Cao De said calmly: "Isn't there still that snake head, and this dead snake?" I'll try it later. ”

Well?

Cao De's meaning is that he wants to use this dead snake to fight against the rat group, and there is a risk in this, if the guess is wrong, it is a dead end.

But they have been doing things under the tomb for many years, and these people have long developed the psychology of gamblers, and unless it is a game that must be lost, they will give it a try.

But there is one thing that makes Wang Pi wonder, why Cao De must continue to explore, is there any secret in it, saying that it is to make up for the loss of personnel, and he is afraid that he will not be able to explain to Cao Cao, which is obviously not true.

But in front of so many people, Wang Pi didn't ask, but said quietly: "Okay, then give it a try." ”

Seeing that Wang Pi agreed, Cao De asked people to go up, take the head of the snake and give it to himself, and divide the body of the snake into corpses, and distribute them to everyone, so that they can prepare a little.

Everything was ready, Wang Pi, as the new tomb road, naturally took over the task of clearing the road, while Cao De waited for news in the rear.

Everyone had snakes on their bodies, and it was really expected, and the rats really didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, and slowly retreated as they advanced.

When Wang Pi came to the place of the accident, he saw a wide open stone gate, and the rats were all blocked at the door, looking at them with fierce eyes.

And the giant rat, as if he had not recovered from his injuries, was lying on a giant rat-like stone platform, his eyes looking at him viciously.

Wang Pi waved his hand and asked people to step forward, open the bloody corpse stuck in the stone gate, and close the stone gate, so as not to suddenly attack the rats.

After doing all this, Wang Pi carefully observed the place, and although there was blood all around, he also cleaned up some dust.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, but Wang Pi was not disgusted, because sometimes when he went to the tomb, the dead were even more disgusting than this, or they were unlucky, and they would encounter the corpses that had just decomposed, so these were nothing at all.

Wang Li's eyes suddenly swept to a wall, which was covered by splattered blood, but it was also the same, allowing the hard-to-find handwriting on it to show.

But if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all, Wang Pi stepped forward and found that it was a sixteen-character secret language.

The five beasts guard the road, the divine soldiers protect the master, the sky and the river are separated by the road, and the real dragon is in the sky.

These sixteen characters are engraved here, it must be useful, otherwise it will not appear, and the records in the general tomb are useful, either to introduce the owner's life, or to warn the intruder.

Wang Pi looked away from the wall and walked forward, and found that in addition to the first stone gate, there were four, adding up to exactly five.

So the five beasts, does it mean that there are five kinds of animals in these five stone rooms, if this is the case, I am afraid that as long as they are released, no one will be able to live.

Wang Li thought of this scene, trembled, and hurriedly walked back and whispered, "Go, go back quickly." ”

Seeing Wang Pi so nervous, everyone's hearts were also tight, and they hurriedly left, for fear that something terrible would suddenly appear.

When Wang Pi came back, he immediately said sixteen secret words to Cao De, and expressed his guess, wanting him to choose to quit and avoid the annihilation of the whole army.

Unexpectedly, Cao De, who has always been calm and takes care of the overall situation, actually rejected this proposal on the grounds that there was no gain, he could not explain to Cao Cao, and he could not withdraw.

This caught Wang Pi by surprise, and immediately reconfirmed and asked: "General, if you go down, there is more than half a chance that the whole army will be wiped out, think clearly." ”

Cao De said resolutely: "Ben will think very clearly, you and I will never have a chance to go down to this tomb again in our lives, should you just give up?" ”

Wang Li frowned slightly and said: "Then should you risk the lives of so many people, there are rules at the beginning, and when it is not feasible, you should quit immediately." ”

Cao De waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, now Ben will order you to continue to clear the road until you have something to gain, and then make a decision." ”

Wang Li looked at Cao De in disbelief, and saw that he looked like he had made up his mind, and couldn't bear to step forward and whisper: "General, the general has been with you for more than ten years, from Dong Zhuo at the beginning to Prime Minister Cao Cheng now, is there anything that can't be said between you and me?" ”

Cao De was unusual, something must have happened, Wang Li decided to figure it out, and then decide whether to continue.

Cao De looked away and said coldly: "Go, after this incident, I can retire to the mountains and forests." ”

"Hey." Wang Li took a long breath and continued helplessly: "General, although I don't understand the full meaning of those sixteen words, as long as the things in the five stone chambers come out, I am afraid that the people here will die nine times out of ten." ”

"That's enough." Seeing that Wang Pi had not carried out the order for a long time, Cao De seemed to have lost his patience, scolded him, and personally went to order people and let those people go to open the way first.

Seeing this, Wang Li knew that what should have been done had been done, as for the result, it only depended on the will of God, but Cao De's move made him vigilant in his heart.

The people who were named, although they were unwilling, could only clear the way forward with trepidation, and Cao De led the rest of the people to wait for news.

There are different voices in the team, which means that they will not work together, and those veterans who have gone to the tomb have begun to stand at this time, which can be seen from the location of the distribution.

Most of the soldiers of Cao Cao's faction were beside Cao De, and most of the veterans of tiger and leopard riding were beside Wang Pi, and it seemed that those who were in favor of retreating at this time had gained the upper hand.

Cao De didn't seem to care about this scene, and was closing his eyes to recuperate, making it impossible to guess what his intentions were.

His eyes came to the ten people who cleared the road in front of them, because the rat swarm had just happened, so they were all very cautious when they moved forward.

When passing by the five stone chambers, they did not stop, but slowed down and whispered through them.

After this worrying distance, the ten people's fluttering hearts eased a little, and they began to concentrate and move on.

After walking for about an hour, the sound of slight and neat footsteps suddenly came into their ears, which startled them, and they quickly stopped and listened carefully.

"Rustling ......"

The sound of neat footsteps became clearer and clearer, and the leader stepped forward cautiously, ready to see what was coming towards them.

Unfortunately, the light of the torch did not shine very far, and the man at the head could only see what was moving when he kept getting closer to the place where the sound came.

After about ten minutes, a group of soldiers in armor finally appeared in the man's eyes.

"How is this—how is this possible, hundreds of years, and there are still living people guarding the grave? It's impossible to ......" Looking at the tomb in front of him, the man was shocked and couldn't imagine it, so he quickly retreated quietly.

Joining the nine people, the man explained the situation, and at the same time sent someone to inform Cao De and ask for support, and the rest of the people were here to find out how many tomb guards there were.
