Tomb Raider Bronze Door Twins

Chapter 155 The old demon meets the baby

The eyeballs placed in the wall fell out with a gurgling sound. Wu Mi's attempt to explain was completely silenced as everyone's attention was diverted.

This time, Zhang Qiling did not raise his eyes, but just looked to his right. There was a rectangular door cracked on the smooth wall.

He approached tentatively, but was blocked by Jie Yuchen's dragon-patterned stick. Zhang Qiling glanced at the other party, not knowing why, but also sensing concern in the man's eyes. So he slowed down his pace a little, and only walked forward after the stone gate collapsed like an old tombstone after years of erosion.

Behind the door is a very short corridor, and in the tomb chamber behind it, due to the instant injection of oxygen, the eternal lamps that had been extinguished once again spanned thousands of years and emitted new light.

Zhang Qiling placed his right hand beside his ear, held his breath, and signaled everyone not to move forward.

Because he clearly saw that behind the screen that had not yet been completely oxidized, there was a coffin that was larger than the human body, extremely large, and winding like a twisted snake. Moreover, the coffin lid did not seem to be tight, and he could even see black turbid air constantly leaking out from the gaps.

Needless to say, this matter of life and death has been deeply rooted in Zhang Qiling's mind.

His silence made the fat man anxious, "Brother Qi Ling, what's in this door?"

After all, the narrowness of the stone door and the collapsed debris successfully allowed Zhang Qiling's body to directly block the prying sight of others.

"Coffin, rice dumplings." Zhang Qiling felt that there was nothing to be shy about, so he said it directly.

His words made Wu Yu, who had an encyclopedia in his head, exclaim in surprise, "Qi Ling, is that coffin very big? And it must be wrapped in a layer of nanmu wood."

Zhang Qiling looked back and felt the water almost reaching his chest. He didn't say anything for a long time. Perhaps it was because he completely lacked the curiosity that a human should have.

Fortunately, Wu Yu was very willing to take the initiative to be the person to answer the question.

"That's right! When we first came in, I thought this tomb was so weird. At that time, I just thought that the owner of the tomb was too extravagant. He actually placed the precious red sandalwood so close to the entrance as a decoy. Isn't that clearly telling people that there would be more valuable things in the tomb and then luring people to go deeper?" Wu Yu said clearly.

The fat man at the side quickly said, "Yes, at that time I thought that coffin was really valuable, and I hurriedly said I would open it, but it turned out that Squidward had made his nest in it! Later, the deeper we went in, the more old objects we saw. I still remember that the furnace tripod made of pure gold was worth a lot of money!"

"Fatty, you're right. These things just prove the purpose of the tomb owner, which is to let people see these gold and silver treasures that cannot be taken away, so as to magnify their own desires and continue to enter the lower levels!

Moreover, the entrance here is too obvious. A deep valley suddenly appeared in Changbai Mountain. Even if tomb raiders don't come here, there are still a constant stream of climbers every year. Why is there not a single corpse here?" Wu Yu's analysis made sense.

Zhang Qiling was ready to go in at this time. He probably guessed the purpose of the tomb owner, so he just said two words, "Feed."

"Feed?" Xie Yuchen chewed the word in his mouth, and quickly thought of something, so he asked in search of an answer, "It's because the entrance here is obvious, so anyone who is curious will die once they come in, and their bodies will naturally be eaten by the fish you call Zhihe Luoyu."

Zhang Qiling had already walked in with a knife in hand, while Xie Yuchen instantly stopped talking and, at Wu Yu's constant eye signals, stopped here, ready to be the one to cover the rear. They obviously left Yan Bucun out.

And now, the people who complain the loudest are the fat people.

"If you ask me, the owner of this tomb is just a person with nothing to do. He eats garlic and onions without thinking of distinguishing good from bad. He even wants to raise that monster after his death. Could it be that this Heluo fish is more precious than his life?"

After the fat man finished speaking, he stopped Wu Yu and started to move sideways first, but his belly was squeezed by the narrow entrance, which did not feel good. He looked up at Wu Yu and Jie Yuchen for help.

Wu Yu also spoke from the bottom of his heart at the right time, "Fatty, you really should lose weight!"

"Naive, how could you understand..."

Before the fat man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Yu, who knew the lines. "How can you understand the charm of my fat body? Fatty, can you change your words? You said this last time, why are you saying this this time too?"

"Stop kidding, that person is waiting for you in front." Xie Yuchen interrupted their inappropriate antics in time and helped by kneading the fat man's belly into a round shape before he could just stuff it in.

Fortunately, apart from the small entrance, the corridor was still quite wide, and the space in the tomb chamber was also large. Zhang Qiling just wore the red jade beads, walked slowly, and stared at the unknown gas leaking from the coffin.

