"What did you say!" The two were shocked.
At this time, Haozi and Liang Shaokai, who went out to look for things, came back dragging several backpacks and weapons.
"A lot of people like Oulanke and Yan died. I couldn't find our backpacks, but these people also had a lot of stuff!"
Haozi threw the backpack and submachine gun on the ground with a crash, took out a medical bag from the bag and walked towards Ye Rong.
"How is Taozi, he..." Before he finished speaking, Haozi looked at Chen Tao who was unconscious on the ground, and then glanced at the expressions of the two sisters Ye Rong and Ye Ling'er, and felt in his heart Just a sinking.
At this time, Chen Tao had returned to his normal appearance, and the strange red blood lines on his body had disappeared, and the five bloody holes on his stomach were shocking.
"He...he won't..."
"Little brother! My little brother!" Liang Shaokai rushed over with a cry, but was stopped by Balohard.
"He's not dead yet, but... ugh!"
"Commander Barro, what did you just say, can Chen Tao be saved?" Ye Rong looked at Barro Hard.
"I don't know if it's true. According to legend, Mengtos is the holy beast in charge of human souls. Mengtos has a treasure, which is a divine bead condensed after it swallowed countless souls. Will If the dead person can get the divine bead, his soul can be preserved, and he can even be resurrected! Back then, the God of War Nakarasa fought with the North Sea evil beast Burlado and died unfortunately. His sister Nakara, the god of the underworld, died in the battle. It was the God of War, Nakarosa, who was resurrected with the divine beads of Mengtos."
Balohad said it very seriously and carefully.
In this godless era, no one would believe that such a legend could be true.
"You mean, this bead is the divine bead of Mengtuos?" Ye Ling'er blinked her big eyes, with a few crystal tears still hanging on her eyelashes.
Before coming, she had carefully studied all the information about Tatunaan, but she had never heard of such a legend.
"I know these things sound outrageous, but believe it or not." Balohad's face was solemn, and he handed the red and transparent bead into Ye Rong's hand.
"At this point, there is no other way. Let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor!" Ye Rong sighed helplessly.
"No, I don't agree. If Taozi has any shortcomings, I will never accept it!"
"But is there any other way now? He is already dying!"
Haozi fell silent and looked at Chen Tao, who was covered in blood on the ground and half-stepped into the gate of hell, and turned his head stubbornly.
"I'm going to find something that might be of some use."
"Hey, Commander Barlow, tell me, how to save him?"
"Come!" Balohad placed the bead on a piece of clean gauze, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and smashed the bead to pieces with the blade of the knife.
He reached out and picked out a small light red ball as big as a fingernail from the pile of scraps, stuffed it into Chen Tao's mouth, and then used the handle of the knife to crush the remaining pieces into powder.
Passed it to Ye Rong.
"Put these powders on his wounds. Whether he lives or dies, let God decide!"
There was wind and sand everywhere, and Ye Rong finally managed to apply the powder into Chen Tao's wound.
Haozi pulled out two spears from the stone statue, and he and Liang Shaokai simply made a stretcher and placed the bandaged Chen Tao on it.
"What should we do next? We can't just stay here and wait to die, right?" Liang Shaokai looked at the sandstorm outside. At this time, a large number of buildings had been buried, and even a huge building had been piled up in front of the temple door. The sand dunes are still growing.
"It seems that there is only one way." Balohad struggled in his eyes, "Through the underground king's tomb, there is an underground river connected there. If you follow the river, there may be a chance of getting out."
"What about them?" Haozi pursed his lips towards Yan, Oulanke and others in the distance.
"Hmph, they think the same as us." Ye Rong sneered, "Otherwise, what do you think those people are doing wandering around in the hall."
"They should be looking for a secret passage leading to the king's tomb." Ye Ling'er looked at Chen Tao's face and saw that he was still extremely weak.
"I hope those pearl powders will work..."
Ye Linger prayed in her heart.
The storm at this time was getting stronger and stronger, and the steps at the entrance of the hall were completely buried in sand. The temple was completely dark, with only a few exposed gaps still vaguely revealing some dim light, and a whimpering sound emitted from time to time. The whimpering ghostly roars echoed and overlapped in the empty hall, sending chills to the hearts of those who listened.
At the other end of the hall, lights and shadows were moving. Yan, Oulenke and others did not know what they were doing. For a while, no one paid attention to Chen Tao and the others in the corner.
"Can he really wake up?" Ye Ling'er gently asked Barrohard on the side, and the only answer she received was silent silence.
Liang Shaokai gave everyone a backpack and went out to find some food and water.
So far, they have not made any progress.
So, what about Chen Tao?
Since he fell into coma, Chen Tao has been in an unconscious state. He doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
There was no pain, no sound, nothing. He lost all sense of the outside world.
Chen Tao felt like a ghost in the darkness, wandering in the endless abyss.
Time seemed to have stood still, and hundreds, or even thousands, of years had passed.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Tao suddenly felt hot and hot in his chest, and an extremely strange feeling spread throughout his body.
At this moment, he seemed to see the huge lizard monster with a split head heading towards him to devour him.
Completely unconscious, Chen Tao was swallowed into the belly of the monster, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in some weird illusory thing.
