Chapter 552: A National Treasure at the Artifact Level (1)
Chapter 552 National Treasure at the Artifact Level (Part 1)
"Brother Qing, what's shouting outside?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
At the same time, Tian Tian also looked at He Qing in shock.
The strange scream came so suddenly. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising.
He Qing naturally heard it, shook his head and said: "I don't know either. Haitao, don't say anything yet."
As he spoke, he turned his head and listened.
"Cuckoo, croak..." The strange sound rang again, and it rang several times in a row. Although the sound was low, it echoed loudly in the ancient tomb, so it could be heard clearly.
Hearing the sound, He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at each other, with expressions of horror on their faces.
Is there really a ghost?
The mechanism of the ancient tomb was cracked, and someone broke in, alerting the evil spirits in the tomb.
"Impossible! How can there be ghosts in this world?!" He Qing quickly denied it in his heart. He believed in Marxist materialism and did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he immediately drove away the terrible thought.
, his mind calmed down a bit.
However, Lin Haitao and Tian Tian became more and more nervous. Their bodies were shaking slightly, and their faces were pale under the bright flashlight light, as if they had really seen a ghost.
"Haitao, I heard it." After a while, He Qing whispered.
"What did you hear?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing smiled faintly and said: "Don't scare yourselves first. It can't be a ghost. If my guess is correct. It should be the cry of a wild beast or a bird, most likely an insect like a bat.
It doesn’t matter.”
Hearing what he said as if nothing had happened, Lin Haitao and Tian Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and were no longer so nervous.
"Brother Qing, what should we do now?" Lin Haitao said, "There are so many cultural relics here, do we have to take them out?"
He Qing shook his head and said: "Where can I get them all? Just take this set of gold vessels and some other items with high collection value, and leave the rest alone. Let the archaeologists discover them."
"Well, I think that's the only way." Lin Haitao nodded in agreement.
After saying that, they packed up their things and took away those items with high collection value. When they turned around and left the "side hall", the three of them each held a bag containing antiques.
During this period, the strange screams coming from outside never stopped, and became more and more frequent. It seemed that there was more than one monster screaming, and there seemed to be several.
But since it was concluded that it was not a ghost, He Qing stopped worrying, and Lin Haitao and Tian Tian didn't think much about it.
However, when they returned, Lin Haitao and his colleagues still had sweat on their palms.
The place we are currently in is an ancient tomb that is thousands of years old, and no one has ever entered it. There may be dangers that they are not aware of yet.
"Quack..."
When he entered the dormitory, the most bizarre chirping sounded again, and the sound was obviously much louder.
"Brother Qing, there is a ghost..." Lin Haitao suddenly stopped and shouted tremblingly.
"What?!" He Qing was shocked. He didn't know what Lin Haitao saw that made him so frightened.
"There is a ghost..." Lin Haitao replied. His voice trembled violently, and he involuntarily took a step back as he spoke, as if he did not dare to step forward.
"Where is the ghost?" He Qing cheered up.
At this time, Tian Tian couldn't help but took a few steps back and almost retracted into the side hall.
Lin Haitao said: "Inside that coffin...maybe there are zombies! There are zombies in there!"
"No!" He Qing then shook the flashlight and looked at the location of the coffin. However, the lid of the coffin was intact and there was nothing abnormal. There were no zombies at all.
"Gu~~"
At this moment, the strange scream started, and the sound became much louder.
He Qing heard clearly now. As expected, the sound came from inside the coffin.
"What the hell is hidden in that coffin?!" He Qing couldn't help but think to himself.
When he thought of this, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
The things hidden in the coffin are definitely not ordinary things, they are definitely dangerous.
"Are there really zombies?!" He Qing thought secretly.
Lin Haitao's guess is not unreasonable. In many movies and novels, zombies are called like that, but I just didn't expect it to come from above.
It suddenly occurred to him that even if he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, He Qing had to be filled with doubts when the facts were before his eyes.
Regarding the contents of the coffin, He Qing never thought of opening the coffin to inspect it at first, because opening a coffin would be the greatest disrespect to the deceased. Secondly, the "treasure light" emanating from it was not very obvious. In this case,
He had no interest in opening it, and the burial objects in the side hall were what he wanted to hunt when he broke into this cemetery.
Now that they had obtained the batch of gold artifacts, it was considered a worthwhile trip. Who would have thought that when they were about to complete their work, they would encounter something like this.
"Haitao, Miss Tian, don't worry about it, let's go." He Qing said bravely, since this is the case, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and the sooner we leave, the better.
"Yeah." Lin Haitao and Tian Tian responded in unison, and then they quickly followed He Qing towards the exit.
