Under this strong pull, I could only send Xu Jinxiu out first. When he fell into the escape hatch, Xu Jinxiu may have realized that I had not followed.

"List……!"

I heard Xu Jinxiu was about to call me, but turned around and his eyes paused on my wrist, as if he saw something. I lowered my head and looked at it. The thing holding me was a hand, but I couldn't tell. It is a human hand!

Because the crystal shape of this hand is no longer in the human category.

It has no skin or flesh. It looks like a long crystal-shaped hand with a lot of particles on the top.

Suddenly a huge force came over me, as if it was about to break my wrist.

It felt very scary, and I could imagine how my expression changed from painful to terrifying.

I tried to use strength to resist, but it was of no use because I couldn't break free at all, and there was no possibility of even moving at the moment.

"This...! What the hell is this?"

From Xu Jinxiu's position, she could clearly see the entirety of the monster. Almost all of its body was translucent, and its upper body looked like the Crystal Man in science fiction movies. Everywhere was weird. .

Seeing that I couldn't break free, I stopped wasting my energy. The water and sand below continued to increase, and now it has spread to the hanging coffin. It won't take long for my legs to be submerged.

If this stalemate continues, I will be consumed here sooner or later. I looked into the hanging coffin. The appearance of this crystal corpse must have touched some mechanism. It is most likely a dead thing!

On the other side, Xu Jinxiu held my hand tightly and did not dare to let go, for fear that I would accidentally be pulled into the hanging coffin. I looked up at her and gave her a reassuring look.

"Jinxiu, let go first. I think I should be able to find a way. With you holding me like this, no one can run away if I encounter danger."

"No! Absolutely not. If you want to leave, let's go together. I will never leave you here alone."

After experiencing several life and death crises, the two of us have almost reached a point where we can trust each other unconditionally.

"Don't worry, I won't be in danger for a while. Just let go and let me find a solution."

Xu Jinxiu thought about it for a few seconds before slowly letting go.

"Is that thing a human being or a rice dumpling?"

Xu Jinxiu motioned behind me, I shrugged and slowly squatted down.

"This should be a crystal corpse. If my judgment is correct, the body and internal organs were eviscerated by the alchemist before his death. It was refined with secret crystal ore. This method is cruel and inhumane, because during this period, the alchemist refined it We must ensure that the person is still alive!”

After hearing me introduce some things about the crystal corpse, Xu Jinxiu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, it was shocking!

"So has it been activated? How can I get rid of it?"

Xu Jinxiu frowned and looked at me anxiously.

It was also at this time that my brain was spinning rapidly, constantly searching for all information about the crystal corpse.

"If I remember correctly, it should be the sound!"

"Voice?" Xu Jinxiu looked at me with confusion.

I nodded and explained randomly.

"It should be related to the crystals on the crystal corpse. The sound will resonate with these crystals to a certain extent. When the sound resonates to a certain level, the crystal corpse will be activated!"

But right now, I don’t know where the upper limit of the resonance of this crystal corpse is. If the resonance is activated due to the sound of speaking, and it suddenly bursts out and kills me, wouldn’t I be even more unjust than Dou E?

Thinking of this, I lowered my voice as low as possible.

"Jinxiu, we need to control the sound. Because this room is small, I'm afraid it will cause echoes. If the echoes resonate, the crystal corpse will wake up."

However, what I thought, and that was just me, was that plans can never keep up with sudden changes!

"sand……!"

The constant sound of quicksand and water flow turned into a natural built-in sound box in this small tomb.

In other words, no matter how careful we are, it is useless. Quicksand and water are natural resonance lines, and the crystal corpse behind me will naturally be activated with the resonance of the sound.

It was at this moment that my expression changed drastically, and I couldn't even hold back the curse words in my heart.

I really suspect that the designer of this tomb trap mechanism is a psychopath. This method is really dirty.

"What...what's wrong, Chen Fan?"

"Quick! Can you imitate the singing of birds, the more pleasant ones? Don't resonate with the sounds here!"

I speak quickly because I can clearly feel,

My body was being pulled bit by bit.

The crystal corpse was activated, and it wanted to pull me into the hanging coffin. I could even clearly know that there were countless mechanisms in the hanging coffin. Once I was pulled in, my death would be a matter of time.

In other words, I must not be dragged into it right now!

"I...I can give it a try!" Xu Jinxiu answered me quickly.

I exerted all my strength and resisted with my body almost 30 degrees close to the ground. Although the posture was weird and not very elegant, the weird posture at the moment was enough to give me enough time to save my life.

