Seeing Li Si leading the remaining sea monkeys away, Hu Bayi carefully pulled Wang Kaixuan into the main hall.

The decoration in the main hall is very similar to what I have encountered before. Apart from the sarcophagus and small fountains and channels, there are only some sundries such as ceramics and food brought in by the sea monkeys.

Hu Bayi also found that the black python he had killed before had also been skinned, and several sections of the snake's body had been eaten.

It seems that these sea monkeys are the overlords in the tomb and can go anywhere.

Hu Bayi sighed inwardly, and without wasting time, he opened the three sides of the sarcophagus one by one, and found a secret compartment in the rightmost sarcophagus.

"Sure enough, there is a passage."

After making a mark outside the sarcophagus, Hu Bayi pulled Wang Kaixuan into the sarcophagus.

But the secret passage under the sarcophagus was like a vertical slide. As soon as the two entered, they exclaimed and slid down the cold rock wall.

"Be careful, fat man!"

Hu Bayi discovered that there were spikes spitting out from both sides of the passage, and quickly pulled Wang Kaixuan and curled up together.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the two of them slipped smoothly into an open area.

Hu Bayi turned on a weak flashlight and observed. It was narrow all around and there was a circular altar in the middle.

The temperature here is so low that when you exhale next to the light, it instantly turns into a cloud of white mist.

Before Hu Bayi could observe his surroundings, he heard Wang Kaixuan shout: "Old Hu, this altar seems to be made of cement."

"How could there be cement in the Ming Dynasty?"

Hu Bayi's first impression was that he didn't believe it, but when he came to the altar and looked carefully, hey, it was really made of cement.

It’s strange how modern buildings appeared in the undersea tombs of the Ming Dynasty.

The two are incompatible with each other.

Hu Bayi sensed something was wrong and said quickly: "Fat man, wait here while I go take a look nearby."

With that said, Hu Bayi disappeared with the only flashlight he had. Sitting on the altar, Wang Kaixuan could see the faint flashlight light in the darkness and was not afraid.

Suddenly, a black withered hand stretched out from the circular hole in the middle of the altar and grabbed Wang Kaixuan tightly.

The black hands were covered with overlapping scales and were extremely strong. Wang Kaixuan was instantly pulled into the altar hole.

"Lao Hu, save me!"

Fortunately, the opening of the altar was small, but Wang Kaixuan's frame was large, so his body was stuck outside.

Hu Ba rushed over after hearing the sound. Seeing that the fat man was about to be pulled into the altar, he quickly stepped forward to help him.

Perhaps sensing resistance, the scaly black hand suddenly relaxed and retracted into the hole.

"Lao Hu, luckily you came quickly, you scared me to death." Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Bayi shined his flashlight into the dark altar cave and vaguely saw a black shadow flickering, then disappearing.

"Fat man, what's going on?"

"I don't know either. I was sitting on the altar and I felt a hand suddenly pulling me..."

Hu Bayi thought for a while and said: "It's not safe here. I found the road ahead. Let's set off."

"Just the two of us? Don't wait for Wu San to save them?"

"No wait, there are so many sea monkeys waiting outside. I'm afraid they won't be able to get in in a short time. Let's explore the way first."

Hu Bayi helped Wang Kaixuan up and found that a large hole had been ripped out of the clothes on his back.

What is it in the altar cave that is so powerful?

After thinking about it, Hu Bayi still made an arrow mark on the altar to indicate that there was danger in the round hole of the altar.

After leaving the altar, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came to an ear room.

The space in the ear room is not large, and the surrounding walls are covered with murals that are almost peeling off.

One of the relatively complete murals shows a Ming Dynasty official inspecting the construction site, and there are many craftsmen in simple clothes carrying building materials such as stone, sand, and wood.

The mural seems to be telling the process of building the undersea tomb.

Hu Bayi was looking at the murals intently, but Wang Kaixuan focused on the burial ceramics in the ear room.

These ceramics are shaped like vases, but are larger than ordinary vases and have a bluish-white appearance.

Wang Kaixuan doesn't understand cultural relics, he only thinks that the bigger things are, the more valuable they are.

