Chapter 549: Danger Comes Again
Cao De put away his thoughts and didn't dare to think about it, because the man's warning was always ringing in his ears.
Looking at the mountains of treasures, Cao De felt retreating in his heart, should this trip be stopped like this, with these things, where should the prime minister be able to explain.
But people are curious, the more they are not allowed to do it, the more they want to do it, not to mention that there are still things in this tomb, and Cao De wants to figure out very much.
After thinking about it, Cao De still didn't dare, because he didn't have any strength, he didn't have the ability to guarantee his life, although all the results were important, but without his life, they were all floating clouds.
Cao De thought of a countermeasure in his heart, walked outside, came to the gate, and saw that the people outside the door were on standby, as if he didn't see anyone leaving.
This is also normal, with that person's speed, I am afraid that they will not even be able to see the afterimage, after all, their eyes have been mutated by snake blood, and they can see more clearly than others.
Cao De said quietly: "There is a stone room treasure inside, you go in and move out, be careful, and try to avoid those bronze people." ”
After Cao De finished speaking, he took the lead and led them in, and when he came to the room, he was distracted when he saw so many treasures.
"Ahem." Cao De coughed twice and said, "Move, be careful, this item is more important than your life." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
……
Cao De reprimanded a few words, turned to leave, and summoned the non-commissioned officers in the tomb for the first time, preparing to hold a meeting.
Knowing that Cao De had summoned him, the non-commissioned officer hurriedly came, because he had previously explained that as long as he was summoned after going to the tomb, something big would happen.
"Ahem, ahem." As soon as the people arrived, Cao De pretended to cough and said: "At present, we have stolen enough military funds needed by the prime minister, and if we continue, what will happen, Ben Jiang can't guarantee it, because Ben Jiang has just cleared the road, and Ben General has been seriously injured." ”
Under the man's advice, Cao De chose to withdraw, but as a general of the first army, he could not order the withdrawal without reason, unless nothing was found and he suffered heavy losses.
But now that he has tasted the temptation, if he suddenly orders to withdraw, he is afraid that where it will reach Cao Cao, he will definitely have ideas, and he will lose his life if he doesn't do it, so let everyone call the shots, and he will have an excuse.
As Cao De expected, these people had already forgotten the threat of the giant rat and the giant snake in their hearts after getting the burial goods of the two stone chambers, and they did not agree to withdraw at all, and were ready to go straight to the real tomb, obtain greater money, and strive for a sum of money that could be collected for retirement.
Since Cao De was injured, they were not reluctant, let him sit in the rear, and summon people to continue to clear the road.
Cao De has already said what he should say, and if he continues to talk about it, it will only make them suspicious, and when Cao Cao's suspicious personality comes, he will definitely think that he wants to swallow the funeral of the real tomb alone.
The funeral goods in a stone room look like a lot, but they can't withstand the many people who move, and after a few hours, they will be moved completely.
Cao De strictly ordered all his subordinates to withdraw from the stone room, because the key to open the door was the sword, and the sword was taken away by the resurrected person, so this time all the people withdrew, and it was equivalent to this stone room, and it could no longer be opened.
Touching the scabbard pinned to his waist, Cao De shook his head helplessly, I don't know if the person deliberately left the scabbard, just to close this stone gate forever.
When his thoughts returned, he saw that someone had cleared the road in front of him, Cao De thought for a long time, and decided to let most of the people who stayed behind escort the jewelry back first, and handed over to Cao Cao.
After arranging these, Cao De rested in the rear with a lot of concern, waiting for news from the front.
But unfortunately, everyone who sat was almost asleep, and there was no news from him.
According to the normal situation of the previous road clearing, there should be news at this time, is it a straight road ahead, or nothing.
It can't be, there must be something going on, could it be that Qinglu is all dead, wouldn't it, then what happened to them, not a single person who escaped to report the letter?
Cao De was worried and decided to send someone to see what was going on.
But the people who wanted to be sent out had no news for several hours, and Cao De could finally determine that something must have happened ahead, and those people should all be dead.
Looking at the sleepy people beside him, Cao De decided to choose a few people to see it in person.
Cao De ordered a few people at random and led them forward, there was no danger along the way, and it was obvious that they had been cleaned up.
After walking for nearly an hour, Cao De frowned, waved his hand to stop, sucked hard in his nose, and moved his ears.
There is a smell of blood, and there are inexplicable screams, it seems that something is going on ahead.
Cao De whispered: "You are waiting here, Ben will go over to take a look, don't act rashly." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
……
Cao De slowed down, stepped forward gently, and looked ahead vigilantly with the convenience of his eyes.
At a corner, Cao De poked his head out slightly, only to see a stone door in front of him wide open, and the ground was covered with rats, gnawing on the corpse in the blur of flesh and blood, but he didn't see the giant rat.
It seems that the people who should clear the road have died from the rat mouth, this number is too much, if it is one or two ends, it doesn't matter if it is bigger, but this number, no matter how many people there are, it will not help.
Cao De thought for a while, and left lightly, when an inexplicable cry suddenly sounded.
"Squeak Squeak ......"
As soon as the sound sounded, all the rats that were gnawing on the corpses stopped, as if they heard some order, raised their heads neatly, and then rushed towards Cao De's position just now.
Thousands of rats rushed in, causing quite a lot of movement, and the sound came into Cao De's ears, he already understood something, and hurriedly accelerated his speed and ran away.
"Let's go! There is danger! ”
Seeing Cao De's sudden acceleration, those people also understood that something must be rushing towards them, so they hurriedly ran away.
The escape of Cao De and the others and the commotion also made the rats find their target and rush frantically.
In a panic, a person suddenly fell, and just as he wanted to get up, he felt a pain in his hind legs, and quickly kicked and tore his own things, trying to get out.
Unexpectedly, in this delay, more and more rats climbed on his body and began to bite him frantically.
"Ahh Help, general save me......"
The screams kept coming, but Cao De and the others didn't dare to stop at all, because the rats behind them were getting closer and closer.
The screaming lasted less than a minute, and then there was no more sound, and it seemed that these rats were extremely aggressive.
Under the threat of his life, Cao De couldn't care so much, and ordered loudly: "Leave two people to defend, otherwise they will both die, and the family will take care of the people who stay." ”
Cao De is right, if you don't leave a few people to die, don't want to live a person, but in this case where you don't have time to think, no one is willing to die for no reason.
With the movement from his ears, Cao De knew that the rat was approaching, and in desperation, he pushed the two people behind him down and left quickly.
