Chapter 187 Adaptation Before Death
Murong Xue looked back at Qiao Zhen.
"You mean...my ancestor didn't die before he went to the tomb, and he lived here for a while?"
Not to mention Murong Xue's surprised expression, even Lin Sisi at the side felt incredible.
How can there be such a stupid person in this world, he went to the tomb to familiarize himself with the environment before he died?
Besides, what is he planning to live in such a dark place?
"If you don't believe me, you can take a look!" Qiao Zhen walked to where the pot was.
After he opened the pot, he barked for a while, and said with a smile, "Did you find it? The sand and stones in this place are a little finer, and their hardness is no better than other sand and stones."
"Although so many years have passed, because the sand and gravel have been burned by the fire for a long time, the sand and gravel have become crisp and even finer."
"If you think about it like this... I guess... he should have lived here for nearly a year. The sand underneath is glassy, just like the principle of glass manufacturing. After being baked at high temperature, the sand The stone will turn into glass, just like... the ones in front of you!"
After Qiao Zhen's words fell, Murong Xue and Lin Sisi's eyes widened.
"Then he... went back to the main tomb and lay down by himself?" Lin Sisi asked.
Qiao Zhen laughed and said: "Accordingly, it should be like this, but it can't be ruled out that there may be some problems in the middle, which caused him not to go back to the main tomb!"
"If we want to know the answer, I'm afraid we still have to go in the direction of the main tomb. As for why he went down to the tomb early to adapt to the environment, we can either ask him himself, or... just see if there are any clues left."
Hearing Qiao Zhen's explanation, Lin Sisi couldn't help rolling her eyes.
How about asking him?
Pull him up and ask?
That's a dead person, it's fine if he doesn't speak, but if he speaks, wouldn't he scare him to death?
"what--"
Suddenly a scream sounded behind them.
Qiao Zhen and the others were awakened by the start, and they hurriedly looked back.
At this time, because of the dark place, Murong Xue and Lin Sisi didn't see anything.
But Qiao Zhen looked carefully.
A huge snake head emerged from the water, and the snake was biting a person's body in its mouth. The screams just now should have been made by this person, but now he has obviously been bitten to death by the huge snake up.
"They...they are catching up!"
Qiao Zhen said dumbfoundedly: "Go, let's go quickly, we can't be caught by these guys!"
Qiao Zhen originally planned to observe the surrounding environment, or look for any necessary clues.
But now it seems that they have no time to waste here.
After Qiao Zhen fell down, he led the two of them and ran to a distance.
"You... did you hear the screams just now?"
"Did something happen to the tomb robbers who were chasing after me? Why did I hear the screams so intrusive?"
Lin Sisi asked nervously while following Qiao Zhen in.
Qiao Zhen frowned: "I didn't hear it, let's go, I didn't hear anything!"
Obviously, Qiao Zhen was lying.
Murong Xue on the side also said, "I didn't hear that either!"
In fact, Murong Xue also knew what was going on. Although she didn't see the huge snake head, she guessed that it should be something in the pool. terrified.
Now, Qiao Zhen was not only worried that the group of tomb robbers would catch up, he was even more worried that the giant snake would catch up.
After all, that thing is not an ordinary horror. If it catches up and takes a bite, I'm afraid they will not even think about surviving!
Finally, a few people ran to the end and found that there was actually a stone gate, but the stone gate was so huge that it looked like a huge stone tablet.
"This... is too big, isn't it?"
"Is this a whole stone?" Lin Sisi said with a look of surprise, "What kind of tool did the ancient people use to cut such a large stone?"
Qiao Zhen smiled wryly and said: "Who knows, this stone gate is seven or eight meters high and seven or eight meters wide, maybe...it's even bigger than the gates in the past!"
"City gate?" Murong Xue said in surprise: "From what you said, I think it's a bit like a city. This is a city gate. Inside...is it a city?"
Qiao Zhen shook his head: "If it is really possible to build a city underground, this... the situation is too great!"
"But according to what you said, shouldn't there be guards on the city gate? In other words, there is no guarantee that there will be any danger here. We have to be careful, find the mechanism to open the gate, and at the same time avoid hidden weapons and trap!"
After Qiao Zhen finished speaking, Murong Xue didn't waste any time and quickly searched for it.
However, Lin Sisi kept following Qiao Zhen, fearing that if she missed a step, she would be killed!
It's a pity that this place is really too messy, there are rocks everywhere, it is not an easy task to find the mechanism here.
And after Qiao Zhen's search, Murong Xue who was not far away suddenly let out an exclamation.
Qiao Zhen hurriedly straightened his back and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Quick, come here, here... so many... so many snakes!"
After Murong Xue finished speaking, she slowly retreated to Qiao Zhen's side.
Qiao Zhen and the others looked at the poisonous snakes in front of them. They were all black and looked different in size. Some were as thick as a child's arm, and some were as small as earthworms.
Of course, big snakes can be seen, but small snakes are different, so in such an environment, either it is extremely small or extremely large, these are two extremes that make people afraid.
"Hey, what kind of snake is this?" Lin Sisi asked.
Joe shook his head.
[Wan Xiao System: Black Gold Snake, this is a poisonous snake cultivated by ancient people. It is more ruthless than the cobras you see now. It can cause hallucinations, nerve pain, and the blood in the whole body will freeze in a short time! 】
[Wan Xiao System: Anyway, let me tell you bluntly, you won the lottery, this thing is very aggressive, if you don't provoke them, they will come to trouble you! 】
Qiao Zhen widened his eyes when he heard this.
"Snakes are cold-blooded animals, as long as you use flames, you can temporarily resist them!" Qiao Zhen said hurriedly: "You guys find a way to light the torches, and I will find the mechanism that opens the door as soon as possible."
After Qiao Zhen finished speaking, he immediately ran to Shimen's place.
After Murong Xue and Lin Sisi hesitated for a while, they took out almost all the things that could be ignited in the backpack. In the end, Murong Xue even dug out a bottle of gasoline, drew a blocking line on the ground, and then ignited it. Block the approach of these poisonous snakes.
