Taking advantage of this moment, I pulled Jiao Ba aside and said, "Are these Qing soldiers...really killed by these stone statues?"
"Well, these are definitely not ordinary stone statues. Judging from the paintings on the stone wall and their different postures, I guess this is the work of a wizard. He turned living people into stone statues."
Jiao Ba's words scared me so much that I couldn't open my mouth from ear to ear. "What? Turning a living person into a stone statue? This... this is simply unbelievable." I really can't express my feelings.
, already speechless.
"In ancient times, some dark mages would use spells and combine them with something, and then turn people into stone statues to achieve the goals they wanted. Stone statues were lifeless and would only complete the tasks assigned to them by the wizards, but
Under normal circumstances, these stone statues are all sleeping. I don't know when they will wake up. They should need some external help, but I can't think of any help yet." Jiao Ba scratched his head, seeming a little powerless.
"Are all these things you said true?" I still couldn't believe it. This wizard was really terrifying.
"Brother, I don't need to lie to you. Everything on this island should be the work of this wizard. This is a very powerful person. We have to be more careful. If he is still alive, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Yes." Jiao Ba's expression was very scary, I have almost never seen him like this.
I nodded numbly, "I understand, go find the entrance and be careful."
After Jiao Ba left, I was in a daze for a few seconds. After listening to his words, I became even more convinced. If I wanted to know the ins and outs of all this, I could only start with that shriveled old man. But during this period, that
The old man hasn't shown up yet, so I have to find a way to find him.
Under the blue firelight, we checked the entire underground palace, but there was no entrance at all on the surrounding walls. It seemed that the only possibility was underground. Now the ground was covered with corpses, so we could only put these
The bones were picked apart bit by bit and searched for.
We all spread out, dug up the corpses on the ground, and inspected every corner, not daring to miss any place.
After searching for about half an hour, I heard Jiao Ba shouting, "Found it, the entrance is here."
A few of us quickly got up and went over. Jiao Ba was in the middle of the underground palace at that time. He opened up all the bones around him. On the ground, we could clearly see the shape of a stone door.
The normal ground is also paved with stone slabs one by one, but the bottom of Jiao Ba is paved with two oversized stone slabs, and the distance between the stone slabs is slightly farther. It is obvious that these two stone slabs are
The stone slab should be the stone door leading to the underground.
But the only thing that is not harmonious is that there are two stone statues next to each other on top of the stone gate. These two stone statues just stand at the entrance of the stone gate.
"It is indeed the Shimen. It seems that as long as we open it, we can go down." Mr. Mai's expression was a little excited. I have rarely seen him so excited.
"Well, maybe down here is the main tomb of this tomb, but this stone statue is in the way, we have to move it away." Chang Shan said, looking at the two stone statues in front of him.
The big man grinned and said, "It's not that simple. Just push it away and it's over." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push the stone statue.
But at this moment, Jiao Ba suddenly shouted, "Don't touch that stone statue."
But it was too late for him to say this. The big man's hands were already holding the stone statue. When he heard Jiao Ba's cry, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Jiao Ba? Isn't it necessary?"
Did he push away?"
Jiao Ba did not answer his words, but stared at the stone statue in front of him with wide eyes, and whispered softly, "It's terrible, it's terrible, something is going to happen."
The big man looked at us and said a little confused, "What...what happened here? A sudden surprise?"
When he finished speaking, suddenly, the entire underground palace began to tremble slightly. The frequency of this tremor was different from that of an earthquake. It was as if someone was deliberately shaking the entire space, and there were also "cooing" noises coming from all around.
sound.
The big man immediately let go of the stone statue and said a little scared, "My mother, what on earth is going on? Is there an earthquake?"
The rest of us also hurriedly stood up. The shaking of the underground palace made our bodies sway. We couldn't stand at all. The big guys grabbed one by one and tried to maintain the balance of the body and ensure everyone's safety. This
Everything happened too fast, without giving us any chance to react.
"Oh my god, could it really be that there was an earthquake on the island?" Jenny said in a panic.
Mai Lao shook his body and shouted, "Guys, be careful, don't let go."
