C22 Trapped
Zhang Zixuan walked over and said: "Big Brother Chen is right, if Brother Xiaolong had learnt some martial arts, your skills would have definitely improved! My Zhang Family has many martial arts manuals, if you have time, I can come here as a guest and give you some. "
"Why did you give it to me?" I asked, puzzled.
"Let's just be friends." After saying that, he handed me a small glass bottle and said, "This is a secret brewing wine. After you rub it on your wounds, it won't take 24 hours to recover."
I said thanks and started to ponder again. Why did Zhang Zixuan give me this? It couldn't be that he liked men, right? I shivered, not daring to think any further, and wiped the wine.
Most of the people had gone into the ghost tomb, and I sat there, wiping the wine and looking at the dead bodyguard, wondering who the hell these bodyguards were. He seemed to have no emotions and was fearless. Even though he knew that there was a path of death in front of him, he still obeyed his orders. Furthermore, he didn't even react when he saw that his comrade had died.
Chen Erxiao mentioned the eight great clans several times. Zhang Zixuan, Miss Jiang and the Chen brothers were all members of the eight great clans. Someone like Chen Jianmin would have to listen to the Chen brothers' orders. It seemed that the eight great families were very mysterious existences.
They were currently looking at books and hanging paintings. There were three paintings, the first one was that Long Chen had been struck by three arrows, two of them had pierced through his chest, but he still managed to cut off the head of the barbarian general.
The second time, Long Chen was sitting on the bed with his face pale white, instructing a group of people.
The third one was a stone room with a tall tombstone. It read: General's Tomb.
From this, it could be seen that the tomb was not Uncle Liu's, but was the unnamed General Long Chen. Miss Jiang had carefully rolled up the paintings, as if he wanted to take them out for a good collection.
As for the books, they were all about poetry and war. There wasn't anything special about them.
Chen Erxiao looked at his watch and said: "It's already 3 in the afternoon before we know it, let's leave and let the air in these tomb rooms circulate properly, we will explore again tomorrow."
Returning up, the bodyguards separated the black bear from last night and roasted it on the fire. Miss Jiang saw the fresh, bloody bear meat and thought of the miserable death of her bodyguard. As a result, that night, quite a few people chose to eat compressed biscuits.
I didn't care that much, I just squatted down beside the fire and ate roasted bear meat with the bodyguard. After all, I was injured today, so I had to eat meat to make up for it.
When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to find that all the wounds on my body had healed! Zhang Zixuan's medicinal wine was indeed a divine medicine, I have never heard of such a divine medicinal wine! The swelling on his face had disappeared, and he had regained his normal skin color. Too godly!
This morning, the bodyguards made a bear meat soup. It was very delicious, so I drank three bowls in a row, filled the kettle with water, and stuffed it into the Black Backpack. Then, I organized the lead block and the runes, preparing to explore the tomb again.
Where did the water come from? The nearby stream, of course. The bodyguards carried them back in buckets early in the morning. Wherever there were animals, there would be water. There was no doubt that these animals were not desert creatures. They had long since died of thirst without drinking water.
After breakfast, I said to the Chen Erxiao: "Second Young Master, I exhausted too much Yang energy yesterday, so it is not appropriate to extinguish my Yang energy today to open my eyes, and I have almost used up all the bovine tears, so I suggest for Xia Ran to shoulder the mission of scouting ghosts. Of course, if I really meet a ghost, I will make my move. " The reason I'm doing this is to take revenge on Xia Ran.
"Excessive depletion of yang energy?" Would his strength be reduced? Why not let you rest for a day? " Chen Erxiao said with concern. In fact, he was afraid that I would accidentally die, so it would be hard to find someone like me, and it would be a waste of time.
I hastily replied, "I thank the second young master for his concern. There's no need for rest. My strength won't be reduced. It's just that I can't extinguish my Yang Fire for the time being. I can recover tomorrow."
"That's good." Chen Haozhe said: "I was the one who called Xia Ran over to help, it's about time I let him help out."
Zhang Zixuan was right, Xia Ran was one of the lackeys under the Chen Erxiao, he obeyed to orders, and did not dare order anything, upon hearing the orders from the Chen Erxiao, he agreed without a second word.
After everyone was done packing, they entered the tomb again!
The blood stains around the dead bodyguard's body had dried. Everyone climbed over to the ghost lady's tomb and turned on the next tomb mechanism.
The bodyguards were all holding flashlight and pistols, afraid that some monster would come out from behind the stone door.
In the end, he discovered that there were no monsters in this stone room, nor were there any traps. There was only a two-meter-tall stone monument with four big words carved on it: "Those who enter will die!"
Chen Erxiao was very disdainful of these words as he said, "The ones in front are just traps. As long as everyone is careful, there's nothing to be afraid of. You go in and scout." Chen Erxiao ordered a bodyguard.
