Following the heavy landing sound, everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to the ground ahead.
Even the remaining four monsters stopped moving.
As soon as the gunfire subsided, all that was left was the echo and the sound of the wind that seemed to become softer.
Then not long after, there was only an eerie silence in the narrow passage of the valley.
But after Mei Qian made a successful move, he did not stay there to show off and accept the admiration and admiration of everyone.
Before the monster could react, he tapped the ground with his toes, quickly bypassed the warrior in front, and was in front of the other monster in an instant, followed by another flash of cold light...
When he was on the ghost ship, Mei Qian had fought with monsters, and he had some understanding of these species, whether they were transformed from humans or evolved from insects.
Although the knife penetrated the chest last time, he had long suspected that the opponent's weak point was at the throat. Unfortunately, it was blocked by the long chin and the bullet could not penetrate.
And all these conjectures have just been verified.
Although the monster will subconsciously protect its vitals, Mei Qian only needs to swing the knife fast enough to defeat the enemy with one move. It is just a matter of slightly tilting the dagger at an angle when shooting.
Such a posture is definitely awkward, and you cannot use your full strength.
But the sharp dagger is enough to cut open the monster's neck, no matter how deep it is, the goal is achieved anyway.
Because of the close-quarters fighting, the SWAT police did not dare to shoot at will even if they were not confident in their marksmanship.
That's how they used the flashlight beam to enjoy a killing show.
The identities of the hunter and the prey were successfully exchanged. This process was not visually stimulating, nor was it passionate. In fact, everyone present could not even see the movements of the killer clearly, and it was even more unscientific.
However, the man in front was doing a simple waving motion, and in less than a minute, he eliminated four monsters that gave the SWAT police a headache and even wanted to fight to the death.
Most beings are born with fear and fear of death, and monsters are no exception. Amidst the short low roar, the last monster slowly backed away while staring at Mei Qian who was walking towards it.
Immediately afterwards, the monster that was attacking fiercely before let out a cry, turned around and ran towards the mountain wall. It seemed that it planned to climb away from the killer star in front of it.
How could Mei Qian let it go his way?
His figure was three points faster than before, and he was behind the monster in almost a flash. Different from the fatal move before, this time he used his legs to sweep the fleeing monster to the ground first, and then took advantage of the opponent to fall.
In an instant, the dagger stabbed the monster's exposed throat...
Not long after, after confirming that there were no more lurking monsters around, the team began to rest on the spot.
Xie Shao walked up to a monster corpse and kicked it with his foot: "I'm afraid this is a new species, right? It's a pity. But it's good, it saves this guy from sneak attacks in secret."
As for the word "pity", it's just a comment. He is not a scientific researcher, and any new scientific discovery is obviously not as important as the safety of his own team members.
Mei Qian smiled, took out the dagger, and planned to return it to him.
Xie Shaoze shook his head repeatedly and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I'll give it to you." He said and handed over the scabbard.
The other party's smile was stiff, but Mei Qian felt the kindness. This dagger was well made, and it looked like it was not ordinary at first glance. It was probably the other party's collection. He used it very smoothly, and he knew that he could not agree with someone like Xie Shao.
It was necessary to be polite, and after a slight hesitation, he thanked me and put the dagger in its sheath in his arms.
Seeing this, Xie Shao was indeed satisfied. He nodded to him and went to see the team member who had sprained his ankle due to nervousness.
At this time, Zhang Yu, who had taken a picture of the monster with his mobile phone, also came over and stared at Mei Qian as if he was meeting him for the first time, praising him again and again.
But before he could ask what he wanted to ask, Ning Chi, who was behind Mei Qian, looked at the country bumpkin with a look that hurt him internally, and he forgot all the words he said.
Little did he know that after being baptized by the ghost ship, Ning Chi was not surprised by anything.
After thinking hard, I finally said: "I had an illusion just now that you are more like a monster than those on the ground."
He knew that Mei Qian was very skilled, and he had also witnessed the opponent fighting a group of mandrills alone, but the speed and decisiveness that Mei Qian had shown before were completely beyond his understanding. Even if he was familiar with the opponent, he could not help but sigh.
"You dare to scold me, I will remember it." Mei Qian was in a good mood at the moment and joked casually.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his ears suddenly moved and he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, leave quickly, there are bugs coming."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Only Ning Chi trembled, as if he thought of some uncomfortable scene, and his face became a little ugly.