Now there are only him and Lao Hu, maybe they can hide some treasures privately.

After Wang Kaixuan had his own thoughts, he picked through the ceramic jars, trying to find one that was small and exquisite, preferably one that could be put in a backpack and not easily noticed.

Boom!

Suddenly a piece of ceramic turned sideways and rolled on the ground.

Hu Bayi turned his flashlight over: "Fat man, be honest and don't touch things randomly."

Wang Kaixuan was confused. He didn't touch the pot. Why did the pot move on its own?

After experiencing so many things along the way, Wang Kaixuan also became alert. He took small steps and approached the overturned jar, wanting to see what mystery was inside.

Suddenly, a black head emerged from the jar, its facial features hidden in the shadows and frighteningly blurry.

Wang Kaixuan was suddenly startled: "Old Hu!"

"What happened again?"

Hu Bayi turned his head, followed Wang Kaixuan's gaze, and froze on the spot.

The two of them held their breath, not daring to breathe.

I saw the head in the jar moving, and its slender limbs seemed to be foldable, and it slowly crawled out of the jar.

His whole body was as black as a stick of wood holding a child's head.

Hu Bayi has already taken out his pistol. As long as the monster in front of him moves, he will shoot without hesitation.

But the Kuchai Minotaur ignored the two of them and walked out of the ear room in a big way in front of them.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the monster's back and trembled: "Old Hu, what on earth is this?"

"I don't know, I'm not human anyway."

As soon as Hu Ba saw the dead wood head monster walking away, he told Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, please check the pot again to make sure there is nothing left in it."

Wang Kaixuan said with a bitter face: "Old Hu, how can I check if I don't have a flashlight? If another monster pops out, my heart won't be able to bear it."

"Light a candle. Didn't you get two candles from San Sheng?"

Under the candlelight, Wang Kaixuan took a wooden stick from nowhere and poked it among the bottles and jars.

"Solid, dear, Lao Hu, there is another one here."

"Squeak!"

A deadwood man-headed monster was found, but it seemed dissatisfied with Wang Kaixuan who stabbed him, and rushed towards him.

"Old Hu!"

Hu Ba had been staring at the situation here all morning, stopped in front of Wang Kaixuan, and kicked the Kuchai monster away.

Hu Bayi's strength is not small. After the Kuchai human-headed monster hit the wall, it screamed.

When I looked again, I saw that it had been broken into pieces, and the head and the dry wood-like torso were completely separated.

I didn’t expect this thing to look so ridiculous, but it looks good.

After Hu Bayi walked in and observed carefully, he found that the Kuchai human-headed monster seemed to be spliced ​​together.

Could it be that this undersea tomb is a biological laboratory of ancient people? Why are there so many weird things encountered along the way?

After that, Wang Kaixuan continued to check the situation inside the jar. He learned a lesson and put the jar upside down first, and then knocked on the bottom. As long as there was a deadwood monster inside, it would be driven out.

In the end, there were seven or eight dead wood monsters hidden in dozens of bottles and jars.

These dead wood head monsters have different personalities. Some are as timid as mice and run away when they see people, while others are hot-tempered and highly aggressive.

Hu Bayi didn't get used to it either. Anyone who dared to attack them would have their bones crushed to pieces.

After finishing the work, Wang Kaixuan stuffed the exquisite small porcelain bottle he had just spotted into his backpack, while Hu Bayi was concentrating on interpreting the information on the last mural and did not notice Wang Kaixuan's small movements.

Hu Bayi concentrated slightly, immersed in the murals, unable to describe it in words. This was a palace floating in the sky, with clouds and mist lingering below the palace. The builders of the palace stood on the ground, looking up into the sky, and beside them

There is a Taoist on a mountain, smiling contentedly.

"Lao Hu, what are you looking at? You are so absorbed." Wang Kaixuan came over carrying a black bag.

"Don't cause trouble."

Hu Bayi slapped Wang Kaixuan's big hand away and saw a line of small words on the mural.

"Yunding Tiangong!"

Is this the name of the palace?

Hu Bayi frowned slightly and hurriedly recorded the important information on the mural.
