However, this centipede has lived for more than 1000 years, and the skin on its body is like a wall of copper and iron. This shot will not hurt it at all.

After hitting the centipede, the bullet bounced back and hit the stone wall.

All this happened so fast, before the other three could react, Yu San had already fired twice, and his hand was still raised high, as if he was about to fire the third shot.

Gu Xiaoning quickly stopped him: "Stop!"

Yu San turned around to look at Gu Xiaoning, and said tremblingly, "Gu...Brother Gu, I want to stop too, but my hand...it won't obey me."

Chen Shu turned his head and glanced at him, then quickly snatched his gun and stuffed it into his backpack.

But it's too late now, the centipede was not hurt by the shot, but was completely enraged, let out a deep roar from its mouth, and hurriedly crawled towards them, opened its bloody mouth, and its white fangs were facing towards them. The headed black hat bit the past.

With quick eyes and quick hands, the black hat quickly dodged and avoided the blow.

The centipede missed the bite, and went to attack Gu Xiaoning and the others again. Yu San crawled and crawled in fright, and found a small corner, crouched there with his head in his arms, curled up in a ball and shivered, Chen Shu and Gu Xiaoning ran wildly, and the centipede was behind. Reluctantly chasing after him, hundreds of legs crawled quickly, making dust flying.

Chen Shu gritted his teeth, took out Yu San's pistol from his bag, turned his head while running, and fired several shots at the centipede.

The empty place is not that spacious, but the centipede is huge and it is difficult to dodge. These few shots all hit its body.

However, its skin was thick and hard, like armor, and the bullets couldn't hurt it at all, and bounced out after hitting the body.

The centipede became even more angry, roared, flapped its fleshy wings and flew forward for a while, trying to grab Gu Xiaoning and Chen Shu with its two front paws.

Gu Xiaoning dragged Chen Shu to roll on the ground, avoiding its claws, the centipede caught nothing, circled in the air, and flew back again.

Chen Shu pointed the muzzle of the gun at the centipede's stomach and pulled the trigger. After several clicks, no bullets flew out. Only then did he realize that there was no bullet in the chamber.

Seeing that the centipede's claws were about to grab it, Gu Xiaoning gritted his teeth, lifted up a big rock next to him with great effort, and threw it towards the centipede's front claws.

The centipede reacted quickly, and dodged it as soon as it raised its foot, and at the same time moved a little slower.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Xiaoning quickly dragged Chen Shu away.

The black hat pointed to the front and shouted: "Run!"

So the three hurriedly ran towards that side, Yu San kept hiding, the centipede didn't notice him, but he was afraid that the centipede would attack him with all its strength after the three left, so he gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed.

"Wait for me!"

The black hat led everyone to run wildly all the way, and quickly ran to the other side of the hollow. The road here is relatively narrow, and the further you go, the narrower it becomes. Yu San struggled to walk, and couldn't help shouting.

"What the hell kind of place is this? I'm squeezed to death, Brother Gu, wait for me!"

The centipede was still chasing after it, but because of its huge body, it couldn't squeeze in at all, so it could only be in a hurry. It kept pulling its front paws hard, and with a big mouth, it actually gnawed off a large piece of rock.

Going forward is a dead end, so everyone had to stop and hide in this narrow place. Fortunately, the centipede couldn't get in for a while, so they were still safe.

Gu Xiaoning panted and looked around here, and then looked at the other side of the hole through the cracks in the stone, feeling a little puzzled for a while.

"Why is there a crack here? We didn't see it when we were looking for the exit just now."

Yu San also said with a strange expression: "Yeah, I'm wondering too."

The black hat turned on the flashlight, and after some observation, he made a discovery.

"Look at the crack in the rock, it's not the same color as the rock outside, it must have been shaken open when the centipede came out just now."

Chen Shu looked at the centipede with lingering fear, then looked at the section in the crevice of the stone, and said, "Fortunately, there is no ore here, or I will die."

Gu Xiaoning took a look, nodded, glanced casually, and suddenly saw something in the crevice of the stone.

Under the crack of the stone, there is a small metal ring, half of which is buried in the stone, and the other half is exposed to the air, and it quickly turns dark green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is this?"

Gu Xiaoning was very cautious and didn't rush to touch her.

The black hat observed for a moment, took out an iron rod from the bag, and knocked tentatively.

The stone shattered, revealing the other half of the golden copper ring.

Not long after this half of the copper ring appeared, it quickly turned dark green, looking a little stale.

The black hat continued to knock on the stone, and broke open a large piece of the stone wall next to the copper ring in one breath. The stones in the hollow were extremely hard, but those near the copper ring were extremely soft, like solidified sand.

But after a while, the thing under the copper ring appeared in front of everyone.

Yu San was quite surprised, but he didn't dare to act hastily.

"Honey, is this a door?"

Below the copper ring is a metal animal head, and further down is a black-gold gate carved with intricate patterns.

Only a small half of the door was exposed. If all the stones were knocked open, the door would be more than ten meters high at least.

The black hat looked up for a moment, and quickly confirmed its judgment.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the exit of the tomb."

Gu Xiaoning stretched out his hand, touched the stone wall near the gate, looked at his fingers, and found something.

"It wasn't the stone that was knocked off just now, it was probably the sealing soil that was poured on the tomb when it was sealed. It was a special kind of mud, similar to the current concrete."

Yu San saw that he had started to touch it, so he boldly touched it himself.

"It's true, the colors are a little different. Brother Gu observes it really carefully. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed."

The ancient "concrete" is not as hard as today's concrete, let alone compared with modern cement. After thousands of years, it is not as strong as it was when it was first built. Therefore, the black hat only uses an iron rod to knock it open. so much.

But the black hat had a dignified expression, and said worriedly: "The soil is inside the door, which means that the door was also sealed from the inside."

Chen Shu couldn't understand, and couldn't help asking: "Seal from the inside, how do those craftsmen get out? It's impossible to wade across the river like us, right?"

Hearing the word "river water", Yu San immediately thought of those leeches, his heart trembled, and his calf ached.

Following what the black hat said, Gu Xiaoning thought of something, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"These craftsmen probably didn't go out."

Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that he didn't know much about tomb robbers, but he had watched the TV series.
