The three people who were nervous about the two tattered clothes gradually regained their composure!
Liu Shiba checked himself carefully, but found nothing strange and no trace of soul-returning insect eggs.
Liu Shiba looked at Liu Qian expressionlessly, took a few puffs of a cigarette, and then sighed.
"call!"
Liu Qian looked at Liu Shiba nervously and asked:
"Captain, what's wrong?"
Liu Shiba whispered:
"There are some things that we can't just take at face value. From the beginning, we determined that the Gate of Life and Death was an illusion.
But, judging from these two pieces of clothing, it seems to have returned to reality."
Although Liu Shiba's words are ordinary, if you think about it carefully, you will find the weirdness in them!
After going through everything that happened, Liu Shiba suddenly realized that there was a detail that he had overlooked.
Cao Xiong, who escaped from the dimensional space, seemed to have deliberately led the three of him to this cave full of mummies?
What is the purpose?
Liu Shiba shook his head and stopped thinking about it!
There are enough mysteries now, one more won't matter!
The most important thing now is to quickly solve the mystery and leave here. This place is too evil!
After finishing his cigarette, Liu Shiba glanced at Qin Da and Liu Qian, who had a distorted expression, and walked towards the altar.
Qin Da and Liu Qian were still around the altar, nervously staring at the layers of mummies surrounding them.
He stopped, touched the finger-thick tube under the altar, then lay down on the cold ground and blew lightly...
Liu Shiba's movements were a bit strange. Qin Da and Liu Qian stood behind Liu Shiba and watched silently.
Liu Shiba looked a little strange and walked a few meters further along the tube, repeating the same action.
Then Liu Shiba was silent for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at Qin Da and Liu Qian and explained:
"If my guess is correct, the bottom of this altar is hollow, and there should be a hidden space."
Liu Qian didn't react when he heard this. Qin Da took out his engineering shovel and knocked around the altar in preparation for excavation.
"How did the captain judge?"
Liu Qian finally couldn't hold it back and asked curiously.
Liu Shiba nodded, his nervous face relaxed a little, pointed to the tube extending from the altar, and explained:
"If you look at the finger-thick tube from the outside, it should be where blood circulates.
Perhaps they were waiting for the soul-returning insects to inject the blood essence into the altar, and then flow it to other places along the tube.
I used to do engineering surveying in Xuchang. The flow of liquids has very high requirements on the water level. Looking at the terrain, even if it flows, it won't be too far.
I just blew a few breaths into the tube to blow away the dust attached inside, and found that the inside of the tube was uneven and did not meet the standards for liquid flow at all.
These weird things were obviously set up to confuse some tomb robbers. Since the altar of this sinister place, or corpse raising place, was designed by the ancients, there should be a secret passage or space under the altar!
Because the blood essence injected by the soul-returning insect must flow to a designated place before it can be effective."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian suddenly became energetic, and the fear on his face gradually dissipated. He took the engineering shovel and prepared to join Qin Da's excavation activities.
"Master, this is not good!"
When Liu Shiba and Liu Qian were talking, Qin Da suddenly ran over from the altar like a madman, and threw Liu Shiba and Liu Qian down on the ground.
The sudden pounce made Liu Shiba feel very abrupt and confused.
Qin Da's body was not lacking in strength. His heavy weight coupled with the power of sprinting, caught Liu Shiba and Liu Qian by surprise...
"boom!"
Liu Shiba grinned and was about to ask Qin Da what he was doing when he heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the altar...
What exploded?
The dull sound echoed back and forth in the cave, causing countless mummies and the red soul-reviving insects on their bodies to rattle...
Because the space was closed, the loud noise caused the rocks on the roof of the grotto to fall down.
Liu Shiba was stunned, covering his buzzing ears, and looked in the direction of the altar in a daze.
Hundreds of mummies piled up and standing around the altar were blown into pieces. Countless blasted soul-returning worms squirmed on the ground, and the shocking blood essence flowed down into the pit...
A frightening big pit appeared on the side of the altar?
"What's going on? Why did it explode?"
Liu Qian looked pale at this time and asked tremblingly.
