When the cock crowing light goes out, there will be a catastrophe when the coffin is opened! ”
However, the members of the archaeological team looked at each other in dismay.
This statement is a bit too superstitious, isn’t it?
After seeing those luminous pearls, Da Jinya couldn’t wait to see the grave goods in the coffin. Hearing this, he immediately said:
“Your rules are to touch gold, we are for archaeology, the essence is different, so the rules are not dead!”
Professor Wu also nodded and said to Yang Xueli:
“This… comrade, although I don’t know why this is.
But, after all, the purpose of our visit is to explore the tomb, if so, wouldn’t we be unable to investigate all the coffins we encountered later? ”
Professor Wu looked at Hu Bayi and the others dignifiedly. He knew that this team had unusual strength, so he always attached great importance to their words.
But this light can’t be turned off. Professor Wu really can’t think of any scientific reason for this.
But just as Professor Wu was thinking, suddenly, a strange sound came.
“Moo!”
In an instant, the expressions of Hu Bayi and the others changed.
They were all too familiar with this voice:
“Dragon call?”
Everyone’s eyes are now focused on the two stone dragons…
Chapter 209: The Gate of Life in Despair
Shi Long actually made a cry, which made everyone stunned.
“what happened?”
“You heard that too?”
“Why is Shilong called?”
The members of the archaeological team whispered about this strange scene, and Hu Bayi and a few others also looked solemn.
“Wow…”
At this moment, the two stone dragons opened their mouths, and there was a silver-white shiny heavy liquid flowing out.
This heavy liquid flowed into the bronze container on the ground from the mouth of the stone dragon, more and more…
“No, it’s mercury!”
Chen Wenjin immediately reminded:
“This is a closed environment. Once a large amount of mercury appears, it will evaporate, and it will be highly toxic after inhalation!”
Chen Wenjin’s words made everyone feel a little flustered. After all, mercury is extremely volatile, and in this closed environment, it is very easy to be poisoned.
Watching this scene, Wu Sangou calmly analyzed:
“It seems that these two stone dragons are actually the place where mercury is stored.
After the mechanism was activated, the airflow gushed out and formed a sound in the Shilong cavity, which is the cry we heard.
Judging from the flow rate of mercury, the storage volume is definitely not small, either close it as soon as possible, or we have to leave quickly! ”
“rustle……”
At this moment, a small sound came, and everyone who was nervous was startled.
Wu Sangou immediately locked the source of the sound, looked over, and said solemnly:
“There is something in the coffin!”
When the voice fell, the dense black bugs crawled out from the rope connecting the coffin and quickly climbed up along the red line.
At this time, the red line spreading over the top of the head was really like a spider web, and there were dense black bugs crawling out of each coffin.
“Master dog, what is this?”
Hu Ba asked in astonishment for a while, but Wu Sangou shook his head solemnly:
“I’m not an encyclopedia. This thing is very evil. If you want me to tell you, we have to get out of here quickly.”
No need for Wu Sangou to say it, everyone knows it.
As soon as the mercury is poured into the container continuously, it is highly toxic after it starts to evaporate.
Coupled with this strange bug, it will soon be covered with red lines. If it falls, it will be enough for everyone to drink a pot.
The members of the archaeological team all looked at Professor Wu, apparently wanting to let Professor Wu have an idea.
After a brief thought, Professor Wu said immediately:
“Quick, find another exit and get out of here!”
The team members temporarily gave up the idea of opening the coffin to investigate, and immediately dispersed to look for an exit in the entire hall.
But the strange thing is that this place seems to be completely blocked, except for the place where a few people came in, there is no other exit at all.
This place seems to be designed to attract trespassers, and to keep trespassers here forever.
After some exploration, the team members panicked.
You must know that there are a large number of red fire scale pythons outside Shimen. If they go out like this, they will not be able to save their lives.
But there is no other exit here, isn’t it in a dead end?
Just as the team members were increasingly anxious to explore, Hu Bayi once again took out the compass and looked at it.
Then, he suddenly stopped, raised his head from time to time, and looked down at the compass, as if he was confirming something.
The members of the exploration team soon came to Hu Bayi’s side and said solemnly:
“I checked and found no mechanism. The mercury spit out by Shilong is a mechanism, but it can’t be closed at all. There are more and more black bugs on the top of the head, and it has begun to gradually fall down!”
Wu Sangou sighed helplessly:
“I even let Qilin take a good look at it. I can’t even use the master key. It seems that this place is really a dead end!”
However, Hu Bayi kept looking at the compass in his hand, and the expression on his face was a rare doubt:
“Why does the compass show that there is a gate of life here, and it is very close to the dragon veins…”
“what?”
As soon as Hu Bayi said this, the members of the exploration team were puzzled.
“Lieutenant, where is the student gate you’re talking about?”
Yang Xueli asked in surprise.
Hu Bayi made sure of it again and again, and just now he stretched out his hand and pointed to the bronze vessel between the two stone dragons.
Several people glanced at each other, and then they covered their mouths and noses, and walked towards the bronze container that had been filled with nearly half of the mercury.
Seeing this, Professor Wu and the others immediately felt very puzzled.
“What are they doing, staying away from there, and even taking the initiative to go there?
There must have been some volatilization now, and if you inhale too much, it will be poisoned! ”
As Chen Wenjin spoke hastily, she was about to step forward to stop it.
But before taking a few steps, a slight dizziness came.
Thanks to Yingzi for supporting Chen Wenjin, just as he was about to ask, a disgusting feeling emerged.
“No, we already have signs of poisoning!”
Seeing this, Professor Wu immediately said:
“Everyone covers their mouths and noses, reduces their breathing as much as possible, and seizes the time to find a way!”
Even the archaeological team members who were far away had some slight reactions, not to mention the few people who had come to the bronze container at this time.
The most terrifying part of this mercury is that it has no taste. Once poisoning is found, it means that a lot of toxins have accumulated in the body.
Wu Sangou quickly took out a few spells from the treasure chest:
“This is an exorcism talisman, which can dispel poison gas in a short period of time.
But time is tight, don’t stay too long, let alone touch the mercury! ”
Several people quickly put on the spell, and their instinctive breathing seemed to slow down a lot. It seemed that an invisible barrier was formed around several people to prevent the invasion of poisonous gas.
Zhang Qilin rejected the exorcism talisman, this toxin would not affect him.
Several people checked around the bronze container for a long time and found nothing special.
But after Hu Bayi confirmed it many times, the compass still pointed to this position.
This time, several people are a little confused.
There must be a reason why the compass points here frequently, but what is the reason?
Zhang Qilin looked around solemnly, and his eyes gradually fell on Shilong on the right.
Immediately afterwards, as if he had discovered something, Zhang Qilin walked to the stone dragon and looked into its mouth.
You must know that there is still a steady stream of mercury flowing out of Shilong’s mouth at this time, that is, Zhang Qilin. If it was someone else, he would never dare to approach it rashly.
Immediately afterwards, even Hu Bayi and a few people were surprised to see that Zhang Qilin stretched his hand into the stone dragon.
Quicksilver immediately covered Zhang Qilin’s arm, and the members of the archaeological team widened their eyes.
“Is he crazy? Mercury is poisonous!”
Aning watched this scene in astonishment, but because of the overreaction, the dizziness became aggravated.
But then, Zhang Qilin exerted a little force.
“Crack!”
Immediately afterwards, where Wu Sangou stood, just behind the bronze vessel, a letterpress was opened.