The underground palace shook violently, causing dust to fall all around. Mr. Mai signaled everyone to retreat quickly and go back first.
Just when we were about to rush up the steps and return to the upper floor of the underground palace, suddenly, the shaking of the underground palace stopped. It stopped immediately, just like a sudden brake. There was no buffer at all and it was stuck directly, just like just now.
It's like nothing happened.
We were breathing heavily, looking at each other, and we were all a little confused. Why did this happen when it shook and stopped? No one moved, they just stood there and let go.
The Buddha has not yet recovered from what happened just now.
"It's stopped. It should be okay, right?" Li Xin was the first to speak, and she relaxed all over.
"***, what a false alarm. I thought the sky was going to fall." Steamed Bun cursed and reached out to wipe the sweat from his face.
But just when he finished speaking, I saw something I couldn't imagine, and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Those things that were supposed to be just stone statues seemed to have come to life for a moment. They actually came to life, because I saw with my own eyes a stone statue not far away, opening its closed eyes little by little. At this moment
I was so shocked that cold sweat fell down like water, and I took a step back unconsciously.
At the same time, Jiao Ba's deep voice came over, "This matter is not over yet. Those stone statues should be resurrected. I thought that it should be human spiritual energy that activated them."
"Oh my god, this stone statue is really moving." Steamed Bun shouted in fright, took two steps back, and pulled out the knife fiercely.
Only then did I notice that the two stone statues blocking the stone door in front of us had fully opened their eyes, and their necks were actually turning left and right a little bit, and there seemed to be a layer of energy surrounding their bodies.
Black mist.
This black mist was very similar to the black mist I saw emanating from the corpse of the woman in the coffin before. It looked very evil, and all of us immediately took a few steps back.
"I told you that there must be something wrong with this stone statue, but you still don't believe it."
Jiao Ba also pulled out his diving knife, stared at the stone statue in front of him and said, he must have been extremely depressed. The resurrection of this stone statue should be related to the big man's hand touching them, otherwise they would not be missed.
Awakening for no reason.
"What's the use of talking about it now? The most important thing is to think of a solution quickly." Mr. Mai turned his head and yelled at Jiao Ba, who was extremely nervous now.
The big man looked around and said tremblingly, "How about... how about we go back to the previous floor?"
"Wait a minute, the only entrance is blocked by the two stone statues, but as long as they leave the stone door, we can still almost go down." I stared at the entrance and said with a cold face.
In fact, even if you return to the previous level, it may not be of any use. We don’t know what happened above, so maybe it’s not as good as here.
The black mist entwines around each stone statue, like energy, and is absorbed by them bit by bit. The stone statues that were originally a little yellow are now slowly changing.
It turns black and starts to change color a little bit from the feet.
When their entire legs turned black, they could stand up straight, and the black mist was moving upwards. Only then did I notice that when they moved their bodies, there was no such stone at all.
The sound was like a living person waking up.
Suddenly, Jiao Ba shouted, "Hurry and knock these two stone statues away before they wake up completely." Before he could finish shouting, others had already rushed out.
As soon as I saw him moving, I followed him up with a lunge. When I rushed to the stone statue, I wanted to knock him aside with my body, but I never expected that this stone statue
Human movement speed is not slow at all.
I turned my body sideways, intending to give it a strong impact with my arm, but what I was waiting for was its powerful kick. The stone statue kicked me hard on my arm.
Because it was a competition between the two sides, I exerted force, and it also exerted force, but I was not as strong as him at all. I was kicked by him and penetrated directly to the ground, and my body fell downwards.
There was a loud "dong" sound, and I was immediately dizzy after falling.
It hurt so much that I fell to the ground and couldn't get up. I shook my head a few times and supported the ground with both hands. Just when I was about to turn over, I looked up and saw that this big stone statue had just raised its feet and was running.
My face came.
I was suddenly shocked. If he stepped on me, my head would be shattered. But at this critical moment, someone behind me suddenly grabbed my foot and pulled me out.
As soon as I pulled my body out, the big feet of the stone statue fell down.
When he stepped down with his foot, there was a loud noise, which crushed the stone pavement below. I was so frightened that I was so smart. If it had been a little later, I would have died...
