Chapter 3 Xiling
Chapter 3 Xiling
The special butter torch is lit. This huge big torch can burn for nearly two hours. It is one of the high-tech equipment of the Yanlong Empire. At this time, there was one person entering the tomb, and there were still two in each person's back backpack. Xiao Wangshu's attention to the Mausoleum of Haishen has reached its peak.
The vast fire dragon showed the slenderness of Yongdao, but it still couldn't drive away the gloomy chill. The green brick walls on both sides of the huge corridor are shining with eccluded light, and it is still clear and cold under the firelight.
The corridor of Xiling is extremely elegant, and the builders of the Haishen Mausoleum don't seem to care about these expensive green bricks at all. If it weren't for the cold atmosphere, it would be a luxury cloister of the royal family. Everyone marveled secretly all the way, feeling that the glory of the sea god in those years was really no less than that of the emperor.
They walked a cup of tea, and the road in front of them became wider and wider. Between the neat cyan wall tiles, there began to be some dusty tall stone pillars, the position of the top wall of the stone pillars, and even gorgeous reliefs, which shows the luxury of that year.
But at this time, there is no other sound except the footsteps of everyone. The sad cry I heard last night also seemed to be scared away by everyone, and I don't know which corner I hid in.
It was dull and quiet, and everyone felt that the footsteps were like stepping on their hearts. The too tight nerves had made their faces begin to sweat coldly.
After walking for nearly half an hour in this tense atmosphere, the door finally appeared in front of me. The two ancient texts on the portal, according to the dictionary, mean "Xiling". According to the calculation of the journey, this place has been under the Red Earth City and almost reached the central area of the Red Earth City.
"Strange." Su Yong waved his torch and shone on the two big words on his head, and murmured doubtfully.
Their captains are at the forefront, following their respective queues. Hearing this, he laughed and forgot the book and others also stopped and looked at him inquiringly.
"Have you noticed it?" Su Yong carefully stared at the back of the huge door and whispered, "This ancient text seems to be a little similar to Yanlong's text, but the strokes have changed slightly. But the stone pillar reliefs seen along the way are like things from the West.
The reliefs I saw along the way were so familiar that Su Yong thought about it seriously and almost jumped up. How can the relief be so similar to those gorgeous patterns of ancient Greece in the previous life? It's just... Why did it combine with the green bricks of Yanlong thousands of years ago?
When he said this, Xiao Changfeng also jumped up suddenly: "No wonder I look a little familiar and seem to have seen it. I remember that the giant wheels of those red people are also engraved with such patterns."
He woke everyone up with one word, and everyone couldn't help nodding. Su Yong was even more surprised. Is this sea god still a Westerner? Isn't it Poseidon, the god of sea in Greek mythology in the West?
But after a while, he shook his head again. This place is the Yanlong Continent, and he fought against the invasion of the sea people, which had nothing to do with Greek mythology.
I don't know if I still have to move on. Turning through this huge arch made of green bricks, everyone passed through the extremely long dark corridor and entered a dark lobby with the size of the school yard.
However, the torches in the front queue had not yet illuminated the outline of the lobby. A strong wind suddenly rolled up in the dark depths, and a sad scream suddenly exploded. A huge shadow fell from the air, and the five or six soldiers walking on the far left were thrown to the ground by the shadow before they could raise their steel knives. They only had time to exclaim, and the torch in their hands fell weakly.
At the moment when the shadow fell, there was also a flash of white light in the hand of the fastest-reacting Xiao Wangshu.
The screams of the huge dark shadow followed the screams of several soldiers, but it was as unpleasant as a broken gong. After everyone felt goose bumps, the huge figure lying on the ground struggled for a few times, and finally calmed down and stopped moving.
The torches of the soldiers approached again, and Su Yong saw that it was a huge bloody bat. The blood bat is about the size of three people, and after its wings are stretched out, it can cover more than a dozen people.