He felt that his strength was recovering bit by bit, his consciousness was returning bit by bit, and he seemed to hear some noisy voices in his ears.
one
Red lines as thin as gossamers flowed on Chen Tao's body. No one noticed what was happening on Chen Tao's body under the bandages.
Ye Rong and the others sat in the corner, each eating something to replenish their strength, and no one spoke.
"Master Long! No, or I should call you, Miss Ye Rong!" Yan walked towards Chen Tao and the others with his trademark evil smile on his lips.
"That boy from the Chen family did us a big favor this time. On behalf of everyone who survived, I thank him!"
"Hmph, the weasel is giving New Year greetings to the rooster!" Haozi stood in front of Chen Tao, staring closely at Yan who was walking over, his fingers already whispering
Touched into the sleeve.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me!" Looking at the alert people, Yan smiled, "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope. We are trapped here and have no choice but to wait for death. Why don't we put aside our grudges temporarily? , everything should be settled after you get out!"
"Go and have your big dreams!" Haozi retorted mercilessly, "Even if I, Li Hao, starve to death, die from sleepiness, jump from here and hit me head-on, I will not cooperate with someone like you!"
"Hmph, you bastard of the Chen family, I think you think you have a long life!" Oulangke cursed and looked at Haozi fiercely. Haymorton on the other side had a murderous look in his eyes, and his hand was already on On the long knife at the waist.
"Oulanke, I didn't expect that you would betray the great wizard and collude with foreigners!" Balohad patted Haozi on the shoulder, took a step forward, and stopped in front of Haozi.
These people are Chen Tao's close friends, and he will not allow anyone to hurt them.
"Huh, Balohard, times have changed. Some things will become worthless when you know the truth about them." O'Ronker looked at Balohard with twinkling eyes. If When people who don’t know me see it, they think it’s two friends chatting.
The atmosphere on both sides was a bit tense.
"Cooperate or die, you choose for yourself." Yan's voice was a little cold, and he looked at Haozi and the others as if they were looking at a few dead people.
"Hmph, do we have any choice?" Ye Rong came over, "You..."
Suddenly, a hand held Ye Rong, stopping her from saying those words.
"Chen Tao! You wake up!" Tears welled up in Ye Ling'er's beautiful eyes.
"Gods bless you!" An inexplicable light flashed in Balohad's eyes. It was a miracle that Chen Tao could be saved by the divine bead!
"Cooperate." Chen Tao coughed and raised his head from the stretcher. At this time, his eyes had returned to their normal color.
"I can't, Taozi! I..."
Haozi on the side wanted to say something more, but Chen Tao winked at him, indicating that he should calm down and not act out of emotion.
The situation at this time was too disadvantageous, and Chen Tao never wanted to see anyone die in front of him again.
"The young boss of the Chen family is indeed a smart man." Yan nodded with satisfaction. At this time, the wind and sand outside could no longer blow in. Ah Cheng and several of his men packed up the equipment on the ground.
light up in darkness
With a flashlight, the group of people walked around the altar and walked towards the deepest part of the hall.
Behind the altar are several tall stone statues. The one in the middle is the largest and the highest-status main god in Tatunaan legend. On both sides of him are other gods who are in charge of life, death, yin and yang, and everything in the world.
Balohad walked under the throne of the largest main god, reached out and groped on the stone wall for a while, and finally grabbed part of a certain pattern on it with his hand and pressed it hard.
Click, click, click...
Accompanied by a loud sound of stone slabs being pushed and rubbed, a stone wall under the throne slowly rose.
"This is the entrance to the King's Tomb, don't touch anything inside!" Balohad warned Yan, Oulanke and others with a gloomy face.
Behind the stone wall was a long, dark secret passage, and everyone walked in cautiously with flashlights in hand.
Haozi and Liang Shaokai supported Chen Tao, who was still a little weak, and followed Barohard closely, while sisters Ye Rong and Ye Ling'er followed behind them.
After that, there are Yan, Acheng, Oulenke, Haymerton and others.
After everything they had gone through before, more than half of their people were dead, and at this time there were only a dozen in total.
There are very neat strips of stones on the ground of the secret passage, and there are various human murals and reliefs on the stone walls on both sides.
The art of the Tatunaan people is very special. It combines two-dimensional murals and three-dimensional reliefs, making the things in the picture more clear-cut and vivid.
The paint is very well preserved, and the color is still very full after thousands of years. When you shine a flashlight on it, the colors in the secret passage are dazzling.
Buried in the king's tomb are the kings of Tatunaan's past dynasties. The closer they go, the closer they are to each other. Everyone walking in the secret passage feels like they have crossed time and space and are walking on the axis of Tatunaan's history.
What is carved on these stone walls are also the greatest deeds of King Tatunaan in the past dynasties during his lifetime.
Most of them depict the expansion of territories and cities, and tribal wars. Some depict the king leading the people to dig mountains and dig rivers, build temples, and some depict large-scale sacrificial activities.
In one of the murals, Chen Tao even saw a scene depicting the Holy Rat saving the country, which made Chen Tao wonder which one was the truth, the legend or the official history.
Or maybe, the legend itself is history!
These murals are painted very delicately, and every character is described in vivid detail.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by these precise murals. When they walked to the mural of the fifth-generation King Tatunaan, Chen Tao could no longer look away from the content inside.
"This is......."
