Before I could finish my sentence, suddenly, the chains tied to the big black coffin made a clanging sound.
This sudden sound startled all three of us, and we all retreated almost at the same time.
But less than a few seconds later, a large yellow and white mouse poked its head out from behind the coffin.
I saw this guy holding a black cloth bag in his mouth, looking towards us slyly, and from time to time, he would make two "squeaking" sounds from between his teeth, as if he was provoking or beckoning us over.
Seeing this big yellow and white mouse that suddenly appeared, the three of us couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Xiong Ming even jumped up and pointed at the big yellow and white mouse and shouted: "Dragon... Dragon Elephant Golden Rat!"
After saying that, Xiong Ming stretched out his hand to grab the back of the dragon-elephant-golden-rat's neck.
The dragon-elephant-golden rat had suffered a lot from Xiong Ming, so it felt a little wary in its heart. Seeing his big hand suddenly grabbing at him, it immediately shrank and turned around, and "slipped" from under his creaking nest. He got through and then rushed to Hua Muling's shoulder in three swaying motions.
The dragon-elephant golden rat squatted on Hua Muling's shoulders like a big squirrel, holding the big black cloth bag in both hands, staring at Xiong Ming with its ruby-like eyes, a pair of extremely disharmonious "ivory tusks" "Sighing, he made an extremely unfriendly "Woo-Woo" sound at Xiong Ming.
When Xiong Ming saw this, he became very angry. He pointed at the dragon-elephant-golden rat and cursed: "Hey! This big rat runs really fast! If I don't catch you, I'll make soup with you!"
With that said, Xiong Ming rushed over to catch the dragon, elephant and golden rat again.
But as soon as Xiong Ming moved, I stopped him. Xiong Ming looked at me with a pair of bull's eyes and said, "Hu Tian, why are you stopping me?"
I sighed helplessly and said, "Are you out of your mind? When you look at this big yellow mouse, you feel like a little Japanese girl looking at a flower girl? Why are we looking for it? Isn't it just to get it? That thing in your mouth? Now that it has been delivered to your door, can't you be gentler?"
When Xiong Ming heard what I said, he rolled his eyes at me and said nothing, while I continued: "Besides, Dali Bear, don't you think this big mouse seems to have a good impression of Hua Muling? Since it likes Hua Muling , then let the fourth girl take care of it. If you continue to be so arrogant, I guess you will probably mess up the matter! By then all your efforts will be wasted, and you will have no chance to cry."
Xiong Ming snorted coldly and said nothing. Instead, he turned around and ran to the side consciously to alert himself to the surrounding situation.
Seeing that Xiong Ming said nothing, I smiled bitterly and said to Hua Muling: "I think this big mouse doesn't seem to hate you. Can you handle it?"
Hua Muling frowned and said, "I'm not sure, I can only give it a try."
After saying that, Hua Muling turned her head and said word by word to the dragon, elephant and golden mouse: "Dahuang, have you been waiting here for us?"
The dragon, elephant, and golden mouse seemed to be able to understand Hua Muling's words. It barked twice and nodded its fist-sized head up and down.
When I saw the reaction of the Dragon Elephant Golden Rat, I couldn't help but excitedly said: "It can understand what you are saying!"
Hua Muling also nodded excitedly, then turned to the Dragon Elephant Golden Rat and said, "Dahuang, are you waiting for me here, do you want to give me the thing in your mouth?"
After the dragon, elephant, and golden rat squeaked twice, his mouth relaxed, and the black cloth bag suddenly fell into Hua Muling's hands.
Hua Muling took the black cloth bag, touched the dragon, elephant and golden mouse on her shoulder with her hand, and said in her mouth: "Good boy! What a rhubarb! Rhubarb, the best behaved."
The dragon-elephant-golden rat, like a puppy, narrowed its eyes slightly in comfort, and made a "whining" sound from its mouth that was extremely enjoyable.
After comforting the dragon, elephant, and golden mouse for a while, Hua Muling handed me the black cloth bag in her hand.
I took the cloth bag and opened it, and an ice-blue rectangular jade appeared in front of me in an instant. Just like before, the moment the jade appeared, the surrounding temperature also dropped sharply. At this moment, I can almost see the breath coming out of my mouth.
I put my hand to my mouth and took a few breaths, then carefully looked at the jade in front of me.
I saw that the shape of this jade was extremely unique. It showed a rare ice blue color as a whole. The jade body was translucent. Under the light of the fire, I could vaguely see a trace of ripples flowing slowly inside. In addition, this jade stone is about 20 centimeters long and 17 or 18 centimeters wide. It generally looks like a square, but in fact it is not.
A strange beast is carved on one end of the jade, which looks somewhat similar to the mausoleum beast on the roof of the tomb chamber.
