At this time, the tomb-guarding corpses had returned to the coffin and closed the coffin lid themselves, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, the corpse whose head was pierced by my French knife was completely dead and lay there untouched.
I don’t know what techniques the ancients used to refine corpses to such an extent?
However, this method of refining corpses must have been lost long ago in this day and age.
We walked through the tomb and soon came to a narrow passage. This passage was obviously much smaller than the one outside, and could barely accommodate two people walking side by side.
I was thinking that if I were attacked by a tomb-guarding corpse in a place like this, it would be the end. There would be no room for maneuver.
We walked along the passage for about the duration of a cigarette. At this time, we could vaguely hear the sound of water flowing. We thought it must be the underground river that Wang Beichuan called.
Not long after walking, we emerged from the narrow passage and suddenly came to an extremely empty natural cave.
I took a look with a flashlight and found that the cave was much larger than the underground palace outside, and there were almost no traces of artificial modification inside the cave, which was completely natural.
There is an underground river more than three meters wide in front of us, flowing slowly in front of us.
I glanced towards the lower reaches of the underground river and could hardly see the end.
On the other hand, the same goes for the upper reaches. The source is still not visible, and we are now in the middle of this natural cave.
I think this natural cave was dug out during the construction of the mausoleum and then used directly. It is considered unique among mausoleums.
I looked up and looked at the hanging coffins that Wang Beichuan called. They were all bronze coffins, hanging in two rows along the cliffs on both sides of the cave. The end was also endless.
"These coffins won't fall down, will they?"
Ma Huaiping looked up and said with a slightly wary expression.
His worries are not unreasonable. These coffins have been hung up for who knows how many years. Over the years, the ropes will inevitably become rotten and loose, and it is not impossible for them to fall.
Imagine being killed by a falling coffin. You would die without being able to see clearly.
What Ma Huaiping said made me a little frightened.
"Don't worry, it won't fall off that easily."
After Wang Beichuan finished speaking, he walked upstream along the underground river.
Ma Huaiping and I followed him cautiously.
After walking for a while, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the cave, and then there were bursts of very strange ringing sounds all around.
It seems that the cave is not completely closed, and there should be air vents that can lead to the outside.
But where did this ringtone come from?
I quickly looked up and looked around, only to find that the coffins above my head actually had octagonal copper bells hanging on them, one on each coffin.
As soon as the wind blew over, the bell swayed from side to side, and the strange ringing sound suddenly filled the entire cave.
I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after listening to it for a while, I suddenly felt that my mind started to get confused, and my whole person became a little swaying, as if I had lost gravity, as if I could fly directly with just a little effort.
That feeling is quite strange.
"There's something wrong with the ringtone."
I reacted immediately and shouted to Ma Huaiping and Wang Beichuan.
When they heard this, they all stopped, and then turned to look at me with confusion.
The two of them looked in a daze, obviously affected by the ringtone.
This weird ringing sound seems to have some kind of psychedelic effect.
"Hurry and keep your mind close."
I quickly reminded them, then figured out the trick and recited the meditation mantra silently in my heart.
But at this moment, the underground river in front of him suddenly started rolling, as if something huge was about to emerge from the water.
The three of us were all startled and took two steps back quickly, clinging to the wall of the cave behind us.
The weak light of the flashlight was shining on the river in front of me. The water flowed for a while, and suddenly a pale palm poked out from the water.
Then the second one, the third one...
In the blink of an eye, countless hands came out of the river. At first I thought it was a corpse, but when the thing crawled out of the water completely, the three of us were all dumbfounded.
This thing can't be called a corpse at all, but it is actually a corpse. It's just that many corpses grow together, forming a huge meat ball-like thing, and the whole body is covered with heads and arms.
This is not a lot of corpses entangled together, but really growing together. It looks like a mountain of flesh, four or five meters high.
"What the fuck is this?"
Ma Huaiping quickly took out a few charms from his pocket and stared at the mountain of flesh in front of him warily.
I also held the magic sword in my hand again, but facing such a behemoth, I really don't have much confidence.
"This...I haven't seen this thing before?"
Wang Beichuan stared at the mountain of meat in front of him and said with a horrified expression.
"Hey hey hey..."
Countless heads on that giant creature opened their mouths at the same time and let out a series of weird laughter, which made my scalp explode.
"run."
I shouted quickly, and then ran straight upstream.
Ma Huaiping and Wang Beichuan reacted at this time and quickly followed me and fled.
You can tell that this kind of thing cannot be dealt with just by looking at its size. If you don't run away now, when will you wait?
As soon as we ran, the head on the meat mountain suddenly let out a series of terrifying low roars, then put dozens of legs on the ground and chased after us very quickly.
The three of us were immediately frightened to death, and we could only run for our lives.
At this time, the underground river around us was boiling. Countless hands stretched out from the surface of the river, and then huge creatures emerged from the water, directly blocking our way.
These mountains of flesh made up of corpses have different shapes, some resemble giant beasts, and some resemble giants, but without exception, they are all covered with hands, feet, and heads, which look quite terrifying.
At this time, we were completely surrounded by these behemoths. We really had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Ma Huaiping quickly threw a few talismans and went out to test them, but the talismans were of no use to these things at all. Instead, they angered them, and several mountains of meat roared and rushed towards us.
"Quick, jump into the water."
Seeing that I had no choice, I quickly called out to Ma Huaiping and Wang Beichuan, and then jumped into the dark river in front of me.