Because by doing this, I can use my body's own weight to increase my strength, but the power of the crystal corpse in the hanging coffin seems to be endless. Even if I use all my strength, my body is still being pulled.

The quicksand and the sand and water are also rising continuously, and it has now spread to my legs. It won't take long, even if I can resist the crystal corpse, I will still be suffocated by the spreading sand and water!

I have bulging veins all over my body, and my current appearance would probably scare a child to tears. At this critical moment, a series of short and continuous bird calls came to my ears.

The sound coming from it was extremely pleasant and lifelike, as if I was trapped in a jungle in a wonderful fantasy world.

I looked at Xu Jinxiu in disbelief. That series of short sounds, at least seven or eight kinds of bird calls, all came from her mouth.

"I really didn't expect her tongue to be so flexible!"

In fact, it can be considered a coincidence. Xu Jinxiu does know some animal language, such as bird calls, but it is a relatively common one and the one she has studied the most.

The sharp and high-frequency bird calls seemed to act as a repulsive force, and the crystal corpse was disturbed. I could clearly feel that the crystal corpse was disturbed.

In this way, I can escape from danger.

It was at the moment when the crystal corpse let go that I struggled to break away and picked up the bluestone brick and threw it at it!

"Crash——!" Fragments of starlight scattered in all directions.

I pulled Xu Jinxiu up and said, "Let's go!!!"

At this critical moment, I smashed the reflection point of the moonlight with a blue brick. Without the moonlight, the lunar water droplets would naturally not be activated. The two of us hugged each other and happened to be able to enter the escape hatch.

The more times like this come, the less I dare to panic and delay, because no one knows when the mechanism will be closed next second.

I admit that a large part of me was betting that I could escape and find the right escape hatch, and the facts also proved it to me.

I did escape, but not completely. Instead, I entered another ear chamber from the hanging coffin chamber.

When Xu Jinxiu and I suddenly landed and stood firm, two bright lights shone over us.

After being in a dim environment for a long time and suddenly being illuminated by strong light, my eyes were unable to adapt to the stimulation caused by the strong light.

"Chen Changyan!"

Liu Bao was the first to run up. After briefly looking at me, he looked at Xu Jinxiu with concern.

"Sister Xu! It's great that you are okay. I thought I would never find you again."

Everyone gathered around, worriedly asking what we had done during the time we disappeared, but the moment I turned around, Liu Siyuan stood quietly in the darkness behind me, and his smile seemed to become extremely weird. .

Along with several people around him, for some unknown reason, they all showed the same strangely curved smile at the same time.

That smile flashed away, and I didn't notice anything wrong. I just thought that they were all immersed in the joy of getting together.

At the moment, I had no intention of chatting. We were separated by accident, and then brought together again by accident.

I can basically conclude that the tomb we are in should be a place of circulation, which is also the so-called living tomb!

As long as we are at a fixed time and a fixed point, no matter whether we are in the tomb chamber or the ear chamber, we can return to the corresponding place at the corresponding time period.

I slowly approached the wall of the tomb, looking around, remembering all the good and bad things around me.

"Liu Bao, how did you find this place?"

Just as I was thinking about it carefully, Xu Jinxiu suddenly asked about Liu Bao.

Liu Siyuan on the side was like a dull gourd, remaining in the dark without moving. Da Lian on the other side seemed to have lost the interest he had before, and instead gave people an indescribable feeling of exhaustion.

Liu Bao scratched his head naively and looked at Xu Jinxiu before he answered.

"Sister Xu, it's actually nothing. We were able to find this place purely because the owner here led the way. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find it."

I suddenly raised my eyebrows and looked, why did the owner of the tomb bring them here?

The owner of the tomb here has probably been dead for hundreds of years. If he could really get up and lead him, wouldn't he be a living rice dumpling?

Just when I wanted to complain, my peripheral vision suddenly flashed across the corner of the wall!

It was at this moment that I seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. I strode straight over to check it out. I didn't know it until I looked at it, but I was shocked when I saw it!

Good guy, the surrounding walls have different murals on almost every side. Most of them, and the most attractive part, are the tigers, leopards, birds and beasts on the walls.

There are more birds and beasts. If you look towards the middle, you will see woods outlined on both sides of the stone wall, and there are many portraits of women in the middle.

Basically, they are all portraits without clothes, but their appearance is vividly depicted.

I looked intently, but I don’t know why. When I saw the woman on the mural, I felt dizzy. It was a very weird feeling. In just a few seconds, I felt a little nauseous. vomit.
