Thump. ”

Seeing this, Cao De lost all the joy that had just risen, and hurriedly led everyone to check, probed his nose, and found that the man had lost his breath.

Putting the torch down somewhat, Cao De pulled out the iron rod from his waist and fiddled with the corpse, trying to find out why he died.

But after looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything, but the changes in the corpse at this time gave him the answer.

Before the temperature of the corpse could go down, suddenly the face of the man on the ground turned black and began to decompose, apparently from the great poison of the wall and died.

Then this mechanism that opens the stone door must be accompanied by another mechanism, and it can kill people without people reacting.

The person was already dead, and there was not much point in verifying it, so Cao De stood up and announced the cause of death, let people record it, and led the people to move forward again.

But at this time, Cao De suddenly remembered why he didn't see the trapped person, what would happen.

"Stop." Cao De waved his hand, looked ahead with his eyes and said, "Be careful, something is wrong, the person inside is gone." ”

Hearing this, everyone was even more nervous, and with Cao De's words, they began to walk forward in groups of two.

Stepping through the stone gate, he didn't see the person leaving any mark, Cao De wondered in his heart, it stands to reason that he is alone inside, even if he looks for a switch, he will not go far, is it in danger.

Squatting down to look at the ground, he found that the man's steps were a little chaotic, as if some danger was coming, which made him anxious.

"Huh?" This is the footprint left by something, Cao De suddenly found a strange mark, and hurriedly took a torch in his hand and shone it on the ground.

After some observation, it was found that it was an inexplicable animal's footprints, that is, the animal would attack people, so he fled from here.

Cao De stood up and said, "Be careful, this is a beast that will attack people, he must have fled to the front, follow up." ”

After Cao De finished speaking, he led a group of people to walk forward, and often squatted down to check the footprints.

After walking for less than ten minutes, he suddenly found the torch discarded by the man on the ground, and there were still blood stains, and one person squatted down and sniffed it carefully.

"It's human blood, and the gore has a slight stench, and it should be poisonous."

This person was specially selected by Cao De, his nose can distinguish hundreds of smells, and he is a veteran of finding tombs and clearing roads.

Cao De's eyebrows furrowed and said, "It seems that there is a lot of luck, let's go." ”

In this way, the group continued to walk forward with doubts and worries, and blood stains were found in the way, apparently the man was seriously injured.

After walking for about a few hundred meters, a pair of green eyes suddenly stopped the group in front of them.

Seeing this, Cao De whispered, "Throw the torch over and see what it is?" ”

The first person was ordered to quickly throw the torch forward, and saw a huge mouse covered with black hair, with blood dripping from its mouth, looking at them vigilantly, and when he saw the torch flying, he quickly fled from the passage ahead.

"What kind of monster is this, how could there be such a big rat?"

"Yes, this tomb is hundreds of years old, what do they eat alive?"

……

Looking at the people who kept questioning, Cao De reminded: "Rats live in groups, be careful, you may be attacked next, order a few more torches, it seems that you should be afraid of fire." ”

Hearing the prompt, these people quickly recovered, and quickly took out the torches they carried, one of them holding one in each hand, so that the originally dark tomb road was much brighter.

After getting ready, Cao De and his party continued to set off, passing by the dead body with blurred flesh and blood and bones, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The corpse is black, and when you see it clearly, it is poisoned to death, that is to say, this unknown giant rat, with toxin, as long as it is bitten, it may be dead.

Everyone was more vigilant in their hearts, always keeping an eye on the front, for fear of suddenly rushing out of a group of giant rats.

Walking carefully all the way, Cao De and his party never encountered anything again, which made them wonder in their hearts, it stands to reason that there should be a tomb along the way, could it be that they opened the wrong hole.

At this moment, a corner suddenly appeared in front of them, which shocked everyone's hearts, and their hands couldn't help but clench their torches.

Turning the corner, two burial chambers appeared on both sides of the front, which made everyone happy, and they all looked at Cao De, wanting to see him choose the first one.

The choice of this tomb is very important, and if you don't do it well, you will pay the price, according to the practice of Qin history, the left may be a burial item, and the right may be a mausoleum.

But when they come in, they don't go in the right way, that is, they don't know whether it's in or out, that is, they can't confirm the left and right.

Cao De thought for a while and decided to take a gamble and open the left-hand side first. "Open this side first, stay safe."

Given the order, they began to look for the mechanism, but they bumped and bumped on the wall for a long time, and found nothing unusual.

Just as they were fully engaged in finding the mechanism, they did not know that danger was slowly approaching them.

Above the tomb, two pairs of green eyes were quietly approaching them.

"Squeak ......"

A small cry rang out, and an object quickly fell over the tombway, striking a man some distance from the group.

"Ahh A miserable scream startled Cao De and the others, and they hurriedly waved their torches and looked at the sound.

I saw a giant rat biting the man's neck, and someone didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately threw the torch over.

"Bang!"

The torch fell to the ground, splashing with sparks, and the giant rat was frightened, and immediately ran away for several meters, stopping and staring at Cao De and the others viciously, as if he was annoyed with them and disturbed it to eat.

The injured man hurriedly wanted to stand up and move closer to Cao De and the others, but before he had taken a few steps, he vomited black blood and fell to the ground and convulsed.

This scene made Cao De and his party nervous, obviously as long as they were bitten, there would be no way to live.

Cao De pulled out his short knife, glanced at the remaining five people and said, "Be careful, this beast must have called a companion when it went and returned." ”

"Plop!"

"Be careful, there's another one!"

"Choke!"

……

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant rat suddenly fell above the tomb and attacked the crowd, but these people have been walking in the tomb all year round.

With the vigilance just now, the attack did not cause any injuries, but chaos was inevitable.

When the giant rat saw that it could not be struck, he wanted to flee, but two of them had already died at their hands, and these people had long hated the giant rat in their hearts, which would have allowed him to escape so easily.

I saw the two of them quickly take out several daggers and fly out towards the location where the giant rat fled.

"Ding, Ding......"

"Poof......

The giant rat nimbly avoided the flying dagger, but was accidentally shot in the abdomen.

The sudden pain caused it to fall to the ground, but in just a few seconds, it stood up and quickly leaned towards the giant rat.