But before he reached the door, suddenly, he heard a "crash".
The sound was harsh and extremely sudden.
In an instant, He Qing felt a cool breeze blowing from behind.
Several birds flew over quickly!
Before He Qing and the others could react, the birds and beasts that suddenly flew out quickly flew over their heads.
"Hurry and throw yourself on the ground!" He Qing screamed.
He immediately threw himself to the ground.
Lin Haitao and Tian Tian also followed the instructions and threw themselves on the ground.
As soon as they pounced down, they felt a strong strong wind whistling above their heads. It was obvious that birds and animals flew over from above.
If He Qing and the others hadn't fallen to the ground in time just now, they would most likely have been attacked by the unknown group of birds and beasts.
They have no idea about the condition of the bird, nor do they know whether it is poisonous or not. If the bird is poisonous or very ferocious, the consequences of being hit will be disastrous.
"What is that?!" He Qing gasped.
Lin Haitao also said with fear: "I don't know, but it's aggressive! Brother Qing, the bird seems to have flown out of the coffin. Are they hiding in it?"
He Qing nodded and said, "It's possible."
"Brother Qing, let's go quickly. It feels so dangerous here. If we get pecked by that strange bird, and that bird is poisonous, then we will be in trouble." Lin Haitao said quickly.
He Qing responded: "Well, we have to hurry up and leave this place as soon as possible."
"Yes, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Lin Haitao said hurriedly.
After saying that, the three of them were ready to get up and run out.
But just as he started to move, the bird flapped its wings and flew over at great speed.
"Get down quickly!" He Qing greeted hurriedly.
Lin Haitao and Tian Tian clung to the ground again.
Just like before, the flock of birds flew over their heads again.
Fortunately, He Qing responded quickly. Otherwise, he might have suffered a disaster.
"Brother Qing, that's not possible!" Lin Haitao frowned and said, "Those ghosts seem to be non-stop. They keep flying over here, forming a surrounding force. What should I do? Just lie here and don't move."
Tian Tian suddenly said: "Just crawl over there. There should be no problem."
But He Qing shook his head and said: "It's probably not feasible to crawl over on all fours. Haitao, Miss Tian. You lie down and don't move for now. I'll take a look at the situation."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned over and looked intently with the help of a flashlight.
"Eh?! That's weird!"
When he saw the scene in front of him, He Qing was secretly shocked. He seemed to have discovered something abnormal.
It turned out that he actually found that the golden light of the birds was very dazzling. What was even more astonishing was that the birds exuded a strong aura.
It actually radiates "treasure light"!
This is so weird!
He Qing only knew that antiques, gems and other items with a certain collection value could emit "treasure light". He had never seen this happen before in animals and other living creatures.
Could it be an ancient creature?
Like fossilized dinosaur eggs?
Many doubts lingered in He Qing's mind, and no one could tell him the answer.
However, he was able to see the ins and outs of those strange birds through his spiritual light.
In a flash of thought, the flock of birds rushed over again, passing above the head.
After making a circle, it flew back to its original position.
After the bird flew back, He Qing secretly activated his eyesight.
After a while, groups of red light gathered in front of his eyes. In an instant, the red light turned into red threads and poured into his eyes continuously.
"So that's how it is!" When he learned the ins and outs of those "golden birds and beasts", He Qing suddenly realized it secretly.
After knowing this situation, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart seemed to be relieved.
"Haitao, Miss Tian, you don't have to be afraid." He Qing then comforted him.
"What's wrong?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "Brother Qing, do you already know what kind of monster that bird is?"
He Qing replied in a very calm tone: "Yes, I have seen it. It is not a bird or other monster."
"It's not a bird? What is that?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise.
He Qing said with a smile: "You will know later. I will try to catch one first."
"Catch one? Is that okay?" Lin Haitao asked doubtfully.
He Qing said solemnly: "We have to fight them down, otherwise we won't be able to get out, because they are 'guarding birds' and will guard the exit. They can't get in or out, and they are very dangerous. But it doesn't matter if you just lie down and don't move."
Yeah, that's a blind spot, they can't attack you."
"Yeah, I understand." Lin Haitao responded happily.
While talking, He Qing picked up a stone from the ground, and when the birds flew closer, he threw it out violently.
The stone hit one of the birds, but the bird only shook and did not fall down.
But He Qing was not disappointed. When the bird flew over again, he followed the same pattern and threw a stone again. The stone hit the same bird without any bias.
This time I finally knocked down the bird...
Thank you to my old friends Huan Dian and Xu Nu for your reward and support!
