[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

The primitive jungle in the afternoon was as quiet as before the god of death came. There was no sound of wind or rustling of leaves. It was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. That code appeared from time to time, over and over again.

Nan Xing whispered to Zhang Qiling next to him: "Just now we deduced from the Morse code on the stone carving that this is the entrance, and now there is another death signal here, is there any connection between them? And if this place was transformed by the organization behind Heifeizi After that, the way of entry would only be reserved for their own people, why did they leave Morse code as a clue?"

Zhang Qiling said: "These pieces of Morse code are not so much clues, but more like a screening mechanism to screen out the people they want to attract into it."

Nan Xing stopped his exploration: "You mean, they want us to go in?"

Zhang Qiling nodded, and then clearly typed out the Morse code sensed just now on the stone slab, "We need to go in to find out the root of the matter."

Nan Xing also had the same thought. She knew that in such a situation, even if she knew that there was a trap ahead, it was still not a good choice to escape.Because every day in the future will sink into an atmosphere of suspicion and suspicion, which will cause a situation of panic, so that one's mentality is disturbed, which is the most likely to cause accidents. At this time, the only way to find out its root cause is to find out the truth. in order to solve the problem.

While thinking, Zhang Qiling had already typed the last code.

There was an obvious vibration from under the stone slab, and then, it split from the middle, with a muffled "boom", the stone slab opened to both sides, revealing the deep tunnel underneath.

Nan Xing stood up and said to Zhang Qishan: "This must be the passage leading to the underground palace. You should have noticed that this tomb has been remodeled, and there must be something more dangerous waiting for us inside than the mechanism. You take In the team that came, there are many young people who have not married, it is up to you to decide whether to go, but my brother and I must go in."

Zhang Qishan's style of doing things is vigorous and vigorous, but although he is ruthless to himself, he is very concerned about the lives of others, so in the current situation, he did not issue a military order to let the remaining soldiers accompany him, but gave them the right to choose.

These personal soldiers were also brought over by Zhang Qishan when he came to Changsha from the northeast, and they were very loyal to him. When Zhang Qishan made his choice, everyone did not hesitate. The opened stone door enters the corridor.

Nan Xing didn't say any more, and together with Zhang Qiling, they climbed down from the opened entrance, got into the corridor, turned on the flashlight, and observed the situation of the entire corridor.

This is a trapezoidal tunnel. The excavation method is somewhat similar to that of a robber's hole, because it was dug out entirely by manpower. From the traces left on the cave wall, it can be seen that the direction of excavation should be from the inside to the outside.

indeed in line with the previous guess.

Because it was an escape route left by the craftsmen for themselves, the entire corridor was not dug too high. A group of people hunched their backs and went forward. Nan Xing suggested that everyone replace the flashlights used for lighting with fire pockets. On the one hand, the flashlight with a wider lighting range is reserved for use when needed, and on the other hand, it is also possible to judge whether the oxygen content in the tunnel is reduced according to the burning condition of the fire pocket.

After walking for about two hours, Zhang Qiling in front of the team suddenly stopped, raised his right hand and made a slow gesture.

With a thought in her mind, Nan Xing stopped immediately, Zhang Qiling turned her head and said to her: "There is an insect-breaking path here."

As soon as Nan Xing heard this, he knelt down and took out a shovel to dig up the dirt in the tunnel, and carefully observed it with a flashlight.

Nanpai Taosha has a unique skill called "smell the soil". Just by smelling the soil with your nose, you can tell if there is an ancient tomb underneath. A veteran who smells the soil can even ask the location, age and size of the ancient tomb. Inside the Nine Gates of Changsha, the Wu family is good at smelling soil.

The Zhang family does not belong to any of the northern and southern factions, they have their own unique knowledge system of tomb robbery.Observing the soil is also one of them. In principle, it is similar to the Nanpai's smelling the soil, but one uses the sense of smell and the other uses vision.

After identifying the substances in the soil, Nan Xing turned off the flashlight and said, "Sulfur and mercury are buried in the soil, and Dumasan, Xunhuang 芰, and Lazy Bodhi are added to harmonize each other. So after being buried in the soil, it will not evaporate completely for thousands of years."

Zhang Qishan also squatted down to look at the material in the soil, and then looked at the end of the deep corridor in front of him, "This escape passage must have been built in a hurry, but the craftsmen did not hesitate to stop and bury the broken insect passage. It's a matter of life and death. What are they defending against?"

Nan Xing said: "In general mausoleums, worm tunnels are buried to prevent insects, ants, mice, and cockroaches from damaging the mausoleum. But this worm tunnel is just the opposite. It should be to prevent things inside from escaping."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers behind couldn't help but tremble.

They have been in Jiumen for a long time, and they know more or less about the things in the tomb.

Some tomb owners do like to keep some rare and exotic beasts as burial companions, and these rare and exotic beasts often do not die after being buried alive, and continue to evolve into extremely sinister monsters in such an extremely gloomy environment underground.

"We're not far from the tomb, let's keep going." Zhang Qiling took the fire booklet and headed into the front of the corridor.

Nan Xing also got up to catch up, and Zhang Qishan gestured to the team behind him, meaning to keep going, and the soldiers behind him didn't dare to fall too far behind, so they hurriedly followed.

Adjutant Zhang thought for a while, and finally ordered the soldiers to take out the prepared self-made gas masks in advance so that they could be worn at any time.If there are insects, ants, mice, and cockroaches in front, there is a high probability that there will be toxic substances.

He took several pairs of gas masks, gave one to Zhang Qishan for backup, and took two more to catch up with Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing.

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, Nan Xing shook his head with a smile, and explained to the adjutant: "Thank you for your concern, we generally don't need it, and the poisonous gas has very little effect on us."

The adjutant didn't insist anymore, he just put away the mask and returned to the rear of the team.

A group of people continued to move forward, and soon discovered the second and third insect-breaking roads paved with insect-repelling secret medicine.

As they walked, just when everyone was in a trance, Zhang Qiling's calm voice instantly lifted everyone's spirits: "There is something ahead."

Everyone raised their heads and looked ahead, only to see a huge underground space suddenly at the end of the corridor, and there was faint blue light shining through it.