The fat man walked to Zhang Qiling and understood everything when he saw the whole picture of the tomb. Why was there so much gold and silver jewels blocking the water outlet in front? It turned out that all the rich people were here. The splendor here was almost blinding. The gold objects covered with dust still exuded a unique brilliance, as if constantly tempting people to commit crimes.

He couldn't control his instinctive desire and stretched out his hand, but Zhang Qiling pressed it down directly, "Hold your breath."

The fat man didn't seem to notice the black gas, but he quickly came back to his senses from the golden pile and covered his mouth and nose with his big palms. However, he couldn't hold his breath for too long, so he just blinked at Zhang Qiling, signaling himself to step back and breathe in some air secretly.

Wu Di and Jie Yuchen at the back went in one after another, leaving Yan Bucun behind. The reason was simply that no matter where they put him, Wu Di felt uneasy. He would feel uncomfortable if the other party got too close to Zhang Qiling, and he would also feel disgusted if the other party got too close to him. What's more, he was more afraid that his obvious attitude would bring about revenge from the other party.

Although Wu Yu couldn't understand why he, who had always been good-tempered, was now so jealous, when things went smoothly, he put all the disturbing emotions behind him.

"Hold your breath." Zhang Qiling was afraid that others who came in later might not hear him, so he said it again.

Wu Yu obeyed Zhang Qiling's orders to an extent beyond imagination. Although he was overwhelmed by anger, his body would subconsciously execute such orders. He covered his mouth and nose, and stared at Zhang Qiling's back with his soft eyes.

Although Zhang Qiling mentioned the existence of zongzi just now, it seems that his focus is not on that. After all, Wu Yu feels that the parts he has studied are all inanimate objects. If he is asked to talk about which dynasty this tomb belongs to, what material the coffin is made of, and to speculate on the story told by the murals, he can talk about a universe. But if he mentions zongzi that are neither alive nor dead, he really can't come up with any useful knowledge.

Zhang Qiling's left shoulder was not suitable for movement, but he still pulled out the soft blade from his waist. The blood had been almost diluted by water, and he gradually got used to the pain. This blade was not as useful as the black gold ancient sword, but for the safety of everyone, his actions always had to have an extra layer of protection. If the sword broke, he could immediately use the second one to replace it.

Yan Bugun, who came last, did not care about Wu Yu's childish behavior of exclusion. After all, he was an "adult" who had lived for more than a thousand years. Compared with a "child" who was only in his twenties, he was like an old demon meeting a baby and could only spoil the old one.

Although Yan Bugun had lost his sense of smell, he still pretended to cover his nose. He was curious about what was so strange about the coffin, but he couldn't tell what was inside. He could only roughly tell that it was not a soul, at least, it should not be considered a living thing.

In the tomb, there were so many things that were not living but could move that it was like a sea and a mountain. Yan Bucun wanted to take a few steps closer to take a closer look, but was almost tripped by Xie Yuchen.

Yan Bucun scratched his nose and shyly curved his eyes into crescents to please him. He had really forgotten that besides Wu Yu, there was another person who was so hostile to him.

But his embarrassed smile did not win Xie Yuchen a good face, but instead made the situation worse. He could clearly see that the other party's brows were frowned even tighter in disgust.

Zhang Qiling looked at the coffin that didn't look like it was made for humans, so he took action. His knife was embedded in the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body. Then he pressed the handle of the knife and pried it hard. The nanmu coffin lid was not soaked in water for many years, but was dry like an unpolished old bark, and it actually cracked directly.

As the pieces fell, Zhang Qiling poked his head out, only to find that this was only the first layer, and the second layer was bronze. He touched the patterns on it, but found that the marks were too broken to make out what kind of text it was. He only knew that the densely carved marks looked like taboo words.

Zhang Qiling's effort to pry open the coffin made the fat man want to step forward to help. He took a step and wanted to leave, but was held back by Xie Yuchen and Wu Yu.

The fat man gestured with one hand and made a lot of faces, and it was not known whether Xie Yuchen and Wu Yu understood him or not. He was so anxious that his face turned red.

But his eagerness did not make Xie Yuchen and Wu Yu let go. Instead, they held on tighter and tighter.

Because the fat man's abnormality was too obvious. The man who had said in the past that he would make Wu Yu realize his own strength, actually lost his mind and wanted to rush up to help Zhang Qiling regardless of anything, as if he could not see the turbid air that was as black as the bottom of a pot and enough to swallow people.

Wu Yu couldn't figure out what was influencing people to have such different external behaviors and internal psychology, but the strangeness of the fat man made him realize at least one thing, that is, his out-of-control emotions were no different from the fat man's dementia. Perhaps, this really wasn't his problem?
