"Of course you can. You have helped the institute so much. It can be seen that you also care about the archaeological field. I will keep this secret for you!"
Song Ying's tone was solemn, obviously she was certain that Su Chen was the legendary Taoist who moved mountains, and he came here to find Muchen Bead!
Chapter 95 Gourd Cave, Dead Drift
The next day!
After a night's rest, Chen Jianbing and the others were in high spirits.
After washing up, Zheng Xuan couldn't wait to find Su Chen and asked if the stone toad had been untied.
Su Chen gathered everyone together and explained: "These stone toads are set in the order of the nine-turn loop, and they must be turned to the correct position in a specific order before the mechanism will open!"
"If you make a wrong turn, the mechanism inside the organ will be stuck!"
"I need you to cooperate with my instructions, be careful not to make mistakes!"
Everyone agreed in unison.
It has been several days since I decided to come to present the king's tomb, and I have experienced many thrilling things.
Zheng Xuan and the others also wanted to go to the tomb of King Xian to see how extravagant King Xian was thousands of years ago.
After hearing Su Chen's words, they all became serious, and stood in front of the stone toad one by one as instructed.
Su Chen nodded, and then asked a few people to turn the stone toad according to the order deduced last night.
After the nine stone toads were all turned to the correct position, Su Chen stopped.
Everyone waited for a while, but nothing unusual happened.
Xiao Zhuang couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't help asking: "Professor Xiao Su, did you make a wrong turn? Why is there nothing?"
"It's impossible to make a wrong turn!"
Su Chen was sure that the order he calculated according to the sixteen-character yin-yang feng shui secret technique was correct.
He frowned and carefully recalled the plot of Hu Bayi and the others in the original book.
Only then did I remember that the organ corresponding to the stone toad was not in the mountain temple.
It's at the red gourd outside the temple!
This is also the cleverness of the ancestors of Zhelong Mountain who built the mountain temple. The organs are set in the deepest part of the mountain temple, next to the mountain.
It will make the intruders mistakenly think that the agency is somewhere in the mountain temple!
After finding something wrong, turn the stone toad again, and if it makes three mistakes, the mechanism will fail.
But in fact, the real mechanism channel is counter-intuitively set outside the mountain temple!
Thinking of this episode, Su Chen quickly waved: "I understand, the agency is not here, you follow me!"
With that said, he led the crowd away from the mountain temple and came to the red gourd that he passed by yesterday!
I saw that this stone red gourd, which was as tall as a person, was split from both sides, revealing a small hole underneath.
Under the small hole, there is a copper ring!
Seeing this scene, Chen Jianbing and the others couldn't help being amazed.
"I didn't expect this mechanism to be so ingeniously set up. Most people really can't think of it. The opportunity is actually on the way!"
"Professor Xiao Su, what should we do now?"
Su Chen bent down, grabbed the copper ring and lifted it up.
The huge stone slab at the entrance of the small cave was slowly pulled away, revealing a step leading to the ground.
When Su Chen saw the steps, he said, "Everyone, pack up your equipment and set off in 10 minutes!"
……
This hole leads to the interior of the mountain behind the mountain temple, and its structure is similar to a lying gourd.
In addition to baby monsters, there are Huo's undead worms... and other dangerous monsters!
Su Chen had been prepared for this long ago, and she would like to drink a lot of money and drink a cup of wine.
As for Huo's Undead Worm, Hu Bayi and the others can use explosives to solve it.
This time, Su Chen specially asked Chen Jianbing and the others to carry more than a dozen high-explosive grenades with them. Not to mention Huo's Undead Worm, even that mountain-sized Tai Sui couldn't withstand the explosion of more than a dozen high-explosive grenades at the same time!
With everything ready, the team officially descends into the cave!
After walking through a section of steps tens of meters long, relying on the lights, everyone saw a burial ditch!
In the sacrificial ditch, countless animal bones were buried.
One of the most striking is the skeleton of a complete elephant.
Extending all the way to the depths of the sacrificial burial ditch, the people who watched it clicked their tongues.
"My God, there are so many complete elephant bones, how many there must be!"
Xiao Zhuang exclaimed, counting the elephant bones in the sacrificial ditch with surprise on his face.
All the way to the end of the sacrificial ditch, he also counted a total of 48 elephant carcasses!
"48 elephant bones, judging by the length of those tusks, these elephants should all be adult elephants!"
"Xian Wang is really extravagant, let 48 elephants be buried for himself!"
Ivory is very precious both in ancient and modern times.
Of course, buying and selling ivory is prohibited in modern times.
However, the tusks of each of the 48 elephant bones were intact.
The length has reached more than one meter.
But what made Song Ying puzzled was that the elephant bones in the sacrificial ditch were half buried in the soil and half exposed!