However, Mei Qian relied on his strong combat power to have a great say in the team. As soon as he spoke, Xie Shao stopped reprimanding a certain team member and ordered the whole team to set off without even thinking about it.
But before leaving, Mei Qian asked the team doctor for medical alcohol, sprinkled some on each monster's corpse, and then lit them one by one with a lighter.
Sure enough, no matter how hard the monster's skin is after death, when it touches the flames, it quickly turns into a big fireball.
Then, a familiar vision came into his breath, Mei Qian waved his hand quickly, and everyone left quickly.
And not long after they left, the black tide formed by the swarm of insects covered them behind them, rushing towards the flames that were burning more and more like a suicide.
Mei Qian didn't have trypophobia, but he didn't want to see the sea of insects again. Anyway, he just didn't like the bugs that could eat people. He heard the rustling sound getting louder and louder behind him, and together with the others, he quickened his pace.
.
He didn't even think about how much of a mistake he had made for the progress of science by killing monsters and setting fire to the corpses.
Fortunately, there are no biologists here, otherwise, because of lack of support, someone like him would really become a public enemy of the scientific community!!!
Without the hidden threat of monsters, the two police dogs leading the way also acted extremely cheerful, and everyone walked out of the valley without any risk.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that we walked out of the valley, but it is not as narrow as before, and the mountains on both sides are taller, but because of the open space, the sunshine pours down abundantly.
But when the scene appeared in front of him, even Mei Qian, who practiced Buddhist techniques, couldn't help but stop breathing for a moment.
It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave everything a faint blush.
Even the sky is red, and the clouds seem to be pressed very low in the strange environment and atmosphere until they fall, as if they have added a crown to the Buddha statues on both sides.
Yes, the cliffs on both sides were carved into huge Buddha statues by the ancestors. I don’t know what material these two mountains are made of. There is no grass growing on them. Even the Buddha statues are black. They stand with their hands together and look down at their feet at a slightly inclined angle.
The faces of all living beings are hidden in the shadow of the backlight, and they can never be seen clearly.
All of this seems sacred yet terrifying, peaceful yet strange.
This contradictory fusion gives people a visual and spiritual impact that simply cannot be described in words.
And in this weird atmosphere, the only ones unaffected were the two police dogs.
They still led the way dutifully, perhaps because the two-legged creature behind them stopped and called back twice.
Everyone finally came to their senses and sighed. Fortunately, they were strong-minded and could easily get rid of it.
"I have an ominous premonition. We have encountered so many difficulties before we even get there. How big is the tomb of Lord Dachangwa? Once you go to the tomb, will it be densely packed with dangers?" Zhang
Yu's worried whisper came over.
Mei Qian's heart also sank. No wonder Old Man Bai said that there was no news from the several waves he sent here before. There were also swarms of insects in the Lost Forest, and even five monsters appeared. If he hadn't had the Spirit Transformation Seal this time,
I'm afraid I'll have to tell the truth in the valley.
Indeed, as Zhang Yu said, the surrounding area is so dangerous. You can imagine how terrifying the real tomb must be.
At this moment, even Mei Qian, who considered himself a master of tomb robbing, felt unsure...
However, they did not allow them to think for long. Under the leadership of the police dog, as soon as they passed by the feet of the Buddha statue, they saw an open black hole in front of them.
"It was blown apart." One soldier said, pointing to the scattered stone slabs.
"This should be the entrance to the tomb. The suspect has already entered?" Xie Shao frowned, and then solemnly warned everyone: "I don't know what is going on in the tomb, but there must be many risks. Everyone must stay vigilant and obey the command in everything.
You must not touch anything inside, do you understand?"
After getting feedback from the team members, he arranged for half of them to guard the entrance of the cave as backup support.
Originally, Mei Qian and the other three were not allowed to go to the tomb, but even Xie Shao knew about the fame of the tomb robber. With Zhang Yu's simple persuasion, he agreed to accompany him.
Ning Chi, who was gearing up, could only stay outside depressed because he was an "irrelevant" assistant.
Before leaving, Xie Shao actually gave instructions again and then took the lead in walking into the cave entrance.
There is a corridor as soon as you enter, but it can only accommodate two people walking side by side, and there is no decoration on the walls, making it look extremely simple.
But the team entering the tomb did not dare to be careless. They all moved forward slowly and cautiously, for fear of triggering some fatal mechanism.
