Chapter five hundred and sixty murder in the dark
When I think of the situation where I was fighting with the sniper just now, I felt a headache. That thing was too difficult to deal with. With just a few of us, it might not be possible to kill it at all.
While I carefully observed the stone walls in the cave, I instructed Liu Shangang to ask him to put bullets on the sniper rifle.
Dawei then found that his sniper rifle was in the hands of Liu Shangang, but he just told Liu Shangang that the conventional bullets and armor-piercing bullets in his backpack were normal, and that it was best not to use armor-piercing in such tombs, as it would be easy to penetrate the rock formations and cause damage to the structure of the tomb.
I walked in front to explore the stone wall, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang followed me immediately behind. We spent an hour walking around the entire secret passage, but we didn't find any other entrances on the wall.
It seems that there is no other way to enter this secret passage.
After playing around, Liang Houzai stopped and frowned and said, "There are so many eggs in the cave, why would the sniper leave just by saying that? Before this, it should have been here for more than a thousand years, right?"
I said, "It may not have left, maybe it will be waiting for us in the tomb chamber now."
Liu Shangang interjected: "That monster has indeed left. I heard the footsteps of it leaving in the coffin just now. Oh, that can't be said to be the sound of footsteps, it seems to be moving away against the ground."
I looked over the coffin lid, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned with Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang.
It was already 2:30 in the morning when I met with Xian'er and the others. I leaned against the stone wall for an hour. It was not until three:30 that Xian'er woke me up and packed up my things and took everyone out of the secret passage.
When we arrived under the coffin lid of the black sarcophagus, we waited for nearly ten minutes. It was not until the hour hand on Liu Shangang's watch passed the fourth number that I waved to Senior Brother Geng and asked him to open the mechanism in the coffin.
Then, I, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, worked together to support the coffin lid, and at the same time, I used a fierce force to overturn it.
As soon as I opened the coffin, I smelled a very heavy smell of blood, mixed with a strong corpse stinking. I didn't think much about it at that time. After jumping out of the coffin, I came to the ground, I quickly pulled out the green steel sword and looked around vigilantly.
The tomb chamber is still the same as before, but what appeared in front of me was a bloody scene, with sniper's limbs and pieces of flesh everywhere. The huge wolf head fell near the lid of the coffin, and a large amount of blood with the smell of corpse flowed out from the broken corner of the neck.
The sniper seemed to have been torn to pieces by another stronger predator. Its flesh was as hard as steel and could not even penetrate the sniper rifle, but now it was torn to pieces by the whole!
After the others came out, they were also frightened by the scene in the tomb.
Xian'er and Luo Fei subconsciously came to me, and Liang Houzai stood next to the coffin, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Liu Shangang was the most calm one. He used a flashlight to illuminate the blood on the ground, carefully checked the location of the scattered meat, turned around and said to me, "After leaving the tomb, it was forcibly dragged back by something. There were traces of squeezing on the edge of the scattered meat, which should be the traces left by the biting molars."
I held up the fox fire lantern, and the light of the fox fire covered the entire tomb chamber, and the entire space was green. There were no other living creatures except us.
I asked Liu Shangang: "Which direction was the sniper dragged back?"
Liu Shangang thought for a while, pointed to the bronze wall on his left and said, "From this direction, there is no blood on the wall. When it is dragged back, there should be a road here."
Speaking of this, Liu Shangang looked at his watch and then reminded me: "It's four o'clock now, and there are fourteen minutes left before the next earthquake."
I nodded and looked at the bronze wall to Liu Shangang's right. There were three tomb passages of different shapes on the wall.
Originally, I planned to use a glass egg to measure the direction, but after Liu Shangang pierced a hole on the ground, no Yin Tang oozed out of it.
Before, I used the glazed egg to continuously detect the source of Yin Tang, so I barely found the right way. Later, I found this place with Liang Houzai's prompt. In theory, even if this tomb chamber is not the source of Yin Tang, it should be very close to the source, but why didn't Yin Tang seep out of the soil layer here?
Liang Houzai and I stared at the hole. After a while, he suddenly screamed: "It's bad, I'm wrong!"
His sudden throat scared me, and I asked him, "What's wrong?"
Liang Houzai: "Time, time is wrong. Now it is Jiaxu, not Guiyou. We should come out between 3:36 and 4:00!"
I was a little nervous at first, but when I heard that the time was wrong, the tension in my heart was instantly amplified. I subconsciously clenched the hilt of the Qinggang Sword and looked at Liang Houzai.
After pondering for a while, Liang Houzai said to me: "We have to continue waiting. After 7:36 in the morning, the tomb chamber can still be returned to the correct position..."
He stopped halfway through his words, and then he ran to the entrance of the tomb passage in panic and looked at the three tomb passages one by one.
After a while, he turned his head and shouted at me excitedly: "There is a word 'ugly' in this tomb passage, and it can return to the right position within an hour."
