Looking around, the tomb in front of me was actually filled with corpses.
And judging from the age of the corpse, it was almost ten years ago.
Could it be that those people didn't go out at that time?
I'm a little confused. If they didn't go out, who took out the murals and the jewelry in the tomb?
Thinking of this, I quickened my pace, walked through the tomb where the mummies were hung, and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while, I saw the cut-out murals.
There are also countless gold and silver jewelry packed in boxes.
It seemed that the corpses that were all hung up were indeed that group of people.
At this time, I couldn't help but become a little worried. Could it be that my father also died here?
I had to re-examine all the corpses, but I didn't find a single one with a severed hand.
So I plucked up the courage to continue walking inside, and finally saw a withered corpse on a stone pedestal.
The corpse had been dampened for some unknown reason, and it was only now that it began to slowly rot.
The fishy smell before must have come from here.
Moreover, the corpse was obviously a severed hand. I was surprised and happy, so I quickly came over and started to examine it carefully.
Will there be some logos of our Chen family on it?
"How can it be?"
I checked the mummy from front to back, but found nothing.
Although I don’t know why they didn’t go out at that time, I am sure that some of them must have wanted to take the treasure to themselves.
While I was thinking, my eyes accidentally saw a stone statue.
The stone statue actually held a severed hand, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the man in front of me is not my father.
But when I just walked to the stone statue, the earth suddenly trembled.
"what happened?"
My ears perked up, and I heard a vague sound of breathing out.
Immediately afterwards there was a dull sound.
"Dong...dong..."
Suddenly, a zongzi appeared from nowhere and rushed towards me.
I was startled and instinctively raised my leg to kick him.
The rice dumpling was kicked over several times by me, and finally fell into the corner.
Only then did I notice that he had a pair of tentacles on his head, which was a little different from other zongzi.
At this moment, he stood up again, waving his tentacles towards me with all his teeth and claws.
Upon seeing this, I immediately took out the dagger from my waist and prepared to slash at its tentacles.
Unexpectedly, it seemed to have expected it, and it instantly dodged to avoid my attack, and then rushed towards me.
I quickly took two steps back and raised my knife to fight.
The rice dumpling seemed to be very flexible, and I got entangled in it without paying attention.
It pulled me up hard and hit the stone statue straight up.
The huge pain made me feel like my internal organs were about to shift.
I endured the pain, struggled to break free, and punched the rice dumpling at the same time.
This punch hit Zongzi firmly on the face, knocking it away.
The rice dumpling drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell hard to the ground.
"Bang!"
With a huge collision, the rice dumpling fell to the ground.
Looking at this rice dumpling, I couldn't help frowning. The skin of this rice dumpling is thick and thick, and ordinary things can't hurt it at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tighten the dagger in my hand. This dagger is not an ordinary thing. It can still be used to deal with Zongzi.
I took a deep breath, rushed forward, and stabbed the Zongzi on the chest with all my strength.
"Tsk-"
After a soft sound, the dagger sank smoothly into the heart of the rice dumpling.
But what surprised me was that the rice dumpling threw me away without fear of the dagger in my hand.
"how so?"
I looked at the rice dumpling in surprise and couldn't believe it at all.
I even suspected that this zongzi was not a zongzi at all, but a special creature.
Otherwise, how could it not even be hurt by a knife?
I gritted my teeth, and taking advantage of the Zongzi's daze, I stabbed the Zongzi with another knife.
Unexpectedly, the zongzi reacted extremely quickly and stretched out his palm to grab my arm.
At the same time, its other tentacle swept over directly.
I quickly took a few steps back and narrowly avoided it.
But even so, I still received a whip.
The whole person immediately flew out.
And I can feel that the power of Zongzi’s blow is terrifying.
"boom!"
There was a heavy landing sound, and I lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
When I calmed down, I realized that the rice dumpling was already standing in front of me.
At this time, it was staring at me with a sneer, seeming to be mocking my stupidity.
I couldn't help but secretly curse myself for being too reckless. It took so long and I still haven't finished a rice dumpling.
Looking at the rice dumplings in front of me, I took a deep breath, adjusted my breathing, and then stood up slowly.