Probably because he had just entered the tomb, although Mei Qian was always vigilant, he was not as nervous as others.
In his opinion, the mechanism does exist, but whether it is due to poor preservation or its age, except for a few, they are all stuck.
Even if there was a fish that slipped through the net, it was probably destroyed by Old Man Bai. The arrows scattered on the ground were evidence of this.
Surprisingly, this corridor is not long. Even if everyone moved forward cautiously and approached at the slowest speed, they saw an open stone door in just a few minutes.
A police dog that had been brought down suddenly started barking, and everyone stopped in a hurry, raised their guns, and stood guard against the empty stone door.
Mei Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and stared forward in great surprise.
Because, at this moment, there was a strange sound coming from inside the stone door.
The sound sounded like crying or laughing, and was accompanied by soft whispers and the banging of things being smashed.
"There seems to be light!" a soldier whispered.
Indeed, although the space inside seems large, the swaying light source can be clearly seen.
But out of caution, Xie Shao did not order to rush in. Instead, he squatted on the spot and waited quietly.
"It should be safe inside. It's been a long time. If an accident happened, Old Man Bai would have shouted." Mei Qian listened intently, and after a long time his expression became extremely strange.
"Come on!" Xie Shao ordered, and everyone hurriedly quickened their pace and rushed in.
The space inside is indeed very large. Under the light of more than a dozen tactical flashlights, one can clearly see that the surroundings are filled with old wooden boxes. Most of these boxes have decayed, and the cloth and copper wires contained inside are visible to everyone.
In the center of the hall, it was the old man with disheveled hair, but he turned a blind eye to the special police officers who rushed in, and was still smashing a corpse with his flashlight.
While smashing, a series of strange sounds came out of his mouth, which sounded like crying and laughing.
Everyone looked at each other, but two soldiers stepped forward and it took a lot of effort to subdue him completely.
But even though he was handcuffed, Old Man Bai continued to struggle, with a ferocious expression on his face, his cheeks full of tears, but he was smiling as if he was crazy.
"He seems to be crazy!" Xie Shao raised his hand and waved it in front of the other party, frowning.
"Isn't he possessed by evil spirits?" Zhang Yu leaned into Mei Qian's ear and asked in a low voice.
Mei Qian hesitated, glared at him angrily, and sighed in his heart. He ignored everyone and walked around the hall. He finally confirmed that this was really the tomb of the chief minister and the king, and there were no burials at all.
Chamber, ear chamber or secret chamber.
Finally, he turned his attention to the surrounding burial objects.
Except for a few gold items in the open box in the center, the rest of the wooden boxes undoubtedly contain cloth and copper coins, huh? There are also more than a dozen boxes of shells in the corners?
Probably because more than a thousand years have passed, the original color of these pieces cannot be distinguished clearly, and the weathering is so severe that they seem to be dispersed by just blowing on them.
As for the rusty copper coins, the cords on them had long since disappeared, and the coins fell to the ground without any rules.
It turns out that this is the treasure that the country of Dachowa relies on to restore the country...
Come to think of it, Old Man Bai spent a lot of energy, killed so many of his men, and went through all kinds of hardships to enter the tomb, but the result was...
It's like you have prepared yourself mentally and gritted your teeth to prepare for the arrival of the heavy object, but you didn't expect that what you got was a light feather. But because you were too prepared, you used inappropriate force and slipped away.
Mei Qian suddenly understood Old Man Bai's state at this moment, and looked at him with sympathy.
"It's better if there is no danger. We can go back early." He said words of comfort. Zhang Yu seemed to be in the same mood as him, with a strange expression on his face.
Naturally, it was not Mei Qian's turn to take care of the finishing work. He didn't know how the special police would deal with these cultural relics, and he was not in the mood to look at the "tatters" in the tomb anymore. He followed the soldiers escorting Old Man Bai out.
However, in the corridor, he originally wanted to see how crazy Old Man Bai was, but he didn't expect that the other person's next murmur made him freeze on the spot.
Perhaps because he was far away from the bones and funerary objects, Old Man Bai was not as crazy as before, but he still kept mumbling: "Where is the seal? Where is the spirit seal? Why is it not here, why is it not..."
Over and over again, that's it.
Mei Qian quickly came to his senses, and followed the special police officers out of the tomb passage as if nothing had happened. He didn't bother to answer Ning Chi's questions, and sat down on the gravel, facing the red clouds in the sky, and lit a cigarette for himself...
