The knocked down Mantis stood up from the ground. Because her face was turned behind her, she also deliberately turned her body around to face the front.

"you you……"

Scarface pointed a trembling finger at the mantis. He backed away repeatedly. Because of the extreme fear, he could not even say a complete sentence.

"What's wrong with me?"

Seeing Scarface pointing at him in such panic, Mantis lowered his head in confusion, but what he saw was his back and heels.

"Oh, it seems that it has been exposed!"

Mantis slowly raised her head. At this time, her pupils had completely turned black, and a strange smile appeared on her face. Against the backdrop of the blood, she looked particularly scary.

Mo Shouchen and Hu Jiu shouted in unison: "Be careful! She is not a mantis!"

Before he finished speaking, Mantis had already rushed towards Scarface, and at the same time stabbed his chest with a cold light in his right hand.

At this time, Scarface was completely frightened and didn't know how to escape.

Just when he was about to be hit, there was a "dang" sound and a figure flashed in front of him.

It’s the fourth child!

Lao Si used the engineer shovel to block the dagger in Mantis's hand, and then slashed it towards Mantis' head.

Although the mantis's back is facing forward, it does not affect her agility at all.

She turned sideways and easily dodged Lao Si's engineer shovel, and then she turned back and slashed towards Lao Si's neck with a knife.

Normally, if a person's arm is twisted behind the back, the arm cannot move in a wide range due to joint limitations.

However, with its back facing forward, the mantis's arms attacked Lao Si at an incredible angle, completely unaffected by the joints.

The two people were fighting together. Although the fourth child's combat power was obviously stronger than that of Mantis, because Mantis was not restricted by his joints at all, he could always attack the fourth child from some tricky angles.

And even if Lao Si's engineer shovel slashed her body, she didn't react at all, as if it was not her body that was slashed.

So for a while, the two people couldn't tell the winner.

Mo Shouchen stood far away. Although he couldn't help much, he kept observing the mantis.

He discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the shadow of the mantis was a little faster than her body, as if the shadow was driving her body to make various movements.

Could it be that the ghost from before is controlling the mantis' corpse?

After thinking of this possibility, Mo Shouchen shouted to Master Tuesday: "Second Master, use the hair mound seal to cover her shadow."

Zhou Yeye can be considered a person who has experienced storms. After being reminded by Mo Shouchen, he immediately reacted, took out the Qiu Seal and rushed towards the shadow of the praying mantis on the wall.

Perhaps feeling threatened, the mantis no longer wanted to fight. She bent down and lay on the ground, then quickly climbed to the root of the wall on her hands and knees like a spider, then climbed up along the wall, and finally hung upside down on the ceiling of the cave.

The light sources were all below. After climbing to the top of the cave, her shadow also ran up to the top. Mr. Tuesday could not reach her shadow at all.

Because Mantis's head had been twisted behind her back, her face was facing downwards. She bared her teeth at the people below, as if in provocation.

"F*ck!"

Master Zhou was so angry that he cursed, then took out his pistol and shot three times in Mantis's head.

"Bah bang bang!"

All the bullets hit Mantis' head, and one bullet even hit her eye, directly popping the eyeball inside.

But even so, the mantis still did not fall from the cave roof. She only heard her scream, then turned around and ran towards the way she came, and disappeared into the darkness.

"What happened to the mantis? Why doesn't it die even if it's hit in the head?"

There was no emotion in Master Zhou's tone, as if the person he had just hit in the head was just a monster that had nothing to do with him.

"The mantis has turned into a ghost. Of course ghosts are not afraid of bullets."

Scarface said with lingering fear, if Lao Si hadn't helped him block Mantis' dagger just now, he would be a cold corpse now.

Mo Shouchen shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"I don't think Mantis turned into a ghost. She was probably controlled by the ghost on the chain bridge, so what we encountered was just her body."

"That's no different from a ghost!"

Although he was refuting Mo Shouchen, Scarface's attitude was completely different from before.

It seemed that he was really frightened. Even when Mo Shouchen pretended to punch him just now, he seemed to have forgotten it and didn't care at all.

Master Zhou shook the gun in his hand and said: "No matter who she is, as long as she dares to show up again, I will never spare her!"

Then he pointed at the fourth child: "Lao Si, you are walking at the back. If you see her following you, tell me immediately!"

"Yeah." The fourth child nodded.

Several people set off again. Just as Mo Shouchen had expected, they were already very close to the imperial mausoleum. This time, they didn't walk long before they saw a stone gate appearing in front of them.

The wall and ground in front of the stone gate were covered with dense arrows. Someone must have triggered the mechanism here.

However, no corpses were seen among these arrows, and there was no trace of blood, which meant that the person who triggered the mechanism was not hit.

In fact, a repeating crossbow mechanism like this should be considered the least difficult trap for experienced tomb robbers.

Because once the repeating crossbow mechanism is triggered, all the arrows will be shot at once.

So if you want to break this trap, you just need to find a way to trigger the trap from a long distance, and then wait for the arrows to finish shooting.

For safety reasons, Hu Jiu stepped forward to check on his own. After making sure that no arrows would be shot, he led the others to the stone gate.

The stone gate in front of me is taller than the previous stone gates. It should be the sealed stone gate.

The so-called stone sealing gate means that when building the imperial tomb, craftsmen would dig a trench in advance and then place a round stone.

When the tomb door is finally closed, the stone ball will roll down along the groove to the door, just enough to catch the tomb door, thus sealing the tomb door.

It is impossible to open a sealed stone door like this from the outside, so the only way is to blow open the tomb door.

However, a gap has been blown under the stone sealing gate. It is probably done by Ah Fu and the others, which can be regarded as saving Hu Jiu a lot of trouble.

The sealing stone gate is very thick and the gap is very small, so it is not clear what is inside from the outside.

Mo Shouchen climbed in through the gap first, but as soon as he leaned out half of the gap, he noticed that there seemed to be someone on the left side of the door.

He turned around and saw a figure holding a sword high, preparing to chop off his head...
