Lao Hu who was mumbling something and shouted,
"Lao Hu, do we want to open the coffin?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Hu’s eyes were serious this time. He pointed at the powder falling next to the coffin and said,
"Brother, do you think these powders are after the snake sheds its skin and the snake skin weathers over a long period of time?"
"Think about the snake people we met before. Are those snake people the experimental subjects of the art of immortality?"
"Brother, let's open the coffin and see what's inside."
Ye Shi did feel a smell very similar to that of the snake man, so he nodded.
Then he said to the live broadcast room,
"When I came in, I was curious as to why there were living creatures, including snake-men, in this ancient city that had been buried for two thousand years."
"It's a pity that I didn't see any records about snake people along the way."
Ye Shi pointed at Lao Hu and the others who were preparing the tools to open the coffin, and said with a smile.
"But, it seems we can now guess the origins of those weird snake people outside."
"Although the records here are so mysterious, to be honest I don't really believe it, so I decided to open the coffin with Lao Hu."
A smile appeared on Ye Shi's lips: "Everyone, wait and see whether a big rice dumpling will pop out of the coffin this time, or a skeleton that has died long ago."
Lao Hu was also gearing up. He no longer felt it was important to conceal his identity. Instead, he was very curious about the answer to the mystery in front of him.
The three of them cleaned up, and the fat man actually walked to the southeast corner with a candle.
Then the fire lit up, leaving many people scratching their heads.
At this time, Ye Shi stood in front of the live broadcast drone and explained,
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps"
"Light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb. This is a condition for opening the coffin. If the candle goes out, it means there is a ghost in the tomb."
Ye Shi's tone combined with the gloomy scene next to him scared people to the core.
Miss Yang looked at Ye Shi inexplicably, as if she was surprised that he even knew this.
[People light candles and ghosts blow out lamps. The atmosphere of adventure suddenly arises. No, I suddenly feel a little cold.]
[Golden Mouse: This is a bit mysterious, but according to my scientific speculation, this habit should have a lot to do with the oxygen in the tomb]
[Golden Mouse: Modern archaeologists no longer use this method. If you want to test whether there is oxygen underground, you can also put living animals. For example, the tomb robbers in the past used live chickens and ducks. It is no different from lighting candles, but What the anchor said was very scary]
[Thousand Miles Away: I also agree with what the Golden Retriever said, but I want to ask, what if the candle's fire turns green...? 】
[Xiaoshu: Listen to me, thank you, because of you...]
The moment the candle changes color is also the moment Lao Hu opens the shop.
Both happen at the same time.
Ye Shi suddenly turned around and noticed the color of the candle, and shouted,
"Lao Hu, back off!"
But this sound was a bit late, because the big guy inside had already emerged.
Lao Hu looked at the big snake, or half-human, half-snake monster, emerging from the coffin, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly threw the engineer shovel forward.
Then he saw the monster grinning ferociously, and the engineer shovel didn't even break his fur.
The monster even raised half of its body from the coffin, and with one tug, it was about to throw Lao Hu into the ghost cave.
At this moment, Ye Shi suddenly stepped forward and swung the nephrite whip in his hand. The scorching gas and internal force attached to it struck him, leaving a whip mark on the opponent's body.
And Lao Hu, who was supposed to fall into the ghost cave, was caught by him. The rope originally used to fall was swung and wrapped around Lao Hu's body several times.
The monster attack is coming.
"We really dug out the ancestor of the Snake Man, right? Old Hu, are you okay?"
The fat man yelled.
And Ye Shi had already swung the nephrite whip in his hand, and started fighting the monster with the powerful internal force in his palm.
boom
The internal force in Ye Shi's hand was so strong that he swung the nephrite whip and directly split the coffin made of special material into two halves.
Then the monster's appearance became more and more ferocious.
It was chattering and I didn’t know what it was talking about.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand, took out a long knife from the half-broken coffin, and struck directly at Ye Shi.
Sonorous
This monster is also extremely poisonous, and there is a special viscous liquid in the coffin where it lies.
When the coffin shattered and the liquid flowed out, everyone discovered that the liquid was highly corrosive.
The ground was eroded into ravines.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The fat man had seen Ye Shi's eyes and had climbed up along the rope.
At this time, Lao Hu was also pulled up.
Several people stood on top, watching Ye Shi fight alone, a little anxious.
But I felt that going down by myself was really holding people back.
[I really won the lottery, and a big rice dumpling was revealed after I opened the coffin. I think I have been in a family of tomb robbers for hundreds of years. I have never seen anything so outrageous in all these years. This is really an eye-opener]
[Let’s just say that there is no technology for immortality. If there is, I declare that I will summon the Ancestral Dragon and the Second Phoenix]
[No wait, there is a family of tomb robbers? Then my eyes were opened]
[This snake man is probably more than three meters tall, and looks like a giant. I never expected that the longevity technique recorded on the stone tablet turned out to be like this]
[Look, Lao Ye just kicked the big rice dumpling down]
[Ye Shen: You didn’t expect the big zongzi, I can fly, hehe]
I saw that Ye Shi's internal energy was lifted up, and he took a slight step, as if he had taken a few steps in the void.
The snake-man transformed by the Tang Dynasty envoy fell straight into the ghost cave.
As soon as Ye Shi's afterimage appeared, he returned to the platform.
This one has lived for two thousand years...