It has been a while since we came out, and the location of the entrance of the tomb passage will soon change. I did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately called everyone into the tomb passage.
Dawei had just woken up from a coma, his legs and feet were not very good. After everyone else went in, I carried him on my shoulders and rushed into the tomb passage.
Just as I entered the tomb passage, a clear "click" sound came from afar, and then the tomb chamber shocked, a large amount of dust fell from the entrance of the tomb passage, and the ground under my feet began to move quickly.
The ground was moving very fast. I didn't stand firmly and fell to the ground with Dawei on the spot.
During the movement, the ground in the tomb passage made no sound or tremor. The only thing that shocked was the tomb chamber behind us.
About three or four minutes before and after, the dust dissipated and the tomb chamber behind disappeared. It was replaced by another dark tomb passage, which was connected to the "ugly" tomb passage where we were, forming a square tomb passage that could not be seen at both ends.
But I remember, when I first came in, wasn’t the entrance of the tomb passage arched?
Liang Houzai looked at both ends of the tomb passage and said thoughtfully: "It seems that every long tomb passage is spliced out like this."
I said to Liang Houzai: "When I was walking in the tomb passage before, why didn't I find any changes in them?"
Liang Houzai thought about it and responded to me: "That should be because the path we are taking is correct most of the time. As long as we choose the right path, the tomb passage under our feet will not move within two hours. I really don't know how this tomb was built at the beginning. Such a project may be difficult to build even with today's technology."
I nodded in agreement, and then asked Liang Houzai: "How long should we wait here?"
Liang Houzai photographed Liu Shangang: "What time is it now?"
Liu Shangang looked at his watch: "It's not bad for four at half past four."
Liang Houzai turned around and said to me, "I have to wait for forty-two minutes."
Forty-two minutes was not too long, I breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the ground and waited quietly.
During these forty-two minutes, the tomb passage moved twice in total. After the first move, the tomb passage turned into a circle. During the second move, I tried to see the specific changes in the tomb passage. However, when the ground was moving quickly, I felt that the scenery in front of me suddenly became very blurred. When they became clear again, the tomb passage had become square.
After the second movement of the tomb passage, dust appeared behind us. When the dust disappeared, a small tomb chamber appeared in front of us.
I originally wanted to go into the tomb to take a look, but Liang Houzai grabbed me and said to me, "Brother Dao, we won't go in."
After saying that, he patted the dust on his body and pointed to the depths of the tomb passage, which meant that that was the right direction.
To be on the safe side, I still asked Liu Shangang to fire a shot. This time, Yin Tang soon oozed out of the soil and filled with holes made by bullets.
I soaked the glass eggs in Yin Tang, and the glass eggs slid for a distance towards the tomb chamber behind me. That direction was the direction of the source of the Yin Tang, and the exit of the tomb was in the opposite direction.
Putting away the glass eggs, I waved my hand and signaled everyone to move towards the depths of the tomb passage.
Liang Houzai said that if we want to leave the tomb at midnight tonight, we must control our footwork. When we enter the tomb, we arrived at Guihai position at 12 a.m. When we left, the structure of the tomb chamber was reset, and the reset time should be between 11:36 and 12 a.m. We must leave the last tomb chamber at 12 a.m. before we can return to the tomb passage we walked through when we entered the tomb.
I didn't understand what he said, only knowing that the tomb passage we walked on when we first entered the tomb was fixed, and that if we did not leave the last tomb chamber before twelve o'clock, we would have to wait for another whole day.
Along the way, we passed through nine tombs, which took more than seventeen hours. At around 10 o'clock in the evening, a strong anger appeared in the tomb passage. On the way that followed, this anger not only did not dissipate, but became stronger and stronger.
After entering the eighth tomb chamber, Liang Houzai first carved the word "Ren" on the ground, and then looked at the three tomb passages one by one.
Now, there is only the last half hour left before twelve o'clock in the morning. Liang Houzai looks worried. I look at the expression on his face, and I feel very nervous.
After a while, Liang Houzai's frowning suddenly relaxed. He smiled at me and said, "My inference should be correct, we should be able to get out."
After hearing what he said, I felt relieved.
Liang Houzai pointed to the entrance of a tomb with the word "Hai" engraved and said, "Come in first and wait."
I immediately turned around and waved to the people behind me, allowing them to enter the tomb passage.
After waiting in the tomb passage for a few minutes, the tomb chamber vibrated again. After the dust was flying, the tomb chamber with the black sarcophagus "Gui" appeared outside the tomb passage.
Liang Houzai rushed out immediately and looked at the other two tomb passages. I followed him into the tomb chamber and found that the sniper's meat was much less, and the wolf head, which was originally quite complete, was now eaten half of it.
It seems that the thing that attacked Zombie before should have come back after we left this tomb and had lunch or supper.
At this time, Liang Houzai pointed to the round tomb passage and said to me: "It's this tomb passage. Come in quickly. If I have not made any mistakes in the calculation, this oscillation should appear in advance."
