The two returned to the pit with the only remaining person.
The fat man was waiting aside, and when he saw the two of them taking their seats, he smiled, reached into the backpack on his back, took out several detonators, lit them and threw them out, one after another.
Rumble--it was as if the whole world was spinning, and the deafening explosion was far behind them.
Clods of earth were falling from the top of his head. The fat man turned his head and looked back. Damn, the tunnel collapsed!
A large piece of the stone slab above collapsed, covering the entrance of the cave where they came down together with the alchemy furnace.
"It's over now." The fat man shrank his neck and sneered, "We can't go back at all."
Zhang Zhuoxun didn't care, "This road is already a dead end. There are so many mummies on it, and the palace door is closed. If you go up there, it's like a mouse marrying a cat. It's pure death."
Several people nodded in agreement.
After the disaster, they ran forward for a while, and the shaking stopped completely. The disgraced people collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
The fat man wiped the sweat from his face, grinned and said, "What a thrill."
Wu Xiaoxie drank a few sips of water, choked and coughed for a while. Only then did he recover from the surge of adrenaline. He patted his still buzzing ears and cursed with a smile: "Where did you get the detonator, my dear?" Your ears were almost deafened."
The fat man laughed, "I took it from Lao Pan, and added it to Fatty's private collection. Didn't I tell you last time that there is no explosives? Fatty, I won't fight easily."
"The Queen Mother of the West is quite a naughty old woman. She has so many death squads to guard her grave. It's only thanks to Muyu's arsenal, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss this time."
Thinking about the huge crowd of mummies, Wu Xiaoxie still has lingering fears, but that old ghost Wang Zanghai also miscalculated this time. No matter how he could not have imagined, there will be a group of guys with thermal weapons in a thousand years, and they can be eliminated with little effort. He planted the killing move.
"The mummies hidden inside seem to be a kind of snake, but its body is covered with black thorns. It looks like a centipede magnified a hundred times. The difference in appearance between the neck of a pheasant and that of a pheasant is obvious." Wu Xiao Xie stretched out his hand and gestured.
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, "This kind of snake is called a black-haired snake. Although its appearance is quite different, it is actually a subspecies of pheasant neck. It is not as toxic as pheasant neck, but compared to the pheasant neck that can learn human speech, this kind of snake is Snakes are even weirder. It is said that this kind of snake can control people's thoughts. After being bitten by it, people will have hallucinations. If they cannot fight with willpower, they will die in the hallucinations."
The fat man clicked his tongue after hearing this, "It's not so mysterious. Could it be that this snake is the embodiment of White Snake's resentment? Then we are not Fa Hai either."
Several people laughed at him, and Wu Xiaoxie said: "Maybe you are really the reincarnation of Fahai."
"Go, go, go." The fat man waved his hand, "If he is really reincarnated, then the fat man must also be the reincarnation of King Kong Subduing the Dragon."
"Eh~" Everyone said in disdain.
After joking for a while, everyone continued to move forward.
The passage in this mechanism is not very wide, barely enough for two people to walk side by side. There are no complicated carvings in the corridor, and the entire perimeter is paved with arm-long stone bricks.
At some distance, there will be a small cylindrical groove on the ground against the wall that was melted and poured into the edge of the ground wire. There is still some grease left in it. It is obvious that this corridor was built to facilitate people passing by. .
In order to prevent insufficient oxygen in the corridor, a few people did not light the lamp oil.
After walking quickly through this section of the road, a narrow gap appeared at the end of the corridor. After squeezing in, I discovered that it was a small stone chamber.
In the center of the stone room, there is a square stone platform facing each other. On it are many amber translucent balls the size of basketballs, with something vaguely floating inside.
Several people came closer, and when they flicked on the lamp, the fat man screamed strangely, "Damn it, there are mummy jade figurines here too!"
There are not many furnishings in the simple stone room, except for four black jade figurines placed at the four corners against the wall, which are exactly the same as those outside, as if they are guards here.
While those jade figurines were still awake and resurrected, a few people carried knives and cut off the chaos with quick knives.
Damn, he stabbed the four jade figurines into sieves with random knives.
The fat man was so curious that he peeled off one of the jade figurines with his own hands, and then picked out a soft black-haired snake from the connection between the chest and throat.
Throwing the dead snake aside, the fat man pinched the skull of the mummy and looked at it carefully. He said, "These snakes eat brains. Look at what they gave Xuan. There is no juice left at all." .”
Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, "It's very possible, look at this."
He reached out and took out a small white-brown pellet from the Adam's apple of the mummy, threw it to the ground, and crushed it with a dagger. "This is white phosphorus and charcoal powder mixed with many impurities."
Then he took out a very small thing from the throat of the mummy, with a very thin silk thread attached to the back. "This is a very clever little mechanism. In the hall outside, when the astrolabe mechanism is activated, the jade figurines So it will come to life because the black-haired snake inside feels the high temperature. The function of this small mechanism is to drive the small mechanism to rub and ignite the white phosphorus powder at the same time as the big mechanism is activated, waking the black-haired snake from dormancy."
"If we move the balls on the stone platform as soon as we come in, we will definitely trigger the mechanism inadvertently and resurrect these jade figurines." After Zhang Zhuxun finished speaking, he stood up.
Wu Xiaoxie easily took out a small bottle of disinfectant spray from the side pocket of his backpack and sprayed it on his hand. After changing the medicine on Pan Zi's arm, he stuffed it into his backpack.
The young man stared at the cracks between the bricks at the feet of the jade figurines, suddenly pulled out his knife and struck one of the bricks. With a crisp sound, the stone bricks cracked.
The little brother took back the knife, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, clamped the cracked brick, and pulled it out forcefully.
Everyone leaned their heads over and saw that there was actually a mezzanine under the stone bricks.
There were many patterns carved on the mezzanine. Chen Wenjin waved his hand and said, "Pry all the bricks apart."
After a jingling sound, all the stone bricks were lifted up, and the complete pattern underneath was revealed to everyone.
Chen Wenjin frowned and murmured, "This is..."
The pattern is divided into two parts, the left and right parts. Surrounding the stone platform in the middle, two very strange creatures are carved respectively. The middle half of the snake on the left has a human head and is covered with scales, but its tail is like an exploding firework. Lots of barbed tentacles, the one on the right is just the opposite.
The fat man looked left and right and said, "What the hell, fat man, what do you think? What's so damn good is that a long worm and a centipede were cut off at the waist, the tails were swapped, and then a head was placed on it." ?」
Wu Xiaoxie nodded, "I also think that this human head and snake body...could it be the Queen Mother of the West's immortality technique? This is a bit too hasty and nondescript."