Ye Shi didn't know what to call him for a moment, so he simply called him snake demon.
This snake demon is indeed a snake demon that has lived for two thousand years, and it seems that due to its origin, its skills and consciousness are even more outrageous than ordinary snake people.
So much so that modern people like Ye Shi, who relied solely on their internal strength for thousands of years to survive, were a little unable to bear it.
Fortunately, the snake demon was finally sent down.
Ye Shi also took the time to look at the ghost cave and felt that if there was really another world down there, it would be quite interesting for the snake demon to run there.
He didn't need to look at it to know that the barrage must be full of worry, so he waved his hand.
"don’t worry"
[Shit, Lao Ye, stop waving, look behind you! 】
[When I saw the snake monster crawling up from behind Lao Ye, I chose to die where I was]
The barrage was extremely anxious, and Lao Hu and Fatty's pupils suddenly shrank, and then they shouted loudly.
As soon as Ye Shi waved his hand, he felt a chill on his back.
click
Ye Shi instantly kicked up the coffin underground, and all the internal energy in his body surged out, naturally carrying the snake demon with the evil spirit of heaven.
The heat in his palms was like a furnace.
bang
Then he blasted out the coffin and the snake demon.
He fell far away and was swallowed by the boundless ghost hole.
"call"
At this moment, those watching the live broadcast and those at the scene couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, little brother is fine"
"It really scared me to death just now."
Several people slipped down.
Lao Hu looked a little apologetic: "Brother, we didn't help..."
Ye Shi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say anything.
"I didn't expect that a snake demon really jumped out of the coffin, but this also shows that the so-called immortality skills are all fake."
Ye Shi explained to the camera.
"It is also said that there is another world under the ghost cave. Maybe the two thousand years of old monsters have gone to another world."
Ye Shi was still in high spirits and was not affected at all by what had just happened.
[This big heart is worthy of Lao Ye, who else?]
[But Lao Ye is right. Basilisks have appeared in the past two thousand years, so there may not be another world under the ghost cave]
[Hey, am I the only one who thought of time travel? I also want to see another world.]
"Although the stone tablet here has solved some questions, more questions have arisen."
"Old Hu said there might be a second or third floor below, so I decided to go down there and have a look."
After he finished speaking, he asked several people to drive nails into the stone wall together. He could also drive several nails together, and then wrap the nylon rope around it several times.
Ye Shi just took the rope and jumped down.
The live broadcast drone was still following Ye Shi, but this scene was too scary.
Lao Hu felt that it was inappropriate to continue like this. He thought about it and didn't know what method to use.
After Ye Shi went down for a while, he also went down.
"I'm afraid that my brother will have an accident, so I want to go down a distance first."
"I saw that when I was flying in the air before, I seemed to need a point of support. If there is no point of stress later, I could step on me."
There are also live broadcast drones here.
Many netizens were moved when they saw this scene.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Lao Hu, they are really good people. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do this]
[Yeah, I knew how powerful Brother Ye was, but I still chose to help Brother Ye to the best of my ability]
[You see, the fat guy who likes to argue the most didn't say anything. He was still muttering just now. Otherwise, the two of them would go down together, but they were persuaded by Lao Hu to come back. I apologize for the tinted glasses I wore before]
[Fatty: In fact, I really didn't offend anyone. Although I love money, I also listened to what Lao Hu and the little brother said]
[I decided to scold the fat guy less for a second]
Ye Shi came down along the rope. He calculated the distance and continued to go down 30 meters, but he still didn't see the second platform.
He hesitated for a while.
Fortunately, he was climbing down along the stone wall. The gecko wall-climbing skill was almost like a divine skill in this place.
It wasn't until he went down 40 meters that Ye Shi found the second platform.
And it was already surprisingly cold here.
So much so that frost could be seen everywhere.
[Why do I have a sense of déjà vu of exploring the secrets of the White Bone Dragon Pond? Is it reasonable that it's so cold down here? ]
[Golden Hair Shell: Reasonable. It gets colder and colder whether you go up or down, not to mention that you are going under the desert.]
[This ghost cave is really deep, and it is just like what Lao Hu said. There is a second stone platform, but if there is a second one, there is a third one. The second one is so deep, the third one will not be a hundred meters underground, right? Too scary]
[I feel that this can apply for the ninth wonder of the world. How did such a project come about two thousand years ago? I can't understand it]
[Two thousand years ago, people even came up with genetic engineering (referring to snake people). Compared with this, building a platform a hundred meters underground is just a piece of cake]
Ye Shi landed on the second platform again.
Then he heard the ding sound again, and the system strengthened the live broadcast drone again.
Now he has three live broadcast drones here, two of which are on top.
There was a dark fog in front of him, and Ye Shi's eyes couldn't see through the black fog to see what was inside the black fog.
But,
click
Ye Shi's hand suddenly lit up. This was the high-tech searchlight that the system had just rewarded. The energy contained in it could be used for thousands of years.
And the light wave has a very strong penetrating ability.
When the light came on, Ye Shi could see clearly what was in front of him.
There were actually three coffins here.
But unlike the coffins above, the coffins here were of ordinary size.
The live broadcast room was still guessing who lived in these three coffins.
And those archaeology professors were also like chicken blood, full of energy, discussing and checking information.
Ye Shi continued to move forward, and suddenly, he heard a ding ding ding sound.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for increasing the exploration of the Jingjue Ancient City map by 15%..."