Qin Da touched his head nonchalantly, his face full of fear, and he said strangely:
"I don't know what happened, but I dug up a few round things that were not cold in winter. When I knocked them, they started to smoke..."
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this.
How long has it been since? Is it still usable?
Not to mention the weird and backward gunpowder!
"Did China have any during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties?"
Liu Shiba asked, glaring at Liu Qian with a wide grin.
Liu Qian looked dumbfounded and responded mechanically after hearing the words:
“Gunpowder, papermaking, printing, and the compass are collectively known as the four great inventions of ancient Chinese science and technology.
Ancient books show that the earliest gunpowder came out in the second half of the ninth century AD at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, and was invented by some Taoist priests and monks who practiced alchemy."
Liu Shiba nodded when he heard this, but his heart moved, Taoist priests and monks?
Aren’t these people who practice Taoism and Buddhism the eighth among the ten cultivators in the world, the six thieves, the seven phases, and the eight worshiping gods, and the eight worshiping gods among the nine nobles and ten health care practitioners?
These people have the same power of faith as European and American countries believe in God, and they also have some weird powers!
Then Liu Shiba stood up, followed Qin Da to the side of the altar, and was in front of the big pit where he was blown out.
In the bottomless pit, there is a biting wind blowing out from below.
At the same time, there was an extremely strong smell of blood gushing out from the pit.
Liu Shiba suppressed the uncertainty in his heart and looked sideways at Liu Qian!
Liu Qian was obviously very frightened, and his facial features were all distorted.
Qin Da cautiously pressed the flashlight with his hand and looked into the pit, but found nothing.
The entrance to the cave is deep, and I wonder where the blood essence of those soul-returning insects will eventually flow to?
However, Liu Shiba was certain that the final destination of all the blood essence ingested by the soul-returning insects in the grotto was the big pit at the feet of the three of them.
Maybe, the entire ancient tomb, and the entire secret of the eight dragons carrying the coffin, are under this big pit...
And this big pit was accidentally exploded by some stupid Qin guy who accidentally touched the deeply buried hole.
Looking at the rubble scattered around the altar, Liu Shiba realized how lucky his group was.
The solid rocks under the altar are impossible to dig open with engineering shovels!
Thinking of this, Liu Shiba swallowed hard, turned to stare at Qin Da, and said strangely:
"What did you use to dig it?"
Qin Da scratched his head, pointed to the dagger in his hand, and replied:
"The shovel couldn't dig it, it broke open after two strokes. The dagger I used..."
Forged from future technology metal, indestructible, the dagger of the invincible army of the Qin Dynasty?
I have a big problem, I can actually pick up a package while walking...
"Let's go! You dug the hole. You go ahead and let's go down and take a look. We've come this far. If we don't go down to see what's going on, we won't feel at ease!"
Liu Shiba sighed speechlessly.
Qin Da was stunned when he heard this, looked down, and said stupidly:
"I don't know the depth, how to get down?"
"Use this!"
Liu Shiba's mind moved and he took out a 200-meter climbing rope, which was also left over from the last expedition.
Qin Da looked at Liu Qian with a warning look, picked up the climbing rope, and carefully leaned down towards the entrance of the cave.
After Qin Da tied the rope, Liu Shiba followed Qin Da and got in, while Liu Qian walked at the end!
Under the altar, there is indeed a deep shaft-like cave, bottomless!
Under the refraction of the dim light, a twenty-centimeter-wide blood tank on the shaft wall appeared extremely conspicuous, with a trace of blood dripping from it constantly seeping down.
Liu Qian walked at the end, dozens of meters away from Liu Shiba and Qin Da!
At this time, Qin Da, who was in front of Liu Shiba, suddenly raised his head and pinched Liu Shiba's foot.
Liu Shiba looked down, Qin Da's eyes flashed and he said strangely:
"Master, you have to be careful Liu Qian!"
Liu Shiba's heart moved, he looked up at Liu Qian who was dozens of meters away, and whispered:
"What's wrong?"
Qin Da hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said:
"There's something wrong with this kid. I often see murderous intent in his eyes..."