Although there are blood-sucking bats in the legend, how have people ever seen such a huge blood bat?
At this moment, there is a sharp sword in the neck of the blood bat, and the two big eyes that can't see are staring, which looks extremely horrible.
And several soldiers killed under it died miserably. Just as the wings of the giant bat were waved, these soldiers were all cut off their heads or half of their bodies, and the ground was covered with flesh and blood.
Even if everyone is an iron-blooded general, they also feel a chill at this moment, and several people can't help squatting down and vomiting.
"Be careful, everyone." The clear voice of Xiao Wangshu sounded, with some magical and stable mind power: "Don't be scattered, concentrate together, and rely on each other."
The team quickly condensed into a circle, and everyone raised the steel knife, facing the dark and gloomy periphery, for fear of rushing over something the next moment.
At this time, there was a little rustling sound in front of Su Yong, and there seemed to be some dust in the air.
A bold soldier beside him couldn't help but draw his knife. As soon as the soldier stretched out his torch, he saw a dim green light rushing from the darkness.
Just as the soldier was stunned, a blood-red knife light rushed in front of him and broke the green light in half.
However, although the green light was broken, it still hit the soldier with a bang and suddenly emitted an unpleasant smell. The green light seemed to be a big bubble. At this moment, the broken green juice sprinkled on the brave soldier, and a large strand of white smoke came out.
The soldier rolled and howled on the ground in pain until his body stopped. His body wrapped in armor was about to burn into coke.
"Don't act rashly. These things are poisonous." Su Yong was shocked, picked up his toes, and kicked the torch that the soldier had fallen into the darkness.
Under the firelight, I faintly saw that the broken thing seemed to be a big bug, but at this moment, all the juice had been leaked out, and there was a little green skin left.
Su Yongyi turned his mind, and the torch on the ground jumped forward again, burning the green skin into ashes in an instant.
After suddenly encountering two things, everyone became nervous and no longer moved forward rashly. They just waved the torch to see the surrounding environment. And several captains are divided into four sides and are responsible for the protection in a certain direction.
However, after several captains were highly focused and explored again, they found that there was no sound in the lobby, and the monsters seemed to have disappeared.
At the sign of Xiao Wangshu and others, the soldiers threw some torches forward.
In the light of fire, they moved slowly and gradually saw the environment of the lobby.
The lobby is square, and the surrounding walls are full of white rock blocks, which are engraved with countless reliefs. These reliefs are more exquisite than the patterns seen in the corridor. The pattern is also more complicated.
There is a huge stone statue in each of the four corners of the lobby. The stone statues are about ten meters high and act as pillars one by one to support the high top of the lobby.
The four huge stone statues are carved like an angel-like strange man with a pair of wings, but they have a horse body with four legs. Four horse feet stretched out slightly from the front of the wall, with a great visual impact, which was amazing.
Although these stone statues are covered with dust, they still look lifelike, and even the body is full of a sense of fitness. It seems that there is really a surging power under the cold rock.
On the stone wall facing the intruder, there are three tall and huge arches, which is undoubtedly the passage from Xiling to the Mausoleum of Nepence.
There is nothing else in this lobby except the huge blood bat and the green monster. It can be seen that the two monsters also crawl out of these arches.
The three arches are the same size, but the engraving on each arch is different.
Several people opened the dictionary and compared it.
"This is called 'Gate of Blood and Light'." Hong Yuanba pointed to the first archway. At this time, everyone could also see clearly that there was a bat engraved on the plaque of the door, but there seemed to be a small fish-shaped animal under the bat.
The other two are "Gate of Slaughter" and "Gate of Bad Luck". There is a worm and a spider on the door respectively. Under the worm and the spider, there is also a sea image. One seems to be an octopus, and the other is a bit like a sea snake.
"The marine life below seems to be their sacrifice." Su Yong pointed to the small image on the door plaque and analyzed it.
At this moment, I don't know which arch, suddenly there was a very harsh and sad cry.