I know that I must find an opportunity to run out now. If I delay like this, I will be consumed to death here sooner or later.
Thinking of this, I pulled out the dagger and stabbed Zongzi's head.
The rice dumpling didn't seem to expect my sudden attack. It was slightly startled and quickly backed away, waving its tentacles to block it.
Then I grabbed the dagger I stabbed it with, and I tried to take it back, but the rice dumpling was so powerful that I couldn't shake it at all.
At this time, the zongzi bit my wrist.
My left arm suddenly dripped with blood.
The zongzi's mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Just when Zongzi was about to open his mouth and bite me down again, I stabbed the dagger hard into his mouth, and then kicked him out.
Taking advantage of this moment, he hurriedly ran outside. The old man had a gun in his hand, and he had beaten the huge monster to blood before. It must be easy to deal with this zongzi.
After the Zongzi reacted, he chased me.
But the strange thing is that the rice dumpling stopped under the mummy.
I didn't have time to worry about it, so I hurriedly ran towards the exit.
When I went out, the old man was surprised when he saw the injury.
"What's going on? Is there anyone alive here?"
The old man seemed a little unbelievable, so he quickly tore it off and bandaged my wound with the fabric from his own clothes.
"There are no living people, but there is one big zongzi."
I glanced at the entrance of the cave with lingering fear, but the rice dumpling did not come out.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that this tomb that had been opened for ten years would still have such a presence inside.
"Big Zongzi? It shouldn't be. Since those people came out last time, nothing else has happened here."
The old man took a puff of dry cigarette and said in confusion.
"What came out? Those people didn't come out at all. The man with the severed hand you mentioned also died inside. The other people inside were all hanged in the tomb, and they are all mummified now."
Hearing my words, the old man was obviously stunned.
The expression on his face was as if he had just heard me tell some fantasy.
"How is that possible? I watched them come out with my own eyes at that time. They carried a lot of murals, and even carried several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."
The old man still couldn't believe it.
But when I heard the old man's words, I also smiled slightly. The murals and several large boxes of gold and silver jewelry were all inside, and they had not been moved out at all.
"Forget it, we need to find something to seal the hole. Otherwise, if someone goes in, they won't be able to get out alive."
I said with lingering fear, that Zongzi was too powerful, even I was cheated. If it had been someone else, I might have been the one hanging on top.
As for the murals and jewelry, the only reasonable explanation is that they were all brought back by Zongzi, and all the tomb robbers were killed by Zongzi.
The old man nodded after hearing this, found a big stone nearby, and carried it with me to block the entrance of the cave.
"It's done, let's go."
The old man said and turned around to leave. Although I also want to continue searching, it is unlikely that I will continue searching now.
It's better to go back and find Professor Jin early. Maybe they have any clues?
I followed the old man back to his home and simply bandaged my wound.
The old man took out the soul-binding bead.
"You better hold this thing, it's useless for me to hold it."
Hearing what the old man said, I felt a little embarrassed and took the bead over, holding it in my hand and looking at it for a long time.
"Isn't this thing useless?"
I've heard about the soul-binding beads. They can only be used once. Each soul-binding bead can only imprison one soul.
However, in that tomb, the Soul Binding Pearl had been used long ago, and now it can only be regarded as an antique.
"What do you know? If you sell it in the antique market, you can get tens of thousands of dollars."
The old man smiled slightly and said jokingly.
"Then I can't take it anymore. I'll keep this thing for you in case you need the money in the future..."
Before I finished speaking, the old man waved his hand.
"Old people like me don't care about the money at all. Besides, it's rare to find a knowledgeable owner with this stuff."
After hearing what the old man said, I shook my head helplessly.
"In that case, I'll thank you."
…
It was already midnight when I came out of Huanglong Mountain. I left all my money with the old man, and now I just want to go back to the antique market and sell this thing.
But when I reached the bottom of the mountain, a man in black robes and a mask on his face stopped me.
"You are Chen An."
The man's voice was very eerie, but I was still a little curious when I heard that the other person had called my name.
"Who are you?"
When I asked back, the man ignored me.
"Come with me, I can give you the answer you want."
After the man in black robe finished speaking, he got into a car next to him.
After much hesitation, I sat on it.