If one can be understood, but every skeleton is set up like this, which is a bit unusual.
Thinking of this, Song Ying quickly asked Su Chen about her doubts.
"I don't know the specific reason, but let me guess, it may be because King Xian wants to ascend to immortality, and he thinks that if he becomes immortal, he can also bring these elephants to heaven. That's why these elephant bones are half buried, waiting for his call!"
Su Chen's explanation was Hu Bayi's guess.
The specific truth may only be known by King Xian, who has died for thousands of years.
In addition, in addition to the remains of elephants, there are bones of other small animals in the sacrificial pit, and there are even more bones of tigers and leopards.
I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred!
Smaller ones, because of their age, it is hard to tell what kind of animal bones they are.
While everyone was discussing in low voices, they had already walked through the hundreds of meters long sacrificial ditch and came to the second entrance.
The hole is so narrow that only one person can pass through it.
But the space inside the cave is very wide, and when the flashlight shines through it, you can't even see the end at all.Roughly estimated, I am afraid it is no less than two or three kilometers.
"Our current location should be deep in the mountain. I didn't expect there to be such a big hole under this mountain!"
"Whatever, it's already here, let's go and have a look first!"
Xiaozhuang picked up his rifle and went straight into the cave.
But just two steps away, he let out an exclamation.
"Damn it, it stinks!"
Xiaozhuang hurried back, lifted the sole of the shoe to have a look, and found that the sole was stained with black water stains, and there was an unpleasant rotten smell faintly.
He secretly screamed unlucky, looked back, only to find that almost all of his companions were wearing gas masks without exception.
Su Chen smiled, and said through the communication system in the mask: "Don't be dazed, put on the mask, we're going to swim across this dark river."
After speaking, several people entered the cave one by one.
Xiao Zhuang shook his head, ignoring the rotten smell, put on his gas mask and walked in.
The water in this dark river is slightly black, but fortunately it is not too deep.
After walking for dozens of meters, they just barely reached the waist of a few people.
During the swim, none of the group spoke, only the rush of water.
However, at this moment.
Xiao Zhuang who was walking behind suddenly froze, and whispered in the communicator: "Zheng Xuan, why are you grabbing my leg, stop making trouble!"
"I didn't grab your leg!"
Zheng Xuan was taken aback, and retorted: "Besides, I'm in front of you, and I'm grabbing your leg!"
"Are you in front of me?"
"Didn't you still walk behind me just now? It wasn't you who grabbed my leg. Who was that?"
When he said the last few words, Xiao Zhuang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He and Zheng Xuan were at the end just now, since Zheng Xuan had already gone to the front.
Then behind him is...
Chapter 96 Golden Scale Armor, Huo's Undead Worm
moment!
Xiaozhuang only felt a gust of cold air coming out of his spine, piercing through the sky!
His head was stiff, and he turned his head slowly to look.
I saw a female corpse covered in plain onyx floating on the water, grabbing his trouser legs!
Moreover, there was a faint blue light emitting from the body of the female corpse, which was extremely strange.
"Mom!"
Xiao Zhuang was so frightened that he fled away like flying!
Chen Jianbing and Li Guoqiang's eyes were fixed, and they raised their rifles at the same time!
However, the female corpse was still floating on the water, and nothing unusual happened!
Chen Jianbing bravely walked over, observed carefully for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not a zombie! This female corpse is covered with something like wax, which is similar to the figurines I saw before."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Song Ying on the side showed doubts, and after carefully observing the female corpse for a while, said: "Look, why is the posture of this female corpse so strange? Also, look at her stomach!"
The surface of this female corpse seemed to be covered with a layer of amber.
The most tingling thing was that her hands and feet were broken and twisted out of shape.
Moreover, the belly of the female corpse was bulging, as if she was pregnant in October.
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Su Chen sighed, and said softly, "You are right, this female corpse was indeed pregnant!"
Hearing Su Chen's words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little terrified.
However, the crueler is yet to come!
"This kind of baby is an extremely cruel and vicious Gu insect technique."
"The performer needs to implant worm eggs in the woman's body when she is just pregnant, and then when she is about to give birth, break off the woman's limbs alive and seal them in this kind of beeswax."
"Endless pain will torment a pregnant woman and transmit her grievances to the world!
"Wait until you're poor and poor, how can you be strong? If you don't know how to do it, you can still think about it.
With these words, everyone present was stunned!
The cruelty of Xian Wang has surpassed their cognition!
Let the pregnant woman die of pain in the beeswax, one corpse and two lives, just for the sake of nurturing
Such cruelty and viciousness are appalling!
Thinking of this, Song Ying showed discomfort, don't turn her head and couldn't bear to look at the female corpse.