The beast is as long as a dragon, with a total of six claws, a head as big as a bucket, and three pairs of six eyes, presenting an extremely terrifying and ferocious image.
The beast was in a prone position, with its head raised to the sky, its eyes open with angry eyes, and a dark red gem in its mouth.
In addition, the lower middle part of this piece of jade was full of strange words. I looked carefully at the tadpole-like words, frowned, and said in surprise: "This is the Tang Dynasty period. The text? Shouldn't it be running script or regular script during the Tang Dynasty? Why does the text on the top look like a ghost painting?"
And just when I was concentrating on studying the words on the jade, suddenly, there was a crisp "click" sound from the jade in my hand.
The sound was not loud, just like the crisp sound made when a piece of extremely thin ice exploded after frequent alternations of cold and heat. Along with the crisp sound, a crack as thin as a hair appeared on the jade body.
Seeing a crack suddenly appear, I couldn't help but secretly asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
But before I had time to think about it, the tiny crack began to spread around at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, countless spider web-like cracks appeared on the originally flawless jade body.
Hua Muling obviously noticed this sudden change. She shouted anxiously from the side: "Hu Tian, this piece of jade seems to be extremely sensitive to light. The fire here seems to consume its lifespan. If it continues like this, it won't take long before it will break. We don't have much time. Use it to pick the lock quickly!"
Hua Muling's words reminded me, and she didn't answer immediately. She hurriedly hugged the piece of jade with the black cloth in her hand, then turned around and ran towards the lock on the side.
The lock was not far from my position, and I rushed to it in a few steps. Immediately afterwards, I stepped forward, pushed forward, raised my hand, pushed, pressed, and twisted... The whole set of actions was done in one go.
And as the huge iron lock made a "click" sound, the iron chains that originally tied the big black coffin suddenly made a "clatter" and trembled. Then, seven or eight iron chains as thick as an adult's thigh unexpectedly It started to twitch slowly, rising up little by little.
At first, the iron chain rose slowly, but after a few seconds, the iron chain that had been rising slowly suddenly began to accelerate. At the same time, a roar that shook the world was faintly heard from outside the entire space.
I looked at Hua Muling, then at Xiong Ming, gritted my teeth and said, "Did you hear that?"
Xiong Ming nodded and said: "I'm not deaf, of course I heard it. With such a big movement, could it be the tomb-protecting beast here?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know! But no matter what that guy is, it is probably enough for the few of us to drink a pot. We don't have time, so hurry up and open the coffin!"
After Xiong Ming finished speaking, he was about to lift the lid of the big black coffin with his hand, but at this moment, Hua Muling suddenly stopped him and said, "Be careful! Don't move!".
Xiong Ming looked at Hua Muling and asked in surprise: "Fourth girl, what's wrong?"
Hua Muling did not answer Xiong Ming's words, but pointed at the big black coffin, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Look!"
Xiong Ming and I looked in the direction Hua Muling pointed, and saw that the coffin, which was originally as dark as ink, was inexplicably coated with white frost.
The frost was generated from the inside out. When I looked over, it was expanding outward at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't take long before the entire coffin was frozen solid.
At the same time, a desperate chill centered on the black coffin spread throughout the tomb in an instant.
I was closest to the black coffin, and in less than a minute, a layer of white frost formed on my eyebrows and hair.
Xiong Ming patted his chest behind me and said, "Thankfully the fourth girl reminded me! If I had touched it just now, wouldn't I have been frozen into an ice sculpture?"
I rolled my eyes at Xiong Ming and said, "I don't think you are an ice sculpture! You are simply a sand sculpture!"
Xiong Ming scolded back angrily: "Hey! You kid actually scolded me! If I were a sand sculpture, you would be a fighting eagle among sand sculptures!"
"Okay! Can you two stop arguing now?" Hua Muling saw that Xiong Ming and I were quarreling again, so she shouted from the side: "If you want to argue, wait until we are out safely. You can argue no matter what." It’s up to people. But now I think we’d better study how to open this coffin!”
Xiong took a look at me and then raised his hand and said, "Master Xiong, I agree with the fourth girl. Chiang Kai-shek's approach of trying to deal with the outside world before settling the inside is not reliable. It is better to leave the internal conflicts to be resolved outside!"
I also rolled my eyes at Xiong Ming, and then looked at the ice coffin in front of me that was smoking white. I frowned and said, "We don't even have a crowbar in our hands now. How can we open it when it's so frozen?" Huh? Unless..."
Just before I finished speaking, there was suddenly another low and terrifying roar coming from outside the tomb, followed by a series of violent impacts combined with the sound of broken stones.
Not long after, the entire west wall of the tomb was suddenly knocked out with a big hole of seven or eight meters square.
As the big hole appeared, two huge figures rolled in and rushed in.
I looked at the two huge figures in front of me, and I couldn't help but be shocked, "It's... it's them!"
