Chapter 39

The steps below the secret road are not long. There are only more than 20 roads in total. What is in front of the steps is naturally invisible when standing above the secret road crossing.

"I'll take the lead."

Fu Hongshan immediately walked down the steps with his backpack on his back. After listening to him say it was all right, we followed down one after another.

This secret road is so secret that from our subjective point of view, we naturally think that the main Tomb of the tomb owner is most likely below the secret road. But what actually appeared in front of us was a straight corridor with a length of more than 20 meters, but there was a stone gate at the end of the corridor.

"It may be behind the stone gate."

"Then don't waste any more time. I'll see how many valuable treasures are hidden in this guy."

Just as we were about to leave for the end of the corridor and open the stone gate, I suddenly found a pair of murals carved on the walls of the corridor, and the painting style and scenes of these murals made me very uneasy for a moment. "Look at the pictures engraved on the wall."

It may be because the murals have been eroded by wind for too long, but even though the tone is dark, the carved patterns outlined on the wall are very clear. The pioneers' eyes fell on the mural on the left nearest to us, engraved with two people in different clothes. One of them knelt on the ground with his hands tied, and his head was cut off next to him. The other was pierced by a bow and arrow. His face was frightened. In his eyes, there seemed to be a sense of regret in addition to fear. Just looking at this mural, I can't help but immediately picture the scene of their tragic death at that time in my mind.

In the mural on the wall on our right, although the scene depicted on it has changed, the painting style remains the same. There were four people on the top. Without exception, they were pierced by sharp spears. Their death was terrible. However, there are murals on the walls on both sides of the corridor at intervals, and the contents of the murals are almost similar to the two we see now.

Chen Qing said, "shit, what's engraved on it? It's scary."

Hu Qingguo said, "don't look if it's scary. Hurry to the front and open the stone gate."

Perhaps influenced by the murals, Fu Hongshan, who walked in front, was very careful and walked very slowly. Of course, we followed him and wouldn't urge him at this time. After all, we all know that the closer we are to the main tomb, the greater the risk factor will be. It's always good to be careful. However, as soon as we walked forward, Fu Hongshan suddenly raised his voice and shouted down. Out of instinct, we immediately crawled on the ground without hesitation. At the same time, a row of small arrow holes appeared at the place where the mural was originally engraved on the wall, and dense arrow rain shot out of each other.

I was not a timid person, even the evil ghost and fierce ghost that everyone feared. But at this moment, I was so scared that a cold sweat had seeped from my back. We all know that if we spend a little more time at night, we may have been shot into a hornet's nest by this time. In a short time, there will be more rotten skeletons in this ordinary corridor. Even if we are lucky to see the sun again in the future, no one will know my last name, but we can be sure that we are tomb robbers, And our fate is also the fate of grave robbers.

The arrow rain came too suddenly and walked vigorously. In just a few seconds, hundreds of arrows had been stacked on the ground in front of us until we couldn't hear the sound of arrow rain at last, and the hanging stones in our hearts fell to the ground.

"Stop, it seems to stop."

"Feibiao, you dog, almost killed us." Chen Qing scolded.

"I'll fuck you. If I hadn't reminded you in time, you bastard would have gone to the hell hall to report, and dared to blame me." Fu Hongshan scolded back. He immediately carefully planed away the arrows stacked in front of him, pointed to the green brick he had just stepped on and said to Hu Qingguo, "I remember very clearly. I stepped on this brick just now."

Jiang Yilong said, "let's avoid it."

Hu Qingguo hesitated and said, "this road doesn't seem long, but it may be the most sad level for us from stealing the cave to now. Therefore, even if we deliberately avoid going now, it may not trigger the mechanism again accidentally."

"Little Hu, what good way do you have?" I said.

Hu Qingguo said: "this mechanism is so ingenious that it can kill people if you don't pay attention. But even if it is powerful, it will eventually run out of strength. That is, as long as we touch and fire all the arrows arranged in advance in the mechanism, we don't have to worry about the situation just happening again."

Fu Hongshan understood and said a word to us. When he saw us lying on the ground tightly again, he stretched out a hand and pressed it fiercely towards the green brick of the trigger mechanism. The next second, the dense arrow rain triggered again.

Fu Hongshan kept pressing the green brick hard for about half a minute. The power of the dense arrow rain became weaker and weaker until there was no arrow in the arrow hole on the wall. "No, it's really gone this time."

At this time, I found that my palm was full of cold sweat. Looking at Jiang Yilong next to me, his face also looked a little pale. Looking at my line of sight, he quickly asked, "younger martial brother, are you hurt?"

"I didn't, and you?"

"I'm fine."

Hu Qingguo stood up and saw that everyone was safe and said, "as the saying goes, if you don't die, you will have a blessing. We may have broken through this level again. Next, let's go straight to Baoshan."

Fu Hongshan and Chen Qing opened the road and cleared a road from thousands of bows and arrows. After the experience just now, we were naturally more careful, but we didn't expect that we were only less than five meters away from the Shimen, and we didn't know who accidentally touched the mechanism button. I just heard a roar, the green brick ground broke from the middle and sank abruptly. I just felt that my feet were empty, my center of gravity was greatly lost, and took a look at my feet, At my feet is a stone pit of about three meters. If it is just an ordinary stone pit, it will hurt for half a day at most, but there are sharp spears in the stone pit. These spears are arranged very densely, only 20 or 30 cm apart from each other.

This is a means of killing

I yelled. Instinctively, I stretched my hands upward to grasp the broken edge. Unexpectedly, the tip of my hand slipped and grabbed the air. At this moment, I seem to feel that the whole space is still, and the thoughts in my mind become extremely active at this second.

I know what will happen to me

Fang Wenhu and his team retreated in time, and the position where I stood was just the center of the ground sinking. Therefore, what the mechanism touched this time could take away was only my life.

"Younger martial brother."

"Hold him."

Fang Wenhu was closest to me and took the lead in reacting. He leaned down and firmly grasped my arm. Soon Jiang Yilong looked flustered and took another hand. With their joint efforts, my body was finally fixed less than 20 cm above the spear stab.

"Come on, pull me up." the feeling of zero distance contact with death for the first time may not be as simple as fear.

The two of them succeeded in saving me from death, but at this time, I lay on the ground feeling powerless, desperately panting, looking at them with my mouth open for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Fang Wenhu said, "fortunately, I caught you. Otherwise... The consequences... Really, ah. Don't talk. Calm down first."

I nodded. It took me a long time to recover from the thrill just now. Jiang Yilong quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack. I took it and drank it all. "Thank you, brother Fang. Thank you, elder martial brother."

"What nonsense? I'll see you later."

"Yes, younger martial brother. You don't know I was really scared to death just now. I thought I couldn't save you." Jiang Yilong and my feelings are naturally comparable to bloody brothers and sisters. Although the incident happened to me, I can understand his mood at the moment. Soon, he looked at Fang Wenhu and said, "brother Fang, although he said something, I really thank you for saving my junior brother just now."

Hu Qingguo came over, helped me up from the ground, immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to each of us. "It's all right. Don't think about it. Doing our business is begging for food in the hands of the God of death. Don't say anything like that just now. We are all together. We share our blessings and difficulties."

I took several breaths in succession, nodded and said, "I see."