Just like how I tried to use the lead block to test the mechanisms, the bodyguards also prepared a few stones for today.
After probing for a while, the bodyguard confirmed that there were no traps in the room. We walked in and found that there was only one stone tablet in the tomb, and that there was nothing else. The Chen Erxiao commanded: "All of you, open the stone door."
Since the tomb had a stone tablet, which took up a lot of space, we retreated to the Ghost Tomb, leaving only four bodyguards to open the stone door. I stood in the doorway and watched their movements. One of the bodyguards' hands had just touched the golden wheel when I heard a loud bang from behind me! The stone door closed!
He had touched the mechanism!
The door to the ghost lady's tomb was closed! We 29 have gathered in the stone tomb and the female ghost's tomb, we have trapped everyone! One of the bodyguards tried to open the closed stone door, only to discover that the golden roulette had failed! The stone door could not be opened! Chen Erxiao's face was gloomy as he said, "Use explosives!"
The leader of the bodyguards said, "Second Young Master, we don't have much explosives left. There's no way for us to blast open such a thick stone door."
"Don't we still have grenades? He had to blast open the stone door! Otherwise, we will be trapped to death. The three of you stay behind and take care of the stone door. When we enter the next stone room, the three of you will begin to bomb. Hopefully, when I return, the door will have already exploded. " After the Chen Erxiao finished, he looked at us and said: "Everyone do not worry, we will continue to move forward, we cannot leave too many people behind, otherwise we will not be able to carry out the explosion, and these little mechanisms will not be able to stop us."
To be honest, I don't want to go any further.
There were too many traps here. If one was not careful, one would lose his life. This was not a joke. However, if I say no, with the gun in Chen Haozhe's hands, he probably would not hesitate to give me a bullet. Even Xia Ran views human life as grass, not to mention the Chen Haozhe who has an even stronger background.
When the stone door opened, a damp and rotten smell came in. One of the bodyguards said, "Second Young Master, it's so strange, behind the stone door is not a tomb, but a tunnel."
How did the tomb connect to the tunnel? We walked over curiously and found that it was indeed a tunnel. The walls and floor weren't smooth without any renovations. The tunnel was about two meters high and about two meters wide. It stretched to a great distance, the end of which could not be seen, and the tunnel was sloping downward. We didn't know what was ahead of us.
Waves of damp and rotten smell came out, the girls all covered their noses, Chen Erxiao commanded: "Forward."
After a few days of observation, I realised that the Chen family brothers' relationship weren't very good, they rarely spoke, and the people in the group had always been Chen Haozhe in charge, so when they made their decisions, they rarely discussed it with Chen Haotian. As for Chen Haotian, I feel that he is more trustworthy and suitable to be my friend. However, he has a high status and doesn't seem to be my friend.
The three bodyguards were leading the way, followed by Chen Haotian and me, the rest followed behind, Chen Haozhe himself ended the conversation.
There was no problem for the three of us to walk side by side in the cave. At the start, our progress was very slow. However, as we moved forward, we realized that there were no traps or ghosts on the road.
After walking forward for about two kilometers, he felt the stench growing stronger and stronger, to the point that he felt like he was suffocating. Even Chen Haotian frowned slightly.
After advancing another few dozen meters, we found ourselves in an even bigger cave! The tunnel they passed through was connected to this cave! The cave is very big, very wide and very tall
But when we shone the flashlight onto the top of the cave, we discovered that something was wrong! There were many spots of green light above the cave! Miss Jiang screamed, "Ah! So many bats! "
It was unknown if it was because of this cry, or because the flashlight light had scared those things, but countless green dots flapped their wings and flew down! It really was a bat! It was a huge number! Spreading out their wings, each of them was more than 30 centimeters long! And he attacked us! Everyone had a large number of bats by their side! As Chen Haotian brandished his dagger, he shouted, "Retreat! Fast! No one is allowed to shoot in case of accidental injury! "
Chen Erxiao took the lead and ran into the tunnel! Her plaything Suo Suo fainted from fear, she did not care about Suo Suo, he just ran without looking back, and soon disappeared.
Zhang Zixuan's woman knew martial arts, quickly chasing away the surrounding bats, and pulled Zhang Zixuan into the tunnel.
Xia Ran that grandson also escaped right behind Zhang Zixuan, completely ignoring Zhou Huiqing who was surrounded by bats! I cursed in my heart, this grandson is so inhumane, he will definitely die a horrible death!
I am not a virtuous and noble person, I will not save the unconscious Suo Suo, but I cannot ignore Zhou Huiqing! Waving my dagger, I ran to her side and grabbed the bat on top of her. Then I took off my sportswear and wrapped it around her. I dragged her along with me as I ran through the tunnel …
