"Is it related to those bones?" Song Lingshan asked.
"That's right." Lin Yi nodded: "I always feel that there are living things in this tomb, and those people may have been eaten by that thing."
"Gravekeeper?" Yu Xiaoke couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing Lin Yi's words.
"What is a tomb keeper?" Lin Yi was not a thief, so naturally he had never heard of a tomb keeper.
"Tombkeepers are the guardians of the tomb. These people were originally the servants of the owner of the tomb. Later, they may be the descendants of the servants or the servants of the servants, but now there are very few of them.
Such a thing exists." Yu Xiaoke said.
"You mean, there is a tombkeeper in this ancient tomb? Did he eat these people?" Lin Yi asked.
"It may be a human, but it may also be a spiritual beast, a tomb-guarding spiritual beast. It is recorded in some ancient tomb-robbing notes. This is a kind of spiritual beast that exists specifically to guard tombs and lives in ancient tombs.
Guarding the safety of the ancient tomb, when no one is around, it lives in a state of tortoise breath, similar to hibernation. But once someone breaks in, this tomb-guarding spirit beast will wake up and eat those who want to rob the tomb.
People eat them as food to satisfy their hunger, and then go into hibernation again..." Yu Xiaoke explained: "If these people were not eaten by their companions, they were probably eaten by the tomb-guarding beasts."
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lin Yi was a little surprised: "Then Lao Hei and the others don't know?"
"Maybe I know it, maybe I don't know it, because it's just a legend. I also saw it in some ancient books about tomb robbers. Maybe it was made up by some people to scare people. In short, I haven't heard of anyone encountering it in these years.
I have encountered tomb guardian beasts and tomb guardians, but they have never lived in ancient tombs. They all live near ancient tombs!" Yu Xiaoke said: "And these tomb guardians have passed through dozens of generations.
Even after hundreds of generations, many of them don’t even know the location of the ancient tombs, they just know the legend of an ancestor.”
"That's it." Lin Yi nodded, guessing that this tomb-guarding spirit beast, just like the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit that his old man saw, is a rare existence, and few people believe it anymore: "Then
These people will probably encounter the legendary tomb-guarding spirit beast, which is really exciting."
"Then these people...will they also be eaten?" Song Lingshan's brows wrinkled unnoticeably.
"Who knows?" Lin Yi shrugged.
Song Lingshan didn't say anything else. What happened was beyond her expectation. Although she didn't want these tomb robbers to die and wanted to bring them to justice, she couldn't do whatever she wanted now. Even Lin Yi didn't
Nothing can be done!
If Lin Yi was sure, he wouldn't sit here and wait.
Therefore, after Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian looked at each other, they both fell into silence. Forget it, as long as they could arrest the minions who were staying above, it would be a gain.
"By the way...Male thief, can I ask you something?" Yu Xiaoke finally couldn't help but ask. She and the male thief hadn't spoken a few words before, and they weren't very familiar with each other, so she didn't dare to say more.
But now the two of them have talked a lot, and Yu Xiaoke is not as nervous as before.
"What's going on?" Lin Yi asked.
"You...why do you want to help me?" Yu Xiaoke hesitated and asked.
"Oh..." Lin Yi didn't know whether he should reveal his identity. He pondered for a moment and decided to let go of the trouble for the time being, so he smiled and said: "I think you are beautiful, and I want to marry you as my little wife, okay?"
"Gah?" Yu Xiaoke's eyes widened, and his face turned red at Lin Yi's words. He coughed twice and stammered: "No... isn't it?"
Seeing Yu Xiaoke's surprised look, Lin Yi smiled and said, "So it's best not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
"Oh..." Yu Xiaoke nodded, but still a little embarrassed.
Song Lingshan was so angry at the side that she almost jumped up and pointed at Lin Yi and asked, "What's wrong with me? Why would you rather find a female thief as your wife than consider me? You're so angry, you're so angry!"
"Haha——" Lin Yi thought Yu Xiaoke was quite funny.
"How...are you worth?" After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaoke suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"It's nothing. It just depends on how much you are worth, whether you are worthy of being my wife, and how much dowry gift you can give me?" Yu Xiaoke asked with a very serious look.
"I'm joking." Lin Yi looked at Yu Xiaoke's serious look and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yi probably guessed what Yu Xiaoke was thinking. She might think that the husband and wife robbers should be very rich. How can grave robbers have no money? Maybe she also saw that it is too dangerous to help others rob tombs, especially this
Once, it failed and failed, so I came up with the idea of selling myself out. If I could sell it at a good price and let the orphanage have no worries, I'm afraid Yu Xiaoke would really nod and agree.
In her eyes, it seems that there is no interest and happiness of her own at all, only the children in the orphanage...
"Haha, I was joking too..." Yu Xiaoxiao smiled.
In fact, Lin Yi really guessed it right. Yu Xiaoke really thought just like Lin Yi. If Lin Yi could spend a sum of money, he could build the orphanage very well, and he could also
So that the orphanage will not have to worry about spending money for a long, long time in the future, then Yu Xiaoke can be his little wife or a maid!
However, Yu Xiaoke shook his head mockingly. He was not a golden phoenix, so why did he spend so much money? Is it possible? It is estimated that these thoughts of his can make the male thief bankrupt, even if he really marries her as his mistress.
It means that even if you listen to your request, you will be scared away!
The four of them waited here for a while, and after about half an hour, suddenly there was the sound of messy footsteps coming from the passage ahead again.
"Are they back?" Song Lingshan asked after hearing the footsteps.
"It seems he ran back?" Chen Yutian frowned in confusion.
"Not good!" Lin Yi's heart suddenly sank. The early warning signal of the jade pendant was getting stronger and stronger. In other words, Yu Lao, Lao Hei and others had also brought the danger back!
Sure enough, those messy footsteps were accompanied by shrill screams!
"Help...it's not good! There's a ghost...there's a ghost in this tomb, it's going to eat people..."
This is Lao Hei's cry. Listening to his voice, it seems that he has been frightened out of fear and has become extremely sharp! But even so, he kept howling: "Lao Yu, wait a moment, don't throw it away
